Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation  

 

Nature of Business

 

The Coretec Group Inc. (the “Group”) (formerly 3DIcon Corporation) (“3DIcon”) was incorporated on August 11, 1995, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma as First Keating Corporation. The articles of incorporation were amended August 1, 2003 to change the name to 3DIcon Corporation. During 2001, First Keating Corporation began to focus on the development of 360-degree holographic technology. From January 1, 2001, 3DIcon’s primary activity has been the raising of capital in order to pursue its goal of becoming a significant participant in the development, commercialization and marketing of next generation 3D display technologies.

 

Coretec Industries, LLC (“Coretec”), is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group (collectively the “Company”). The Company is currently developing, testing, and providing new and/or improved technologies, products, and service solutions for energy-related industries including, but not limited to oil/gas, renewable energy, and distributed energy industries. Many of these technologies and products also have application for medical, electronic, photonic, display, and lighting markets among others. Early adoption of these technologies and products is anticipated in markets for energy storage (Li-ion batteries), renewable energy (BIPV), and electronics (Asset Monitoring).

 

Reverse Acquisition

 

On May 31, 2016, the Group entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Coretec and four Coretec members (the “Members”), which Members held all outstanding membership interests in Coretec. On September 30, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Group closed the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Members agreed to sell all their membership interests in Coretec to the Group in exchange for the Group’s issuance of an aggregate 4,760,872 shares of the Group’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to the Members (the “Exchange”). Coretec became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group and the former Members beneficially owned approximately 65% of the Group’s common stock on a fully diluted basis on the Closing Date. Upon the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, two of the Group’s Directors resigned and three new Directors associated with Coretec were nominated and elected, giving control of the board of directors to former Coretec Members.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the previously filed Form 10-K, and in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company. The consolidated results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of the results which may be realized for the full year.

 

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Group and its wholly owned subsidiary, Coretec. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

Intangibles

 

Intangible assets consist of purchased patents and capitalized website costs. Intangible assets are recorded at the fair value as of the date of acquisition, and intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill was acquired with the reverse acquisition. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill on an annual basis and if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of goodwill below its carrying amount. When assessing whether goodwill is impaired, management considers first a qualitative approach to evaluate whether it is more likely than not the fair value of the goodwill is below its carrying amount; if so, management considers a quantitative approach by analyzing changes in performance and market-based metrics as compared to those used at the time of the initial acquisition. For the periods presented, no impairment charges were recognized.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; major improvements and betterments are capitalized.

 

Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows for the major classes of assets:

 

Asset Description		Estimated Lives (years)
Furniture and fixtures			7
Laboratory Equipment			7

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, such as intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument held by the Company:

 

Current assets and current liabilities - The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these items.

 

Notes payable - The fair value of the Company's notes payable has been estimated by the Company based upon the liability's characteristics, including interest rates, embedded instruments and conversion discounts. The carrying value approximates fair value after taking into consideration the liability’s characteristics.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

 

		June 30,
		2024				2023
Options			98,158,160				77,158,160
Warrants			91,314,000				120,014,000
Series A convertible preferred stock			115,000				115,000
Convertible debt			123,280,537				45,155,537
Total potentially dilutive shares			312,867,697				242,442,697

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates will be recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company’s tax benefits are fully offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty that the deferred tax assets would be realized. Management considers the likelihood of changes by taxing authorities in its filed income tax returns and recognizes a liability for or discloses potential changes that management believes are more likely than not to occur upon examination by tax authorities. Management has not identified any uncertain tax positions in filed income tax returns that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Financing, Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

As of this report, the Company has insufficient revenue and capital commitments to fund the development of its planned products, pay current operating expenses and debt commitments beyond a year following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a year following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

 

On March 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Core Optics, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Core Optics”), Core Optics Co., Ltd., a Republic of Korea corporation (“Operating Subsidiary”) and Core SS LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Member”), which Member holds all outstanding membership interests in Core Optics. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the closing of which remains subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, the Member agreed to sell all of its membership interests in Core Optics to the Company in exchange for the Company’s issuance of certain shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0002 per share, of the Company; and (ii) certain shares of the Company’s common stock, for the Membership Interests so transferred by the Member (the “Exchange”). Upon consummation of the Exchange, Core Optics will be a wholly-owned-direct subsidiary of the Company, Operating Subsidiary will be a wholly-owned-indirect subsidiary of the Company, the combined company will continue to operate under the name The Coretec Group, Inc., the Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the ticker symbol “CRTG”, and the Member is expected to beneficially own approximately 80% of the Company’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis.

 

Each share of the Series C Preferred Stock is expected to be convertible into 150 shares of common stock and has a stated value of $3.00. The Preferred Stock is not expected to: require the payment of any dividends; include any operational covenants; or require the Company to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock. Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock is expected to be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Company common stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible. In addition, it is expected that all outstanding Series C Preferred Stock will be automatically converted after a mandatory conversion event, which will be set forth in a certificate of designation that the Company would file with the Secretary of the State of Oklahoma at or before the closing of the Exchange.

 

On June 27, 2024, the Company, Core Optics, the Operating Subsidiary and the Member entered into an amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement the parties agreed to amend Sections 1.1, 9 and 10 of the Share Exchange Agreement. These amendments are intended to memorialize the understanding between the parties related to the beneficial holding of the combined company, wherein after the successful completion of the Share Exchange, the Member or its designee(s) shall beneficially own approximately 80% of the Company’s Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, immediately prior to closing and after giving effect to any issuances by the Company. In addition, the parties have agreed to certain additional closing conditions and to extend the final date of the Share Exchange Agreement to July 31, 2024.

