PRoSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

Global WholeHealth Partners Corporation, and its subsidiaries, (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Global”) was founded to develop, manufacture and market in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) tests for over-the-counter (“OTC” or consumer), or consumer-use and point-of-care (“POC” or professional) which includes hospitals, physicians’ offices and medical clinics, including those within penal systems throughout the US and abroad. The Company currently manufactures and markets a range of diagnostic test kits for consumer use through OTC sales, and for use by health care professionals, generally located at medical clinics, physician offices and hospitals, known as POC, in the United States. These test kits are known as in vitro diagnostic test kits or “IVD” products.

 

The Company believes, according to publicly available sources, that the IVD industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry that is increasing each year. This assessment includes all laboratory hospital-based products, OTC devices, and rapid tests performed at the point-of-care. The Company believes that the following factors can be attributed to the increase in overall need and use of IVD test kits: an aging baby-boomer population; increasing healthcare costs; the ever-growing number of uninsured and under-insured in the U.S. and abroad; and a general increase in consumer awareness, in part due to the wealth of information available on the internet.

 

The concepts that distinguish POC technology - operation simple enough for non-laboratory users; little or no maintenance requirement; and rapid, reliable results - mean that it can be applied equally well in many non-clinical settings, such as the OTC market. As advances in medical technology increasingly make it possible to diagnose diseases and physiological conditions from ever-smaller amounts of body fluids, certain diseases and conditions that once required diagnosis by physicians and/or medical technicians inside hospital emergency rooms, exam rooms/bedside studies, or private clinics, can now also be done by inexpensive, easy-to-use diagnostic devices that consumers can use in the comfort and anonymity of their home. Today, the average pharmacy, whether a privately-owned neighborhood store, or chain owned, has become an outlet for selling IVD test kits for in-home use.

There are several different types of combinations of testing that can be done with the Urinalysis Reagent Strips. Urinalysis is a test of your urine. A urinalysis is used to detect and manage a wide range of disorders, such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease and diabetes. A urinalysis involves checking the appearance, concentration and content of urine. Mayo Clinic Oct 23, 2019.

 

Urinalysis tests include the following: 1.Glucose: This test is based on a double sequential enzyme reaction. One enzyme, glucose oxidase, catalyzes the formation of gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide from the oxidation of glucose. A second enzyme, peroxidase, catalyzes the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with potassium iodide chromogen to oxidize the chromogen to colors ranging from blue-green to greenish-brown through brown and dark brown. 2.Bilirubin: This test is based on the coupling of bilirubin with a diazotized dichloroaniline in a strongly acid medium. The colors range from light tan to reddish-brown. 3.Ketone: This test is based on the reaction of acetoacetic acid with sodium nitroprusside in a strongly basic medium. The colors range from beige or buff-pink color for a “Negative” reading to pink and pink-purple for a “Positive” reading. 4.Specific Gravity: This test is based on the apparent pKa change of certain pretreated polyelectrolytes in relation to the ionic concentration. In the presence of an indicator, the colors range from dark blue or blue-green in urine of low ionic concentration to green and yellow-green in urine of higher ionic concentration. 5.Blood: This test is based on the pseudo peroxidase action of hemoglobin and erythrocytes which catalyzes the reaction of 3,3’,5, 5’-tetramethyl-benzidine and buffered organic peroxide. The resulting colors range from orange to yellow-green and dark green. Very high blood concentration may cause the color development to continue to dark blue.6. pH: This test is based on the well known double pH indicator method, where bromothymol blue and methyl red give distinguishable colors over the pH range of 5-9. The colors range from red-orange to yellow and yellow-green to blue-green.7. Protein: This test is based on the protein error-of-indicator principle. At a constant pH, the development of any green color is due to the presence of protein. Colors range from yellow for a “Negative” reaction to yellow-green and green to blue-green for a “Positive” reaction. 8.Urobilinogen: This test is based on a modified Ehrlich reaction in which p-diethylamino benzaldehyde reacts with urobilinogen in a strongly acid medium. Colors range from light pink to bright magenta. 9.Nitrite: This test depends on the conversion of nitrate to nitrite by the action of Gram-negative bacteria in the urine. The nitrite reacts with p-arsanilic acid to form a diazonium compound in an acid medium. The diazonium compound in turn couples with 1,2,3,4- tetrahydro benzo(h) quinoline to produce a pink color.10. Leukocytes: This test is based on the action of esterase present in leukocytes, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of an indoxyl ester derivative. The indoxyl ester liberated reacts with a diazonium salt to produce a beige-pink to purple color. 11.Ascorbic Acid: This test is based on the action of a complex chelating agent with a polyvalent metal ion in its higher state and an indicator dye that can react with the metal ion.

Industry

 

The use of diagnostics in quality measures often is supported by clinical practice guidelines. Of all quality measures in HEDIS (The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (“HEDIS”) is a widely used set of performance measures in the managed care industry, developed and maintained by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (“NCQA”) and NQMC (The National Quality Measures Clearinghouse (“NQMC”), we identified guidelines specifically recommending diagnostic use in the NGC for 61.5% of those in HEDIS and 78.5% of those in the NQMC.

Of course, the development of measures for HEDIS, NQMC and other quality assessment initiatives is a relatively new process and represents only a sample of evidence-based use of diagnostics. Nevertheless, this analysis conveys the essential role of diagnostics in health care quality. Further, the incorporation of diagnostics into quality measures serves as a benchmark for assessing underuse of diagnostics and the health and economic impact of such underuse.

 

 3 
 

In its annual report on the state of health care quality in the US, NCQA assessed the impact of under-compliance with HEDIS measures, including those pertaining to diagnostics, on avoidable adverse health events, deaths and costs. Table 1 below shows these impacts for measures pertaining to diagnostics used in breast cancer detection, cholesterol management, colorectal cancer screening and diabetes management.

  Percent National Under-use in HEDIS Compliant Health Plans

(HbA1c control)

 

549 State of health care quality: industry trends and analysis. Washington, DC: National Committee for Quality Trance, 2004.

 

These and other findings of the 2004 NCQA report on the state of health care quality demonstrate the potential for evidence-based use of diagnostics to improve health care quality and to avoid unnecessary adverse health events, deaths and costs. These studies are the most recent and as time has passed, we all understand that the cost of Health Care has gone up dramatically and therefore the savings to the health care industry is even greater than the studies show (See Table 1 above).

 

Health care increasingly is subject to demands for improved health and quality of life and constraints on the spending required to deliver these improvements. In vitro diagnostics, henceforth in this report referred to as diagnostics, aid in responding to such demands by enabling accurate detection of health risks and disease at earlier stages and improving treatment and disease management, while diminishing subsequent health problems and their associated costs. Diagnostics serve a key role in the health value chain by influencing the quality of patient care, health outcomes, and downstream resource requirements.

 

From consumer-friendly at-home pregnancy and glucose monitoring tests to more complex automated laboratory-based systems, these tests are often first-line health decision tools. While diagnostics comprise less than 5% of hospital costs and about 1.6% of all Medicare costs, their findings influence as much as 60-70% of health care decision-making. The value of diagnostics accrues to not only clinicians and patients, but to health care managers, third-party payers, and quality assurance organizations that use diagnostic performance to measure and improve health care quality.

 

The following data have been culled from various publicly available sources that the Company believes to be accurate but cannot guarantee it. The Company has attempted to provide conservative statistics and believe that it is generally known that the market for IVD products is significant and is continuing to grow.

 

The pregnancy test is one of the primary home tests used in the world. The Company believes that approximately, 85,000 retail drug stores in the U.S. are selling over $900 million of pregnancy tests alone and continues to increase annually. Presently, it knows of five major manufacturers of this product.

 

The ovulation test market is generally estimated at $51 million annually and is growing annually. Presently, the Company is aware of four major brand companies that offer this test.

 

The glucose (diabetes) whole blood test is used to test for abnormal glucose blood levels. A significant number of individuals are affected in the United States with non-insulin dependent diabetes (Type II), many of whom are without knowledge of the disease. This disease, left untreated, can cause cardiovascular disorders and cataracts. With the explosive growth of childhood obesity and general poorer health on Americans, this test can save thousands of lives.

As mentioned in the Table 1: Diabetes management: There are 14,000 heart attacks, strokes, or amputations; 4,300–9,600 Deaths, but with Rapid Diagnostic Testing an annual avoidable cost of $573 million per year, and lives saved.

 

The Company’s most recent OTC product is its colorectal test (colon disorders). The Company estimates the demand for this test to increase with awareness of availability. It knows of only one other company that is currently offering this product. The colorectal Cancer screening tests helps detect the possibility of cancer early and can saves thousands of lives and millions of dollars. Colorectal cancer screening (FOBT) Fecal Occult Blood Test: 20,000 cases of colorectal cancer diagnosed/treated at a later stage and 4,200–6,300 deaths, but with Rapid Diagnostic Testing an annual avoidable cost of $191 million per year and lives saved.

 

The Company’s cholesterol OTC test and its cholesterol colorimetric POC test are available to test for abnormal levels of cholesterol in whole blood. There is evidence that a high blood cholesterol level increases the risk of developing arteriosclerosis, and with it the risk of coronary heart disease or stroke. This heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, as reported by the American Heart Association. Estimated Annual Avoidable Adverse Health Events are estimated to be approximately 14,600 with estimated annual avoidable deaths of approximately 6,900–17,000 from high Cholesterol. Rapid Diagnostic Tests taken by this populations would save an estimated $87 million per year and lives saved.

 

The market for drugs-of-abuse tests for the over-the-counter market is generally estimated to be one of the fastest growing markets of all IVD test products. At present, the Company believes that many law enforcement and governmental agencies are using laboratory testing facilities and must wait for results, often taking one week to ten days. The Company’s tests are completed onsite within ten minutes.

 

A significant number of people are infected by the H-Pylori bacteria, which are associated with ulcers. The Company’s H-Pylori test for the POC is one of its newest products.

 

All of the Company’s diagnostic tests, over 90 products are available for international distribution. The Company believes that its tests are excellent for distribution and use in underdeveloped countries because, unlike lab and other rapid diagnostic tests, its test kits do not need refrigeration and can withstand extended periods of excessive heat.

Professional fees relate to expenditures incurred primarily for legal and accounting services. During the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019 professional fees decreased $7,950 primarily due to decreased auditor related fees. During the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2019, professional fees increased $11,325 primarily due to an increase in accounting fees related to the fiscal 2020 audit and related accounting costs.

