HEALTH DISCOVERY CORPORATION
Notes to Financial
Statements (unaudited)
Note 1 - BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
Health Discovery Corporation (the “Company”) is a machine learning
company that uses advanced mathematical techniques to analyze large
amounts of data to uncover patterns that might otherwise be
undetectable. The Company operates primarily in the field of
molecular diagnostics where such tools are critical to scientific
discovery. The terms artificial intelligence and machine learning
are sometimes used to describe pattern recognition tools. Our
mission is to use our patents and clinical partnerships principally
to identify patterns that can advance the science of medicine, as
well as to advance the effective use of our technology in other
diverse business disciplines, including the high-tech, financial,
and healthcare technology markets.
Our historical foundation lies in the molecular diagnostics field
where we have made a number of discoveries that may play a role in
developing more personalized approaches to the diagnosis and
treatment of certain diseases. However, our Support Vector Machines
(“SVM”) assets in particular have broad applicability in many other
fields. Intelligently applied, our pattern recognition technology
can be a portal between enormous amounts of otherwise
undecipherable data and truly meaningful discovery.
Our principal asset is our intellectual property, which includes
advanced mathematical algorithms called SVM, as well as biomarkers
that we discovered by applying our SVM techniques to complex
genetic and proteomic data. Biomarkers are biological indicators or
genetic expression signatures of certain disease states. Our
intellectual property is protected by 21 patents that have been
issued or are currently pending around the world.
Our business model has evolved over time to respond to business
trends that intersect with our technological expertise and our
capacity to professionally manage these opportunities. In the
beginning, we sought only to use our SVMs internally in order to
discover and license our biomarker signatures to various diagnostic
and pharmaceutical companies. Today, our commercialization efforts
include: utilization of our discoveries and knowledge to help
develop diagnostic and prognostic predictive tests; licensing of
the SVM technologies directly to diagnostic companies; and, the
potential formation of new ventures with domain experts in other
fields where our pattern recognition technology holds commercial
promise.
The accompanying interim financial statements included in this
report are unaudited but reflect all adjustments which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and results of operations for the interim
periods presented for the Company. All such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. The accounting principles followed by the
Company and the methods of applying these principles conform with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAP”). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
the results of a full year’s operations and should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in
the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2020.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company has prepared its financial statements on a “going
concern” basis, which presumes that it will be able to realize its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of
business for the foreseeable future.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon our licensing arrangements with third parties, achieving
profitable operations, obtaining additional financing, successfully
bringing the Company’s technologies to the market and successfully
pursuing infringement opportunities. The outcome of these
matters cannot be predicted at this time. The Company’s
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
and do not include any adjustments to the amounts and
classifications of the assets and liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.
If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for the
Company’s financial statements then adjustments would be necessary
in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported
expenses and the balance sheet classifications used. Such
adjustments may be material.
At June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $485,000
in cash on hand, respectively. As a result, the Company estimates
cash will be depleted in less than one year from the date that
these financial statements are available to be issued, if the
Company does not generate sufficient cash to support
operations.
The Company’s plan to have sufficient cash involves licensing the
Company patents, pursuing infringement opportunities and obtaining
additional equity or debt financing. While the Company believes
these efforts may increase the value of the Company, there is no
guarantee that the Company will be successful in these efforts. We
estimate cash will be depleted by the first quarter of 2022 unless
we are able to increase revenues or raise additional capital.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the
coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak a pandemic and the President of
the United States declared it a national emergency. The COVID-19
pandemic remains a rapidly evolving situation. The extent of the
impact of COVID-19 on our business and financial results will
depend on future developments, including the duration and speed of
the outbreak within the markets in which we operate, government
actions and programs, and the related impact on consumer confidence
and spending, all of which are highly uncertain.
Estimates and assumptions
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ significantly from those estimates due to
risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current
economic environment due to the outbreak of a novel strain of
COVID-19.
Segments
In making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing
performance, our chief executive officer and president view our
operations and manages our business as one operating segment.
Note 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Patents
Initial costs paid to purchase patents are capitalized and
amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining life of
the patent, generally 17 years, beginning on the date the patent is
issued. Annual patent maintenance costs and annual license and
renewal registration fees are expensed as period costs. If the
applied for patents are abandoned or are not issued, the Company
will expense the costs capitalized to date in the period of
abandonment or earlier if abandonment appears probable. The
carrying value of patents is reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020 there
was no
amortization charged to operations and there were no
impairments to the Company’s patent assets, which are fully
amortized.
Common
Stock Warrants Liability
The Company has, from time to time beginning in 2014, issued
convertible preferred stock, preferred stock warrants, common
stock, common stock warrants, and fully vested options to purchase
shares of common stock in excess of its available shares of
underlying stock to be issued.
In the event the number of shares or warrants of common stock
granted exceeds the number of shares available if the holders
exercised all of the previously issued outstanding options and
warrants, the Company accounts for this excess as a derivative
which is recorded as a common stock warrants
liability, which is
adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. If and
when the Company authorizes sufficient shares of common stock and
preferred stock, the common stock warrants liability is
reclassified to equity at the fair value of the liability at the
date of reclassification. The Company accounts for
the reclassification from equity to liability (or vice
versa) similar to a modification of a share-based payment
award.
