These assumptions should not be deemed to constitute an admission that all executive officers, directors and 5% or greater stockholders are, in fact, affiliates of our company, or that there are not other persons who may be deemed to be affiliates of our company. Further information concerning shareholdings of our officers, directors and principal stockholders is included in Part III, Item 12 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Corporate History

 

American International Holdings Corp.

 

American International Holdings Corp. was organized in 1986 and is incorporated in Nevada. The Company has undergone several name changes and changes of control since its incorporation; however, from 2012 until April 2019, the Company had no operations and nominal assets.

 

Prior to May 31, 2018, the Company was a 93.2% owned subsidiary of American International Industries, Inc. (“American”, “AMIN”), a company whose securities are traded on the OTCQB market maintained by OTC Markets under the symbol “AMIN”.

 

Effective on May 31, 2018, the Company issued (a) 4,300,000 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Daniel Dror (the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and President (who resigned from such positions effective on May 31, 2018)); (b) 3,800,000 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Robert Holden (who was appointed President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company on May 31, 2018 and resigned on August 20, 2018); (c) 750,000 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Everett Bassie (who was appointed as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and a member of the board of directors of the Company on May 31, 2018, and who has since resigned from all positions with the Company); (d) 750,000 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Winfred Fields (a consultant to the Company); and (e) 500,000 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Charles R. Zeller (a then director of the Company), each in consideration for services rendered to the Company.

 

As a result of the issuance of the shares in May 2018 as discussed above, a change in control occurred. American International Industries, Inc. ownership decreased from 93.2% to 6.4%.

 

On April 12, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Novopelle Diamond, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Novopelle Diamond” and “Novopelle”) and certain unitholders of Novopelle Diamond. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Novopelle Diamond by means of a share exchange with the Novopelle Members in exchange for 18,000,000 newly issued shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Novopelle became a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. The closing of the Share Exchange occurred concurrently with the entry into the Share Exchange Agreement and resulted in a change of control of the Company. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company acquired the business of Novopelle Diamond and all of its assets. Novopelle Diamond is a physician supervised, medical spa and wellness clinic that offers a full menu of wellness services including anti-aging, weight loss and skin rejuvenation treatments.

 

The three unitholders of Novopelle Diamond who received shares pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement were (1) Jacob D. Cohen; (2) Esteban Alexander; and (3) Luis Alan Hernandez, who each received six million shares pursuant to the Share Exchange.

 

Concurrent with the Share Exchange, the Company entered into individual share exchange agreements and promissory notes with each of Daniel Dror, Winfred Fields and former directors Everett Bassie and Charles Zeller (the “AMIH Shareholders”) whereby the AMIH Shareholders agreed to cancel and exchange a total of 4,900,000 shares of their Company common stock for individual promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $350,000 (the “Promissory Notes”). The Promissory Notes had a term of two years and accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum (payable at maturity) until paid in full by the Company. The current principal balance of the Promissory Notes is approximately $110,000 as of the date of this filing.

 

As a result of the issuance of the shares in the Share Exchange and the cancellation of the shares held by the AMIH Shareholders, control of the Company changed to (1) Jacob D. Cohen; (2) Esteban Alexander; and (3) Alan Hernandez, who each owned 26% of the Company’s common stock following such transactions.

 

Also effective on April 12, 2019, the directors of the Company changed to Mr. Jacob D. Cohen; Mr. Esteban Alexander; and Mr. Alan Hernandez, who were also each appointed as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company (Mr. Cohen); the Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer (Mr. Alexander); and the Chief Marketing Officer and Secretary (Mr. Hernandez). Mr. Bassie resigned as a member of the board of directors of the Company and as the Secretary and Treasurer on April 12, 2019, but remained as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer until his passing on May 21, 2020.

On October 2, 2020, Jacob D. Cohen, the Chief Executive Officer and member of the board of directors of the Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements with each of (a) Esteban Alexander, the Chief Operating Officer and member of the board of directors of the Company, and (b) Luis Alan Hernandez, the Chief Marketing Officer and member of the board of directors of the Company (collectively, the “Preferred Holders” and the “Stock Purchase Agreements”).

 

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreements, Mr. Alexander agreed to sell 7,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company which he held to Mr. Cohen, which rights to such shares were assigned by Mr. Cohen to Cohen Enterprises, Inc., which entity he controls (“Cohen Enterprises”), in consideration for an aggregate of $1,500 as well as for the amount of services provided by Mr. Cohen to the Company; and Mr. Hernandez agreed to sell 4,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company which he held to Cohen Enterprises, in consideration for an aggregate of $1,000 as well as for the amount of services provided by Mr. Cohen to the Company. The sales closed on November 5, 2020.

 

One of the reasons that Mr. Alexander and Mr. Hernandez agreed to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements (including the sale of the shares of common stock of the Company at below market value), is because (a) each of Mr. Cohen, Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Hernandez were all appointed as officers and directors of the Company at the same time in April 2019, with the intention that such persons would provide a relatively equal amount of services to the Company in the roles as officers and directors thereof; (b) since such appointment date Mr. Cohen has been required to provide a disproportionate amount of services to the Company; and (c) each of Mr. Alexander and Mr. Hernandez desired to provide additional consideration to Mr. Cohen for such disproportionate level of service.

 

A condition to the Stock Purchase Agreements was that each of Mr. Alexander and Mr. Hernandez resign as a member of the board of directors of the Company by no later than January 15, 2021, which resignations were effective December 15, 2020.

 

A further requirement to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements was that each of Mr. Alexander and Mr. Hernandez take such actions necessary and which may be requested from time to time by Mr. Cohen, to affect the cancellation of the one share of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company held by each of them, for no consideration (including, but not limited to, without the required payment by the Company of the $1 redemption price described in the designation of such Series A Preferred Stock).

 

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Mr. Alexander and Mr. Hernandez were canceled on November 6, 2020. The common shares were also transferred to Mr. Cohen on November 6, 2020, and as such, a change of control occurred on such date, with Mr. Cohen taking over voting control of the Company, and serving between December 15, 2020 and October 19, 2021, as the sole officer and director of the Company. The Company has subsequently appointed new directors and a Chief Financial Officer, as discussed in greater detail below.

ZipDoctor provides its customers with unlimited, 24/7 access to board certified physicians and licensed mental and behavioral health counselors and therapists via a newly developed, monthly subscription-based online telemedicine platform. ZipDoctor’s online telemedicine platform is available to customers across the United States and offers bilingual coverage (English and Spanish), with virtual visits taking place either via the phone or through a secured video chat platform. ZipDoctor customers subscribe through the website and are only required to pay a monthly fee, which is determined based on whether they are an individual, a couple, or a family. ZipDoctor is currently being sold on a direct-to-consumer basis, with an emphasis on digital marketing and advertising.

 

Digital Marketing Initiative: The ZipDoctor website was originally designed to be marketed and sold primarily using a digital and social media advertising campaign. Shortly after the website’s launch, ZipDoctor began to advertise on Google pay per click (PPC), search engine optimization (SEO), Facebook and Instagram. Shortly after launching, the Company decided to shift the focus of its marketing to a direct sales approach, resulting in the formation and launch of EPIQ MD, Inc. (discussed below).

 

Going Forward Strategy: With EPIQ MD, Inc. taking over the sales and marketing of the direct-to-consumer telemedicine platform, ZipDoctor has changed its business plan to focus on developing customized telemedicine solutions for niche, or specialty care, areas of medicine.

 

Telemedicine Platform Provider for Pharmacies. ZipDoctor is targeting relationships with specialty compound pharmacies seeking both an online telemedicine platform and a network of doctors to assist in facilitating patient online visits and to streamline the medical intake, patient demographics, health insurance verifications and overall prescription process. In exchange, ZipDoctor expects to receive a monthly fee on a per-patient per month basis for this customized access to the telemedicine platform. The initial focus is on Texas based pharmacies, however, if successful in Texas, ZipDoctor plans to expand its customized telemedicine solution to pharmacies across the United States, funding permitting.

 

On August 15, 2021, ZipDoctor entered into a Telemedicine Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Murphy RX, LLC (“Murphy”), a Texas-based specialty pharmacy, which has since ceased operations as of January 31, 2022. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, ZipDoctor agreed to provide Murphy with access to its centralized technology platform, to collect and manage patient demographics, and access to telemedicine services. Murphy agreed to pay ZipDoctor a monthly fee on a per-patient basis for the use of the technology platform and for access to primary care telemedicine services. ZipDoctor also agreed to provide continued support for the ZipDoctor website through the term of the agreement. The Services Agreement is no longer in effect, as Murphy ceased operations effective as of January 31, 2022.

 

As of the date of this Report, ZipDoctor has approximately 100 total members subscribed to its subscription-based telemedicine platform at www.ZipDoctor.co. Monthly subscription payments range from $25/month to $45/month, depending on how many family members are included, and provide members with unlimited, 24/7 access to board certified physicians and licensed mental and behavioral health counselors and therapists.

EPIQ MD, INC. – 100% OWNED

 

On October 23, 2020, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, EPIQ MD, Inc. (“EPIQ MD”) in the state of Nevada. EPIQ MD is a direct-to-consumer, telemedicine and healthcare company targeting Americans who are uninsured or underinsured. The EPIQ MD service offering is a convergence of primary care telemedicine, preventative care services and wellness programs – under the EPIQ MD brand and on a single platform. EPIQ MD markets and sells its services direct to end-use consumers, as well as through business-to-business (B2B) efforts, by focusing on employers in the targeted industries.

 

Products & Services

 

EPIQ MD’s telemedical services revolve around three services (1) primary care, (2) mental health care, and (3) prevention. Using cloud-based software, EPIQ MD has been able to merge these services under a single platform.

 

Primary care with EPIQ MD connects users to board certified doctors and medical professionals who can treat most non-emergency conditions using telemedicine. Similarly, EPIQ MD’s mental health services connect users with licensed therapists and counselors. As for EPIQ MD’s preventive care, the Company is using data driven technologies (wearables and apps), nutritionist and lab services, to help attempt to mitigate chronic diseases and the risk factors associated with them. In the future, funding permitting, EPIQ MD plans to add in-home medical devices to record vital information, offering what we believe to be the ambit of services between patient and doctor via the use of EPIQ MD’s telemedicine platform.

 

EPIQ MD also provides its subscribers with an option to participate in two premium add-on services, EPIQ LUX and EPIQ Paws. EPIQ LUX provides subscribers with discounts to ancillary healthcare related services such as laboratory services, dental and vision discount plans, prescription drug discounts, and imaging services and EPIQ Paws provides subscribers with access to virtual consultations with licensed veterinarians.

 

As of the date of this Report, EPIQ MD has nominal subscribers as it is expanding its marketing initiatives. However, EPIQ MD is currently registered to do business and is being marketed in Alaska, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Nevada and Utah. To ensure the highest quality control, it plans to scale up its full-service coverage incrementally to all 50 U.S. states by year-end 2022, funding permitting.

 

Marketing Strategy

 

With approximately 30 million people uninsured in the United States (according to 2019 Congressional Budget Office estimates) and 45 percent of U.S. adults between ages of 19 and 64 being inadequately insured (according to a February 2019 Survey Brief by the Commonwealth Fund), and an estimated 530,000 families turning to bankruptcy each year due to medical expenses (according to a study published in the March 2019 American Public Journal of Health), the Company sees an opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of these uninsured or underinsured people. We believe that this is the demographic that the healthcare system has abandoned, ignored and/or left behind and is what we believe to be a largely underserved group.

 

To grow its subscriber base, EPIQ MD has implemented its own direct-to-consumer distribution channel referred to as the “Ambassador Program”. The Ambassador Program is intended to allow social influencers, community leaders and entrepreneurial-minded sales agents to market and sell EPIQ MD’s services across the nation, on a commission-only basis.

 

Market Opportunity

 

As previously described above, with approximately 30 million people uninsured in the United States and 45 percent of U.S. adults between ages of 19 and 64 being inadequately insured, EPIQ MD believes that their service offerings will be instrumental in reaching these Americans and plans to reach this demographic through its own direct-to-consumer distribution channel, or Ambassador Program, and through its commercial division that will target small and medium sized businesses (SMB’s) and municipalities.

According to a 2020 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, a leading industry research firm (“Key Facts About the Uninsured Population”), the high cost of insurance is one of the main reasons individuals lack coverage (in 2019, 73.7% of uninsured adults said they were uninsured because the cost of coverage was too high); and, individuals with income below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) are at the highest risk of being uninsured.

 

We see a significant opportunity to market to these uninsured and/or underinsured persons, and believe that our low-cost, flat rate, telemedical services can be an attractive alternative to those persons seeking lower cost health services.

 

LIFE GURU, INC. – 51% OWNED

 

On May 15, 2020, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Life Guru, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Life Guru”). Life Guru owns www.LifeGuru.me – a website dedicated to providing an online platform to connect consumers to a variety of mentors, professionals, life coaches and career coaches. Upon final launch of the platform, it will include functionality enabling: life coaches from around the world to access and subscribe to the Life Guru platform; and consumers to filter their life coach options by geographic location, language and even the type of currency they would like to pay with. While Life Guru is free to consumers, it generates revenues by charging monthly subscription fees to coaches participating on the platform. Further, and depending on the type of subscription plan the life coach chooses to participate in, Life Guru receives a percentage of the per session fees generated and earned between the consumer and the life coach.

 

Since the LifeGuru.me website was launched around March 2021, Life Guru has been working to optimize the website for mobile and completing integration with its merchant account provider to automate monthly payouts to coaches. LifeGuru is currently in the process of marketing and onboarding coaches onto the platform.

 

Industry Trends

 

Life coaching has been the second fastest growing industry in the world for over ten consecutive years, behind the information technology sector (according to a May 2016 article posted at Forbes.com). The global Personal Development Industry (including market segments from holistic approaches, motivational speakers, inspirational websites, personal coaching, and other forms of personal development) was valued at approximately $38.28 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% from 2020 to 2027 (according to a July 2020 report by Grand View Research). Moreover, Life Guru believes that improving social skills and focusing on critical areas for self-awareness, such as emotions, character traits, habits, individual values, and the psychological need that shapes the day-to-day behavior of individuals are gaining importance.

 

Operational, Technological & Cost Advantages

 

We anticipate that coaches that subscribe to the Life Guru platform will benefit from Life Guru’s investment in digital marketing and promotion, enabling them to reach customers and providing increased visibility. Life Guru has developed a proprietary technology platform for coaching online, as well as proprietary video conferencing capabilities for coaching interactively. Through our existing marketing partnerships, Life Guru believes it has access to sales tools which allow the effective marketing of coaches across all major social media platforms, including and most importantly, LinkedIn. LifeGuru.me is mobile-friendly and can run smoothly on many platforms, making it highly scalable.

 

Subscriptions

 

Life Guru offers free membership for all consumers to gain access to the site and search for life coaches. Life Guru’s model is to charge coaches, and not members, for the use of its services. The Company currently offers three different subscription levels to life coaches, with varying levels of promotion on the Life Guru site, prominence of search results, and commissions payable. As of the date of this Report, Life Guru has no members and approximately 200 total life coaches that have signed up and created profiles on the platform.

Growth Objectives

 

In addition to marketing Life Guru directly to consumers, Life Guru intends to implement packages to be sold to various businesses and corporations, which can, in turn, be marketed as a corporate benefit by employers. Life Guru calls this “Life Guru Corporate”. A recent survey of 256 companies by the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions, a nonprofit employer group, found that 53% of employers are providing special emotional and mental health programs for their workforce in the wake of the pandemic. Life Guru believes that Life Guru Corporate represents important potential upside in targeting the business and corporate world, and providing services to employees on an ongoing basis. Life Guru Corporate can only be developed once the platform has achieved a reputable brand and a substantial amount of high-quality business coaches are engaged, and Life Guru does not anticipate launching Life Guru Corporate with fewer than 200 life coaches, provided Life Guru’s projected milestones are met.

 

MANGOCEUTICALS, INC. – 100% OWNED

 

On October 7, 2021, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Mangoceuticals, Inc. (“Mangoceuticals”) in the state of Texas with the intent of focusing on developing, marketing and selling a variety of men’s wellness products and services via a telemedicine platform. To date, the Company has identified men’s wellness telemedicine services and products as a growing sector in the most recent years and especially related to the areas of erectile dysfunction and hair loss products. In this regard, Mangoceuticals is currently in the process of developing and preparing to market a new brand of erectile dysfunction (ED) products that delivers fast acting results through a proprietary combination of FDA approved ingredients.

 

Mangoceuticals plans to market and sell this new brand of ED products exclusively online and will require the use of a telemedicine visit, a doctor’s prescription and the fulfillment of the prescription by pharmacy licensed in the state in which the customer resides. Mangoceuticals plans to rely heavily on digital and social media marketing through channels such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snap Chat and TikTok and further has plans to use digital marketing with the goal of creating viral marketing campaigns, using social media influencers and celebrities, funding permitting.

 

Our goal is to eventually sell this new brand of ED products nationwide and to use EPIQ Scripts (described below) as its mail order pharmacy to fulfill the ED prescriptions. Mangoceuticals is currently in the branding and development stage of this ED product and anticipates a planned and limited launch in the Texas market in the second quarter of 2022 with the intent of expanding its marketing initiatives at a pace in which Epiq Scripts obtains additional state licenses across the United States.

 

EPIQ SCRIPTS, LLC – 51% OWNED

 

On January 24, 2022, the Company formed EPIQ Scripts, LLC (“EPIQ Scripts”) in the state of Texas. EPIQ Scripts has been established with the intent of operating as a close-door online mail order pharmacy with a specific target and vision to obtain licenses in all 50 states across the U.S., of which no state licenses have been obtained as of the date of this Report. EPIQ Scripts also plans to seek to become accredited with the most respected and highly recognized authorities in the industry, such as Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC), Legit Script, Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC), and National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) Digital Pharmacy. EPIQ Scripts also intends to obtain in-network contracts with all major Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBM) and insurance payors.

 

Market Opportunity

 

It is anticipated that if licenses, accreditations and in-network contracts are secured in all 50 U.S. states, EPIQ Scripts will be able to market itself to the many up and coming telemedicine companies that have been on the rise since early 2020. Pursuant to a July 9, 2021 article published by McKinsey & Company, according to a study taken by McKinsey & Company, in April 2020, overall telehealth utilization for office visits and outpatient care was 78 times higher than in February 2020. Even though telemedicine use has now leveled off as in-person visits have returned, McKinsey & Company is still consistently seeing use that is 38 times higher than pre-pandemic numbers. Furthermore, a majority of Americans have now tried out telehealth. According to an article published at Sykes.com, a March 2021 survey of 2,000 U.S. adults undertaken by Sykes.com found that by March 2021, more than 61% of such surveyed individuals had made a telehealth/telemedicine appointment, which is a massive increase from just 19.5% a year prior, according to Sykes. We further believe that telemedicine use is now widespread across demographics.

 

10

 

We believe the significant increases in demand for telemedicine has created a vacuum for pharmacies that have the capabilities to handle the prescription volume generated by these platforms. We believe that EPIQ Scripts’ planned mail order pharmacy, which is expected to have advanced API capabilities and infrastructure and be supported with nationwide licenses and accreditations can position itself to capitalize on the current market opportunity.

 

EPIQ Scripts has currently filed with the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC) to obtain its pharmacy accreditation and is in the process of obtaining its first state license in the State of Texas, which it anticipates receiving in April 2022. Once the Texas state license is obtained, EPIQ Scripts will be able to apply for additional state licenses until they have obtained all 50 state licenses, with some state licenses easier to obtain and quicker to obtain than others. EPIQ Scripts intends to have licenses to operate in all 50 states by the first quarter of 2023.

 

* * * * * *

 

The Company intends to continue to grow its business both organically and through identifying acquisition targets over the next 12 months in the telemedicine, life coaching and wellness space, funding permitting. As these opportunities arise, the Company will determine the best method for financing its growth which may include the issuance of additional debt instruments, common stock, preferred stock, or a combination thereof, any one or more of which may cause significant dilution to existing shareholders. The Company requires approximately $5 million to implement its current business strategy for its different subsidiaries and to support potential growth. We expect to raise funds in the future through the sale of debt and/or equity in order to allow us to operate for the next twelve months, and may need to raise further additional capital in order to expedite our growth through acquisitions, none of which are currently planned. There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising such funds and if we do raise funds, this may result in substantial dilution to current investors.

 

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

 

MEDICAL SPA AND WELLNESS

 

The Company previously operated three wholly-owned subsidiaries that were in the Medical Spa and Wellness Sector (collectively hereinafter referred to as “MedSpa”, or “VISSIA”), the operations of which were discontinued in October 2020:

 

  1. VISSIA MCKINNEY, LLC (F/K/A NOVOPELLE DIAMOND, LLC) – 100% OWNED

 

VISSIA McKinney was a physician supervised, medical spa and wellness clinic that offered a full menu of wellness services including anti-aging, weight loss and skin rejuvenation treatments and was located at 5000 Collin McKinney Parkway, Suite 150, McKinney, Texas 75070.