 

On July 31, 2024, the parties have entered into an Amendment No. 2 to the Share Exchange Agreement (“Second Amendment Agreement”), to further extend the final date of the Share Exchange Agreement, as amended, to August 15, 2024. All parties continue to progress to complete certain pre-closing and closing conditions, under the Share Exchange Agreement and the First Amendment Agreement and all transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement. Consummation of the Exchange may also be deemed as a fundamental transaction under certain outstanding derivative securities, which could result, among other things, in a mandatory cash redemption payment based on the Black-Scholes value on the outstanding instrument. 

 

Consummation of the Exchange is subject to customary conditions, including without limitation, (i) the delivery to the Company by the Member or its designees, if any, of a representation letter attesting to its status as an “accredited investor;” (ii) the delivery to the Company by the Member or its designees, if any, a lock up agreement in the form attached to the Share Exchange Agreement; (iii) the delivery by the Company of lock up agreements, in the form attached to the Share Exchange Agreement, from certain members of the Company’s management; (iv) the delivery to the Company of the required consolidated financial statements, as specified under the Share Exchange Agreement; (v) delivery by the Company to Core Optics of an applicable notice or approval from the OTC Markets that Company’s Common Stock continue to be quoted on the OTCQB after the Closing; and (vi) delivery by the Company and Core Optics of all required consents to consummate the transaction and meet the standard closing conditions. Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement the Exchange also become subject to certain additional closing conditions, including without limitation, (i) waiver by Series A Preferred Stock Holders, (ii) cancellation or waiver of fundamental transaction cash payment terms, (iii) settlement of all accounts of the Company; and (iv) mandatory conversion or settlement of all principal amount and accrued interest on the outstanding DAF Note.

 

The Share Exchange Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company, Core Optics, and the Member.

 

The Company and the Core Optics management team are actively working toward a closing date for the merger.  Both parties are engaged in carefully proceeding fulfill all pre-closing and closing conditions.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends on the successful completion of the Company's referenced share exchange agreement with Core Optics, LLC and the ability of the Company, post-merger, to fund the combined entities activities and development of its planned products.

 

In the event that the referenced share exchange agreement does not close, then the Company intends to continue to raise additional capital through other debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis or, notwithstanding any request the Company may make, the Company’s debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.

Note 8 – Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Warrants and Options

 

Common Stock

 

On June 8, 2020, the Board of Directors consented to a share exchange agreement with holders of 21,500,000 options awarded on August 7, 2019. The agreement allows for holders to exchange their options for rule 144 common stock at an exchange rate of 0.6 shares per 1 option.

On October 27, 2023 the Board of Directors consented to extend the previous practice of satisfying accrued liabilities of vendors by issuing common stock from the equity incentive plans through September 1, 2024. The number of shares issued to satisfy a liability was determined by the average closing price for the fifteen (15) days prior to conversion at a discount rate of 50% to that fifteen (15) day average. The stock issuance, in lieu of cash payment, requires written approval of the Chief Executive Officer. The Company issued 903,224 and 0 shares under this consent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Warrants

 

Warrants to subscribe for and purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.052 per share were included under the terms of the DAF Credit Agreement.

In the event that funding advances deviate from the planned schedule then warrants will be issued pro-rata at 1.2 warrants for every $1 of funding. Warrants granted under the terms of the DAF Credit Agreement total 2,814,000 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The estimated value of the warrants granted monthly, with each advance, is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected dividend yield is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the warrant is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience. the resulting estimated value of the warrant is used to proportionally allocate the fair value of the debt advance and the fair value of the warrants.

Plan of Operation

 

Organizational History 

 

On June 22, 2017, the Group filed an Amended Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Oklahoma to change its name from “3DIcon Corporation” to “The Coretec Group Inc.”, which became effective on June 29, 2017.

 

The Group, formerly known as 3DIcon Corporation, was incorporated on August 11, 1995, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. Prior to September 30, 2016, the Group’s primary activity had been the raising of capital in order to pursue its goal of becoming a significant participant in the development, commercialization and marketing of next generation 3D display technologies.

 

On September 30, 2016, Coretec Industries LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group, and the Group issued an aggregate 15,870 shares of the Group’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; those shares were subsequently converted into 30,374,363 shares of common stock. 

 

Overview of the Company.

 

Coretec’s Technology. The Coretec Group owns intellectual property and patents related to the production and application of engineered silicon to enable new technologies and to improve the lifespan and performance of a variety of materials in a range of industries. The Company is exploring opportunities to use its silicon discoveries and developments to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries, solid-state LED lights and semiconductors, among other technologies. It is also exploring ways to use its intellectual property to develop optical plastics to advance development of its CSpace 3D imaging chamber.

 

Endurion. The Company is developing a lithium-ion battery with a silicon-based anode under the name Endurion. The battery industry acknowledges silicon as the next frontier in increasing battery life and utility. To date, battery developers have experienced expansion and contraction problems with silicon anodes including continual formation and degradation of solid-electrolyte-interphase (SEI) material as lithium-ions are absorbed and discharged. During this process, silicon particles can break down, immediately reducing the charging capacity of the anodes. Additionally, the continual formation of SEI material consumes lithium-ions that are then unavailable for charging and can cause negative effects on cycle life. The Company’s battery development program, Endurion, addresses this problem by using silicon-based nanoparticles to mitigate the swelling and pulverization issues that are common in early iterations of silicon anodes. Additionally, Endurion nanoparticles are being engineered with an inherent SEI layer that will allow better conduction of lithium-ions across the SEI layer, thus leading to better cycle life. Using a bottom-up wet chemistry approach, Endurion is being designed to increase energy density in batteries and allow for greater endurance, enhanced performance, and larger capacity in burgeoning applications such as electric vehicles, military technologies, mobile devices, and space exploration.

