PART I
The company was founded in Nevada as Freight Solution, Inc. in 2016.
On June 5, 2018, we underwent a change of control. In connection with the change of control, our board of directors and officers was reconstituted through the resignation of Shane Ludington as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Registrant and the appointment of Mr. Eric Rice as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Jeffrey Doiron as President and Chief Operations Officer.
On June 6, 2018 we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Quanta Acquisition Corp. in the state of California, and executed an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, with Bioanomaly, Inc., a California corporation, d/b/a Quanta and Quanta Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Quanta Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Quanta in a statutory reverse triangular merger with Quanta surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary. Following the merger, we adopted our business plan.
On June 6, 2018, we cancelled 15,000,000 shares of common stock acquired through the change in control transaction. As consideration for the merger, we agreed to issue the shareholders of Quanta an aggregate of 21,908,810 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Freight Solution shareholders retained 6,500,000 shares of common stock, which represented 23% of our issued and outstanding stock following the merger.
Simultaneously with the merger, we accepted subscriptions for 6,500,000 shares of common stock in a private placement offering at a purchase price of $0.20 per share for an aggregate offering amount of $1,300,000. We also issued two non-affiliated investors warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share expiring in four years.
Following the consummation of the merger, Quanta shareholders beneficially owned approximately 63% of our issued and outstanding common stock.
On July 11, 2018 the State of Nevada approved our name change from Freight Solution, Inc. to Quanta, Inc.
On April 14, 2020, we issued to Eric Rice, our former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 2,500,000 shares of a newly created class of preferred stock, Series A Preferred Stock.
On November 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Control Block Transfer Agreement with Eric Rice and Phil Sands, pursuant to which, Mr. Rice agreed to transfer 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock to Mr. Sands, representing a transfer of majority voting control over the Company because the holder of such 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock automatically carries a vote equal to 51% on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock. On November 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Cancellation Agreement with Eric Rice, holder of 18,030,032 shares of QNTA Common Stock, pursuant to which Mr. Rice agreed to cancel 17,030,032 shares (16,951,432 shares were cancelled December 29, 2020), and to retain ownership of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
On December 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Medolife Rx, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, (“Medolife”) pursuant to which, the Company agreed to acquire 51% of Medolife in exchange for 9,000 shares of newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. On January 14, 2021, we completed our acquisition of 51% of Medolife and Medolife’s founder, Arthur Mikaelian, PhD, a member of our Board of Directors, officially replaced Phil Sands as our Chief Executive Officer. Phil Sands resigned as an officer and director of the Company on May 10, 2021. Simultaneously therewith, the Company executed a Control Block Transfer Agreement with Phil Sands and Arthur Mikaelian, pursuant to which, effective Mr. Sands agreed to transfer 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock to Dr. Mikaelian, representing a transfer of majority voting control over the Company because the holder of such 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock automatically carries a vote equal to 51% on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Mr. Sands agreed to transfer the Control Block to Arthur Mikaelian in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and for the payment of $22,500 in accrued salary, as well as the payment of health insurance benefits through January of 2022.
Medolife provides contract research services. The Company focuses on research, development, and production of pharmaceutical-grade products, as well as clinical evidence-based nutraceuticals utilizing patented polarization technology. Medolife Rx serves clients in the United States.
In 2007, Medolife began its venom-to-drug research and development concept. In 2008, Medolife identified the Rhopalurus princeps scorpion species, which are endemic to the Dominican Republic, as a possible candidate. The company entered into an agreement with the local Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources to investigate the anticancer properties of scorpion venom peptides. The Company’s research confirmed the anticancer properties of the peptide. In 2010, Medolife registered its product, Escozine, in the Dominican Republic due to the prime material and preliminary studies originating from Dominican Republic. Escozine was registered under Sanitary Registry Number PN2010-0244 as an anti-tumoral alternative medicine in the Dominican Republic, which allowed the company to perform clinical studies and observations in the country.

Quanta Muscle Rubs, which entered the CBD pain-relief rub market (“Muscle Rub”), is the first in a series of products to emerge from the company’s labs. At the heart of its well-documented effectiveness is the proprietary “polarization” process, which uses electromagnetic force to markedly enhance bioactivity at the molecular level. A polarized ingredient creates stronger bonds with the body’s receptors providing higher bioavailability. The company believes this natural solution has nearly limitless applications in the world of plant-based consumer products.
In early 2020, Medolife was preparing to apply to the FDA to initiate the approval process for Escozine as an orphan drug for pancreatic cancer. The Weinberg Group was hired as Medolife’s regulatory compliance consultants for the FDA application and guidelines.
As the COVID-19 pandemic spread during the Spring of 2020, Medolife studied the scorpion venom peptide as a potential COVID-19 drug treatment and began confirming its antiviral properties. The company applied to the FDA as a Pre-Investigational New Drug (PIND), which opened PIND #150335. For PIND Submission and Clinical Trial Strategy in the United States and the Dominican Republic, Medolife has contracted Affinity Bio Partners as a consulting firm on FDA regulatory matters.
In August of 2020, Medolife initiated clinical studies at the Cruz Jiminian Clinic (Clinica Cruz Jiminian) in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, which is a clinic with a license allowing them to treat COVID-19 patients. The study included 450 COVID-19 patients. The observation contained more female than male patients, with 252 female and 198 male participants. Out of 450 participants, there was an even spread among the age groups, with a higher number in the 41-to-50-year-old group.
EFFICACY STUDY.
Escozine was used as a 3-pillar treatment: a Therapeutic, a Palliative, and a Preventative.
Therapeutic
● | Escozine was used as a monotherapy | |
● | All therapeutic participants were tested COVID-19 positive prior to observation. | |
● | 100% of patients were discharged with a negative COVID-19 test result within 7 to 10 days of treatment with Escozine. |
Conclusion: Within 4-5 days, all COVID-19 patients using Escozine tested negative for the virus, indicating Escozine eliminated the COVID-19 virus or accelerated recovery.
Palliative
● | COVID-19 positive patients report a dramatic decrease of symptoms within 2-4 days of Escozine treatments. The World Health Organization Quality of Life (“WHOQOL”) Bref quality of life questionnaire by the World Health Organization (WHO) was used since July 2020 to evaluating symptoms in patients, including: |
○ | Shortness of breath | |
○ | Pain | |
○ | Fatigue | |
○ | Headache | |
○ | Loss of taste | |
○ | Fever | |
○ | Loss of smell (anosmia) |
Conclusion: All participants reported significant improvement on all their COVID-19-related symptoms within 5 days, indicating that Escozine can be used to treat the symptoms of COVID-19.
5 |
Preventative
● | Transmission of virus to treating physicians and nurses of COVID-19 patients is inhibited upon administering Escozine. | |
● | Substantial reduction in infectability and spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. |
Conclusion: All hospital workers remained healthy during the clinical observation while taking Escozine, indicating that Escozine can be used as a preventative measure for COVID-19. The preventative capabilities require additional study.
SAFETY STUDY.
To verify the safety of using Escozine, patients were tested before and after treatment for:
● | Hematology | |
● | Clinical chemistry (Kidney and Liver function tests, Enzymes, Glucose, Calcium and Phosphorus) | |
● | Urine | |
● | CD4/CD8 |
Conclusion: No toxic response was observed in 100% of patients and no side-effects were reported, indicating that Escozine is safe to use for COVID-19 patients.
ADDITIONAL FINDINGS.
During the clinical study, Medolife observed that Escozine prevents Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) caused by COVID-19:
● | During the clinical study, no deaths occurred. | |
● | 40% of the monitored COVID-19 patients who were administered Escozine, had serum creatinine that was higher than normal, indicating AKI before Escozine administration. | |
● | After Escozine administration, most of the patient’s creatinine concentrations dropped or did not change. | |
● | Overall, the frequency of patients that developed normal creatinine levels after Escozine administration was statistically significant (p<0.05). |
Medolife has received a new reply from the FDA on their latest submission of requested data. In the reply, the FDA: |
● | Stated that they acknowledge the Company’s clinical trial as an informal proof-of-concept study | |
● | Laid out very specific guidelines for the next steps required by the regulatory body in order to garner approval for Escozine as a treatment for COVID-19, in which the FDA requested: |
○ | Pharmacokinetic (PK) study, which Medolife has initiated in the United Kingdom. | |
○ | DNA toxicology study, for which Medolife is negotiating with a GLP certified laboratory in the United States. | |
○ | Additional Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) data from Medolife’s contract manufacturer, CURE Pharmaceutical Corporation. |