 

Research and Product Development

 

Research and Product Development (“R&D”) costs represent costs incurred to develop our tests and are incurred pursuant to agreements with other third-party providers and certain internal R&D cost allocations when applicable. R&D costs are expensed when incurred. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, R&D costs increased $65,000 and $ 204,010 as a result of study costs related to COVID-19 rapid diagnostic tests we plan to sell.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs include all expenditures related to personnel, travel and entertainment, public company compliance costs, insurance and other office related costs. SG&A costs decreased by $8,301 to $21,397 during the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $29,698 during the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is due to a decrease in personnel and stock transfer agent fees offset by the inclusion of rent expense that we did not incur in the prior year. SG&A costs increased by $20,665 to $54,661 during the six months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $33,996 during the six months ended December 31, 2019. The increase is due to the inclusion of rent expense that we did not incur in the prior year offset by a decrease in personnel costs.

Other Income and (Expense)

 

Other expense includes interest expense recognized on our debt obligations and accretion of the debt discount related to that debt. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, interest expense and accretion of debt discount increased $90,294 and $136,250, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2020, our assets consisted of $7,476 in cash and accounts receivable, and $236,016 in prepaid expenses and other current assets and inventory, compared to current liabilities of $185,233. From inception to December 31, 2020, we have incurred an accumulated deficit of $5,181,426. This loss has been incurred through a combination of professional fees, R&D and SG&A costs to support our plans to develop our business and includes $3,700,000 of expense related to the issuance of 1.85 million shares in exchange for services. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company had revenue of $37,460, gross profit of $9,329 and incurred a loss from operations of $296,567. The Company has incurred losses since inception and may not be able to generate sufficient net revenue from its business in the future to achieve or sustain profitability. The Company currently has insufficient funds to operate over the next twelve months. To finance our operations, we have entered into the EMC2 SPA, which, once our Form S-1 is declared effective, will provide us the necessary financing to remain a going concern over the next twelve months. However, our ability to obtain financing under the EMC2 SPA is dependent on the SEC declaring our Form S-1 filed on January 28, 2020 to be effective. We make no assurances or representations that the SEC will make the S-1 effective. Additionally, we are currently pursuing additional funds through equity or debt financing or a combination thereof. However, aside from the EMC2 SPA, the Company has no commitments to obtain any such financing, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments’ and Use of Estimates

 

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates can also affect supplemental disclosures including information about contingencies, risk and financial condition. Critical accounting estimates are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and potentially yield materially different results under different assumptions or conditions. Given current facts and circumstances, we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, adhere to GAAP and are consistently applied. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described above under the Notes to Financial Statements “NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”.

Family Relationships and Other Matters

 

There are no family relationships among or between any of our officers and directors.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

None of or directors or officers are involved in any legal proceedings as described in Regulation S-K (§229.401(f)).

 

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

Because we do not have a class of equity securities registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act we are not required to make the disclosures required by Item 405 of Regulation SK.

 

CODE OF ETHICS

 

We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Director Independence

 

We are not listed on a major U.S. securities exchange and, therefore, are not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange, including those related to the independence of directors; however, at this time, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, our Board has determined that Rene Alvarez, Dr. Scott Ford and Wolfgang Groeters are independent from our management and qualify as an “independent director” under the standards of independence of the FINRA listing standards. We do not currently have a majority of independent directors as required by the FINRA listing standards. Upon our listing on any national securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system, we will elect such independent directors as is necessary under the rules of any such securities exchange.

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

We currently have two executive officers and six directors. Our Board has reviewed our current Board leadership structure — which consists of a Chief Executive Officer who is also the Chairman of the Board and five other Directors of which three are independent — in light of the composition of the Board, our size, the nature of our business, the regulatory framework under which we operate, our stockholder base, our peer group and other relevant factors, and has determined that this structure is currently the most appropriate Board leadership structure for our company. Nevertheless, the Board intends to carefully evaluate from time to time whether our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman positions should be separated based on what the Board believes is best for us and our stockholders.

 

Board Role in Risk Oversight

 

Risk is inherent in every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including strategic risks, enterprise risks, financial risks, and regulatory risks. While our management is responsible for day to day management of various risks we face, the Board, as a whole, is responsible for evaluating our exposure to risk and to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. The Board reviews and discusses policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Board also has oversight responsibility with respect to the integrity of our financial reporting process and systems of internal control regarding finance and accounting, as well as its financial statements.

(1) Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Each of the beneficial owners listed above has direct ownership of and sole voting power and investment power with respect to the shares of our common stock and except as indicated the address of each beneficial owner is 3651 Lindell Road, Suite D410, Las Vegas, NV 89103

 

(2) Calculated pursuant to rule 13d-3(d) of the Exchange Act. Beneficial ownership is calculated based on 56,116,358 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of August 21, 2019. Under Rule 13d-3(d) of the Exchange Act, shares not outstanding which are subject to options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the number and percentage owned by such person, but are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage owned by each other person listed. All the share amounts listed represent common stock held. No derivatives are outstanding as the hate hereof.

 

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

The Company currently has no related party transactions that meet the thresholds defined in Regulation S-K 229.404.

 

We expect that our board will adopt a written policy for the review of related party transactions. For purposes of the policy, a related party transaction will include transactions in which (1) the amount involved in any consecutive 12-month period is more than the lesser of (i) $120,000 or (ii) one percent of the Company’s average total assets at year-end in the prior two completed fiscal years, (2) the Company is a participant, and (3) any related party has a direct or indirect material interest. The policy is expected to define a “related party” to include directors, nominees for director, executive officers, beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and their respective immediate family members. Pursuant to the policy, all related party transactions must be approved by the Company’s board of directors or, in the event of an inadvertent failure to bring the transaction to the board, ratified by the board. In the event that a member of the board has an interest in a related party transaction, the transaction must be approved or ratified by the disinterested members of the board. In deciding whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the board will consider the following factors:

 

●       whether the terms of the transaction are (1) fair to the Company and (2) at least as favorable to the Company as would apply if the transaction did not involve a related party;

●       whether there are demonstrable business reasons for the Company to enter into the transaction;

●       whether the transaction would impair the independence of an outside director under the Company’s director independence standards; and

●       whether the transaction would present an improper conflict of interest for any director or executive officer, taking into account the size of the transaction, the overall financial position of the related party, the direct or indirect nature of the related party’s interest in the transaction and the ongoing nature of any proposed relationship, and any other factors the committee deems relevant.

 

Independent Directors

 

We are not listed on a major U.S. securities exchange and, therefore, are not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange, including those related to the independence of directors. However, Our Board considers that a director is independent when the director is not an officer or employee of the Company, does not have any relationship which would, or could reasonably appear to, materially interfere with the independent judgment of such director, and the director otherwise meets the independence requirements under the listing standards of FINRA and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Our Board has reviewed the materiality of any relationship that each of our directors has with the Company, either directly or indirectly. Based on this review, our Board has affirmatively determined that three of our six directors, including Rene Alvarez, Dr. Scott Ford and Wolfgang Groeters, qualify as “independent” directors.

The EMC2 Transaction

 

On July 22, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement with EMC2, which we refer to in this prospectus as the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which EMC2 has agreed to purchase from us up to an aggregate of $100,000,000 of our common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the term of the Purchase Agreement. Also, on July 22, 2020, we entered into a registration rights agreement with EMC2, which we refer to in this prospectus as the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we are required to file with the SEC a registration statement that includes this prospectus to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been or may be issued to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the time we signed the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, we issued 1,415,094 shares of our common stock and 2,000,000 warrants to EMC2 as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement, which we refer to in this prospectus as the Commitment Shares and Commitment Warrants.

 

We do not have the right to commence any sales of our common stock to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement until certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, all of which are outside of EMC2’s control, have been satisfied, including that the SEC has declared effective the registration statement that includes this prospectus. Thereafter, we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, direct EMC2 to purchase shares of our common stock in amounts up to 100,000 shares on any single business day, subject to a maximum of $1,000,000 per purchase, plus other “VWAP Purchases” under certain circumstances. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to EMC2. The purchase price of the shares that may be sold to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement will be based on the market price of our common stock preceding the time of sale as computed under the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the business days used to compute such price. We may at any time in our sole discretion terminate the Purchase Agreement without fee, penalty or cost upon one business day notice.  There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement, other than a prohibition on entering into a “Variable Rate Transaction,” as defined in the Purchase Agreement. EMC2 may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

As of July 22, 2020, there were 59,966,358 shares of our common stock outstanding, of which 35,742,559 shares were held by non-affiliates, excluding the 1,415,094 commitment shares that we have already issued to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement. Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to $100,000,000 of our common stock to EMC2, only 11,993,271 shares of our common stock are being offered under this prospectus, which represents: (i) 1,415,094 shares that we already issued to EMC2 as a commitment fee for making the commitment under the Purchase Agreement; (ii) 2,000,000 shares underlying the Commitment Warrants; and (iii) an additional 8,578,177 shares which may be issued to EMC2 in the future under the Purchase Agreement, if and when we sell shares to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement. Depending on the market price of our common stock at the time we elect to issue and sell shares to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement, we may need to register for resale under the Securities Act additional shares of our common stock in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the $100,000,000 total commitment available to us under the Purchase Agreement. If all of the 11,993,271 shares offered by EMC2 under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, such shares would represent 16.67% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding and 33.55% of the total number of outstanding shares held by non-affiliates, in each case as of the date hereof. If we elect to issue and sell more than the 11,993,271 shares offered under this prospectus to EMC2, which we have the right, but not the obligation, to do, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act any such additional shares, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by EMC2 is dependent upon the number of shares we sell to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement.

 

Under applicable rules of The NASDAQ Capital Market, in no event may we issue or sell to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement more than 19.99% of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement (which is 11,993,271 shares based on 59,966,358 shares outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement), which limitation we refer to as the Exchange Cap, unless (i) we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of our common stock to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $1.59 (which represents the closing consolidated bid price of our common stock on July 22, 2020, plus an incremental amount to account for our issuance of the Commitment Shares to EMC2), such that the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are exempt from the Exchange Cap limitation under applicable NASDAQ rules. In any event, the Purchase Agreement specifically provides that we may not issue or sell any shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement if such issuance or sale would breach any applicable rules or regulations of The NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

The Purchase Agreement also prohibits us from directing EMC2 to purchase any shares of common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by EMC2 and its affiliates, would result in EMC2 and its affiliates having beneficial ownership, at any single point in time, of more than 4.99% of the then total outstanding shares of our common stock, as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder, which limitation we refer to as the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

 

Issuances of our common stock in this offering will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any such issuance. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any such issuance to EMC2.

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes in our Quarterly and Annual Reports along with our other SEC filings, before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could suffer materially, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business.

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

We have a history of operating losses and expect to incur additional losses in the future.

 

We have sustained losses in recent years, which as of June 30, 2020, accumulated to $4,748,609, including an operating net loss of $4,285,527 and $30,867 for the year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We are likely to continue to incur net losses as we pursue our strategy, which is currently focused on developing our sales channels and distribution partnerships. Our losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our shareholders’ equity and working capital. Any failure to achieve and maintain profitability would continue to have an adverse effect on our shareholders’ equity and working capital and could result in a decline in our share price or cause us to cease operations. To date, the Company has not made any sales. Also, our auditor has expressed substantial doubt as to company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 15 
 

We will need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain.