 

 

Cyclohexasilane (CHS). Coretec’s underlying technology is focused on the production of a high-value liquid silicon precursor, cyclohexasilane (“CHS”). A key advantage of CHS is that it remains in liquid form at room temperature and does not convert to a gas until heated above 450°F. CHS is superior to other silicon precursor in many ways compared to materials commonly used for manufacturing silicon-based semiconductors and solar cells (monosilane or trichlorosilane), which have much lower boiling points that require more prescriptive handling that results in higher shipping and handling costs. Using CHS offers several potential technical advantages of using CHS versus common silicon precursors. The Company anticipates that CHS will first be used as an alternative to monosilane or trichlorosilane when adding silicon to lithium ion batteries or when used in manufacturing silicon-based semiconductors.

 

The Company also envisions long-term potential in several emerging markets where there are opportunities to convert CHS into nanoparticles and nanowires, for such purposes as:

 

	●	Energy storage
	●	Solid-state LED lighting
	●	Light sensing spectrometers
	●	Printable electronics
	●	Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) solar energy

 

Enhancement of CSpace. The Company’s CSpace segment is developing technologies to produce 360-degree volumetric, high-resolution images in a 3D image chamber. The Company is applying its technical expertise and intellectual property in silicon-based materials to advance commercialization prospects for its CSpace technology.

 

A key challenge in the evolution of CSpace® is the development of the material used for the image chamber. The Company is exploring and testing a variety of glass alternatives with a focus primarily in optimizing the weight and cost of a glass medium.

 

Near-Term Revenue Opportunities. Opportunities for near-term revenue continue to be explored in battery and microelectronic markets. Interest in the use of silicon in Li-ion batteries continues to increase driven by the growing demand for electrical vehicles, the growth of mobile electronics, and energy storage systems for backup power in commercial wind and solar systems. Discussions are ongoing with end-users of Li-ion battery anode materials that are seeking next generation materials to further increase performance while improving lifetime, charging time, safety and reliability.

 

We believe these users will be well positioned to benefit from Endurion. While we believe Endurion will provide near term revenue, we also continue to explore revenue opportunities with CHS in microelectronics and especially those early adopter markets where advanced microelectronics are being developed in lower volumes and with less price sensitivity. 

 

Endurion Business

 

The global demand for an improved battery is increasing exponentially. The lithium-ion battery market size is expected to grow from $45 billion in 2022 to $135 billion by 2031; with a compounded annual growth rate of 13% over that time period. The Company’s plan is to develop a Li-ion battery with a silicon-based anode. Research has shown that silicon has a 10X increased capacity of energy storage. So, even incremental amounts of silicon in the traditional graphite matrix could contribute substantially to overall increased anode capacity. The Coretec Group’s unique functionalized silicon nanoparticle anode material with an engineered SEI layer allows greater ability to access the unique material properties of silicon potentially leading to increased energy density, faster charging, and enhanced cycle life. 

 

 

Endurion Business Model

 

Coretec’s business model for Endurion is to use its expertise in engineering silicon to create modified silicon nanoparticles for the Endurion battery. The Company uses its personnel, laboratory, and physical assets to research and develop Endurion. In addition, the Company will utilize the resources of outside vendors for products and services including outside testing providers, chemical material suppliers, and battery manufacturers.

 

Potential Applications for Endurion Revenue

 

	●	Electric vehicles
	●	Consumer electronics
	●	Stationery and utility-scale energy storage for green energy development – wind and solar
	●	Military vehicles, drones, and weapon systems as well as wearable power for soldiers

 

Endurion Competition

 

The global lithium-ion battery market size was valued at USD $45 billion in 2022 and a number of multi-billion dollar companies such as Panasonic and Samsung manufacture Li-ion batteries. Lithium silicon batteries are a subclass of the total Li-ion battery market.  The global adoption of electric vehicles is driving the growth in battery innovation.  A number of private and public companies are attempting to improve lithium-ion batteries by using silicon in the battery anode. To date, a proven solution for a silicon based anode has yet to be commercialized on a large scale.

 

The Company’s wet chemistry approach is innovative and ground breaking.  The Endurion technology will produce an anode for lithium-ion batteries with an artificial SEI layer on silicon nanoparticles. The competitive advantage of Endurion is realizing the immense benefits of silicon in lithium-ion batteries and achieving:

 

	●	Greater energy density
	●	Faster charging
	●	Improved cycle life

 

Cyclohexasilane Business

 

The Company’s business model is to identify and commercialize disruptive technologies requiring silicon that serve advanced technology markets. Sources of disruptive technology are often licensed technology created by major universities, institutes, national laboratories and other research centers. Where technology does not already exist, the Company intends to sponsor and jointly develop research with its customers, as well as continue its research in the Company’s lab.

 

Coretec is developing, testing, and providing new and/or improved technologies and resulting product solutions for energy-related industries including, but not limited to energy storage, renewable energy, energy conservation, and distributed energy industries. Many of these technologies and resulting product solutions can also be applied to the broader markets of anti-counterfeit packaging, medical devices, electronics, photonics, and displays. The initial technologies and product solutions are based on new innovations in:

 

	●	Cyclohexasilane (Si6H12)
	●	Silicon quantum dots (Si QDs)
	●	“Stacked” polysilane ((R2Si)n)
	●	Doped alloy variants of the various silicon innovations
	●	Future, high-refractive-index siloxane polymers (HRISP)

 

Early adoption of these technologies and resulting product solutions is anticipated in markets for energy storage (lithium-ion batteries), solid-state lighting (LEDs), solar energy and printable electronics.

