FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Sections 21E and Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). “Forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation and availability of financial resources. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: proposed new programs; expectations that regulatory developments or other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and our liquidity; statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts as to our business, financial and operational results and future economic performance; and statements of management’s goals and objectives and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “foresee” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and variations of these words and similar expressions, as well as statements in the future tense, identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially As used in this report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, and the “Company” means MyDx, Inc. a Nevada corporation and its subsidiaries.

 

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

 

our ability to deploy our solutions and develop new products;
any contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
any possible financings;
the adequacy of our cash reserves and working capital
our ability to grow revenue, and in amounts greater than our operating and capital expenditures;
our ability to evaluate our current and future prospects;
access by us and our customers to financing;
our ability to keep pace with changes in technology;
our ability to protect our intellectual property;
competition and competitive factors;
the amount of capital expenditures required to grow our business;
our ability to comply with government regulation affecting our business;
the impact of worldwide economic conditions; and
the other factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” under Item 1a. of this Annual Report.

 

Because the factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. New factors emerge from time to time, and their emergence is impossible for us to predict. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

  

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

 

This Annual Report should be read completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. This Annual Report should be read in conjunction all reports Registrant has previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward looking statements included in this Annual Report are made as of the date of this Annual Report and should be evaluated with consideration of any changes occurring after the date of this Annual Report. We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

 

 

 

PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Organization

 

MyDx, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) (formally known as Brista Corp.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 20, 2012 (date of inception). The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, CDx, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 16, 2013.

 

On April 9, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CDx Merger Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and CDx, Inc. (“CDx”), a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was to merge with and into CDx with CDx surviving the merger as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). The Merger is treated as a reverse acquisition of the Company, a public shell company, for financial accounting and reporting purposes. As such, CDx is treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes while the Company is treated as the acquired entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes. On April 24, 2015, in anticipation of closing the Merger, the Company changed its name to MyDx, Inc. On April 30, 2015, the Merger was consummated. The Merger was structured such that As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of CDx common stock (other than shares owned by any stockholder of CDx who is entitled to and properly exercises dissenters’ rights under Delaware law) were converted into the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Company received approximately 94% of CDx shares outstanding. None of the CDx shareholders who held shares representing the other 6% of CDx shares outstanding properly exercised dissenters’ rights under Delaware law. As a result, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, these 6% shares, although never exchanged, ceased to exist in 2015. The Company has 100% ownership of CDx and there is no indication of non-controlling interest that needs to be considered.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, each share of CDx’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into the right to receive one (1) share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, the Company assumed all of CDx’s options and warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, 6,069,960 and 7,571,395 shares of Common Stock, respectively. Prior to and as a condition to the closing of the Merger, each then-current Company stockholder agreed to sell certain shares of Common Stock held by such holder to the Company and the then-current Company stockholders retained an aggregate of 1,990,637 shares of Common Stock. Therefore, following the Merger, CDx’s former stockholders held 19,855,295 shares of the Common Stock which was approximately 91% of the Common Stock outstanding on April 30, 2015.

 

Business

 

MyDx is a science and technology company that develops and deploys products and services in the following focus areas:

 

  1) Consumer Products – smart devices and consumables

 

  2) Data Analytics – pre-clinical chemical analysis and patient feedback ecosystem

 

  3) Biopharmaceuticals – identifying ‘green Active Pharmaceutical IngredientsTM, (gAPITM) and corresponding formulations

 

  4) Software as a Service (SaaS) – Software services for prescribers, patient groups, cultivators, and regulators

 

 1 

 

 

We are committed to addressing areas of critical national need to promote public safety, transparency and regulation in the various markets we serve.

 

The Company’s first product, MyDx®, also known as “My Diagnostic”, is a multiuse hand-held chemical analyzer made for consumers and professional users which feeds our data analytics platform and SaaS business. MyDx is intended to allow consumers to Trust & Verify® what they put into their mind and body by using our science and technology to test for pesticides in food, chemicals in water, toxins in the air, and the safety and potency of cannabis samples, which is our initial focus.

 

The Company’s founder, sole officer and sole member of the Board of Directors, Daniel Yazbeck, is an experienced executive with over 15 years of product research, development and commercialization experience including at Fortune 500 companies. Mr. Yazbeck was a scientist for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, specializing in Chemical R&D technologies that identify and manufacture Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients at scale using green chemistry and a strategic product and market developer for Panasonic, engineering new consumer electronic products and deploying them with strategic partners in the healthcare industry. Mr. Yazbeck is also a seasoned asset-backed investor at Yazbeck Investments and holds a master of science degree from McGill University.

 

The Company has received cash investment of approximately $8 million to date. The MyDx Analyzer was released in the third quarter of 2015 and the Company received an additional $250,000 loan from an entity affiliated with Mr. Yazbeck to help finance its operations in the fourth quarter. In 2016, we believe the Company continued to penetrate the market and increased brand recognition. In addition, in 2016, the Company launched additional products that tests for pesticides in food and chemicals in water and financed the company’s operations primarily through the issuance of convertible debt. In 2017, MyDx continued to expand the CannaDx community and capitalize on its consumer-generated database, which the Company believes is one of the largest pre-clinical data repositories of its kind in the world, which contains nearly 10 million data points correlating consumer feedback to cannabis chemical profiles. In addition, in order to position itself for long-term sustainable growth and profitability, MyDx diversified its revenue streams through the ECOSmartPenTM and MyDx360, improved CannaDx gross margins, initiated Formal Clinical Trials on select formulas to ascertain their efficacy in relieving various ailments, such as acute lower back pain, and strengthened its balance sheet by eliminating its toxic convertible debt.

 

Business Segments (Cannabis Industry Focus)

 

The company is currently focused on 4 key business segments to service the cannabis industry.

 

1. Consumer Products

 

Smart Devices & Consumables

 

  1) CannaDxTM

 

  The cannabis industry’s first hand-held cannabis sensor and analyzer with disposable single use inserts.
  Comes with a mobile app that acts as a ‘virtual budtender’.
  Analyzes cannabis sample and provides a Total Canna ProfileTM (TCP), a more complete chemical profile to include THC and the most prevalent cannabinoids and terpenes found in cannabis plants.
  Cannabinoids such as THC and CBD have been reported to bind the CB1 and CB2 receptors found throughout the human body and have been reported to provide relief to an array of symptoms, including pain, nausea, and inflammation to name a few. Terpenes, which have been reported to compound the effects of cannabinoids on the body via an “Entourage Effect”, are also important in determining the overall physiological effects various cannabis chemical profiles.
  Enables users to log their ailments and side effects and tie those back to the exact chemical profile
  Provides strain recommendations based on desired “relief” input based on crowdsourced community feedback.

 

 2 

 

 

  2) Eco Smart PenTM and Other Delivery Devices

 

  MyDx has developed additional smart hardware that gather user data, such as the Eco Smart Pen. MyDx plans to release the Eco Smart Pen in the third quarter of 2018.
  Integrated with Bluetooth as well as other technologies that will allow for mobile-app control, dose restrictions, safety controls, and usage statistics.
  We plan to OEM these product to third-party customers

 

  3) MyDx Tablet Edition

 

  MyDx plans to develop he first touchscreen kitchen tablet in the market with integrated MyDx sensor reading capability

  Sensor lineup to include OrganaDx, AquaDx, and AeroDx.

  Company plans to offer CannaDx data portal management ability in MyDx 2.

 

MyDx plans to evaluate 510K approval in the US and/or Clinical Device Designation in Canada to leverage its consumer products and the ability of insurance companies to support sales of its smart devices and generate HIPPA compliant crowdsourced data.

 

2. Data Analytics

 

Pre-Clinical Chemical Analysis and Patient Feedback Ecosystem

 

MyDx has four classes of data and algorithms:

 

  1) User Data

 

  When users download the CannaDx mobile app, we may ask them put in personal details such as gender, location, height, weight, age etc. that we maintain while complying with HIPAA.

 

  2) Chemical Composition Data

 

  This information is sourced from a number of inputs including the CannaDx Handheld’s Total Canna Profile (TCP), partner laboratories analyses, and branded pre-tested concentrates.

 

  3) User Feedback

 

  Provided by users in our CannaDx mobile app as they try various products and record their experiences with those products.

 

  4) Usage Statistics

 

  We will capture type, frequency, dosage, ailments relieved, and side effects.

 

MyDx is leveraging this data, which combined is referred to as the Total Canna ProfileTM (TCP), combined with our proprietary algorithms, to develop key insights into user behavior based on unique chemical profiles. Our goal is to track how a specific sample is expected to help relieve certain ailments and to validate the results.

3. Biopharmaceutical

 

Identifying ‘green Active Pharmaceutical IngredientsTM (gAPITM) and corresponding formulations

 

  1) Sale and License of Product Formulations

 

  MyDx plans to work with third party customers under the MyDx360 platform to license crowdsourced formulated chemical profiles that are expected to address a specific “relief” desired using its own proprietary formulas derived from our extensive dataset and algorithms.

 

  2) Sale of green Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (gAPITM)

 

  This division will also look to provide an organic source of extracted green Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (gAPITM), such as a predefined terpene formulation, for consumer and industrial use.

 

  Given that certain classes of gAPI’s such hemp derived CBD and terpenes might offer “relief” without the “high” THC provides, MyDx intends to partner with leaders in the industry to offer branded products without THC, akin to a “virgin” cocktail, if it finds that these formulations offer the benefits desired and the legal framework to sell them is viable.

 

4. SaaS (Software as a Service)

 

Software services for prescribers, patient groups, cultivators, and regulators

 

  1) MyDx App

 

  Available in iOS and Android and controls the MyDx Analyzer
  Tracks patient tested samples and physiological feedback
  Prints a Certificate of Analysis, which includes patient feedback
  Offers patients groups and their doctors with OEM software to track what the community is experiencing
  Centrally hosted in our secure cloud based server
  Will offer in App purchases for additional software subscription features

 

2)MYDX360

 

  MyDx360 is a Software As A Service (SAAS)-based community engagement platform designed to help entrepreneurs develop, launch and track the effects of new formulated products on consumers to help penetrate their target markets more effectively.
  As part of the service, companies will choose from among MyDx’s many chemical formulations that best align with the physiological response its target demographic is seeking. From there, MyDx will outsource the delivery of those formulations through licensed concentrate manufacturing facilities and provide customer-engagement support via its SAAS platform and MyDx smart devices such as the EcoSmartPen to acquire and analyze user feedback.
  Collectively, this suite of services will be called MyDx360.

 

  2) Software to Support Laboratory Marketing, Customer Service and Data Aggregation

 

  MyDx will offer what we believe will be the premier lead generator and outsourced services provider for cannabis testing labs
  Through certain assets MyDx expects to develop or acquire, as well as leads generated from our handheld analysis and smart devices, we believe MyDx will be positioned to become a world leader in cannabis laboratory marketing and services and as the largest “data holder” of tested cannabis and the associated chemical profiles tied to the ailment therapy.

Product Overview: MyDx

 

Our core technology is centered on a portable chemical sensing and analyzing method, represented by our first product, MyDx. MyDx is a portable chemical hand-held analyzer, combined with a sensor and associated mobile app, which together, act as an electronic nose by detecting and analyzing molecules present in a given sample. MyDx aims to complement chemical analysis in the lab by putting it into the palm of the user’s hand.

 

Each MyDx sensor has sensitivity that can reach parts per billion, which the Company believes is unique for a handheld chemical analyzer at our consumer price-point for MyDx. The MyDx device has a user-friendly interface and is designed to easily communicate via Bluetooth with our mobile app, which can be downloaded on any iOS, Android, or Windows smartphone. Given the sensitivity of the MyDx device, once the app is downloaded and the device is synced, a small sample can be placed in the sample chamber, which is then stimulated, releasing the chemicals of interest into a vapor for identification by the MyDx Analyzer. The process of analysis takes about three minutes, after which the user will be able to view the interpreted chemical composition of the sample on his or her mobile smart phone via our mobile app. In addition, the app will track and save the results of each analysis for future reference and comparison, and will aggregate reports on and analyses of various chemical compounds to help educate the consumer about the results. MyDx sensors can be switched by the user based on the type of the sample being tested, and the user will simply launch the associated app from their smartphone. The Company believes that, based on its portability, MyDx is the first portable multi-use chemical sensing and analyzing technology available for use by a broad range of consumers, especially in our target market applications.

 

Product Features/MyDx Service

 

The MyDx Analyzer comes with a variety of product features that is intended to provide consumers with a user-friendly experience. The Company has developed what we believe is a sleek and durable unit that, paired with one of our four sensors, has capabilities to analyze a variety of chemical compounds in the palm of the user’s hand. The MyDx Service connects the MyDx Analyzer to the MyDx App using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) connection. The MyDx App communicates with the secure MyDx Cloud via the Internet. 

 

The MyDx Analyzer comes with Bluetooth connectivity in order to engage the MyDx App, which provides the user with additional information to help them understand the chemicals found by the MyDx Analyzer. The MyDx Cloud compares what was sensed by the MyDx Analyzer with scientific data about that sample on the back-end, revealing cannabinoid and terpene levels found in the sample for the CannaDx application for example.

