CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements reflecting assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events that are intended as “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements included or incorporated by reference in this report, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements appear in a number of places, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements represent our reasonable judgment about the future based on various factors and using numerous assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “will,” “would” and other words of similar meaning, or the negatives of such terms or other variations. These include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the following:
| ● | projected operating or financial results, including anticipated cash flows used in operations; |
| ● | expectations regarding capital expenditures, research and development expenses and other payments; |
| ● | our beliefs and assumptions relating to our liquidity position, including our ability to obtain additional financing; and |
| ● | our beliefs, assumptions and expectations about the regulatory approval for our technology including, but not limited to our ability to obtain regulatory approval in a timely manner or at all. |
Any or all of our forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They may be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors including, among others:
| ● | our ability to continue as a going concern; |
| ● | our ability to remain current in filing all reports required to be filed by us under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; |
| ● | our ability to maintain pricing; |
| ● | our ability to employ skilled and qualified workers; |
| ● | the fact that we have incurred significant losses since inception, expect to incur net losses for at least the next several years and may never achieve or sustain profitability; |
| ● | the loss of key management personnel upon whom we depend; |
| ● | our ability to fund our operations; |
| ● | inadequate insurance coverage for certain losses or liabilities; |
| ● | our ability to navigate the regulatory approval process in the U.S. and other countries, and our success in obtaining required regulatory approvals on a timely basis; |
| ● | commercial development of technologies that compete with our technology; |
| ● | the actual and perceived effectiveness of our technology, and how the technology compares to competitive technologies; |
| ● | the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of our technology; |
| ● | adverse effects of the recent and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; |
| ● | the strength of our intellectual property protection, and our success in avoiding infringement of the intellectual property rights of others; |
| ● | regulations affecting the health care industry; |
| ● | adverse developments in our research and development activities; |
| ● | potential liability if our technology causes illness, injury or death, or adverse publicity from any such events; |
| ● | our ability to operate our business efficiently, manage capital expenditures and costs (including general and administrative expenses) and obtain financing when required; and |
| ● | our expectations with respect to future licensing, partnering or acquisition activity. |
In addition, there may be other factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from the results referenced in the forward-looking statements, some of which are included elsewhere in this report, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on January 13, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), particularly in the ‘Risk Factors” section of such report, that could cause results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make herein. Many of these factors will be important in determining our actual future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement should be relied upon. Our actual future results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements contained in this report are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements apply only as of the date they are made, and we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Theralink Technologies, Inc., formerly OncBioMune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), was a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of novel cancer immunotherapy products, with a proprietary vaccine technology. On June 5, 2020, the Company acquired the assets (the “Asset Sale Transaction”) of Avant Diagnostics, Inc., a Nevada corporation established in 2009 (“Avant”) pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 12, 2020, between the Company and Avant (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). Avant is a commercial-stage precision medicine and molecular data-generating company that focuses on the development and commercialization of a series of patented, proprietary data-generating assays that may provide important actionable information for physicians and patients, as well as biopharmaceutical companies, in the area of oncology.
Pursuant
to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Avant and assumed certain of its liabilities.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Avant sold to the Company, all of Avant’s title and
interest in all the assets, properties and rights of every kind and nature, whether real, personal or mixed, tangible or intangible (including
goodwill), wherever located and whether existing or hereafter acquired, except for the specific excluded assets, which relate to, or
are used or held for use in connection with, Avant’s business. The Company also hired Avant’s employees upon consummation
of the Asset Sale Transaction. As consideration for the Asset Sale Transaction, the Company issued to Avant shares of a newly created Series D-1 Preferred
Stock which held
On July 11, 2021, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, OncBioMune, LLC, was administratively dissolved by the Louisiana Secretary of State for failing to meet its filing requirements and pay the associated fees (see Note 3).
In
connection with the Asset Sale Transaction, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement, effective June 5, 2020, by and among OncBioMune
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the investors named therein, whereby the Company agreed to exchange certain convertible promissory notes and
warrants outstanding for shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company and options to purchase shares of the Company’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, OncBioMune Sub Inc. OncBioMune Sub Inc. holds the patents used in the prior business of OncBioMune Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. In July 2021, certain of those investors exercised their options to purchase the shares of OncBioMune Sub Inc. On July 26, 2021,
the Company transferred all shares of OncBioMune Sub Inc. held by the Company
to the various investors for gross proceeds of $
On
July 30, 2021, the Company filed a certificate of designation, preferences and rights of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series
F Certificate of Designation”), with the Nevada Secretary of State to designate shares of its previously authorized preferred
stock as Series F Preferred Stock, par value $per share and a stated value of $
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information, which present the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned, inactive subsidiaries, OncBioMune, LLC. (through dissolution date of July 11, 2021) and OncBioMune Sub, Inc. (through sale date of July 26, 2021), as of December 31, 2021. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Form 10-K filed on January 13, 2022. It is management’s opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and non-recurring adjustments) have been made for the fair presentation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending September 30, 2022.

