FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

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

 

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

 

 

 

 

PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Organization

 

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

 

On April 9, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CDx Merger Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and CDx, Inc. (“CDx”), a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was to merge with and into CDx with CDx surviving the merger as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). The Merger is treated as a reverse acquisition of the Company, a public shell company, for financial accounting and reporting purposes. As such, CDx is treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes while the Company is treated as the acquired entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes. On April 24, 2015, in anticipation of closing the Merger, the Company changed its name to MyDx, Inc. On April 30, 2015, the Merger was consummated.

 

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

 

Business

 

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

 

1) Consumer Products – smart devices and consumables
2) Data Analytics – pre-clinical chemical analysis and patient feedback ecosystem
3) Biopharmaceuticals – identifying ‘green Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients TM , (gAPI TM ) and corresponding formulations
4) Software as a Service (SaaS) – Software services for prescribers, patient groups, cultivators, and regulators

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

MyDx, and it’s wholly owned subsidiary, CDx, has successfully executed on a four-year business plan. The company has received cash investment of approximately $9 million to date. In 2013, CDx was established with $210,000 in seed funding and support from an entity affiliated with Mr. Yazbeck to secure strategic development partners and establish a product and IP portfolio. In 2014, CDx developed, protected, manufactured and marketed the beta version of its first product, the MyDx Analyzer, through a crowdfunding campaign that launched in January 2014 as well as a financing round where $600,000 of shares of CDx, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock was sold through April 2014 and $2 million in convertible notes were issued through September 2014. The Beta product was released in the first quarter of 2015, at which point $4,800,000 of shares of Series B Preferred Stock in CDx, Inc. was sold followed by the completion of the Merger. The official product was released in the third quarter of 2015 and the company received an additional $250,000 loan from an entity affiliated with Mr. Yazbeck to help finance its operations in the fourth quarter. In 2016, we believe the Company continued to penetrate the market and increased brand recognition. In addition, in 2016, the Company launched additional products that tests for pesticides in food and chemicals in water and financed the company’s operations primarily through the issuance of convertible debt.

Business Segments (Cannabis Industry Focus)

 

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

 

1. Consumer Products

 

Smart Devices & Consumables

 

1) CannaDx TM

 

The cannabis industry’s first hand-held cannabis sensor and analyzer with disposable single use inserts.
  Comes with a mobile app that acts as a ‘virtual budtender’.
 

Analyzes cannabis sample and provides a Total Canna Profile TM (TCP), a more complete chemical profile to include THC and the most prevalent cannabinoids and terpenes found in cannabis plants.

 

Cannabinoids such as THC and CBD have been reported to bind the CB1 and CB2 receptors found throughout the human body and have been reported to provide relief to an array of symptoms, including pain, nausea, and inflammation to name a few. Terpenes, which have been reported to compound the effects of cannabinoids on the body via an “Entourage Effect”, are also important in determining the overall physiological effects various cannabis chemical profiles.

  Enables users to log their ailments and side effects and tie those back to the exact chemical profile
  Provides strain recommendations based on desired “relief” input based on crowdsourced community feedback.

 

2) Delivery Devices

 

  MyDx plans to develop smart hardware that gather user data
Integrated with Bluetooth as well as other technologies that will allow for mobile-app control, dose restrictions, safety controls, and usage statistics.
We plan to OEM these product to third-party customers

 

3) MyDx 2

 

MyDx plans to develop he first touchscreen kitchen tablet in the market with integrated MyDx sensor reading capability
Sensor lineup to include OrganaDx, AquaDx, and AeroDx.
Company plans to offer CannaDx data portal management ability in MyDx 2.

 

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

 

2. Data Analytics

 

Pre-Clinical Chemical Analysis and Patient Feedback Ecosystem

 

MyDx will have four classes of data and algorithms:

 

1) User Data

 

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

 

2) Chemical Composition Data

 

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

 

3) User Feedback

 

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

 

4) Usage Statistics

 

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

 

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

 

  2  

 

 

3. Biopharmaceutical

 

Identifying ‘green Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients TM ’ (gAPI TM ) and corresponding formulations

 

1) Sale and License of Product Formulations

 

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

 

2) Sale of green Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (gAPI TM )

 

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

 

4. SaaS (Software as a Service)

 

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

 

1) MyDx App

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Recent Highlights

 

The following are some of our 2016 achievements:

 

  CannaDx TM , as a standalone business, has generated more than $1 million in revenue since commercialization began in 2015, mainly from online sales, and is helping thousands of consumers Trust & Verify ® their cannabis every day.

  AquaDx TM single use sensors were launched to test for harmful chemicals in water, helping Flint, Michigan and Tampa, Florida residents in critical areas of need Trust & Verify ® the safety of their drinking water, as featured by CNN and ABC News.

OrganaDx TM single use sensors were launched to test for pesticides and heavy metals in cannabis and food, as featured by NBC News.
CannaDx TM proprietary database more than doubled in size, to tens of thousands of crowdsourced ailments and feelings associated with unique chemical profile datapoints. Backed by pharmacological insights shared in our MyDx White Paper, we believe we are positioned to play an important role in understanding the science of cannabis and its future role in the biopharmaceutical industry.

Product Overview: MyDx

 

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

 

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

 

Product Features/MyDx Service

 

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

 

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

 

The MyDx App 

 

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

 

Target Audiences 

 

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

 

  4  

 

 

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

Distribution and Marketing Strategy  

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

Market Overview  

Cannabis Market (CannaDx TM )

According to ProCon.org, as of March 23, 2017, 28 states and the District of Columbia have passed regulations permitting cannabis use in one form or another.  According to cannabis research firm Arcview, sales of legal weed in North America rose by 34% to $6.9 billion in 2016, and based on estimates from investment firm Cowen & Co., U.S. legal sales could reach $50 billion by 2026. For added context, ArcView estimates that North American black market sales totaled $46.4 billion last year. 

Given the relative youth of the industry, and the lack of federal legalization of either medical or recreational cannabis use, few practical cannabis quality control solutions exist today. Medicinal cannabis patients therefore often have a very difficult time understanding what psychotropic effects they should expect before consuming a particular strain of cannabis, even when the strain is labelled with the percentage concentration of THC or CBD, two common cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant that impact its potency and impact on the user. Both medical cannabis patients and recreational consumers deserve a practical and affordable solution to gain control over what to expect from a given strain before choosing to put it into their body. MyDx, used in conjunction with the app, is designed to enable those individuals to gain control over what they are consuming and to achieve some consistency in how they are feeling or how effectively certain symptoms are being treated. This is accomplished by having the user enter ailment relief data into the app and comparing that feeling data to the specific chemical composition of the cannabis ingested. In such manner, a database can be developed enabling MyDx users to be more deliberate as to the strain and chemical features of the cannabis they choose to procure in the future. MyDx users may also elect to develop and maintain their own personal database within the app.   