 

  2. VISSIA WATERWAY, INC. (F/K/A NOVOPELLE WATERWAY, INC.) – 100% OWNED

 

VISSIA McKinney was a physician supervised, medical spa and wellness clinic that offered a full menu of wellness services including anti-aging, weight loss and skin rejuvenation treatments and was located at 25 Waterway, Suite 150, The Woodlands, Texas.

 

11

 

  3. NOVOPELLE TYLER, INC. – 100% OWNED

 

On December 3, 2019, the Company formed and organized Novopelle Tyler, Inc. in the State of Texas with the plan to come to terms on a retail location for a new med spa to be located in Tyler, Texas. The Company no longer intends to open this location and no activity has been performed under this entity to date.

 

* * * * *

 

As a result of COVID-19 and ‘stay-at-home’ and social distancing orders issued in McKinney and The Woodlands, Texas, we had to close both of our then operational MedSpas, VISSIA McKinney and VISSIA Waterway, Inc., effective March 10, 2020, and which resulted in both the loss of income and the loss of substantially all of our MedSpa employees, who had to be let go. VISSIA Waterway, Inc. reopened effective June 21, 2020 and VISSIA McKinney reopened effective August 8, 2020. However, due to the termination of employees associated with the shutdown we were forced to expend resources to attract, hire and train completely new staff for preparation of the re-launchings. Notwithstanding the re-openings, customer traffic and demand at our VISSIA Waterway, Inc. and VISSIA McKinney MedSpa locations failed to rebound to pre-COVID-19 levels due to COVID-19 and the pandemic’s effects on the economy, and because we were unable to predict the length of the pandemic or ultimate outcome thereof, and further due to our limited capital resources, effective on October 25, 2020, we made the decision to close both our VISSIA Waterway, Inc. and VISSIA McKinney locations. Our former MedSpa operations and assets are included under discontinued operations in the statement of operations and balance sheet included herein for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the year ended, December 31, 2020.

 

  4. CAPITOL CITY SOLUTIONS, USA, INC. – 100% OWNED

 

On September 17, 2019, the Company formed and organized Capitol City Solutions USA, Inc. (“CCS”) in the State of Texas to act as a general contracting and construction company focused on the remodeling, general construction and interior finish of both the Company’s then MedSpa locations (which have since been closed) as well as to market to other commercial real estate projects within the United States. The Company made the decision to cease any further construction-based operations under CCS in July 2021, in order to focus on the subsidiaries that better aligned with the purpose of the Company and its ongoing business plan in the telehealth and wellness space.

 

  5. LEGEND NUTRITION, INC. – 100% OWNED

 

On September 23, 2019, the Company formed and organized Legend Nutrition, Inc. (“Legend Nutrition”) in the State of Texas to act as a new brand of retail vitamin and supplement stores to be branded and marketed as Legend Nutrition. October 18, 2019, Legend entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the assets associated with and related to a retail vitamin, supplements and nutrition store located in McKinney, Texas and previously identified and doing business as “Ideal Nutrition.” Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Legend purchased a variety of assets including software, contracts, bank and merchant accounts, products, inventory, computers, security systems and other intellectual properties. As Legend Nutrition’s lease expired in January 2021, the Company made the decision to cease its operations to focus on the subsidiaries that better aligned with the purpose of the Company and its ongoing business plan in the telehealth and wellness space.

 

Government Regulation

 

The health care industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to licensure, conduct of operations, ownership of facilities, addition of facilities and services, payment for services and prices for services that are extremely complex and for which, in many instances, the industry does not have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation. We will also be subject to regulation regarding sale of our products online and solicitation of clients thereby, as well as through our general contractor business and the licensing and code requirements relating thereto.

COVID-19 Outlook and Discontinued Operations

 

The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, and the related responses by public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat its outbreak and spread has severely impacted the U.S. and world economies, the market for health spa services, nutrition supplements and our other business offerings during the end of the first quarter of 2020, and continuing through the end of 2020 and into 2021. Government mandated ‘stay-at-home’ and similar orders have to date, and may in the future, prevent us from operating. In late 2020, we made the decision to discontinue operations of our VISSIA Waterway, Inc. and VISSIA McKinney MedSpa locations, due to declines in customers and issues staffing such facilities, each as a result of the pandemic. Additionally, our Legend Nutrition store saw a deep decline in sales due to social distancing orders and decreases in customers who are willing to venture out to brick-and-mortar establishments. Legend Nutrition’s lease was up January 31, 2021, and the Company chose to not renew the lease, closed the store, and will not continue in this line of business moving forward. We also decided to cease offering construction services around July 2021.

 

As of the date of this Report, our operations are limited, and consist solely of ZipDoctor, Inc., Life Guru, Inc., EPIQ MD, Inc, Mangoceuticals, Inc., and EPIQ Scripts, LLC.

 

Moving forward, economic recessions, including those brought on by the continued COVID-19 outbreak, geopolitical events, including the current military conflict between Russia and the Ukraine, inflationary pressures, or other events, may have a negative effect on the demand for our services and our operating results. Any prolonged disruption to our operations or work force available is likely to have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and ability to meet continuing debt service requirements. All of the above may be exacerbated in the future as the COVID-19 outbreak and the governmental responses thereto continues.

 

Recent Events:

 

On October 7, 2021, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Mangoceuticals, Inc. in the state of Texas with the intent of focusing on developing, marketing and selling a variety of men’s wellness products and services via a telemedicine platform. To date, the Company has identified men’s wellness telemedicine services and products as a growing sector in the most recent years and especially related to the areas of erectile dysfunction and hair loss products. In this regard, Mangoceuticals is currently in the process of developing and preparing to market a new brand of erectile dysfunction (ED) products that delivers fast acting results through a proprietary combination of FDA approved ingredients.

 

Between November 22, 2021 and December 2, 2021, we entered into four separate Securities Purchase Agreements (collectively, the “Purchase Agreements”) with four accredited institutional investors (collectively, the “Investors”), for the sale of convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 (collectively, the “Notes”) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 13,333,332 shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Purchase Agreements, Notes, and Warrants are collectively referred to as the “Transaction Documents”). The Company and the Investors closed the sale of the Notes and Warrants between November 23, 2021 and December 3, 2021. Gross proceeds of $1,800,000 were raised through the sale of the Notes and Warrants.

 

J.H. Darbie & Co., Inc. acted as placement agent for the offering and was paid a total of $188,000 in placement agent fees of which $98,000 was paid in cash and $90,000 was paid in the form of 1,151,678 shares of restricted common stock issued by the Company between November 22, 2021 and December 3, 2021.

Reverse Stock Split

 

We have applied to list our common stock and certain warrants to purchase common stock which we plan to sell in the future in a public offering, on the NASDAQ Capital Market; however, our application to uplist our common stock and certain warrants on the NASDAQ Capital Market may not be approved and our securities may never trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

On July 30, 2021, our board of directors, and on July 30, 2021, stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding voting shares, approved resolutions authorizing a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of our common stock in the range from one-for-two (1-for-2) to one-for-sixty (1-for-60), and provided authority to our board of directors to select the ratio of the reverse stock split in their discretion, at any time prior to the earlier of July 30, 2022 and the date of our 2022 annual meeting of shareholders. On January 25, 2022, our board of directors, pursuant to such shareholder authority, approved a one-for-sixty (1-for-60) reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of our common stock, which is intended to allow us to meet the minimum share price requirement of the NASDAQ Capital Market. Notwithstanding such board of directors approval, the reverse stock split is subject to approval thereof by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA), which approval has not been received yet, and may not be received on a timely basis, if at all. The board of directors approved the reverse stock split in an effort to increase the trading price of the Company’s common stock to a level sufficient to allow an uplisting of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Because FINRA has not yet approved the reverse stock split and the Company has not formally affected the reverse stock split, none of the outstanding share amounts set forth below have been adjusted for such board of directors approved reverse stock split. The board of directors reserves the right to adjust the ratio of the reverse stock split and/or terminate the authority for such reverse stock split in the future.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this Report, we have fifteen full-time employees (two at the parent/ZipDoctor level, nine at the EPIQ MD level, two at the EPIQ Scripts level, and two at the Life Guru level). Our compensation programs are designed to align the compensation of our employees with performance and to provide the proper incentives to attract, retain and motivate employees to achieve superior results. The structure of our compensation programs balances incentives earnings for both short-term and long-term performance such as incentive bonuses and flexible schedules. The Company believes that its rich culture of inclusion and diversity enables it to create, develop and fully leverage the strength of its workforce to exceed customer expectation and meet its growth objectives. The Company places a high value on diversity and inclusion. We also utilize numerous outside consultants. Our future success will depend partially on our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements and have not experienced any strikes or work stoppages. We consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.

 

Government Regulation

 

The health care industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to licensure, conduct of operations, ownership of facilities, addition of facilities and services, payment for services and prices for services that are extremely complex and for which, in many instances, the industry does not have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation. We will also be subject to regulation regarding sale of our products online and solicitation of clients thereby, as well as through our general contractor business and the licensing and code requirements relating thereto.

  The fact that Mr. Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer, has voting control over the Company.

Risks Related to our Business

 

Since we have a limited operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business.

 

Our short operating history in the health and wellness industry and mentoring/life coach industry may hinder our ability to successfully meet our objectives, and makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. As an early-stage company, we are subject to all the risks inherent in the financing, expenditures, operations, complications and delays inherent in a new business. Accordingly, our business and success face risks from uncertainties faced by developing companies in a competitive environment. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.

 

We may not be able to raise capital when needed, if at all, which would force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our service locations and product development programs or commercialization efforts and could cause our business to fail.

 

The Company intends to continue to grow its business both organically and by identifying acquisition targets over the next twelve months in the telemedicine, life coaching and wellness space. We may need to raise additional capital in order to expedite our growth through acquisitions, provided that none are currently planned. Notwithstanding that, we expect to need substantial additional funding to satisfy outstanding debt obligations, pay operating expenses, continue our business plan and pursue additional service locations and product development and commercialize our products and services. There are no assurances that future funding will be available on favorable terms or at all. The failure to fund our operating and capital requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our expansion of spa locations and development programs or any future commercialization efforts. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition and prospects.

 

Our business has been materially and adversely disrupted by COVID-19, and the control response measures that state and local governments have implemented to address it, and may be impacted by other epidemics or pandemics in the future. We have been forced to close our MedSpas and have closed our nutrition store.

 

An epidemic, pandemic or similar serious public health issue, and the measures undertaken by governmental authorities to address it, could significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period, and thereby, and/or along with any associated economic and/or social instability or distress, have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. On March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak, and several states and municipalities have declared public health emergencies. Along with these declarations, there were extraordinary and wide-ranging actions taken by international, federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions across the United States and the world, including quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic, and related social distancing requirements, travel bans, stay-at-home orders and closures limited access to our spas and store and forced us to close our spas and store during the first quarter of 2020 and into the second quarter of 2020 and even though such stores eventually reopened in June and August 2020, customer traffic and demand at our MedSpa locations failed to rebound to pre-closure levels due to COVID-19 and the pandemic’s effects on the economy, and because we were unable to predict the length of the pandemic or ultimate outcome thereof, and further due to our limited capital resources, effective in October, 2020, we made the decision to discontinue operations of both our MedSpa locations.

 

16

 

While our MedSpas were forced to close during the second and third quarters of 2020. Legend Nutrition was able to remain open as an essential business, as we sold vitamins and other nutritional supplements. Though the store was able to remain open, the store saw a deep decline in sales due to social distancing orders and decreases in customers who are willing to venture out to brick-and-mortar establishments. Legend Nutrition’s lease was up January 31, 2021, and the Company chose to not renew the lease, closed the store, and will not continue in this line of business moving forward.

 

We also decided to cease offering construction services around July 2021.

 

All of the above has, in turn, not only negatively impacted our operations, financial condition and demand for our services, but our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Our 2021 financial results were significantly negatively affected by COVID-19 and the closure of our med spas and nutrition store in connection therewith (both due to governmental orders and separately due to our lack of operating funds) and our decision to cease our construction services; however, the full effect on our business and operation as a result of COVID-19 is currently unknown. The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the Company’s ability to generate revenues and cash flows, and uncertainty regarding the length of the disruption may adversely impact our ability to raise additional capital.

 

As of the date of this Report, our operations are limited, and consist solely of ZipDoctor, Inc., Life Guru, Inc., Mangoceuticals, Inc., EPIQ Scripts, LLC, and EPIQ MD, Inc., which have been only minimally affected by COVID-19 as they mainly operate through online platforms.

 

Should the COVID-19 public health effort intensify to such an extent that we cannot operate, if there are prolonged government restrictions on our business and our customers, and/or an extended economic recession or significant inflation, we could be unable to produce revenues and cash flows sufficient to conduct our business; or service our outstanding debt. Such a circumstance could, among other things, exhaust our available liquidity (and ability to access liquidity sources) and/or trigger an acceleration to pay a significant portion or all of our then-outstanding debt obligations, which we may be unable to do.

 

Our business may suffer from the severity or longevity of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 global outbreak.

 

The demand for our services relies upon, among other things, the ability of our telemedicine platform to provide telemedicine services and will in the future rely on the operation of our Life Guru website. Economic recessions, including those brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak may have a negative effect on the demand for our services and our operating results. We have also previously experienced delays due to the COVID-19 outbreak and supply chain issues in receiving products and supplies which we need to operate. All of the above may be exacerbated in the future as the COVID-19 outbreak and the governmental responses thereto continues. All of the above may in the future cause, and have to date caused, a material adverse effect on our operating results.

 

We have recently changed our primary business focus from the operation of MedSpas, a nutrition store and construction services, to telemedicine, life coaching and wellness.

 

Customer traffic and demand at our VISSIA Waterway, Inc. and VISSIA McKinney MedSpa locations which were re-opened after mandatory closures associated with COVID-19 in June and August 2020, respectively, failed to rebound to pre-closure levels due to COVID-19 and the pandemic’s effects on the economy, and because we were unable to predict the length of the pandemic or ultimate outcome thereof, and further due to our limited capital resources, effective in October 2020, we made the decision to close both our VISSIA Waterway, Inc. and VISSIA McKinney MedSpa locations and discontinue operations. Separately, legend Nutrition’s lease was up January 31, 2021, and the Company chose not to renew the lease, closed the store, and not continue in that line of business moving forward. We also decided to cease offering construction services around July 2021. As such, our current operations consist solely of operations in the telemedicine, life coaching and wellness industries, which industries we have only a limited history with. Furthermore, the majority of our revenues for the two years ending December 31, 2020 were generated through our MedSpa, nutrition store and construction services, and as such, our continued ability to generate revenues and support our operations is currently unknown.

 

17

 

We may owe significant amounts to a consultant under the terms of a consulting agreement.

 

On March 8, 2021, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with KBHS, LLC (“KBHS”), whose Chief Executive Officer is Mr. Kevin Harrington, who was appointed the sole member of our then newly formed Advisory Committee. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, KBHS agreed to provide consulting services to the Company as the Company’s Brand Ambassador, including providing endorsement services and advising on marketing, promotions, acquisitions, licensing and business development. KBHS also agreed to up to four webinar appearances on behalf of the Company per year to support the Company’s direct sales efforts. The Consulting Agreement has a term of two years, and can be terminated with ten days prior written notice (subject to applicable cure rights set forth in the Consulting Agreement), in the event we or KBHS breach any term of the agreement, or we fail to pay any amounts due, become subject to any government regulatory investigation, certain lawsuits, claims, actions or take certain other actions during the term of the Consulting Agreement. As consideration for providing the services under the Consulting Agreement, we issued KBHS 1.5 million shares of restricted common stock, which vested immediately upon issuance, and agreed to pay KBHS $10,000 per month, a 5% finder’s fee on any new business introduced or developed by KBHS (of which there has been none to date) and 7.5% of the value of any acquisition or merger created or developed exclusively by KBHS, undertaken by the Company, subject to applicable laws. In the event we fail to pay any consideration due under the Consulting Agreement, such amount accrues interest at the rate of 1.5% per month until paid in full.

 

The requirement to pay the finder’s fees and/or acquisition/merger fee under the agreement could significantly decrease any margin we would otherwise obtain on any transaction, decrease our cash flows, and could prevent us from completing certain transactions in the future, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its securities.

 

We have previously suffered impairment losses, may suffer impairment losses in the future, and may be required to record significant additional charge to earnings.

 

Due to COVID-19’s effects on the economy, and because we are unable to predict the length of the pandemic or ultimate outcome thereof, and further due to our limited capital resources, effective on October 25, 2020, we made the decision to close both MedSpa locations, which are expected to be closed permanently. In accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States of America (“GAAP”), we review our assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. For example, we had an impairment loss of $605,488 primarily attributable to the investment in Life Guru, and settlement loss of $1,041,445 in connection with the common shares issued for note settlements in 2020. Other than a settlement loss of $13,805 for the year ended December 31, 2021, we had no impairment loss nor settlement loss in the year ended December 31, 2021. Goodwill of $29,689 associated with Legend Nutrition was impaired in full during the fourth quarter of 2020. We have other assets, goodwill and equipment on our balance sheet, which may be impaired in the future. Such impairments may have a significant negative effect on our balance sheet, results of operations and financial results, and could cause the value of our common stock to decline in value or become worthless.

 

We face numerous risks associated with our ZipDoctor and EPIQ MD telehealth platforms which only recently commenced operations.

 

In 2020, the Company incorporated two wholly-owned subsidiaries, ZipDoctor, Inc. in the state of Texas and EPIQ MD, Inc. in the state of Nevada.

 

Zip Doctor’s telemedicine platform does not require the customer to have an existing insurance plan and does not demand or require any additional copays. ZipDoctor customers subscribe through the website and are only required to pay a low monthly fee, which is determined based on if they are an individual, a couple, or a family.

 

EPIQ MD is a direct-to-consumer, telemedicine and healthcare company targeting Americans who are uninsured or underinsured. The EPIQ MD service offering is a convergence of primary care telemedicine, preventative care services and wellness programs – under the EPIQ MD brand and on a single platform.

 

18

 

The Company launched the ZipDoctor platform in August 2020 and the EPIQ MD platform in September 2021, and has generated nominal subscriptions and revenues from each platform through their respective soft launch periods. There is no significant operating history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that either of the ZipDoctor and EPIQ MD telemedicine platforms will prove successful, and we may never achieve operations or profitable operations through either platform. Each of our telehealth platforms also faces the following risks, any of which may significantly negatively affect our operations, results of operations, and cash flows and could cause the value of our common stock to decline in value:

 

● Our telehealth platforms could be adversely affected by legal challenges or by actions restricting our ability of our health providers to provide services in certain jurisdictions;

● We will be dependent on the relationships of our partners with health care professionals;

● Evolving government regulations may require increased costs or adversely affect our results of operations;

● The market for telehealth services is new and if it does not develop as we forecast or develops more slowly than we expect our growth may be harmed;

● The market for telehealth services is competitive and we compete with multiple competitors which have more resources and funding than we have and a more well-known brand name;

● Economic uncertainty or downturns, particularly as it impacts particular industries, could adversely affect our business and operating results; and

● We will be entirely dependent on the infrastructure and operations of our partner to operate our telehealth platforms and such infrastructure and operations are completely outside of our control.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our historical financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a report on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, that included an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring operating losses and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity financing or other capital, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures, and, ultimately, generate revenue. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. However, if adequate funds are not available to us when we need it, we will be required to curtail our operations which would, in turn, further raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The doubt regarding our potential ability to continue as a going concern may adversely affect our ability to obtain new financing on reasonable terms or at all. Additionally, if we are unable to continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in the Company.

 

We depend heavily on our Chief Executive Officer, and the loss of his services could harm our business.

 

Our future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our senior management personnel, particularly our Chief Executive Officer and director, Jacob D. Cohen. If we lose his services or if he fails to perform in his current position, or if we are not able to attract and retain skilled personnel as needed, our business could suffer. Significant turnover in our senior management could significantly deplete our institutional knowledge held by our existing senior management team. We depend on the skills and abilities of these key personnel in managing our operations, product development, marketing and sales aspects of our business, any part of which could be harmed by turnover in the future.

 

We expect to face intense competition, often from companies with greater resources and experience than we have.

 

The health, wellness, and mentoring/life coach industries are highly competitive and subject to rapid change. The industries continue to expand and evolve as an increasing number of competitors and potential competitors enter the market. Many of these competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technological, managerial and research and development resources and experience than we have. Competitors for our products include Teladoc, PlushCare and Sesamecare. Some of these competitors and potential competitors have more experience than we have in the development of health and wellness services and products. In addition, our services and products compete with service and product offerings from large and well-established companies that have greater marketing and sales experience and capabilities than we or our collaboration partners have. If we are unable to compete successfully, we may be unable to grow and sustain our revenue.

 

19

 

We are growing the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing any growth we may achieve.

 

As of the date of this Report, we have twelve full-time employees (two at the parent/ZipDoctor level, eight at the EPIQ MD level, and two at the Life Guru level). As our development and commercialization plans and strategies develop, we expect to need additional development, managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, accounting, legal, and other resources. Future growth would impose significant added responsibilities on members of management. Our management may not be able to accommodate those added responsibilities, and our failure to do so could prevent us from effectively managing future growth, if any, and successfully growing our company.

 

We may expend our limited resources to pursue particular products, services or locations and may fail to capitalize on products, locations or services that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success.