 

Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant. We will require additional funds to develop sales channels and market our products. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In either of the aforementioned situations, we may not be able to fully implement our growth plans.

 

Additional financings that we may require in the future will dilute the percentage ownership interests of our stockholders and may adversely affect our earnings and net book value per share. In addition, we may not be able to secure any such additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Moreover, if we are unable to obtain such additional capital as discussed above, we will be required to stop our operations, and will resume our activities, only after capital is raised.

 

To facilitate ongoing operations and product development, on July 22, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with EMC2 (the “EMC2 Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which EMC2 has agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of $100,000,000 of common stock of the Company (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the term of the EMC2 Purchase Agreement.

 

Per the terms of the EMC2 Purchase Agreement, we may direct EMC2 to purchase up to $100,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock under our agreement over a 36-month period generally in amounts up to 100,000 shares of our common stock, which may be increased to up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of sale and subject to a maximum commitment by EMC2 of $500,000 per regular purchase. The purchase price for Regular Purchases shall be equal to the lesser of (i) 95% of the lowest Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date or (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest Closing Sale Prices for the Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Business Days ending on the Business Day immediately preceding such Purchase Date.

 

The extent to which we rely on EMC2 as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including, the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources. If obtaining sufficient funding from EMC2 were to prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive, we will need to secure another source of funding in order to satisfy our working capital needs. Even if we sell all $100,000,000 under the Purchase Agreement to EMC2, we may still need additional capital to fully implement our business, operating and development plans. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences could be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

 

Because of the potential conflict of interest of Mr. Charles Strongo and Dr. Shujie Cui as being principles and officers of WholeHealth Products, Inc, the potential conflict must not interfere with the sales of Global WholeHealth Partners Corp.

 

As officers of WholeHealth Products, Inc., a potential conflict could arise if WholeHealth Products, Inc. pursued the in vitro diagnostic business. WholeHealth Products, Inc. was founded in 2013 and has had no sales to date. WholeHealth Products Inc. is currently contemplating entering the business of providing medical supplies such as gloves, masks, gowns and disposables and does not intend to enter the in vitro diagnostics business. However, should WholeHealth Products Inc. pursue business in the in vitro diagnostic business, a conflict would arise that would require the resignation of either Mr. Strongo or Dr. Cui from their position as an officer of the Company.

 

Because of our limited operating history, we may not be able to successfully operate our business or execute our business plan.

 

In 2019, under our new leadership team, we went through a strategy change, which shifted our focus from the energy business to selling our diagnostic products. Given our limited operating history, it is hard to evaluate our proposed business and prospects. Our proposed business operations will be subject to numerous risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties associated with early-stage enterprises. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

·the absence of a lengthy operating history;
·insufficient capital to fully realize our operating plan;
·expected continual losses for the foreseeable future;
·operating in multiple currencies;
·our ability to anticipate and adapt to a developing market(s);
·acceptance of our products;
·limited marketing experience;
·a competitive environment characterized by well-established and well-capitalized competitors;
·the ability to identify, attract and retain qualified personnel; and
·operating in an environment that is highly regulated by a number of agencies.

 

Because we are subject to these risks, evaluating our business may be difficult, our business strategy may be unsuccessful and we may be unable to address such risks in a cost-effective manner, if at all. If we are unable to successfully address these risks our business could be harmed.

 

The commercial success of our products as well as any future products depends upon the degree of market acceptance by the in-vitro diagnostics industry.

 

In order to achieve high volume sales, and attain a leading market share, our products must not only be approved by regulators, but also endorsed by the in vitro diagnostics industry. Our success depends on our tests ability to accurately identify disease in a cost-effective manner. We are aware of this key factor and are focusing on rapid diagnostic tests that can save lives and save money. However, there remain no assurances that we will succeed, nor is it clear how long it will take until we receive market recognition.

 16 
 

Any product that we bring to the market may or may not gain market acceptance by prospective customers. The commercial success of our products and any future product depends in part on the in-vitro diagnostic industry and our solutions as a useful and cost-effective option compared to current and competing solutions. If our products or any future product do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance, we may not generate significant product revenue and may not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of our products will depend on a number of factors, including:

 

·The cost, safety, efficacy, and convenience of our products;
·the acceptance of our products as a superior solution in the in-vitro diagnostic industry;
·the ability of third parties to enter into relationships with us without violating their existing agreements;
·the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts;
·the strength of marketing and distribution support for, and timing of market introduction of, competing products; and
·publicity concerning our products or competing products.

 

Our efforts to penetrate the in-vitro diagnostic industry and educate the marketplace on the benefits of our products may require significant resources and may never be successful.

 

We may face significant competition from other companies looking to expand their line of products

 

We expect to face significant competition in every aspect of our business, and particularly from other companies that carry the same types of products.

 

We believe that many of our competitors spend significantly more on research and development-related activities than we do. Our competitors may discover new diagnostic tools or develop existing technologies to compete with our diagnostic technology. Our commercial opportunities will be reduced or eliminated if these competing products are more effective, are more convenient or are less expensive than our product candidates.

 

We may be unable to respond effectively to technological changes in our industry, which could reduce the demand for our products.

 

Our future business success will depend upon our ability to maintain and enhance our product portfolio with respect to advances in technological improvements for certain diagnostic products and market products that meet customer needs and market conditions in a cost-effective and timely manner. Maintaining and enhancing our product portfolio may require significant investments in licensing fees and royalties. We may not be successful in gaining access to new products that successfully compete or are able to anticipate customer needs and preferences, and our customers may not accept one or more of our products. If we fail to keep pace with evolving technological innovations or fail to modify our products and services in response to customers’ needs or preferences, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

We currently rely on a limited number of suppliers to produce certain key components of our products.

 

We have partnered with four suppliers and contract manufactures, which make 80% of the tests that we sell. Each manufacturer covers approximately 20% of the products we market. The remaining 20% is manufactured by Dr. Shujie Cui at his facility in San Diego. Dr. Shujie Cui is our Chief Science Officer. In the event that one or all of our manufacturers is unable to provide us with product, we would have to manufacture those products at the San Diego facility with Dr. Shujie Cui. This would cause a 3-4-month delay in shipping, increase our costs by approximately 20% and have a material adverse effect on the profitability of the Company.

 

Additionally, if any of our suppliers failed to comply with Current Good Manufacturing Practices, the Company would have to find new suppliers and the price difference may be too much for the Company to remain competitive thereby having a potentially adverse impact on the Company’s operations and profitability.

 

We face risks related to health pandemics and other widespread outbreaks of contagious disease, including the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, which could significantly disrupt our operations and impact our financial results.

 

Our business could be disrupted and materially adversely affected by the recent outbreak of COVID-19. In December 2019, an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a strain of novel coronavirus, COVID-19, began in China. As of March 2020, that outbreak has led to numerous confirmed cases worldwide, including in the United States. The outbreak and government measures taken in response have also had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the third parties with whom we engage operate. The future progression of the outbreak and its effects on our business and operations are uncertain. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to avoid any impact from the spread of COVID-19 or its consequences, including downturns in global economies and financial markets that could affect our future operating results.

 

If we are unable to establish sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or enter into successful relationships with third parties to perform these services, we may not be successful in commercializing our products.

 

 17 
 

We have a limited sales and marketing infrastructure and have limited experience in the sale, marketing or distribution of products. To achieve commercial success for any product for which we have obtained marketing approval, we will need to establish a sales and marketing infrastructure or to out-license our products.

 

In the future, we may consider building a focused sales and marketing infrastructure to market our products in the United States or elsewhere in the world. There are risks involved with establishing our own sales, marketing and distribution capabilities. For example, recruiting and training a sales force could be expensive and time consuming and could delay any product launch. This may be costly, and our investment would be lost if we cannot retain or reposition our sales and marketing personnel.

 

Factors that may inhibit our efforts to commercialize our products on our own include:

 

·our inability to recruit, train and retain adequate numbers of effective sales and marketing personnel;
·the inability of sales personnel to obtain access to potential customers;
·the lack of complementary products to be offered by sales personnel, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to companies with more extensive product lines; and
·unforeseen costs and expenses associated with creating an independent sales and marketing organization.

 

If we are unable to establish our own sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or enter into successful arrangements with third parties to perform these services, our revenues and our profitability may be materially adversely affected.

 

In addition, we may not be successful in entering into arrangements with third parties to sell, market and distribute our products inside or outside of the United States or may be unable to do so on terms that are favorable to us. We likely will have little control over such third parties, and any of them may fail to devote the necessary resources and attention to sell and market our products effectively. If we do not establish sales, marketing and distribution capabilities successfully, either on our own or in collaboration with third parties, we will not be successful in commercializing our product candidates.

 

Our success is dependent upon our ability to achieve regulatory approvals in the U.S. and abroad.

 

We are subject to extensive national, state and local government regulation. A critical key to our success and ability to expand our business is our ability to obtain regulatory approvals in United States and in other countries for the use of our products. We do not anticipate any significant problems in obtaining future required licenses, permits or approvals that are necessary to expand our business, however such registration filing might take longer period than expected, and it might delay obtaining such regulatory approvals, or might cause delay in starting operations on a large scale in these countries and other jurisdictions. Even though we carry several products that are FDA approved for sale, we are continuing to work on getting more products through the FDA process of 510K.

 

There are inherent dangers in production with specific reagents that can be considered dangerous, only if ingested.

 

Some of our products use reagents that are considered dangerous if ingested.

 

Conditions in the global economy may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Although demand for in-vitro diagnostics is considered inelastic in developed economies, the in-vitro diagnostic industry that we sell to may be affected by material changes in supply, market prices, exchange rates and general economic conditions. Delays or reductions in our customers’ purchasing or shifts to lower-cost alternatives that result from tighter economic market conditions would reduce demand for our products and services and could, consequently, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our relationship with our employees could deteriorate, and certain key employees could leave, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Our business involves complex operations and demands a management team to determine and implement our strategy and workforce that is knowledgeable and expert in many areas necessary for our operations. As a company focused on sales and research and development in the highly-specialized in-vitro diagnostics industry, we rely on our ability to attract and retain skilled employees, consultants and contractors, including our specialized research and development. As of June 30, 2020, we have 4 full-time employees, 3 part-time employees and 9 independent contractors. The departure of a significant number of our highly skilled employees, consultants or contractors or one or more employees who hold key regional management positions could have an adverse impact on our operations, including customers choosing to follow a regional manager to one of our competitors.

 

In addition, to execute our growth plan we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for these employees exists; new members of management must have significant industry expertise when they join us or engage in significant training which, in many cases, requires significant time before they achieve full productivity. If we fail to attract, train, retain, and motivate our key personnel, our business and growth prospects could be severely harmed.