Water Quality Testing Market (AquaDx TM )

According to a market research report published by MarketsandMarkets, the global Water Testing & Analysis Instruments Market was valued at $2.7 billion in 2014 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2014 to 2019 to reach a value of $3.5 billion by 2019. Trends such as increasing government regulations for water quality, environmental concerns such as water contamination & pollution, and increasing industrialization & urbanization are driving the global water testing & analysis market. The European region is the leading global manufacturer and exporter of water testing & analysis instruments.  

Food Satety Testing Market (OrganaDx TM )

According to a market research report published by MarketsandMarkets, the food safety testing market, in terms of value, is projected to reach around USD 17.16 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of around 7.4% from 2016. Global increase in outbreaks of foodborne illnesses and increase in regulations in developed countries are some of the factors driving this market. The food safety testing market is segmented on the basis of contaminant, food tested, technology, and region. 

Air Quality Testing Market (AeroDx ® )

According to a market research report published by MarketsandMarkets, the global Air Quality Equipment Market is expected to reach $6.147 Billion by 2019 from $3.965 Billion in 2014, growing at a CAGR of 9.15% between 2014 and 2019. The rising air pollution will be the most important growth drivers for this market in the forecast period (2012-2019). Moreover, increased health concerns and stringent air pollution control norms by government organizations are also expected to drive the market growth. However, high cost of equipment and lack of government funding for research may hinder the growth of this market.

Competition

 

Chemical Analysis Smart Devices

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Research and Development

 

The Company incurred research and development expenses of approximately $686,000 and $1,695,000 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 related to the development of the MyDx Analyzer and the sensors. 

  

Manufacturing

 

We do not intend to manufacture our products in our own facilities. Rather, we intend to outsource the manufacture of our products to one or more independent manufacturers that also manufacture electronic products for a number of other businesses. The manufacturer will be expected to test our products and conduct quality control in all aspects of manufacturing. During this testing, we expect to be making further adjustments to our formulations. While we believe that we may be able to contract or engage a manufacturer to perform these functions, we may not be able to do so. As discussed above (in Proposed Products ), we will modify our plan of operations in a manner consistent with our at-that-time financial situation.

 

We currently have an arrangement with All Quality & Services, Inc. a Silicon Valley based Electronics Manufacturing Services provider to manufacture and assemble our current MyDx analyzer. We also have a manufacturing agreement with Arrow Electronics, Inc., a fortune 100 company with headquarters in Denver, CO, to support manufacturing and assembly of our future MyDx products.

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

 

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

 

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

 

Government Regulations

 

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

 

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

  

Subsidiary

 

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

 

  8  

 

 

Employees

 

As of March 23, 2017, we had 3 officers, 1 full-time employee and 5 dedicated independent contractors and consultants. For the immediate future, we intend to use independent contractors and consultants to assist in many aspects of our business on an as needed basis pending financial resources being available. Even if we receive sufficient funding to hire additional employees, we may rely principally on independent contractors for substantially all of our technical and manufacturing needs.

 

We have one written employment agreement with Mr. Yazbeck. Currently, we are not actively seeking additional employees or engaging any consultants through a formal written agreement or contract. Services are provided on an as-needed basis. This may change in the event that we are able to secure financing through equity or loans to the Company.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

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

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

We incurred a net loss of approximately $16,502,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and a cumulative net loss of approximately $26,399,000 from September 16, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2016.

 

  9  

 

 

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

 

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

 

Negative Operating Cash Flow

 

We reported negative cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. It is anticipated that we will continue to report negative operating cash flow in future periods until we are able to increase our product sales volumes.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  10  

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

   

Our cash balance as of December 31, 2016 was approximately $38,000. We do not have adequate funds to fully develop our business, and we need other capital investment to fully implement our business plans. Our current estimate of additional funds required for the next year is $750,000. We do not have any contracts or commitments for additional funding, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our development plans. In that event, current stockholders would likely experience a loss of most or all of their investment. Additional funding that we do obtain may be dilutive to the interests of existing stockholders.

 

While in 2016 we satisfied over $1.5 million in convertible debt used to finance the Company's critical obligations in 2015 and 2016, this same convertible debt used to finance our operations has resulted in heavy dilution and a sharp decline in share price.  The Company expects to continue to experience dilution in the near future.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  11  

 

 

We have experienced recent management and director changes.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  12  

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Initially we will be dependent on one product.

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

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

 

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

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

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

  14  

 

 

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

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

We have incurred costs and might incur additional costs related to the Merger.

 

We have incurred various non-recurring costs associated with the Merger, including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, and financial advisory fees. The substantial majority of our non-recurring expenses have been composed of these costs and expenses related to the execution of the acquisition.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

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

 

  15  

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  16  

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

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

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

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

 

  18  

 

 

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

 

A significant numbers of shares of our common stock held by our officers, directors and employees may become tradable in the near future based on meeting the restrictions pursuant to Rule 144. Such future transactions may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  19  

 

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, which may be detrimental to investors.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

There are delays in order communication on the OTCQB.  

 

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

 

There is a risk of market fraud on the OTCQB.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  20  

 

 

Increased dealer compensation could adversely affect our stock price.

 

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

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

In the future, we may issue additional authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of ownership interests of our present stockholders. We expect to need to issue a substantial number of shares of common stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, raising additional capital in the future to fund our operations, and other business purposes. We expect to authorize an additional three million shares of common stock for issuance under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan in connection with the Merger, and plan to issue equity awards to management and employees under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. Additional shares of common stock issued by us in the future will dilute an investor’s investment in the Company.

 

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

 

As of the date of this Report, Mr. Yazbeck, our sole officer and sole member of our Board, and affiliated entities beneficially controls, in the aggregate, approximately 52% of our outstanding voting stock. Mr. Yazbeck owns 2.7% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding, however, via his control of the “super-voting” shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Mr. Yazbeck controls a majority of our voting stock. As a result, Mr. Yazbeck has the ability to exert substantial influence over the election of the Board and the outcome of issues requiring approval by our stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company that may be favored by other stockholders. This could prevent transactions in which stockholders might otherwise recover a premium for their shares over current market prices. This concentration of ownership and influence in management and the Board’s decision-making could also harm the price of our capital stock by, among other things, discouraging a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of our capital stock (whether by making a tender offer or otherwise) or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company.