 

Because we have limited financial and managerial resources, we must focus our efforts on particular service programs, products and locations. As a result, we may forego or delay pursuit of opportunities with other services, products or locations that later prove to have greater commercial potential. Our resource allocation decisions may cause us to fail to capitalize on viable commercial products or profitable market opportunities. Any such failure could result in missed opportunities and/or our focus on products, services or locations with low market potential, which would harm our business and financial condition.

 

We engage in transactions with related parties and such transactions present possible conflicts of interest that could have an adverse effect on us.

 

We have entered, and may continue to enter, into transactions with related parties for financing, corporate, business development and operational services, as detailed herein. Such transactions may not have been entered into on an arm’s-length basis, and we may have achieved more or less favorable terms because such transactions were entered into with our related parties. This could have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The details of certain of these transactions are set forth under “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”. Such conflicts could cause an individual in our management to seek to advance his or her economic interests or the economic interests of certain related parties above ours. Further, the appearance of conflicts of interest created by related party transactions could impair the confidence of our investors.

 

We have identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. If not remediated, our failure to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and a failure to meet our reporting and financial obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our common stock.

 

Maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and effective disclosure controls and procedures are necessary for us to produce reliable financial statements. As reported in this Report, we have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective at the reasonable assurance level, primarily due to a lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as of December 31, 2021, and continue to be ineffective. Separately, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 and determined that such internal control over financial reporting was not effective as a result of such assessment; and further have not been effective since at least March 31, 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. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.

 

20

 

We recognized the following deficiencies that we believe to be material weaknesses as of December 31, 2021: (a) the Company has not fully designed, implemented or assessed internal controls over financial reporting and due to the Company being a developing company, management’s assessment and conclusion over internal controls were ineffective this year; (b) we recognized the following deficiencies that we believe to be significant deficiencies: (i) the Company has no formal control process related to the identification and approval of related party transactions; (ii) we do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and (iii) we do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.

 

We believe we have taken significant steps during and since the year ended December 31, 2021 to correct certain of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls. These steps include the hiring of a third party CPA firm to assist the Company in resolving the financial statement preparation and disclosure issues, the establishment of an Audit Committee (discussed under “Committees of the Board”, below), and the hiring of Dr. Craig Hewitt to serve as our full-time Chief Financial Officer effective the day after this Report is filed with the SEC. Nonetheless, until these elements have been fully integrated into our organization and we have established appropriate controls and internal processes in consultation with our third party CPA firm and Audit Committee, there is no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls will in fact be effective.

 

Maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures and effective internal control over financial reporting are necessary for us to produce reliable financial statements and the Company is committed to remediating its material weaknesses in such controls as promptly as possible. However, there can be no assurance as to when these material weaknesses will be remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. Any failure to remediate the material weaknesses, or the development of new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and cause us to fail to meet our reporting and financial obligations, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our common stock, and/or result in litigation against us or our management. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements or our periodic reports filed with the SEC.

 

The employment agreement of Mr. Jacob Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer and director provides for the payment of certain severance payments upon termination.

 

Mr. Jacob D. Cohen’s employment agreement provides that if he is terminated during the term of such agreement by the Company without cause (as defined in the agreement) or by Mr. Cohen for good reason (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Cohen is due a severance payment. That severance payment is equal to the compensation (including bonus) earned through the date of termination and three times (one time if less than one year remains on the employment agreement)(the “multiplier”) the base salary in effect on the date of the termination plus the average bonus received by Mr. Cohen over the prior two years and Mr. Cohen is also to be paid any bonus which he would have earned at the end of the fiscal year during which the employment is terminated (pro-rated for days worked), and is to be paid health insurance for Mr. Cohen and his family for 18 months from the date of termination (the “Severance Payments”). Also, all equity compensation due to vest in the following 12 months vests immediately. If Mr. Cohen dies while the employment agreement is in place, or the agreement is terminated due to Mr. Cohen’s disability, the Company is required to pay Mr. Cohen’s salary to his beneficiaries for a period of one year following such death, pay the pro-rated amount of any bonus due, and pay 18 months of health insurance. If a change in control (as defined in the agreement) occurs and Mr. Cohen is terminated up to one year after such change in control, Mr. Cohen is due the Severance Payments (based on a 3x multiplier) and all unvested equity awards vest immediately. The payment of severance fees could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations.

Risks relating to our Telehealth Operations

 

Our telehealth business could be adversely affected by ongoing legal challenges to our business model or by new state actions restricting our ability to provide the full range of our services in certain states.

 

Our ability to conduct planned business operations in each state is dependent upon the state’s treatment of medicine under such state’s laws, and rules and policies governing the practice of physician supervised services, which are subject to changing political, regulatory and other influences.

 

Our use and disclosure of personally identifiable information, including health information, is subject to federal and state privacy and security regulations, and our failure to comply with those regulations or to adequately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm and, in turn, a material adverse effect on our client base and revenue.

 

Numerous state and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability and integrity of personally identifiable information, or PII, including protected health information, or PHI. These laws and regulations include the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their implementing regulations (referred to collectively as HIPAA). HIPAA establishes a set of basic national privacy and security standards for the protection of PHI. HIPAA requires us to develop and maintain policies and procedures with respect to PHI that is used or disclosed, including the adoption of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information. HIPAA imposes mandatory penalties for certain violations. Penalties for violations of HIPAA and its implementing regulations start at $100 per violation and are not to exceed $50,000 per violation, subject to a cap of $1.5 million for violations of the same standard in a single calendar year. However, a single breach incident can result in violations of multiple standards. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents. Courts are able to award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI. In addition, HIPAA mandates that the Secretary of Health and Human Services, or HHS, conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA covered entities or business associates for compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Standards. It also tasks HHS with establishing a methodology whereby harmed individuals who were the victims of breaches of unsecured PHI may receive a percentage of the Civil Monetary Penalty fine paid by the violator. HIPAA further requires that patients be notified of any unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of their unsecured PHI that compromises the privacy or security of such information, with certain exceptions related to unintentional or inadvertent use or disclosure by employees or authorized individuals. HIPAA specifies that such notifications must be made “without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 calendar days after discovery of the breach.” If a breach affects 500 patients or more, it must be reported to HHS without unreasonable delay, and HHS will post the name of the breaching entity on its public web site. Breaches affecting 500 patients or more in the same state or jurisdiction must also be reported to the local media. If a breach involves fewer than 500 people, the covered entity must record it in a log and notify HHS at least annually.

 

Numerous other federal and state laws protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity and security of PII, including PHI. These laws in many cases are more restrictive than, and may not be preempted by, the HIPAA rules and may be subject to varying interpretations by courts and government agencies, creating complex compliance issues for us and our clients and potentially exposing us to additional expense, adverse publicity and liability.

 

Because of the extreme sensitivity of the PII we store and transmit, the security features of our technology platform are very important. If our security measures are breached or fail, unauthorized persons may be able to obtain access to sensitive client data, including HIPAA-regulated PHI. As a result, our reputation could be severely damaged, adversely affecting client confidence. In addition, we could face litigation, damages for contract breach, penalties and regulatory actions for violation of HIPAA and other applicable laws or regulations and significant costs for remediation, notification to individuals and for measures to prevent future occurrences. Any potential security breach could also result in increased costs associated with liability for stolen assets or information, repairing system damage that may have been caused by such breaches, incentives offered to clients in an effort to maintain our business relationships after a breach and implementing measures to prevent future occurrences, including organizational changes, deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees and engaging third-party experts and consultants.

 

22

 

The failure of our 3rd party telemedicine services provider to attract and retain physicians and nurse practitioners in a competitive labor market could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in a slower rate of growth.

 

Our wellness business depends on our ability of our 3rd party telemedicine services provider to continue to recruit and retain a sufficient number of qualified licensed doctors and nurses. Although we believe such provider has an effective recruitment process, there is no assurance that such provider will be able to secure arrangements with sufficient numbers of licensed doctors and nurses or retain the services of such practitioners. If our provider experiences delays or shortages in obtaining access to qualified physicians and nurses, we would be unable to expand our services and operations, resulting in reduced revenues.

 

If the physicians who are available through our telemedicine operations develop a poor reputation, our operations and future revenues would suffer.

 

The success of our wellness business is dependent upon quality medical services being rendered by the physicians who are provided by our 3rd party telemedicine services provider. As the patient-physician relationship involves inherent trust and confidence, any negative publicity, whether from civil litigation, allegations of criminal misconduct, or forfeiture of medical licenses, with respect to any physicians made available for our services, and/or our facilities could adversely affect our future results of operations.

 

If we fail to comply with government laws and regulations it could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

 

The health care industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to licensure, conduct of operations, ownership of facilities, addition of facilities and services, payment for services and prices for services that are extremely complex and for which, in many instances, the industry does not have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation. We exercise care in structuring our arrangements with physicians and other referral sources to comply in all material respects with applicable laws. We will also take such laws into account when planning future centers, marketing and other activities, and expect that our operations will be in compliance with applicable law. The laws, rules and regulations described above are complex and subject to interpretation. In the event of a determination that we are in violation of such laws, rules or regulations, or if further changes in the regulatory framework occur, any such determination or changes could have a material adverse effect on our business. There can be no assurance however that we will not be found in noncompliance in any particular situation.

 

We may not be able to successfully develop, launch and commercialize our planned erectile dysfunction (ED) product or any other potential future men’s wellness products.

 

We may not be able to effectively develop and profitably launch and commercialize our planned erectile dysfunction (ED) product or any other potential future men’s wellness products. If we are unable to successfully develop, produce, launch and commercialize our planned erectile dysfunction (ED) product or any other potential future men’s wellness products, our ability to generate product sales will be severely limited, which will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Changes to our strategic business plan may cause uncertainty regarding the future of our business, and may adversely impact employee hiring and retention, our stock price, and our revenue, operating results, and financial condition.

 

Our recent change in our business focus from operating MedSpas, a nutrition store and construction services, to men’s wellness products and services and telehealth services, life coaching and other wellness services may cause or result in:

 

  disruption of our business or distraction of our employees and management;

 

23

 

  difficulty in recruiting, hiring, motivating and retaining talented and skilled personnel;
     
  stock price volatility; and
     
  difficulty in negotiating, maintaining or consummating business or strategic relationships or transactions.

 

If we are unable to mitigate these or other potential risks, our revenue, operating results and financial condition may be adversely impacted.

 

We will depend on our partners to manufacture our planned erectile dysfunction (ED) product and other potential future men’s wellness products.

 

We will rely on our planned partners for the manufacture of our planned erectile dysfunction (ED) product and any other potential future men’s wellness products and we cannot assure you that they will be successful. This subjects us to a number of risks, including the following:

 

  we may not be able to control the commercialization of our products, including the amount, timing and quality of resources that our partners may devote to our products;
     
  our partners may experience financial, regulatory or operational difficulties, which may impair their ability to fulfill their contractual obligations;
     
  business combinations or significant changes in a partner’s business strategy may adversely affect a partner’s willingness or ability to perform their obligations under any arrangement;
     
  legal disputes or disagreements may occur with one or more of our partners or between our partners and our suppliers or former partners; and
     
  a partner could independently move forward with a competing product developed either independently or in collaboration with others, including with one of our competitors.

 

If any of our partners fail to fulfill their contractual obligations, our business may be negatively affected and we may receive limited or no revenues under our agreements with them.

 

If we are unable to maintain or enter into agreements with suppliers or our suppliers fail to supply us with our planned erectile dysfunction (ED) product or any other potential future men’s wellness products, we may experience delays in selling our products.

 

We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in maintaining or entering into supply agreements on reasonable terms or at all or that we or our suppliers will be able to obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals or state and federal controlled substances registrations for current or potential future suppliers in a timely manner or at all. If we are unable to obtain a sufficient quantity of compounds required to product products, there could be a delay in producing products, which could adversely affect our product sales and operating results materially, which could significantly harm our business.

 

We currently do not have any manufacturing facilities and intend to rely on third parties for the supply of the products, as well as for the supply of materials. However, we cannot be certain that we or our suppliers will be able to obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals or registrations for these suppliers in a timely manner or at all.

 

24

 

Our ability to gain and increase market acceptance and generate revenues will be subject to a variety of risks, many of which are out of our control.

 

Our planned erectile dysfunction (ED) product or any other potential future men’s wellness products may not gain or increase market acceptance among physicians, patients, healthcare payors or the medical community. We believe that the degree of market acceptance and our ability to generate revenues from such products will depend on a number of factors, including:

 

  our ability to expand the use of our products through targeted patient and physician education;
     
  competition and timing of market introduction of competitive products;
     
  quality, safety and efficacy in the approved setting;
     
  prevalence and severity of any side effects, including those of the components of our products;
     
  emergence of previously unknown side effects, including those of the generic components of our products;
     
  potential or perceived advantages or disadvantages over alternative treatments;
     
  the convenience and ease of purchasing the product, as perceived by potential patients;
     
  strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;
     
  price, both in absolute terms and relative to alternative treatments;
     
  the effectiveness of any future collaborators’ sales and marketing strategies;
     
  the effect of current and future healthcare laws;
     
  availability of coverage and reimbursement from government and other third-party payors;
     
  recommendations for prescribing physicians to complete certain educational programs for prescribing drugs;
     
  the willingness of patients to pay out-of-pocket in the absence of government or third-party coverage; and
     
  product labeling, product insert, or new studies or trial requirements of FDA or other regulatory authorities.

 

Our future products may fail to achieve market acceptance or generate significant revenue to achieve sustainable profitability. In addition, our efforts to educate the medical community and third-party payors on the safety and benefits of our drugs may require significant resources and may not be successful.

 

If we become subject to product liability claims, we may be required to pay damages that exceed our insurance coverage, if any.

 

Our future products will be subject to risks for product liability claims due to inherent potential side effects. We may be unable to obtain or maintain product liability coverage. A product liability claim in excess of, or excluded from, our insurance coverage (if any) would have to be paid out of cash reserves and could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations. Product liability insurance is expensive even with large self-insured retentions or deductibles, difficult to maintain, and current or increased coverage may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against a product liability claim, we may incur substantial liabilities. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

 

  injury to our reputation;
     
  costs of defending the claim and/or related litigation;
     
  cost of any potential adverse verdict;
     
  substantial monetary awards to patients or other claimants; and
     
  the inability to commercialize our products.

 

Damages awarded in a product liability action could be substantial and could have a negative impact on our financial condition. Whether or not we were ultimately successful in product liability litigation, such litigation would consume substantial amounts of our financial and managerial resources, and might result in adverse publicity, all of which would impair our business. In addition, product liability claims could result in an FDA investigation of the safety or efficacy of our products, our third-party manufacturing processes and facilities, or our marketing programs. An FDA investigation could also potentially lead to a recall of our future products or more serious enforcement actions, limitations on the indications for which they may be used, or suspension or withdrawal of approval.

 

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and we may be unable to compete successfully against new entrants or established companies.

 

Competition in the pharmaceutical and medical products industries is intense and is characterized by costly and extensive research efforts and rapid technological progress. Our competitors may develop technologies and products that are more effective than those we are planning to market. Such developments could render our planned products less competitive or possibly obsolete.

 

25

 

New developments, including the development of other products and technologies occur in the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries at a rapid pace. These developments may render our products obsolete or noncompetitive. Compared to us, many of our potential competitors have substantially greater:

 

  research and development resources, including personnel and technology;
     
  regulatory experience;
     
  experience and expertise in exploitation of intellectual property rights; and
     
  access to strategic partners and capital resources.

 

As a result of these factors, our competitors may develop drugs or products that are more effective, more useful and less costly than ours and may also be more successful in manufacturing and marketing their products. In addition, our competitors may be more effective in commercializing their products. We currently outsource our manufacturing and therefore rely on third parties for that competitive expertise. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop or contract for these capabilities on acceptable economic terms, or at all.

 

Marketing activities for our planned erectile dysfunction (ED) products are subject to continued governmental regulation.

 

FDA authorities have the authority to impose significant restrictions on approved products through regulations on advertising, promotional and distribution activities. If our future products are marketed in contradiction with FDA laws and regulations, FDA may issue warning letters that require specific remedial measures to be taken, as well as an immediate cessation of the impermissible conduct, resulting in adverse publicity. FDA may also require that all future promotional materials receive prior agency review and approval before use. Certain states have also adopted regulations and reporting requirements surrounding the promotion of pharmaceuticals. Failure by us or any of our collaborators to comply with state requirements may affect our ability to promote or sell future products in certain states. This, in turn, could have a material adverse impact on our financial results and financial condition and could subject us to significant liability, including civil and administrative remedies as well as criminal sanctions.

 

Many of our competitors in the online mail order pharmacy space are better established and have resources significantly greater than we have, which may make it difficult to fend off competition.

 

We plan to operate as a close-door online mail order pharmacy with a specific target and vision to obtain licenses in all 50 states across the U.S. We expect to compete with the three largest drug distributors (McKesson, Cardinal Health and AmerisourceBergen), in addition to other pharmaceutical distributors, buying groups, software products, and various start-up drug companies. Many of these operations have substantially greater financial and manufacturer-backed resources, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than us. In addition, a number of these competitors may combine or form strategic partnerships. As a result, our competitors may establish a more favorable footing in the pharmaceutical industry with respect to pricing or other factors. Our failure to compete successfully with any of these companies would have a material adverse effect on our business and the trading price of our common stock.

 

Additional restrictive elements exist within the pharmaceutical channels of distribution. For example, a number of the inventory management systems, either developed by the distributors or third-party vendors, have been developed to require compliance to these restrictive purchasing agreements. Management anticipates that other existing and prospective competitors will adopt technologies or business plans similar to ours or seek other means to develop operations competitive with ours, particularly if our development of large-scale production progresses as scheduled.

 

26

 

We may not receive licenses to operate as an online mail order pharmacy.

 

Our planned operations as a close-door online mail order pharmacy is subject to among other things, our receipt of regulatory approvals and licenses in the states in which we plan to operate. Our failure to receive regulatory approval or licenses in the states in which we hope to operate may prohibit us from operating as a close-door online mail order pharmacy, be costly, require us to comply with costly rules and regulations, and/or subject us to liability, fines and penalties for non-compliance. We may not be able to receive approvals or licenses to operate in any states and may not be able to undertake any operations as a close-door online mail order pharmacy. Any of the above may have an adverse effect on our revenues, operations and cash flow, and may require us to abandon altogether our business plans.

 

There are inherent risks associated with our planned operations within the Pharmaceutical Distribution Market.

 

There are inherent risks involved with doing business within the pharmaceutical distribution market, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our planned operations, cash flow and revenues, including:

 

  Improperly manufactured products may prove dangerous to the end consumer.
  Products may become adulterated by improper warehousing methods or modes of shipment.
  Counterfeit products or products with fake pedigree papers.
  Unlicensed or unlawful participants in the distribution channel.
  Risk with default and the assumption of credit loss.
  Regulatory risks.
  Risk related to the loss of supply, or the loss of a number of suppliers, or in the delay of obtaining the supply of drugs.

 

Pedigree tracking laws and regulations could increase our regulatory burdens.

 

Congress and state and federal agencies, including state boards of pharmacy and departments of health and the FDA, have made increased efforts in the past year to regulate the pharmaceutical distribution system in order to prevent the introduction of counterfeit, adulterated or mislabeled drugs into the pharmaceutical distribution system (otherwise known as “pedigree tracking”). In November 2013, Congress passed (and President Barack Obama signed into law) the Drug Quality and Security Act (the “DQSA”). The DQSA establishes federal standards requiring supply-chain stakeholders to participate in an electronic, interoperable, lot-level prescription drug track-and-trace system. The law also preempts state drug pedigree requirements and establishes new requirements for drug wholesale distributors and third-party logistics providers, including licensing requirements in states that had not previously licensed such entities.

 

In addition, the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 requires the FDA to establish standards and identify and validate effective technologies for the purpose of securing the pharmaceutical supply chain against counterfeit drugs. These standards may include track-and-trace or authentication technologies, such as radio frequency identification devices, 2D data matrix barcodes, and other similar technologies. On March 26, 2010, the FDA released the Serialized Numerical Identifier (the “SNI”) guidance for manufacturers who serialize pharmaceutical packaging. We expect to be able to accommodate these SNI regulations in our distribution operations. The DQSA and other pedigree tracking laws and regulations have increased the overall regulatory burden and costs associated with our planned drug distribution operations and may have had a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

 

It may be difficult and costly for us to comply with the extensive government regulations to which our business is subject.

 

Our operations are subject to extensive regulation by the U.S. federal and state governments. In addition, as we expand our operations, we may also become subject to the regulations of foreign jurisdictions, as well as additional regulations relating to environmental matters, transportation of pharmaceutical products, shipping restrictions, and import and export restrictions. We are also required to comply with various state pricing gouging laws. Our required compliance, or failure to comply with any of the above rules and regulations, may adversely affect our cash flow, profitability, and growth.

 

27

 

Regulatory and Reporting Risks

 

We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which are expensive and subject us to potential liability.

 

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. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders causes our expenses to be higher than they would be if we remained a privately-held company. We could also be subject to sanctions or deregistration if we fail to keep up with or run afoul of our reporting obligations.

