NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 AND 2018
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Preparation
United Health Products, Inc. ("United" or the "Company") is a product development and solutions company focusing its growth initiatives on the expanding wound-care industry and disposable medical supplies markets. The Company produces an innovative gauze product that absorbs exudate (fluids which have been discharged from blood vessels) by forming a gel-like substance upon contact.
Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X, as appropriate. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included.
These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes for the period ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K filed on April 1, 2019. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring net losses and operations have not provided cash flows. Additionally, the Company does not currently have sufficient revenue producing operations to cover its operating expenses and meet its current obligations. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Chief Executive Officer has agreed to advance funds or make payments of the Company's obligations at his discretion. There is no written agreement to continue this support.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, as well as in the healthcare industry, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates, could cause actual results to differ.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Concentration Risk
We record accounts receivable at the invoiced amount and we do not charge interest. We review the accounts receivable by amounts due from customers which are past due, to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the reserve, we make judgments about the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. We will also maintain a sales allowance to reserve for potential credits issued to customers. We will determine the amount of the reserve based on historical credits issued.
There was no provision for doubtful accounts recorded at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company recorded $0 and $0 in bad debt expense for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The Company recorded $100,000 and $100,000 in bad debt expense for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, one customer made up of 100% of the Company’s net revenue and three customers made up 94% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable balance.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, three customers accounted for 48%, 29% and 12% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, three customers made up 98.9% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable balance.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory on the balance sheet consists of raw materials purchased by the Company and finished goods.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company determined $0 and $0, respectively, of inventory should be impaired and written-off to cost of goods sold.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company issues restricted stock to consultants and employees for various services. Costs for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock for non-employees is measured at the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached and expense is recognized during the term at which the counterparty's performance is earned or at the date the shares are considered non-forfeitable. The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services.
Per Share Information
Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the shares of common stock held in escrow. The dilutive effect of potential common shares is not reflected in diluted earnings per share because the Company incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and the effect of including these potential common shares in the net loss per share calculations would be anti-dilutive.
The total potential common shares as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, include 50,100,000 of restricted stock units and 14,150,000 of common stock held in escrow, respectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. ASU 2016-02, Leases, which amends existing lease accounting guidance, including the requirement to recognize most lease arrangements on the balance sheet. The adoption of this standard will result in the Company recognizing a right-of-use asset representing its rights to use the underlying asset for the lease term with an offsetting lease liability. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has determined there is no impact to the financial statements as the Company does not have any lease agreements.
The Company considers all new pronouncements and management has determined that there have been no other recently adopted or issued accounting standards that had or will have a material impact on its financial statements.
Note 3. Related Party Transactions
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, notes payable to related parties totaled $0 and $8,121, respectively. These amounts are owed to Doug Beplate, our Chief Executive Officer. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Mr. Beplate advanced the Company $292,000 and the Company made repayments to Mr. Beplate totaling $100,000.
On April 22, 2019, the Company agreed to issue to Mr. Beplate convertible demand loans representing all outstanding cash loans made by Mr. Beplate to the Company. For any outstanding loans made on or before April 15, 2019, the loans are convertible at $0.50 per share and for all loans subsequent to April 15, 2019, the notes are convertible at $0.65 per share, in each case at the sole discretion of Mr. Beplate. The Company’s stock price on April 22, 2019 was $0.90 which resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of $156,890 which was recorded to interest expense.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Mr. Beplate converted $205,000 of notes payable and accrued liabilities at a conversion price of $0.50 into 410,000 shares of common stock. There is $0 remaining as unamortized debt discount.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, Mr. Beplate gave a personal vehicle to an employee of the Company valued at $30,000 in lieu of the Company paying travel expenses and consulting expenses. During 2018, the Company repaid a net amount of $305,207 of the outstanding notes payable balance from proceeds of private placements. These loans were for operating expenses of the Company, were due on demand and had no interest rate.
Per Mr. Beplate’s services agreement, he receives monthly compensation of $15,000 per month. During the year ended December 31, 2018, he received his entire salary of $180,000 and $61,500 of previously accrued compensation was paid, leaving a balance of $25,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $22,130 of compensation was accrued and $4,879 was converted into stock as mentioned above, leaving a balance of $17,251.
In March 2019, the Company granted Mr. Beplate 33,000,000 Restricted Stock Units (RSU’s) which vest and are issuable upon the achievement of certain conditions described in Note 4. These RSU’s were included as part of the Company’s grant of an aggregate of 50,100,000 RSUs to various officers, directors and consultants which all vest on substantially the same terms. The RSUs granted to Mr. Beplate replaced an executive compensation stock bonus package that was granted to Mr. Beplate in December 2018 which had provided that upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or other change in control or merger transaction in which the Company is involved, or in the event that no such transaction occurred by December 31, 2019, Mr. Beplate would have been entitled to receive a number of shares equal to 15% post issuance of the then outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on a fully diluted basis. The December 2018 executive compensation stock bonus package had, in turn, replaced a previously issued 5% stock bonus granted to Mr. Beplate that would have been issuable in the event of a sale of the Company’s assets or change in control or merger transaction, per his services agreement. See “Note 4” regarding the granting of the RSUs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to each of two directors for services rendered. The shares had a fair market value of $190,000.
Note 4. Issuances of Securities

The shares were to be released from escrow upon the change of control of the Company. Management was unable to determine when a change of control will occur and $0 was expensed as of September 30, 2018. The Company also issued 3,500,000 shares of common stock to convert $172,500 of notes payable and $10,000 of accrued interest.