 

  21  

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we and our auditors identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to the Company not maintaining a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting for warrants to purchase common and preferred stock issued in connection with convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock and accounting for non-employee stock options. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If the Company does not address the material weaknesses, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as would be possible with an effective control system in place.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

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

 

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

 

  22  

 

 

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

 

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

 

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

We incurred a net loss of approximately $16,502,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and a cumulative net loss of approximately $26,399,000 from September 16, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2016.

 

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 

None.

 

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

 

The Company owns no properties. On April 1, 2015, the Company signed a 31-month lease at $7,968 per month for approximately 6,200 square feet of office and laboratory space at 6335 Ferris Square, Suite B, San Diego, California. The facility includes approximately 1,500 square feet of laboratory space.

 

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

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

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

 

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

Shareholders of Record

 

As of March 23, 2017, an aggregate of 1,450,204,599 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding and owned by approximately 115 shareholders of record. Due to shares of our Common Stock being held by depositaries, brokers and other nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of stockholders of record.

 

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

The Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations below is based upon only the financial performance of MyDx. MyDx’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 .

 

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

 

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

 

For the Year Ended December 31, 2016

 

Overview

 

MyDx is consumer products and data analytics company leveraging proprietary science and technology to develop consumer products initially focused on the cannabis industry.

 

The Company’s first product, MyDx ® , also known as “My Diagnostic”, is a multiuse hand-held chemical analyzer made for consumers and professional users. MyDx is intended to allow consumers to Trust & Verify ® what they put into their mind and body by using one device with interchangeable sensors to test for pesticides in plants, chemicals in water, toxins in the air, and the safety and potency of cannabis samples.

 

In our 2015 year end letter to shareholders, we highlighted the launch of the MyDx Analyzer with the CannaDx sensor as well as becoming a public company as the primary milestones achieved that year, and set a goal to focus on two key pillars of success in 2016: product sales and market liquidity.  We believe we have achieved our 2016 goals.

 

2016 Key Milestones Achieved

 

Product & Market

 

  CannaDx TM , as a standalone business, has generated approximately $1 million in revenue since commercialization began in 2015, mainly from online sales, and is helping thousands of consumers Trust & Verify ® their cannabis every day.

  AquaDx TM single use sensors were launched to test for harmful chemicals in water, helping Flint, Michigan and Tampa, Florida residents in critical areas of need Trust & Verify ® the safety of their drinking water, as featured by CNN and ABC News.

OrganaDx TM single use sensors were launched to test for pesticides and heavy metals in cannabis and food, as featured by NBC News.
CannaDx TM proprietary database more than doubled in size, to tens of thousands of crowdsourced ailments and feelings associated with unique chemical profile datapoints. Backed by pharmacological insights shared in our MyDx White Paper, we believe we are positioned to play an important role in understanding the science of cannabis and its future role in the biopharmaceutical industry.

Corporate and Finance

 

1.

During the course of the restructuring, our goal was to become cash flow positive. However, it is clear that our plan will require, as financing permits, to have significant R&D and market penetration expenses in the near future and in that instance, we do not plan to be cashflow positive or profitable as we gain market share.

 

We believe the Company may be cashflow positive and profitable in 2017 through its active reduction in cash burn and increasing sales and margins.
2. We satisfied over $1.5M in convertible debt used to finance the Company's critical obligations in 2015 and 2016, including supporting R&D and daily operations, paying off and renegotiating minimum royalty obligations with our sensor developer from $100,000 per year to $15,000 per year, paying off debt that was depleting our daily cashflow, and investing in expansion of our products overseas using a higher margin licensing business model. This same convertible debt used to finance our operations has resulted in heavy dilution and a sharp decline in share price.  The Company expects to continue to experience dilution in the near future.

  3. The Company has obtained shareholder approval to effect, in the Board’s discretion, a reverse stock split. By December 24, 2017, the Company may effect a reverse stock split because it believes that such an action may:

1. Facilitate potential higher levels of institutional stock ownership where investment policies generally prohibit investment in lower priced securities.
2. Create a capital structure that better reflects a potentially profitable company.
3. Better match the number of shares outstanding with the size of the Company in terms of market capitalization, shareholder equity, operations and potential earnings.
4. Better enable the company to raise funds.

 

The Board shall maintain the right to elect not to proceed with the reverse split if it determines that this proposal is no longer in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders.

 

Looking forward to 2017:

 

Our main objective at this time is to complete the restructuring of MyDx to clean up the balance sheet, recruit and incentivize key executives, managers and advisors, expand the science and technology team, and re-position the Company to attract long term growth capital that is required to:

 

  1. Leverage MyDx’s proprietary database to generate new revenues streams for the company by producing and licensing formulated products and corresponding green Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (gAPI TM )for the cannabis industry.

2. Increase market share in areas of critical national need with the CannaDx, OrganaDx, and AquaDx applications globally through product enhancements, industry partnerships, and global sales and marketing efforts.
3. Develop and integrate MyDx products into established Smart Home applications, a.k.a. the Internet of Things (IoT).
4. Invest in MyDx next generation technology to create the most practical, reliable and affordable chemical analysis platform in the world for the everyday consumer and commercial operator.

 

Plan of Operations

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $16,501,889 and $6,367,297, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $26,399,453 as of December 31, 2016.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal sources of cash have been proceeds from private placements of common and preferred stock, incurrence of debt and the sale of equity securities held as investments.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,347,268 with cash of $38,203. Our cash decreased by approximately $105,477 during the year ended December 31, 2016. 

 

  27  

 

 

Negative Operating Cash Flow

 

We reported negative cash flow from operations for the years December 31, 2016 and 2015. It is anticipated that we will continue to report negative operating cash flow in future periods, likely until one or more of our products generate sufficient revenues to cover our operating expenses. If any of the warrants are exercised, all net proceeds of the warrant exercise will be used for working capital to fund negative operating cash flow.

 

Our cash balance of $38,203 will not be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months. Additionally, if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to pay our expenses, we will need to raise additional funds to continue our operations. We have historically financed our operations through private equity and debt financings. We do not have any commitments for financing at this time, and financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain debt or equity financing in amounts sufficient to fund our operations, if necessary, we will be forced to suspend or curtail our operations. In that event, current stockholders would likely experience a loss of most or all of their investment. Additional funding that we do obtain may be dilutive to the interests of existing stockholders. 