See further discussion in Note 6 –Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit)
and Note 7– Common Stock Warrants Liability.
Stock-based
Compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on
the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the
requisite service period using the straight-line method.
Valuation and Amortization Method – The fair value of
stock awards that do not contain a market condition target are
estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. The fair value of options that contain a market condition,
such as a specified hurdle price, is estimated on the grant date
using a probability weighted fair value model similar to a lattice
valuation model. Both the Black-Scholes and the probability
weighted valuation models require assumptions and estimates of
expected volatility, expected life, expected dividend yield and
expected risk-free interest rates.
Expected Term – The expected term of the award
represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are
expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical
experience, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the
stock-based awards, vesting schedules, and forfeitures due to
departure prior to the end of the vesting schedule.
Expected Volatility – Volatility is a measure of the
amounts by which a financial variable such as stock price has
fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate
(expected volatility) during a period. The Company uses the
historical volatility, employing a prior period equivalent to the
expected term to estimate expected volatility
Risk-Free Interest Rate – The Company bases the
risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method
on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury
zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equivalent to the expected
term of a stock award.
Cash
Cash includes cash deposited with financial institutions.
Periodically, we maintain deposits in financial institutions in
excess of government-insured limits. We believe we are not exposed
to significant credit risk and to date, we have not realized any
losses on these deposits.
Note 3 – NET (LOSS) INCOME PER
SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income or
loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is
computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common
stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares
outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.
Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options,
convertible promissory notes payable, convertible preferred stock,
and warrants.
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share was as
follows:

The dilutive effect of 6,108,502 and
105,869,976 options and
warrants were also excluded from diluted weighted average shares
during the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020,
respectively, and 9,951,284 and 22,843,491 options and
warrants were excluded from diluted weighted average shares during
the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively, because
the strike or conversion price was below the average share price
during the related period.
Note 4 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
AND OTHER EQUITY BASED PAYMENTS
As of June 30, 2021, there was no unrecognized
cost related to stock option grants because the outstanding option
awards either completed their vesting schedule or the option awards
immediately vested. As the market closing price was $0.0650 on
June 30, 2021, there was $7.3
million aggregate intrinsic value of all options and warrants
outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2021.
In connection with their election to the Company’s Board of
Directors at the Shareholder Meeting and in recognition of their
continuing contributions to the Company without cash compensation,
on June 29, 2021, the Company granted to Mr. William Fromholzer,
Ms. Colleen Hutchinson, Mr. Ed Morrison, and Mr. James Murphy each
an option to purchase 3,000,000
shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, the Company
granted to Dr. Hong Zhang an option to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock and the Company granted to Mr. George
McGovern and Mr. Marty Delmonte each an option to purchase
3,000,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock. These option grants are consistent with
what has been granted to other board members and management of the
Company. The options immediately vest, have an exercise price of
$0.065 and expire on
June 29, 2031. The
exercise price is based upon the closing price of the Company’s
common stock on the date of the option grant. The fair value of
each option granted is $0.0595 and was
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing
model with the following assumptions: dividend yield at 0%, risk-free interest rate
of 0.37%, an expected life of
5 years, and volatility of 154%. The aggregate computed
value of these options of $1,368,500 was charged as a non-cash
expense during the second quarter of 2021.
Stock-based compensation expense recorded in the financial
statements was approximately $1.4 million
and $268,000 for
both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020,
respectively.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had 86,875,000 and 63,875,000 options outstanding,
respectively, with exercise prices ranging from $0.003 to
$0.070. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company
had 115,650,448 and 115,983,781 warrants
outstanding, respectively, with exercise prices ranging from
$0.005 to

Note 5 – PATENTS
The Company’s principal asset is its intellectual property, which
includes advanced mathematical algorithms called Support Vector
Machines (“SVM”), as well as biomarkers that we discovered by
applying its SVM techniques to complex genetic and proteomic data.
Biomarkers are biological indicators or genetic expression
signatures of certain disease states. The Company’s intellectual
property is protected by 21 patents that have been issued
or are currently pending around the world. The patents have
expirations ranging from 2022 to 2033. Initial costs
paid to purchase patents are capitalized and amortized using the
straight-line method over the remaining life of the patent.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020 there
was no amortization charged to operations as the patents are fully
amortized. Annual patent maintenance costs and annual license and
renewal registration fees are expensed as period costs.
Note 6 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
(DEFICIT)
Authorized capital
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s authorized
capital consisted of 900,000,000 shares of common stock and
90,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
Series B Preferred Stock
The Company sold to individual investors a total of 19,402,675
shares of Series B preferred shares for $1,490,015, net of
associated expenses, in 2009. The Series B preferred shares were
converted into common stock of the Company in the fourth quarter of
2014, which was the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance as
outlined in the original purchase agreement. There are currently no
Series B preferred shares outstanding.