R&D Expenses related to Escozine.
Over the last 24 months, the company has spent more than $533,000 on research and development related to Escozine as both a treatment of cancer and for COVID-19.
In July of 2021, the company rebranded its line of Quanta CBD-based products to AELIA (pronounced: ay-lee-ah). The company is expanding its line of CBD-based products with new topical muscle relief and cosmetics formulas.
On July 23, 2021, the company submitted a name and symbol change application to FINRA. The company is in the process of changing its name from Quanta to Medolife Rx Holdings.
The company is currently listed as Medolife Rx Holdings, Inc. with the Secretary of State of Nevada.
Overview
Medolife Rx, Inc. is a global biotechnology company with operations in clinical research, manufacturing, and consumer products. Medolife Rx was created through the merger of Medolife, a private company founded by Dr. Arthur Mikaelian, who pioneered the unlaying polarization technology, and Quanta, Inc., a direct-to-consumer wellness product portfolio company. The Company’s lead clinical development programs include Escozine®, a proprietary formulation consisting of small molecule peptides derived from Rhopalurus princeps scorpions, which is amplified by the Company’s polarization technology and is being researched as a treatment of various indications, including COVID-19 and cancer. The Company intends to pursue product registration and drug approval in multiple countries.
With its line of AELIA brand products, Medolife manufactures and distributes consumer wellness products in areas such as pain relief, beauty, and general wellness. AELIA products are designed using Dr. Mikaelian’s polarization technology, which applies advances in quantum biology to increase the potency of active ingredients. Ultimately, Medolife’s mission is to deliver better, more effective ingredients to elevate product efficacy, reduce waste, and facilitate healthier, more sustainable consumption.
Beyond its own clinical and consumer applications, the polarization technology used by Medolife and its subsidiaries has many potential applications. From potentiating bio-ingredients, to producing more-effective carbon-trapping plants, to transformative anti-aging solutions, Medolife could have the opportunity to upend how commercial and pharmaceutical products are made and increase their benefits, while decreasing their chemical concentration.