The MyDx App 

 

The MyDx App is available for iPhone and Android platforms. Once the MyDx App is installed on the consumer’s mobile device, the consumer can turn on the MyDx Analyzer using the small button on the side next to the power cable slot. Using the MyDx App, the consumer can initiate the testing process. The MyDx App then attempts to find and sync with the MyDx Analyzer via a wireless Bluetooth connection. The consumer can then load their sample into the Sample Chamber. They will take an empty disposable Sample Insert and place their sample into the Sample Insert. This is done by gently grinding the sample between their fingers and letting the contents fall into the chamber. They fill the sample up to just below the rim of the insert. Once the sample is loaded and the chamber is closed, they follow the onscreen instructions and click “Next”. The MyDx Analyzer is placed on a flat surface, and the consumer presses the “Start” button. Within approximately three minutes later the results are available. 

 

Target Audiences 

 

The Company believes the CannaDx sensor may have broad appeal to individuals who use medicinal cannabis for their health. In many cases, the chemical compounds consumers need to know about are not correctly identified at the point-of-sale, and the consumers may not be aware of how a strain will affect them. Using the CannaDx sensor, consumers will be able to identify certain chemical compounds in different strains of cannabis that are associated with the desired response to its use. This makes MyDx an important tool for both cannabis patients and recreational users who want to understand the product they are consuming, how it affects their body and allows them to track how certain chemical profiles are treating any symptoms they may have.  

 

In addition to the consumer audience for our CannaDx sensor, we expect businesses in the cannabis industry, including cultivators, processors, dispensaries, and retail distributors to use MyDx as an additional test for their own products or the products that they are buying for resale to consumers. However, MyDx is not a replacement for commercial lab testing using standard gas chromatography and other lab equipment. 

 

Distribution and Marketing Strategy 

 

The Company distributes its products through various channels, including e-commerce via the Company’s website, direct to retail, amazon.com, and sales through affiliate partners. The company also intends to expand into retail distribution. As part of our marketing strategy, the Company also works with bloggers, websites and social media channels with large audiences, to ensure that the potential market knows and understands the promise of the MyDx Analyzer. The Company plans to use industry conferences, media outreach, and social media channels such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Google+ and more to push its message to the right audiences. Public relations efforts through Tier 1 news media interviews and conference speaking engagements has been a critical cost effective source of marketing for the company to date.  

 

Competition

 

Chemical Analysis Smart Devices

 

Currently, the Company believes there are no portable, consumer-focused, reasonably-priced chemical analysis platforms on the market that compete directly with MyDx in the cannabis sector. The Company is aware of two hand-held analyzer devices in development which are being marketed to consumers. One is Scio, which plans to use spectrometer technology to externally scan food, medicine and plants. The other one is FOOD sniffer, which is being marketed as the world’s first electronic nose that helps consumers determine the quality of meat, poultry and fish before they eat it, thereby reducing the risk of food poisoning by testing food to confirm that it is safe to consume. In addition, larger gas chromatography units that range from $25,000 to well over $100,000, are available, but we believe these larger units ultimately will not compete for the consumer base to which that the Company plans to market MyDx.

 

In contrast, the Company has brought to market a consumer-focused, chemically sensitive device for under $700. The Company believes that the combination of a relatively low price point, chemical sensitivity, and patentable intellectual property provide barriers to competition. However, companies with far greater resources than the Company could develop competing technologies and products that could impact the market for the Company’s products.

 

Currently, the Company is not aware of any competitors that have crowdsourced cannabis TCP data based on a tested chemical profile in real time.

Research and Development

 

The Company incurred research and development expenses of approximately $170,000 and $686,000 during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 related to the development of the MyDx Analyzer and the sensors. 

  

Manufacturing  

 

We do not intend to manufacture our products in our own facilities. Rather, we intend to outsource the manufacture of our products to one or more independent manufacturers that also manufacture electronic products for a number of other businesses. The manufacturer will be expected to test our products and conduct quality control in all aspects of manufacturing. During this testing, we expect to be making further adjustments to our formulations. While we believe that we may be able to contract or engage a manufacturer to perform these functions, we may not be able to do so.

 

We currently have an arrangement with All Quality & Services, Inc. a Silicon Valley based Electronics Manufacturing Services provider to manufacture and assemble our current MyDx analyzer.

On July 2, 2014, the Company filed assignments of all right, title and interest for four United States provisional patent applications that were recorded with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on July 3, 2014. The United States provisional patent applications assigned to the Company were acquired for consideration that included cash and stock. The Company filed an international patent application with an international filing date of July 14, 2014 that cites priority to the four United States provisional patent applications. The international patent application is currently pending with a U.S. National Stage Filing App Ser. No: 14/905,780 entitled Apparatus for Detection and Delivery of Volatilized Compounds and Related Methods filed on January 15, 2016.

 

The term of individual patents depends upon the legal term of the patents in the countries in which they are obtained. In most countries in which we file, the patent term is 20 years from the earliest date of filing a Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) application or a non-provisional patent application, subject to any disclaimers or extensions. The term of a patent in the United States can be adjusted and extended due to the failure of the United States Patent and Trademark Office following certain statutory and regulation deadlines for issuing a patent.

 

Although we believe that our portfolio of intellectual property rights provides us with a strong and defensible market position from which to commercialize our portable electronic nose and analyzing technology and to build our business by expanding our core technology across a variety of applications, there is no guarantee the patents or patent rights we own will be sufficient to adequately protect the technology owned or licensed by us. We strive to protect the proprietary technologies that we believe are important to our business, including seeking and maintaining patent protection intended to cover the device products, their methods of use, related technology and other inventions that are important to our business. We also rely on trade secrets and monitoring of our proprietary information to protect aspects of our business that are not amenable to, or that we do not consider appropriate for, patent protection.

 

Government Regulations

 

Our products require CE Marking (European Conformity), Federal Communications Commission and other government safety approvals. We are working with various partners to secure all approvals. Inasmuch as we are a sensor technology company, except with respect to government regulations related to the cannabis industry described in more detail below, we do not foresee any other probable government regulations on our business outside of normal business practices.

 

With respect to our CannaDx sensor, there is a substantial amount of change occurring in the United States regarding both the medical and recreational use of cannabis, and a number of individual states have enacted state laws to enable distribution, possession, and use of cannabis for medical, and in some cases, recreational purposes. Despite the development of a legal medical or recreational cannabis industry under certain state laws, cannabis use and possession remains illegal under federal law, and such state laws are in conflict with the Federal Controlled Substances Act. The Obama Administration had effectively stated that it was not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute individuals lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing for use and distribution of medical and recreational cannabis. However, there is no guarantee that the Trump Administration will not change the previous Administration’s stated policy regarding enforcement of federal laws in states where cannabis has been legalized. Also, the possession, use, cultivation, or transfer of cannabis remains illegal under the Federal Controlled Substances Act. Our CannaDx sensor may be sold to customers that are engaged in the business of possession, use, cultivation, or transfer of cannabis. As a result, law enforcement authorities regulating the illegal use of cannabis may seek to bring an action or actions against us, including, but not limited, to a claim of aiding and abetting another’s criminal activities. The federal aiding and abetting statute provides that anyone who “commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.” 18 U.S.C. §2(a).

Subsidiary

 

We have one wholly -owned subsidiary, CDx, Inc., a Delaware Corporation which was incorporated on September 16, 2013. 

 

Employees

 

As of April 11, 2018, we had 1 full-time officer, 1 part-time officer, 1 full-time employee and 5 independent contractors and consultants. For the immediate future, we intend to use independent contractors and consultants to assist in many aspects of our business on an as needed basis pending financial resources being available. Even if we receive sufficient funding to hire additional employees, we may rely principally on independent contractors for substantially all of our technical and manufacturing needs.

 

We have one written employment agreement with Mr. Yazbeck. Currently, we are actively seeking additional employees or engaging any consultants through a formal written agreement or contract. Services are provided on an as-needed basis. This may change in the event that we are able to secure financing through equity or loans to the Company.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our Common Stock involves risk. Before making an investment in our Common Stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information included in this Annual Report and all other reports the Registrant has filed with the SEC and the risks we have highlighted in other sections of this Annual Report. The risks described below are those which we believe are the material risks we face. Any of the risks described below could significantly and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. As a result, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and you may lose part or all of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or not currently believed by us to be immaterial may also impact us. The risks discussed below include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

We have a limited operating history and a history of operating losses, and we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability. In addition, we may be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

MyDx was incorporated in December 2012 and has a limited operating history. We had not generated any revenues until July 2015. We are not profitable and have incurred losses since our inception. We continue to incur research and development and general and administrative expenses related to our operations.

 

We have experienced significant losses to date and may require additional capital to fund our operations. The current financial climate may make it more difficult to secure financing, if we need it. If our business model is not successful, or if we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to offset our expenditures, we may not become profitable, and the value of your investment may decline.

 

We incurred a net loss of approximately $5,234,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and a cumulative net loss of approximately $31,633,000, from September 16, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2017.

 

We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and these losses will likely increase as we continue to commercialize our products. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. If our products do not achieve market acceptance, we may never become profitable. The initial cost of completing development of our products and penetrating our anticipated markets will be substantial, and there is no assurance that we will be successful in doing so. Although we shipped our first revenue units in the third quarter of 2015, if we are not successful in growing revenues and controlling costs, we will not achieve profitable operations or positive cash flow, and even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Absent of a significant increase in revenue or additional equity or debt financing, we may not be able to sustain our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 10 

 

 

Furthermore, we are experiencing the costs and uncertainties of a young operating company, including unforeseen costs and difficulties. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in meeting these challenges and addressing these risks and uncertainties. If we are unable to do so, our business will not be successful.

 

Negative Operating Cash Flow

 

We reported negative cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. It is anticipated that we will continue to report negative operating cash flow in future periods until we are able to increase our product sales volumes.

 

We believe our cash balance, together with anticipated cash flows from operations, is insufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. We project that additional funding in the amount of $2,000,000 will be required to fund our operations for the next 12 months. Additionally, if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to pay our expenses, we will need to raise additional funds to continue our operations. We have historically financed our operations through private equity and debt financings. The delays in our ability to ship products and generate revenues may have adversely affected our capital raising opportunities. We do not have any commitments for financing at this time, and financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain debt or equity financing in amounts sufficient to fund our operations, if necessary, we will be forced to suspend or curtail our operations.

 

Changes in accounting guidance could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, as reported in our financial statements.

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, which is periodically revised and/or expanded.  Accordingly, from time to time we are required to adopt new or revised accounting guidance and related interpretations issued by recognized authoritative bodies, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC. Market conditions have prompted these organizations to issue new guidance that further interprets or seeks to revise accounting pronouncements related to various transactions as well as to issue new guidance expanding disclosures.  The impact of accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet implemented is disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.  An assessment of proposed standards is not provided, as such proposals are subject to change through the exposure process and, therefore, their effects on our financial statements cannot be meaningfully assessed.  It is possible that future accounting guidance we are required to adopt could change the current accounting treatment that we apply to our consolidated financial statements and that such changes could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, as reported in our consolidated financial statements.

 

We are an early-stage company, and as such, we have no meaningful operating or financial history, we have a limited amount of products in the marketplace.

 

CDx commenced operations in January 2014. Therefore, there is limited historical financial information upon which to base an evaluation of our performance and future prospects. Due to our lack of operating history, our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early-stage of operations, including, without limitation, the following:

 

absence of an operating history;
a limited amount of products in the marketplace;
insufficient capital;
expected continual losses for the foreseeable future;
no history on which to evaluate our ability to anticipate and adapt to a developing market;
uncertainty as to market acceptance of our initial and future products;
limited marketing experience and lack of sales organization; and
competitive and highly regulated environment.

 

 11 

 

 

Because we are subject to these risks, potential investors may have a difficult time evaluating our business and their investment in our Company. We may be unable to successfully overcome these risks, any of which could irreparably harm our business.

 

The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with a new enterprise, the commercial launch of a new product which still requires testing, and the operation in a competitive industry. We expect to sustain losses in the future as we implement our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably.

 

We will require substantial additional funding, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

  

Our cash balance as of December 31, 2017 was approximately $119,000. We do not have adequate funds to fully develop our business, and we need other capital investment to fully implement our business plans. Our current estimate of additional funds required for the next year is $2,000,000. We do not have any contracts or commitments for additional funding, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our development plans. In that event, current stockholders would likely experience a loss of most or all of their investment. Additional funding that we do obtain may be dilutive to the interests of existing stockholders.

 

While in 2017 we satisfied over $800,000 in convertible debt used to finance the Company’s critical obligations in 2016 and 2017, this same convertible debt used to finance our operations has resulted in heavy dilution and a sharp decline in share price.  The Company expects to continue to experience dilution in the near future.

 

We are dependent on our current management team. If we fail to attract and retain key management personnel, we may be unable to successfully develop or commercialize our products.

 

In the early stages of development, our business will be significantly dependent on our management team. Our success will be particularly dependent upon Mr. Yazbeck. The loss of his services could have a material adverse effect on us. We have not obtained key-man insurance on the life of Mr. Yazbeck. Moreover, in order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon, among other things, successfully recruiting qualified sales and marketing and management personnel. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel to join the Company on acceptable terms.