 

Furthermore, we are dependent upon the managers to oversee our operations. Thus, there can be no assurance that the managers’ experience will be sufficient to successfully achieve our business objectives. All decisions regarding the management of our affairs will be made exclusively by our officers and directors. In the event these persons are ineffective, our business and results of operations would likely be adversely affected.

 

 18 
 

Our operating results may fluctuate, which makes our results difficult to predict and could cause our results to fall short of expectations.

 

Our operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many outside of our control. As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. Our quarterly, year-to-date and annual expenses as a percentage of our revenues may differ significantly from our historical or projected rates. Our operating results in future quarters may fall below expectations. Any of these events could cause our stock price to fall. Each of the risk factors listed in the section “Risk Factors,” and the following factors may affect our operating results:

·our ability to penetrate the in-vitro diagnostics industry with our products;
·our ability to generate revenue from our products;
·the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the maintenance and expansion of our businesses and operations;
·our focus on long-term goals over short-term results; and
·global economic situation.

 

Failure to comply with anti-bribery, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

 

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the FCPA, and other anticorruption, anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in the jurisdictions in which we do business, both domestic and abroad. These laws generally prohibit us and our employees from improperly influencing government officials or commercial parties in order to obtain or retain business, direct business to any person or gain any advantage. The FCPA and other applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws also may hold us liable for acts of corruption and bribery committed by our third-party business partners, representatives and agents. In addition to our own sales force, we leverage third parties to sell our products and conduct our business abroad. We and our third-party business partners, representatives and agents may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities and we may be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these third-party business partners and intermediaries, our employees, representatives, contractors, channel partners and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities. These laws also require that we keep accurate books and records and maintain internal controls and compliance procedures designed to prevent any such actions. While we have policies and procedures to address compliance with such laws, we cannot assure you that our employees and agents will not take actions in violation of our policies or applicable law, for which we may be ultimately held responsible and our exposure for violating these laws increases as our international presence expands and as we increase sales and operations in foreign jurisdictions. Any violation of the FCPA or other applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption laws and anti-money laundering laws could result in whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, imposition of significant legal fees, loss of export privileges, severe criminal or civil sanctions or suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracts, substantial diversion of management’s attention, a decline in the market price of our common stock or overall adverse consequences to our reputation and business, all of which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Disruptions to our information technology systems due to cyber-attacks or our failure to upgrade and adjust our information technology systems, may materially impair our operations, hinder our growth and materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

We believe that an appropriate information technology, or IT, infrastructure is important in order to support our daily operations and the growth of our business. If we experience difficulties in implementing new or upgraded information systems or experience significant system failures, or if we are unable to successfully modify our management information systems or respond to changes in our business needs, we may not be able to effectively manage our business, and we may fail to meet our reporting obligations. Additionally, if our current back-up storage arrangements and our disaster recovery plan are not operated as planned, we may not be able to effectively recover our information system in the event of a crisis, which may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

In the current environment, there are numerous and evolving risks to cybersecurity and privacy, including criminal hackers, hacktivists, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage, employee malfeasance and human or technological error. High-profile security breaches at other companies and in government agencies have increased in recent years, and security industry experts and government officials have warned about the risks of hackers and cyber-attacks targeting businesses such as ours. Computer hackers and others routinely attempt to breach the security of technology products, services and systems, and to fraudulently induce employees, customers, or others to disclose information or unwittingly provide access to systems or data. We can provide no assurance that our current IT system or any updates or upgrades thereto and the current or future IT systems of our potential distributors use or may use in the future, are fully protected against third-party intrusions, viruses, hacker attacks, information or data theft or other similar threats. Legislative or regulatory action in these areas is also evolving, and we may be unable to adapt our IT systems or to manage the IT systems of third parties to accommodate these changes. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience actual or attempted cyber-attacks of our IT networks. Although none of these actual or attempted cyber-attacks has had a material adverse impact on our operations or financial condition, we cannot guarantee that any such incidents will not have such an impact in the future.

 

Risks Related to our common stock and Corporate Governance

 

The market price of our securities may be highly volatile.

 

 19 
 

The market price of our common stock is likely to be volatile. Our common stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including the following:

 

·reports of adverse events with respect to the commercialization and distribution of our products;
·inability to obtain additional funding;
·failure to successfully sell our products;
·changes in laws or regulations applicable to future products;
·inability to obtain adequate product supply for our products or the inability to do so at acceptable prices;
·introduction of new products or technologies by our competitors;
·failure to meet or exceed financial projections we may provide to the public;
·failure to meet or exceed the financial expectations of the investment community;
·announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by our competitors;
·additions or departures of key management personnel;
·significant lawsuits;
·changes in the market valuations of similar companies;
·sales of our securities by us or our shareholders in the future; and
·trading volumes of our securities.

 

In addition, companies trading in the stock market have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by our existing stockholders could cause our share price to fall.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock.

 

Our principal stockholders, officers and directors beneficially own approximately 40.39% of our outstanding shares of common stock. They will therefore be able to exert significant control over matters submitted to our stockholders for approval.

 

As of December 31, 2020 , our principal stockholders, officers and directors beneficially own approximately 40.39% of our outstanding common stock. This significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our common stock because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning shares in companies with controlling stockholders. As a result, these stockholders, if they acted together, could significantly influence or even unilaterally approve matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions. The interests of these stockholders may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders.

 

We face risks related to compliance with corporate governance laws and financial reporting standards.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related new rules and regulations implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, require changes in the corporate governance practices and financial reporting standards for public companies. These new laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 relating to internal control over financial reporting, have materially increased the legal and financial compliance costs of small companies and have made some activities more time-consuming and more burdensome.

 

Increased costs associated with corporate governance compliance may significantly impact our results of operations.

 

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses due to our compliance with regulations and disclosure obligations applicable to us, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules implemented by the SEC, and NASDAQ. The SEC and other regulators have continued to adopt new rules and regulations and make additional changes to existing regulations that require our compliance. In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, was enacted. There are significant corporate governance and executive compensation related provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act that have required the SEC to adopt additional rules and regulations in these areas. Stockholder activism, the current political environment, and the current high level of government intervention and regulatory reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which may lead to additional compliance costs and impact, in ways we cannot currently anticipate, the manner in which we operate our business. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance programs and monitoring of public company reporting obligations, and as a result of the new corporate governance and executive compensation related rules, regulations, and guidelines prompted by the Dodd-Frank Act, and further regulations and disclosure obligations expected in the future, we will likely need to devote additional time and costs to comply with such compliance programs and rules. These rules and regulations will cause us to incur significant legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate, and weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which we may be required to include in our periodic reports that we file with the SEC under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, or result in a restatement of our prior period financial statements. If we are not able to demonstrate compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, that our internal control over financial reporting is perceived as inadequate, or that we are unable to produce timely or accurate financial statements, investors may lose confidence in our operating results, and the price of our common stock could decline.

 

We are required to comply with certain of the SEC rules that implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment needs to include the disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by our management or our independent registered public accounting firm. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or if we are unable to complete our evaluation, testing, and any required remediation in a timely fashion, we will be unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

 

These developments could make it more difficult for us to retain qualified members of our Board of Directors, or qualified executive officers. We are presently evaluating and monitoring regulatory developments and cannot estimate the timing or magnitude of additional costs we may incur as a result. To the extent these costs are significant, our general and administrative expenses are likely to increase.

 

We may not have effective internal controls.

 

In connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we need to assess the adequacy of our internal control, remedy any weaknesses that may be identified, validate that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal controls. We may discover deficiencies that require us to improve our procedures, processes and systems in order to ensure that our internal controls are adequate and effective and that we are in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If the deficiencies are not adequately addressed, or if we are unable to complete all of our testing and any remediation in time for compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the SEC rules under it, we would be unable to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are designed and operating effectively, which could adversely affect investor confidence in our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

 

In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could seriously hurt our business. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they adversely change their recommendations or publish negative reports regarding our business or our common stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. We do not have any control over these analysts, and we cannot provide any assurance that analysts will cover us or provide favorable coverage. If any of the analysts who may cover us adversely change their recommendation regarding our shares, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

 

The sale or issuance of our common stock to EMC2 may cause significant dilution and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by EMC2, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

 

On July 22, 2020, we entered into the EMC2 Purchase Agreement pursuant to which EMC2 has agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of $100,000,000 of our common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the term of the EMC2 Purchase Agreement. Per the terms of the EMC2 Purchase Agreement, we may direct EMC2 to purchase up to $100,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock under our agreement over a 36-month period.

 

 21 
 

The extent we rely on EMC2 as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including, the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources. The purchase price for the shares that we may sell to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall. We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any future sales of our shares to EMC2. Additional sales of our common stock, if any, to EMC2 will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to EMC2 all, some or none of the additional shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If and when we do sell shares to EMC2, after EMC2 has acquired the shares, EMC2 may resell all, some or none of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to EMC2 by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to EMC2, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

 

Our common stock is an illiquid investment as there is presently limited market for our common stock, and transferability of our common stock is subject to significant restriction.

 

There is presently a limited market for our common stock, and we cannot be certain that a public market will become available, or that there will be sufficient liquidity to allow for sale or transferability of our common stock within the near future. Therefore, the purchase of our common stock must be considered a long-term investment acceptable only for prospective investors who are willing and can afford to accept and bear the substantial risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time. There is a limited public market for the resale of our common stock. A prospective investor, therefore, may not be able to liquidate its investment, even in the event of an emergency, and common stock may not be acceptable as collateral for a loan.

 

Because We May Be Subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules, You May Have Difficulty in Selling Our common stock.

 

If market activity develops for our common stock and our stock price is less than $5.00 per share, our stock may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules. These rules impose additional sales practice requirements and restrictions on broker-dealers that sell our stock to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors. The application of these rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to sell any common stock you may own. According to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

·Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
·Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
·“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;
·Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
·The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

 

If we are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty selling your shares of common stock. For more information about penny stocks, please visit http://www.sec.gov/answers/penny.htm.

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus represent our views as of the date of this prospectus. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by EMC2. We will receive no proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by EMC2 in this offering. We may receive up to $100,000,000 aggregate gross proceeds under the Purchase Agreement from any sales we make to EMC2 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement after the date of this prospectus. We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of our common stock to EMC2 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be up to $99,500,000 over an approximately 36-month period, assuming that we sell the full amount of our common stock that we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to EMC2 under that agreement and other estimated fees and expenses. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 34 in this prospectus for more information.

 

We expect to use any proceeds that we receive under the Purchase Agreement for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

 

This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the selling stockholder, EMC2, of shares of common stock that have been or may be issued to EMC2 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, which we entered into with EMC2 on July 22, 2020 concurrently with our execution of the Purchase Agreement, in which we agreed to provide certain registration rights with respect to sales by EMC2 of the shares of our common stock that have been or may be issued to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement.