Dividends were accrued for the Series B preferred stock in the
amount of $373,346 as of December 31, 2014. The Company gave the
Series B holders the choice of either (1) common stock for the
amount of the dividend accrued based upon the price of $0.05 per
share or (2) to defer payment of the dividend in cash until the
Company is able to pay, at the sole discretion of the Company.
During the first quarter of 2015, $166,709 in dividends were paid
with the issuance of 3,334,179 shares of common stock. The
remaining accrued dividend of $206,637 is reflected as
current liability as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.
Series C Preferred Stock
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Board of Directors authorized
the issuance of Series C preferred shares in private placement
transactions. As of December 31, 2014, and 2015, the Company had
issued a total of 6,640,000 and 30,000,000 preferred shares,
respectively. The Series C preferred shares were fully subscribed
in the third quarter 2015. The Company received total net proceeds
of $900,000, of which $568,000 was received during the year ended
December 31, 2015. The Series C preferred shares were accompanied
by $0.03 warrants and $0.03 contingency warrants. The contingency
warrants were to be issued only if the Company had not attained
profitability by the end of the first quarter 2016. Because the
Company did not attain profitability by the end of first quarter
2016, the contingency warrants were issued. The warrant holders
must exercise fifty percent of the warrants if the market price for
the Company’s common stock is $0.20 for a period of thirty
consecutive calendar days. The holders must also exercise fifty
percent of the warrants if the market price for the Company’s
common stock is $0.30 for a period of thirty consecutive calendar
days. The warrants were valued at $0.022 each using the Black
Scholes Method.
The Series C preferred stock were to be converted into common stock
of the Company at the option of the holder, without the payment of
additional consideration by the holder. The shares of Series C
preferred stock must be converted into common stock of the Company
either by the demand by the shareholder or at the fifth anniversary
of the date of issuance. During the first quarter of 2019, the
Series C preferred stock was converted to common stock. There are
currently no Series C preferred shares outstanding.
Series D Preferred Stock
In February 2020, the Company effected the conversion of its
$200,000
outstanding promissory note, plus accrued interest of $16,688, into shares of its
Series D preferred stock. The note holders retain their
outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 41,983,781 shares of the
Company’s common stock at a weighted average price of $0.0103. Each warrant expires
on July 31, 2029.
The Company’s Series D preferred stock has the following
rights and preferences:
Dividend rights: The holders of Series D preferred
stock shares pari passu with the holders of common stock in
dividends payable to shareholders.
Voting rights: Each share of Series D preferred stock
is entitled to vote on all matters submitted to shareholder vote
and each share has a number of votes equal to ten votes for each
share of common stock into which it is then convertible.
Conversion rights: Each share of Series D preferred
stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a
1:1 ratio at the option of the holder or on the ten-year
anniversary of issuance, whichever occurs first.
Liquidation rights: In the event of voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the
Series D holders receive distribution on a pari passu
basis with the holders of other preferred shareholders after
payment of the preferred stock dividends payable to the
Series B preferred shareholders and before any payments to
common shareholders.
Common Stock
On June 9, 2021, the Company issued 333,333 shares of its common stock
pursuant to a warrant exercise. The warrant had a strike price of
$0.03 per share.
In June 2020, the Chairman of the Board and the Company entered
into an agreed upon settlement whereby accrued wages of $212,500
were immediately converted into 15,398,551
shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of
$0.0138.
All of these issuances of equity securities were made in reliance
upon exemptions from registration pursuant to
Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had 86,875,000 and 63,875,000 options outstanding
with exercise prices ranging from $0.003 to
$0.070, as well as 115,650,448 and 115,983,781 warrants
outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $0.005 to
$0.075, respectively.
Note 7 –
COMMON
STOCK WARRANTS LIABILITY
The common stock warrants liability is recorded based upon the
vested number of warrants or other equity-linked instruments
outstanding which exceed the number of authorized shares available
to meet the assumed exercise or conversion of such instruments at
each reporting period.
The common stock warrants liability is recorded based upon the
number of warrants which exceed the number of common shares
available to meet the exercised options and warrants using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded
other income of $2.2 million related to the change in common stock
warrants liability. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, the
Company recorded other income of $992,000 related to the reduction
of the common stock warrants liability.
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the common stock warrants
liability was zero as the Company reclassified the common stock
warrants liability to equity, as our shareholders approved the
necessary increase in authorized share capital at our annual
shareholder meeting held in May 2020. The Company now has adequate
authorized shares available to meet the assumed exercise or
conversion of its issued options, warrants, convertible debt and
convertible preferred stock.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s
common stock warrants liability for the six months ended June 30,
2020 (in thousands):

Note 8 – CONVERTIBLE
DEBT
In April 2019, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in
the amount of $200,000 to Mr. George McGovern, the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Mr. James Dengler, a
Company shareholder (the “Note Holders”) for funds advanced to the
Company. The promissory note was approved by the Company’s
board of directors in 2018, for funds advanced to the Company from
August 2018 through March 2019 and the promissory note was executed
in April 2019 by the Company. This promissory note contained an 8%
annual interest rate, and the Note Holders had the right to
convert the principal and unpaid accrued interest of the promissory
note (the “2019 Convertible Promissory Note”) into shares of the
Company’s Series D convertible preferred stock at a conversion
price based upon the price of the Company’s common stock on the
date of advancement of the loan amount (the “Conversion Price”).