 

We may not be able to attract or retain qualified management and research personnel in the future due to the intense competition for qualified personnel in our industry. If we are not able to attract and retain the necessary personnel to accomplish our business objectives, we may experience constraints that will impede significantly the achievement of our research and development objectives, our ability to raise additional capital and our ability to implement our business strategy. In particular, if we lose Mr. Yazbeck, we may not be able to find a suitable replacement in a timely fashion or at all, and our business may be harmed as a result.

 

We have experienced recent management and director changes.

 

On July 10, 2015, at the request of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and as part of management reorganization, Mr. Yazbeck resigned his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Company’s subsidiary, CDx, Inc. As part of the reorganization, Thomas Gruber was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and CDx, Inc. On August 4, 2015, the Company terminated its President, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Marketing Officer. On August 6, 2015, Thomas Gruber resigned as the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and a director of the Company and CDx. Mr. Gruber continued as the Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company and CDx. On August 6, 2015, Mr. Yazbeck was appointed as the Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company and CDx. On September 1, 2015, Mr. Gruber resigned as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company and CDx. On September 9, 2015, Mr. Yazbeck resigned as the Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company and CDx and Albert Hugo-Martinez was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company and CDx. On September 23, 2015, Mr. Hugo-Martinez resigned as the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company and CDx. On September 24, 2015 Michael Harris resigned from the Board, and on September 29, 2015 Edward Roffman resigned from the Board. On September 29, 2015, Mr. Yazbeck was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and CDx. On February 23, 2016, Federico Pier and George Jackoboice resigned from the Board and CDx. On February 26, 2016, Steven Katz resigned from the Board and CDx.

These changes have been disruptive to the management and operations of the company and could have an adverse effects on our business, operating results and financial conditions.

 

Our sole executive officer, director and insider stockholder beneficially owns or controls a majority of our outstanding voting stock, which may limit your ability and the ability of our other stockholders, whether acting alone or together, to propose or direct the management or overall direction of our Company.

 

On December 23, 2016, the Board designated 51 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”). Among other provisions, each one (1) share of the Series A Preferred shall have voting rights equal to (x) 0.019607 multiplied by the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote (the “Numerator”), divided by (y) 0.49, minus (z) the Numerator. For purposes of illustration only, if the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote is 5,000,000, the voting rights of one share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be equal to 102,036 (0.019607 x 5,000,000) / 0.49) – (0.019607 x 5,000,000) = 102,036). On December 23, the 51 shares were issued to Mr. Yazbeck, the Company’s sole officer and the sole member of the Board. Mr. Yazbeck, via his ownership of the 51 shares of the Series A Preferred, has control of the majority of the Company’s voting stock.

 

On December 23, 2016, the Company designated 300,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”). The Series B Preferred is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.0001. Holders of the Series B Preferred are entitled to receive dividends annually equal to $0.10 for each share of Series B Preferred held. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series B Preferred then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock. Until such time as there are fewer than 20,000 shares of Series B Preferred outstanding, the Company needs to obtain the majority votes of the holders of Series B Preferred with regard to certain actions. Holders of Series B Preferred shares are entitled to one vote for each share held, are entitled to elect up to two members to the Board, and, absent such election, are provided certain voting and veto rights with regard to any vote by the Board. On January 6, the 300,000 shares of the Series B Preferred were issued to Mr. Yazbeck. On June 30, 2017, Mr. Yazbeck sold 100,000 shares of Series B Preferred for net proceeds of $45,000. Mr. Yazbeck then lent the $45,000 to the Company. 

 

Accordingly, Mr. Yazbeck has the power to control the election of members of the Board and the approval of actions for which the approval of our stockholders is required, including amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), mergers or other business combinations. If you acquire shares of Common Stock, you may have no effective voice in the management of our Company. Such concentrated control of our Company may adversely affect the price of our Common Stock. Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our Common Stock in the event we merge with a third party or enter into different transactions which require stockholder approval. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock. Additionally, this concentration of ownership could discourage or prevent a potential takeover of our Company that might otherwise result in an investor receiving a premium over the market price for his or her shares.

 

Additionally, Mr. Yazbeck may take action that could be a conflict of interest and not in the best interest of all stockholders. Such actions could adversely affect the price of our stock and discourage new stockholders from purchasing shares of our stock.

 

We have no Independent Board Members and only one person sitting on the Board.

 

Currently, the Company has only one Board member, Mr. Yazbeck, who is our sole officer and is thus not independent. Mr. Yazbeck beneficially owns or controls a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Therefore, the Company does not receive the benefit of independent oversight over actions being taken. Without independent oversight, actions may be taken that may not be in the best interest of all stockholders which could adversely affect the price of our stock and discourage new stockholders from purchasing our stock.

 

 13 

 

 

These changes have been disruptive to the management and operations of the Company and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

Initially we will be dependent on one product.

  

Our Aero, Aqua and Organa Sensors will not be commercialized until 2019. Therefore, the CannaDx sensor will account for a substantial portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. As a result, our future operating results are dependent upon market acceptance of those products, neither of which has been commercially launched as of the date hereof. Factors adversely affecting the pricing of, demand for, or market acceptance of the sensors, such as regulatory complications, competition, or technological change, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

One of our initial products, the CannaDx sensor, relates to cannabis, which is a controlled substance under federal law.

 

Despite the development of a legal medical or recreational cannabis industry under certain state laws, cannabis use and possession remains illegal under federal law, and such state laws are in conflict with the Federal Controlled Substances Act. Since our initial product, the CannaDx sensor, relates to the use of cannabis, it may generate public controversy and be the subject of federal regulation or other action. Political and social pressures and negative publicity could limit or restrict the introduction and marketing of our initial or future product candidates. Adverse publicity from cannabis misuse, adverse side effects from cannabis or other cannabinoid products may harm the commercial success or market penetration achievable by our CannaDx sensor. The nature of our CannaDx sensor product attracts a high level of public and media interest, and in the event of any resultant negative publicity, our reputation may be harmed.

 

Laws and regulations affecting the cannabis industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our business, and we cannot predict the impact that future legislation or changes in enforcement practices may have on our company.

  

There is a substantial amount of change occurring in the United States regarding both the medical and recreational use of cannabis, and a number of individual states have enacted state laws to enable distribution, possession, and use of cannabis for medical, and in some cases, recreational purposes. The Obama Administration had effectively stated that it was not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute individuals lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing for use and distribution of medical and recreational cannabis. However, there is no guarantee that the Trump Administration will not change the previous Administration’s stated policy regarding enforcement of federal laws in states where cannabis has been legalized.

 

Future active enforcement of the current federal regulatory position on cannabis on a regional or national basis may directly and adversely affect the willingness of customers to invest in or buy our CannaDx sensor, which is used in connection with cannabis. In addition, federal or state legislation could be enacted in the future that could prohibit customers of our CannaDx sensor from distributing, possessing, or using cannabis. If such legislation were enacted, customers may discontinue use of our CannaDx sensor, our potential source of customers would be reduced, and our revenues may decline. Violation of any federal or state law, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability, and financial condition.

 

As the possession and use of cannabis is illegal under the Federal Controlled Substances Act, we may be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities through the services that we provide to users, and as such may be subject to enforcement actions which could materially and adversely affect our business

  

The possession, use, cultivation, or transfer of cannabis remains illegal under the Federal Controlled Substances Act. Our CannaDx sensor may be sold to customers that are engaged in the business of possession, use, cultivation, or transfer of cannabis. As a result, law enforcement authorities regulating the illegal use of cannabis may seek to bring an action or actions against us, including, but not limited, to a claim of aiding and abetting another’s criminal activities. The federal aiding and abetting statute provides that anyone who “commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.” 18 U.S.C. §2(a). As a result of such an action, we may be forced to cease operations and our investors could lose their entire investment. Such an action would have a material negative effect on our business and operations.

Due to the use of our first product, the CannaDx sensor, in the cannabis industry, we may have a difficult time obtaining the various insurances that are desired to operate our business, which may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities.

 

Insurance that is generally readily available, such as workers compensation, general liability, and directors and officers insurance, may be more difficult for us to find, and more expensive, because our CannaDx sensor provides a service to companies and customers in the cannabis industry. There are no guarantees that we will be able to secure such insurances in the future, or that the cost will be affordable to us. If we are forced to go without such insurances, we may be prevented from entering into certain business sectors, our growth may be inhibited, and we may be exposed to additional risks and financial liabilities.

 

We expect to derive revenue from sales of our MyDx units and other products we may develop. If we fail to generate revenue from these sources, our results of operations and the value of our business will be materially and adversely affected.

 

We expect our revenue to be generated from our MyDx units and other products we may develop. Future sales of these products, if any, will be subject to, among other things, possible receipt of governmental approvals and commercial and market uncertainties that may be outside of our control. If we fail to generate our intended revenues from these products, our results of operations and the value of our business and securities would be materially affected.

 

We may not be able to compete effectively against products introduced into our market space.

 

The industry surrounding handheld consumer analyzers is rapidly evolving, and the market landscape is currently uncertain. However, we expect that as consumers begin to learn and adapt to having handheld analyzer capability, products that will compete with our offerings will rapidly proliferate. These competitive products could have similar applications, perhaps using superior technology, and may provide additional benefits that our sensors do not. We expect that the market could be occupied by larger competitors with greater financial and other resources, which could hinder our market share. We may be forced to modify or alter our business and regulatory strategy, as well as our sales and marketing plans, in response to, among other things, changes in the market, competition, and technological limitations. Such modifications may pose additional delays in achieving our goals.

 

We rely on third parties to manufacture and supply all of our initial products.

 

Our initial products are manufactured by third parties. If these manufacturing partners are unable to produce our products or component parts in the amounts or on the timeline that we require, the development and initial commercialization of our products may be delayed, depriving us of potential product revenue and resulting in other losses. Our ability to replace any then-existing manufacturer may be difficult because the number of potential manufacturers is limited. It may be difficult or impossible for us to identify and engage a replacement manufacturer on acceptable terms in a timely manner, or at all. If we need to engage a replacement manufacturer but are unable to do so, our business and results of operations could be severely impacted.

 

We depend on third-party suppliers for materials and components for our products.

  

We depend on a limited number of third-party suppliers for the materials and components required to manufacture our products. A delay or interruption by our suppliers may harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and could also adversely affect our future profit margins. In addition, the lead time needed to establish a relationship with a new supplier can be lengthy, and we may experience delays in meeting demand in the event we must change or add new suppliers. Our dependence on our suppliers exposes us to numerous risks, including but not limited to the following: our suppliers may cease or reduce production or deliveries, raise prices, or renegotiate terms; we may be unable to locate a suitable replacement supplier on acceptable terms or on a timely basis, or at all; and delays caused by supply issues may harm our reputation, frustrate our customers, and cause them to turn to our competitors for future needs.

 

 15 

 

 

We may be subject to product liability claims, and may not have sufficient product liability insurance to cover any such claims, which may expose us to substantial liabilities.

 

We may be exposed to product liability claims from consumers of our products. It is possible that any product liability insurance coverage we obtain will be insufficient to protect us from future claims. Further, we may not be able to obtain or maintain insurance on acceptable terms or such insurance may be insufficient to cover any potential product liability claim or recall. Failure to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, and results of operations if claims are made that exceed our coverage.

 

From time to time we may need to license patents, intellectual property, and proprietary technologies from third parties, which may be difficult or expensive to obtain.

 

We may need to obtain licenses to patents and other proprietary rights held by third parties to successfully develop, manufacture and market our products. As an example, it may be necessary to use a third party’s proprietary technology to reformulate a product in order to create a new type of sensor in response to market demand, or to improve the abilities of our current sensors. If we are unable to timely obtain these licenses on reasonable terms, our ability to commercially exploit our products may be inhibited or prevented.

 

If we are unable to adequately protect our technology or enforce our intellectual property rights, our business could suffer.

 

Our success with the products we will develop will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for these products. The coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly reduced before the patent is issued, and the patent’s scope can be modified after issuance. Furthermore, if patent applications that we file or license are not approved or, if approved, are not upheld in a court of law, our ability to competitively exploit our products would be substantially harmed. Additionally, such patents may or may not provide competitive advantages for their respective products or they may be challenged or circumvented by our competitors, in which case our ability to commercially exploit any related products may be diminished.

  

We also will rely on trade secret and contractual protections for our unpatented, confidential, and proprietary technology. Trade secrets are difficult to protect. While we will enter into proprietary information agreements with certain of our employees, consultants, and others, these agreements may not successfully protect our trade secrets or other confidential and proprietary information. It is possible that these agreements will be breached, or that they will not be enforceable in every instance, and that we will not have adequate remedies in the case of any such breach. It is also possible that our trade secrets will become known or independently developed by our competitors. If we are unable to adequately protect our technology, trade secrets, or proprietary know-how, or enforce our patents, our business, financial condition, and prospects could suffer.