Discovery Synopsys
Using our product development process and business-to-business and direct-to-consumer sales approaches as a benchmark for future business, we developed the Quanta business model. The company believes that its technology unique ability to strengthen ingredients renders them more potent without added chemicals or penetrating cells means Quanta is in a first-of-its-kind position in the market. As the world’s first company focused on Quantum Biology we sit in a strong, but unique position in the market.
Upcoming products and ventures will be designed to achieve or surpass this level of consumer benefit and uptake.
Quanta Business Model in 3 P’s: Potentiation, Partners, and Profits
After two years we believe the best possible model for the long-term success of the company is collaborating with best-in-class partners through joint ventures for new verticals, products, and research. These joint ventures may involve a jointly owned special purpose entity or they may be entirely based on contractual obligations.
The unique ability to increase the ingredient and product performance opens the doors for major opportunities. Higher performing ingredients mean less is needed to make a strong impact (increased margins, increase overall efficacy). We proved this with our Muscle Rub, which uses approximately 1/3 the CBD of competing products with demonstrably improved results.
The level of potentiation delivered by Quanta allows our partners the unique ability to provide higher-performing products, lower material costs, more competitive pricing and increased profit margins. In short, our partners will be able to make better performing, more affordable products with a higher repeat purchase. This is true disruption and consumer utopia.
We aim to work with groups that specialize in manufacturing, marketing, selling and distributing existing product lines that utilize ingredients we can potentiate. Partners like this facilitate efficient market delivery of joint innovations.
We believe this strategy provides greater shareholder value, enhances revenue potential, defrays upfront expenses and affords us the ability to raise capital.
We believe this type of partnership will afford a company Quanta partners with:
● | Development of emerging products with cutting edge ingredients. | |
● | A product line with a true point of differentiation. | |
● | New SKUs with an increased margin. | |
● | Decreased cost of goods sold. |
11 |
Simultaneously these partnerships can allow Quanta:
● | Greater brand recognition. | |
● | Increased revenue and in turn profitability. | |
● | Quicker timeline to more licensing opportunities because of a track record of success. | |
● | Brand to become synonymous with improving the performance of ingredients within products. |
Manufacturing Partnerships -
Quanta is currently focused on partnering with large-scale manufacturers and distributors able to produce products that meet the requirements of applicable regulations IE: Good Manufacturing Practices to fulfill orders of our own product line. This type of partnership is crucial because it will afford:
● | New product development that meets certification requirements | |
● | Much larger production scale | |
● | Speed to market | |
● | Increased distribution and profitability |
With our licensing capabilities, Quanta believes this technology can render better, more efficacious products that cost less to create but command a higher purchase value because of polarized ingredients. This, in turn, allows companies to diversify their catalog of products while simultaneously providing them with a distinguished advantage - more efficacious ingredients.
Employees
As of the date of this report, Quanta has 4 full time and no part time employees. We believe we enjoy good employee relations. None of our employees are members of any labor union, and we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $2,778,593 of net other expenses, including interest expense of $512,907, private placement costs of $381,084, debt discount amortization of $755,538, loss on debt extinguishment of $1,230,290 and income of $101,226 for the change in the fair market value of derivative liabilities.
Net Loss
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $8,253,124. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $8,164,428. We recorded no provision for federal income taxes for either period.
Basic and diluted loss per share - Basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $0.04 per share. Basic and diluted number of shares outstanding was 224,021,985 for 2021. Basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $0.14 per share. Basic and diluted number of shares outstanding was 59,908,938 for 2020.
Going concern
We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $8,253,124 and used cash in operating activities of $3,418,568, and at December 31, 2021 the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $4,611,314. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. This going concern opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of new debt or equity securities and future reports on our financial statements may also include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern.
At December 31, 2021, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $23,442. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the Company issued convertible notes payable and received net proceeds of $245,275 and received $100,000 and $17,000 as short term loans. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through the next six months. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from its shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity financing
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our financial statements including various allowances and reserves for accounts receivable and inventories, the estimated lives of long-lived assets and trademarks and trademark licenses, as well as claims and contingencies arising out of litigation or other transactions that occur in the normal course of business. The following summarizes our most significant accounting and reporting policies and practices:
13 |
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to, among others, impairment analysis of long-term assets, valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, assumptions used in valuing stock instruments issued for services, assumptions made in valuing derivative liabilities, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Product revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon shipment from our facilities. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. The Company historically has offered no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves against revenue.
Stock Compensation
The Company issues stock options, warrants, and shares of common stock as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.
Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options
The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain, predominantly, fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being equal to a fixed monetary amount. The Company records the convertible note liability at its fixed monetary amount by measuring and recording a premium, as applicable, on the Note date with a charge to interest expense in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that information relating to the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021, and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021 due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on the framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) (COSO). Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.
We identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. 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 our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weaknesses identified include (i) we had an insufficient number of personnel appropriately qualified to perform control design, execution and monitoring activities; (ii) we did not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures, including written policies and procedures to ensure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; (iii) we had ineffective controls over our financial statement close and reporting process and did not provide reasonable assurance that accounts were complete and accurate and agreed to detailed support and that reconciliations of accounts were properly performed, reviewed and approved, (iv) we did not maintain effective controls over the recording and approval of recurring and non-recurring journal entries and (v) we had inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives.
Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Planned Remediation of Material Weaknesses
Our management has been actively engaged in developing and implementing remediation plans to address material weaknesses described above. These remediation efforts are ongoing and include or are expected to include preparation of written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures, increasing personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function, and to hire one or more additional personnel. During the third and fourth quarters of 2020, and as of the date of this Report, we continue to work with an outside consultant with experience and expertise in U.S. GAAP and public company SEC accounting and reporting requirements to assist management with its accounting and reporting of complex and/or non-recurring transactions and related disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, intends that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
None.

Board of Directors
Each director is elected by the Board and serves until his or her successor is elected and qualified, unless he or she resigns or is removed earlier. Each of our officers is elected by the Board to a term of one (1) year and serves until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until he or she is earlier removed from office or resigns.
At the very least all directors will be reimbursed by the Company for expenses incurred in attending directors’ meetings provided that the Company has sufficient resources to pay these expenses. The Company will consider in applying for officers and directors’ liability insurance at such time that it has the financial resources to do so.
17 |
Committees of the Board of Directors
Concurrent with having sufficient members and resources, our Board of Directors intends to establish an audit committee and a compensation committee. The audit committee will review 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 will review and recommend compensation arrangements for the officers and employees. No final determination has yet been made as to the memberships of these committees or when we will have sufficient members to establish committees. We believe that we will need a minimum of three independent directors to have effective committee systems.
As of the date hereof, we have not established any Board committees.
Family Relationships
Dr. Arthur Mikaelian is Grant Mikaelian’s father. No other family relationship exists between any director, executive officer, or any person contemplated to become such.
Director Independence
We currently do not have any independent directors serving on our board of directors.
Possible Potential Conflicts
The OTC Markets, on which we have our shares of common stock quoted, does not currently have any director independence requirements.
Certain conflicts of interest may arise between us and our officer(s) and director(s) in that they may have other business interests in the future to which they devote their attention, and they may be expected to continue to do so although management time must also be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise of such judgment as is consistent with each officer’s understanding of his/her fiduciary duties to us.
Currently we have two officers and two directors and will seek to add additional officer(s) and/or director(s) as and when the proper personnel are located and terms of employment are mutually negotiated and agreed, and we have sufficient capital resources and cash flow to make such offers.
We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
None of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:
● | has had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; | |
● | been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences); | |
● | been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities or banking activities; | |
● | been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated; or | |
● | been subject or a party to or any other disclosable event required by Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K. |
18 |
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Upon incorporation we adopted a written code of ethics applicable to our board of directors, officers and employees in accordance with applicable Federal and states securities laws. Our board of directors shall oversee compliance with the code of ethics as it relates to the Company through an officer designated by the board. Employees are required to report known and suspected breaches of our code of ethics to an appropriate supervisor, or in the case of officers and directors, to a senior officer designated by our board of directors. Our code of ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
● | honest and ethical conduct; | |
● | full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we will file with securities regulators and in our other public communications; | |
● | compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including insider trading compliance; and | |
● | accountability for adherence to the code and prompt internal reporting of violations of the code, including illegal or unethical behavior regarding accounting or auditing practices. |
A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to our Registration Statement filed on Form S-1 on June 1, 2017
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership of our securities (Form 3) and statements of changes in beneficial ownership of our securities (Forms 4 and 5). As of December 31, 2020, our former directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our common stock had not filed the required reports with the SEC.
Based on a review of Forms 3 filed in January 2020, the Company believes that each of our former officers and directors: Eric Rice, Jeffrey Doiron, Blake Gillette and Kirk Westwood filed such forms late. Messrs. Doiron, Gillette and Westwood also each filed a Form 4 in January 2020 each untimely reporting one transaction that occurred in December 2019. Mr. Rice also filed a Form 4 in January 2020 untimely reporting 29 transactions that had occurred between November and December 2019.