Because the loan proceeds were advanced on multiple dates, the
Conversion Price varies depending upon the price of the Company’s
common stock on the date of advancement of the loan amount. The
right of conversion (optional) was solely at the Note Holders’
discretion.
On December 31, 2019, the Note Holders notified the Company of
their election to convert the 2019 Convertible Promissory Note into
shares of the Company’s Series D convertible preferred stock. As a
result, the Note Holders received 20,991,891 shares of
the Company’s Series D convertible preferred stock in February
2020.
In June 2020, $212,000 in
accrued wages was converted into a convertible promissory note in
the same amount with our chief executive officer. The promissory
note and accrued interest are convertible into common stock of the
Company at a conversion price of $0.0138. The conversion price
is based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on
June 1, 2020. The promissory note bears interest at an annual rate
of 8%.
Note 9 – FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENT
The carrying values of our prepaid expenses and accounts payable
approximate their recorded values due to the short-term nature of
these instruments.
The common stock warrants liability is recorded based on the number
of warrants which exceed the number of common shares available to
meet the exercised options and warrants using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The Company has determined that the common
stock warrants liability is a Level 3 measurement within the fair
value hierarchy. See further discussion of the Common Stock
Warrants Liability in Note 7 – Common Stock Warrants Liability.
On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted the provisions of
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, “Fair Value
Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the
Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The new
standard modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value
measurements in Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” Certain
requirements were removed such as the amount of and reasons for
transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy,
certain requirements were modified and certain disclosures were
added such as the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the
period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3
fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period.
The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
Note 10 – COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases
The Company does not own any real property. The Company
leases approximately 300 square feet of office space in Atlanta,
Georgia, pursuant to a short-term lease as of January 2021. The
Company currently pays base rent in the amount of $636 per
month.
Legal Proceedings
Intel Matter
As previously disclosed, the USPTO had declared an Interference
between the Company’s Support Vector Machine – Recursive Feature
Elimination (“SVM-RFE”) patent application and Intel Corporation’s
(“Intel”) Patent No. 7,685,077, entitled “Recursive Feature
Eliminating Method based on a Support Vector
Machine”. On February 27, 2019, the USPTO ruled in
favor of the Company on the SVM-RFE patent application. The Patent
Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the USPTO issued its decision,
finding that HDC is entitled to claim exclusive ownership rights to
the SVM-RFE technology as set forth in the SVM-RFE patent
application that was filed to provoke the Interference. The
decision ordered Intel Corporation’s Patent No. 7,685,077 to
be cancelled.
In September 2019, the USPTO issued U.S. Patent
No. 10,402,685 (“SVM-RFE Patent”) for the Company’s patent
application covering SVM-RFE. The Company is the sole owner
of all patents related to SVM-RFE. As a result of the issuance of
the SVM-RFE Patent, the Company now has the right to exclude others
from developing, commercializing, or licensing this patented
technology without the uncertainty of the Interference or concerns
over the ownership of the SVM-RFE patents. Furthermore, the USPTO
granted a Patent Term Adjustment (“PTA”) to the SVM-RFE Patent. The
PTA is 1,785 days (almost 5 years), which is added to the normal
20-year-from-filing patent term. The USPTO granted this adjustment
to offset delays that occurred within the USPTO during the
examination process and interference proceedings. This
means the SVM-RFE Patent term has been extended from August 7,
2020, to June 7, 2025.
On July 23, 2020, the Company filed a patent infringement
lawsuit (“Infringement Lawsuit”) against Intel pertaining to the
Company’s SVM-RFE technology. The lawsuit was filed in the United
States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco
Division (the “Court”). Subsequently, on October 19, 2020, Intel
filed a motion to dismiss with the Court. On November 23, 2020, the
Company filed a response in opposition of Intel’s motion to
dismiss.
On December 21, 2020, the Court approved a scheduling order
(“Scheduling Order”) for the Infringement Lawsuit. One of the items
in the Scheduling Order was the Markman Hearing which was
scheduled for June 3, 2021.
A Markman Hearing is a pretrial hearing in
a United States District Court during which
a judge examines evidence from all parties on the
appropriate meanings of relevant key words used in a patent
claim. Prior to the Markman Hearing both parties submit
Markman briefs, in which they explain their positions on the
relevant key words. In the Western District of Texas, both parties
file two briefs, with the Plaintiff (here, the Company) filing the
Opening Brief.
Once briefing concluded on May 18, 2021, HDC and Intel submitted a
Joint Claim Construction Statement to the Court. Within that Joint
Claim Construction Statement, the parties identified several claim
terms (i.e., key words) that were still in dispute. During the
Markman Hearing on June 3, 2021, the Court considered
arguments related to these disputed claim terms. Ultimately, the
Court ruled in HDC’s favor on all the disputed claim terms and
issued the Claim Construction Order. During the Markman
Hearing, the Court also spoke regarding Intel’s pending motion to
dismiss. The Court will review and determine if a hearing is needed
on that motion or if it will rule on the previously filed
pleadings. Per the Scheduling Order, the next step is fact
discovery, which began June 4, 2021.