 

In addition to patents, we expect to rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions and technical security measures to protect our intellectual property rights. These measures may not be adequate to safeguard our technology. If they do not protect our rights adequately, third parties could use our technology, and our ability to compete in the market would be reduced. Although we are attempting to obtain patent coverage for our technology where available and where we believe appropriate, there are aspects of the technology for which patent coverage may never be sought or received. We may not possess the resources to or may not choose to pursue patent protection outside the United States or any or every country other than the United States where we may eventually decide to sell our future products. Our ability to prevent others from making or selling duplicate or similar technologies will be impaired in those countries in which we have no patent protection. Although we have in excess of 30 licensed issued patents as well as pending patent applications on file in the United States protecting aspects of our technology under development, our patents may not issue as a result of those applications drawing priority or otherwise based on those patent applications, may issue only with limited coverage or may issue and be subsequently successfully challenged by others and held invalid or unenforceable.

 

 16 

 

 

Similarly, even if patents do issue based on our applications or future applications, any issued patents may not provide us with any competitive advantages. Competitors may be able to design around our patents or develop products that provide outcomes comparable or superior to ours. Our patents may be held invalid or unenforceable as a result of legal challenges by third parties, and others may challenge the inventorship or ownership of our patents and pending patent applications. In addition, if we choose to and are able to secure protection in countries outside the United States, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. In the event a competitor infringes upon our patent or other intellectual property rights, enforcing those rights may be difficult and time consuming. Even if successful, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against challenge could be expensive and time consuming and could divert our management’s attention. We may not have sufficient resources to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against a challenge.

 

Our strategy is to deploy our technology into the market, license patent and other proprietary rights to aspects of our technology to third parties and customers. Disputes with our licensors may arise regarding the scope and content of these licenses. Further, our ability to expand into additional fields with our technologies may be restricted by existing licenses or licenses we may grant to third parties in the future.

 

The policies we use to protect our trade secrets may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of our trade secrets by others. In addition, confidentiality agreements executed by our employees, consultants and advisors may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure. Litigating a trade secret claim is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge methods and know-how. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be unable to prevent competitors from using our own inventions and intellectual property to compete against us, and our business may be harmed.

 

We may be subject to patent infringement or other intellectual property lawsuits that could be costly to defend.

 

Because our industry is characterized by competing intellectual property, we may become involved in litigation based on claims that we have violated the intellectual property rights of others. Determining whether a product infringes a patent involves complex legal and factual issues, and the outcome of patent litigation actions is often uncertain. No assurance can be given that third party patents containing claims covering our products, parts of our products, technology or methods do not exist, have not been filed, or could not be filed or issued. Because of the number of patents issued and patent applications filed in our technical areas or fields (including some pertaining specifically to wireless charging technologies), our competitors or other third parties may assert that our products and technology and the methods we employ in the use of our products and technology are covered by United States or foreign patents held by them. In addition, because patent applications can take many years to issue and because publication schedules for pending applications vary by jurisdiction, there may be applications now pending which may result in issued patents that our technology under development or other future products would infringe. Also, because the claims of published patent applications can change between publication and patent grant, there may be published patent applications that may ultimately issue with claims that we infringe. There could also be existing patents that one or more of our technologies, products or parts may infringe and of which we are unaware. As the number of competitors in the market for wire-free power and alternative recharging solutions increases, and as the number of patents issued in this area grows, the possibility of patent infringement claims against us increases. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations.

 

Intellectual property litigation is increasingly common and increasingly expensive, and may result in restrictions on our business and substantial costs, even if we prevail.

 

Patent and other intellectual property litigation is becoming more common, and such litigation may be necessary to defend against or assert claims of infringement, to protect trade secrets, to determine the scope and validity of proprietary rights of third parties, or to enforce our patent rights, including those we may license from others. Currently, no third party is asserting that we are infringing upon their patent or other intellectual property rights, nor are we aware or believe that we are infringing or will infringe upon any third party’s patent or other intellectual property rights. We may, however, currently be infringing or infringe in the future upon a third party’s patent or other intellectual property rights. In that event, litigation asserting such claims might be initiated in which we may not prevail, or may not be able to obtain the necessary licenses on reasonable terms, if at all. All such litigation, whether meritorious or not, as well as litigation initiated by us against third parties, is time-consuming and very expensive to defend or prosecute and to resolve. In addition, if we infringe the intellectual property rights of others, we could lose our right to develop, manufacture, or sell our products or could be required to pay monetary damages or royalties to license proprietary rights from third parties. An adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or a failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent us from manufacturing or selling our products, which could harm our business, financial condition, and prospects.

 

 17 

 

 

If our competitors prepare and file patent applications in the United States that claim technology we also claim, we may have to participate in interference or derivation proceedings required by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to determine priority of invention, which could result in substantial costs, even if we ultimately prevail. Results of these proceedings are highly unpredictable and may result in us having to try to obtain licenses in order to continue to develop or market our product candidate.

  

If our competitors file administrative challenges of our patent applications after grant, we may have to participate in post-grant challenge proceedings, such as oppositions, inter-partes review, post grant review or a derivation proceeding, that challenge our entitlement to an invention or the patentability of one or more claims in our patent applications or issued patents. Such proceedings could result in substantial costs, even if we ultimately prevail. Results of these proceedings are highly unpredictable and may result in us losing proprietary intellectual property rights as claimed in the challenged patents.

 

We may encounter unanticipated obstacles to execution of our business plan which may cause us to change or abandon our current business plan.

 

Our business plan may change significantly based on our encountering unanticipated obstacles. Many of our potential business endeavors are capital intensive, and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements and other factors that we cannot control, and which could be detrimental to our business plan. We believe that our chosen undertakings and strategies make our plans achievable in light of current economic and legal conditions and with the skills, background, and knowledge of our management team and advisors. We reserve the right to make significant modifications to our stated strategies depending on future events.

 

We depend on contract manufacturers to manufacture substantially all of our products, and any delay or interruption in manufacturing by these contract manufacturers would result in delayed or reduced shipments to our customers and may harm our business.

 

We have various manufacturers for the components of our products, including Next Dimension Technologies, Inc. We do not have long-term purchase agreements with our contract manufacturers and we depend on a concentrated group of contract manufacturers for a substantial portion of manufacturing our products. There can be no assurance that our contract manufacturers will be able or willing to reliably manufacture our products, in volumes, on a cost-effective basis or in a timely manner. If we cannot compete effectively for the business of these contract manufacturers, or if any of the contract manufacturers experience financial or other difficulties in their businesses, our revenue and our business could be adversely affected. In particular, if Next Dimension Technologies decides to cease doing business with us or becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings, we may not be able to obtain the sensors for our products, which could be detrimental to our business.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

There is currently a limited public trading market for our Common Stock and one may never develop.

  

There currently is a limited public trading market for our securities, and it is not assured that any such public market will develop in the foreseeable future. While this is true of any small cap company, the fact that one of our initial products is a device that will be associated with the use of cannabis, the legal status of which has not been completely resolved at the state level in many states or on the federal level, may make the path to a listing on an exchange or actively traded in the over-the-counter market more problematic. Moreover, there can be no assurance that even if our Common Stock is approved for listing on an exchange or is quoted in the over-the-counter market in the future, that an active trading market will develop or be sustained. Therefore, we cannot predict the prices at which our Common Stock will trade in the future, if at all. As a result, our investors may have limited or no ability to liquidate their investments.

 

 18 

 

 

Trading in the Common Stock is conducted on the OTC Pink marketplace owned by OTC Markets Group Inc., as we currently do not meet the initial listing criteria for any registered securities exchange.  The OTC Pink is a less recognized marketplace than the registered securities exchanges and is often characterized by low trading volume and significant price fluctuations.  These and other factors may further impair our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares when they want to and/or could depress our stock price. As a result, stockholders could find it difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations of the price of our securities because smaller quantities of shares could be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed and security analyst and news coverage of our Company may be limited.  If a public market for our Common Stock does develop, these factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our shares of Common Stock.

 

The market price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile and such volatility could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

 

The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:

 

the announcement of new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors;
developments concerning intellectual property rights;
changes in legal, regulatory, and enforcement frameworks impacting our products;
variations in our and our competitors’ results of operations;
fluctuations in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, if our Common Stock is covered by analysts;
the results of product liability or intellectual property lawsuits;
future issuances of Common Stock or other securities;
the addition or departure of key personnel;
announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances; and
general market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance.

  

Further, the stock market has recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. The volatility of our Common Stock could be further exacerbated due to low trading volume. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our Common Stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our Common Stock and the loss of some or all of our investors’ investment.

 

Some or all of the “restricted” shares of our Common Stock held by our stockholders, may be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated thereunder, and these sales may have a depressive effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

A significant numbers of shares of our Common Stock held by our officer and director and our employees may become tradable in the near future based on meeting the restrictions pursuant to Rule 144. Such future transactions may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

 19 

 

  

Because our Common Stock is a “penny stock,” it may be more difficult for investors to sell shares of our Common Stock, and the market price of our Common Stock may be adversely affected.

 

Our Common Stock is a “penny stock” because, among other things, the stock price is below $5.00 per share, it is not listed on a national securities exchange, and the Company has not met certain net tangible asset or average revenue requirements. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks must provide purchasers of these stocks with a standardized risk-disclosure document prepared by the SEC. This risk-disclosure document provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks involved in investing in the penny-stock market. A broker must also give a purchaser, orally or in writing, bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation, make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and obtain the purchaser’s written agreement to the purchase. Broker-dealers must also provide customers that hold penny stock in their accounts with such broker-dealer a monthly statement containing price and market information relating to the penny stock. If a penny stock is sold to an investor in violation of the penny stock rules, the investor may be able to cancel its purchase and get their money back.

 

The penny stock rules may make it difficult for stockholders to sell their shares of our Common Stock. Because of the rules and restrictions applicable to a penny stock, there is less trading in penny stocks and the market price of our Common Stock may be adversely affected. Also, many brokers choose not to participate in penny stock transactions. Accordingly, stockholders may not always be able to resell their shares of our Common Stock publicly at times and prices that they feel are appropriate.

 

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our common shares.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a client, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that client. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional clients, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the client’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some clients. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their clients buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

We may be the subject of securities class action litigation due to future stock price volatility.

 

In the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have often instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. The lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management.

 

We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We have paid no cash dividends on our Common Stock to date. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. In addition, the terms of any future debt or credit facility, if any, may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be our stockholders’ sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink, which may be detrimental to investors.

 

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink. Stocks quoted on the OTC Pink generally have limited trading volume and exhibit a wide spread between the bid/ask quotation. Accordingly, you may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our stock is not active.

 

Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of brokerage firms.

 

Additional risks may exist because we became public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our Company since there is little incentive for brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our Common Stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct secondary offerings on our behalf in the future.

 

 20 

 

 

Compliance with the reporting requirements of federal securities laws can be expensive.

 

We are a public reporting company in the United States, and accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securities laws, and the compliance obligations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders are substantial. If we do not provide current information about our Company to market makers, they will not be able to trade our stock. Failure to comply with the applicable securities laws could result in private or governmental legal action against us or our officers and directors, which could have a detrimental impact on our business and financials, the value of our stock, and the ability of stockholders to resell their stock.

 

There are limitations in connection with the availability of quotes and order information on the OTC Pink.

 

Trades and quotations on the OTC Pink involve a manual process and the market information for such securities cannot be guaranteed. In addition, quote information, or even firm quotes, may not be available.  The manual execution process may delay order processing and intervening price fluctuations may result in the failure of a limit order to execute or the execution of a market order at a significantly different price.  Execution of trades, execution reporting and the delivery of legal trade confirmation may be delayed significantly.  Consequently, one may not be able to sell shares of our Common Stock at the optimum trading prices.

 

There are delays in order communication on the OTC Pink. 

 

Electronic processing of orders is not available for securities traded on the OTC Pink and high order volume and communication risks may prevent or delay the execution of one’s OTC Pink trading orders.  This lack of automated order processing may affect the timeliness of order execution reporting and the availability of firm quotes for shares of our Common Stock.  Heavy market volume may lead to a delay in the processing of OTC Pink security orders for shares of our Common Stock, due to the manual nature of the market.  Consequently, one may not able to sell shares of our Common Stock at the optimum trading prices.

 

There is a risk of market fraud on the OTC Pink.

 

OTC Pink securities are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation.  Not only because of their generally low price, but also because the OTC Pink reporting requirements for these securities are less stringent than for securities on a national securities exchange, and no exchange requirements are imposed.  Dealers may dominate the market and set prices that are not based on competitive forces.  Individuals or groups may create fraudulent markets and control the sudden, sharp increase of price and trading volume and the equally sudden collapse of the market price for shares of our Common Stock.

 

There is a limitation in connection with the editing and canceling of orders on the OTC Pink.

 

Orders for OTC Pink securities may be canceled or edited like orders for other securities.  All requests to change or cancel an order must be submitted to, received and processed by the OTC Markets.  Due to the manual order processing involved in handling OTC Pink trades, order processing and reporting may be delayed, and one may not be able to cancel or edit one’s order.  Consequently, one may not be able to sell its shares of our Common Stock at the optimum trading prices.