 

Coretec’s management leverages years of expertise and experience in equipment and services for the energy storage industry, procuring and managing investments and financial services, and in R&D and commercialization of material and chemical technologies.

 

 

CHS Business Model

 

Coretec’s business model includes monitoring the ever-growing catalogue of new technologies and valuable IP for licensing opportunities that could lead to incremental improvements and/or additional features in resulting products or lead to next generation products for use by energy-related industries and is created and held within universities and other parties that may lack financial resources and/or interest to further develop and commercialize them.

 

Additionally, where needs exist, but new technologies and resulting products are not currently available, the Company aims to conduct research-and-development (“R&D”) activities through sponsored projects performed at major universities, institutes, national laboratories and other research centers. Coretec will leverage existing, world-class expertise, experience, and laboratory facilities in these non-profit entities for R&D, testing, and proof-of-concept studies up to and including studies at the device level that may be required to create commercialization opportunities.

 

Following these proof-of-concept studies, commercialization opportunities (e.g., manufacturing, marketing, sales) created for its technologies and IP will include, but are not limited to:

 

	●	Joint ventures or other business collaborations with Coretec’s joint development partners who can manufacture, market and sell new or improved products (based upon Coretec’s technologies and IP) into existing or new supply chains
	●	Manufacturing, marketing and selling its own products
	●	Creating exit strategies such as:

 

	○	The sale of one or more technologies and related IP to the private sector
	○	The licensing of and/or sublicensing of one or more technologies and related IP to the private sector
	○	Other business transactions, such as mergers, acquisitions and spinoffs

 

CHS Research & Development

 

Coretec’s priorities for R&D and commercialization are customer- and market-driven and guided by the needs and specifications of the energy-related industries served. Identified customer- and market-driven opportunities include:

 

●

Novel silicon-based materials that facilitate “greener” more eco-friendly energy production, including:

 

	○	Lower-cost, longer-life, higher-capacity battery energy storage systems, such as lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), for use in transportation and distributed power-generation systems
	○	More aesthetically appealing, lower cost building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV)
	○	Flexible and/or printable electronics for use in monitoring the condition of distributed or remote assets, e.g., wind power and embedded, wireless sensors to detect corrosion and other changes in pipelines.

 

	●	Novel silicon-based materials that facilitate “greener” more energy efficient products, such as the encapsulation of high-brightness LEDs to improve light extraction, and solar cells to improve full-spectrum light collection
	●	Novel silicon-based materials that facilitate more efficient and eco-friendly exploration and monitoring of distributed energy industries, including imaging materials for visualizing oil and gas exploration and distribution data using volumetric 3D displays
	●	Novel silicon-based materials that prevent illegal imitation or reproduction of a product or service used within energy-related industries, including trusted-supply products (anti-counterfeit packaging) for supply chain assurance, currency, identity documents, lottery tickets, etc.

 

 

Future CHS Revenue

 

In the future, the Company anticipates revenue from one or more business transactions, such as:

 

	●	The sale of Coretec novel silicon-based materials that improve or otherwise enhance the performance of such products as lithium-ion batteries, electronics, solar cells, and displays and/or other optical-based devices
	●	A share of the revenue from the sale of jointly developed product(s) and/or from one or more joint ventures with strategic partners
	●	The sale or licensing of technologies and associated intellectual property to joint development partners or other companies

 

CHS Competition

 

Based on market research and competitive analysis, the Company believes its CHS technology is unique and provides an advantage in that should allow for 1) high-yield, low-cost production using readily available raw materials, 2) storage, transport and use as a liquid at room temperature 3) processing of the liquid into fibers, particles, and films that, when heated, form silicon, and 4) the creation of doped silicon by doping CHS at an atomic level. Competing silanes provided by numerous manufacturers exist as a gas at room temperature, making them explosive. This results in greater costs for storage, handling, transportation and use. The closest competitor to Coretec’s CHS is cyclopentasilane which exists as a gas at room temperature. Cyclopentasilane has proven costly and difficult to manufacture. Other competitors exist for specific applications. For example, graphene and carbon nanotubes are potential competitors in printable electronics. However, they are only now emerging and require a purification process that is proving costly.    

 

Coretec’s business and commercialization model is based in part upon establishing joint development partnerships with companies that are commercially successful and financially sound as well as deeply embedded in the supply chains for the aforementioned energy-related products. For example, Coretec is developing a strategic partnership with a domestic supplier of silicon-based materials that will facilitate further development and scale-up of cyclohexasilane (Si6H12) plus chemical derivatives and other materials based on CHS. This strategic partnership will enable Coretec to supply large quantities of these novel silicon materials to those companies interested in producing prototype batteries, electronics, and photovoltaic/solar cells for testing and commercial evaluation. Coretec will continue to seek other such strategic partnerships within the private sector.