On February 27, 2021, Intel filed a Petition for Inter
Partes Review (“IPR”) of the Company’s SVM-RFE with the PTAB of
the USPTO. The Company has responded to the IPR and the matter
remains pending.
Legal fees for this matter were $116,000 and $0 for the three months ended June 30,
2021, and 2020, respectively, and $205,000 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2021,
and 2020, respectively.
Quirk and Bear Matter
On February 7, 2020, two shareholders of the Company, William
F. Quirk, Jr. (“Quirk”) and Cindy Bear (“Bear”), filed a
complaint and motion for a temporary restraining order and
preliminary injunction in DeKalb County Superior Court. Among the
items in the motion, Quirk and Bear requested to have a special
meeting of the shareholders and Quirk and Bear alleged misconduct
by the Company and its directors. At the time of the Quirk and Bear
complaint, the Company had stated its intent to schedule a
shareholder meeting no later than June 30, 2020, and in fact did
hold the shareholder meeting on May 27, 2020.
On March 2, 2020, Quirk and Bear filed a notice of dismissal in
DeKalb County. Quirk and Bear subsequently filed a new lawsuit in
Fulton County Superior Court based on substantially similar
allegations and seeking similar relief. On March 4, 2020, the
Fulton County court ordered a hearing on the emergency motion for a
temporary restraining order against the Company for the following
day.
At the hearing on March 5, 2020, Quirk and Bear presented their
version of the facts through affidavits submitted by both Quirk and
Bear, arguing that the affidavits supported the emergency relief
they sought. The judge denied the motion and did not enter a
temporary restraining order. The court set an evidentiary hearing
on Quirk and Bear’s motion for a preliminary injunction for March
27, 2020. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and multiple requests by
Quirk and Bear, the scheduling of the hearing was cancelled. Quirk
and Bear did not attempt to reschedule it.
On September 2, 2020, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint on
the grounds that Quirk and Bear lacked standing and failed to state
claims for relief. Facing the Company’s motion to dismiss, on
September 23, 2020, Quirk voluntarily dismissed his claims against
the Company. Because this was the second dismissal of these claims,
that dismissal was with prejudice and constitutes an adjudication
of the merits under O.C.G.A. § 9-11-41(a)(3).
Bear remained a plaintiff in the case. Due to Bear’s refusal to
participate in discovery and repeated violations of the Court’s
orders, the Company filed a Motion for Involuntary Dismissal of
Plaintiff’s Complaint with Prejudice and Incorporated Memorandum of
Law on March 2, 2021. Among the request in the motion, the Company
asked the Court to award attorney’s fees and costs against Bear as
a result of abusive litigation.
Subsequently, the Court held a hearing regarding the Company’s
motion on March 25, 2021. At that hearing, the Court ordered Bear
to appear for her deposition to be taken remotely on March 31,
2021, and April 1, 2021. The Court warned Bear that her failure to
appear at these depositions or to participate fully in them would
result in the dismissal of the case with prejudice. Bear did not
appear for the March 31, 2021, deposition.
As a result, on April 6, 2021, the Court issued an Order Granting
Motion for Involuntary Dismissal of Plaintiff’s Complaint with
Prejudice and Final Order and Judgment (the “Ruling”) against Bear.
Among other findings in the Ruling, the Court found that Bear
knowingly and willfully failed to participate in discovery and
violated the Court’s orders. Consequently, the Court entered final
judgment against Bear and in favor of the Company on all counts. In
light of the Court’s ruling, the Company intends to seek
reimbursement of its attorneys’ fees and costs against Bear for
bringing the action. Legal fees for this matter were $0 and $32,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and $43,000 and $184,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2021, and 2020, respectively.
Vennwest Matter
On September 24, 2020, the Company accepted service of a lawsuit
filed by Vennwest Global Technologies, Inc. (“Vennwest”), a company
owned by shareholder Laurie Venning (“Venning”) from Alberta,
Canada.
The Vennwest lawsuit contains virtually identical claims against
HDC that Quirk and Bear alleged. For this reason, the Company
believes Venning, Quirk, Bear and others coordinated their
irresponsible and costly attacks against the Company, its
directors, and others. As Quirk’s dismissal and the Bear judgment
reflects, the Company believes these claims are without merit and
serve only to deplete the Company’s resources to the detriment of
its shareholders.
On November 2, 2020, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint or
stay the action pending the conclusion of the Quirk and Bear case,
on the grounds that the first-filed derivative case would serve as
res judicata to preclude the later-filed case. On November 30,
2020, Vennwest filed its response, and on December 15, 2020, the
Company filed its reply. On June 8, 2021, the judge ruled to allow
the case to proceed, and the parties are now in discovery phase of
the case. The Company will vigorously defend itself against these
claims and evaluate all options against the plaintiffs including,
but not limited to, pursuing counterclaims.
Although the Company believes that it will ultimately be successful
in its defense, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in its defense. Should Vennwest be successful, the
outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Legal
fees for this matter were $0 for both three months ended June
30, 2021, and 2020, and $20,000 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2021,
and 2020, respectively.