 

Increased dealer compensation could adversely affect our stock price.

 

The dealer’s spread (the difference between the bid and ask prices) may be large and may result in substantial losses to the seller of shares of our Common Stock on the OTC Pink if the stock must be sold immediately.  Further, purchasers of shares of our Common Stock may incur an immediate “paper” loss due to the price spread.  Moreover, dealers trading on the OTC Pink may not have a bid price for shares of our Common Stock on the OTC Pink.  Due to the foregoing, demand for shares of our Common Stock on the OTC Pink may be decreased or eliminated.

 

 21 

 

  

The Board has the right to issue additional shares of Common Stock or preferred stock, without stockholder consent, which could have the effect of creating substantial dilution or impeding or discouraging a takeover transaction.

 

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, the Board may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock. Any additional issuance of Common Stock or the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of impeding or discouraging the acquisition of control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, including a transaction in which our stockholders would receive a premium over the market price for their shares, thereby protecting the continuity of our management. Specifically, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board was to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interest of the Company or our stockholders, shares could be issued by the Board without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by:

 

diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group;
putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the incumbent board of directors; or
effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover

 

Our investors’ ownership in the Company may be diluted in the future.

 

In the future, we may issue additional authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of ownership interests of our present stockholders. We expect to need to issue a substantial number of shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, raising additional capital in the future to fund our operations, and other business purposes. On December 25, 2016, Mr. Yazbeck, in his separate capacities as sole Board member and as the holder of a majority of the Company’s voting shares, voted to ratify the MyDx, Inc. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). There were 150,000,000 million shares available to be issued pursuant to the Plan. In the year ended December 31, 2017, 143,500,000 shares were issued under the Plan.

 

Mr. Yazbeck controls a majority of our voting stock, and he may make decisions that our stockholders do not consider to be in their best interests.

 

As of the date of this Report, Mr. Yazbeck, our sole officer and sole member of our Board, and affiliated entities beneficially controls, in the aggregate, approximately 52.01% of our outstanding voting stock. Mr. Yazbeck owns 2.06% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding, however, via his control of the “super-voting” shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Mr. Yazbeck controls a majority of our voting stock. Mr. Yazbeck also owns 200,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (67.4% of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding) with each share having one vote per share. As a result, Mr. Yazbeck has the ability to exert substantial influence over the election of the Board and the outcome of issues requiring approval by our stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company that may be favored by other stockholders. This could prevent transactions in which stockholders might otherwise recover a premium for their shares over current market prices. This concentration of ownership and influence in management and the Board’s decision-making could also harm the price of our capital stock by, among other things, discouraging a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of our capital stock (whether by making a tender offer or otherwise) or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company.

 

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or detect fraud. Consequently, investors could lose confidence in our financial reporting and this may decrease the trading price of our stock.

 

We must maintain effective internal controls to provide reliable financial reports and to detect and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as would be possible with an effective control system in place. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical undiscovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal control that need improvement.

 

We have been assessing our internal controls to identify areas that need improvement. We are in the process of implementing changes to internal controls, but have not yet completed implementing these changes. Failure to implement these changes to our internal controls or any others that it identifies as necessary to maintain an effective system of internal controls could harm our operating results and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. Any such loss of confidence would have a negative effect on the trading price of our Common Stock.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we and our auditors identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to the Company not maintaining a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting for warrants to purchase common and preferred stock issued in connection with convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock and accounting for non-employee stock options. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If the Company does not address the material weaknesses, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as would be possible with an effective control system in place.

 

 22 

 

 

Our future operating results may vary substantially from period to period and may be difficult to predict.

 

On an annual and a quarterly basis, there are a number of factors that may affect our operating results, many of which are outside our control. These include, but are not limited to:

 

changes in market demand;
customer cancellations;
competitive market conditions;
new product introductions by us or our competitors;
market acceptance of new or existing products;
cost and availability of components;
timing and level of expenditures associated with new product development activities;
mix of our customer base and sales channels;
mix of products sold;
continued compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements; and
general economic conditions.

 

These factors are difficult to forecast and may contribute to substantial fluctuations in our quarterly revenues and substantial variation from our projections. Any failure to meet investor expectations regarding our operating results may cause our stock price to decline.

  

We may experience delays in introducing products or services to the market and our products or services may contain defects which could seriously harm our results of operations.

 

We may experience delays in introducing new or enhanced products or services to the market. Such delays, whether caused by factors such as unforeseen technology issues or otherwise, could negatively impact our sales revenue in the relevant period. In addition, we may terminate new product, service or enhancement development efforts prior to any introduction of a new product, service or enhancement. Any delays for new offerings currently under development or any product defect issues or product recalls could adversely affect the market acceptance of our products or services, our ability to compete effectively in the market, and our reputation, and therefore, could lead to decreased sales and could seriously harm our results of operations.

 

Our success also depends on third parties in our distribution channels.

 

Our plan is to sell our products both directly to customers and through distribution channels. We may not be successful in developing additional distribution. In addition, distributors and resellers may not dedicate sufficient resources or give sufficient priority to selling our products. Our failure to develop new distribution channels, the loss of a distribution relationship or a decline in the efforts of a reseller or distributor could adversely affect our business.

 

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition

 

The impact of the current economic climate and tight financing markets may impact consumer demand for our products and services.

 

Our customers often have limited discretionary funds, which they may choose to spend on items other than our products and services. If our customers experience economic hardship, it could negatively affect the overall demand for our products and services, could cause delay and lengthen sales cycles and could cause our revenue to decline.

 

Although we maintain allowances for returns and doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from product returns and the inability of our customers to make required payments, and such losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same return and bad debt rates that we have in the past, especially given the current economic conditions. Additionally, challenging economic conditions could have a negative impact on the results of our operations.

 

We have experienced significant losses to date and may require additional capital to fund our operations. The current financial climate may make it more difficult to secure financing, if we need it. If our business model is not successful, or if we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to offset our expenditures, we may not become profitable, and the value of your investment may decline.

 

We incurred a net loss of approximately $5,234,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and a cumulative net loss of approximately $31,633,000 from September 16, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2017.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 

None.

 

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

 

The Company owns no properties. As of September 1, 2017, the Company subleases 1,000 square feet of office and space at 6335 Ferris Square, Suite B, San Diego, California. The sublease is a month-to-month arrangement and there is a net rent of $0 per month due to the Company’s sublessor leasing furniture from the Company for $1,000 per month (the same amount as the monthly rental cost to the Company).

 

The Company believes its leased office and laboratory space are adequate for its current needs.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to claims and litigation, including claims that we infringe third party patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights. Although we believe it is unlikely that any current claims or actions will have a material adverse impact on our operating results or our financial position, given the uncertainty of litigation, we cannot be certain of this. Moreover, the defense of claims or actions against us, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

 

Our involvement in any patent dispute, other intellectual property dispute or action to protect trade secrets and know-how could result in a material adverse effect on our business. Adverse determinations in current litigation or any other litigation in which we may become involved and regulatory non-compliance, including with respect to export regulations, could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties or government agencies, require us to grant licenses to or seek licenses from third parties and prevent us from manufacturing and selling our products. Any of these situations could have a material adverse effect on our business. 

 

Lawsuit Against Jerome Dewald and Skip Sanzeri

 

On July 14, 2017, the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Yazbeck, filed a complaint in Superior Court of California against Jerome Dewald, Skip Sanzeri and twenty-five (25) persons or entities whose true identities are currently unknown to the Company (collectively, the “Defendants”). Mr. Sanzeri was the Chief Operating Officer of the Company in 2014 and 2015. The Defendants allegedly made false statements about the Company, its products, and Mr. Yazbeck on online investor platforms and at investor events. In addition, the Defendants allegedly, by sending a demand letter for $205,000, attempted to extort money from the Company. Based on these alleged actions, the causes of action in the lawsuit are: (i) trade libel; (ii) defamation; (iii) false light; (iv) intentional interference with prospective business relations; (v) negligent interference with prospective business relations; (vi) intentional interference with contract; (vii) unfair competition pursuant to a California statute; (viii) civil extortion; and (viii) breach of fiduciary duty. The Company is seeking general damages of $29 million, special damages, punitive damages, an injunction to prevent the Defendants from engaging in the unlawful and unfair business practices alleged in the complaint, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. On September 21, 2017, Dewald filed a Demurrer as to the Plaintiff’s complaint. On November 21, 2017, the Plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint in which none of the causes of action were changed, but more facts were alleged. On December 20, 2017, Dewald noticed a demurrer as to the First Amended Complaint. This demurrer was heard on February 2, 2018 and was overruled and CDx was victorious. Simultaneous to the demurrer, discovery had been propounded on Dewald as to acquire evidence to support the factual allegations of the First Amended Complaint. Regarding Defendant Sanzeri, a tentative settlement had been reached, but not signed, with Sanzeri. The parties have agreed to attempt to resolve this litigation through a mediation proceeding and have signed a stipulation re: mediation and related extensions on March 13, 2018 to that effect.

 

Lawsuit Against Bright Light Marketing, Inc.

 

On March 10, 2017, the Company and Bright Light Marketing, Inc. (“BLM”) entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “BLM Settlement”). Pursuant to the BLM Settlement, BLM was to pay the Company a total of $217,500 over the twelve (12) months following March 13, 2017. BLM’s first payment of $100,000 was due within thirty (30) business days of the signing of the BLM Settlement. BLM was then to pay the Company $10,000 per month on the first day of the next eleven (11) months and the final payment of $7,500 was due on March 1, 2018.

 

As of January 22, 2018, BLM had not made any payments to the Company pursuant to the BLM Settlement. On that date, the Company filed a complaint in Superior Court of California against BLM to enforce the BLM Settlement amount of $217,500 and to collect interest at the default rate of $47.67 per day. In addition, the Company is seeking court costs and attorney’s fees. BLM answered the complaint on March 12, 2018. The initial case management conference is in May.

Shareholders of Record

 

As of April 16, 2018, an aggregate of 1,893,272,792 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding and owned by approximately 132 shareholders of record. Due to shares of our Common Stock being held by depositaries, brokers and other nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of stockholders of record.

 

On September 30, 2016, the Company amended its Articles to increase the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from three hundred and seventy-five million (375,000,000) to ten billion (10,000,000,000), par value $0.001 per share and to authorize for issuance up ten million (10,000,000) shares of blank check preferred stock par value $0.001 per share. The Board is authorized to designate the rights and preferences of each series of preferred stock.

 

 25 

 

 

On December 23, 2016, the Board designated 51 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Among other provisions, each one (1) share of the Series A Preferred shall have voting rights equal to (x) 0.019607 multiplied by the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote (the “Numerator”), divided by (y) 0.49, minus (z) the Numerator. For purposes of illustration only, if the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote is 5,000,000, the voting rights of one share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be equal to 102,036 (0.019607 x 5,000,000) / 0.49) – (0.019607 x 5,000,000) = 102,036). The 51 shares were issued to Daniel Yazbeck, the Company’s Chief Executive officer and the sole member of the Board. Mr. Yazbeck, via his ownership of the 51 shares of the Series A Preferred, has control of the majority of the Company’s voting stock.

 

On December 23, 2016, the Company designated 300,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.0001. Holders of the Series B Preferred are entitled to receive dividends annually equal to $0.10 for each share of Series B Preferred held. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series B Preferred then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock. Until such time as there are fewer than 20,000 shares of Series B Preferred outstanding, the Company needs to obtain the majority votes of the holders of Series B Preferred with regard to certain actions. Holders of Series B Preferred shares are entitled to one vote for each share held, are entitled to elect up to two members to the Board, and, absent such election, are provided certain voting and veto rights with regard to any vote by the Board. On January 6, the 300,000 shares of the Series B Preferred were issued to Mr. Yazbeck. On June 30, 2017, Mr. Yazbeck sold 100,000 shares of Series B Preferred for net proceeds of $45,000. Mr. Yazbeck then lent the $45,000 to the Company. 

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we issued shares of our common stock that were not registered under the Securities Act, and were not previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K or on a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as follows:

 

On November 9, 2017, the Company issued 82,500,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $0.0023 pursuant to conversion notices of convertible promissory notes outstanding totaling approximately $189,750.

 

On December 14, 2017, the Company issued 17,391,304 shares of common stock at a price per share of $0.0023 pursuant to conversion notices of convertible promissory notes outstanding totaling approximately $40,000.

 

On December 14, 2017, the Company issued 33,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a conversion of 3,300 shares of Series B Preferred stock at a conversion price of $0.0001.

 

The shares identified in this Part II, Item 5 were not registered under the Securities Act. The shares qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of the shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(a)(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. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. 

 

Repurchase of Equity Securities

 

We have no plans, programs or other arrangements in regards to repurchases of our common stock.

Dividends

 

We have not since December 12, 2012 (date of inception) declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our Common Stock and currently do not anticipate paying such cash dividends on shares of our Common Stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future on shares of our Common Stock will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, tax laws and other factors as the Board, in its discretion, deems relevant.