 

EMC2, as the selling stockholder, may, from time to time, offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the shares that we have issued or may sell to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement. The selling stockholder may sell some, all or none of its shares. We do not know how long the selling stockholder will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholder regarding the sale of any of the shares.

 

The following table presents information regarding the selling stockholder and the shares that it may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus. The table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholder and reflects its holdings as of December 10, 2020. Neither EMC2 nor any of its affiliates has held a position or office, or had any other material relationship, with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.

EMC2 Capital, LLC (1)   3,415,094 (2)   2.36  (3)   11,993,271  (4)   ·

 

  (1) John McFarland and Barrett Evans, the Managing Members of EMC2 Capital, LLC, are deemed to be beneficial owners of all of the shares of common stock owned by EMC2 Capital Fund, LLC. Messrs. McFarland and Evans have shared voting and investment power over the shares being offered under the prospectus filed with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement. EMC2 Capital, LLC is not a licensed broker dealer or an affiliate of a licensed broker dealer.

 

  (2) Represents (i) 1,415,094 Commitment Shares of our common stock issued to EMC2 upon our execution of the Purchase Agreement as a fee for its commitment to purchase shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement, all of which shares are covered by the registration statement that includes this prospectus; and (ii) an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, representing shares that may be issued to EMC2 as of the date of this prospectus upon exercise of warrants to purchase our common stock, at certain fixed prices (that may be subject to adjustment as provided in such warrants), which warrants were acquired by EMC2 in connection with the Purchase Agreement. EMC2 may not exercise these warrants if such shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by EMC2 and its affiliates, would result in EMC2 and its affiliates having beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of the then total outstanding shares of our common stock, as calculated in accordance with the terms of such warrants. In accordance with rule 13d-3(d) under the Exchange Act, we have excluded from the number of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering all of the shares of common stock that EMC2 may be required to purchase pursuant to the Purchase Agreement because the issuance of such shares is solely at our discretion and is subject to certain conditions, the satisfaction of all of which are outside of EMC2’s control, including the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becoming and remaining effective. Furthermore, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, issuances and sales of shares of our common stock to EMC2 are subject to certain limitations on the amounts we may sell to EMC2 at any time, including the Exchange Cap and the Beneficial Ownership Cap. See the description under the heading “The EMC2 Transaction” for more information about the Purchase Agreement.

 

  (3) Based on 59,966,358 outstanding shares of our common stock as of July 22, 2020, which excludes the 1,415,094 Commitment Shares we have already issued to EMC2 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

 

  (4) Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to $100,000,000 of our common stock to EMC2, only 11,993,271 shares of our common stock are being offered under this prospectus, which represents: (i) 1,415,094 Commitment Shares issued to EMC2 upon our execution of the Purchase Agreement as a fee for its commitment to purchase shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement; (ii) 2,000,000 Commitment Warrants issued to EMC2 upon our execution of the Purchase Agreement; and (iii)  an aggregate of 8,578,177 shares of our common stock that may be sold by us to EMC2 at our discretion from time to time over a 36-month period commencing after the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including that the SEC has declared effective the registration statement that includes this prospectus. Depending on the price per share at which we sell our common stock to EMC2 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we may need to sell to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement more shares of our common stock than are offered under this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the $100,000,000 total commitment available to us under the Purchase Agreement. If we choose to do so, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act such additional shares. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by EMC2 is dependent upon the number of shares we sell to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement.

CAPITALIZATION

 

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of December 31, 2020 :

 

The following information is illustrative only, and our cash and capitalization following the completion of the sale to EMC2 of the shares registered for resale pursuant to this prospectus will change based on the per share price of the common stock sold to EMC2. You should read this table in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes in our filings with the SEC.

 

Assumed public offering price per share           $ 3.45
Historical net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2020   $ (0.0007)        
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering   $ 0.5189        
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering             0.52
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering           $ 2.93

 

 

 

 25 
 

 

The preceding data is based on 58,116,358 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and pro forma of 69,959,629 shares outstanding. This number excludes the following which, if issued by the Company, would be dilutive to our stockholders:

·2,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants that were outstanding as of July 31, 2020 at a weighted-average exercise price of $1.59 per share.

 

Also, to the extent that we issue any common stock to vendors, lenders, litigants or potential litigants, the issuance of such securities could result in significant dilution to our stockholders.

 

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. As of , December 31, 2020 our historical net tangible book value was $(41,707) thousand, or $(0.000718) per share of common stock, based on 58,116,358 shares of our common stock outstanding at September 30, 2020. Our historical net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2020.

 

After giving effect to the sale by us of 10,578,177 shares of our common stock in this offering at the assumed public offering price of $3.45 per share, the closing price of our common stock on August 10, 2020, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us and the issuance by us of 1,415,0094 shares of common stock as a commitment fee, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2020 would have been $36.3 million, or $0.5189 per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.5182 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $2.93 per share to our new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

 

Assumed public offering price per share           $ 3.45
Historical net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2020   $ (0.0007)        
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering   $ 0.5189        
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering             0.52
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering           $ 2.93

 

The preceding data is based on 58,116,358 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and pro forma of 70,109,629 shares outstanding. This number excludes the following which, if issued by the Company, would be dilutive to our stockholders:

·2,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants that were outstanding as of July 31, 2020 at a weighted-average exercise price of $1.59 per share;

 

To the extent that stock options are exercised, or new stock options are issued under our equity incentive plans, there will be further dilution to investors purchasing common stock in this offering. In addition, we need to raise additional capital because of market conditions and strategic considerations. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

 

Also, to the extent that we issue any common stock to vendors, lenders, litigants or potential litigants, the issuance of such securities could result in significant dilution to our stockholders.

 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid dividends on our capital stock. We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. Any future determination to declare dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on various factors, including applicable laws, our results of operations, financial condition, future prospects and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Investors should not purchase our common stock with the expectation of receiving cash dividends.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2020, there were 59,966,358 shares of our common stock outstanding, which excludes the 1,415,094 Commitment Shares we have already issued to EMC2 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, as of December 31, 2020, warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock were outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $1.59 per share.

 

 26 
 

The following description of our capital stock and provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated by-laws and certificate of designation are summaries of material terms and provisions and are qualified by reference to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated by-laws and certificates of designation, copies of which have been previously filed with the SEC.

 

Common Stock

 

Each holder of our common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted upon by the common stockholders, and there will be no cumulative voting rights. To be elected in an uncontested election for Board members, a director nominee must receive more votes “for” than “against” by shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. In a contested election for Board members, the Board members are elected by a plurality of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote.

 

Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive ratably the dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by its board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. If there is a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of its common stock would be entitled to ratable distribution of its assets remaining after the payment in full of liabilities and any preferential rights of any then outstanding preferred stock.

 

Holders of our common stock will have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. After the distribution, all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock will be fully paid and non-assessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that the Company may designate and issue in the future.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company’s board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), and by the Company’s Articles, to issue up to 10 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series without further action by the holders of its common stock. The Company’s board of directors will have the discretion, subject to limitations prescribed by the NRS and by the Articles, to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Nevada Law

 

Provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, would be expected to discourage certain types of takeover practices and takeover bids our Board may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us will outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

Blank Check Preferred

 

Our articles of incorporation permit our Board to issue preferred stock with voting, conversion and exchange rights that could negatively affect the voting power or other rights of our common stockholders. The issuance of our preferred stock could delay or prevent a change of control of our Company.

 

Amendments to our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation may not be amended by stockholder action alone.

 

Nevada Anti-Takeover Statute

 

We may be subject to Nevada’s Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute (Nevada Corporation Law Sections 78.411-78.444) which prohibits an “interested stockholder” from entering into a “combination” with the corporation, unless certain conditions are met.

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

General

 

On July 22, 2020, we entered into the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement with EMC2. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, EMC2 has agreed to purchase from us up to $100,000,000 of our common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we have filed with the SEC the registration statement that includes this prospectus to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares that have been or may be issued to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the time we signed the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, we issued 1,415,094 Commitment Shares and 2,000,000 Commitment Warrants to EMC2 as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement.

 

We do not have the right to commence any sales to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement until certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, all of which are outside of EMC2’s control, have been satisfied, including the registration statement that includes this prospectus being declared effective by the SEC. Thereafter, we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, direct EMC2 to purchase shares of our common stock in amounts up to 100,000 shares on any single business day, which amounts may be increased to up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of sale but in no event greater than $500,000 per such purchase. The purchase price per share is based on the market price of our common stock immediately preceding the time of sale as computed under the Purchase Agreement. EMC2 may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

 

Under applicable rules of The NASDAQ Capital Market, in no event may we issue or sell to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement share of our common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap (which is 11,993,271 shares, or 19.99% of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement), unless (i) we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of our common stock to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $1.59 which represents the closing consolidated bid price of our common stock on July 22, 2020, plus an incremental amount to account for our issuance of the Commitment Shares to EMC2), such that the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are exempt from the Exchange Cap limitation under applicable NASDAQ rules. In any event, the Purchase Agreement specifically provides that we may not issue or sell any shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement if such issuance or sale would breach any applicable rules or regulations of The NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

The Purchase Agreement also prohibits us from directing EMC2 to purchase any shares of common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by EMC2 and its affiliates, would result in EMC2 and its affiliates exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement we have agreed to an expense reimbursement of up to ½% of the purchase amount to EMC2.

 

Purchase of Shares Under the Purchase Agreement

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, on any business day selected by us, we shall have the right to direct EMC2, by our delivery to EMC2 of a purchase notice, to purchase the number of shares specified in such notice, up to 100,000 shares of our common stock, on any such business day, which we refer to as a Regular Purchase. The Company and EMC2 may mutually agree to increase the number of shares per Regular Purchase to as much as an additional 2,000,000 shares per business day. These share amounts shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction. In no event shall the purchase amount of a Regular Purchase exceed $500,000 per business day, unless the Company and EMC2 mutually agree. We may deliver additional purchase notices to EMC2 from time to time so long as the most recent purchase has been completed. The purchase price per share for each such Regular Purchase will be equal to the lower of:

 

·95% of the lowest sale price for our common stock on the purchase date of such shares; or
·the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our common stock during the 10 consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date of such shares.