Note 11 – SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring through the
date that the financial statements were available to be issued, for
events requiring recording or disclosure in the June 30, 2021,
financial statements. Other than disclosed earlier in these
financial statements, there were no material events or transactions
occurring during this period requiring recognition or
disclosure.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Forward-Looking Statements
This Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 12E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including
or related to our future results, certain projections and business
trends. Assumptions relating to forward-looking statements involve
judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic,
competitive and market conditions and future business decisions,
all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and
many of which are beyond our control. When used in this Report, the
words “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “expect” and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Although we believe that assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions
could prove inaccurate, and we may not realize the results
contemplated by the forward-looking statement. Management decisions
are subjective in many respects and susceptible to interpretations
and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business
developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our
business strategy or capital expenditure plans that may, in turn,
affect our results of operations. In light of the significant
uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included
in this Report, you should not regard the inclusion of such
information as our representation that we will achieve any
strategy, objective or other plans. The forward-looking statements
contained in this Report speak only as of the date of this Report
as stated on the front cover, and we have no obligation to update
publicly or revise any of these forward-looking statements. These
and other statements which are not historical facts are based
largely on management’s current expectations and assumptions and
are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such
forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include,
among others, the failure to successfully develop a profitable
business, delays in identifying customers, and the inability to
retain a significant number of customers, as well as the risks and
uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” section to our Annual
Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
Objective
The objective of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is to
provide users of our financial statements with the following:
|
· |
A
narrative explanation from the perspective of management of our
financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity
and certain other factors that may affect future
results; |
|
· |
Useful context to the financial
statements; and |
|
· |
Information that allows
assessment of the likelihood that past performance is indicative of
future performance. |
Our MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read
together with, our unaudited financial statements for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, included in
Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and our audited
financial statements included in Part II, Item 7 of our
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Overview
Health Discovery Corporation (the “Company”) is a pattern
recognition company that uses advanced mathematical techniques to
analyze large amounts of data to uncover patterns that might
otherwise be undetectable. We operate primarily in the field of
molecular diagnostics where such tools are critical to scientific
discovery. The terms artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine
learning are sometimes used to describe pattern recognition
tools.
Our principal asset is our intellectual property, which includes
advanced mathematical algorithms called Support Vector Machines
(“SVM”), as well as biomarkers that we discovered by applying our
SVM techniques to complex genetic and proteomic data. Biomarkers
are biological indicators or genetic expression signatures of
certain disease states. Our intellectual property is protected by
21 patents that have been issued or are currently pending around
the world. While our historical foundation lies in the molecular
diagnostics field, where we have made a number of discoveries that
play a role in developing more personalized approaches to the
diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases, our SVM assets in
particular have broad applicability in many other fields.
Intelligently applied, our pattern recognition technology can be a
portal between enormous amounts of otherwise undecipherable data
and truly meaningful discovery.
Our business model has evolved over time to respond to business
trends that intersect with our technological expertise and our
capacity to professionally manage these opportunities. Today, our
commercialization efforts include utilization of our discoveries
and knowledge to help develop diagnostic and prognostic predictive
tests; licensing of the SVM technologies directly to diagnostic
companies; and the potential formation of new ventures with domain
experts in other fields where our pattern recognition technology
holds commercial promise.
The Company markets its technology and related developmental
expertise to prospects in the healthcare, biotech, and life
sciences industries. Given the scope of some of these prospects,
the sales cycle can be quite long, but management believes that
these marketing efforts may produce favorable results in the
future.
Intellectual Property Developments and Patent Defense
Matters
As previously disclosed in our 2020 Form 10-K, the United
States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) has issued a Notice of
Allowance of Patent Application Number 14/754,434 covering the
four-gene prostate cancer test developed using the Company’s
proprietary SVM-RFE technology. The allowed claims cover a method
for screening for and treating prostate cancer by measuring
expression levels of the four genes within a patient sample
compared to one or more reference genes and generating a prediction
score based on the averaged relative expression levels. This Notice
of Allowance is important after encountering the significant
barriers to patenting of biomarkers that had been raised by the
U.S. Supreme Court’s controversial decisions in Mayo
Collaborative Services v. Prometheus
Laboratories and Association for Molecular
Pathology v. Myriad Genetics. This Biomarker Patent
complements the Company’s already issued European Patent that
covers similar claims.
We believe that this patent demonstrates the ability of the
Company’s proprietary technology in the discovery and validation of
biomarkers for diseases. We believe this same method can be applied
to numerous different diseases and will explore opportunities with
partners to deploy these same methods using our proprietary
technology in biomarker discovery.
We hold the exclusive rights to 20 issued U.S. patents covering
uses of SVM technology for discovery of knowledge from large data
sets. The Company also has 1 pending U.S. patent application
covering uses of the SVM technology as well as diagnostic methods
that have been discovered using the SVM technology.