 

Holders of the Series B Preferred are entitled to receive dividends annually equal to $0.10 for each share of Series B Preferred held.

 

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

 

Selected financial data to our financial statements located elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is not required for smaller reporting companies under Article 8 Regulation S-X.

 

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, MyDx’s audited annual financial statements and the related notes thereto as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 20, 2017, as amended on April 26, 2017. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” in this quarterly report. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. For additional information regarding these risks and uncertainties, please see the disclosure under the heading “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

The Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations below is based upon only the financial performance of MyDx. MyDx’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the audited results of operations of MyDx for the Period ended December 31, 2016. 

 

We believe that our assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations and the business and operations of the Company. No assurances are made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities will not differ materially from its assumptions. Factors that could cause differences include, but are not limited to, expected market demand for the Company’s products and services and competition.

 

The Merger between MyDx, Inc. and CDx, Inc. (“CDx”), consummated on April 30, 2015, was treated as a reverse acquisition for financial accounting and reporting purposes. As such, CDx is treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes while MyDx, Inc. was treated as the acquired entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Further, as a result, the historical financial statements that will be reflected in the Company’s future financial statements filed with the SEC will be those of CDx, and the Company’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of CDx. Accordingly, for clarity and continuity, we are presenting the historical financial statements for CDx, Inc. for the periods presented.

 

Overview

 

MyDx is a science and technology company that develops and deploys products and services in the following focus areas:

 

  1) Consumer Products – smart devices and consumables

 

  2) Data Analytics – pre-clinical chemical analysis and patient feedback ecosystem

 

  3) Biopharmaceuticals – identifying ‘green Active Pharmaceutical IngredientsTM, (gAPITM) and corresponding formulations

 

  4) Software as a Service (SaaS) – Software services for prescribers, patient groups, cultivators, and regulators

 

 27 

 

 

We are committed to addressing areas of critical national need to promote public safety, transparency and regulation in the various markets we serve.

 

The Company’s first product, MyDx®, also known as “My Diagnostic”, is a multiuse hand-held chemical analyzer made for consumers and professional users which feeds our data analytics platform and SaaS business. MyDx is intended to allow consumers to Trust & Verify® what they put into their mind and body by using our science and technology to test for pesticides in food, chemicals in water, toxins in the air, and the safety and potency of cannabis samples, which is our initial focus.

 

The Company’s founder, sole officer and sole member of the Board of Directors, Daniel Yazbeck, is an experienced executive with over 15 years of product research, development and commercialization experience including at Fortune 500 companies. Mr. Yazbeck was a scientist for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, specializing in Chemical R&D technologies that identify and manufacture Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients at scale using green chemistry and a strategic product and market developer for Panasonic, engineering new consumer electronic products and deploying them with strategic partners in the healthcare industry. Mr. Yazbeck is also a seasoned asset-backed investor at Yazbeck Investments and holds a master of science degree from McGill University. 

 

MyDx, and its majority owned subsidiary, CDx, has successfully executed on a four-year business plan. The Company has received cash investments of approximately $8 million to date. In 2013, CDx was established with $210,000 in seed funding and resource support from an entity affiliated with Mr. Yazbeck to secure strategic development partners and establish a market, product and initial IP portfolio. In 2014, CDx developed, protected, manufactured and marketed the beta version of its first product, the MyDx Analyzer, through a crowdfunding campaign that launched in January 2014 as well as a financing round where $600,000 of shares of CDx, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock was sold through April 2014 and $2 million in convertible notes were issued through September 2014. The Beta product was released in the first quarter of 2015, at which point $4,800,000 of shares of Series B Preferred Stock in CDx, Inc. was sold followed by the completion of the Merger with MyDx, Inc., whose shares of common started to trade on the OTCQB marketplace. The official product was released in the third quarter of 2015 and the Company received an additional $250,000 loan from the same entity affiliated with Mr. Yazbeck to help finance its operations in the fourth quarter. In 2016, we believe the Company continued to penetrate its market and increased brand recognition. Since the MyDx Analyzer’s launch in 2015 it has generated close to $1.5M in revenues. In addition, in 2016, the Company launched additional products that tests for pesticides in food and chemicals in water and financed the company’s operations primarily through the issuance of convertible debt, the majority of which had been satisfied as of December 31, 2017.

Business Plan

 

The Company is currently focused on 4 key business segments to service the cannabis industry.

 

1. Consumer Products

 

Smart Devices & Consumables

 

  1) CannaDxTM

 

  The cannabis industry’s first hand-held cannabis sensor and analyzer with disposable single use inserts.
  Comes with a mobile app that acts as a ‘virtual budtender’.
  Analyzes cannabis sample and provides a Total Canna ProfileTM (TCP), a more complete chemical profile to include THC and the most prevalent cannabinoids and terpenes found in cannabis plants.
  Cannabinoids such as THC and CBD have been reported to bind the CB1 and CB2 receptors found throughout the human body and have been reported to provide relief to an array of symptoms, including pain, nausea, and inflammation to name a few. Terpenes, which have been reported to compound the effects of cannabinoids on the body via an “Entourage Effect”, are also important in determining the overall physiological effects various cannabis chemical profiles.
  Enables users to log their ailments and side effects and tie those back to the exact chemical profile
  Provides strain recommendations based on desired “relief” input based on crowdsourced community feedback.

 

  2) Eco Smart PenTM and Other Delivery Devices

 

  MyDx plans to develop additional smart hardware that gather user data, such as the Eco Smart Pen. MyDx plans to release the Eco Smart Pen in the third quarter of 2018.
  Integrated with Bluetooth as well as other technologies that will allow for mobile-app control, dose restrictions, safety controls, and usage statistics.
  We plan to OEM these product to third-party customers

 

  3) MyDx Tablet Edition

 

  MyDx plans to develop he first touchscreen kitchen tablet in the market with integrated MyDx sensor reading capability
  Sensor lineup to include OrganaDx, AquaDx, and AeroDx.
  Company plans to offer CannaDx data portal management ability in MyDx Tablet Edition .

 

MyDx plans to evaluate the 510K FDA device approval process to leverage its consumer products and the ability of insurance companies to support sales of its smart devices and generate HIPPA compliant crowdsourced data. 

 

2. Data Analytics

 

Pre-Clinical Chemical Analysis and Patient Feedback Ecosystem

 

MyDx has four classes of data and algorithms:

 

  1) User Data

 

  When users download the CannaDx mobile app, we may ask them put in personal details such as gender, location, height, weight, age etc. that we maintain while complying with HIPAA.

 

  2) Chemical Composition Data

 

  This information is sourced from a number of inputs including the CannaDx Handheld’s Total Canna Profile (TCP), partner laboratories analyses, and branded pre-tested concentrates.

 

  3) User Feedback

 

  Provided by users in our CannaDx mobile app as they try various products and record their experiences with those products.

 

  4) Usage Statistics

 

  We will capture type, frequency, dosage, ailments relieved, and side effects.

 

MyDx plans to leverage this data, which combined is referred to as the Total Canna ProfileTM (TCP), combined with our proprietary algorithms, to develop key insights into user behavior based on unique chemical profiles. Our goal is to track how a specific sample is expected to help relieve certain ailments and to validate the results.

 

 29 

 

 

3. Biopharmaceutical

 

Identifying ‘green Active Pharmaceutical IngredientsTM’ (gAPITM) and corresponding formulations

 

  1) Sale and License of Product Formulations

 

  MyDx plans to work with third party customers to license crowdsourced formulated chemical profiles that are expected to address a specific “relief” desired using its own proprietary formulas derived from our extensive dataset and algorithms.

 

  2) Sale of green Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (gAPITM)

 

  This division will also look to provide an organic source of extracted green Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (gAPITM), such as a predefined terpene formulation, for consumer and industrial use.
  Given that certain classes of gAPI’s such hemp derived CBD and terpenes might offer “relief” without the “high” THC provides, MyDx intends to partner with leaders in the industry to offer branded products without THC, akin to a “virgin” cocktail, if it finds that these formulations offer the benefits desired and the legal framework to sell them is viable.

 

4. SaaS (Software as a Service)

 

Software services for prescribers, patient groups, cultivators, and regulators

 

  1) MyDx App

 

  Available in iOS and Android and controls the MyDx Analyzer
  Tracks patient tested samples and physiological feedback
  Prints a Certificate of Analysis, which includes patient feedback
  Offers patients groups and their doctors with OEM software to track what the community is experiencing
  Centrally hosted in our secure cloud based server
  Will offer in App purchases for additional software subscription features

 

2)MYDX360

 

MyDx360 is a Software As A Service (SAAS)-based community engagement platform designed to help entrepreneurs develop, launch and track the effects of new formulated products on consumers to help penetrate their target markets more effectively.
As part of the service, companies will choose from among MyDx’s many chemical formulations that best align with the physiological response its target demographic is seeking. From there, MyDx will outsource the delivery of those formulations through licensed concentrate manufacturing facilities and provide customer-engagement support via its SAAS platform and MyDx smart devices such as the EcoSmartPen to acquire and analyze user feedback.
Collectively, this suite of services will be called MyDx360.

 

  3) Software to Support Laboratory Marketing, Customer Service and Data Aggregation

 

  MyDx will offer what we believe will be the premier lead generator and outsourced services provider for cannabis testing labs
  Through certain assets MyDx expects to develop or acquire, as well as leads generated from our handheld analysis and smart devices, we believe MyDx will be positioned to become a world leader in cannabis laboratory marketing and services and as the largest “data holder” of tested cannabis and the associated chemical profiles tied to the ailment therapy.

Recent Developments

 

MYDX360 SAAS Ecosystem License and Services Agreements

 

In April 2018 the Company verbally agreed to enter into a separate MYDX360 SAAS Ecosystem License and Services Agreements with Q’NCH, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and HotNife, LLC, a California limited liability company. (the “SAAS Agreements”). Under the terms of the SAAS Agreements, the Company granted the counterparties a non-exclusive limited license to: (i) access the Company’s Database (as defined in the SAAS Agreements) (the “Access License”), and (ii) use the Company’s “Powered by MyDx” trademark and the MyDx logo on the counterparties’ products (the “Brand License”, and together with the Access License, the “MyDx License”).

License and Services Agreement

 

On April 9, 2018, the Company verbally agreed to enter into a License and Services Agreement with Humanity Holdings Inc. and Humanity Products, Inc. (collectively “Humanity Holdings”). Humanity Holdings currently operates a manufacturing and distribution facility, licensed by the state of California, through which it engages in the sale and distribution of various cannabis related products. The Company granted Humanity Holdings a non-exclusive license to manufacture, sell, and distribute products within California using proprietary product formulations owned or licensed by the Company. The Company agreed to issue Humanity Holdings shares of Common Stock worth $25,000 on the 45th day following the effective date of the agreement. This is in exchange for Humanity Holdings not contracting with a competitor of the Company who provides formulation services, smart vape device hardware and related software applications to its network, product branding or access to reporting from its data set that ties a user’s experience to a chemical profile of the product they are consuming. Humanity Holdings will pay 20% of net sales to the Company as a support services fee and 30% of net sales to the Company as a royalty.

 

Results of Operations

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $5,233,519 and $16,501,089, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and had an accumulated deficit of $ $31,632,972 as of December 31, 2017.

 

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

 

Revenue

 

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had licensing revenue of $8,829 and $138,000, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had product service revenue of $13,384 and $18,758, respectively.

The decrease of $515,710, or 75%, resulted primarily from the Company taking a more economical and streamlined outsourcing approach to developing new products (such as the Eco Smart PenTM) as well as improving existing products, including CannaDxTM, AquaDxTM and OrganaDxTM.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of consulting fees for third-party services and general marketing expenses. For year ended December 31, 2017, the Company expended $968,687 as compared to $1,967,786 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease of $999.099, or 51%, resulted primarily from the Company expanding brand awareness surrounding its new product lines using more economical PR and social media marketing channels targeting Canada as compared to the costlier product expansion collaboration models entered into in 2016.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and benefits, consulting fees, legal fees, accounting fees and general administrative expenses.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company expended $1,589,485 as compared to $1,888,155 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease of $298,670, or 16%, resulted primarily from decreases in accounting fees, investor relation fees, legal fees, and miscellaneous general administrative expenses.

  

Other income (expense)

 

Other expenses decreased $9,474,920, resulted primarily from the decrease of loss on settlement of debt, interest expense related to the notes payable, and loss on fair value of derivative liability. These were offset by an increase in a loss on extinguishment of debt.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since its inception, capital raised by the Company has been used primarily for the Company’s research and development efforts and to support its operations. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had remaining cash of $119,028 with a net working capital deficit of $4,406,195. As a result of the Company’s significant operating expenditures and the lack of significant product sales revenue, we expect to incur losses from operations for the near future and will be required to seek additional capital to sustain our operations.

 

It is anticipated that we will continue to report negative operating cash flow in future periods, likely until one or more of our products generate sufficient revenue to cover our operating expenses. If any of the warrants are exercised, all net proceeds of the warrant exercise will be used for working capital to fund negative operating cash flow.