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015

 

Revenue

 

For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had net revenue of $808,176 and $383,396, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had completed its research and development stage and shipped its first product in the third quarter.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

 

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were 40% and 42%, respectively. The gross margin was positively affected by the sale of test result data, licensing and tech transfer revenue which had minimal related cost of goods. The effective gross margin for product sales was 29%. This effective gross margin includes returns and allowances and discounts of approximately 8%. Excluding returns and allowances and discounts, our gross profit percentage was approximately 34% which is below our expected normal gross margin of 50%.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred operating expenses in the amount of $4,542,036 compared to $6,080,534 for the year ended December 31, 2015. These operating expenses were composed of research and development costs, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. The decrease is mainly resulted from the decrease of general and administrative expenses and research and development activities with the departure of certain independent contractors and officers of the Company which were partially offset by the increase in marketing expenses for our overseas territory development efforts in China P.R.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses primarily consist of engineering and product development, incurred in the design, development, testing and enhancement of our products. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company expended $686,095 for various research and development projects for hardware, database, software and sensor development as compared to $1,694,521 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease of $1,008,426, or 60%, resulted primarily from decreases of approximately $383,000 in salaries, wages and benefits; $367,000 in independent contractors; $261,000 in hardware product development samples and materials; $164,000 in stock-based compensation; $60,000 in tooling charges; $40,000 in product samples; and $34,000 in travel and entertainment expenses. These decreases were partially offset by increases of approximately $299,000 in employee recruiting fees and $30,000 in depreciation expense.

 

  28  

 

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and benefits, consulting fees for third-party services and general marketing expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company expended $1,967,786 as compared to $1,026,211 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase of $941,575, or 92%, resulted primarily from increases of $1,470,000 in territorial development fees; $104,000 in employee recruiting fees; $26,000 in advertising; $36,000 in sales commissions; and, $10,000 in amortization. These increases were partially offset by decreases of approximately $314,000 in salaries, wages and benefits; $254,000 in stock-based compensation; $45,000 in travel and entertainment expenses; $18,000 in website maintenance; $9,000 in trade show expenses; $7,000 in telephone and communications expenses; $1,000 in purchases of non-capitalized equipment and software.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

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

 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company expended $1,888,155 as compared to $3,359,802 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease of $1,471,647, or 44%, resulted primarily from decreases of $555,000 in independent contractors; $273,000 in stock-based compensation; $204,000 in salaries, wages and benefits; $165,000 in legal fees; $76,000 in public company expenses; $68,000 in organization expenses related to the merger; $66,000 in rent and facilities costs; $55,000 in travel and entertainment; and $15,000 in board of directors’ fees; These decreases were partially offset by increases of approximately $17,000 in accounting fees; $14,000 in insurance premiums; $11,000 in other professional fees; and $6,000 in impairment of assets.

 

Interest Expense

 

The increase of $2,275,410, or 508%, resulted primarily from the increase of interest expense related to the convertible notes payable and amortization of debt issuance costs related to the convertible notes payable outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Changes in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

 

The $1,013,901 gain on changes in fair value of derivative liabilities resulted from the changes in fair value of embedded conversion feature associated from the convertible notes payables.

 

Loss on settlement of liabilities

 

Loss on settlement of debt totaled $392,360 reflects the discounted value share conversion prices versus the market values for shares of common stock issued in settlement of debts. Loss on settlement of accrued wages totaled $5,691,993 reflects the value of the shares issued in lieu of accrued payroll.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since its inception, capital raised by the Company has been used primarily for the Company’s research and development efforts and to support its operations. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had remaining cash of $38,203 with a net working capital deficit of $3,347,268. As a result of the Company’s significant operating expenditures and the lack of significant product sales revenue, we expect to incur losses from operations for the near future and will be required to seek additional capital to sustain our operations.

 

We reported negative cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2016. It is anticipated that we will continue to report negative operating cash flow in future periods, likely until one or more of our products generate sufficient revenue to cover our operating expenses. If any of the warrants are exercised, all net proceeds of the warrant exercise will be used for working capital to fund negative operating cash flow.

 

  29  

 

 

Our cash balance of $38,203 will not be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. Additionally, if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to pay our expenses, we will need to raise additional funds to continue our operations. We have historically financed our operations through private equity and debt financings. Recent economic turmoil and severe lack of liquidity in the debt capital markets together with volatility and rapidly falling prices in the equity capital markets have severely and adversely affected capital raising opportunities. We do not have any commitments for financing at this time, and financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain debt or equity financing in amounts sufficient to fund our operations, if necessary, we will be forced to suspend or curtail our operations. In that event, current stockholders would likely experience a loss of most or all of their investment. Additional funding that we do obtain may be dilutive to the interests of existing stockholders.

 

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

Current assets for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased compared to December 31, 2015 primarily due to a decrease in inventories and cash.

 

Current liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased compared to December 31, 2015 primarily due to an increase in accounts payable; asset based loans; derivative liability; plus, an increase in the current portion of convertible notes payable.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities 

 

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

 

Cash used in operating activities consist of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, primarily equity-based compensation expense, common stock issued in exchange for services, accretion of debt discount and debt issuance costs on convertible notes and the change in fair value of derivative liabilities due primarily to the mark to market of the Company’s derivatives embedded in the convertible notes, and a loss of settlement of liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.

 

In addition, the net decrease in cash from changes in working capital activities from the year ended December 31, 2015 to the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily consisted of an increase in accounts receivable, a decrease in inventory, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and an increase in customer deposits. 

 

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

 

For the year ended December, 2016 and 2015 cash used in investing activities totaled zero and $196,589, respectively, which resulted from purchases of equipment for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, financing activities provided cash of $713,610 which resulted from an increase of approximately $300,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of asset based loans, net of issuance costs, $521,622 in proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable, net of issuance costs; and $160,000 in proceeds from note payable–related party, For the year ended December 31, 2015, financing activities provided approximately $4,061,000 which resulted from an increase of approximately $3,633,000 in proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable, net of issuance costs; $250,000 in proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred stock, net of issuance costs; $175,000 in proceeds from note payable-related party; and $3,000 in proceeds from issuance of common stock from exercise of stock options.

 

Going Concern

 

At December 31, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $26,399,453 and incurred a net loss of $16,501,889 for the year ended December 31, 2016.  We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

MyDx, Inc.

6335 Ferris Square, Suite B

San Diego, CA 92121

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MyDx, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2016 and their related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the for year then ended December 31, 2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and for the year then ended were audited by other auditors, whose report dated April 27, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

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

 

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

2. Nature of Business

 

We are a science and technology company that has created the first battery operated, handheld, electronic analyzer for consumers. Our products leverage the latest nanotechnology to accurately measure chemicals of interest in nearly any solid, liquid, or gas sample, anywhere, anytime. Our mission is to enable people to live a healthier life by revealing the purity of certain compounds they eat, drink and inhale in real time through a device they can hold in the palm of their hand. We believe that the broad application and ease of use of our technology puts us in an ideal position to provide consumers with a practical and affordable way to Trust & Verify ® what they are putting into their bodies without leaving the comfort of their homes. 