None.
Retirement Plans
We do not offer any annuity, pension, or retirement benefits to be paid to any of our officers, directors, or employees in the event of retirement.

Risk Management Considerations
We believe our compensation policies and practices for our employees, including our executive officers, do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table sets forth information known to the Company regarding beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock as of April 14, 2021 by:
● | each person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of outstanding Company common stock; | |
● | each of the Company’s executive officers and directors; and | |
● | all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group. |
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. Common stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding solely for purposes of calculating the percentage of class and percentage of total voting power of the beneficial owner thereof.
The beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock is based on 406,590,858 shares of Company common stock issued and outstanding as of April 11, 2022.
Unless otherwise indicated, management believes that each person named in the table below has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of management common stock beneficially owned by him or her.
Name And Address (1) | Beneficially Owned | Percentage Owned (2) | ||||||
Arthur Mikaelian, PhD, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer – Common shares | 8,000,000 | 3 | % | |||||
Preferred A shares | 2,500,000 | 100 | % | |||||
Preferred B shares | 9,000 | 100 | % | |||||

Arthur Mikaelian was awarded 8,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of which 8,000,000 have vested within 60 days of the filing of this report. In addition, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in conjunction with the closing of the Control Block Transfer Agreement. The preferred shares entitle the holder to voting rights equal to 51% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this report. In addition, the Company issued 9,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The preferred shares entitle the holder to voting rights equal to 54% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this report.
Long-Term Incentive Plans and Awards
We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance. No individual grants or agreements regarding future payouts under non-stock price-based plans have been made to any executive officer or any director or any employee or consultant since our inception; accordingly, no future payouts under non-stock price-based plans or agreement s have been granted or entered into or exercised by our officer or director or employees or consultants since we were founded.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table

Description of our Capital Stock
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 28, 2016. The Company is authorized to issue 2,975,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).
23 |
Preferred Stock
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our board of directors. 2,510,000 shares of Preferred Stock have been designated, issued and were outstanding as of the date of this report. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue up to 22,490,000 shares of Preferred Stock with voting, liquidation, conversion, or other rights that could adversely affect the rights of the holders of the common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.
Among other rights, our board of directors may determine, without further vote or action by our stockholders:
● | the number of shares and the designation of the series; | |
● | whether to pay dividends on the series and, if so, the dividend rate, whether dividends will be cumulative and, if so, from which date or dates, and the relative rights of priority of payment of dividends on shares of the series; | |
● | whether the series will have voting rights in addition to the voting rights provided by law and, if so, the terms of the voting rights; | |
● | whether the series will be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class or series of stock and, if so, the terms and conditions of conversion or exchange; | |
● | whether or not the shares of the series will be redeemable and, if so, the dates, terms and conditions of redemption and whether there will be a sinking fund for the redemption of that series and, if so, the terms and amount of the sinking fund; and | |
● | the rights of the shares of the series in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up and the relative rights or priority, if any, of payment of shares of the series. |
Series A Preferred Stock Description
On April 14, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Nevada designating 2,500,000 shares of its authorized preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to receive any dividends or liquidation preference and are not convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, in the aggregate, have voting power equal to 51% of the total votes of all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company entitled to vote. Accordingly, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to one and one-tenth (1.1) times a fraction, the numerator of which is the shares of outstanding common stock and undesignated preferred stock of the Company and the denominator of which is number of shares of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. With respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or give consent, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote with the holders of the common stock and any outstanding preferred stock without regard to class, except as to those matters on which separate class voting is required by applicable law or the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.
2,500,000 issued and outstanding as of the filing report.
Series B and C Convertible Preferred Stock
On January 12, 2021, the Company filed Certificates of Designation establishing the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in the State of Nevada.
24 |
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock - Description
The terms of the Certificate of Designation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which was filed with the State of Nevada on January 12, 2021, state that the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible into fifty-four percent (54%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a fully converted basis. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible into 6,750 shares of Common Stock (“Conversion Ratio”), at the option of a Holder, at any time and from time to time, from and after the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock; provided that, for a period of twenty for (24) months from the Issuance Date, if the Company issues shares of common stock, including common stock as the result of the purchase, exercise or conversion of outstanding derivative or convertible securities (or securities, including any derivative securities, containing the right to purchase, exercise or convert into shares of common stock) (the “Dilution Shares”) such that the outstanding number of shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis shall be greater than one hundred twelve million five hundred thousand (112,500,000) shares (inclusive of conversions of Series B Preferred Stock at the Conversion Ratio immediately above), then the Conversion Ratio for the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding and unconverted as of the date the Dilution Shares are issued shall be adjusted to equal the Conversion Ratio multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis after the issuance of the Dilution Shares, and the denominator shall be one hundred twelve million five hundred thousand (112,500,000). Each holder of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on any matter that may from time to time be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for a vote, on an as-converted basis, either by written consent or by proxy.
9,000 issued and outstanding as of the filing report.
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock - Description
The terms of the Certificate of Designation of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, which was filed with the State of Nevada on January 12, 2021, state that such Series C Convertible shares have a par value of $0.00001 per share and a stated value of $100 per share (the “Stated Value”) and each Series C Preferred Share shall be convertible into 6,750 shares of Common Stock (“Conversion Ratio”), at the option of a Holder, at any time and from time to time, from and after the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock; provided that, for a period of twenty for (24) months from the Issuance Date, if the Company issues shares of common stock, including common stock as the result of the purchase, exercise or conversion of outstanding derivative or convertible securities (or securities, including any derivative securities, containing the right to purchase, exercise or convert into shares of common stock) (the “Dilution Shares”) such that the outstanding number of shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis shall be greater than one hundred twelve million five hundred thousand (112,500,000) shares (inclusive of conversions of Series C Preferred Stock at the Conversion Ratio immediately above), then the Conversion Ratio for the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding and unconverted as of the date the Dilution Shares are issued shall be adjusted to equal the Conversion Ratio multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis after the issuance of the Dilution Shares, and the denominator shall be one hundred twelve million five hundred thousand (112,500,000). Subject to the beneficial ownership limitations of 9.99%, set forth in Section 5 (b) of the attached Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, each holder of the Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on any matter that may from time to time be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for a vote, on an as converted basis, either by written consent or by proxy.
1,000 issued and outstanding as of the filing report.
The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Certificates of Designation are qualified in their entirety by the Certificates of Designation that were filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 14, 2020 and January 12, 2021.
Any of Preferred Stock or any rights to purchase preferred shares may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us. This may delay, defer or prevent a change of control in our Company or an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The issuance of Preferred Stock also could decrease the amount of earnings attributable to, and assets available for distribution to, the holders of our Common Stock and could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of our Common Stock.
Common Stock
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock. There are 100,975,328 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding at April 9, 2021. On November 20, 2020, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares by Unanimous Written Consent. The Secretary of State of Nevada approved the share increase. The holders of our Common Stock:
● | have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available for payment of dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors; | |
● | are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets available for distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; | |
● | do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights, or redemption or access to any sinking fund; and | |
● | are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters submitted to stockholders for a vote at any meeting of stockholders |