Note 5. Litigation
During 2017, a Complaint was filed with the United States District Court, Southern District of New York by Steven Safran as Plaintiff against the Company and Douglas Beplate, its CEO, as Defendant. This court case was transferred to the United States District Court in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mr. Safran is seeking damages and monies allegedly owed pursuant to an employment agreement and allegedly unpaid loans of $245,824 provided to Defendants. The Company has denied Plaintiff’s allegations and intends to vigorously defend said lawsuit. The parties have held various depositions and the Company has a motion to dismiss which is pending with the court. No accrual has been recorded related to this litigation.
In July 2015, the Company entered into a consulting agreement retaining the services of Maxim Group LLC. An amended agreement was executed in January 2018. A total of 4 million shares of common stock were issued to Maxim in exchange for its obligation to perform certain advisory and other services. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company notified Maxim of its intent to file for arbitration pursuant to the consulting agreement. Maxim, without providing a similar notice to the Company, immediately filed a complaint with FINRA seeking release of a restrictive legend from a Company stock certificate in the amount of 500,000 shares. The Company filed an affirmative defense that the required notice of arbitration was not provided to the Company prior to filing. The Company also filed a counterclaim for breach of contract seeking restitution of the original 4 million shares issued to Maxim and the Company filed several counterclaims alleging material misrepresentations by Maxim to various entities. The Company intends to vigorously defend Maxim’s complaint and to seek to obtain relief pursuant to its counterclaims. Currently, the Company and Maxim have rescheduled arbitration dates with FINRA which will be held in the first quarter of 2020.
Philip Forman, who served in positions as Chairman, a director, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Advisor at various time between 2011 and October 2015, has filed a lawsuit against the Company and our Chief Executive Officer, Douglas Beplate, in the United States District Court of the District of Nevada. The claimant is claiming, among other things, that: the June 25, 2015 Amendment to his November 10, 2014 Employment Agreement with the Company, which terminated the Employment Agreement on October 1, 2015, is not valid because of lack of consideration; that a July 22, 2015 Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the claimant sold Company shares issued to him under the Amendment to a third a party is unenforceable (despite the fact that all payment for the shares under the Stock Purchase Agreement was made); that the plaintiff’s 2014 Employment Agreement is enforceable and that he is entitled to cash and stock compensation under that Employment Agreement (without giving regard to the Amendment); that if the Amendment is enforceable, he is entitled to the shares issued under the Amendment (without mention that those shares were sold to a third party under the Stock Purchase Agreement described above); and that the Company and Mr. Beplate defrauded the plaintiff relating to the foregoing. The plaintiff is seeking declaratory judgment regarding the parties’ relative rights under the Employment Agreement, the Amendment and the Stock Purchase Agreement; money damages of no less than $2,795,000; and punitive damages of $8,280,000. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the matters claimed as well as counterclaims against the claimant. We filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s claims which is pending before the court.
FSR Inc. commenced a lawsuit in 2018 against Korsair Holdings A.G. in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking among other claims for relief, rescission of the transfer of 3,050,000 shares of United Health Products that FSR sold to Korsair in 2011. Third-Party Plaintiff, JEC Consulting Associates, LLC as Liquidator of LeadDog Capital L.P., Intervenor (“Intervenor”) in the above matter, filed a third-party complaint against United Health Products, and Douglas Beplate alleging among other things that the Company and Mr. Beplate refused to have the Rule 144 restrictive legend removed from the Korsair certificate held by JEC, and concomitantly fraudulently deprive JEC as Liquidator of LeadDog of the ability to sell the Shares in the open market, knowingly, intentionally and directly causing economic harm to LeadDog Capital L.P. Intervenor as Third Party Plaintiff further alleges that the Company and Mr. Beplate as Third-Party Defendants are not only monetarily liable to Third-Party Plaintiff for compensatory damages of $2,500,000 but should be made to pay exemplary damages in an amount determined by the Court, but not less than an equal amount - $2,500,000. Third-Party Plaintiff demands judgment for the above referenced amounts and for the Court to also declare that the 3,050,000 shares are free trading; that Third-Party Plaintiff’s rights to 2.5 million of the Shares are superior to the claims of Plaintiff FSR; that Plaintiff FSR has no claim to 2.5 million of the 3,050,000 Shares reflected by the Korsair certificate; that the Company and Mr. Beplate are to instruct its current transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend on the Korsair certificate for the Shares; and an order directing the Company and Mr. Beplate to instruct the Company’s transfer agent to exchange the Korsair certificate for new free-trading, unrestricted certificates. The Company believes that it had legal right to decline to instruct the transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend from the Korsair Shares where the ownership of the aforementioned shares have been in dispute and the Korsair shares have not been submitted for transfer to its transfer agent in proper form under the uniform commercial code.
In October 2019, the Company filed a defamation, trade libel and unlawful and deceptive practices lawsuit. See further details in Item 2.
Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, we cannot predict the outcome of these legal proceedings.
Note 6. Liability for Unissued Shares
The Company has recognized a "Liability for unissued shares" for shares granted to employees and consultants along with shares purchased by investors, but unissued as of the balance sheet date. The granted shares are recorded at the fair market value of the shares to be issued at the grant date and a corresponding current liability is recorded for these unissued shares. The activity in this account and balances, classified as Liabilities for unissued shares, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:

The Company has evaluated events subsequent to September 30, 2019, through the date whereupon the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no material events that need to be disclosed.