 

Our initial product which we introduced in the third quarter of 2015, utilizes the CannaDx sensor to allow consumers to analyze cannabis. During the third quarter of 2016 we introduced our AquaDx (water) and OrganaDx (food) sensors. Our product roadmap includes future development and commercialization of these sensors and our AeroDx (air) sensor in 2017. We will require substantial additional capital to finalize development and commercialize of our existing sensors and the AeroDx.

 

We have a portfolio of intellectual property rights covering principles and enabling instrumentation of chemical sensing technology across solid, liquid, and gas samples, including certain patented and patent pending technologies from a third party pursuant to a joint development agreement.

As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2016, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the reporting period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is attempting to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues; however, its cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. The Company has a limited operating history and its prospects are subject to risks, expenses and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies. These risks include, but are not limited to, the uncertainty of availability of financing and the uncertainty of achieving future profitability. Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise funds through the capital markets. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise capital or reduce certain discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

 

F- 7

 

 

We reported negative cash flow from operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. It is anticipated that we will continue to report negative operating cash flow in future periods, likely until one or more of our products generates sufficient revenue to cover our operating expenses. If any of the warrants are exercised, all net proceeds of the warrant exercise will be used for working capital to fund negative operating cash flow.

 

Our cash balance of $38,203 at December 31, 2016 will not be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months. Additionally, if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to pay our expenses, we will need to raise additional funds to continue our operations. We have historically financed our operations through private equity and debt financings. The delays in our ability to ship products and generate revenues may have adversely affected our capital raising opportunities. We do not have any commitments for financing at this time, and financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain debt or equity financing in amounts sufficient to fund our operations, if necessary, we will be forced to suspend or curtail our operations. In that event, current stockholders would likely experience a loss of most or all of their investment. Additional funding that we do obtain may be dilutive to the interests of existing stockholders.

 

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

 

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Concentration of Risk Related to Third-party Suppliers

 

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2016, and 2015, the Company held no cash equivalents.

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company makes ongoing assumptions relating to the collectability of its accounts receivable in its calculation of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In determining the amount of the allowance, the Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations and assesses current economic trends affecting its customers that might impact the level of credit losses in the future and result in different rates of bad debts than previously seen. The Company also considers its historical level of credit losses. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Inventory

 

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

 

Property and Equipment

 

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

 

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

 

F- 9

 

 

Accounting for Website Development Costs

 

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

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

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

 

Debt Discount and Debt Issuance Costs

 

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

 

Derivative Liability

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

F- 10

 

 

Income Taxes

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment as long as evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured and title and risk of loss have passed. If those criteria are not met, then revenue will not be recognized until all of the criteria are satisfied.

 

Product Returns

 

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

 

Customer Deposits

 

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

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. These costs consist primarily of salaries and direct payroll-related costs. It also includes purchased materials and services provided by independent contractors, software developed by other companies and incorporated into or used in the development of our final products. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $686,095 and $1,694,521, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses as incurred. Advertising expenses, which are recorded in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses, totaled $98,219 and $40,673 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

F- 11

 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

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

 

Warranty

 

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

 

Collaborative Arrangements

 

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

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, which is the case for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 presented in these consolidated financial statements, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The Company had the following common stock equivalents at December 31, 2016 and 2015:

 

    December 31,
2016
    December 31,
2015
 
Convertible notes payable     641,595,251       -  
Options     1,490,026       4,626,245  
Warrants     7,571,395       7,571,395  
Totals     650,656,672       12,196,640

Subsequent events  

 

The Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to December 31, 2016 and through the date the financial statements were issued.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the prior period total assets, total liabilities, stockholders' deficit, net loss or net cash used in operating activities.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard’s core principle (issued as ASU 2014-09 by the FASB), is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The new guidance must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year, and would allow entities the option to early adopt the new revenue standard as of the original effective date. This ASU is effective for public reporting companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company has evaluated the standard and does not expect the adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. 

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

 

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

 

F- 13

 

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “ Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” , which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under current inventory standards, the market value requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value and net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. The new guidance replaces market with net realizable value defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The standard is required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that annual period, which is our fiscal year 2018. The amendment is to be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

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

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard. 

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ” (topic 606). In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross verses Net)” (topic 606). These amendments provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The amendments in ASU 2016-10 provide clarifying guidance on materiality of performance obligations; evaluating distinct performance obligations; treatment of shipping and handling costs; and determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use an entity’s intellectual property or a right to access an entity’s intellectual property. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 clarify how an entity should identify the specified good or service for the principal versus agent evaluation and how it should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements. The adoption of ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-08 is to coincide with an entity’s adoption of ASU 2014-09, which we intend to adopt for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” , which narrowly amended the revenue recognition guidance regarding collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition and is effective during the same period as ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

F- 14

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

On September 16, 2016, CDx, Inc. (the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary) entered into a Business Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) with WebBank providing for the granting of a security interest in properties, assets and rights (the “Collateral”) as defined in the agreement. CDx, Inc. received net proceeds of $150,000. There were no loan origination or administrative fees related to the funding. The agreement has a maturity date that is 432 days after the effective date of the Agreement and requires equal weekly payments of $599 which includes a total finance fee of $34,500 over the life of the Agreement. The Agreement is personally guaranteed by an officer and majority shareholder of the Company. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2016 was $89,304.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, each share of CDx’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into the right to receive one (1) share of Company common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, the Company assumed all of CDx’s options and warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, 6,069,960 and 7,571,395 shares of common stock, respectively.

 

Prior to and as a condition to the closing of the Merger, each then-current Company stockholder agreed to sell certain shares of common stock held by such holder to the Company and the then-current Company stockholders retained an aggregate of 1,990,637 shares of common stock.

 

Settlement Agreement

 

On December 23, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement (the “Yazbeck Settlement”) with Daniel R. Yazbeck, the Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company (“Yazbeck”), relating to certain bona fide, outstanding, and past-due liabilities of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $321,000 for certain unpaid base salary and bonus obligations that remained deferred and/or outstanding, due and owing to Yazbeck.

 

Under the terms of the Yazbeck Settlement, Yazbeck agreed to forgo and release any claims against the Company under that certain Employment Agreement, by and between Yazbeck and the Company, dated October 15, 2014 (the “Employment Agreement”) in exchange for (1) the issuance of fifty-one (51) shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (defined below); (2) the issuance of three hundred thousand (300,000) shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (defined below); (3) a warrant for fifteen percent (15%) of the common shares of the Company issued and outstanding as of January 3, 2017, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, with an expiration date of January 3, 2019; and (4) the issuance of thirty million (30,000,000) shares of the Company’s restricted common stock.

