2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

3. Related Party Transactions

The Company has two demand notes receivable from shareholders related to the sale of common stock on January 1, 2016. Both notes’ initial balances were $506,400, with interest calculated monthly based on applicable federal rates. No payments have been received on the notes. Since repayment is not assured, the Company provided an allowance for the entire balance of principal and interest as of December 31, 2019. The current allowance is $1,166,069 as of March 31, 2024. The current loan balances are as follows:

Mr. Bradley Mitch Watkins, Director, provided certain sales, marketing and commercialization consulting services to the Company prior to his appointment to the Board of Directors. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid Mr. Watkins $0 and $564, respectively, for these services. No amounts were owed to Mr. Watkins as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, for these services.

The Company’s former Chief Financial Officer is contracted for services through a third-party public accounting firm. He is the firm’s managing partner and majority shareholder. The firm is engaged by the Company to provide accounting and tax services on a continuous basis.

The Company owed RBSK for open invoices of $68,899 and $84,279 that are included in accounts payable as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

4. Notes Payable

On November 8, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with a shareholder for the issuance 1,260,504 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 paid in 15 monthly installments of $200,000 each, commencing on the later of January 10, 2024 or a date after stockholders approve of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the creation of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Stockholder Approval”). The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into shares of common stock of the Company without any further consideration. Following the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, it will rank senior to the common stock with respect to payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. Due to a delay in Stockholder Approval, the Company amended the SPA on February 12, 2024 to issue a promissory note, due and payable on the earlier of 15 months or 12 months if the Series B Preferred Stock has not been authorized before such date, convertible into Series B Preferred Stock with identical funding amounts and terms.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a series of convertible promissory notes totaling $3,135,000 with identical terms to the $3,000,000 convertible promissory note issued on February 12, 2024 (collectively referred to as the “2024 Convertible Promissory Notes”). As of March 31, 2024, the Company has received $1,535,000 of the principal amount with the remainder due in monthly installments through the maturity date in March of 2025.

The Company’s private placement agent fees included (i) 10% of the funded principal amount and (ii) warrants calculated as 6.0% of the funded principal amount divided by the $2.38 exercise price. The fair value of the warrants of $97,465 were deferred as a financing fee and classified as additional paid in capital. The private placement agreement was terminated on March 18, 2014 pursuant to an new advisory agreement (See Note 12).

The 2024 Convertible Promissory Notes bear interest at 8.5% per annum payable quarterly in either cash or common stock at the election of the Company. At any time following the date of shareholder approval to authorize the creation of Series B Preferred Stock prior to the maturity date, the investor may elect to convert all or part of the principal into the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock at a conversion price per share equal to $2.38. Without limiting the forgoing, all principal amounts outstanding on the maturity date will automatically convert into the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends at 8.5% per annum (whether or not declared) payable quarterly in either cash or common stock at the $2.38 conversion price at the election of the Company. Upon conversion to Series B Preferred Stock, the investor may elect, at its option at any time, to convert all or part of the Series B Preferred Stock plus accrued but unpaid dividends into an equivalent amount of common stock at the $2.38 conversion price. As of March 31, 2024, no investor has converted any portion of the 2024 Convertible Notes into Series B Preferred Stock as the shareholders have not yet authorized its issuance.

Accrued interest totaled $76,319 and $66,648 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The unamortized debt discount on the 2024 Convertible Promissory Notes total $235,281 as of March 31, 2024. Amortization of the debt discount on the 2024 Convertible Notes totaled $21,863 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

5. Leases

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present in the arrangement. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and current and non-current lease liabilities, as applicable.

Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as incentives received. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments, which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. Prospectively, the Company will adjust the right-of-use assets for straight-line rent expense, or any incentives received and remeasure the lease liability at the net present value using the same incremental borrowing rate that was in effect as of the lease commencement or transition date. The Company has elected not to recognize leases with an original term of one year or less on the balance sheet. The Company typically only includes an initial lease term in its assessment of a lease arrangement. Options to renew a lease are not included in the Company’s assessment unless there is reasonable certainty that the Company will renew.

Assumptions made by the Company at the commencement date are re-evaluated upon occurrence of certain events, including a lease modification. A lease modification results in a separate contract when the modification grants the lessee an additional right of use not included in the original lease and when lease payments increase commensurate with the standalone price for the additional right of use. When a lease modification results in a separate contract, it is accounted for in the same manner as a new lease.