See Plan of Distribution regarding negative implications of being classified as a “Penny Stock.”
Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock
Nevada law does not require stockholder approval for the issuance of authorized shares. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions.
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved Common Stock (or Preferred Stock) may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our board by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of our Common Stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
Shareholder Matters
As an issuer of “penny stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us if our shares are considered to be penny stocks (which they currently are and probably will be for the foreseeable future). Although the federal securities law provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us, including this Annual Report, contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.
As a Nevada corporation, we are subject to the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS” or “Nevada law”). Certain provisions of Nevada law described below create rights that might be deemed material to our shareholders. Other provisions might delay or make more difficult acquisitions of our stock or changes in our control or might also have the effect of preventing changes in our management or might make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that some of our shareholders may believe to be in their best interests.
Directors’ Duties. Section 78.138 of the Nevada law allows our directors and officers, in exercising their powers to further our interests, to consider the interests of our employees, suppliers, creditors and shippers. They can also consider the economy of the state and the nation, the interests of the community and of society and our long-term and short-term interests and shareholders, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by our continued independence. Our directors may resist a change or potential change in control if they, by a majority vote of a quorum, determine that the change or potential change is opposed to or not in our best interest. Our board of directors may consider these interests or have reasonable grounds to believe that, within a reasonable time, any debt which might be created as a result of the change in control would cause our assets to be less than our liabilities, render us insolvent, or cause us to file for bankruptcy protection
Dissenters’ Rights. Among the rights granted under Nevada law which might be considered material is the right for shareholders to dissent from certain corporate actions and obtain payment for their shares (see NRS 92A.380-390). This right is subject to exceptions, summarized below, and arises in the event of mergers or plans of exchange. This right normally applies if shareholder approval of the corporate action is required either by Nevada law or by the terms of the articles of incorporation.
A shareholder does not have the right to dissent with respect to any plan of merger or exchange, if the shares held by the shareholder are part of a class of shares which are:
● | listed on a national securities exchange, | |
● | included in the national market system by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), or \ | |
● | held of record by not less than 2,000 holders. |
This exception notwithstanding, a shareholder will still have a right of dissent if it is provided for in the articles of incorporation or if the shareholders are required under the plan of merger or exchange to accept anything but cash or owner’s interests, or a combination of the two, in the surviving or acquiring entity, or in any other entity falling in any of the three categories described above in this paragraph.
26 |
Inspection Rights. Nevada law also specifies that shareholders are to have the right to inspect company records (see NRS 78.105). This right extends to any person who has been a shareholder of record for at least six months immediately preceding his demand. It also extends to any person holding, or authorized in writing by the holders of, at least 5% of outstanding shares. Shareholders having this right are to be granted inspection rights upon five days’ written notice. The records covered by this right include official copies of:
i. | the articles of incorporation, and all amendments thereto, | |
ii. | bylaws and all amendments thereto; and | |
iii. | a stock ledger or a duplicate stock ledger, revised annually, containing the names, alphabetically arranged, of all persons who are stockholders of the corporation, showing their places of residence, if known, and the number of shares held by them, respectively. |
In lieu of the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger, Nevada law provides that the corporation may keep a statement setting out the name of the custodian of the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger, and the present and complete post office address, including street and number, if any, where the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger specified in this section is kept.
Control Share Acquisitions. Sections 78.378 to 78.3793 of Nevada law contain provisions that may prevent any person acquiring a controlling interest in a Nevada-registered company from exercising voting rights. To the extent that these rights support the voting power of minority shareholders, these rights may also be deemed material. These provisions will be applicable to us as soon as we have 200 shareholders of record with at least 100 of these having addresses in Nevada as reflected on our stock ledger. While we do not yet have the required number of shareholders in Nevada or elsewhere, it is possible that at some future point we will reach these numbers and, accordingly, these provisions will become applicable. We do not intend to notify shareholders when we have reached the number of shareholders specified under these provisions of Nevada law. Shareholders can learn this information pursuant to the inspection rights described above and can see the approximate number of our shareholders by checking under Item 5 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. This form is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days after the close of each fiscal year hereafter. You can view these and our other filings at www.sec.gov in the “EDGAR” database.
Under NRS Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, an acquiring person who acquires a controlling interest in company shares may not exercise voting rights on any of these shares unless these voting rights are granted by a majority vote of our disinterested shareholders at a special shareholders’ meeting held upon the request and at the expense of the acquiring person. If the acquiring person’s shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person acquires control shares with a majority or more of all the voting power, any shareholder, other than the acquiring person, who does not vote for authorizing voting rights for the control shares, is entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares, and we must comply with the demand. An “acquiring person” means any person who, individually or acting with others, acquires or offers to acquire, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest in our shares. “Controlling interest” means the ownership of our outstanding voting shares sufficient to enable the acquiring person, individually or acting with others, directly or indirectly, to exercise one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority, or a majority or more of the voting power of our shares in the election of our directors. Voting rights must be given by a majority of our disinterested shareholders as each threshold is reached or exceeded. “Control shares” means the company’s outstanding voting shares that an acquiring person acquires or offers to acquire in an acquisition or within 90 days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person becomes an acquiring person.
These Nevada statutes do not apply if a company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws in effect on the tenth day following the acquisition of a controlling interest by an acquiring person provide that these provisions do not apply.
According to NRS 78.378, the provisions referred to above will not restrict our directors from taking action to protect the interests of our Company and its shareholders, including without limitation, adopting or executing plans, arrangements or instruments that deny rights, privileges, power or authority to a holder of a specified number of shares or percentage of share ownership or voting power. Likewise, these provisions do not prevent directors or shareholders from including stricter requirements in our articles of incorporation or bylaws relating to the acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exclude us from the restrictions imposed by NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, nor do they impose any more stringent requirements.
27 |
Certain Business Combinations. Sections 78.411 to 78.444 of the Nevada law may restrict our ability to engage in a wide variety of transactions with an “interested shareholder.” As was discussed above in connection with NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, these provisions could be considered material to our shareholders, particularly to minority shareholders. They might also have the effect of delaying or making more difficult acquisitions of our stock or changes in our control. These sections of NRS are applicable to any Nevada company with 200 or more stockholders of record and that has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act, unless the company’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise. By the filing of our Registration Statement on Form S-1, we are not registering our Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. However upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 we became subject to those very statutes.
These provisions of Nevada law prohibit us from engaging in any “combination” with an interested stockholder for three years after the interested stockholder acquired the shares that cause him/her to become an interested shareholder, unless he had prior approval of our board of directors. The term “combination” is described in NRS 78.416 and includes, among other things, mergers, sales or purchases of assets, and issuances or reclassifications of securities. If the combination did not have prior approval, the interested shareholder may proceed after the three-year period only if the shareholder receives approval from a majority of our disinterested shares or the offer meets the requirements for fairness that are specified in NRS 78.441-42. For the above provisions, a “resident domestic corporation” means a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more shareholders. An “interested stockholder” is defined in NSR 78.423 as someone who is either:
● | the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting shares; or | |
● | our affiliate or associate and who within three years immediately before the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding shares at that time. |
Amendments to Bylaws. Our articles of incorporation provide that the power to adopt, alter, amend, or repeal our bylaws is vested exclusively with the board of directors. In exercising this discretion, our board of directors could conceivably alter our bylaws in ways that would affect the rights of our shareholders and the ability of any shareholder or group to effect a change in our control; however, the board would not have the right to do so in a way that would violate law or the applicable terms of our articles of incorporation.
Transfer Agent