 

Our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls is time consuming, difficult and costly.

 

Because we are a reporting company with the SEC, we must comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls. It is time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In order to expand our operations, we will need to hire additional financial reporting, internal control, and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Securities

 

Shareholders who hold unregistered shares of our common stock will be subject to resale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, if and when available, due to the fact that we are deemed to be a former “shell company”.

 

Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. While we do not believe that we are currently a “shell company”, we were previously a “shell company” and as such are deemed to be a former “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144, and as such, sales of our securities pursuant to Rule 144 may not be able to be made if we are not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and have filed all of our required periodic reports for at least the previous one year period prior to any sale pursuant to Rule 144; and a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 information” has been filed with the Commission reflecting the Company’s status as a non-“shell company” (which Form 10 information was filed by the Company in August 2019). Although to date we have complied with the requirement of Rule 144 as related to “shell companies”, our status as a former “shell company” could prevent us from raising additional funds, engaging consultants, and using our securities to pay for any acquisitions in the future (although none are currently planned).

 

We have various outstanding convertible notes which are convertible into shares of our common stock at a discount to market.

 

As of the date of this Report, we owed approximately $2,648,560 under various convertible promissory notes. The conversion prices of the convertible notes initially vary from between $0.075 per share (as to the convertible notes issued between November 22 and December 2, 2022), and 25% of the market value of our common stock (as to our other convertible notes), subject in many cases to adjustments to the conversion prices upon defaults and anti-dilution and other rights which may result in such conversion prices declining. As a result, any conversion of the convertible notes and sale of shares of common stock issuable in connection with the conversion thereof may cause the value of our common stock to decline in value, as described in greater detail under the Risk Factors below. Notwithstanding the above, we hope to repay the convertible notes in full before any conversions take place.

 

28

 

The issuance and sale of common stock upon conversion of the convertible notes may depress the market price of our common stock.

 

If sequential conversions of the convertible notes and sales of such converted shares take place, the price of our common stock may decline, and as a result, the holders of the convertible notes will be entitled to receive an increasing number of shares in connection with conversions, which shares could then be sold in the market, triggering further price declines and conversions for even larger numbers of shares, to the detriment of our investors. The shares of common stock which the convertible notes are convertible into may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144. As a result, the sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price, if any, of our common stock.

 

In addition, the common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of the company’s stock will decrease, and any additional shares which shareholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. The convertible notes will be convertible into shares of our common stock at a discount to market as described above, and such discount to market provides the holders with the ability to sell their common stock at or below market and still make a profit. In the event of such overhang, the note holders will have an incentive to sell their common stock as quickly as possible. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb the discounted shares, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease. Notwithstanding the above, we hope to repay the convertible notes in full before any conversions take place.

 

The issuance of common stock upon conversion of our outstanding convertible notes will cause immediate and substantial dilution.

 

The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the convertible notes will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the holders of the convertible notes may ultimately receive and sell the full number of shares issuable in connection with the conversion of such convertible notes. Although certain of the convertible notes may not be converted if such conversion would cause the holders thereof to own more than 4.99% or 9.99% of our outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent the holders of the convertible notes subject to such restrictions from converting some of their holdings, selling those shares, and then converting the rest of its holdings, while still staying below the 4.99%/9.99% limit. In this way, the holders of the convertible notes could sell more than any applicable ownership limit while never actually holding more shares than the applicable limits allow. If the holders of the convertible notes choose to do this, it will cause substantial dilution to the then holders of our common stock.

 

The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of the convertible notes could require us to issue a substantially greater number of shares, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and cause dilution to our existing stockholders.

 

Our existing stockholders will experience substantial dilution upon any conversion of the convertible notes. The convertible notes are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to a discount to the market value of our common stock as described above. As a result, the number of shares issuable could prove to be significantly greater in the event of a decrease in the trading price of our common stock, which decrease would cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. As sequential conversions and sales take place, the price of our common stock may decline, and if so, the holders of the convertible notes would be entitled to receive an increasing number of shares, which could then be sold, triggering further price declines and conversions for even larger numbers of shares, which would cause additional dilution to our existing stockholders and would likely cause the value of our common stock to decline.

 

We could face significant penalties for our failure to comply with the terms of our outstanding convertible notes.

 

Our various convertible notes contain positive and negative covenants and customary events of default including requiring us in many cases to timely file SEC reports. In the event we fail to timely file our SEC reports in the future, or any other events of defaults occur under the notes, we could face significant penalties and/or liquidated damages and/or the conversion price of such notes could be adjusted downward significantly, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, or cause any investment in the Company to decline in value or become worthless.

 

29

 

Certain of our outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock contain anti-dilution rights and favored nation rights, and certain of our securities purchase agreements include favored nations rights.

 

We have outstanding warrants to purchase 15,697,499 shares of common stock which were originally granted with exercise prices from between $0.20 and $0.50 per share, include anti-dilution and favored nations rights. Pursuant to such rights, subject to certain exceptions, in the event we issued securities below the then exercise price, the exercise price of the warrants is reduced to the lower of such dilutive issuance or the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of our common stock on the next trading day following the first public disclosure of such dilutive issuance, subject to certain exceptions which may reduce such exercise price further in certain cases, including the issuance of units. Certain of these warrants also include anti-dilution rights which provides for a reduction of the exercise price to match the price per share of any dilutive issuance made while the warrant is outstanding, subject to certain exceptions. If in the future we issue securities at prices less than such exercise price, the exercise price of the warrants may be further reduced to such lower amount. Certain of such warrants also include favored nations provisions which could be triggered in the future and could materially change the terms of the warrants. In the event any anti-dilution or favored nations provisions of the warrants are triggered, it may cause the terms of such warrants to be materially amended in favor of the holders thereof, cause significant dilution to existing shareholders, and otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Our outstanding convertible promissory notes include favored nations rights.

 

All of our outstanding convertible promissory notes include provisions which provide that, so long as such notes are outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company (or under certain notes, any of its subsidiaries) of any security, or amendment to a security that was originally issued, with any term that the holder of such note reasonably believes is more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that the holder reasonably believes was not similarly provided to the holder in such note, then at the option of the holder, such term may become part of the holder’s notes. The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing prepayment rate, interest rates, and original issue discounts. Such favored nations provisions could be triggered in the future and could materially change the terms of the notes. In the event any favored nations provisions of the notes are triggered, it may cause the terms of such notes to be materially amended in favor of the holders thereof, cause significant dilution to existing shareholders, and otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

The issuance and sale of common stock upon exercise of warrants may cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders and may also depress the market price of our common stock.

 

As of the date of this Report, we had a total of 23,253,332 warrants outstanding, of which a) 7,250,000 warrants have an exercise price of $0.075 per share and mature on January 6, 2026, b) 2,670,000 warrants have an exercise price of $0.075 per share and mature on June 24, 2026, and c) 13,333,332 warrants mature between November 23, 2026 and December 2, 2026 and have an exercise price equal to either i) in the event of the Company’s listing on a national exchange by May 23, 2022, at a price equal to 120% of the offering price upon uplisting, or ii) $0.075 per share. The warrants contain provisions limiting each holder’s ability to exercise the warrants if such exercise would cause the holder’s (or any affiliate of any such holder) holdings in the Company to exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (4.99% in connection with the Warrants). The ownership limitation does not prevent such holder from exercising some of the warrants, selling those shares, and then exercising the rest of the warrants, while still staying below the 9.99% limit (4.99% in connection with the Warrants). In this way, the holders of the warrants could sell more than this limit while never actually holding more shares than this limit allows. If the holders of the warrants choose to do this, it will cause substantial dilution to the then holders of our common stock.

 

If exercises of the warrants and sales of such shares issuable upon exercise thereof take place, the price of our common stock may decline. In addition, the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of the company’s stock will decrease, and any additional shares which shareholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb shares sold by the warrant holders, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease.

 

30

 

The issuance of common stock upon conversion of our outstanding convertible promissory notes will cause immediate and substantial dilution to existing shareholders.

 

As of the date of this Report, we owed approximately $2,648,560 under various convertible promissory notes. The conversion prices of the convertible notes initially vary from between $0.075 per share (as to the convertible notes issued between November 22 and December 2, 2022), and 25% of the market value of our common stock (as to our other convertible notes), subject in many cases to adjustments to the conversion prices upon defaults and anti-dilution and other rights which may result in such conversion prices declining. Although the Notes may not be converted by a holder if such conversion would cause the holder to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent such holder from converting some of its holdings, selling those shares, and then converting the rest of its holdings, while still staying below the 4.99% limit. In this way, the holders of the Notes could sell more than this limit while never actually holding more shares than this limit allows. If the holders of the Notes choose to do this, it will cause substantial dilution to the then holders of our common stock.

 

The issuance and sale of common stock upon conversion of our outstanding convertible promissory notes may depress the market price of our common stock.

 

If conversions of our outstanding convertible notes and sales of such converted shares take place, the price of our common stock may decline. In addition, the common stock issuable upon conversion of our outstanding convertible notes may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of the company’s stock will decrease, and any additional shares which shareholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb converted shares sold by the holders of the Notes, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease.

 

We currently owe a significant amount of money under our outstanding convertible notes.

 

As of the date of this Report we owe approximately $2,648,560 under outstanding convertible and non-convertible promissory notes. We do not have sufficient funds to repay such notes and if we are unable to raise additional funds in the future to repay such amounts, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, such failure could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations and cause any investment in the Company to decline in value or become worthless.

 

We have established preferred stock which can be designated by the Company’s Board of Directors without shareholder approval and the board has established Series A Preferred Stock, which gives the holders majority voting power over the Company.

 

The Company has 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. The shares of preferred stock of the Company may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which shall have a distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The preferred stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as adopted by the board of directors. In May 2020, we designated three shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock have the right, voting in aggregate, to vote on all shareholder matters equal to sixty percent (60%) of the total vote (the “Super Majority Voting Rights”), so long as such shares are held by directors of the Company. A total of one share of Series A Preferred Stock is currently outstanding and held by Jacob D. Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer and director, providing him sole voting right over 60% of our voting shares.

 

Because the board of directors is able to designate the powers and preferences of the preferred stock without the vote of a majority of the Company’s shareholders, shareholders of the Company will have no control over what designations and preferences the Company’s preferred stock will have. The issuance of shares of preferred stock or the rights associated therewith, could cause substantial dilution to our existing shareholders. Additionally, the dilutive effect of any preferred stock which we may issue may be exacerbated given the fact that such preferred stock may have voting rights and/or other rights or preferences which could provide the preferred shareholders with substantial voting control over us and/or give those holders the power to prevent or cause a change in control, even if that change in control might benefit our shareholders (similar to the Series A Preferred Stock). As a result, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may cause the value of our securities to decrease.

 

31

 

Stockholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

 

We have no committed source of financing. Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock and designate series of preferred stock. In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock (or convertible securities), possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing stockholders, may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.

 

Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our stockholders.

 

The stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies quoted on the OTC Markets’ OTCQB Market, where our shares of common stock are quoted, generally have been very volatile and have experienced sharp share-price and trading-volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:

 

  variations in our operating results;
     
  changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;
     
  changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry;
     
  additions or departures of key personnel; and
     
  future sales of our common stock.

 

Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock. In particular, following initial public offerings, the market prices for stocks of companies often reach levels that bear no established relationship to the operating performance of these companies. These market prices are generally not sustainable and could vary widely. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated.

 

Our common shares are thinly-traded, and in the future, may continue to be thinly-traded, and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all, if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate such shares.

 

We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained due to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer that could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, an investment in us is a speculative or “risky” investment due to our lack of revenues or profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer.

 

32

 

Our common stock is currently subject to penny stock rules, which may make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their common stock.

 

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the SEC. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a purchase or sale of a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver to the customer a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and director holds majority voting control over the Company.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and director, Jacob D. Cohen, beneficially owns 28.7% of our outstanding common stock and also has the ability to vote in aggregate, a separate 60% of our voting stock pursuant to his ownership of the one outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, which gives him control over approximately 71.5% of our voting securities. As a result, Mr. Cohen has the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders and will therefore exercise control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Any investor who purchases shares will be a minority stockholder and as such will have little to no say in the direction of the Company and the election of directors. Additionally, it will be difficult if not impossible for investors to remove Mr. Cohen as a director, which will mean he will remain in control of who serves as officers of the Company as well as whether any changes are made in the board of directors. As a potential investor in the Company, you should keep in mind that even if you own shares of the Company’s common stock and wish to vote them at annual or special stockholder meetings, your shares will likely have little effect on the outcome of corporate decisions. Because Mr. Cohen controls such vote, investors may find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. Additionally, the interests of Mr. Cohen may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are averse to other stockholders.

 

We currently have limited operations and may not generate significant revenues or be profitable in the future.

 

Our current operations consist solely of ZipDoctor, Inc., Life Guru, Inc., EPIQ MD, Inc., EPIQ Scripts, LLC, and Mangoceuticals, Inc. We may not be successful in our planned operations in the future and can make no assurances that we will be able to generate significant revenues in the future, that we will have sufficient funding to support our operations and pay our expenses, or that we will ever become profitable. In the event we are unable to generate revenues and/or support our operations, we will be forced to curtail and/or abandon our current business plan and any investment in the Company could become worthless.

Risks Related to the Planned Reverse Stock Split

 

On July 30, 2021, our board of directors, and on July 30, 2021, stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding voting shares, approved resolutions authorizing a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of our common stock in the range from one-for-two (1-for-2) to one-for-sixty (1-for-60), and provided authority to our board of directors to select the ratio of the reverse stock split in their discretion, at any time prior to the earlier of July 30, 2022 and the date of our 2022 annual meeting of shareholders. On January 25, 2022, our board of directors, pursuant to such shareholder authority, approved a one-for-sixty (1-for-60) reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of our common stock, which is intended to allow us to meet the minimum share price requirement of the NASDAQ Capital Market. Notwithstanding such board of directors approval, the reverse stock split is subject to approval thereof by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA), which approval has not been received yet, and may not be received on a timely basis, if all. The board of directors approved the reverse stock split in an effort to increase the trading price of the Company’s common stock to a level sufficient to allow an uplisting of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Because FINRA has not yet approved the reverse stock split and the Company has not formally affected the reverse stock split, none of the outstanding share amounts set forth below have been adjusted for such board of directors approved reverse stock split. The board of directors reserves the right to adjust the ratio of the reverse stock split and/or terminate the authority for such reverse stock split in the future.

 

We anticipate effecting a reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock in the future.

 

We expect that the reverse stock split will increase the market price of our common stock while our stock is trading and enable us to meet the minimum market price requirement of the listing rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, the effect of a reverse stock split upon the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with certainty, and the results of reverse stock splits by companies in similar circumstances have been varied. It is possible that the market price of our common stock following the reverse stock split will not increase sufficiently for us to be in compliance with the minimum market price requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market, or if it does, that such price will be sustained. If we are unable to meet the minimum market price requirement, we may be unable to list our shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Even if the market price of our common stock increases sufficiently so that we comply with the minimum market price requirement, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with the other standards that we are required to meet in order to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market or maintain a listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our failure to meet these requirements may result in our common stock being unable to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

The reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our common stock.

 

The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be affected adversely by the reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following the reverse stock split. In addition, the reverse stock split may increase the number of stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our common stock, creating the potential for such stockholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty affecting such sales.

 

The reverse stock split may not increase our stock price over the long-term.

 

The principal purpose of the reverse stock split is to increase the per-share market price of our common stock. It cannot be assured, however, that the reverse stock split will accomplish this objective for any meaningful period. While it is expected that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of common stock will proportionally increase the market price of the Company’s common stock, it cannot be assured that the reverse stock split will increase the market price of our common stock by a multiple of the proposed reverse stock split ratio, or result in any permanent or sustained increase in the market price of our common stock, which is dependent upon many factors, including our business and financial performance, general market conditions, and prospects for future success. Thus, while our stock price might meet the initial and continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq Capital Market initially, it cannot be assured that it will continue to do so.

General Risk Factors

 

We will continue to incur increased costs as a result of being a reporting company, and given our limited capital resources, such additional costs may have an adverse impact on our profitability.

 

We are an SEC reporting company. The rules and regulations under the Exchange Act require reporting companies to provide periodic reports with interactive data files, which require that we engage legal, accounting and auditing professionals, and eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) and EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval) service providers. The engagement of such services can be costly, and we may continue to incur additional losses, which may adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, as well as a variety of related rules implemented by the SEC, have required changes in corporate governance practices and generally increased the disclosure requirements of public companies. For example, as a result of being a reporting company, we are required to file periodic and current reports and other information with the SEC and we have adopted policies regarding disclosure controls and procedures and regularly evaluate those controls and procedures.

 

The additional costs we continue to incur in connection with becoming a reporting company (expected to be approximately a hundred thousand dollars per year) will continue to further stretch our limited capital resources. Due to our limited resources, we have to allocate resources away from other productive uses in order to continue to comply with our obligations as an SEC reporting company. Further, there is no guarantee that we will have sufficient resources to continue to meet our reporting and filing obligations with the SEC as they come due.

 

Our acquisitions may expose us to unknown liabilities.

 

Because we have acquired, and expect generally to acquire, all (or a majority of) the outstanding securities of certain of our acquisition targets, our investment in those companies is or will be subject to all of their liabilities other than their respective debts which we paid or will pay at the time of the acquisitions. If there are unknown liabilities or other obligations, our business could be materially affected. We may also experience issues relating to internal controls over financial reporting that could affect our ability to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or that could affect our ability to comply with other applicable laws.

 

We may have difficulty obtaining future funding sources, if needed, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect stockholders.

 

We will need to raise funds from additional financing in the future to complete our business plan and may need to raise additional funding in the future to support our operations. We have no commitments for any financing and any financing commitments may result in dilution to our existing stockholders. We may have difficulty obtaining additional funding, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect our stockholders. For example, the terms of any future financings may impose restrictions on our right to declare dividends or on the manner in which we conduct our business. Additionally, we may raise funding by issuing additional convertible notes, which if converted into shares of our common stock would dilute our then stockholders’ interests. Lending institutions or private investors may impose restrictions on a future decision by us to make capital expenditures, acquisitions or significant asset sales. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may be forced to curtail or even abandon our business plan.

 

If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.

 

If we make acquisitions in the future, funding permitting, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired company’s assets, personnel and operations with our own. We do not anticipate that any acquisitions or mergers we may enter into in the future would result in a change of control of the Company. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:

 

  the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations;

 

35

 

  the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;
     
  difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
     
  the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;
     
  the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;
     
  the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired;
     
  potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or operations, or the defense of any litigation, whether or not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition; and
     
  potential expenses under the labor, environmental and other laws of various jurisdictions.

 

Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with an acquisition, many of which cannot be presently identified. These risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Current global financial conditions have been characterized by increased volatility which could negatively impact our business, prospects, liquidity and financial condition.

 

Current global financial conditions and recent market events have been characterized by increased volatility and the resulting tightening of the credit and capital markets has reduced the amount of available liquidity and overall economic activity. We cannot guaranty that debt or equity financing, the ability to borrow funds or cash generated by operations will be available or sufficient to meet or satisfy our initiatives, objectives or requirements. Our inability to access sufficient amounts of capital on terms acceptable to us for our operations will negatively impact our business, prospects, liquidity and financial condition.

 

Our ability to service our indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future.

 

Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our ability to generate cash is subject to general economic and market conditions and financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Our business may not generate sufficient cash to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditure, debt service and other liquidity needs, which could result in our inability to comply with financial and other covenants contained in our debt agreements, our being unable to repay or pay interest on our indebtedness, and our inability to fund our other liquidity needs. If we are unable to service our debt obligations, fund our other liquidity needs and maintain compliance with our financial and other covenants, we could be forced to curtail our operations, our creditors could accelerate our indebtedness and exercise other remedies and we could be required to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as selling assets or refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness. However, such alternatives may not be feasible or adequate.

 

Our potential for rapid growth and our entry into new markets make it difficult for us to evaluate our current and future business prospects, and we may be unable to effectively manage any growth associated with these new markets, which may increase the risk of your investment and could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

 

Our entry into the rapidly growing health, wellness, and mentoring/life coaching market may place a significant strain on our resources and increase demands on our executive management, personnel and systems, and our operational, administrative and financial resources may be inadequate. We may also not be able to effectively manage any expanded operations, or achieve planned growth on a timely or profitable basis, particularly if the number of customers using our technology significantly increases or their demands and needs change as our business expands. If we are unable to manage expanded operations effectively, we may experience operating inefficiencies, the quality of our products and services could deteriorate, and our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

36

 

If we are unable to develop and maintain our brand and reputation for our service and product offerings, our business and prospects could be materially harmed.

 

Our business and prospects depend, in part, on developing and then maintaining and strengthening our brand and reputation in the markets we serve. If problems arise with our products or services, our brand and reputation could be diminished. If we fail to develop, promote and maintain our brand and reputation successfully, our business and prospects could be materially harmed.

 

We may not maintain sufficient insurance coverage for the risks associated with our business operations.