 

Our cash balance of $119,028 will not be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. Additionally, if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to pay our expenses, we will need to raise additional funds to continue our operations. We have historically financed our operations through private equity and debt financings. Recent economic turmoil and severe lack of liquidity in the debt capital markets together with volatility and rapidly falling prices in the equity capital markets have severely and adversely affected capital raising opportunities. We do not have any commitments for financing at this time, and financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain debt or equity financing in amounts sufficient to fund our operations, if necessary, we will be forced to suspend or curtail our operations. In that event, current stockholders would likely experience a loss of most or all of their investment. Additional funding that we do obtain may be dilutive to the interests of existing stockholders.

 

To the extent, we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities or obtaining borrowings convertible into equity, ownership dilution to existing stockholders will result and future investors may be granted rights superior to those of existing stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness or debt financing would result in increased fixed obligations and could also result in covenants that would restrict our operations. Our ability to obtain additional capital may depend on prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors beyond our control. Economic crisis and disruptions in the U.S. and global financial markets may adversely impact the availability and cost of credit, as well as our ability to raise money in the capital markets. Instability in these market conditions may limit our ability to access the capital necessary to fund and grow our business. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will be able to raise the additional capital needed to fund its operations, or if the Company is able to raise such additional capital, that any such financing will be on terms which are beneficial to the existing shareholders.

Current assets  $300,352   $301,252 
Current liabilities   4,708,549    3,648,520 
Working Capital Deficit  $(4,408,197)  $(3,347,268)

 

Current assets for December 31, 2017 increased compared to December 31, 2016 primarily due to an increase in cash due to the sale of our products and the proceeds from the issuance of common stock and an increase of inventory.

 

Current liabilities for December 31, 2017 increased compared to December 31, 2016 primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, customer deposits convertible notes, and derivative liability.

 

Cash Flows

 

   Years Ended
December 31,
 
   2017   2016 
Net Cash (Used in) Operating Activities  $(401,214)  $(819,087)
           
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities   482,039    713,610 

Net Change

  $80,825   $(105,477)

 

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

 

Our primary uses of cash from operating activities include payments to consultants for research and development, compensation and related costs, legal and professional fees and other general corporate expenditures.

 

Cash used in operating activities consist of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, primarily equity-based compensation expense, common stock issued in exchange for services, accretion of debt discount and debt issuance costs on convertible notes and the change in fair value of derivative liabilities due primarily to the mark to market of the Company’s derivatives embedded in the convertible notes, and a gain of settlement of liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2017, as well as the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.

 

In addition, the net decrease in cash from changes in working capital activities from the year ended December 31, 2017 to the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily consisted of a decrease in inventory, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and an increase in customer deposits.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

For the years ended December 31, 2017, financing activities provided cash of $482,039 which resulted from an increase of $245,500 in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, $263,500 in proceeds from note payable. For the year ended December 31, 2016, financing activities provided $713,610 which resulted from an increase of $521,622 in proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable, and $300,000 in proceeds from issuance of asset based loans.

 

Going Concern

 

At December 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $31,632,972 and incurred a net loss of $5,233,519 for the year ended December 31, 2017. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of MyDx, Inc.:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

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

 

Explanatory Paragraph Regarding Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a net capital deficiency and negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

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

 

We also have audited the re-classification to the 2016 consolidated financial statements of Series B preferred shares to temporary equity, as described in Note 4. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2016 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to this re-classification and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2016 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

MyDx, Inc.

6335 Ferris Square, Suite B

San Diego, CA 92121

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MyDx, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2016 and their related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the for year then ended December 31, 2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3, the Company has recurring losses from operations and accumulated deficit for both years. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3. Going Concern

 

The Company has adopted ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

As reflected in the consolidated Financial Statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2017, and a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

 

The Company is attempting to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues; however, its cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. The Company has a limited operating history and its prospects are subject to risks, expenses and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies. These risks include, but are not limited to, the uncertainty of availability of financing and the uncertainty of achieving future profitability. Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise funds through the capital markets. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise capital or reduce certain discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. We reported negative cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. It is anticipated that we will continue to report negative operating cash flow in future periods, likely until one or more of our products generates sufficient revenue to cover our operating expenses. If any of the warrants are exercised, all net proceeds of the warrant exercise will be used for working capital to fund negative operating cash flow.  

 

 F-7 

 

 

Our cash balance of $119,028 at December 31, 2017 will not be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months. Additionally, if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to pay our expenses, we will need to raise additional funds to continue our operations. We have historically financed our operations through private equity and debt financings. We do not have any commitments for financing at this time, and financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain debt or equity financing in amounts sufficient to fund our operations, if necessary, we will be forced to suspend or curtail our operations. In that event, current stockholders would likely experience a loss of most or all of their investment. Additional funding that we do obtain may be dilutive to the interests of existing stockholders.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated finance statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such management estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, estimates of product returns, warranty expense, inventory valuation, valuation allowances of deferred taxes, stock-based compensation expenses and fair value of warrants  and derivatives. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that it believes are reasonable. The Company assesses these estimates on a regular basis; however, actual results could materially differ from those estimates. 

 

Concentration of Risk Related to Third-party Suppliers

 

We depend on a limited number of third-party suppliers for the materials and components required to manufacture our products. A delay or interruption by our suppliers may harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and could also adversely affect our future profit margins. In addition, the lead time needed to establish a relationship with a new supplier can be lengthy, and we may experience delays in meeting demand in the event we must change or add new suppliers. Our dependence on our suppliers exposes us to numerous risks, including but not limited to the following: our suppliers may cease or reduce production or deliveries, raise prices, or renegotiate terms; we may be unable to locate a suitable replacement supplier on acceptable terms or on a timely basis, or at all; and delays caused by supply issues may harm our reputation, frustrate our customers, and cause them to turn to our competitors for future needs.

 

 F-8 

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company recognizes and discloses the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). Each level of input has different levels of subjectivity and difficulty involved in determining fair value.

 

  Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurable date.
     
  Level 2 Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
     
  Level 3 Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s loan payable and convertible notes payable approximates fair value based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms.

 

Business Segments

 

ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. Currently, ASC 280 has no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted in one industry segment.

 

Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company held no cash equivalents.

 

The Company’s policy is to place its cash with high credit quality financial instruments and institutions and limit the amounts invested with any one financial institution or in any type of instrument. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company makes ongoing assumptions relating to the collectability of its accounts receivable in its calculation of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In determining the amount of the allowance, the Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations and assesses current economic trends affecting its customers that might impact the level of credit losses in the future and result in different rates of bad debts than previously seen. The Company also considers its historical level of credit losses. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was an allowance for doubtful accounts of $27,851 and $0 respectively.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017 the company recorded a bad debt expense of $27,851.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventory is determined to be salable based on demand forecast within a specific time horizon, generally eighteen months or less. Inventory in excess of salable amounts and inventory which is considered obsolete based upon changes in existing technology is written off. At the point of recognition, a new lower cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that new cost basis. 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the useful life as follows:

 

Internal-use software  3 years
Equipment  3 to 5 years
Computer equipment  3 to 7 years
Furniture and fixtures  5 to 7 years
Leasehold improvements  Shorter of life of asset or lease

 

 F-9 

 

 

Accounting for Website Development Costs

 

The Company capitalizes certain external and internal costs, including internal payroll costs, incurred in connection with the development of its website. These costs are capitalized beginning when the Company has entered the application development stage and cease when the project is substantially complete and is ready for its intended use. The website development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheets and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheets.

 

Debt Discount and Debt Issuance Costs

 

Debt discounts and debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense based on the related debt agreements using the straight-line method. Unamortized discounts are netted against long-term debt.

 

Derivative Liability

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Paragraph 815-15-25-1 the conversion feature and certain other features are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a conversion reset provision, a penalty provision and redemption option, which are to be recorded at their fair value as its fair value can be separated from the convertible note and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The Company records the resulting discount on debt related to the conversion features at initial transaction and amortizes the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt instruments. The conversion liability is then marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the statements of operations.

 

In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. 

 

The Company follows ASC Section 815-40-15 (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. The adoption of Section 815-40-15 has affected the accounting for (i) certain freestanding warrants that contain exercise price adjustment features and (ii) convertible bonds issued by foreign subsidiaries with a strike price denominated in a foreign currency.

 

The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts, if any, to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 810-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation and then that the related fair value is reclassified to equity.

 

 F-10 

 

 

The Company utilizes the binomial option pricing model to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The binomial option pricing model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the remaining contractual term of the instrument granted.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the period of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

The Company is no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2013.

 

Product revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue when four revenue recognition criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred, or services have been rendered; the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. In accordance with ASC 605-20 revenue from multiple-element arrangements is allocated among separate elements based on their estimated sales prices, provided the elements have value on a stand-alone basis.

 

Licensing revenue

 

Revenue is generally recognized when:

 

Evidence of an arrangement exists;
   
Delivery has occurred;
   
Fees are fixed or determinable; and
   
Collection is considered probable.

 

Some of the Company’s revenues are generated from software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) subscription offerings and related product support and maintenance. SaaS revenues stem mainly from annual subscriptions and are recorded evenly over the term of the subscription. Any customer payments received in advance are deferred until they are earned. Consulting and training revenues are recognized as work is performed.

 

Product Returns

 

For any product in its original, undamaged and unmarked condition, with its included accessories and packaging along with the original receipt (or gift receipt) within 30 days of the date the customer receives the product, the Company will exchange it or offer a refund based upon the original payment method.

 

Customer Deposits

 

The Company accounts for funds received from crowdfunding campaigns and pre-sales as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets as the investments made entitle the investor to apply these funds towards future shipments once the product has been developed and available for commercial use. 

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. These costs consist primarily of salaries and direct payroll-related costs. It also includes purchased materials and services provided by independent contractors, software developed by other companies and incorporated into or used in the development of our final products. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $170,385 and $686,095, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses as incurred. Advertising expenses, which are recorded in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses, totaled $968,687 and $98,219 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

 F-11 

 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. Accordingly, stock-based compensation is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as an operating expense over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model adjusted for the estimated forfeiture rate for the respective grant to determine the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation arrangements on the date of grant and expenses this value ratably over the requisite service period of the stock option. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options. In addition, management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of stock-based compensation. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies for future grants, and which could materially impact the Company’s fair value determination.

 

The Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”. If the equity instrument is a stock option, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value. Assumptions used to value the equity instruments are consistent with equity instruments issued to employees as the terms of the awards are similar. The Company recognizes the fair value of the equity instruments as expense over the term of the service agreement and revalues that fair value at each reporting period over the vesting periods of the equity instruments.

 

Warranty

 

The Company provides a limited warranty for its analyzers and sensors for a period of 1 year from the date of shipment that such goods will be free from material defects in material and workmanship. The Company has assessed the historical claims and, to date, warranty claims have not been significant. The Company will continue to assess the need to record a warranty accrual at the time of sale going forward.

 

Collaborative Arrangements

 

The Company and its collaborative partners are active participants in the collaborative arrangements and both parties are exposed to significant risks and rewards depending on the commercial success of the activity. The Company records all expenses related to collaborative arrangements as research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations as incurred. 

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, which is the case for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 presented in these consolidated financial statements, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. 

 

The Company had the following common stock equivalents at December 31, 2017 and 2016:

  

   December 31, 2017   December 31, 2016 
Series A Preferred stock   51    51 
Series B Preferred stock   2,967,000,000    3,000,000,000 
Convertible notes payable   66,584,538    357,384,725 
Convertible accounts payable   312,821,828    284,210,526 
Options   1,496,250    1,490,026 
Warrants  261,837,676    7,571,395 
Totals  3,609,740,343   3,650,656,723

Subsequent events

 

The Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to December 31, 2017 and through the date the financial statements were issued.

 

Revised Prior Period Amounts 

 

Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the current year presentation. The Company identified and recorded an out-of-period adjustment related to redeemable series B preferred stock that should have been recorded in temporary equity during year ended December 31, 2016. The adjustment was reflected as a $5,699,700 increase in redeemable series B preferred stock and corresponding decrease in Additional paid-in capital. See Note 10.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard’s core principle (issued as ASU 2014-09 by the FASB), is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The new guidance must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year, and would allow entities the option to early adopt the new revenue standard as of the original effective date. This ASU is effective for public reporting companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 will not materially impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to adopt the methodologies prescribed by ASU 2014-15. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 had no material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In March 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The amendments should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Upon transition, an entity is required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in an accounting principle. These disclosures include the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted, and the effect of the change on the financial statement line items (i.e., debt issuance cost asset and the debt liability). The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 during the year ended December 31, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 had no material effect on its financial position or results of operations or cash flows. 

 

 F-13 

 

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”, which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under current inventory standards, the market value requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value and net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. The new guidance replaces market with net realizable value defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The standard is required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that annual period, which is our fiscal year 2018. The amendment is to be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations or cash flows.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations or cash flows.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (topic 606). In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross verses Net)” (topic 606). These amendments provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The amendments in ASU 2016-10 provide clarifying guidance on materiality of performance obligations; evaluating distinct performance obligations; treatment of shipping and handling costs; and determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use an entity’s intellectual property or a right to access an entity’s intellectual property. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 clarify how an entity should identify the specified good or service for the principal versus agent evaluation and how it should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements. The adoption of ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-08 is to coincide with an entity’s adoption of ASU 2014-09, which we intend to adopt for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-10 will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations or cash flows.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, which narrowly amended the revenue recognition guidance regarding collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition and is effective during the same period as ASU 2014-09. The adoption of ASU 2016-12 won’t have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations or cash flows. 