Entities may elect not to separate lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component for all underlying assets and allocate all the contract consideration to the lease component only.

The Company’s leases are comprised of operating leases for office space. At the inception of the lease, the Company determines whether the lease contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the commencement date of the lease. Operating leases are recorded as operating lease right-of-use assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the Balance Sheets. The Company did not have any finance leases as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Company had three leases primarily consisting of office space in Versailles and Carmel Indiana. Two of the leases in Versailles started January 1, 2022. Both have an term of one year, with automatic one year renewal, unless 60 day notice of vacating is given, commencing on the execution hereof and continuing through December 31^st of each year.. The monthly lease payments for these leases are $470 and $1,664 with a 4% per annum increase. The new lease in Carmel started January 1, 2024. The initial term is five years and five months. The monthly lease payment started at $6,721 with an annual increase of 2.5%. As long as the Company isn’t in default, they are only obligated to pay an amount equal to 50% of the monthly base rent for months 1-10.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit interest rate is generally not readily determinable, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the estimated rate of interest that the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar economic environment. Lease expense for the operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leases may include renewal options, and the renewal option is included in the lease term if the Company concludes that it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Certain leases may contain rent escalation clauses, either fixed or adjusted periodically for inflation of market rates, that are factored into the calculation of lease payments to the extent they are fixed and determinable at lease inception. The Company also has variable lease payments that do not depend on a rate or index, primarily for items such as common area maintenance and real estate taxes, which are recorded as expenses when incurred.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $25,756 and $11,729 of operating lease expense, including short-term lease expense and variable lease costs, which are immaterial.

On August 9, 2023, the Company consummated an initial public offering, conducted on a firm commitment basis, pursuant to which it sold 1,098,667 shares of its common stock at a price of $6.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $6,592,002. See Note 1.

On January 2, 2024, the Company issued 75,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $200,250 pursuant to a consulting agreement.

In connection with a bridge loan, the Company issued a warrant on September 18, 2018 that allows the holder to purchase common stock from the Company at a share price of $4.38 per share. The number of shares was based on a formula tied to the final amount of loans made by the holder of $375,000, multiplied by 150%, and divided by $70.03. The number of shares based on this formula is 12,852. The warrant contains certain rights in the event of liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company. If the fair market value of one share is greater than the warrant price, the holder may elect to receive a number of shares equal to the value of the warrant. If the exercise is in connection with the sale of the Company, the holder may, at its option, condition its exercise of the warrant upon the consummation of such transaction. The warrant expires on September 18, 2028 and can be exercisable either in whole or from time to time in part prior to the expiration date.

The Company issued a second warrant on September 6, 2019, under similar terms but is a penny warrant that allows the holder to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock and is subject to adjustment for certain equity events. The warrant contains certain rights in the event of liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company. The warrant expires on September 6, 2029. This warrant was converted to 39,924 shares of common stock on December 28, 2023. The fair market value of the stock on that day was calculated as the average of the daily closing prices per share for the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the second trading day prior to such date or $2.61 per share. Since the fair value was greater than the warrant price of $0.01 per share the holder elected to receive the number of shares equal to 40,000 times the difference between the fair market value and the exercise price divided by the fair market value, resulting in 39,924.

The Company issued a third warrant to Masimo Corporation on April 9, 2020. This warrant was pre-funded in the amount of $2,734,340. The warrant allows the holder to purchase 289,779 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at $9.44 per share and is subject to adjustment for certain equity events. The warrant contains certain rights in the event of liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company. There will be no additional purchase price for the Warrants. In the event that all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted, automatically or by action of the holders thereof, into Common Stock, including, without limitation, in connection with the Company’s initial, underwritten public offering and sale of its Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, then from and after the date on which all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been so converted, this Warrant shall be exercisable for such number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrant Shares would have been converted had the Warrant Shares been outstanding on the date of such conversion, and the Exercise Price shall equal the Exercise Price in effect as of immediately prior to such conversion divided by the number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Series A Preferred Stock would have been converted, all subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. On August 14, 2023, the 144,890 Series A Preferred Stock warrants were converted to 289,779 common stock warrants.