 

Risks associated with our business and operations include, but are not limited to, claims for wrongful acts committed by our officers, directors, and other representatives, the loss of intellectual property rights, the loss of key personnel, risks posed by natural disasters and risks of lawsuits from customers who are injured from or dissatisfied with our services. Any of these risks may result in significant losses. We cannot provide any assurance that our insurance coverage is sufficient to cover any losses that we may sustain, or that we will be able to successfully claim our losses under our insurance policies on a timely basis or at all. If we incur any loss not covered by our insurance policies, or the compensated amount is significantly less than our actual loss or is not timely paid, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends.

 

We presently do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends on any of our capital stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, would be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of our board of directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings, if any, to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our technology and our brand.

 

Our success depends in part on our ability to enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. We rely upon a combination of trademark and trade secret laws, as well as license and other contractual provisions, to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. These laws, procedures and restrictions provide only limited protection and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed or misappropriated. To the extent that our intellectual property and other proprietary rights are not adequately protected, third parties may gain access to our proprietary information, develop and market solutions similar to ours or use trademarks similar to ours, each of which could materially harm our business. The failure to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

For all of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become a party to lawsuits involving various matters. The impact and outcome of litigation, if any, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm its business.

 

Such current litigation or other legal proceedings are described in, and incorporated by reference in, this “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K from, “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Note 17. Uncertainties”. The Company believes the ultimate resolution of any such current proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on our continued financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, assessment of the current litigation or other legal claims could change in light of the discovery of facts not presently known to the Company or by judges, juries or other finders of fact, which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

 

Additionally, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the Company’s financial condition and operating results for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

Market Information

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB Market maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol “AMIH”. At present, there is a very limited market for our common stock. The OTC Market is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current “bids” and “asks”, as well as volume information. The following table sets forth the range of high and low sales prices for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCQB Market. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

 

   Fiscal 2021   Fiscal 2020

As of March 29, 2022, our shares of common stock were held by approximately 253 stockholders of record.

 

Dividends

 

We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain all future earnings for use in our business. Consequently, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our results of operations, as well as our short-term and long-term cash availability, working capital, working capital needs, and other factors as determined by our board of directors. Currently, except as may be provided by applicable laws, there are no contractual or other restrictions on our ability to pay dividends if we were to decide to declare and pay them.

 

Description of Capital Stock

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 195,000,000 shares of common stock with a $0.0001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $0.0001 par value per share. As of the date of this Report, we have designated three shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. As of the date of this Report, there are 95,797,773 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, one share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The following is a summary of the material provisions of the common stock and preferred stock provided for in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. For additional detail about our capital stock, please refer to our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

 

Common Stock

 

Voting Rights. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all stockholder matters. Shares of our common stock do not possess any cumulative voting rights.

 

Except for the election of directors, if a quorum is present, an action on a matter is approved if it receives the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, unless otherwise required by applicable law, Nevada law, our Articles of Incorporation, as amended or Bylaws, as amended. The election of directors will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast in respect of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote, meaning that the nominees with the greatest number of votes cast, even if less than a majority, will be elected. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be impacted by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we have designated, or may designate and issue in the future.

 

40

 

Dividend Rights. Each share of our common stock is entitled to equal dividends and distributions per share with respect to the common stock when, as and if declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential or other rights of any outstanding preferred stock.

 

Liquidation and Dissolution Rights. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata on a share-for-share basis, the assets available for distribution to the stockholders after payment of liabilities and payment of preferential and other amounts, if any, payable on any outstanding preferred stock.

 

Fully Paid Status. All outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Other Matters. No holder of any shares of our common stock has a preemptive right to subscribe for any of our securities, nor are any shares of our common stock subject to redemption or convertible into other securities.

 

Preferred Stock

 

On May 18, 2020, the board of directors of the Company approved the filing of (a) an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock” and the “Series A Designation”); and (b) an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and the “Series B Designation”), with the Secretary of State of Nevada, which designations were filed with, and became effective with, the Secretary of State of Nevada on the same date. The Series A Designation designated three shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Designation designated 2,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

The Series A Designation provides for the Series A Preferred Stock to have the following rights:

 

Dividend Rights. The Series A Preferred Stock do not accrue dividends.

 

Liquidation Preference. The Series A Preferred Stock have no liquidation preference.

 

Conversion Rights. The Series A Preferred Stock have no conversion rights.

 

Voting Rights. For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding, the holders thereof, voting separately as a class, have the right to vote on all shareholder matters (including, but not limited to at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company and upon any action taken by stockholders of the Company with or without a meeting) equal to sixty percent (60%) of the total vote (the “Total Series A Vote” and the “Voting Rights”). For example, if there are 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding at the time of a shareholder vote, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, will have the right to vote an aggregate of 15,000 shares, out of a total number of 25,000 shares voting.

 

Additionally, so long as Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class (i) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company so as to adversely affect the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) effect any reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) designate any additional series of preferred stock, the designation of which adversely effects the rights, privileges, preferences or limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock; or (iv) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Series A Designation (except in connection with certain non-material technical amendments).

 

41

 

Notwithstanding the above, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by any person who is not a then member of the board of directors of the Company (each a “Non-Director Holder”), shall have any Voting Rights and the Voting Rights of all other shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including, but not limited to the Total Series A Vote) shall be calculated without regard to, and without taking into account, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Non-Director Holder.

 

Redemption Right. The Company has the option in its sole discretion, at any time, with the majority consent or approval of the board of directors of the Company, to redeem any outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company held by any Non-Director Holder, by paying the Non-Director Holder(s) a redemption price of $1.00 per share for each such Series A Preferred Stock shares redeemed (the “Redemption Amount”, and each a “Redemption”). The payment by the Company to the Non-Director Holder (at such Non-Director Holder’s address of record) of the Redemption Amount in connection with a Redemption automatically results in the cancellation, termination and invalidation of any outstanding Series A Preferred Stock held by a Non-Director Holder or his, her or its assigns.

 

Purchase Right. In the event the Company is legally prohibited from exercising the redemption right discussed above, any one or more of the other holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, other than any Non-Director Holder(s) (the “Director Holders”), have the option, exercisable in their sole discretion, to purchase their pro rata share of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by any Non-Director Holder(s) for $1.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Purchase Amount”, and the “Purchase”). The payment by the Director Holder(s) of the Series A Preferred Stock to the Non-Director Holder of the Purchase Amount automatically, and without any required action by the Director Holder(s) or the Non-Director Holder, results in the transfer of the rights to, and ownership of, such Series A Preferred Stock held by a Non-Director Holder or his, her or its assigns, to the Director Holder(s), pro rata with their payment of the Purchase Amount.

 

Protective Provisions. Subject to the rights of series of preferred stock which may from time to time come into existence, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company cannot without first obtaining the approval (by written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a class:

 

(a) Issue any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock after the original issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

 

(b) Increase or decrease the total number of authorized or designated shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Series B Designation provides for the Series B Preferred Stock to have the following rights:

 

Dividend Rights. The Series B Preferred Stock does not accrue any dividends, but the Series B Preferred Stock holders are entitled to share in dividends paid to the holders of the Company’s common stock to the same extent that such holders would have received such dividends had they converted the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock pursuant to the conversion rights discussed below.

 

Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary (each a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive pari passu with any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Company’s common stock, but not prior to any holders of senior securities (which include holders of capital leases, other preferred stock and debt holders, and banks or others, which hold priority liquidation preferences over the assets of the Company), which holders of the senior securities have priority to the distribution of any assets of the Company, an amount per share for each share of Series B Preferred Stock held by them equal to $1.00 per share.

 

Conversion Rights. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted, at the option of the holder thereof, into that number of shares of common stock of the Company as equals $1.00 divided by 90% of the average of the volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common, for the five trading days immediately preceding the date the notice of conversion is received, with any remainder rounded to the hundredths place. Notwithstanding the above, at no time may the Series B Preferred Stock be converted into shares of our common stock by any holder, if such conversion would result in such holder thereof and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 4.999% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, which amount may be increased to 9.999% on a per holder basis, upon 61 days’ prior written notice.

 

Voting Rights.

No shares of Series B Preferred Stock are currently outstanding.

Anti-Takeover Provisions Under the Nevada Revised Statutes

 

Business Combinations

 

Sections 78.411 to 78.444 of the Nevada revised statutes (the “NRS”) prohibit a Nevada corporation from engaging in a “combination” with an “interested stockholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested stockholder and places certain restrictions on such combinations even after the expiration of the three-year period. With certain exceptions, an interested stockholder is a person or group that owns 10% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting power (including stock with respect to which the person has voting rights and any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement, arrangement, or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange rights) or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 10% or more of such voting stock at any time within the previous three years.

 

A Nevada corporation may elect not to be governed by Sections 78.411 to 78.444 by a provision in its Articles of Incorporation. We do not have such a provision in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, pursuant to which we have elected to opt out of Sections 78.411 to 78.444; therefore, these sections apply to us.

 

Control Shares

 

Nevada law also seeks to impede “unfriendly” corporate takeovers by providing in Sections 78.378 to 78.3793 of the NRS that an “acquiring person” shall only obtain voting rights in the “control shares” purchased by such person to the extent approved by the other stockholders at a meeting. With certain exceptions, an acquiring person is one who acquires or offers to acquire a “controlling interest” in the corporation, defined as one-fifth or more of the voting power. Control shares include not only shares acquired or offered to be acquired in connection with the acquisition of a controlling interest, but also all shares acquired by the acquiring person within the preceding 90 days. The statute covers not only the acquiring person but also any persons acting in association with the acquiring person.

 

A Nevada corporation may elect to opt out of the provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793 of the NRS. We do not have a provision in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation pursuant to which we have elected to opt out of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793; therefore, these sections do apply to us.

 

Removal of Directors

 

Section 78.335 of the NRS provides that 2/3rds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company are required to remove a Director from office. As such, it may be more difficult for stockholders to remove Directors due to the fact the NRS requires greater than majority approval of the stockholders for such removal.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

The following provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws could have the effect of delaying or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us and could encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors:

 

  no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;
     
  the right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, with our stockholders only allowed to fill such a vacancy if not filled by the board;
     
  the ability of our board of directors to alter our Bylaws without obtaining stockholder approval; and
     
  the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the board of directors, the Chairman of the Board, the President or a committee of the board of directors duly designated and whose powers and authority include the power to call meetings may call special meetings of the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future results of the Company that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industry in which the Company operates and the beliefs and assumptions of the management of the Company. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this Report, particularly under “Risk Factors,” and in other reports we file with the SEC. All references to years relate to the calendar year ended December 31 of the particular year. See also “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, above.

Plan of Operations

 

The Company intends to continue to grow its business both organically and by identifying acquisition targets over the next twelve months in the telemedicine, life coaching and wellness space. As these opportunities arise, the Company will determine the best method for financing its growth, which may include the issuance of additional debt instruments, common stock, preferred stock, or a combination thereof, any of which may cause significant dilution to existing shareholders. We expect to raise funds in the future through the sale of debt and/or equity in order to allow us to operate for the next twelve months, and may need to raise further additional capital in order to expedite our growth through acquisitions, none of which are currently planned.

Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

We had revenues of $20,169 and $2,115 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in revenues in 2021 was due primarily to our change in business strategy. We recognized revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606. A five-step process has been designed for the individual or pool of contracts to keep financial statements focused on this principle. Revenues from fixed-price and cost-plus contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, whereby revenues on long-term contracts were recorded on the basis of the Company’s estimates of the percentage of completion of contracts based on the ratio of actual cost incurred to total estimated costs. This cost-to-cost method was used because management considered it to be the best available measure of progress on these contacts. Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts were recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned, measured on the cost-to-cost method. Revenues from time-and-material and rate chart contracts were recognized currently as work is performed. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized revenues of $20,169 in connection with membership income from ZipDoctor. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized revenues of $2,115.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

We had cost of revenues of $39,738 and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Cost of revenues include all direct material, sub-contractor, labor and certain other direct costs, as well as those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and fringe benefits. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Operating Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $6,975,654 and $3,711,317 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in 2021 was due primarily to stock-based compensation in the amount of $4,986,143 (including $4,334,857 in stock issued for services rendered and $601,852 in stock issued for in process research and development), which totaled $2,860,813 in 2020, stock-and professional expenses incurred as a public company such as legal expenses in the amount of $242,293 for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $112,175 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance expenses in the amount of $131,608 for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $99,003 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Other Expenses

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, we incurred interest expense of $184,589 and $219,202, respectively, of which $1,979 and $3,345, respectively, were recorded as imputed interest in connection with related party loans.

 

Amortization of debt discount was $1,958,298 and $777,964 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

We had a loss of $1,071,028 and a loss of $107,574 during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, due to change in derivative liabilities. See also “Note 12 – Derivative Liabilities”, in the notes to unconsolidated financial statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data” of this Report, for a more detailed discussion of gain (loss) in derivative liabilities which is non-cash.

 

47

 

We had a settlement loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 of $16,359 compared to a settlement loss of $1,041,445 for the year ended December 31, 2020, each in connection with debt settlements that occurred during the respective periods.

 

We also had no impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to an impairment loss of $605,488 for the year ended December 31, 2020 in connection with the common shares issued for notes settlement during the applicable period.

 

Discontinued operations

 

Customer traffic and demand at our VISSIA Waterway, Inc. and VISSIA McKinney MedSpa locations which were re-opened after mandatory closures associated with COVID-19 in June and August 2020, respectively, failed to rebound to pre-closure levels due to COVID-19 and the pandemic’s effects on the economy, and because we are unable to predict the length of the pandemic or ultimate outcome thereof, and further due to our limited capital resources, effective in October 2020, we made the decision to close both our VISSIA Waterway, Inc. and VISSIA McKinney locations and discontinued such operations. As such locations are closed, they are not generating any revenue. The continuing expenses, without corresponding revenues, may have a significant negative affect on our results of operations and cash flows. Separately, Legend Nutrition’s lease was up January 31, 2021, and the Company chose not to renew the lease, closed the store, and not continue in that line of business moving forward.

 

VISSIA Waterway, Inc., VISSIA McKinney LLC Legend Nutrition and Capitol City Solutions USA, Inc. (collectively referred to as “Discontinued Subsidiaries”) have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, and are summarized below:

 

   The Years Ended December 31, 
   2021   2020 
Revenue  $2,530   $6,107,106 
Cost of revenue   -    5,058,373 
Gross profit   2,530    1,048,813 
Operating expenses   57,659    1,205,993 
Loss from operations   (55,130)   (157,180)
Other income (expenses)   299,716    (722,057)
Net income (loss)  $244,586   $(879,237)

 

Net Loss

 

We had a net loss of $9,980,911, or $0.14 per share from continuing operations and net income of $244,586 or $0.00 per share from discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2021, for a total net loss of $10,008,362 or $0.14 per share. We had a net loss of $7,339,890, or $0.18 per share from continuing operations and $879,237 or $0.02 per share from discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2020, totaling an aggregate of $7,339,890 or $0.18 per share in total net loss. The increase in net loss in 2021 was primarily attributable to non-cash expenses in connection with stock-based compensation, amortization of debt discount, the change in derivative values associated with outstanding convertible debt, settlement loss in connection with the common shares issued for notes settlement, and the decrease in gross profit and revenues, each as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had total assets of $1,213,647 and $38,539, respectively, including $0 and $0 of assets of discontinued operations, respectively. The main reason for the increase in total assets as of December 31, 2021, compared to December 30, 2020, was due to a $1,184,593 increase in cash, which was mainly due to the proceeds received from the Company’s financing activities and issuances of convertible notes, offset by the $208,984 decrease in assets of discontinued operations.

 

48

 

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had total liabilities of $5,100,557 and $1,656,529, respectively, which consisted of accounts payable, accrued interest and accrued compensation in the amount of $252,194 and $211,271, respectively, convertible notes payable (net of discount) and loans payable to related parties and non-related parties (net of discount) in the amounts of $396,419, $75,000 and $123,473 and $74,827, $55,000 and $135,392 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and derivative liabilities of $4,141,272 and $517,366, respectively. We also had $112,199 and $669,574 of net liabilities related to discontinued operations. The Company had a total stockholders’ deficit of $3,869,111 and $1,391,007 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $2,211,762, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2,153,263 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Negative cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2021, were due primarily to the net loss of $10,225,497 and change in derivative liabilities of $2,469,697, partially offset by non-cash expenses, including stock-based compensation of $4,334,857, amortization of debt discount of $1,958,298, derivative expense of $3,540,725, loss on loans settlement of $58,059, and in process research and development of $601,852 Comparatively, negative cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2020, were due primarily to the net loss of $6,460,653, partially offset by non-cash expenses, including stock-based compensation of $2,860,813, amortization of debt discount of $777,965, loss on loans settlement by $1,155,685, and impairment loss of $670,280.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had cash provided by investing activities of $10,000 and cash used in investing activities of $27,392, respectively. The net cash used in investing activities in each year was solely attributable to capital expenditures for and disposal of property and equipment.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $3,386,335 and $947,180, respectively, primarily attributable to the proceeds from notes payable to related parties and non-related parties during the respective periods. We had proceeds of $141,928 from related party borrowings and $3,738,999 from non-related party borrowings in the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to proceeds of $0 from related party borrowings and proceeds of $947,750 from non-related party borrowings in the year ended December 31, 2020. We made repayments of $141,9289 on related party borrowings and repayments of $427,500 on non-related party borrowings in the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to repayments of $40,000 on non-related party borrowings and repayments of $0 on related party borrowings in the year ended December 31, 2020. We had proceeds of $100,000 from sales of stock in 2021, which was $46,500 in 2020.

 

We had cash of $1,209,737 and a working capital deficit of $3,886,910 as of December 31, 2021. On the short-term basis, we will be required to raise a significant amount of additional funds over the next 12 months to sustain operations and pay outstanding liabilities. On the long-term basis, we will potentially need to raise capital to grow and develop our business.

 

Since December 31, 2019, we have (a) sold 330,250 shares of our common stock in consideration for $146,500 in cash through our Regulation A offering, which related to the sale of up to 10,800,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share, which has since been terminated; and (b) issued 36,236,429 shares of our common stock in exchange for the conversion of $2,832,852 in debt.

 

On September 27, 2021, October 29, 2021, November 2, 2021, and November 12, 2021, Jacob Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer, advanced the Company, $50,000, $15,000, $10,000, and $40,000, respectively, which loans are payable upon demand and not bearing interest. This amount was repaid in November 2021.

 

It is likely that we will require significant additional financing within the next 12 months and if we are unable to raise the needed funds on an acceptable basis, we may be forced to cease or curtail operations.

 

Additional information regarding the Company’s (a) accrued compensation for related parties can be found in “Note 10 – Accrued Compensation for Related Parties”; (b) notes payable can be found in “Note 10 – Notes Payable”; (c) related party loans can be found in “Note 11 – Loans from Related Parties”; derivative liabilities can be found in “Note 12 – Derivative Liabilities”; billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings can be found in “Note 13 – Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contract”, in the notes to unconsolidated financial statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data” of this Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. See “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the audited financial statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data”, of this Report.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue from monthly membership subscriptions. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery and includes a delivery fee for each delivery or a subscription fee on a monthly basis for memberships. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The Company’s contracts with its customers do not include multiple performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

 

The Company’s subsidiaries, EPIQ MD, Inc. and ZipDoctor, Inc. both provide its customers with access to its telemedicine platform where customers have unlimited access to start a doctor visit 24/7. The customers pay a flat fee per month for use of the platform and is not dependent on the frequency of the doctor visits. Each doctor visit is included in the monthly subscription fee.

 

EPIQ MD: The base monthly subscription fees range from $24.95-$49.95 per month and is dependent on the number of family members included in the plan. Customers can choose to add additional services, such as Epiq Paws and Epiq Lux, ranging from an additional $4.95-$9.95 per month.

 

The customer gains immediate access to the telemedicine platform upon completing the enrollment process and making the first month’s payment, at which point the Company recognizes the revenue from that customer. Billing commences on the day that the customer is enrolled for the Company’s services and is continued to be billed on the calendar day of each calendar month, in accordance with the original date of enrollment.

 

Customer’s may cancel their subscription at any time provided that they provide the Company with thirty (30) days advanced written notice of cancellation with no cancellation fees charged to the customer.

LEGEND NUTRITION – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

The Company recognizes revenue in according with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606. The underlying principle is that the Company recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that they expect to be entitled to in the exchange for goods and services provided.

 

The Company’s discontinued subsidiary, Legend Nutrition, Inc., operated a retail store in which it sold nutritional and wellness related products. Legend’s business was solely based on the sale of retail products and did not offer any non-tangible services.

 

Revenue for the entire product sold was recognized when the customer purchased and had control of the product, even if the terms included a right of return. Legend accounted for any discounts and concessions at the time of sale and accounted for returns and refunds when Legend received the product back in its possession where in some instances, if the product was unused, would be returned to Legend’s inventory or, if used, would be discarded.

 

Costs of revenue included the amounts that Legend paid its wholesalers and distributors and recognized the cost of revenue when the products were sold and transferred to the possession of the customer. The cost of revenue was deducted from Legends open inventory balance upon sale.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company measures its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities, as well as makes related disclosures, in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which provides guidance with respect to valuation techniques to be utilized in the determination of fair value of assets and liabilities. Approaches include, (i) the market approach (comparable market prices), (ii) the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and (iii) the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, other receivable, inventories, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible note payable, and derivative liabilities.