Intel Matter
As previously disclosed, the USPTO had declared an Interference
between the Company’s Support Vector Machine – Recursive Feature
Elimination (“SVM-RFE”) patent application and Intel Corporation’s
(“Intel”) Patent No. 7,685,077, entitled “Recursive Feature
Eliminating Method based on a Support Vector Machine”. On
February 27, 2019, the USPTO ruled in favor of the Company on
the SVM-RFE patent application. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board
(“PTAB”) of the USPTO issued its decision, finding that HDC is
entitled to claim exclusive ownership rights to the SVM-RFE
technology as set forth in the SVM-RFE patent application that was
filed to provoke the Interference. The decision ordered Intel
Corporation’s Patent No. 7,685,077 to be cancelled.
In September 2019, the USPTO issued U.S. Patent
No. 10,402,685 (“SVM-RFE Patent”) for the Company’s patent
application covering SVM-RFE. The Company is the sole owner
of all patents related to SVM-RFE. As a result of the issuance of
the SVM-RFE Patent, the Company now has the right to exclude others
from developing, commercializing, or licensing this patented
technology without the uncertainty of the Interference or concerns
over the ownership of the SVM-RFE patents. Furthermore, the USPTO
granted a Patent Term Adjustment (“PTA”) to the SVM-RFE Patent. The
PTA is 1,785 days (almost 5 years), which is added to the normal
20-year-from-filing patent term. The USPTO granted this adjustment
to offset delays that occurred within the USPTO during the
examination process and interference proceedings. This
means the SVM-RFE Patent term has been extended from August 7,
2020, to June 7, 2025.
On July 23, 2020, the Company filed a patent infringement
lawsuit (“Infringement Lawsuit”) against Intel pertaining to the
Company’s SVM-RFE technology. The lawsuit was filed in the United
States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco
Division (the “Court”). Subsequently, on October 19, 2020, Intel
filed a motion to dismiss with the Court. On November 23, 2020, the
Company filed a response in opposition of Intel’s motion to
dismiss.
On December 21, 2020, the Court approved a scheduling order
(“Scheduling Order”) for the Infringement Lawsuit. One of the items
in the Scheduling Order was the Markman Hearing which was
scheduled for June 3, 2021. A Markman Hearing is a
pretrial hearing in a United States District Court during
which a judge examines evidence from all parties on the
appropriate meanings of relevant key words used in a patent
claim. Prior to the Markman Hearing both parties submit
Markman briefs, in which they explain their positions on the
relevant key words. In the Western District of Texas, both parties
file two briefs, with the Plaintiff (here, the Company) filing the
Opening Brief.
Once briefing concluded on May 18, 2021, HDC and Intel submitted a
Joint Claim Construction Statement to the Court. Within that Joint
Claim Construction Statement, the parties identified several claim
terms (i.e., key words) that were still in dispute. During the
Markman Hearing on June 3, 2021, the Court considered
arguments related to these disputed claim terms. Ultimately, the
Court ruled in HDC’s favor on all the disputed claim terms and
issued the Claim Construction Order. During the Markman
Hearing, the Court also spoke regarding Intel’s pending motion to
dismiss. The Court will review and determine if a hearing is needed
on that motion or if it will rule on the previously filed
pleadings. Per the Scheduling Order, the next step is fact
discovery, which began June 4, 2021.
On February 27, 2021, Intel filed a Petition for Inter
Partes Review (“IPR”) of the Company’s SVM-RFE with the PTAB of
the USPTO. The Company has responded to the IPR and the matter
remains pending.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World
Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 to be a
pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is having widespread, rapidly
evolving and unpredictable impacts on global society, economies,
financial markets and business practices. Federal and state
governments have implemented measures in an effort to contain the
virus, including social distancing, travel restrictions, border
closures, limitations on public gatherings, work from home, and
closure of non-essential businesses. The COVID-19 pandemic has
impacted and may continue to impact our business operations,
including our employees, customers, and communities, and there is
substantial uncertainty in the nature and degree of its continued
effects over time.
The intense focus on COVID-19
has also led to the suspension of clinical trials and research projects relating
to other conditions, which may impact our ability to form new
contractual arrangements to exploit our technology. While the
potential economic impact brought by and the duration of the
pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, it has already
caused, and is likely to result in further, significant disruption
of global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access
capital either at all or on favorable terms. In addition, a
recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event
resulting from the spread of the coronavirus could materially and
adversely affect our business and the value of our common
stock.
The extent to which the
COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business going forward will depend on
numerous evolving factors which we cannot reasonably predict,
including the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental,
business and individuals’ actions in response to the pandemic; and
the impact on economic activity including the possibility of
recession or financial market instability. These factors may
materially and adversely affect our business and financial
condition.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021, Compared with Three
and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,
was zero compared with $1,000 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2020.
Operating and Other Expenses
Professional and consulting fees were $14,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $167,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2020, and $78,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2021, compared with $192,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2020. The decrease was driven by lower accounting fees in both
the three-and six-month periods of 2021.
Legal fees were $116,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2021, compared to $33,000 during the same period in 2020. The
increase was driven by legal fees related to the Intel Matter.
Legal fees were $301,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021,
compared with $185,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, due
to higher expenses related to the Intel Matter, Quirk and Bear
Matter, and Vennwest Matter. See further discussion of legal
matters in Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies.