 

Volumetric 3D Display Business

 

The Company owns the rights to a patented volumetric 3D display technology that was developed by and with the University of Oklahoma (the “University”) under a Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”). The development to date has resulted in multiple technologies, two working laboratory prototypes (Lab Proto 1 and Lab Proto 2). Under the SRA, the Company has obtained the exclusive worldwide marketing rights to these 3D display technologies. On December 28, 2010, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) approved the patent called “Light Surface Display for Rendering a Three-Dimensional Image,” and issued the United States Patent No. 7,858,913. On August 21, 2012, the USPTO approved a continuation patent called “3D Volumetric Display” and issued the US Patent No. 8,247,755. These patents describe the foundation of what is called CSpace® technology (“CSpace”). 

 

Overview of Volumetric 3D Display Technology

 

CSpace is a patented glasses-free 3D static volumetric display technology that is being designed to produce high-resolution full- color, true 3D images from 3D datasets generated by imaging systems or transformed from raw datasets (e.g., cyber data) that can benefit from visualization in 3D. Coretec CSpace will deliver 800 million voxels in a full color desktop format having a 360 degree viewing angle. The creation of high resolution images in a glass chamber reduces eye and cognitive fatigue that can degrade user comfort, endurance and reliability during decision making.

 

 

Commercialization Strategy and Target Applications

 

The Company plans to commercialize the CSpace volumetric 3D technology through customer-funded research-and-development contracts and technology licensing agreements for such high-value applications as air-traffic control, design visualization, and medical imaging. The Company plans to develop products for contract engineering and with joint development customers. At this time the Company does not have any commercialized products and does not plan to develop its own products based on the CSpace technology due to the high –value, low-volume nature of the best-fit initial applications for this technology. These applications include but are not limited to the following:

 

●	Healthcare (diagnostics, surgical planning, training, telemedicine, bio surveillance)
●	Cybersecurity data visualization
●	Military (operational planning, training, modeling and simulation, battlespace awareness, damage assessment, autonomous piloting)
●	Physical security (passenger, luggage & cargo screening)
●	Mining, oil & gas exploration
●	Meteorological and oceanographic data visualization

 

CSpace Competition

 

Based on market research, we have concluded that the CSpace volumetric technology is unique and advantaged versus other 3D technologies in that it can deliver both 1) a true 360-degree viewing experience for multiple simultaneous users, and 2) high image quality, high reliability and large image size. Rear projection 3D displays such as those from Zecotek, Setred, and EuroLCDs (formerly LC Tech LightSpace) do not provide a 360-degree viewing experience and are typically limited to one or two users. Early proof-of-concept work done on infrared active phosphor displays by 3D Display Laboratories proved to not be scalable due to limited phosphor persistence and vector scanning limitations. While holographic and light-field displays show promise, they do not deliver a true 360-degree viewing experience and cost-effective multiple user systems do not appear feasible due to current and expected pixel density, data bandwidth and compute power limitations.

 

History of 3D Technology Research and Development at the University of Oklahoma

 

Beginning in 2007 the University, under an SRA with the Company, undertook the development of high potential 3D display technologies. It is anticipated that Coretec’s technology will play a key role in the continued development of an image space material for CSpace.

On June 2, 2024, Matthew L. Hoffman resigned as the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and from any and all other positions held by him at The Coretec Group Inc. (the “Company”), effective immediately. Mr. Hoffman’s decision to resign is due to his acceptance of an offer as chief financial officer at another corporation and not due to any disagreement with the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company, or any other member of the Company’s management. On June 6, 2024, Mr. Hoffman was issued 6,208,242 shares under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, in lieu of cash payment for accrued liabilities owed to Mr. Hoffman and for services through the effective date of his resignation. Mr. Hoffman has generously agreed to assist the Company in any transitionary needs on a consultant basis. Mr. Matthew Kappers has taken on the responsibility of Chief Financial Officer upon Mr. Hoffman’s departure.

 

On June 6, 2024, Mr. Matthew Kappers was issued 8,647,194 shares under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, in lieu of cash payment for accrued liabilities owed to Mr. Kappers and for services through April 30, 2024.

 

On June 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Warrant Purchase Agreement with an Investor (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company will purchase from the Investor all outstanding Warrants issued to the Investor, for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000. The Company paid an initial $250,000 to the Investor, and has agreed to pay the Investor an additional payment of $250,000, if the Share Exchange transaction is successfully consummated (“Final Payment”). Following the delivery of the Final Payment to the Investors, the Investors will relinquish all rights, title and interest in the Warrants and assign the same to the Company, and the Warrants will be cancelled.

 

On June 17, 2024, the Board of the Company approved the issuance of an unsecured convertible promissory note, to Victor Keen, a director and affiliate of the Company, in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (the “Note”). The maturity date of the Note is 18 months from the date of issuance. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note accrues at 8% per annum, payable on maturity. The Note is subject to a mandatory conversion provision if the transaction as reported in the form 8K submitted with the SEC on March 6, 2024, is successfully consummated. On closing of such transaction, the Note shall automatically and mandatorily convert into, and Mr. Keen shall be issued warrants purchase up to 78,125,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to $0.007 (which price was negotiated using the approximate average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten prior trading days of Mr. Keen’s funding of the Note). The Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuance and are attached as an annexure to the Note.

 

On June 27, 2024, the Company, Core Optics, the Operating Subsidiary and the Member entered into an amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement the parties have agreed to amend Sections 1.1, 9 and 10 of the Share Exchange Agreement. These amendments are intended to memorialize the understanding between the parties related to the beneficial holding of the combined company, wherein after the successful completion of the Share Exchange, the Member or its designee(s) shall beneficially own approximately 80% of the Company’s Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, immediately prior to closing and after giving effect to any issuances by the Company. In addition, the parties have agreed to certain additional closing conditions and to extend the final date of the Share Exchange Agreement to July 31, 2024.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has insufficient revenue and capital commitments to fund the development of its planned products and pay current operating expenses beyond a year following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a year following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Management is committed to securing revenue and or capital commitments to fund the development of its planned products and to pay operating expenses, to realize the value of its technologies. Management remains focused on controlling cash while advancing its technology platforms and will continue to leverage stock-for-services whenever possible.