 

The carrying values of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, other receivable, inventories, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

The Company’s convertible notes payable are measured at amortized cost.

 

The derivative liabilities are stated at their fair value as a level 3 measurement. The Company used the Lattice Model to determine the fair values of these derivative liabilities. See “Note 12 – Derivative Liabilities” of the financial statements included herein, for the Company’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of these financial instruments.

 

51

 

Convertible note payable

 

The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the Under Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging, since the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s stock and can’t be classified in equity. The Company allocates the proceeds received from convertible notes payable between the liability component and conversion feature component. The conversion feature that is considered embedded derivative liabilities has been 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 has also recorded the resulting discount on debt related to the conversion feature and is amortizing the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt instruments.

 

Derivative liabilities

 

The Company accounts for derivative liabilities in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires companies to recognize all derivative liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value, and marks it to market at each reporting date with the resulting gains or losses shown in the Statement of Operations.

 

Stock based compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

On July 27, 2018, the inception date, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of American International Holdings Corp.,

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American International Holdings Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses from continuing and discontinued operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 15. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

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

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

As discussed in Note 12, the Company borrows funds through the use of convertible notes payable that contain a conversion price that may be fixed or fluctuates with the stock price.

 

Auditing management’s estimates of the fair value of the derivative liability involves significant judgements and estimates given the embedded conversion features of the notes.

 

To evaluate the appropriateness of the fluctuation of the conversion price, the embedded conversion feature requires bifurcation from the host contract and is recorded as a liability subject to market adjustments as of each reporting period. Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determining derivative liability values for these convertible note agreements, including the use of a specialist engaged by management.

 

We evaluated management’s conclusions regarding their derivative liability and reviewed support for the significant inputs used in the valuation model, as well as assessing the model for reasonableness.

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS CORP.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Year Ended December 31, 2021

(Audited)

 

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization, Ownership and Business

 

Prior to May 31, 2018, the Company was a 93.2% owned subsidiary of American International Industries, Inc. (“American” or “AMIN”) (OTCQB: AMIN). Effective May 31, 2018, the Company issued 10,100,000 shares of restricted common stock. As a result of the issuance of the common shares, a change in control occurred. American International Industries, Inc. ownership decreased from 93.2% to 6.4%. No one individual or entity owns at least 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Effective April 12, 2019, the Company changed its business focus to the services of medical spas.

 

On April 12, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Novopelle Diamond, LLC (“Novopelle”) and all three members of Novopelle, pursuant to which the Company issued 18,000,000 shares of the Company common stock to the members (three individuals) of Novopelle Diamond, LLC (“Novopelle”), a Texas limited company, to acquire 100% of the membership interests of Novopelle. The issuance of these shares represents a change in control of the Company. Concurrent with the issuance, Jacob Cohen, Esteban Alexander and Alan Hernandez, representing the three former members of Novopelle, were elected to the board of directors and to the office of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Marketing officer of the Company, respectively. Everett Bassie and Charles Zeller resigned as board members of the Company. This transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, with the Company remaining the parent company and Novopelle (which has since been renamed VISSIA McKinney, LLC) becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On April 28, 2020, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, ZipDoctor, Inc. (“ZipDoctor”) in the State of Texas. ZipDoctor plans to provide its customers with unlimited, 24/7 access to board certified physicians and licensed mental and behavioral health counselors and therapists via a newly developed, monthly subscription based online telemedicine platform. ZipDoctor was launched in August 2020 and has generated nominal revenues through the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

On May 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Global Career Networks Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “GCN”), the sole owner of Life Guru, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Life Guru”). Pursuant to the SPA, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Life Guru from GCN. As consideration for the purchase of the 51% ownership interest in Life Guru, the Company issued to GCN 500,000 shares of its newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which had an agreed upon value of $500,000 ($1.00 per share), and agreed to issue GCN up to an additional 1,500,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (with an agreed upon value of $1,500,000) upon reaching certain milestones.

 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Consolidated Financial Statements. The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, and the related responses by public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat its outbreak and spread has severely impacted the U.S. and world economies, the market for health spa services, nutrition supplements and our other business offerings during the end of the first quarter of 2020, and continuing through the end of 2020 and into 2021. Government mandated ‘stay-at-home’ and similar orders have to date, and may in the future, prevent us from staffing our spas and construction services, and prohibited us from operating. In late 2020, we made the decision to discontinue operations of our VISSIA Waterway, Inc. and VISSIA McKinney MedSpa locations due to declines in customers and issues staffing such facilities, each as a result of the pandemic. Additionally, our Legend Nutrition store saw a deep decline in sales due to social distancing orders and decreases in customers who were willing to venture out to brick-and-mortar establishments during 2020. Legend Nutrition’s lease was up January 31, 2021, and the Company chose to not renew the lease, closed the store, and will not continue in this line of business moving forward. We also decided to cease offering construction services around July 2021.

 

58

 

As of the date of this Report, our operations are limited, and consist mainly of ZipDoctor, Inc., Life Guru, Inc., EPIQ Scripts, LLC, EPIQ MD, Inc. and Mangoceuticals, Inc.

 

Moving forward, economic recessions, including those brought on by the continued COVID-19 outbreak may have a negative effect on the demand for our services and our operating results. Any prolonged disruption to our operations or work force availability is likely to have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and ability to meet continuing debt service requirements. All of the above may be exacerbated in the future as the COVID-19 outbreak and the governmental responses thereto continues.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMIH and its subsidiaries: VISSIA McKinney, LLC (f/k/a Novopelle Diamond, LLC), VISSIA Waterway, Inc. (f/k/a Novopelle Waterway, Inc.), Legend Nutrition, Inc., Capitol City Solutions USA, Inc. ZipDoctor, Inc., LifeGuru, Inc., Mangoceuticals, Inc., and EPIQ MD, Inc.

 

VISSIA Waterway, Inc., VISSIA McKinney LLC, Capitol City Solutions USA, Inc. and Legend Nutrition, Inc. (collectively referred to as “Discontinued Subsidiaries”) have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. All reclassifications have been applied consistently to the periods presented.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

The Company maintains the majority of its cash accounts at a commercial bank. The total cash balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per commercial bank. From time to time, cash in deposit accounts may exceed the FDIC limits, the excess would be at risk of loss for purposes of the statement of cash flows.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods purchased, which are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method. The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The Company had $3,840 and $0 inventory from continuing operations as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. No allowance was necessary as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earning per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company issued dilutive securities in the form of convertible notes and warrants during the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

59

 

Property, Plant, Equipment, Depreciation, Amortization and Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets include:

 

Property, Plant and Equipment – Assets acquired in the normal course of business are recorded at original cost and may be adjusted for any additional significant improvements after purchase. We depreciate the cost evenly over the assets’ estimated useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

   Depreciable life  Residual value 
Machinery and Equipment  5 years   0%
Furniture and fixture  7 years   0%
Computer and software  3 years   0%

 

Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, with any resultant gain or loss being recognized as a component of other income or expense.

Identifiable intangible assets – These assets are recorded at acquisition cost. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized evenly over their estimated useful lives.

 

At least annually, we review all long-lived assets for impairment. When necessary, we record changes for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the present value of future cash flows, or some other fair value measure, is less than the carrying value of these assets.

 

If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we measure the possible goodwill impairment based upon an allocation of the estimate of fair value of the reporting unit to all of the underlying assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any previously unrecognized intangible assets (Step Two Analysis). The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities (“carrying amount”) is the implied fair value of goodwill.

 

Goodwill and indefinite-lived brands are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. Our impairment testing of goodwill is performed separately from our impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangibles. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. The Company believe such assumptions are also comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company measures its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities, as well as makes related disclosures, in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which provides guidance with respect to valuation techniques to be utilized in the determination of fair value of assets and liabilities. Approaches include, (i) the market approach (comparable market prices), (ii) the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and (iii) the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

60

 

Our financial instruments include cash, inventories, prepayment and deposits, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued interest payable, accrued compensation, convertible note payable, loans payable, derivative liabilities and billing in excess of costs and estimated earnings.

 

The carrying values of the Company’s cash, inventories, prepayment and deposits, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued interest payable, accrued compensation, convertible note payable, short-term loans payable, derivative liabilities and billing in excess of costs and estimated earnings approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

The Company’s convertible note payable are measured at amortized cost.

 

The derivative liabilities are stated at their fair value as a level 3 measurement. The Company used the Lattice Model to determine the fair values of these derivative liabilities. See Note 12 for the Company’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of these financial instruments.

 

Convertible notes payable

 

The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging, since the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s stock and can’t be classified in equity. The Company allocates the proceeds received from convertible notes payable between the liability component and conversion feature component. The conversion feature that is considered embedded derivative liabilities has been 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 has also recorded the resulting discount on debt related to the conversion feature and is amortizing the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt instruments.

 

Derivative liabilities

 

The Company accounts for derivative liabilities in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires companies to recognize all derivative liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value, and marks it to market at each reporting date with the resulting gains or losses shown in the Statement of Operations.

 

Management’s Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Concentration and Risks

 

The Company’s operations are subject to risks including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potential risk of business failure.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had no significant revenue from continuing or discounted operations which were derived from a single or a few major customers.

 

61

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue from monthly membership subscriptions. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery and includes a delivery fee for each delivery or a subscription fee on a monthly basis for memberships. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The Company’s contracts with its customers do not include multiple performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

 

The Company’s subsidiaries, EPIQ MD, Inc. and ZipDoctor, Inc. both provide its customers with access to its telemedicine platform where customers have unlimited access to start a doctor visit 24/7. The customers pay a flat fee per month for use of the platform and is not dependent on the frequency of the doctor visits. Each doctor visit is included in the monthly subscription fee.

 

EPIQ MD: The base monthly subscription fees range from $24.95-$49.95 per month and is dependent on the number of family members included in the plan. Customers can choose to add additional services, such as Epiq Paws and Epiq Lux, ranging from an additional $4.95-$9.95 per month.

 

The customer gains immediate access to the telemedicine platform upon completing the enrollment process and making the first month’s payment, at which point the Company recognizes the revenue from that customer. Billing commences on the day that the customer is enrolled for the Company’s services and is continued to be billed on the calendar day of each calendar month, in accordance with the original date of enrollment.

 

Customer’s may cancel their subscription at any time provided that they provide the Company with thirty (30) days advanced written notice of cancellation with no cancellation fees charged to the customer. In the event a subscriber provides a notice of cancellation within the membership period, the customer will be billed on their regular billing date at an amount adjusted to reflect an amount due until the cancellation date.

 

For avoidance of doubt, if a subscriber is billed $29.95 on the 1st of the month and cancels on the 15th, the subscriber will be billed on the 1st of the following month at a prorated rate through the 15th, or at a rate of $14.97.

 

ZipDoctor, Inc: The base monthly subscription fees range from $25.00-$45.00 per month and is dependent on the number of family members included in the plan. The customer gains immediate access to the telemedicine platform upon completing the enrollment process and making the first month’s payment, at which point the Company recognizes the revenue from that customer. Billing commences on the day that the customer is enrolled for the Company’s services and is continued to be billed on the calendar day of each calendar month, in accordance with the original date of enrollment.

 

Customer’s may cancel their subscription at any time provided that they provide the Company with thirty (30) days advanced written notice of cancellation with no cancellation fees charged to the customer. In the event a subscriber provides a notice of cancellation within the membership period, the customer will be billed on their regular billing date at an amount adjusted to reflect an amount due until the cancellation date.

 

For avoidance of doubt, if a subscriber is billed $25.00 on the 1st of the month and cancels on the 15th, the subscriber will be billed on the 1st of the following month at a prorated rate through the 15th, or at a rate of $12.50.

 

LEGEND NUTRITION – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

The Company recognizes revenue in according with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606. The underlying principle is that the Company recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that they expect to be entitled to in the exchange for goods and services provided.

 

The Company’s discontinued subsidiary, Legend Nutrition, Inc., operated a retail store in which it sold nutritional and wellness related products. Legend’s business was solely based on the sale of retail products and did not offer any non-tangible services.

 

62

 

Revenue for the entire product sold was recognized when the customer purchased and had control of the product, even if the terms included a right of return. Legend accounted for any discounts and concessions at the time of sale and accounted for returns and refunds when Legend received the product back in its possession where in some instances, if the product was unused, would be returned to Legend’s inventory or, if used, would be discarded.

 

Costs of revenue included the amounts that Legend paid its wholesalers and distributors and recognized the cost of revenue when the products were sold and transferred to the possession of the customer. The cost of revenue was deducted from Legends open inventory balance upon sale.

 

Stock based compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

On July 27, 2018, the inception date, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is a taxable entity and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement. A material related party transaction has been identified in Note 11 in the financial statements.

 

63

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the effect of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)”. This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective on January 1, 2021, and it did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40)(“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its financial statements.

 

Note 2 – Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment from continuing operations were as follows at December 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

    December 31,    December 31, 
    2021    2020 
Leasehold improvements   -    - 
Furniture & fixtures   -    - 
Gross property and equipment   -    - 
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization   -    - 
Net property and equipment  $-   $- 

 

Property and equipment from discontinued operations were as follows at December 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

   December 31,   December 31, 
   2021   2020 
Leasehold improvements  $4,262   $4,262 
Furniture & fixtures   18,830    29,902 
Equipment   -    - 
Gross property and equipment   23,092    118,083 
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization   8,823    10,422 
Net property and equipment  $14,199   $107,661 

 

As a result of discontinued operations, the leasing equipment of $67,336 was returned in the first quarter of 2021 and the related liabilities were released.

 

64

 

Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0and $0, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $8,823 and $10,422, respectively.

 

Note 3 – Asset Purchase Agreement

 

On October 18, 2019, Legend Nutrition, Inc. (“Legend”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with David Morales (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) to acquire all of the assets associated with and related to a retail vitamin, supplements and nutrition store located in Mckinney, TX previously doing business as “Ideal Nutrition”. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Legend purchased a variety of assets including software, contracts, bank and merchant accounts, products, inventory, computers, security systems and other intellectual properties (the “Assets”). For consideration of the Assets, Legend issued to Mr. Morales a promissory note in the amount of Seventy-Five Thousand US Dollars ($75,000) bearing an interest rate of five percent (5%) per annum and with a maturity date of one year (the “Promissory Note”). As of December 31, 2020, the promissory note is fully converted. During 2021, the Company discontinued operation of Legend. The assets acquired pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, such as property and equipment of $16,303 and goodwill of $29,689, have been fully impaired.

 

Note 4 – Goodwill

 

As of December 31, 2021, the goodwill in connection with the acquisition of the assets in October 2019 associated with and related to a retail vitamin, supplements and nutrition store located in McKinney, Texas was $0.

 

Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. The Company believes such assumptions are also comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. The Company determined impairment adjustment was necessary for the year ended December 31, 2020, since the goodwill was not substantiating a future cash flow. Hence, goodwill of $29,689 was impaired in full during the fourth quarter of 2020.

 

Note 5 – Licensing Agreement

 

On June 27th, 2019, the Company executed an exclusive license agreement with Novo MedSpa Addison Corp (“Novo Medspa”) providing the Company with the exclusive rights to the Novopelle brand and to establish new Novopelle branded MedSpa locations on a worldwide basis (the “Exclusive License”). In consideration for the Exclusive License, the Company paid Novo MedSpa a one-time cash payment of $40,000 and issued to Novo MedSpa 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were valued at $0.10 per share or $25,000.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company opened a new MedSpa location and paid Novo MedSpa a one-time cash payment of $30,000 as a new location fee pursuant to the exclusive license agreement.

 

On May 13, 2020, the Company provided Novo Medspa with notice to terminate the June 27, 2019 License Agreement in pursuit of the Company’s desire to establish and develop its own brand and have the flexibility to offer additional products and services that are not currently available at Novopelle branded locations, which was effective immediately. Accordingly, the license of $95,000 was impaired in full during the second quarter of 2020.

 

Note 6 – Other assets

 

On May 15, 2020, the Company executed a securities purchase agreement with Global Career Networks Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), the sole owner of Life Guru, pursuant to which the Company purchased from the Seller, a 51% interest in the capital stock of Life Guru, representing an aggregate of 2,040 shares of Life Guru’s common stock. LifeGuru owns and operates the LifeGuru.me website which is currently in development and is anticipated to be fully launched in the second quarter of 2022. In consideration for the purchase, the Company agreed to issue the Seller 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock at closing, which occurred on May 15, 2020. An additional up to 1,500,000 Series B Preferred Stock shares will be issuable to the Seller upon the following milestones, provided that such milestones are met prior to the earlier of (i) one (1) year after closing; and (ii) thirty (30) days after the Company has provided the Seller written notice of a breach by the Seller of any provision of the SPA, which breach has not been reasonably cured within such thirty (30) day period (such earlier date of (i) and (ii), the “Milestone Termination Date”):

 

(a) 500,000 Series B Preferred Stock shares upon completion of the fully operational LifeGuru.me website;

 

65

 

(b) 500,000 Series B Preferred Stock shares upon such time as 300 coaches have signed up at LifeGuru.me; and

 

(c) 500,000 Series B Preferred Stock shares upon such time as 1,000 coaches have signed up at LifeGuru.me.

 

The fair value of 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock issued at closing, valued on such grant date was $605,488, which equaled the market price per common share on the grant multiplied by the equivalent number of common shares which would be issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

The Company did not recognize any liabilities related to the milestone shares due to the uncertainty surrounding such milestones.

 

The 51% owned subsidiary is a consolidated entity which requires the presentation of noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. As there was no activity for the entity as of December 31, 2021, no assets, liabilities or noncontrolling interest were presented at the period ended December 31, 2020. Since the asset is not substantiating a future cash flow, the Company determined an impairment adjustment was necessary for the periods presented. Investment in LifeGuru of $605,488 was impaired in full during the fourth quarter of 2020.

 

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued 500,000 Series B Preferred Stock shares for reaching the first milestone (milestone (a)). The fair value of 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock issued at closing, valued on such grant date was $601,852, which equaled the market price per common share on the grant multiplied by the equivalent number of common shares which would be issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock. This amount was expensed as in process research and development.

 

The Company did not recognize any liabilities related to the milestone shares due to the uncertainty surrounding such milestones.

 

Since more than one year has elapsed since closing, the right of the Seller to earn the milestone shares set forth in (b) and (c) above has expired.

Note 12– Derivative Liabilities

 

Notes that are convertible at a discount to market are considered embedded derivatives.

 

Under Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”), U.S. GAAP, Accounting Standards Codification, “Derivatives and Hedging”, ASC Topic 815 (“ASC 815”) requires that all derivative financial instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Fair values for exchange traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market-based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.

 

The Company’s convertible note has been evaluated with respect to the terms and conditions of the conversion features contained in the note to determine whether they represent embedded or freestanding derivative instruments under the provisions of ASC 815. The Company determined that the conversion features contained in the notes totaled $1,575,083 and represent a freestanding derivative instrument that meets the requirements for liability classification under ASC 815. As a result, the fair value of the derivative financial instrument in the note is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as a liability. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument of the convertible note was measured using the Lattice Model at the inception date of the note and will do so again on each subsequent balance sheet date. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. The derivative liabilities will be reclassified into additional paid in capital upon conversion.

 

The Convertible Note derivatives were valued as of December 31, 2020, at issuance, at conversion and at December 31, 2021 as set forth in the table below.

 

      
Derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2020  $517,366 
Initial derivative liabilities at new note issuance   7,209,723 
Initial loss   (0)
Conversion   (1,116,124)
Mark to market changes   (2,469,693)
      
Derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2021  $4,141,272 

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had derivative liabilities of $4,141,272, and recorded changes in derivative liabilities in the amount of $1,171,028 during the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

70

 

The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the derivative liability related to the Notes:

 

  - The stock price would fluctuate with the Company’s projected volatility;
  - The projected volatility curve from an annualized analysis for each valuation period was based on the historical volatility of the Company and the term remaining for each note ranged from 116% through 206% at issuance, conversion, and quarters ends;
  - The Company would not redeem the notes;
  - An event of default adjusting the interest rate would occur initially 0% of the time for all notes with increases 1% per month to a maximum of 10% with the corresponding penalty;
  - The Company would raise capital quarterly at market, which could trigger a reset event; and
  - The Holder would convert the note monthly if the Company was not in default.

 

The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the warrant derivative liability related to the Notes:

 

  - The stock price would fluctuate with the Company’s projected volatility;
  - The projected volatility curve from an annualized analysis for each valuation period was based on the historical volatility of the Company and the term remaining for each note ranged from 166% through 166.9% at issuance, conversion, and quarters ends.
  - The Warrants with the fixed $0.20, $0.35, and $0.50 exercise prices are subject to full ratchet reset provisions;
  - The Company would raise capital quarterly at market, which could trigger a reset event;
  - The cash flows are discounted to net present values using risk free rates; discount rates were based on risk free rates in effect based on the remaining term.
  - The occurrence of a fundamental transaction by a public company was estimated at 2.5% after 2.5 years and 5% prior to maturity; and
  - The Holder would hold the warrant to maturity (5-year terms) at which point it could exercise the warrant if the warrant were in the money.