 

In addition to Regular Purchases described above, we may also direct EMC2, on any business day on which we have properly submitted a Regular Purchase notice for the maximum number of allowed shares, to purchase an additional amount of our common stock, which we refer to as a VWAP Purchase, not to exceed 30% of the aggregate shares of our common stock traded during normal trading hours on the purchase date. The Company may deliver additional VWAP Purchase notices to EMC2 from time to time so long as the most recent purchase has been completed. The purchase price per share for each such VWAP Purchase will be equal to the lower of:

 

·91% of the volume weighted average price for our common stock during normal trading hours on (i) the VWAP Purchase date, if the aggregate shares of our common stock traded on the purchase date has not exceeded a volume maximum calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and has not fallen below a minimum price threshold calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement (the “Floor Price), or (ii) the portion of the trading day of the purchase date (calculated starting at the beginning of normal trading hours) until such time at which the volume of shares of our common stock traded has exceeded such volume maximum or fallen below such minimum Floor Price; or
·the closing sale price of our common stock on the VWAP Purchase date.

 

 28 
 

The Company and EMC2 shall not cause any sales under the Purchase Agreement on any purchase date where the closing sale price of our stock is less than is less than the Floor Price.

 

Other than as described above, there are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to EMC2.

 

Events of Default

 

An “Event of Default” under the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred at any time as any of the following events occur:

 

·the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order), or any required prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus are unavailable for the resale by EMC2 of our common stock offered hereby, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of 10 consecutive business days or for more than an aggregate of 30 business days in any 365-day period;
·the suspension from trading or failure of our common stock to be listed on our principal market for a period of three (3) consecutive business days
·the delisting of our common stock from our principal market, and our common stock is not immediately thereafter trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market (or nationally recognized successor thereto);
·the failure for any reason by our transfer agent to issue shares of our common stock to EMC2 within three (3) business days after the applicable Purchase date or VWAP Purchase date (as applicable) which EMC2 is entitled to receive such shares;
·any breach of any representation or warranty (as of the dates made), covenant or other term or condition under the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrant if such breach could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect and except, in the case of a breach of a covenant which is reasonably curable, only if such breach continues uncured for a period of at least five (5) Business Days;
·if any proceeding is commenced against us pursuant to or within the meaning of any bankruptcy law;
·if we, pursuant to or within the meaning of any bankruptcy law, (i) commence a voluntary case, (ii) consent to the entry of an order for relief against us in an involuntary case, (iii) consent to the appointment of a custodian of all or substantially all of our property, (iv) make a general assignment for the benefit of our creditors or (v) become insolvent;
·a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any bankruptcy law that (i) is for relief against us in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of our property, or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company;
·if at any time we are not eligible to transfer our common stock electronically as DWAC Shares; or
·if at any time the Exchange Cap is reached, to the extent applicable.

 

EMC2 has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement any time an Events of Default exists without any liability or payment to the Company. So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if any event which, after notice and/or lapse of time, would become an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing, all of which are outside of EMC2’s control, we may not direct and EMC2 shall not be obligated to purchase any shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement.

Termination

 

The Purchase Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date that we sell, and EMC2 purchases the full aggregate amount of $100,000,000 of our common stock as provided herein, without any action or notice on the part of any party and without any liability whatsoever of any party to any other party.

 

If for any reason or for no reason, the full aggregate amount of $100,000,000 of our common stock has not been purchased as provided herein, the Purchase Agreement shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, without any action or notice on the part of any party and without any liability whatsoever of any party to any other party.

 

Our Termination Rights

 

We have the unconditional right, at any time, for any reason and without any payment or liability to us, to give notice to EMC2 to terminate the Purchase Agreement. In the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against us, the Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate without action of any party.

 

No Short-Selling or Hedging by EMC2

 

EMC2 has agreed that neither it nor any of its agents, representatives and affiliates shall in any manner whatsoever enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any (i) “short sale” (as such term is defined in Section 242.200 of Regulation SHO of the 1934 Act) of our common stock or (ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to our common stock during any time prior to the termination of the Purchase Agreement.

 

 29 
 

Prohibitions on Variable Rate Transactions

 

There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement other than a prohibition on entering into a “Variable Rate Transaction,” as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

 

Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement on Our Stockholders

 

All 11,993,271 shares registered in this offering which have been or may be issued or sold by us to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement are expected to be freely tradable. It is anticipated that shares registered in this offering will be sold over a period of up to 36-months commencing on the date that the registration statement including this prospectus becomes effective. The sale by EMC2 of a significant number of shares registered in this offering at any given time could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Sales of our common stock to EMC2, if any, will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to EMC2 all, some or none of the additional shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If and when we do sell shares to EMC2, after EMC2 has acquired the shares, EMC2 may resell all, some or none of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to EMC2 by us under the Purchase Agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with EMC2 may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any additional sales of our shares to EMC2 and the Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to direct EMC2 to purchase up to $100,000,000 of our common stock. Depending on the price per share at which we sell our common stock to EMC2 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we may need to sell to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement more shares of our common stock than are offered under this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the $100,000,000 total commitment available to us under the Purchase Agreement. If we choose to do so, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act such additional shares of our common stock, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by EMC2 under this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares we direct EMC2 to purchase under the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Purchase Agreement prohibits us from issuing or selling to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement (i) shares of our common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap, unless we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares in excess of the Exchange Cap or the average price of all applicable sales of our common stock to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement equal or exceed $1.59 such that the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are exempt from the Exchange Cap limitation under applicable NASDAQ rules, and (ii) any shares of our common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by EMC2 and its affiliates, would exceed the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

 

The following table sets forth the amount of gross proceeds we would receive from EMC2 from our sale of shares to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement at varying purchase prices:

 

Assumed Average Purchase Price Per Share   Number of Registered Shares to be Issued if Full Purchase (1)   Percentage of Outstanding Shares After Giving Effect to the Issuance to EMC2 (2)   Proceeds from the Sale of Shares to EMC2 Under the $100M Purchase Agreement
$1.75   10,578,177   17.23%   $18,511,810
$2.50 (3)   10,578,177   17.23%   $26,445,443
3.45   10,578,177   17.23%   $36,494,711
$4.25   10,578,177   17.23%   $44,957,252
$5.00   10,578,177   17.23%   $52,890,885

____________________

  (1) Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to $100,000,000 of our common stock to EMC2, we are only registering 11,993,271 shares of our common stock that may be sold to EMC2 as purchase shares under the Purchase Agreement (together with the 1,415,094 Commitment Shares and 2,000,000 shares underlying the Commitment Warrants we are registering hereunder), which may or may not cover all the shares we ultimately sell to EMC2 under the Purchase Agreement, depending on the purchase price per share. As a result, we have included in this column only those shares that we are registering in this offering. If we seek to issue shares of our common stock, including shares from other transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement under the applicable rules of The NASDAQ Capital Market, in excess of 11,993,271 shares, or 19.99% of the total common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we may be required to seek stockholder approval in order to be in compliance with the rules of The NASDAQ Capital Market.

  (2) The denominator is based on 61,381,452 shares outstanding as of July 22, 2020, adjusted to include the issuance of (i) 1,415,094 Commitment Shares issued to EMC2 upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the number of shares set forth in the adjacent column which we would have sold to EMC2, assuming the purchase price in the adjacent column. The numerator is based on the number of shares issuable under the Purchase Agreement at the corresponding assumed purchase price set forth in the adjacent column.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The common stock offered by this prospectus is being offered by the selling stockholder, EMC2. The common stock may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholder directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus could be effected in one or more of the following methods:

 

·ordinary brokers’ transactions;
·transactions involving cross or block trades;
·through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents;
·“at the market” into an existing market for the common stock;
·in other ways not involving market makers or established business markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents;
·in privately negotiated transactions; or
·any combination of the foregoing.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the state’s registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.

 

EMC2 is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.

 

EMC2 has informed us that it intends to use an unaffiliated broker-dealer to effectuate all sales, if any, of the common stock that it may purchase from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Such sales will be made at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price. Each such unaffiliated broker-dealer will be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. EMC2 has informed us that each such broker-dealer will receive commissions from EMC2 that will not exceed customary brokerage commissions.

 

Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the selling stockholder and/or purchasers of the common stock for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent. The compensation paid to a particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor EMC2 can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive.

 

We know of no existing arrangements between EMC2 or any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares offered by this prospectus. At the time a particular offer of shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the names of any agents, underwriters or dealers and any compensation from the selling stockholder, and any other required information.

 

We will pay the expenses incident to the registration, offering, and sale of the shares to EMC2. We have agreed to indemnify EMC2 and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of shares of common stock offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. EMC2 has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from certain written information furnished to us by EMC2 specifically for use in this prospectus or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities.

 

EMC2 has represented to us that at no time prior to the Purchase Agreement has EMC2 or its agents, representatives or affiliates engaged in or effected, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, any short sale (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of our common stock or any hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to our common stock. EMC2 agreed that during the term of the Purchase Agreement, it, its agents, representatives or affiliates will not enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any of the foregoing transactions.

 

We have advised EMC2 that it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling stockholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities offered by this prospectus.

 

This offering will terminate on the date that all shares offered by this prospectus have been sold by EMC2.

 

Our common stock is quoted on The OTC Markets under the symbol “GWHP”.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA AND FORECASTS

 

Market data and certain industry data and forecasts included in this prospectus were obtained from internal company surveys, market research, publicly available information, reports of governmental agencies and industry publications and surveys. We have relied upon industry publications as our primary sources for third-party industry data and forecasts. Industry surveys, publications and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. We have not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources, nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon therein. Similarly, internal surveys, industry forecasts and market research, which we believe to be reliable based upon our management’s knowledge of the industry, have not been independently verified. Forecasts are particularly likely to be inaccurate, especially over long periods of time. In addition, we do not know what assumptions regarding general economic growth were used in preparing the forecasts we cite. Statements as to our market position are based on recently available data. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding our industry data presented herein, our estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus. While we believe our internal business research is reliable and market definitions are appropriate, neither such research nor definitions have been verified by any independent source. This prospectus may only be used for the purpose for which it has been published.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Global WholeHealth Partners Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global WholeHealth Partners Corporation as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

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

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GLOBAL WHOLEHEALTH PARTNERS CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019

 

NOTE 1 – Organization and Going Concern

 

Organization

 

Global WholeHealth Partners Corporation was incorporated on March 7, 2013 in the State of Nevada under the name Texas Jack Oil and Gas Corp. On May 9, 2019, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect a change of name to Global WholeHealth Partners Corporation to align the company name with its focus on health care related development and products. The Company’s ticker symbol changed to GWHP.

 

The Company was originally organized for the purpose of exploration of Oil and Gas. However, the Company was unable to establish an oil and gas concern and was abandoned in 2016. On February 27, 2019, the Clark County District Court of Nevada appointed Barbara Bauman as custodian to the Company. The custodian reestablished the Company in good standing.

 

On May 9, 2019, the Board reverse split (1-for-500) the outstanding Common Shares of 58,172,000 to 116,358 shares.