 

Our ability to fund the operations of the Company is highly dependent on the underlying stock price of the Company.

 

The operating budget consists of the following expenses:

 

●  Research and development related expenses for Endurion battery development

 

●  Equipment and related infrastructure for battery fabrication and testing

 

●  Intellectual property patent filing via engagement of legal counsel and Chief Technical Officer

 

●  Continued use of public relations consulting firm, marketing outreach to bolster the Company’s message and digital platform

 

●  General and administrative expenses: Chief Executive and Chief Financial officer expenses, salaries, insurance, investor related expenses, rent, travel, website, etc.

 

●  Professional fees for accounting and audit; legal services for securities and financing

 

We had cash of $4,437 at June 30, 2024. 

 

We had negative working capital of $1,308,836 at June 30, 2024.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we used $674,175 of cash for operating activities, a net decrease of $130,658 or 16% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

The net decrease in the use of cash for operating activities was a result of a decrease in the net loss of $123,232, a decrease in the amortization and depreciation of $23,633, an increase in prepaid expenses of $14,694, an increase in prepaid warrant repurchase of $250,000, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $266,365.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we increased $154,624 of cash for financing activities compared to using $60,148 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net increase in the use of cash for investing activities of $214,772 was a result of an increase of $248,750 of debt and warrants issued and $33,978 decrease in notes payable.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There has been no change in the significant accounting policies summarized in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed on March 21, 2024.

 

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

The Company is a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1) and is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as we do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner. In addition, 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, management will engage financial consultants and perform additional analysis and other procedures to help address this material weakness. Until remediation actions are fully implemented, and the operational effectiveness of related internal controls are validated through testing, the material weaknesses described above will continue to exist. 

 

Notwithstanding the assessment that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that there is a material weakness as identified herein, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report fairly present our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby in all material respects.

 

Changes in Disclosure Controls and Procedures. There has been no change in our disclosure controls and procedures identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our disclosure controls and procedures.

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

 

We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is our property the subject of a pending legal proceeding, that is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to the financial condition of our business. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our business.

 

Item 1A.

Not Applicable.

 

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

None.

 

Item 3.

Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

None.

 

Item 4.

Mine Safety Disclosure.

 

Not Applicable.

 

 

Item 5.

Other Information.

Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation     Nature of Business   The Coretec Group Inc. (the “Group”) (formerly 3DIcon Corporation) (“3DIcon”) was incorporated on August 11, 1995, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma as First Keating Corporation. The articles of incorporation were amended August 1, 2003 to change the name to 3DIcon Corporation. During 2001, First Keating Corporation began to focus on the development of 360-degree holographic technology. From January 1, 2001, 3DIcon’s primary activity has been the raising of capital in order to pursue its goal of becoming a significant participant in the development, commercialization and marketing of next generation 3D display technologies.   Coretec Industries, LLC (“Coretec”), is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group (collectively the “Company”). The Company is currently developing, testing, and providing new and/or improved technologies, products, and service solutions for energy-related industries including, but not limited to oil/gas, renewable energy, and distributed energy industries. Many of these technologies and products also have application for medical, electronic, photonic, display, and lighting markets among others. Early adoption of these technologies and products is anticipated in markets for energy storage (Li-ion batteries), renewable energy (BIPV), and electronics (Asset Monitoring).   Reverse Acquisition   On May 31, 2016, the Group entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Coretec and four Coretec members (the “Members”), which Members held all outstanding membership interests in Coretec. On September 30, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Group closed the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Members agreed to sell all their membership interests in Coretec to the Group in exchange for the Group’s issuance of an aggregate 4,760,872 shares of the Group’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to the Members (the “Exchange”). Coretec became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group and the former Members beneficially owned approximately 65% of the Group’s common stock on a fully diluted basis on the Closing Date. Upon the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, two of the Group’s Directors resigned and three new Directors associated with Coretec were nominated and elected, giving control of the board of directors to former Coretec Members.   Basis of Presentation   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the previously filed Form 10-K, and in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company. The consolidated results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of the results which may be realized for the full year.