F- 28

 

 

Common Stock

 

On February 23, 2015, the Company effected a 5-for-1 forward stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock. All share and per share amounts for all periods that have been presented in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retrospectively, where applicable, to reflect the forward stock split. The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation which made the forward stock split effective and increased the authorized common shares to 375,000,000 shares with a par value $0.001 per share.

 

In April 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CDx Merger Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and CDx, Inc. (“CDx”), a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into CDx with CDx surviving the merger as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”).

 

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

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each party has made certain customary representations and warranties to the other parties thereto. The Merger was conditioned upon approval by CDx’s stockholders and certain other customary closing conditions.

 

On April 24, 2015, in anticipation of closing the Merger, the Company changed its name to MyDx, Inc. On April 30, 2015, the Merger was consummated. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company expanded its board of directors (the “Board”) from one to seven directors, each of whom will be directors designated by CDx.

 

The Merger is being treated as a reverse acquisition of the Company, a public shell company, for financial accounting and reporting purposes. As such, CDx is treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes while the Company is treated as the acquired entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Further, as a result, the historical financial statements that will be reflected in the Company’s future financial statements filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) will be those of CDx, and the Company’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of CDx.

 

Each share of common stock has the right to one vote. The holders of common stock are entitled to dividends when funds are legally available and when declared by the board of directors.

 

As a result of the Merger, the Company issued a total of 19,855,295 share of common stock to the shareholders of CDx.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued 16,654,214 shares of common stock in exchange for services at a fair value of $378,345. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 1,863,241 shares of common stock in exchange for services at a fair value of $1,192,893.

 

On September 30, 2016, the Company amended articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized commons shares to 10,000,000,000 as included on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 4, 2016.

 

Common Stock Warrants

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company did not issue any warrants to purchase shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company converted warrants to purchase 4,974,567 shares of Series B preferred stock into warrants to common stock. No common stock warrants have been exercised or have expired and warrants to purchase 7,571,395 shares of common stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2016.

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

 

In connection with the Merger on April 30, 2015, the Company adopted the MyDx, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), and to date, has reserved 6,200,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2015 Plan. Under the 2015 Plan, employees, directors or consultants may be granted nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units to purchase shares of MyDx’s common stock. Only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options (“ISO”) to purchase common stock. Vesting and exercise provisions are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant. The options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. ISOs granted to a participant who, at the time the ISO is granted, has more than 10% of the voting power between all classes of stock, will expire five years from the date of grant. Options vest at various rates ranging from immediately to three years. As of December 31, 2016, options to purchase 1,573,755 shares were available under the 2015 Plan for issuance. 

 

A summary of the Company’s stock option plan for the year ended December 31, 2016 was as follows:

Total stock-based compensation expense, both employee and non-employee, recognized by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $380,587 and $378,597, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to non-employees for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $82,996 and $192,410, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company granted options to non-employees to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.57 per share as compared to 579,864 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company believes the fair value of the stock options is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the consulting services received. The fair value of the stock options granted is calculated at each reporting date.

 

Additional Stock Plan Information

 

The Company’s fair value calculations for stock-based awards under the 2015 Plan were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the weighted-average assumptions set forth in the following table. Volatility is based on historical volatility rates obtained for certain public companies that operate in the same or related businesses as that of the Company since there is no market for or historical volatility data for the Company’s common stock. he risk-free interest rate is determined by using a U.S. Treasury rate for them any uses a simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options in determining the expected term of an employee share option as its equity shares are not publicly traded. 

 

The following assumptions were used in the estimated grant date fair value calculations for options granted to employees and consultants during the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

 

    Years Ended  
    December 31,  
    2016     2015  
Dividend yield     0.0 %     0.0 %
Volatility     50% - 252   %     52.5 %
Average risk-free rate     1.04% - 2.50 %     1.65% - 1.91 %
Expected term, in years     2.27 - 10.00       5.00 - 5.77  

 

The weighted-average grant date fair value for stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was zero and $0.27 per share.

The Parties intend there to be two phases of the License Agreement: Phase One and Phase Two. During Phase One, the Licensor shall provide test samples and validation data for market validation. Subject to Phase One producing satisfactory results, and proof of concept, the Parties will commence Phase Two.

 

For Phase One, the Licensee will pay the Licensor a minimum of Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000.00) as a Licensing and Technology Transfer Fee (the “Transfer Fee”) per application (AquaDx™, OrganaDx™, AeroDx™).

F- 32

 

 

In connection with the agreement referenced above, the licensor and licensee are currently still operating under Phase I and the company has not yet received adequate information to enter Phase II. MyDx has not yet received and has requested market feasibility, regulatory and other studies from Licensee as contemplated under the agreement and has requested the results of their Phase I findings to be delivered to Company on or before April 21, 2017. To the extent MyDx management is unable to receive satisfactory results and confirm proof of concept, MyDx has notified Licensee it will be difficult to continue under the current agreement and the parties are permitted to terminate for cause and defectiveness in the event the products do not pass tests for quality, reliability, efficacy, and marketability or if at the completion of Phase I, the results were not satisfactory and the concept was not proven.

 

Marketing and Advertising Advisory Services Agreement

 

On April 5, 2016, the Company entered into a Marketing and Advertising Advisory Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Growth Point Advisors, Ltd. (“Growth Point”) for Growth Point to provide a comprehensive marketing, advertising and branding campaign for the Greater China Region on behalf of the Company’s MyDx AquaDx sensor.

The Agreement provides for the purchase and resale of 10,000 units as part of a Phase I validation of the product’s merchantability.

 

Litigation

 

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

 

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

Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets of the Company will not be fully realizable for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Accordingly, management had applied a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

The valuation allowance increased by $1,555,647 and $2,632,553 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $12.1 million of federal and $12.1 million of state net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income which will begin to expire in 2033 for both federal and state purposes.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had research & development (“R&D”) credits carryforward of approximately $88,000 and $95,000 for federal and California income tax purposes, respectively. If not utilized, the federal R&D credits carryforward will begin to expire in 2034. The California credits can be carried forward indefinitely.

 

The Company maintain liabilities for uncertain tax positions. These liabilities involve considerable judgment and estimation and are continuously monitored by management based on the best information available, including changes in tax regulations, the outcome of relevant court cases, and other information. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2016, the Company's total amount of unrecognized tax benefit was approximately $79,000   , of which none affects the effective tax rate. The Company does not expect its unrecognized benefits to change materially over the next 12 months.