Compensation consists of expenses related to officer
salaries and were $114,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2021, which was lower compared to $130,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2020. Compensation expense was $216,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $236,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2020. The lower compensation was related to reduced
officer compensation.
Other general and administrative expenses increased to $1.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to
$444,000 for the same period in 2020, due to a $1.1 million
increase in stock-based compensation to directors and employees in
the current year period, partially offset by lower rent in the
current period. The lower rent was a result of the Company
negotiating a new lease in the same location during the first
quarter of 2021. Other general and administrative expenses
increased to $1,453,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021,
compared to $485,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to
higher stock-based compensation.
Loss from Operations for the three months ended June 30,
2021, was $1.7 million, compared to $773,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2020, related to the increases in expenses discussed
above. Loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021,
was $2.0 million compared to $1.1 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2020, due to increased operating expenses as discussed
above.
Other income and expense decreased to $4,000 and $8,000 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, related to interest
expense on its promissory note. We recorded a decrease in the
common stock warrants liability of $2.2 million and a decrease of
$992,000 during the three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 2020, respectively, related to the fair value liability because
we issued warrants exceeding the number of common shares available
if the holders exercised the previously issued outstanding options
and warrants. As our shareholders approved the increase in
authorized share capital at our 2020 annual shareholder meeting
held in May 2020, we reclassified the common stock warrants
liability to equity as of June 30, 2020. See further discussion in
Note 7 – Common Stock Warrants Liability.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was $1.7
million compared to $1.4 million net income for the three months
ended June 30, 2020. Net loss for the six months ended June 30,
2021, was $2.1 million compared to $105,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2020.
Diluted loss per share was $0.004 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2021, compared to diluted earnings per share of
$0.004 per share in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.
Diluted loss per share was $0.005 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2021, compared to diluted loss per share of $0.000 in the
six months ended June 30, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
We have relied primarily on equity and debt financing for
liquidity, and most recently, proceeds from intellectual property
litigation or arbitration. The Company produced sales, licensing,
and developmental revenue starting in late 2005 and must increase
revenues in order to generate sufficient cash to continue
operations. Our plan to have sufficient cash to support operations
is comprised of:
|
· |
generating revenue through licensing our patent
portfolio; |
|
· |
providing services related to those
patents; |
|
· |
protecting our proprietary technology against
infringers; and |
|
· |
obtaining additional equity or debt
financing. |
We are pursuing licensing activity and collaborations to increase
revenue. Additionally, we are evaluating options to secure funding
for infringement activities to protect our proprietary technology
or other forms of fund-raising either in the debt or equity
markets. None of these options are definitive and there is no
guarantee we will be successful in these fund-raising efforts.
In addition, while the potential
economic impact brought by and the duration of the COVID-19
pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, it has already
caused, and is likely to result in further, significant disruption
of global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access
capital either at all or on favorable terms. At June 30,
2021, we had $485,000 in cash and total current liabilities of
$803,000. We estimate cash will be depleted by the first quarter of
2022 unless we are able to increase revenues or raise additional
capital.
Short-term borrowings
Our principal commitments consist of our obligations under our
operating lease which is short-term in nature. In addition, in June
2020, we settled accrued wages in the amount of $212,000 through
the issuance of a convertible promissory note in the same amount
with our chief executive officer. The note bears interest at an 8%
annual interest rate and is convertible at the option of the holder
into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of 0.0138
shares of common stock. See further discussion in Note 8 –
Convertible Debt.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that provide
financing, liquidity, market or credit risk support or involve
leasing, hedging or research and development services for our
business or other similar arrangements that may expose us to
liability that is not expressly reflected in the financial
statements.

Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation
Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer, who is also serving as our Principal Executive
Officer and our President who is also serving as our Principal
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and President concluded that, as of the
Evaluation Date, because of the Company’s internal control
weakness, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls
and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management
including our Chief Executive Officer and President, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover
every situation involving the failure of persons within the Company
to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth
in the Company’s periodic reports.
The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. As of the Evaluation Date, no changes in the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred that
have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K contains information regarding
a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2020. The Company lacked adequate
segregation of duties which led to situations where an individual
had access to both initiate and approve transactions with no
additional formal review process. This also led to inadequate
review of reconciliations.
In light of the conclusion that our internal disclosure controls
were ineffective, as of June 30, 2021, we have applied procedures
and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our
financial reporting in regard to this quarterly report. These
include the fact that the Company’s board of directors reviews the
results of the Company quarterly and provides oversight concerning
its results and that the Company has hired an independent
consultant which provides the Company an additional layer of review
and oversight as well as subject matter expertise regarding its
external reporting and technical accounting matters. Accordingly,
the Company believes, based on its knowledge, that: (i) this
quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
this report; and (ii) the financial statements, and other
financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly
present in all material respects our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in
this quarterly report.

Legal Proceedings |
See discussion of legal proceedings under Note 10 – Commitments and
Contingencies to the Notes to financial statements.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you
should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in
Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which
could materially affect our business, financial condition or future
results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem
to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition and/or operating results.