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 won’t have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations or cash flows. 

 

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize, for all leases of 12 months or more, a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Additionally, the guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. This ASU is effective for public reporting companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

 F-14 

 

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory”, which eliminates the exception that prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income tax effects for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)”, requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a retrospective approach which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

 

 In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,” which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This standard is required to be adopted in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception”. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Notes contain a 10% original issue discount such that the purchase price of each Note is $100,000. The first Note was funded on December 22, 2015 and is due and payable on December 21, 2017. The second Note shall initially be paid for by the issuance of an offsetting $100,000 collateralized secured note issued by Adar Bays to the Company due and payable no later than August 21, 2016. The funding of the second Note is subject to certain conditions, and the Company may reject the closing of the second Note in its discretion. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum and may be converted by Adar Bays at any time after the date which is nine months of the date of issuance into shares of Company common stock at a conversion price equal to 60% of the market price (as determined in the Notes) calculated at the time of conversion. The Company did not book a beneficial conversion feature in connection with the issuance of the Notes, as terms of the conversion are variable and the ultimate number of shares to be issued upon conversion could not be determined at the date the Notes were issued. As such, upon conversion of the Notes the number of shares will be determined and the Company will evaluate whether or not a beneficial conversion feature exists based on the conversion price compared to the price of the Company’s common stock at the date of issuance of the Notes. The Notes also contain certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, and increases in the amount of the principal and interest rates under the Notes in the event of such defaults. The Notes may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to 180 days after the date of issuance of the Notes subject to the payment of prepayment penalties as described in the Notes. The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Notes, and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the agreements which are filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 24, 2015. The issuance of the Notes was made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering, and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company’s reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in issuing the securities was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction by us which did not involve a public offering; (b) there was only one recipient; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by the Company; (d) the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; (e) the negotiations for the issuance of the securities took place directly between the individual and the Company; and (f) the recipient of the Notes was an accredited investor. The Company recorded the original issue discount of $10,000 as debt issuance cost on its balance sheet which is netted against the face value of the Note and is being accreted over the term of the Note. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company amortized a total of $7,510 and $10,000, respectively, of the debt issuance cost. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Note holder converted the Note and accrued unpaid interest into 7,142,526 share of the Company’s common stock.

Resale Licensing Agreement

 

On October 4, 2016, the Company executed a Resale Licensing Agreement with ANP Technologies, Inc. (“ANP”) (the “Agreement”) that outlines the terms and conditions for a One-Time, Non-Exclusive Resale License to MyDx, Inc. for the sale of ANP’s ACE-III-C pesticide and toxic heavy metal Lateral Flow Assay detection test under MyDx, Inc.’s brand.

Litigation

 

In the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to other legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. Although the ultimate aggregate amount of probable monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters is subject to many uncertainties and is therefore not predictable with assurance, the Company’s management believes that any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company from these other matters, individually and in the aggregate, would not be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

However, there can be no assurance with respect to such result, and monetary liability or financial impact to the Company from these other matters could differ materially from those projected.

 

12. Income Taxes

 

The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:

Reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax to the Company's effective tax:

 

   For the year ended
December 31,
 
   2017   2016 
   %   % 
Statutory federal tax rate   21.00%   34.00%
State taxes, net of federal benefit   6.32%   -0.00%
Valuation allowance   -21.99%   -25.11%
Other   -5.33%   8.89%
Provision for income taxes   0.00%   0.00%

  

Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets of the Company will not be fully realizable for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Accordingly, management had applied a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

The valuation allowance increased by approximately $1.1 million and $1.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $13.0 million of federal and $12.1 million of state net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income which will begin to expire in 2033 for both federal and state purposes.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had research & development (“R&D”) credits carryforward of approximately $89,700 and $96,400 for federal and California income tax purposes, respectively. If not utilized, the federal R&D credits carryforward will begin to expire in 2034. The California credits can be carried forward indefinitely.

 

The Company is filing income tax returns with the United States federal government, and the state of California. The Company’s tax years 2014 through 2017 will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities for three and four years, respectively, from the utilization of any net operating loss credits.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act pf 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Act reduces the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. ASC 470 requires the Company to remeasure the existing net deferred tax asset in the period of enactment. The Act also provides for immediate expensing of 100% or the costs of qualified property that is incurred and placed in service during the period from September 27, 2017 to December 31, 2022. Beginning January 1, 2023, the immediate expensing provision is phased down by 20% per year until it is completely phased out as of January 1, 2027. Additionally, effective January 1, 2018, the Act imposes possible limitations on the deductibility of interest expense. As a result of the provisions of the Act, the Company’s deduction for interest expense could be limited in future years. The effects of other provisions of the Act are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to provide guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that begins in the reporting period that includes the Act’s enactment date and ends when an entity has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information that was needed in order to complete the accounting requirements under ASC 720. However, in no circumstance should the measurement period extend beyond one year from the enactment date. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect in its financial statements the income tax effects of those aspects of the Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. SAB 118 provides that to the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements.

 

The Company does not reflect a deferred tax asset in its financial statements but includes that calculation and valuation in its footnotes. We are still analyzing the impact of certain provisions of the Act and refining our calculations. The Company will disclose any change in the estimates as it refines the accounting for the impact of the Act.

 

13. Subsequent Events

 

On January 26, 2018 the company entered into a joint venture with Ganja Gold to form “NewCo”. With the formation of NewCo, the intent is for the Parties to manufacture and distribute a new premium line of physiological based Vape formulations. under Ganja Gold Vape Brand (“GGV”). The GGV Brand will be powered by MYDX data and formulations utilizing the Eco Smart Pen Device under an exclusive license of MYDX Power Formulations. MyDx will have the option to acquire 50% of NewCo.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE  

 

None.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of December 31, 2017, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified below.  

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures 

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system 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, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. 

 

We must maintain effective internal controls to provide reliable financial reports and to detect and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as would be possible with an effective control system in place. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical undiscovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal control that need improvement. 

 

We have been assessing our internal controls to identify areas that need improvement. We are in the process of implementing changes to internal controls, but have not yet completed implementing these changes. Failure to implement these changes to our internal controls or any others that it identifies as necessary to maintain an effective system of internal controls could harm our operating results and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. Any such loss of confidence would have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock. 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to: (i) the Company not maintaining a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting for warrants to purchase common and preferred stock issued in connection with convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock and accounting for non-employee stock options, (ii) insufficient segregation of duties within the accounting function with respect to the review and approval of the underlying accounting records, (iii) the inability to close the Company’s books and timely issue financial statements, and (iv) inadequate management oversight resulting from the departure of all independent non-employee Board members in February 2016. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If the Company does not address the material weaknesses, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as would be possible with an effective control system in place.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting 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 Company’s assets;
     
  Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors; and
     
  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’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. Also, 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.

 

Management has not completed a proper evaluation, risk assessment and monitoring of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). As a result management has concluded controls were not effective and identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The material weaknesses identified are disclosed below.

 

Failure to Segregate Duties. Management has not maintained adequate segregation of duties within the Company due to its reliance on a few individuals to fill multiple roles and responsibilities. Our failure to segregate duties has been a material weakness for the period covering this report.

 

Sufficiency of Accounting Resources. The Company has limited accounting personnel to prepare its financial statements and handle complex accounting transactions. The insufficiency of our accounting resources has been a material weakness for the period covering this report.

 

Evaluation. The Company did not perform a proper evaluation, risk assessment or monitor their internal controls over financial reporting.

 

As a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above, the Company’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

 

This report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

Effective as of April 30, 2015, the Company adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our president or chief executive officer as well as the individuals performing the functions of our chief financial officer, corporate secretary and controller. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to regulatory agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission;
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and
accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

 

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our personnel be afforded full access to our president or chief executive officer with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of our personnel are to be afforded full access to the Board if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our president or chief executive officer.

 

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Board Committees

 

The Board has established an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Governance Committee, an Ethics Committee and a Compensation Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by the independent auditors and review and evaluate the system of internal controls. The Compensation Committee manages any stock option plan we may establish and review and recommend compensation arrangements for the officers. The Nominating and Governance committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities and identify, select and evaluate the Board and committees. The Ethics Committee is responsible for overseeing compliance with the Company’s Code of Ethics.

 

As of the date of this report our sole director serves on each of the Board committees.

Leadership Structure

 

The chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer positions are currently held by the same person. Our bylaws provide the Board with the flexibility to determine whether the two roles should be combined or separated based upon the Company’s needs. The Board believes that having the same individual in the role of the chairman and the chief executive officer is the appropriate structure for the company at this time. The Board believes the current leadership structure serves as an aid in the Board’s oversight of management and it provides the Company with an efficient governance structure.

  

Risk Management 

 

The Board discharges its responsibilities, and assesses the information provided by the Company’s management and the independent auditor, in accordance with its business judgment. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, and management is responsible for conducting business in an ethical and risk mitigating manner where decisions are undertaken with a culture of ownership. The Board oversees management in their duty to manage the risk of our company and each of our subsidiaries. The Board regularly reviews information provided by management as management works to manage risks in the business The Board has also established board committees to assist the full Board’s oversight by focusing on risks related to the particular area of concentration of the relevant committee. For example, the compensation committee oversees risks related to our executive compensation plans and arrangements, the audit committee oversees the financial reporting and control risks and the nominating and governance committee oversees risks associated with the independence of the Board and potential conflicts of interest. If a risk is of sufficient magnitude, a committee reports on the discussions of the applicable relevant risk to the full Board during the committee reports portion of the Board’s meetings. The full Board incorporates the insight provided by these reports into its overall risk management analysis. 

 

Meetings 

 

Subsequent to February 2016, Daniel Yazbeck was the sole board member and authorized all board resolutions through unanimous written consents.

Mr. Yazbeck’s initial base salary is $180,000 per year, subject to periodic review by the CDx board of directors and may be increased in the discretion of CDx.

 

Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Yazbeck is also eligible to participate in all group term life insurance plans, group health plans, accidental death and dismemberment plans and short-term disability programs and other perquisites which are made available to the CDx executives and for which Mr. Yazbeck qualifies. Additionally, Mr. Yazbeck is entitled to be reimbursed for supplemental insurance products including life insurance at a cost of up to an additional $15,000 per year. CDx also provides a leased vehicle with operating expenses, not to exceed $800 per month, which CDx commenced paying in March 2015.

 

Under the terms of the employment agreement, should CDx terminate Mr. Yazbeck’s employment other than for cause during the first 5 years of the employment agreement, or should Mr. Yazbeck resign for good reason, CDx shall have no further obligation under the employment agreement, except that CDx will continue to pay Mr. Yazbeck’s base salary for a two year period, (less, if applicable, any long-term disability payments) and the Target Bonus (as defined below) for a one year period following termination of Mr. Yazbeck’s employment on the normal payroll dates, and in addition one hundred percent (100%) of Mr. Yazbeck’s then-outstanding unvested stock options shall immediately vest.

 

The employment agreement provides that for each fiscal year during the employment agreement, Mr. Yazbeck shall be eligible for an incentive bonus. For each full fiscal year of employment, Mr. Yazbeck shall be eligible for an incentive bonus of up to one hundred percent (100%) of his annual base salary and his performance objectives shall be set such that one hundred percent (100%) completion of his objectives shall entitle him to at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the bonus (the “Target Bonus”). During the first year of employment Mr. Yazbeck shall be eligible for the bonus plan as outlined in the employment agreement. After the first year, the bonus amount will be based on the following factors: (1) the financial performance of CDx as determined and measured by CDx’s board of directors, and (2) Mr. Yazbeck’s achievement of management targets and goals as set by CDx. The bonus amount is intended to reward contribution to CDx’s performance over an entire fiscal year, and on the basis of continuing, cumulative contribution, and consequently will be paid only if Mr. Yazbeck is employed and in good standing at the time of bonus payments, which will occur each quarter. CDx accrued a $45,000 bonus for Mr. Yazbeck in compliance with the terms of his target bonus milestones for completion of a working prototype. The bonus was paid in March 2015.

Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons

 

In reviewing and approving transactions with related persons, the Board considers all material factors in relation to such related person’s role in a proposed transaction, including, without limitation, the related person’s indirect or direct financial interest in the proposed transaction, other interests such related person may have in the proposed transaction, the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction, and whether such transaction is on an equivalent to arms-length basis. After reviewing and factoring all these considerations, the Board, and the disinterested directors, if applicable, determine whether to approve the proposed transaction with the respective related person. While the Company does not have any written polices with respect to review and approval of any such transactions with related persons, the Company believes the processes the Board follows ensures the appropriateness of its entry into such transactions with related persons and that they were entered into on terms on an equivalent basis to an arms-length transaction.