 

The Company is filing income tax returns with the United States federal government, and the state of California. The Company’s tax years 2013 through 2016 will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities for three and four years, respectively, from the utilization of any net operating loss credits.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Management evaluates the need to establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based upon the amount of existing temporary differences, the period in which they are expected to be recovered, and expected levels of taxable income. A valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets is established when it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on the Company’s net losses in prior years, management has determined that a full valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax assets is appropriate.

 

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties as a component of its income tax provision. With respect to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including related estimates of penalties and interest, the Company did not record a liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2016 and 201   5, respectively. The Company does not expect any changes to its unrecognized tax benefit for the next twelve months that would materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

Subsequently to the purchase of the note, Purchaser has funded additional advances of $20,000 to the Company.

 

On February 7, 2017, Daniel Yazbeck funded the company an additional $25,000 in cash as an interest free bridge loan.

On February 8, 2017, MyDx, Inc. entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement’) with the Torque Research & Development, Inc. ("TRD").   The Option Agreement provides MyDx with the exclusive right to license two patent pending inventions (the “TRD Inventions”), and requires MyDx to make annual payments to TRD as well as royalty payments on any products that are commercialized which are based on the TRD Inventions.  MyDx's rights under the Option Agreement require customary measures of performance on the part of MyDx in terms of patent cost maintenance and other payments of costs associated with the TRD Inventions.  With respect to the Option Agreement, MyDx rights are broad in terms of the potential access MyDx has to use the TRD Inventions in products, and services and many of the key economic terms of a future license, should MyDx exercise it’s rights under the Option Agreement, are agreed to in the Option Agreement.

 

In addition to the Option Agreement with the TRD, on February 8, 2017, MyDx has entered into a research and development agreement (the “RD Agreement”) with TRD for the Project titled “Manufacturable, Medical Grade Smart Vape Devices and Related Medical Software Applications for Prescribers, Administrators and Patient Applications.”  The RD Agreement allows MyDx to fund research based on the TRD Inventions with a three year budget of $280,371 and a deferred payment of $75,000 within ninety days of the Effective Date.  The RD Agreement provides MyDx with an exclusive right to license all technology that is discovered from the monies funded to TRD through the RD Agreement (the “Derivative IP”).  To the extent that MyDx exercises it’s rights under the RD Agreement, MyDx will be required to make customary annual payments to TRD, who shall be the owners of any Derivative IP, as well as royalty payments as any commercialization of such Derivative IP occurs.  TRD may elect to accept payment in whole or in part in cash or the companies restricted common stock priced at the Effective Date.

 

On February 10, 2017, the Company entered into a binding term sheet to acquire certain trademarks, software, data and customer lists from Bud Genius, Inc. in exchange for 100,000,000 restricted MyDx common stock. In good faith, the parties agreed to complete all due diligence and execute transaction documents within 45 days of the date hereof. The 45 days have expired and the parties continue to negotiate in good faith to consummate the transaction.

 

On February 17, 2017 MyDx and Libre Design, LLC ("LDL") entered into a twelve (12) month Research, Branding, Advertising and Marketing Services Agreement ("Agency Agreement").  The Company agreed to pay deferred cash compensation as follows of three thousand dollars ($3,000) upon execution and one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per month for a subsequent eleven (11) payments thereafter on or before the first (1st) of each month.  In addition, Agency is entitled to receive sixty seven million shares of restricted common stock at a closing market price equal to .0011.

 

On March 1 and 15th, 2017, MyDx, Inc. received a payment demand for the initial and subsequent payment of $50,000 and $25,000 per month respectively, exclusive of costs and other fees, due and owing under the BCI Advisors, LLC (“BCI”) advisory services agreement (the “Advisory Services Agreement”).  The Company elected in lieu of cash to pay in unrestricted common stock, registered in form S-8.  The Company made an initial payment of seventy five million shares in partial satisfaction of the amount due and owing that does not exceed the Company’s obligations under the Advisory Services Agreement to restrict BCI’s beneficial ownership to 4.99%.  This summary contains only a brief description of the material terms of the Advisory Services Agreement and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Advisory Services Agreement. A copy of the Advisory Services Agreement was filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

In March 2016, the Company sued Phoenix Fund Management, LLC (“Phoenix”) to prevent further issuances and conversion notices pursuant to, respectively, a June 2016 $250,000 Section 3(a)(10) settlement and an October 2016 $1,000,000 convertible promissory note. Between February 23, 2017 and March 8, 2017, Phoenix submitted five (5) issuance or conversion requests to the Company’s transfer agent for a total of 239,188,023 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the settlement described below, none of these share were issued.

 

On March 10, 2017, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with Phoenix dated March 9, 2017 (the “Phoenix Settlement”). Pursuant to the Phoenix Settlement, Phoenix has agreed it is no longer entitled to any shares pursuant to these two agreements, which are now considered paid in full. On March 15, 2017, in connection with the Phoenix Settlement, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the pending lawsuit with the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida.

 

On March 13, 2017, the Company and Bright Light Marketing, Inc. (“BLM”), in a settlement related to the Phoenix Settlement, entered into a Settlement Agreement dated March 10, 2017 (the “BLM Settlement”). In 2016, BLM notified the Company that Phoenix was a potential lender. Pursuant to the BLM Settlement, BLM will pay the Company a total of $217,500 over the next twelve (12) months. BLM is due to pay the first $100,000 within thirty (30) business days of the signing of the BLM Settlement. BLM will then pay the Company $10,000 per month on the first day of the next eleven (11) months with the final payment of $7,500 due on March 1, 2018.

 

On March 14, 2017, the Company and Vista Capital Investments, LLC (“Vista”) entered into a Settlement Agreement dated March 14, 2017 (the “Vista Settlement”). Vista claimed, and the Company disputed, that Vista was still entitled to certain payments pursuant to convertible promissory notes the Company previously issued. On March 13, 2017, Vista submitted a conversion request of 68,437,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Vista Settlement, the Company issued 35,000,000 shares to Vista on March 14, 2017 and all convertible promissory notes issued by the Company to Vista are now considered paid in full.

 

From November 22, 2016 through March 16, 2017, the Company has issued, in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, 1,086,998,015 shares of common stock at a weighted average price per share of $0.001096 pursuant to conversion notices of convertible promissory notes outstanding totaling approximately $1,164,000. The shares were issued to a total of five lenders. The issuance of such convertible promissory notes was previously disclosed in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

On March 16, 2017, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“SPA”) with TLG, Inc, and TRD, Inc.  (“Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 25,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, in an above market transaction at a purchase price of $0.004 per share for a total of $100,000. As part of the SPA, the Company granted the Investors the option, within the next 60 days, to purchase an additional 25,000,000 of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.006 per share for a total of $150,000.   The shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and are “restricted securities" as that term is defined by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.  Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the Investors agreed not to sell more than three hundred and seventy-five thousand shares per day (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits that occur after the date hereof) or more than seven million five hundred thousand shares per month (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits that occur after the date hereof) of the securities purchased pursuant to the SPA.