 

Note 13 – Income Taxes

 

The Company has current net operating loss carryforwards in excess of $20,540,569 as of December 31, 2021, to offset future taxable income, which expire beginning 2029.

 

Deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates, which will be in effect when these differences reverse. The components of deferred income tax assets are as follows:

 

December 31, 2021    
Deferred Tax Asset:     
Net Operating Loss  $9,980,911 
Valuation Allowance   (9,980,911)
Net Deferred Asset  $ 

 

At December 31, 2021, the Company provided a 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset because it could not be determined whether it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset/(liability) would be realized.

 

Note 14 – Capital Stock

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, of which three shares were designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 2,000,000 were designated as Series B Preferred stock, the balance of 2,999,997 shares of preferred stock were undesignated as of December 31, 2021.

 

71

 

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock have no dividend rights, liquidation preference and conversion rights. As long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have the right to vote on all shareholder matters equal to sixty percent (60%) of the total vote. At the option of the Company, Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at $1.00 per share.

 

The holders of Series B Preferred Stock have the same dividend rights as common stockholders on a fully converted basis, are entitled to receive pari passu with any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Company’s common stock, but not prior to any holders of senior securities. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted, at the option of the holder thereof, into that number of shares of common stock of the Company as equals $1.00 divided by 90% of the average of the volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock, for the five trading days immediately preceding the date the notice of conversion is received, subject to the limit of 4.999% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights.

 

On May 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with GCN as described in greater detail in “Note 1 Summary of Significant Account Policies – Organization, Ownership and Business”. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Life Guru from GCN in consideration for 500,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which had an agreed upon value of $500,000 ($1.00 per share), and agreed to issue GCN up to an additional 1,500,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (with an agreed upon value of $1,500,000) upon reaching certain milestones. The fair value of the first 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock at grant date was $605,488, a result of market price per common share at the grant date times the equivalent number of common shares after the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock. Such 500,000 initial shares of Series B Preferred Stock were subsequently converted to common stock in June 2020, as discussed below.

 

On May 20, 2020, the Company issued one share of its newly designated shares of Series A Preferred Stock to each of the three members of its then Board of Directors, (1) Jacob D. Cohen, (2) Esteban Alexander and (3) Luis Alan Hernandez, in consideration for services rendered to the Company as members of the Board of Directors. Such shares of Series A Preferred Stock vote in aggregate sixty percent (60%) of the total vote on all shareholder matters, voting separately as a class. Notwithstanding such voting rights, no change in control of the Company was deemed to have occurred in connection with the issuance since Messrs. Cohen, Alexander and Hernandez, own in aggregate 68% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and therefore controlled the Company prior to such issuance. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Mr. Alexander and Mr. Hernandez were cancelled on November 6, 2020 pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreements dated October 2, 2020, and as such, a change of control occurred on such date, with Mr. Cohen taking over voting control of the Company, and serving between December 15, 2020 and October 19, 2021, as the sole officer and director of the Company.

 

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued 500,000 Series B Preferred Stock shares for reaching the first milestone (milestone (a)). The fair value of 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock issued at closing, valued on such grant date was $601,852, which equaled the market price per common share on the grant multiplied by the equivalent number of common shares which would be issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock. This amount was expensed as in process research and development. The shareholder then elected to convert the Series B Preferred Stock to 2,057,613 shares of common stock.

 

As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was one share of Series A Preferred Stock and no shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue up to 195,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of which 84,445,067 shares were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2021 and 55,066,855 were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2020.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued 500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Shares to a third party for services related to research and development.

Note 15 – Going Concern

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net loss from continuing operation of $10,225,497 and $6,460,653 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively, a gain of $244,586 and a net loss from discontinued operation of $879,237 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $20,540,569 as of December 31, 2021. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. These financials do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that the Company will become commercially viable without additional financing, the availability and terms of which are uncertain. If the Company cannot secure necessary capital when needed on commercially reasonable terms, its business, condition (financial and otherwise) and commercial viability may be harmed. Although management believes that it will be able to successfully execute its business plan, which includes third party financing and the raising of capital to meet the Company’s future liquidity needs, there can be no assurances in this regard. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become a party to lawsuits involving various matters. The impact and outcome of litigation, if any, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm its business. The Company believes the ultimate resolution of any such current proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on our continued financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 14, 2019, Robert Holden, the Company’s former CEO, filed a Petition and Application for Temporary Restraining Order in the District Court, 152nd Judicial District of Harris County, Texas, against the Company stating that the Company is blocking Mr. Holden’s legal right to trade his shares in the open market and further attempting to stake his claim that he maintains his rights to the 3,800,000 shares he received in connection with his acceptance as CEO of the Company on or around May 31, 2018. The Company is maintaining the position that Mr. Holden does not have the right to those shares as he was in breach of his obligation to convey a digital marketing business to the Company and subsequently resigned from the Company shortly thereafter, on or around August 15, 2018 and that he procured the shares through fraud. On November 11, 2019, the Company issued a response with a Motion to Dismiss Under the Texas Citizen’s Participation Act (TCPA) citing that any declaratory judgment and breach of contract claims be dismissed unless Mr. Holden can, through “clear and specific evidence”, establish a prima facie case for each essential element of his claims. After an attempt to remand the case to federal court, the Company filed an amended notice of submission for its TCPA motion for submission on May 18, 2020, whereby Holden failed to respond to the motion in a timely manner. On May 18, 2020, the Company filed a response in support of its motion to dismiss under the TCPA, which was denied on June 3, 2020. Immediately thereafter, on June 4, 2020, the Company filed a notice of accelerated interlocutory appeal to appeal the denial of the motion to dismiss under the TCPA and the trial court’s failure to rule on the Company’s objection to the timeliness of Holden’s response. The outcome of this action, and the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit is currently unknown at this time, provided that the Company intends to vehemently defend itself against the claims made in the lawsuit.

 

AMIH vs. Winfred Fields

 

On November 11, 2019, the Company filed an Original Petition and Jury Demand in the 458th Judicial District Court of Fort Bend County, Texas against Winfred Fields, a shareholder, in the 458th Judicial District Court of Fort Bend County seeking damages related to breach of contract and fraud related charges. The Company executed an exchange agreement with Mr. Fields on or around April 12, 2019 whereby Mr. Fields was required to tender to the Company a total of 650,000 of the 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that Mr. Fields then owned (the “Exchanged Shares”) in exchange for a promissory note with a maturity date of April 12, 2021 payable in the amount of $42,500 (the “Fields Note”) (see also “Note 11 – Loans from Related Parties”). The Exchange Agreement required that Mr. Fields immediately return the stock certificates for the Exchanged Shares to the Company or its designated agent for immediate cancellation and for Mr. Fields to retain the remaining 100,000 shares. Mr. Fields agreed in the Exchange Agreement that these shares would not become unrestricted until such time as Mr. Fields received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that the shares were not restricted for trade under SEC regulations. After executing the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Fields—rather than return the Exchanged Shares or obtain said opinion of counsel—attempted to deposit and trade the Exchanged Shares and the restricted shares, which was a direct violation of the Exchange Agreement. The Company asserts that Mr. Fields knowingly, willingly and fraudulently attempted to deposit and trade the Exchanged Shares and is seeking damages and equitable relief. Upon several attempts to serve Mr. Fields, service was perfected on or around February 3, 2020. On March 2, 2020, Mr. Fields filed a response generally denying all claims. On May 22, 2020, the Company filed its first request for production and request for disclosure and discovery insisting that Mr. Fields produce all documentation related to the fraudulent transaction and is awaiting a response to these requested discovery items. The outcome of this action is currently unknown at this time. In November 2019, the Company recovered 650,000 shares from Mr. Fields which were cancelled in 2019.

 

Asher Park, LLC vs. Novopelle Tyler

 

On August 11, 2021, Asher Park, LLC (“Asher Park”) filed a petition against the Company and its subsidiary, Novopelle Tyler, Inc. (“Novopelle Tyler”) in the 241st Judicial District Court of Smith County, Texas seeking to recover damages in the amount of $66,651 against that commercial lease and commercial lease guaranty agreement that was signed between the parties on or around January 8, 2020 to occupy retail premises located at 1058 Asher Way, Suite 100, in Tyler, Texas. As this commercial lease was executed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and due to the uncertainty of the effects on retail establishments during the pandemic, Novopelle Tyler never officially took possession of the retail premise. On September 23, 2021, the Company and Novopelle Tyler filed an Original Answer and Affirmative Defense denying the allegations made by Asher Park.

 

On January 26, 2022, Novopelle Tyler and the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement & Mutual Release with Asher Park whereby Novopelle Tyler and the Company agreed to pay Asher Park a total of $35,000 in full and final settlement of all of the Asher Park’s claims. Accordingly, Asher Park, in consideration for the execution of the Settlement Agreement agreed to dismiss the lawsuit against both Novopelle Tyler and the Company.

On September 10, 2021, Stanley Tate d/b/a Triangle Cabinets (“Tate”), a materials supplier and subcontractor that was hired by the Company’s subsidiary, Capitol City Solutions USA, Inc.

The Company and CCS were not officially served until on or around October 21, 2021. On October 25, 2021, the Company and CCS filed an Original Answer denying the allegations made by Tate as Tate had failed to provide the services in which they were hired to perform and demanding strict proof by a preponderance of credible evidence.

 

On December 29, 2021, Tate dismissed all claims against both the Company and CCS.

 

Capitol City Solutions USA, Inc. vs. Peak Living, LLC and PC Gateway, LLC

 

On November 1, 2021, the Company’s subsidiary, Capitol City Solutions USA, Inc. (CCS), filed a petition against PC Gateway and Peak Living, LLC (“Peak Living”) in the 58th Judicial District Court of Jefferson County Texas demanding the payment of the final invoice as delivered to Peak Living in the amount of $2,069,908 representing the balance as owed to CCS for substantial supplemental charges (including but not limited to dehumidifiers, various material cost and labor increases, code compliance costs, and additional profit and overhead). Throughout the term of a project completed by CCS for Peak Living, Peak Living instructed CCS to perform additional work beyond the original scope of the contracted agreement and fully understood that CCS expected to be compensated at the fair market value for the additional labor and materials. In addition to seeking actual and statutory damages, CCS is seeking to recover attorney’s fees, prejudgment and post judgement interest, costs of court and has further placed a constitutional lien on the PC Gateway property, known as Gateway Village, located at 2825 12th Street, Beaumont, Texas, 77705 and which is the subject of the lawsuit. CCS is currently reviewing and evaluating all of the discovery items received from Peak in connection with the lawsuit.

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

 

None.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have established and maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer/principal financial/accounting officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer/principal financial/accounting officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report, December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weakness we found in our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 (as described in greater detail below), our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer/principal financial/accounting officer) has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, is recorded properly, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer/principal financial/accounting officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer/principal financial/accounting officer), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the - Commission (2013 Framework) (the “COSO Framework”). Based on this evaluation under the COSO Framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021, due to the deficiencies disclosed below.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit smaller reporting companies to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

76

 

The Company recognizes the following weaknesses and deficiencies of the Company as of December 31, 2021:

 

We recognized the following deficiencies that we believe to be material weaknesses:

 

- The Company has not fully designed, implemented or assessed internal controls over financial reporting. Due to the Company being a developing company, management’s assessment and conclusion over internal controls were ineffective this year.
   
- We recognized the following deficiencies that we believe to be significant deficiencies:
   
- The Company has no formal control process related to the identification and approval of related party transactions.
   
- We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
   
- We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We believe we have taken significant steps during and since the year ended December 31, 2021 to correct certain of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls. These steps include the hiring of a third party CPA firm to assist the Company in resolving the financial statement preparation and disclosure issues, the establishment of an Audit Committee (discussed under “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance” - “Committees of the Board”, below), and the hiring of Dr. Craig Hewitt to serve as our full-time Chief Financial Officer effective the day after the filing of this Report. Other than as discussed above, there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three-months ended December 31, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Nonetheless, until these elements have been fully integrated into our organization and we have established appropriate controls and internal processes in consultation with our third party CPA firm and Audit Committee, there is no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls will in fact be effective.

 

As a result of COVID-19, our workforce has operated primarily in a work from home environment for the year ended December 31, 2021. While pre-existing controls were not specifically designed to operate in our current work from home operating environment, we don’t believe that such work from home actions have had a material adverse effect on our internal controls over financial reporting. We have continued to re-evaluate and refine our financial reporting process to provide reasonable assurance that we could report our financial results accurately and timely.

We believe that Mr. Cohen’s extensive background in investment banking, public company management, and corporate finance, make him a strong addition to, and well qualified to serve on, the board of directors.

Corporate Governance

81

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

Our board of directors has the responsibility for selecting the appropriate leadership structure for the Company. In making leadership structure determinations, the board of directors considers many factors, including the specific needs of the business and what is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Cohen, currently serves as Chairman of the board of directors. The board of directors believes that this leadership structure is the most effective and efficient for the Company at this time. Mr. Cohen possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities, and challenges facing the Company. The Board believes that its programs for overseeing risk, as described below, would be effective under a variety of leadership frameworks and therefore do not materially affect its choice of structure.

 

Risk Oversight

 

Effective risk oversight is an important priority of the board of directors. Because risks are considered in virtually every business decision, the board of directors discusses risk throughout the year generally or in connection with specific proposed actions. The board of directors’ approach to risk oversight includes understanding the critical risks in the Company’s business and strategy, evaluating the Company’s risk management processes, allocating responsibilities for risk oversight, and fostering an appropriate culture of integrity and compliance with legal responsibilities. The directors exercise direct oversight of strategic risks to the Company.

 

Family Relationships

 

None of our directors are related by blood, marriage, or adoption to any other director, executive officer, or other key employees.

 

Arrangements between Officers and Directors

 

To our knowledge, there is no arrangement or understanding between any of our officers and any other person, including directors, pursuant to which the officer was selected to serve as an officer.

 

Other Directorships

 

No directors of the Company are also directors of issuers with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (or which otherwise are required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act).

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

None of our executive officers or directors has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

 

(1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

 

(2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being a named subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and minor offenses);

 

(3) being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities;

 

(4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law;

 

(5) being the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of (i) any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; (ii) any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or (iii) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or

Audit Committee

 

The Audit Committee, which is comprised exclusively of independent directors, has been established by the Board to oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements.

 

The Board has selected the members of the Audit Committee based on the Board’s determination that the members are financially literate (as required by NASDAQ rules) and qualified to monitor the performance of management and the independent auditors and to monitor our disclosures so that our disclosures fairly present our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Board has also determined that Mr. Jensen, is an “audit committee financial expert” (as defined in the SEC rules) because he has the following attributes: (i) an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and financial statements; (ii) the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; (iii) experience analyzing and evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by our financial statements; (iv) an understanding of internal control over financial reporting; and (v) an understanding of audit committee functions. Mr. Jensen has acquired these attributes as a result of his significant experience serving on the board of directors of various private and public companies and as an investor and founder of a private equity firm.

 

The Audit Committee has the sole authority, at its discretion and at our expense, to retain, compensate, evaluate and terminate our independent auditors and to review, as it deems appropriate, the scope of our annual audits, our accounting policies and reporting practices, our system of internal controls, our compliance with policies regarding business conduct and other matters. In addition, the Audit Committee has the authority, at its discretion and at our expense, to retain special legal, accounting or other advisors to advise the Audit Committee.

 

83

 

Other Committees

 

Our Company currently does not have nominating or compensation committees or committees performing similar functions, nor does our Company have a written nominating or compensation committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our board of directors.

 

Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. Our directors believe that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or stockholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

 

Corporate Governance

 

The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations.

 

Our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants. The Audit Committee reviews the Company’s internal accounting controls, practices and policies.

 

Director Independence

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB Market maintained by OTC Markets. The OTCQB Market does not require us to have independent members of our board of directors. Notwithstanding that, our board of directors has determined that Peter “Casey” Jensen, Lorraine D’Alessio, and Dr. Kenny Myers are “independent” pursuant to the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

As described above, we do not currently have a separately designated nominating or compensation committee.

 

Stockholder Communications with the Board

 

Our stockholders and other interested parties may communicate with members of the Board by submitting such communications in writing to our Corporate Secretary at 7950 Legacy Drive, Suite 400, Plano, Texas 75024, who, upon receipt of any communication other than one that is clearly marked “Confidential,” will note the date the communication was received, open the communication, make a copy of it for our files and promptly forward the communication to the director(s) to whom it is addressed. Upon receipt of any communication that is clearly marked “Confidential,” our Corporate Secretary will not open the communication, but will note the date the communication was received and promptly forward the communication to the director(s) to whom it is addressed. If the correspondence is not addressed to any particular Board member or members, the communication will be forwarded to a Board member to bring to the attention of the Board.

 

Code of Ethics

 

On June 24, 2020, our board of directors adopted a Code of Ethical Business Conduct (“Code of Ethics”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The Code of Ethics will be available for review in print, without charge, to any stockholder who requests a copy by writing to us at 7950 Legacy Drive, Suite 400, Plano, Texas 75024, Attention: Investor Relations. Each of our directors, employees and officers are required to comply with the Code of Ethics.

 

We intend to disclose any amendments to our Code of Ethics and any waivers with respect to our Code of Ethics granted to our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer, or any of our other employees performing similar functions on our website at amihcorp.com within four business days after the amendment or waiver. In such case, the disclosure regarding the amendment or waiver will remain available on our website for at least 12 months after the initial disclosure. There have been no waivers granted with respect to our Code of Ethics to any such officers or employees.

 

84

 

Policy on Equity Ownership

 

The Company does not have a policy on equity ownership at this time. However, as illustrated in “Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”, two out of our four current officers and directors are beneficial owners of stock of the Company.

 

Policy Against Hedging

 

The Company recognizes that hedging against losses in Company shares may disturb the alignment between stockholders and executives that equity awards are intended to build. Accordingly, the Company discourages ‘short sales’ of the Company’s securities by officers, directors and employees.

 

Compensation Recovery and Clawback Policies

 

Other than legal requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), we currently do not have any policies in place in the event of misconduct that results in a financial restatement that would have reduced a previously paid incentive amount, we can recoup those improper payments from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our CEO and CFO may be subject to clawbacks in the event of a restatement. Thus, the Board has not deemed any additional recoupment policies to be necessary. We will continue to monitor regulations and trends in this area.

 

Advisory Board

 

On March 17, 2021, the Company formed an Advisory Board to provide guidance to the Board of Directors, regarding business development, marketing, acquisitions and other growth initiatives, and on such other matters as the board of directors may from time-to-time request input and guidance on. The Advisory Board has no authority to bind the Company or the board of directors on any matters and was formed only to provide the director(s) non-binding guidance and advice as requested by the Directors from time to time.

 

On March 17, 2021, the board of directors appointed Mr. Kevin Harrington to the newly formed Advisory Board. The Advisory Board’s mandate is to provide guidance to the Board of Directors regarding business development, marketing, acquisitions, other strategic initiatives and other matters as may be requested. As of the date of this report, Mr. Harrington is the sole member of the Company’s Advisory Board.

 

Whistleblower Protection Policy

 

The Company adopted a Whistleblower Protection Policy (“Whistleblower Policy”) that applies to all of its directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors and agents of the Company. The Whistleblower Policy has been reviewed and approved by the Board.

 

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of their ownership of, and transactions in, our common stock with the SEC and to furnish us with copies of the reports they file. Based solely upon our review of the Section 16(a) filings that have been made by our directors and executive officers, we believe that for the year ended December 31, 2021, all Section 16(a) filings were timely filed, except that Jacob D. Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman failed to timely report one transaction and as a result one Form 4 filing was not timely made.

Employment Agreement of Jacob D. Cohen, Chief Executive Officer

 

Concurrent with the Share Exchange Agreement entered into on April 12, 2019, Jacob D. Cohen (“Mr. Cohen” or the “Executive”) entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with the Company (the “Executive Employment Agreement”). Effective on January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Cohen, which replaced and superseded the Executive Employment Agreement (the “New Employment Agreement”).

 

The New Employment Agreement, which provides for Mr. Cohen to continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, has a three-year term expiring January 12, 2025, provided that the New Employment Agreement automatically extends for additional one year terms thereafter in the event neither party provides the other at least 60 days prior notice of their intention not to renew the terms of the agreement.

Mr. Cohen may also receive additional bonuses awarded from time to time in the discretion of the Board and/or Compensation Committee (if any) in cash, stock or other equity consideration, and the Board of Directors may also increase Mr. Cohen’s salary from time to time, with or without amending the New Employment Agreement, in its discretion. Mr. Cohen is also paid an automobile allowance of $1,500 per month during the term of the New Employment Agreement and is eligible to participate in our stock option plan and other benefit plans.