 

May 23, 2019, the Company and LionsGate Funding Group LLC (“LionsGate”), owner of a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of May 23, 2019, entered into a Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) which closed on June 27, 2019. Pursuant the SPA, the Company issued 56,000,000 shares of common stock to LionsGate in exchange for 100% of their interests in Global WholeHealth Partners Corp., a private Wyoming corporation incorporated on April 9, 2019 (“Global Private”). Global Private has contacts with suppliers and contract manufacturers in the In vitro diagnostic industry, with rights to sell rapid diagnostic tests, such as the following 6 minute rapid whole blood Ebola Test, 6 minute whole blood Zika test, 8 minute whole blood rapid TB test and 75 plus other tests more than 40 which are FDA approved. Due to the common control of the Company and Global Private, pursuant to ASC 805-50-25, “Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control”, the SPA was accounted for as a transfer of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities under the predecessor value method of accounting. Financial statement presentation under the predecessor values method of accounting as a result of a business combination between entities under common control requires the receiving entity (i.e., the Company) to report the results of operations as if both entities had been combined as of the beginning of the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include both entities’ full results since the inception of Global Private.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs to allow it to continue as a going concern.


As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred negative operating cash flows of $685,136 for the year ended June 30, 2020 and has an accumulated deficit of $4,748,609 from inception through June 30, 2020. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable.

 

In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Historically, the Company has relied upon internally generated funds, and funds from the sale of stock, issuance of promissory notes and loans from its shareholders and private investors to finance its operations and growth. Management is planning to raise necessary additional funds for working capital through loans and/or additional sales of its common stock. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Should the Company be unable to raise this amount of capital its operating plans will be limited to the amount of capital that it can access. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which will be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

Global WholeHealth Partners Corp, a private Wyoming corporation was incorporated on April 9, 2019 to receive private investor funds and aggregate certain in vitro diagnostic assets.

 

These consolidated financial statements presented are those of Global WholeHealth Partners Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Global Private. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Accounting estimates

 

 38 
 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory cost is determined on a weighted average basis in accordance with ASC 330-10-30-9. Provisions are made to reduce slow-moving, obsolete, or unusable inventories to their estimated useful or scrap values. When necessary, the Company establishes reserves for this purpose.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from operations through the sale of products. Product revenue is comprised of the sale of consumables. To date, all products sold have been fully paid for in advance of shipment.

 

Revenue is recognized when control of products and services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive from the customer in exchange for those products and services. This process involves identifying the contract with the customer, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the contract price, allocating the contract price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, if applicable, and recognizing revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and is separately identified in the contract. The Company considers a performance obligation satisfied once it has transferred control of a good or service to the customer, meaning the customer has the ability to use and obtain the benefit of the good or service. The Company recognizes revenue for satisfied performance obligations only when it determines there are no uncertainties regarding payment terms or transfer of control.

 

Revenue from product sales is generally recognized upon shipment to the end customer, which is when control of the product is deemed to be transferred. Invoicing typically occurs prior to shipment and the term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.

 

Revenue is recorded net of discounts, and sales taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities. Sales commissions are recorded as selling and marketing expenses when incurred.

 

The Company records any payments received from customers prior to the Company fulfilling its performance obligation(s) as deferred revenue.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

 

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are principally cash. The Company’s policy is to place its cash in high quality financial institutions. The Company does not believe significant credit risk exists with respect to these institutions.

 

Significant Customers

 

The Company had three customers that represented 87.6% of revenue (59.6%, 17.4% and 10.6%) for the year ended June 30, 2020

 

Leases

 

The Company recognizes leases with a term of greater than a year on the balance sheet by recording right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Leases can be classified as either operating leases or finance leases. Operating leases will result in straight-line lease expense, while finance leases will result in front-loaded expense. The Company’s lease consists of an operating lease for office space. The Company does not recognize a lease liability or right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for short-term leases. Instead, the Company recognizes short-term lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.

 

Derivatives

 

All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet. The Company has determined fair values using market based pricing models incorporating readily available prices and or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity) that requires judgment and estimates.

 

 39 
 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC 820 and ASC 825 for disclosure and measurement of the fair value of its financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

 

The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:

 

  Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
  Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
  Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credits and loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions, if any, taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties are recorded as a component of interest expense or other expense, respectively.

 

Related-Party Transactions

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal stockholders of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal stockholders of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal where one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all material related-party transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as compensation or distribution to related parties depending on the transaction.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of convertible notes. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.

 

The potentially dilutive securities that would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders. The anti-dilutive securities are as follows (in common stock equivalent shares):

 

   Year Ended
June 30, 2020
  Year Ended
June 30, 2019
Convertible promissory notes   10,727    —   

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs primarily consist of research contracts for the advancement of product development. The Company expenses all research and development costs in the period incurred.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Stock Based Compensation.  ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to directors, employees and consultants, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values.

 40 
 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative non-governmental US GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification.

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), whereby lessees will be required to recognize for all leases at the commencement date a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statement and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company adopted the new standard on July 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements due to the Company’s leases being for periods of one year or less.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a free-standing equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have a material accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company adopted ASU 2017-11 effective July 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments made to non-employees so the accounting for such payments is substantially the same as those made to employees. Under this ASU, share based awards to non-employees will be measured at fair value on the grant date of the awards, entities will need to assess the probability of satisfying performance conditions if any are present, and awards will continue to be classified according to ASC 718 upon vesting which eliminates the need to reassess classification upon vesting, consistent with awards granted to employees. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 effective July 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2019-12 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to us, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit discussion. We believe that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – Stockholder’s Equity

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company has Preferred stock: $0.001 par value; 10,000,000 shares authorized with no shares issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

During the year ended August 31, 2020, the number of shares increased by 3,850,000 as a result of the Company selling 2,000,000 shares at $0.01 per share to LionsGate in exchange for cash of $20,000 and on the May 8, 2020, issuance 1,850,000 shares valued at $2.00 as a bonus for prior service, including related party issuances of a) 500,000 shares to Charles Strongo, CEO; and b) 750,000 shares to LionsGate.

 41 
 

NOTE 4 – Related Party Transactions

 

During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company received $20,000 upon the sale of 2,000,000 shares of common stock to LionsGate for $0.01 per share.

 

From time-to-time the Company receives shareholder advances to cover operating costs. During the year ended June 30, 2020, LionsGate provided advances totaling $564,715 which was used to pay professional fees of $57,000, general costs of $29,965 and research studies for the development of CoVid-19 related tests of $477,750. On March 30, 2020, LionsGate forgave $443,750. See Related Party Note below for additional information.

 

The Company utilizes the R&D capabilities of Pan Probe Biotech to perform studies in validation of the Company’s CoVid-19 tests. Dr. Shujie Cui is the Company’s Chief Science Officer and 100% owner of Pan Probe. During fiscal 2020 the Company paid a total of $511,056 to Pan Probe, including $465,250 directly from LionsGate as part of the amounts described above

 

Related Party Note

 

On March 29, 2020, the Company issued a Promissory Note (the “Note”) to LionsGate in the amount of $506,625 which was equivalent to the advances made to the Company up to March 29, 2020. On March 30, 2020, LionsGate decided it would be in the best interests of the Company to forgive the portion of the Note related to testing costs which totaled $443,750 as of March 30, 2020. As a result, the Company recognized an increase to additional paid-in capital of $443,750 leaving a Note balance of $62,875. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, LionsGate made payments totaling $58,090 on behalf of the Company with said funds added to the balance of the Note bringing the note balance to $120,965. The Note was amended on June 30, 2020 (“Note Amendment”). Pursuant to the Note and Note Amendment, the terms provide for total funding of up to $585,000 or an additional $78,375 as of March 30, 2020 or an additional $20,285 as of June 30, 2020. The Note bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum and the principal and interest is due and payable in full on June 30, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”). If not paid by the Maturity Date, a 5% penalty will be added to the Note and the term will extend for an additional 90 days.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $1,316 of interest expense related to the Note.

 

The Note was issued by the Company under the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as amended and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as the securities were issued to accredited investors, without a view to distribution, and were not issued through any general solicitation or advertisement.

 

NOTE 5 – Convertible Promissory Notes

 

On April 18, 2020, the Company issued five separate unsecured convertible promissory notes in exchange for $95,000 (the "Convertible Notes"). Each Convertible Note contains the same terms and conditions. The Convertible Notes bear interest of 8%, mature in six months on October 17, 2020 and are convertible at any time into shares of restricted common stock at a conversion price of $9.00 per share. The debt discount attributable to the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature amounted to $42,224 for the Vista Note and is being accreted over the term of the Vista Note.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $1,541 of interest expense and $17,075 of accretion related to the Convertible Notes.

 

NOTE 6 – Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets at June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

 

   2020  2019
Deferred tax assets:          
Net operating loss carryforwards  $166,545   $42,336 
Statutory tax rate   21%   21%
Total deferred tax assets   34,974    8,891 
Less: valuation allowance   (34,974)   (8,891)
Net deferred tax asset  $—     $—   

 

A reconciliation between the amount of income tax benefit determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory income tax rate to pre-tax loss for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

 

   2020  2019
 Federal Statutory Rate   899,961    6,482 
 Nondeductible expenses   (873,877    (5,082 
 Change in allowance on deferred tax assets   26,084    1,400 
    —      —   

 

 42 
 

The net increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $26,084 and $1,400 for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Due to the uncertainty of realizing the deferred tax asset, management has recorded a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the Company has net U.S. operating loss carry forwards at June 30, 2020 available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, of $166,545. The utilization of the tax net operating loss carry forwards may be limited due to ownership changes that have occurred as a result of sales of common stock.

 

The fiscal years 2017 through 2019 remain open to examination by federal authorities and other jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

 

NOTE 7 – Subsequent Events

 

Management has reviewed material events subsequent of the period ended June 30, 2020 and prior to the filing of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”.

 

On July 13, 2020 and August 3, 2020, the Company and Geneva Roth Remark Holdings, Inc. ("Geneva") entered into separate and identical Securities Purchase Agreements (the "Geneva SPAs") Pursuant to the Geneva SPAs, Geneva and the Company entered into separate and identical Convertible Promissory Notes also dated as of July 13, 2020 and August 3, 2020 for principal amounts of $63,000 and $55,000, respectively (the "Geneva CPNs"). Pursunt to the terms of the Geneva CPNs, the Company received net proceeds of $60,000 and $52,000 (each notes proceeds were net of $3,000 in legal fees). The Geneva CPNs mature in one year, accrue interest of 10% and, after 180 days, are convertible into shares of common stock any time at a conversion price equal to 58% of the lowest trading price during the twenty trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. Geneva has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Geneva CPNs and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Geneva CPNs represent a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. The Geneva CPNs also provide for penalties and rescission rights if the Company does not deliver shares of our common stock upon conversion within the required timeframes. In the event of default, the note interest rate increases to 22%.