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

On May 11, 2016 (the “Dismissal Date”), the Board dismissed Burr Pilger Mayer, Inc. (“BPM”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, the subsequent interim periods thereto, and through the Dismissal Date, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except that in connection with the audit of the Company’s 2015 financial statements BPM identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to: (i) the Company not maintaining a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting for warrants to purchase common and preferred stock issued in connection with convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock and accounting for non-employee stock options; (ii) insufficient segregation of duties within the accounting function with respect to the review and approval of the underlying accounting records; (iii) the inability to close the Company’s books and timely issue financial statements; and (iv) inadequate management oversight resulting from the departure of all independent non-employee Board members in February 2016.  

In connection with the audit of the Company’s 2014 financial statements, BPM identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to the Company not maintaining a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting for warrants to purchase common and preferred stock issued in connection with convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock and accounting for non-employee stock options.    

On May 11, 2016 (the “Engagement Date”), the Board approved the appointment of Anton & Chia as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Since May 11, 2016 there have been no transactions or events that were material and were accounted for or disclosed in a manner different from that which BPM apparently would have concluded was required.  

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES  

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures  

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-Q, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of December 31, 2016, due to the fact that management has not fully remediated the material weakness described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2016.   

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting  

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures  

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.  

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

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

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

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

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

 

  honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
  full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to regulatory agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission;

Further, all of our personnel are to be afforded full access to the Board if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our president or chief executive officer.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Board Committees

 

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

 

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

 

  36  

 

 

Leadership Structure

 

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

  

Risk Management  

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

Meetings  

The board of directors met three times prior to March 2016. Four Board members were each in attendance at the three pre-March 2016 Board meetings: Daniel Yazbeck, George Jackoboice, Fred Pier and Steve Katz. Subsequent to February 2016, Daniel Yazbeck was the sole board member and authorized all board resolutions through unanimous written consents.

Agreements with Named Executive Officers

 

Daniel R. Yazbeck

 

On October 15, 2014, CDx, Inc. entered into a five-year employment agreement with Daniel R. Yazbeck. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Yazbeck shall serve as the CDx Chief Executive Officer or such other title or position as may be designated from time to time by the CDx board of directors. The employment agreement can be terminated pursuant to written notification by either CDx or Mr. Yazbeck, which notification may occur at any time for any reason. Mr. Yazbeck’s initial base salary is $180,000 per year, subject to periodic review by the CDx board of directors and may be increased in the discretion of CDx.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Transactions with Related Persons

 

The following is a summary of transactions since January 1, 2016 to which we have been or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $8,000 (one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for our last two completed fiscal years) and in which any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of any class of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing a household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation arrangements that are described under the section captioned “Executive Compensation.”

 

On or about December 23, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with YCIG, Inc. (“YCIG”) (an entity controlled by Mr. Yazbeck) whereby the Company issued to YCIG 300,000 shares of Series B Preferred at $1.00 per share and warrants to purchase up to fifteen percent (15%) of shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock as of January 3, 2017, at an exercise price of $0.001, and an expiration date of January 3, 2019. The Series B Preferred is redeemable at any time after March 31, 2018, at the sole option of the holder at a redemption price of $1.35 per share. Until such time as there are fewer than 20,000 shares of Series B Preferred outstanding, the Company needs to obtain the majority votes of the holders of Series B Preferred with regard to certain actions. Holder converts any portion of the Preferred Stock into common and thereafter to one vote for each share of Series B Preferred held, are entitled to elect up to two members to the Board of Directors, and, absent such election, are provided certain voting and veto rights to any vote by the Board of Directors. In conjunction with and pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Company entered into an Escrow Agreement whereby the Company is required to deposit shares of the Company’s common stock which shall be held in the Escrow Agent’s name and disbursed to YCIG, at the sole discretion and election of YCIG, pursuant to the terms of the SPA and the documents related thereto.

 

On December 23, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement (the “Yazbeck Settlement”) with Mr. Yazbeck, relating to certain bona fide, outstanding, and past-due liabilities of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $321,000 for certain unpaid base salary and bonus obligations that remained deferred and/or outstanding, due and owing to Mr. Yazbeck.

 

Under the terms of the Yazbeck Settlement, Mr. Yazbeck agreed to forgo and release any claims against the Company under that certain Employment Agreement, by and between Mr. Yazbeck and the Company, dated October 15, 2014 (the “Employment Agreement”) in exchange for (1) the issuance of fifty-one (51) shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred; (2) the issuance of three hundred thousand (300,000) shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred; (3) a warrant for fifteen percent (15%) of the common shares of the Company issued and outstanding as of January 3, 2017, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, with an expiration date of January 3, 2019; and (4) the issuance of thirty million (30,000,000) shares of the Company’s restricted common stock.

 

On January 4, 2017, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement (the “YCIG Settlement”) with YCIG, relating to certain bona fide, outstanding, and past-due liabilities of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $224,040 arising from that certain loan agreement, by and between the Company and YCIG, dated December 10, 2015 (the “Loan Agreement”) and that certain revolving promissory note, executed by the Company in favor of YCIG, of even date therewith (the “Revolving Note”).

 

On January 3, 2017, YCIG issued a payment demand letter (the “Demand Letter”) to the Company alleging that the Company was in default under the Loan Agreement and Revolving Note for the Company’s failure to make monthly interest payments as contemplated thereunder and for breaches of the Loan Agreement (the “Events of Default”).

 

Under the terms of the YCIG Settlement, in lieu of receiving the immediate cash payment for the principal, interest and fees due and owing to YCIG from the Company under the Loan Agreement and the Revolving Note, YCIG agreed to settle and cure the Events of Default through the mutual amendment of specific terms of the Loan Agreement, as more fully described therein. As additional consideration for the YCIG Settlement, YCIG agreed to return 210,894 shares of the Company’s common stock. The return the 210,894 shares of the Company’s common stock by YCIG was effected as of December 30, 2016.

Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons

 

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

 

Director Independence

 

Board of Directors

 

Mr. Yazbeck, as an officer of the Company, is not an independent director pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5605(a)(2) and applicable SEC rules and regulations.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

Since we did not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees were performed by our directors. Thus, there was an inherent conflict of interest.