Notes to Financial Statements
Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies   Principles of Consolidation   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Group and its wholly owned subsidiary, Coretec. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.   Use of Estimates   The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.     Intangibles   Intangible assets consist of purchased patents and capitalized website costs. Intangible assets are recorded at the fair value as of the date of acquisition, and intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.   Goodwill   Goodwill was acquired with the reverse acquisition. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill on an annual basis and if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of goodwill below its carrying amount. When assessing whether goodwill is impaired, management considers first a qualitative approach to evaluate whether it is more likely than not the fair value of the goodwill is below its carrying amount; if so, management considers a quantitative approach by analyzing changes in performance and market-based metrics as compared to those used at the time of the initial acquisition. For the periods presented, no impairment charges were recognized.   Property and Equipment   Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; major improvements and betterments are capitalized.   Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows for the major classes of assets:   Asset Description   Estimated Lives (years)   Furniture and fixtures     7   Laboratory Equipment     7     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets   Long-lived assets, such as intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments   The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument held by the Company:   Current assets and current liabilities - The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these items.   Notes payable - The fair value of the Company's notes payable has been estimated by the Company based upon the liability's characteristics, including interest rates, embedded instruments and conversion discounts. The carrying value approximates fair value after taking into consideration the liability’s characteristics.     Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share   Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:       June 30,       2024     2023   Options     98,158,160       77,158,160   Warrants     91,314,000       120,014,000   Series A convertible preferred stock     115,000       115,000   Convertible debt     123,280,537       45,155,537   Total potentially dilutive shares     312,867,697       242,442,697     Research and Development   Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.   Income Taxes   The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates will be recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.   The Company’s tax benefits are fully offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty that the deferred tax assets would be realized. Management considers the likelihood of changes by taxing authorities in its filed income tax returns and recognizes a liability for or discloses potential changes that management believes are more likely than not to occur upon examination by tax authorities. Management has not identified any uncertain tax positions in filed income tax returns that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Substantial Doubt about Going Concern [Text Block]	Note 3 – Financing, Going Concern and Management’s Plans   As of this report, the Company has insufficient revenue and capital commitments to fund the development of its planned products, pay current operating expenses and debt commitments beyond a year following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a year following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.   On March 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Core Optics, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Core Optics”), Core Optics Co., Ltd., a Republic of Korea corporation (“Operating Subsidiary”) and Core SS LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Member”), which Member holds all outstanding membership interests in Core Optics. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the closing of which remains subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, the Member agreed to sell all of its membership interests in Core Optics to the Company in exchange for the Company’s issuance of certain shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0002 per share, of the Company; and (ii) certain shares of the Company’s common stock, for the Membership Interests so transferred by the Member (the “Exchange”). Upon consummation of the Exchange, Core Optics will be a wholly-owned-direct subsidiary of the Company, Operating Subsidiary will be a wholly-owned-indirect subsidiary of the Company, the combined company will continue to operate under the name The Coretec Group, Inc., the Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the ticker symbol “CRTG”, and the Member is expected to beneficially own approximately 80% of the Company’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis.   Each share of the Series C Preferred Stock is expected to be convertible into 150 shares of common stock and has a stated value of $3.00. The Preferred Stock is not expected to: require the payment of any dividends; include any operational covenants; or require the Company to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock. Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock is expected to be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Company common stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible. In addition, it is expected that all outstanding Series C Preferred Stock will be automatically converted after a mandatory conversion event, which will be set forth in a certificate of designation that the Company would file with the Secretary of the State of Oklahoma at or before the closing of the Exchange.   On June 27, 2024, the Company, Core Optics, the Operating Subsidiary and the Member entered into an amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement the parties agreed to amend Sections 1.1, 9 and 10 of the Share Exchange Agreement. These amendments are intended to memorialize the understanding between the parties related to the beneficial holding of the combined company, wherein after the successful completion of the Share Exchange, the Member or its designee(s) shall beneficially own approximately 80% of the Company’s Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, immediately prior to closing and after giving effect to any issuances by the Company. In addition, the parties have agreed to certain additional closing conditions and to extend the final date of the Share Exchange Agreement to July 31, 2024.   On July 31, 2024, the parties have entered into an Amendment No. 2 to the Share Exchange Agreement (“Second Amendment Agreement”), to further extend the final date of the Share Exchange Agreement, as amended, to August 15, 2024. All parties continue to progress to complete certain pre-closing and closing conditions, under the Share Exchange Agreement and the First Amendment Agreement and all transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement. Consummation of the Exchange may also be deemed as a fundamental transaction under certain outstanding derivative securities, which could result, among other things, in a mandatory cash redemption payment based on the Black-Scholes value on the outstanding instrument.    Consummation of the Exchange is subject to customary conditions, including without limitation, (i) the delivery to the Company by the Member or its designees, if any, of a representation letter attesting to its status as an “accredited investor;” (ii) the delivery to the Company by the Member or its designees, if any, a lock up agreement in the form attached to the Share Exchange Agreement; (iii) the delivery by the Company of lock up agreements, in the form attached to the Share Exchange Agreement, from certain members of the Company’s management; (iv) the delivery to the Company of the required consolidated financial statements, as specified under the Share Exchange Agreement; (v) delivery by the Company to Core Optics of an applicable notice or approval from the OTC Markets that Company’s Common Stock continue to be quoted on the OTCQB after the Closing; and (vi) delivery by the Company and Core Optics of all required consents to consummate the transaction and meet the standard closing conditions. Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement the Exchange also become subject to certain additional closing conditions, including without limitation, (i) waiver by Series A Preferred Stock Holders, (ii) cancellation or waiver of fundamental transaction cash payment terms, (iii) settlement of all accounts of the Company; and (iv) mandatory conversion or settlement of all principal amount and accrued interest on the outstanding DAF Note.   The Share Exchange Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company, Core Optics, and the Member.   The Company and the Core Optics management team are actively working toward a closing date for the merger.  Both parties are engaged in carefully proceeding fulfill all pre-closing and closing conditions.   The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends on the successful completion of the Company's referenced share exchange agreement with Core Optics, LLC and the ability of the Company, post-merger, to fund the combined entities activities and development of its planned products.   In the event that the referenced share exchange agreement does not close, then the Company intends to continue to raise additional capital through other debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis or, notwithstanding any request the Company may make, the Company’s debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Interest is accrued monthly and paid in advance for the first six months and thereafter interest only payments shall be paid quarterly.   On November 16, 2021, the Company countersigned a letter of variation (the Variation) to the credit agreement entered into on October 4, 2019, with DAF. Pursuant to the Variation, the Lender agreed to extend the repayment days for each advance made by Lender under the credit agreement until the fourth anniversary of such advance. DAF also communicated to the Company that interest only payments are due on a quarterly basis, which commenced in January of 2022.     On May 12, 2023, the Company countersigned a second letter of variation (the Second Variation) to the credit agreement entered into on October 4, 2019, with DAF. Pursuant to the Second Variation, the Lender agreed to extend the repayment days for each advance made by Lender under the credit agreement by an additional four months. The first principal payment will be due on July 15, 2024 with all other terms and conditions of the credit facility remaining unchanged.   Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, DAF has the right to elect to convert all or part of the Promissory Note at a price equal to seventy percent (70%) of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the over-the-counter quotation system on the OTC Markets during the fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the loan closing date of October 4, 2019, which calculates to $0.0329 per share.   Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, warrants to subscribe for and purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.052 per share were issued to DAF. The estimated value of the warrants granted monthly, with each advance, is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting estimated value of the warrant is used to proportionally allocate the fair value of the debt advance and the fair value of the warrants.   Additionally, under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company agreed to pay a commitment fee of 3% of each advance and reimburse DAF for certain expenses in connection with the preparation, interpretation, performance and enforcement of the Credit Agreement. Those costs are being amortized over the life of the debt. The Company amortized $1,688 and $8,674 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.   Interest payments were made to DAF of $0 and $68,359 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.   The following table sets forth the DAF principal payment schedule by year:   Year   Principal payments due   2024     476,075   2025     870,000   2026     139,542       $ 1,485,617     8.00% Related party promissory note, principal and interest due December 2025   The Company entered into a convertible promissory note on June 18, 2024 with Mr. Keen. The maturity date of the note is 18 months from the date of issuance. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the note accrues at 8% per annum, payable on maturity. The note is subject to a mandatory conversion provision if the transaction as reported in the form 8K submitted with the SEC on March 6, 2024, is successfully consummated. On closing of such transaction, the note shall automatically and mandatorily convert into common shares, and the note holder shall be issued warrants purchase up to 78,125,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.007. The Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuance.  Mr. Keen is Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