 

On July 22, 2020, Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “EMC2 SPA”) and a Registration Rights Agreement with EMC2 Capital, LLC (“EMC2 Capital”) pursuant to which EMC2 Capital agreed to invest up to One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) to purchase the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price as defined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement was an inducement to EMC2 Capital to execute and deliver the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, whereby the Company agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and applicable state securities laws, with respect to the shares of common stock issuable for EMC2 Capital’s investment pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. No shares have been sold to and purchased by EMC2 Capital as of the date of this report.

 

Concurrently with the July 22, 2020 Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Warrant with EMC2 Capital (the “EMC2 Warrant”) to subscribe for a purchase from the Company up to Two Million (2,000,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The EMC2 Warrant has an initial exercise price of $1.59, the closing price of our common stock on July 22, 2020, is non-cancellable, vests upon issuance and expires on the fifth anniversary of the EMC2 Warrant date of issuance.

 

The foregoing Geneva SPA, Geneva CPNs and EMC2 SPA were issued by the Company under the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as amended and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as the securities were issued to accredited investors, without a view to distribution, and were not issued through any general solicitation or advertisement.

 

On July 9, 2020 and July 31, 2020, the Company received $50,000 and $40,000, respectively, from Dr. Scott Ford, Director, in exchange for restricted common stock at a price of $2.00 per share.

 

On July 10, 2020, the Company made a payment to LG of $60,000 in partial payment of the Note.

 

On August 6, 2020, the Company made a payment to LG of $50,000 in partial payment of the Note.

GLOBAL WHOLEHEALTH PARTNERS CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

 

NOTE 1 –Organization, Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

Organization

 

Global WholeHealth Partners Corporation was incorporated on March 7, 2013 in the State of Nevada. On May 9, 2019, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect a change of name to Global WholeHealth Partners Corporation. The Company’s ticker symbol changed to GWHP.

 

The Company sells and develop in-vitro diagnostic products, including rapid diagnostic tests, such as the COVID-19 Test, 6 minute rapid whole blood Ebola Test, 6 minute whole blood Zika test, 8 minute whole blood rapid TB test and over 75 other tests.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Global WholeHealth Partners Corporation and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary, Global WholeHealth Partners Corp, a private Wyoming corporation, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

 

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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2020, results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the periods presented due to net taxable losses. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

In December 2019, an outbreak of the COVID-19 virus was reported in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic and on March 13, 2020, President Donald J. Trump declared the virus a national emergency in the United States. This highly contagious disease has spread to most of the countries in the world and throughout the United States, creating a serious impact on customers, workforces and suppliers, disrupting economies and financial markets, and potentially leading to a world-wide economic downturn. It has caused a disruption of the normal operations of many businesses, including the temporary closure or scale-back of business operations and/or the imposition of either quarantine or remote work or meeting requirements for employees, either by government order or on a voluntary basis. The pandemic may adversely affect our operations, our employees and our employee productivity. It may also impact the ability of our subcontractors, partners, and suppliers to operate and fulfill their contractual obligations, and result in an increase in costs, delays or disruptions in performance. Our employees are working remotely and using various technologies to perform their functions. In reaction to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States, many businesses have instituted social distancing policies, including the closure of offices and worksites and deferring planned business activity. The disruption and volatility in the global and domestic capital markets may increase the cost of capital and limit our ability to access capital. Both the health and economic aspects of the COVID-19 virus are highly fluid and the future course of each is uncertain. For these reasons and other reasons that may come to light if the coronavirus pandemic and associated protective or preventative measures expand, we may experience a material adverse effect on our business operations, revenues and financial condition; however, its ultimate impact is highly uncertain and subject to change.

Going Concern

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs to allow it to continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred negative operating cash flows of $424,089 for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and has an accumulated deficit of $5,181,426 from inception through December 31, 2020. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable.

 

In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Historically, the Company has relied upon internally generated funds, and funds from the sale of stock, issuance of promissory notes and loans from its shareholders and private investors to finance its operations and growth. Management is planning to raise necessary additional funds for working capital through loans and/or additional sales of its common stock. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Should the Company be unable to raise this amount of capital its operating plans will be limited to the amount of capital that it can access. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which will be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

We evaluate all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for consideration of their applicability. ASUs not included in our disclosures were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

 

None.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

Global WholeHealth Partners Corp, a private Wyoming corporation was incorporated on April 9, 2019 to receive private investor funds and aggregate certain in vitro diagnostic assets.

 

These consolidated financial statements presented are those of Global WholeHealth Partners Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Global Private. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is comprised of finished goods and stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined on a weighted average basis in accordance with ASC 330-10-30-9. Provisions are made to reduce slow-moving, obsolete, or unusable inventories to their estimated useful or scrap values. When necessary, the Company establishes reserves for this purpose.

 

 49 
 

Equipment

 

Fixed assets are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements are capitalized, while repair and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in that period.

 

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are:

 

    Estimated
    Useful Lives
Computer equipment and software   3 years
Equipment, furniture and fixtures   5 years

  

Other intangible assets

 

Other definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives. The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from operations through the sale of products. Product revenue is comprised of the sale of consumables. To date, all products sold have been fully paid for in advance of shipment.

 

Revenue is recognized when control of products and services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive from the customer in exchange for those products and services. This process involves identifying the contract with the customer, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the contract price, allocating the contract price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, if applicable, and recognizing revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and is separately identified in the contract. The Company considers a performance obligation satisfied once it has transferred control of a good or service to the customer, meaning the customer has the ability to use and obtain the benefit of the good or service. The Company recognizes revenue for satisfied performance obligations only when it determines there are no uncertainties regarding payment terms or transfer of control.

 

Revenue from product sales is generally recognized upon shipment to the end customer, which is when control of the product is deemed to be transferred. Invoicing typically occurs prior to shipment and the term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.

 

Revenue is recorded net of discounts, and sales taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities. Sales commissions are recorded as selling and marketing expenses when incurred.

 

The Company records any payments received from customers prior to the Company fulfilling its performance obligation(s) as deferred revenue.

 

The Company had one customer that represented 96.0% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The Company had one customer that represented 60.6% of revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2020. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of sales during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of convertible notes. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.

 

The potentially dilutive securities that would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders. The anti-dilutive securities are as follows (in common stock equivalent shares):

 

    December 31,
    2020   2019
Convertible promissory notes     388,629       —    

 

NOTE 3 – Equipment

 

Equipment consists of the following:

 

    December 31,   June 30,
    2020   2020
Computers, office equipment and software   $ 3,505     $ —    
      Total equipment     3,505       —    
Accumulated depreciation     (485 )     —    
Equipment, net   $ 3,020     $ —    

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company purchased $3,505 of computer equipment. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized depreciation expense of $291 and $485, respectively.

 

NOTE 4 – Stockholder’s Equity

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company has Preferred stock: $0.001 par value; 10,000,000 shares authorized with no shares issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

The Company has 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized of which 59,966,358 shares were issued and outstanding and 514,298 shares paid for but unissued as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

 

On July 9, 2020, the Company and Dr. Scott Ford, Director, entered into a subscription agreement for the purchase 45,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share which represents a 50% discount to the share price due to the lack of marketability and the thinly traded nature of our common stock on the OTC.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Nevada Revised Statutes, NRS 78.7502 Discretionary and mandatory indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents: General provisions.

 

1. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if the person:

 

(a) Is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or

 

(b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.

 

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

 

2. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if the person:

 

(a) Is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or

 

(b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

 

Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

 56 
 

3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.

 

(Added to NRS by 1997, 694; A 2001, 3175)

 

The Registrant also maintains a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that insures the Registrant’s directors and officers against such liabilities as are customarily covered by such policies.

 

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

During the past three years, we have sold and issued the following unregistered securities.

 

On April 28, 2019, the Company issued 64,000 shares to Barbara Bauman, former executive officer, valued at $32,000, or the par value of our common stock (pre Reverse Split, defined below) at the time of issuance, in order to reimburse Mrs. Bauman for $7,798 of expenses paid on behalf of the Company and to compensate Mrs. Bauman as to $24,202 for her valuable services.

 

On May 23, 2019, the Company and LionsGate Funding Group LLC (“LionsGate”), owner of a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of May 23, 2019, entered into a Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) which closed on June 27, 2019. Pursuant the SPA, the Company issued 56,000,000 shares of common stock to LionsGate in exchange for 100% of their interests in Global WholeHealth Partners Corp., a private Wyoming corporation incorporated on April 9, 2019 (“Global Private”). Global Private has contacts with suppliers and contract manufacturers in the In vitro diagnostic industry, with rights to sell rapid diagnostic tests, such as the following 6 minute rapid whole blood Ebola Test, 6 minute whole blood Zika test, 8 minute whole blood rapid TB test and 75 plus other tests more than 40 which are FDA approved. Due to the common control of the Company and Global Private, pursuant to ASC 805-50-25, “Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control”, the SPA was accounted for as a transfer of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities under the predecessor value method of accounting. Financial statement presentation under the predecessor values method of accounting as a result of a business combination between entities under common control requires the receiving entity (i.e., the Company) to report the results of operations as if both entities had been combined as of the beginning of the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include both entities’ full results since the inception of Global Private.

 

On March 29, 2020, the Company issued a Promissory Note (the “Note”) to LionsGate in the amount of $506,625 which was equivalent to the advances made to the Company up to March 29, 2020. On March 30, 2020, LG decided it would be in the best interests of the Company to forgive the portion of the Note related to testing costs which totaled $443,750. As a result, the Company recognized $443,750 of other income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 leaving a Note balance of $62,875. The terms of the Note provide total funding of up to $585,000 or an additional $78,375. The Note bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum and the principal and interest is due and payable in full in 90 days on June 30, 2020. If not paid within the 90 days a 5% penalty will be added to the Note and the term will extend for an additional 90 days.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the number of shares increased by 2,000,000 as a result of the Company selling 2,000,000 shares at $0.01 per share to LionsGate in exchange for cash of $20,000.

Pursunt to the terms of the Geneva CPNs, the Company received net proceeds of $60,000 and $52,000 (each notes proceeds were net of $3,000 in legal fees). The Geneva CPNs mature in one year, accrue interest of 10% and, after 180 days, are convertible into shares of common stock any time at a conversion price equal to 58% of the lowest trading price during the twenty trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. Geneva has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Geneva CPNs and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Geneva CPNs represent a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company. The Geneva CPNs also provide for penalties and rescission rights if the Company does not deliver shares of our common stock upon conversion within the required timeframes. In the event of default, the note interest rate increases to 22%.

 

On July 22, 2020, Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “EMC2 SPA”) and a Registration Rights Agreement with EMC2 Capital, LLC (“EMC2 Capital”) pursuant to which EMC2 Capital agreed to invest up to One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) to purchase the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price as defined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 58 
 

The Registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(a) The Registrant will provide to the underwriter at the closing as specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

 

(b) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4)or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(c) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