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
We have not entered into any transactions with our officers, directors, persons nominated for these positions, beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock, or family members of those persons wherein the amount our total assets for the last two fiscal years. Arthur Mikaelian executed an agreement with the Company for the license of proprietary supplements (refer to Footnote regarding related parties). In addition, Dr. Mikaelian entered into a licensing agreement with the Company in 2019. The agreement has been modified. The agreement predates Dr. Mikaelian’s appointment as an officer and director.
On May 20, 2019, the Company agreed to issue 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with vesting terms to Arthur Mikaelian, Ph.D , a consultant for services. 1,000,000 shares vested immediately, and the balance of 7,000,000 shares have vested 625,000 shares per quarter over 2.8 years. The award predates Dr. Mikaelian’s appointment as an officer and director.
On December 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Medolife Rx, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, (“Medolife Rx”) pursuant to which, the Company agreed to acquire 51% of Medolife Rx from entities controlled by Arthur Mikaelian, Ph.D. in exchange for 9,000 shares of newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Prior to this transaction,
Related Person Transaction Policy
Our Board of Directors is responsible to approve all related party transactions. We have not adopted written policies and procedures specifically for related person transactions.
Director Independence
For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Director” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
According to the NASDAQ definition, Mr. Phillip Sands is not an independent director because he currently holds the title of officer in the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Quanta, Inc. (the “Company”) is an applied science company focused on a range of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, topical relief and cosmetic products utilizing patented polarization technology. The Company’s operations are based in Burbank, California. On April 28, 2016, the Company was incorporated as Freight Solution, Inc. in the State of Nevada. Effective June 6, 2018, the Company (then known as Bioanomaly Inc.) was acquired by Freight Solution in a transaction accounted for as a reverse merger transaction. On July 11, 2018, the Company changed its name to Quanta, Inc.
On December 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Medolife Rx, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, (“Medolife Rx”) pursuant to which, the Company agreed to acquire 51% of Medolife Rx in exchange for 9,000 shares of newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. On January 14, 2021, we completed the acquisition of 51% of Medolife, which has nominal assets, liabilities, and operations. (see Notes 12 and 13).
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $8,253,124 and used cash in operating activities of $3,418,568, and at December 31, 2021, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $4,611,314. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
At December 31, 2021, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $23,442. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the Company issued convertible notes payable and received net proceeds of $245,275 and received $100,000 as a short term loan. Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through the next six months. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from its shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity financing
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quanta Inc, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bioanomaly, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to, among others, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, impairment analysis of long-term assets, valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, assumptions used in valuing stock instruments issued for services, assumptions made in valuing derivative liabilities, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
F-7 |
Product Sales—Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales. Product revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon shipment from our facilities. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time.
License revenue— Revenue from symbolic IP is recognized over the access period to the Company’s IP (see Note 2).
Cost of goods sold includes direct costs and fees related to the sale of our products.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for any uncollectible accounts if deemed necessary, and payments are generally due within thirty to forty-five days of invoicing. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not record any allowance for uncollectible accounts.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and our ability to sell the product(s) concerned. Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. Additionally, our management’s estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. A reserve for raw materials, product obsolescence and packaging for products that may no longer be viable of $13,125 and $9,125 has been established for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the equipment, which is three years, using the straight-line method. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.
Management assesses the carrying value of equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment of its property and equipment.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews its equipment, right-of-use assets, and other long-lived assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no impairment of long-lived assets.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with the guidance of ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based upon the estimated present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement in determining the present value of unpaid lease payments The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit (see Note 5).
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates through the December 31, 2021, reporting date. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period,
F-8 |
Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options
The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain, predominantly, fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being equal to a fixed monetary amount. The Company records the convertible note liability at its fixed monetary amount by measuring and recording a premium, as applicable, on the Note date with a charge to interest expense in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
Stock-based compensation
The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants, shares of common stock, and restricted stock unit awards, as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). Stock-based compensation cost for employees is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.
The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or restricted stock, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, advertising costs totaled $758,236 and $78,895, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
Costs incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, research and development costs totaled $453,500 and $452,443, respectively and include salaries, benefits, and overhead costs of personnel conducting research and development of the Company’s products.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares used in the calculation of basic net loss per common share include vested but unissued shares underlying awards of restricted common stock. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the Company. In computing diluted loss per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding warrants and convertible notes are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Warrants and convertible notes may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.
For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents, e.g. stock options, warrants and convertible notes payable have been excluded from calculation of weighted average shares because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.
F-9 |
As of December 31, 2021, 775,000 options were outstanding of which 1,875,000 were exercisable, warrants of 25,000,000 were outstanding and exercisable, and convertible debt and accrued interest totaling $1,891,920 was convertible into 119,058,345 shares of common stock. It should be noted that contractually the limitations on the third-party notes (and the related warrant) limit the number of shares converted to either 4.99% or 9.99% of the then outstanding shares. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020 potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following:

Total | 133,233,345 | 101,194,539 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.
The Company is required to use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.
The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable, approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any Level 2 liabilities comprised of the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities.
Concentrations of risks
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 no customer accounted for 10% or more of revenue. As of December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 100% of accounts receivable.
Additionally, for the same periods, no vendor accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s cost of goods sold, or accounts payable at period-end.
The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC. At times, deposits held may exceed the amount of insurance provided by the FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses in its cash and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.
Segments
The Company operates in one segment for the development and distribution of our CBD products. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This ASU amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and also improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those annual periods and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 - OPERATING LEASE
At December 31, 2019, the Company had one operating lease for its headquarters office space in Burbank, California (the “First” lease). At December 31, 2019, the balance of the First lease’s operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability were $332,980 and $337,453, respectively.
In February 2020, the Company took possession of a second leased facility consisting of office, research, and production space also located in Burbank, California (the “Second” lease). The Second lease commenced on January 1, 2020, and has a term for 5 years, with annual fixed rental payments ranging from $90,000 to $101,296. The aggregate total fixed rent is approximately $477,822 and resulted in the recognition of an operating lease “ROU” asset and of a corresponding lease liability of $431,402 each. The Company also paid a security deposit of $16,883. At December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any other leases.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company consolidated it operations into the Second lease space. In connection with the First lease that is no longer utilized, the Company recorded an impairment of the related net ROU of $255,093 and wrote off a deposit of $16,769 with the lessor. The total due to the lessor for the First lease is $235,759 and is recorded as lease settlement obligation at December 31, 2020.
At December 31, 2021, the balance of the Second lease’s ROU asset and corresponding lease liability were $279,502 and $315,920, respectively.
ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

The loan term may be extended to April 20, 2025, if mutually agreed to by the Company and lender. We applied ASC 470, Debt, to account for the PPP loan. The PPP loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the PPP loan may only be used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, including qualifying payroll costs, qualifying group health care benefits, qualifying rent and debt obligations, and qualifying utilities. The Company intends to use the entire loan amount for qualifying expenses. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses. The Company intends to apply for forgiveness of the PPP loan with respect to these qualifying expenses, however, we cannot assure that such forgiveness of any portion of the PPP loan will occur. As for the loan forgiveness, the PPP loan was wholly forgiven and a legal release received, the liability was reduced by the amount forgiven and a gain on extinguishment was recorded. The terms of the PPP loan provide for customary events of default including, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and insolvency events.

Monthly principal and interest payments of $0.7 per month are deferred for twelve months, and commence in June 2021. The EID Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The proceeds from the EID Loan must be used for working capital. The Loan contains customary events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The Company was in compliance with the terms of the EID loan as of December 31, 2021. | |
(e) | Between July 7, 2020, and July 29, 2020, the Company issued notes payable to third-party investors totaling $250,000, of which $7,200 was repaid in 2020. Under the terms of the notes, the Company is to pay 50% of the net revenues beginning on August 21, 2020, for a product to be designed and produced by the Company. The product has not been produced and therefore no payments have been made to date. The Company has received a notice of default and demand for payment from three note holders (owed approximately $146,000). The Company has retained counsel who is in discussion with the note holders. |