The agreement allows for holders to exchange their options for rule 144 common stock at an exchange rate of 0.6 shares per 1 option. Under the exchange agreement, 9,500,000 options have been exchanged for 5,700,000 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2024.   On October 27, 2023 the Board of Directors consented to extend the previous practice of satisfying accrued liabilities of vendors by issuing common stock from the equity incentive plans through September 1, 2024. The number of shares issued to satisfy a liability was determined by the average closing price for the fifteen (15) days prior to conversion at a discount rate of 50% to that fifteen (15) day average. The stock issuance, in lieu of cash payment, requires written approval of the Chief Executive Officer. The Company issued 903,224 and 0 shares under this consent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.   Warrants   Warrants to subscribe for and purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.052 per share were included under the terms of the DAF Credit Agreement. The warrants will be issued in amounts of 150,000 and 210,000 per month during the funding period. In the event that funding advances deviate from the planned schedule then warrants will be issued pro-rata at 1.2 warrants for every $1 of funding. Warrants granted under the terms of the DAF Credit Agreement total 2,814,000 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The estimated value of the warrants granted monthly, with each advance, is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected dividend yield is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the warrant is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience. the resulting estimated value of the warrant is used to proportionally allocate the fair value of the debt advance and the fair value of the warrants.   On March 2, 2021, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with a single institutional investor in a private placement to sell (i) 23,500,000 shares of its common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 51,500,000 shares of its common stock, and (iii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 82,500,000 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $6,000,000. The combined purchase price for one share of common stock and associated Warrant is $0.08 and for one Pre-Funded Warrant and associated Warrant is $0.0799.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of Consolidation   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Group and its wholly owned subsidiary, Coretec. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates   The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Intangibles   Intangible assets consist of purchased patents and capitalized website costs. Intangible assets are recorded at the fair value as of the date of acquisition, and intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill   Goodwill was acquired with the reverse acquisition. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill on an annual basis and if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of goodwill below its carrying amount. When assessing whether goodwill is impaired, management considers first a qualitative approach to evaluate whether it is more likely than not the fair value of the goodwill is below its carrying amount; if so, management considers a quantitative approach by analyzing changes in performance and market-based metrics as compared to those used at the time of the initial acquisition. For the periods presented, no impairment charges were recognized.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property and Equipment   Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; major improvements and betterments are capitalized.   Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows for the major classes of assets:   Asset Description   Estimated Lives (years)   Furniture and fixtures     7   Laboratory Equipment     7
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets   Long-lived assets, such as intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value of Financial Instruments   The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument held by the Company:   Current assets and current liabilities - The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these items.   Notes payable - The fair value of the Company's notes payable has been estimated by the Company based upon the liability's characteristics, including interest rates, embedded instruments and conversion discounts. The carrying value approximates fair value after taking into consideration the liability’s characteristics.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share   Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:       June 30,       2024     2023   Options     98,158,160       77,158,160   Warrants     91,314,000       120,014,000   Series A convertible preferred stock     115,000       115,000   Convertible debt     123,280,537       45,155,537   Total potentially dilutive shares     312,867,697       242,442,697
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Research and Development   Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes   The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates will be recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.   The Company’s tax benefits are fully offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty that the deferred tax assets would be realized. Management considers the likelihood of changes by taxing authorities in its filed income tax returns and recognizes a liability for or discloses potential changes that management believes are more likely than not to occur upon examination by tax authorities. Management has not identified any uncertain tax positions in filed income tax returns that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