 

The agreement prohibits Mr. Cohen from competing against us during the term of the agreement and for a period of twelve months after the termination of the agreement in any state and any other geographic area in which we or our Subsidiaries provide Restricted Services or Restricted Products, directly or indirectly, during the twelve months preceding the date of the termination of the agreement. “Restricted Services” means any online, direct-to-consumer subscription-based telemedicine or life-coaching platform, and any other services that we or our subsidiaries have provided or are researching, developing, performing and/or providing at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination, or which Mr. Cohen has obtained any trade secret or other confidential information about at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination of the agreement. “Restricted Products” means pharmaceutical drugs and other healthcare products and any other product, that we or our subsidiaries have provided or are researching, developing, manufacturing, distributing, purchasing, selling and/or providing at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date the agreement is terminated, or which Mr. Cohen obtained any trade secret or other confidential information in connection with at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination of the agreement.

We may terminate Mr. Cohen’s employment (a) for “cause” (which is defined to include, a material breach of the agreement by Mr. Cohen, any act of misappropriation of funds or embezzlement by Mr. Cohen, Mr. Cohen committing any act of fraud, or Mr. Cohen being indicted of, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere with respect to, theft, fraud, a crime involving moral turpitude, or a felony under federal or applicable state law); (b) in the event Mr. Cohen suffers a physical or mental disability which renders him unable to perform his duties and obligations for either 90 consecutive days or 180 days in any 12-month period; (c) for any reason without “cause”; or (d) upon expiration of the initial term of the agreement (or any renewal) upon notice as provided above. The agreement also automatically terminates upon the death of Mr. Cohen.

 

Mr. Cohen may terminate his employment (a) for “good reason” (i.e., (i) if his position or duties are modified to such an extent that his duties are no longer consistent with the position of CEO of the Company, (ii) there has been a material breach by us of a material term of the agreement or Mr. Cohen reasonably believes that we are violating any law which would have a material adverse effect on our operations and such violation continues uncured thirty days after such breach and after notice thereof has been provided to us by Mr. Cohen, (iii) Mr. Cohen’s compensation is reduced without his consent, or we fail to pay to Mr. Cohen any compensation due to him upon five days written notice from Mr. Cohen informing us of such failure, (iv) if the Company’s headquarters are relocated to a location more than thirty-five (35) miles from the Company’s current headquarters in Plano, Texas, without his consent, or (v) if Mr. Cohen is also then serving as a member of the Board and is not re-nominated by the Board to serve as a member of the Board at any annual meeting of stockholders of the Company; provided, however, prior to any such termination by Mr. Cohen for “good reason”, Mr. Cohen must first advise us in writing (within 15 days of the occurrence of such event) and provide us 15 days to cure (5 days in connection with the reduction of Mr. Cohen’s salary or the failure to pay amounts owed to him)); (b) for any reason without “good reason”; and (c) upon expiration of the initial term of the agreement (or any renewal) upon notice as provided above.

 

In the event that Mr. Cohen’s employment is terminated for any reason (not including, however, a termination by us for “cause” or a termination as a result of Mr. Cohen’s death or disability) during the twelve month period following a Change of Control (a “Change of Control Termination”) or in anticipation of a Change of Control, we are required to pay Mr. Cohen, within 60 days following the later of (i) the date of such Change of Control Termination; and (ii) the date of such Change of Control, a cash severance payment in a lump sum in an amount equal to 3.0 times the sum of his current base salary and the amount of the last bonus payable to Mr. Cohen (the “Change of Control Payment”), which amount is due within 60 days of the later of (i) the date of such Change of Control Termination; and (ii) the date of such Change of Control. If Mr. Cohen’s employment terminates due to a Change of Control Termination within six (6) months prior to a Change of Control, it will be deemed to be “in anticipation of a Change of Control” for all purposes. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control, all of Mr. Cohen’s equity-based compensation immediately vests to Mr. Cohen and any outstanding stock options held by Mr. Cohen can be exercised by Mr. Cohen until the earlier of (A) one (1) year from the date of termination and (B) the latest date upon which such stock options would have expired by their original terms under any circumstances, provided that if Mr. Cohen’s employment ends in anticipation of a Change of Control and such equity-based compensation awards or stock options have previously expired pursuant to their terms, the Company is required to pay Mr. Cohen a lump sum payment, payable on the same date as the Change of Control Payment, equal to the black scholes value of the expired and unexercised equity compensation awards and stock options held by Mr. Cohen on the date of termination, based on the value of such awards had they been exercisable through the end of their stated term and had not previously expired. “Change of Control” for the purposes of the agreement means: (a) any person obtaining beneficial ownership representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented by our then outstanding voting securities without the approval of not fewer than two-thirds of our Board of Directors; (b) a merger or consolidation of us whether or not approved by our Board of Directors, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in our voting securities immediately prior thereto continuing to represent at least 50% of the total voting power outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, (c) our stockholders approving a plan of complete liquidation or an agreement for the sale or disposition by us of all or substantially all of our assets, or (d) as a result of the election of members to our Board of Directors, a majority of the Board of Directors consists of persons who are not members of the Board of Directors on January 12, 2022, except in the event that such slate of directors is proposed by a committee of the Board or the Board; provided that if the definition of “Change of Control” in our Stock Incentive Plans or Equity Compensation Plans is more favorable than the definition above, then such definition shall be controlling.

 

88

 

If Mr. Cohen’s employment is terminated pursuant to his death or disability, (i) all salary, vacation days, and bonuses accrued through the termination date will be paid to Mr. Cohen’s estate or beneficiaries or to Mr. Cohen, as applicable, in cash within 30 days of the termination date; (ii) 100% of Mr. Cohen’s then current annual Base Salary, as in effect on the date the agreement is terminated (the “Termination Date”), will be paid to Mr. Cohen’s estate or beneficiaries or to Mr. Cohen, as applicable, in cash when due under Texas law; (iii) the pro rata amount of any discretionary bonus and performance bonus he would have been due for the year in which the termination date occurred will be paid to Mr. Cohen’s estate or beneficiaries or to Mr. Cohen, as applicable, at the time when annual bonuses are paid to the Company’s other senior executives for that fiscal year; (iv) Mr. Cohen and his eligible family members will continue to be provided with group health insurance coverage at least equal to that which would have been provided to them if Mr. Cohen’s employment had not been terminated (or at the Company’s election, pay the applicable COBRA premium for such coverage), subject to certain rights which reduce such obligation if Mr. Cohen is covered by health insurance with a substantially similar level of insurance as prior to the termination; and (v) any vested benefits which Mr. Cohen is required or eligible to receive as of the termination date under any plan, contract or agreement of the Company and its affiliates will be paid or provided to Mr. Cohen’s estate or beneficiaries or to Mr. Cohen, as applicable, on a timely basis.

 

If Mr. Cohen’s employment is terminated pursuant to the end of the initial term (or any renewal term), without “good reason” by Mr. Cohen, or by us for “cause”, Mr. Cohen is entitled to all salary accrued through the termination date and no other benefits other than as required under the terms of employee benefit plans in which Mr. Cohen was participating as of the termination date. Additionally, any unvested stock options or equity compensation held by Mr. Cohen immediately terminate and are forfeited (unless otherwise provided in the applicable award) and any previously vested stock options (or if applicable equity compensation) are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Stock Incentive Plan or Equity Compensation Plan, or award agreement, as such may describe the rights and obligations upon termination of employment of Mr. Cohen.

 

If Mr. Cohen’s employment is terminated by Mr. Cohen for “good reason”, or by us without “cause”, (i) Mr. Cohen will be paid, in two lump sum payments, (a) all salary, vacation days, and bonuses accrued through the termination date, payable when due under Texas law, and (b) an amount, payable within 60 days after the termination date, equal to 3.0 times (the “Severance Multiple”) the sum of (1) the Base Salary then in effect plus (2) the average Incentive Bonus and Discretionary Bonus received by Mr. Cohen for the Company’s one or two most recent complete fiscal years, as applicable at the time of the termination (or, if termination occurs during the first year of employment, a prorated amount), provided that, if less than one year remains in the term of the agreement after the termination date, the Severance Multiple will be 1.0; (ii) the pro rata amount of any discretionary bonus and performance bonus he would have been due for the year in which the termination date occurred will be paid to Mr. Cohen at the time when annual bonuses are paid to the Company’s other senior executives for that fiscal year; and (iii) Mr. Cohen and his eligible family members will continue to be provided with group health insurance coverage at least equal to that which would have been provided to them if Mr. Cohen’s employment had not been terminated (or at the Company’s election, pay the applicable COBRA premium for such coverage), subject to certain rights which reduce such obligation if Mr. Cohen is covered by health insurance with a substantially similar level of insurance as prior to the termination. Additionally, unvested benefits (whether equity or cash benefits and bonuses) will vest immediately upon such termination and any outstanding stock options previously granted to Mr. Cohen will vest immediately upon such termination and will be exercisable until the earlier of (A) one year from the date of termination and (B) the latest date upon which such stock options would have expired by their original terms under any circumstance. Mr. Cohen will also receive any other benefits payable under any other benefit plans in which he is entitled to participate through the termination date, subject to and in accordance with the terms of such plans.

 

The agreement contains standard assignment of inventions, indemnification and confidentiality provisions. Further, Mr. Cohen is subject to non-solicitation covenants during the term of the agreement and for twelve months thereafter. Although Mr. Cohen will be prohibited from competing with us while he is employed with us, he will only be prohibited from competing for twelve months after his employment with us ends pursuant to the agreement.

The percentages are based upon 95,797,773 shares of our common stock outstanding as of the Date of Determination.

 

To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, as of the Date of Determination, (a) the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws; and (b) no person owns more than 5% of our common or preferred stock.

2019 Stock Option Plan

 

96

 

On July 5, 2019, the board of directors adopted and approved a 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan is intended to promote the interests of the Company by providing eligible persons with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Company as an incentive for them to remain in the service of the Company. The maximum number of shares available to be issued under the 2019 Plan is currently 10,000,000 shares, subject to adjustments for any stock splits, stock dividends or other specified adjustments which may take place in the future. The Company has issued 2,435,000 shares of common stock under the 2019 Plan as of the date of this Report.

 

The 2019 Plan is administered by the Company’s board of directors. Persons eligible to participate in the 2019 Plan must: (i) be a natural person, (ii) provide bona fide services to the Company, and (iii) provide services to the Company that services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction, and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the registrant’s securities. All grants under the 2019 Plan are intended to comply with the requirements under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and activities under the 2019 Plan will be administered accordingly.

 

Options granted under the 2019 Plan are evidenced by agreement between the recipient and the Company, subject to the following general provisions:(i) a recipient of employee stock option may not exercise any options which would cause him/her/it to hold more than 4.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common or voting stock, unless such limitation is waived by providing 61 days’ written notice to the Company, but in no event may exercise options that would cause such recipient to hold more than 9.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common or voting stock; and (ii) the term of stock options shall be limited to a maximum of two years, unless otherwise approved by the board of directors.

 

2021 Stock Option Plan

 

Effective on July 30, 2021, the majority shareholders approved the adoption of the American International Holdings Corp. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act, became effective on September 13, 2021, forty days after the date the information statement disclosing the adoption of such 2021 Plan was first made available to shareholders.

 

The 2021 Plan provides an opportunity for any employee, officer, director, or consultant of the Company, subject to limitations provided by federal or state securities laws, to receive (i) incentive stock options (to eligible employees only); (ii) nonqualified stock options; (iii) restricted stock; (iv) stock awards; (v) shares in performance of services; or (vi) any combination of the foregoing. In making such determinations, the Board of Directors may take into account the nature of the services rendered by such person, his or her present and potential contribution to the Company’s success, and such other factors as the Board of Directors in its discretion shall deem relevant.

 

Subject to adjustment in connection with the payment of a stock dividend, a stock split or subdivision or combination of the shares of common stock, or a reorganization or reclassification of the Company’s common stock, the aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan is the sum of (i) 11,100,000 shares, and (ii) an annual increase on April 1st of each calendar year, beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, in each case subject to the approval of the Board of Directors or the compensation committee of the Company (if any) on or prior to the applicable date, equal to the lesser of (A) five percent (5%) of the total shares of common stock of the Company outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; (B) 10,000,000 shares of common stock; and (C) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board of Directors or compensation committee of the of the Company (if any)(the “Share Limit”), also known as an “evergreen” provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares added to the Share Limit are available for issuance as incentive stock options only to the extent that making such shares available for issuance as incentive stock options would not cause any incentive stock option to cease to qualify as such. In the event that the Board of Directors or the compensation committee (if any) does not take action to affirmatively approve an increase in the Share Limit on or prior to the applicable date provided for under the plan, the Share Limit remains at its then current level. Notwithstanding the above, no more than 90,000,000 incentive stock options may be granted pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Plan.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS; AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Except as discussed below or otherwise disclosed above under “Item 11. Executive Compensation” or “Note 11 – Loans to Related Parties” to the Company’s audited financial statements included herein under “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, which information is incorporated by reference where applicable in this “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions; And Director Independence” section, the following sets forth a summary of all transactions since the beginning of the fiscal year of 2019, or any currently proposed transaction, in which the Company was to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at the fiscal years end for 2021 and 2020, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described above under “Item 11. Executive Compensation”). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.

 

Loans from Related Parties

 

On June 21, 2019, the Company issued a promissory note with a principal amount of $40,000 to a related party (the father of the Company’s CEO, Jacob Cohen) in exchange for $40,000 in cash. The promissory note is unsecured, has a maturity date of June 21, 2020 and accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum until paid in full by the Company. Furthermore, the Company issued 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the related party investor as further consideration to enter into the loan with the Company. The Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.10 per share or $5,000, which was accounted for as a discount on the note. This note was repaid in full in March 2020.

 

On September 9, 2019, the Company issued a promissory note with a principal amount of $100,000 to a related party (the father of the Company’s CEO, Jacob Cohen) in exchange for $100,000 in cash. The promissory note is unsecured, has a maturity date of September 9, 2020 and accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum until paid in full by the Company. Furthermore, the Company issued 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the related party investor as further consideration to enter into the loan with the Company. The Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.00 per share or $100,000, which was accounted for a discount on the note. This note was repaid in full in August 2020.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the short-term note payable to Kemah Development Texas, LP, a company owned by Dror Family Trust, a former related party totaled $13,473.

 

On September 27, 2021, October 29, 2021, November 2, 2021, and November 12, 2021, Jacob Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer, advanced the Company, $50,000, $15,000, $10,000, and $40,000, respectively, which loans are payable upon demand and not bearing interest. This amount was repaid in November, 2021.

 

Long-Term Debt to Related Parties

 

On April 12, 2019 the Company entered into individual share exchange agreements and promissory notes with each of Daniel Dror, Winfred Fields and former directors Everett Bassie (also the former CFO of the Company) and Charles Zeller (the “AMIH Shareholders”), whereby the AMIH Shareholders agreed to cancel and exchange a total of 5,900,000 shares of their AMIH common stock. The Company issued individual promissory notes with an aggregate principal balance of $350,000 (the “Promissory Notes”) for cancellation of the 5,900,000 shares of common stock. The Promissory Notes have a term of two years and accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum until paid in full by the Company. As of December 31, 2019, 4,250,000 shares were returned to Treasury for cancellation, and 1,650,000 shares were cancelled in 2020. The Company accrued $18,956 and $29,956 of interest on these notes during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

 

The Company incurred long term debt in the amount of $37,027 during the year ended December 31, 2019 to purchase equipment used in its operations. The total purchase price was $37,027, with the Company making a down payment in the amount of $3,000. The note is due in monthly payments of $1,258.50, including interest at 8%, due in September 2021. Due to the Company’s discontinued operations of its MedSpas, the equipment was returned in the third quarter of 2020. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the balance of the note was $0.

 

98

 

At December 31, 2021, accrued compensation was $103,500, representing $53,500 as owed to Jacob Cohen, the Company’s CEO and $25,000 owed to each of Alan Hernandez and Esteban Alexander, the Company’s former officers and directors.

 

Additional Transactions

 

On July 5, 2019, our board of directors adopted and approved our 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The Plan is intended to promote the interests of our Company by providing eligible person with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Company as an incentive for them to remain in the service of the Company. The maximum number of shares available to be issued under the Plan is currently 10,000,000 shares, subject to adjustments for any stock splits, stock dividends or other specified adjustments which may take place in the future. The Company issued a total of 2,535,000 shares to eligible persons under the Plan and recorded a total $2,193,550 as Stock Based Compensation against these issuances for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

On January 13, 2020, and with an effective date of December 31, 2019, the Company sold 100% of its interest in YS Brands to its then current officers and directors, Jacob Cohen, Alan Hernandez and Esteban Alexander, in consideration of $300 in cash.

 

On May 20, 2020, the Company issued one share of its newly designated shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the rights associated with such Series A Preferred Stock are described in greater detail under “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities—Description of Capital Stock—Preferred Stock—Series A Preferred Stock”), to each of the three members of its then board of directors, (1) Jacob D. Cohen, (2) Esteban Alexander and (3) Alan Hernandez, in consideration for services rendered to the Company as members of the board of directors. Such shares of Series A Preferred Stock vote in aggregate sixty percent (60%) of the total vote on all shareholder matters, voting separately as a class, as discussed in greater detail under “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities—Description of Capital Stock—Preferred Stock—Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”. Notwithstanding such voting rights, no change in control of the Company was deemed to have occurred in connection with the issuance since Messrs. Cohen, Alexander and Hernandez, own in aggregate 68% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and therefore controlled the Company prior to such issuance.

 

On October 2, 2020, Jacob D. Cohen, the Chief Executive Officer and member of the board of directors of the Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements with each of (a) Esteban Alexander, the Chief Operating Officer and member of the board of directors of the Company, and (b) Luis Alan Hernandez, the Chief Marketing Officer and member of the board of directors of the Company (collectively, the “Preferred Holders” and the “Stock Purchase Agreements”).

 

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreements, Mr. Alexander agreed to sell 7,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company which he held to Mr. Cohen, which rights to such shares were assigned by Mr. Cohen to Cohen Enterprises, Inc., which entity he controls (“Cohen Enterprises”), in consideration for an aggregate of $1,500 as well as for the amount of services provided by Mr. Cohen to the Company; and Mr. Hernandez agreed to sell 4,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company which he held to Cohen Enterprises, in consideration for an aggregate of $1,000 as well as for the amount of services provided by Mr. Cohen to the Company. The sales closed on November 5, 2020.

 

One of the reasons that Mr. Alexander and Mr. Hernandez agreed to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements (including the sale of the shares of common stock of the Company at below market value), is because (a) each of Mr. Cohen, Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Hernandez were all appointed as officers and directors of the Company at the same time in April 2019, with the intention that such persons would provide a relatively equal amount of services to the Company in the roles as officers and directors thereof; (b) since such appointment date Mr. Cohen has been required to provide a disproportionate amount of services to the Company; and (c) each of Mr. Alexander and Mr. Hernandez desired to provide additional consideration to Mr. Cohen for such disproportionate level of service.

 

99

 

A condition to the Stock Purchase Agreements was that each of Mr. Alexander and Mr. Hernandez resign as a member of the board of directors of the Company by no later than January 15, 2021, which resignations were effective December 15, 2020.

 

A further requirement to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements was that each of Mr. Alexander and Mr. Hernandez take such actions necessary and which may be requested from time to time by Mr. Cohen, to affect the cancellation of the one share of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company held by each of them, for no consideration (including, but not limited to, without the required payment by the Company of the $1 redemption price described in the designation of such Series A Preferred Stock).

 

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Mr. Alexander and Mr. Hernandez were canceled on November 6, 2020. The common shares were also transferred to Mr. Cohen on November 6, 2020, and as such, a change of control occurred on such date, with Mr. Cohen taking over voting control of the Company.

 

In January 2021, the Company issued Mr. Cohen an aggregate of 2.5 million shares of common stock in consideration for services rendered.

 

On January 12, 2022, the Company issued an award of 5,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock as a signing bonus in consideration of Mr. Cohen entering into his new Employment Agreement with the Company.

 

Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions

 

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is tasked with reviewing and approving any issues relating to conflicts of interests and all related party transactions of the Company (“Related Party Transactions”). The Audit Committee, in undertaking such review and will analyze the following factors, in addition to any other factors the Audit Committee deems appropriate, in determining whether to approve a Related Party Transaction: (1) the fairness of the terms for the Company (including fairness from a financial point of view); (2) the materiality of the transaction; (3) bids / terms for such transaction from unrelated parties; (4) the structure of the transaction; (5) the policies, rules and regulations of the U.S. federal and state securities laws; (6) the policies of the Committee; and (7) interests of each related party in the transaction.

 

The Audit Committee will only approve a Related Party Transaction if the Audit Committee determines that the terms of the Related Party Transaction are beneficial and fair (including fair from a financial point of view) to the Company and are lawful under the laws of the United States. In the event multiple members of the Audit Committee are deemed a related party, the Related Party Transaction will be considered by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors in place of the Committee.

 

In addition, our Code of Ethics (described above under “Code of Ethics”), which is applicable to all of our employees, officers and directors, requires that all employees, officers and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and our interests.

 

Director Independence

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB Market maintained by OTC Markets. The OTCQB Market does not require us to have independent members of our board of directors. Notwithstanding that, our board of directors has determined that Peter “Casey” Jensen, Lorraine D’Alessio, and Dr. Kenny Myers are “independent” pursuant to the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

As described above, we do not currently have a separately designated nominating or compensation committee.