(b) | As of December 31, 2020, the balance due on convertible notes with fixed conversion prices was $1,550,000. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued eleven convertible notes with fixed conversion prices aggregating $1,722,500. In addition, convertible notes with fixed conversion prices totaling $1,482,845 of principal and $75,576 of accrued interest (total of $1,558,421) were converted into 124,384,253 shares of the Company’s common stock. At December 31, 2021, the balance of the due on convertible notes with fixed conversion prices was $1,550,000. The notes are unsecured, convertible into common stock at prices ranging from $0.015 per share to $0.04 per share, bear interest at 4% to 10% per annum, and mature through November 11, 2022.
At December 31, 2021, the net unamortized balance of debt discounts was $139,014, consisting of debt discount related to fees and original issue discounts (OID). The Company early adopted ASU No. 2020-06 (See Note 1) effective January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021, resulted in a decrease in addition paid in capital of $823,655, a decrease to accumulated deficit of $320,602, and an increase in total stockholders’ deficit of $503,053.
The debt discounts related to fees and OID are amortized over the life of the related notes or are amortized in full upon the conversion of the corresponding note to common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2021, debt discounts of $303,100 were added related to the eleven convertible notes issued above, and amortization of $164,086 was recorded. At December 31, 2021, the net unamortized balance of other debt discounts was $139,014.
On May 4, 2021 (“Effective Date”), the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Clifton Royale Apartments, LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company issued a 4% unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $80,000. On this date, the Company received proceeds of $80,000.
The maturity date of the Note was November 4, 2021. The Note bears interest at a rate of four percent (4%) per annum, which interest shall be paid by the Company to the Investor in Common Stock at any time the Investor sends a notice of conversion to the Company. The Investor is entitled to, at its option, convert all or any amount of the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest of the Investor Note into Common Stock, at any time, at a fixed conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to $0.01 (as defined in the Note) of the Common Stock as reported on the OTC Marketplace exchange upon which the Company’s shares are traded during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding (i) the applicable Effective Date; or (ii) the conversion date. The Company also issued a common stock purchase warrant for 15,000,000 shares (the “Warrant”). |
F-14 |
On September 2, 2020, the Company issued a convertible note (see paragraph a above) having a conversion price less than $0.05 which triggered a term common to all notes in paragraph b, which changed the conversion terms to be the lower of $0.05 or 61% of the lowest traded price during the 15 days prior to the conversion. This event is also considered a default for which a penalty is charged equal to 150% of the accrued interest, default interest and principal, totaling $314,441. At December 31, 2020 the new principal totaled $811,385.
On December 9, 2020, the Company executed amendments to these notes effective September 30, 2020, which extended the maturity dates and fixed the conversion price at $0.015. The Company determined that the change in the note terms resulted in old and new debt instruments that were substantially different, with the old debt being extinguished. Due to the change in conversion terms the notes also require the recognition of the beneficial conversion feature of the increased principal ($314,441 default principal) and lowering of the conversion price resulting in recognition of additional charges. Loss on debt extinguishment was charged $757,293 and debt discounts were charged $314,441 with a credit to additional paid in capital for the debt discounts. In addition $243,285 related to the unamortized discounts as originally recorded was also charged to loss on debt extinguishment for the unamortized balance of debt discounts.

The principal balance of these notes totals $494,645 at December 31, 2020. Beneficial conversion features having a value of $451,646 were also recognized with a charge to debt discount offset with a credit to additional paid in capital. The debt discounts are amortized over the life of the notes or are amortized in full upon the conversion of the corresponding notes to common stock. |
During the year ended December 31, 2020, debt discount of $2,556,602 was recorded, debt discount amortization of $775,538 was recorded, discount of $381,084 was recorded as private placement costs, and $1,085,698 was removed upon debt extinguishment.

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life of the conversion feature of the notes was based on the remaining terms of the related notes. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not customarily paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its common stockholders in the future.

The provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, require an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, based on all available objective evidence, including the existence of cumulative losses, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets were not fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The Company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the valuation allowance. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the valuation allowance increased by $2.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had available Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”s) to reduce future taxable income. For Federal purposes the amounts available were approximately $10.1 million and $10.1 million, respectively. For state purposes approximately $8.8 million and $8.8 was available at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Federal carryforwards expire on various dates through 2040 and the state carryforwards expire through 2037. Due to restrictions imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 regarding substantial changes in ownership of companies with loss carryforwards, the utilization of the Company’s NOL may be limited as a result of changes in stock ownership. NOLs incurred subsequent to the latest change in control are not subject to the limitation.
The Company’s operations are based in California and it is subject to Federal and California state income tax. Tax years after 2017 are open to examination by United States and state tax authorities.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740, which requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any tax benefit can be recorded in the financial statements.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued options exercisable into 3,290,000 shares of common stock. The options initially had an exercise price of $0.23 per share, and this was amended in May 2020 to $0.10 per share.

F-18 |
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued options exercisable into 900,000 shares of common stock. 600,000 of the options vested immediately, and 300,000 of the options vest over 24 months. The options have an exercise price of $0.10 to $0.14 per share, and expire in ten years. Total fair value of these options at grant date was approximately $85,000 which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following average assumption: stock price $0.14 per share, expected term ranging from five years, volatility 236%, dividend rate of 0% and risk-free interest rate of 0.17%.
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $34,905 and $290,132, respectively, of compensation expense relating to vested stock options. As of December 31, 2021, the amount of unvested compensation related to stock options was approximately $48,000 which will be recorded as an expense in future periods as the options vest.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement corresponding with the expected term of the share option award; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that share option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common stock; and the expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
COVID-19
The global outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies and has negatively impacted businesses, workforces, customers, and created significant volatility of financial markets. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, the length of restrictions and business closures, and the impact on capital and financial markets, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our products and harm our business and results of operations. In the quarters ended June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2020, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic did impact our operating results as shipments to customers in the second, third and fourth quarters were down 13%, 10% and 55% respectively from the first quarter of the year. However, we have not observed any material impairments of our assets or a significant change in the fair value of our assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, restrictions resulting from COVID-19 on general economic conditions could, among other things, impair our ability to raise capital when needed. This situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.
Contingencies include lease agreements including the abandoned lease discussed at footnote 3 along with the lease for the headquarters office. In addition, the license agreement as outlined at footnote 2 poses contingent liabilities.
It is management’s opinion that there are not material contingent liabilities that are not disclosed in the financial statements and footnote disclosures as of December 31, 2021.
NOTE 12 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On December 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Medolife Rx, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, (“Medolife Rx”) pursuant to which, the Company agreed to acquire 51% of Medolife Rx from entities controlled by Arthur G.

In connection with the acquisition of 51% of Medolife Rx, Dr. Mikaelian was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, and also appointed to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, a role which Dr. Mikaelian assumed on January 14, 2021.
The Company has an agreement with Dr. Mikaelian in consideration of the Company’s exclusive use of patented technology developed by Dr. Mikaelian.

On November 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Control Block Transfer Agreement with Eric Rice and Phillip Sands, pursuant to which, Mr. Rice agreed to transfer 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock to Mr. Sands, representing a transfer of majority voting control over the Company because the holder of such 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock automatically carries a vote equal to 51% on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Mr. Rice agreed to transfer the Control Block to Phillip Sands in order to consummate the Company’s transition into a holding company (transition phase), without requiring the Company to further dilute its stock through the issuance of new shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded revenue of $198,800 from a company controlled by a family member of the Company’s CEO. During the year ended, the related accounts receivable balance was zero, with $69,500 having been collected and the remaining balance of $129,300 written off to bad debts.

Management has determined that the net asset value of Medolife Rx is not material as of the date of the acquisition of its 51% interest and therefore no valuation is performed. As the acquisition will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, proforma disclosures have not been presented.