Going Concern
These
unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements, the Company had net loss and net cash used in operations of $
The Company cannot provide assurance that it will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt or equity capital. Additionally, the current capital resources are not adequate to continue operating and maintaining the business strategy for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The Company will seek to raise capital through additional debt and equity financings to fund its operations in the future.
Although the Company has historically raised capital from sales of equity and from the issuance of promissory notes, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to do so. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail or cease operations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The global pandemic COVID-19, otherwise referred to as the Coronavirus, could impair our ability to raise additional funding or make such funding more costly. The ongoing global pandemic has caused cessation of normal business operations and initially caused capital markets to decline sharply. This could make it more difficult for the Company to access capital. It is currently difficult to estimate with any certainty how long the pandemic and resulting curtailment of business will continue, and its effect on capital markets and the Company’s ability to raise funds is, accordingly, difficult to quantify. In addition, to the extent that any of the Company’s personnel or consultants are affected by the virus, this could cause delays or disruption in our planned research and development activities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the 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 from these estimates. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and year ended September 30, 2021 include, but are not necessarily limited to, the valuation of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, estimates of contingent liabilities, valuation of marketable securities, useful life of property and equipment, valuation of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets, allowances for accounts receivable, estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to the Company on December 31, 2021. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. | |
| Level 2—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. | |
| Level 3—Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information. |

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s investment policy is to preserve principal and maintain liquidity. The Company periodically monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests.
Prepaid Assets
Prepaid assets are carried at amortized cost. Significant prepaid assets as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021 include, but are not necessarily limited to, prepaid insurance, prepaid consulting fees, prepaid equipment maintenance fees and retainers for professional services.
Laboratory Supplies
Laboratory supplies are normally consumed within a year from purchase and any unused laboratory supplies are classified as current asset and reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet as laboratory supplies.
Property and Equipment
Fixed
assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from to
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Pursuant to ASC 505-50 - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, all share-based payments to non-employees, including grants of stock options, were recognized in the consolidated financial statements as compensation expense over the service period of the consulting arrangement or until performance conditions are expected to be met. Using a Black Scholes valuation model, the Company periodically reassessed the fair value of non-employee options until service conditions are met, which generally aligns with the vesting period of the options, and the Company adjusts the expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements accordingly. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may not adopt prior to adopting the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-07 during the period September 30, 2018, and the adoption did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASU Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company provides research and development support to biopharmaceutical companies to assist their drug development programs. In January 2021, the Company began performing tumor profiling to support clinical patient therapeutic intervention. The services provided by the Company are performance obligations under services contracts. These contracts are completed over time and may lead to deferred revenue for services not completed at the end of a period. Management reviews the completion status of all jobs monthly to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize. The Company offers these services to biopharmaceutical companies and to private individuals. The revenue recognized from services provided to private individuals during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and year ended September 30, 2021 were minimal and therefore was not disaggregated for disclosure purposes.
Cost of Revenue
The cost of revenue consists of the cost of labor, supplies and materials.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis and does not bear interest. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition.
Any charges to the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable are charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and the current status of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired.

Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future. The following potentially dilutive equity securities outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per common share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive:

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income tax using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740 - Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The
Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”.
Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position
will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Company had
Related Parties
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 owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases using the method prescribed by ASC 842 – Lease Accounting. The Company assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease at the inception of a contract which is based on (i) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (ii) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (iii) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.
Operating and financing lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. Operating and financing lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470- 20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for convertible instruments. Under the amendments in ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and a convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the interest rate of convertible debt instruments typically will be closer to the coupon interest rate when applying the guidance in Topic 835, Interest. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 provide financial statement users with a simpler and more consistent starting point to perform analyses across entities. The amendments also improve the operability of the guidance and reduce, to a large extent, the complexities in the accounting for convertible instruments and the difficulties with the interpretation and application of the relevant guidance. To further improve the decision usefulness and relevance of the information being provided to users of financial statements, amendments in ASU 2020-06 increased information transparency by making the following amendments to the disclosure for convertible instruments:
| 1. | Added a disclosure objective |
| 2. | Added information about events or conditions that occur during the reporting period that cause conversion contingencies to be met or conversion terms to be significantly changed |
| 3. | Added information on which party controls the conversion rights |
| 4. | Aligned disclosure requirements for contingently convertible instruments with disclosure requirements for other convertible instruments |
| 5. | Required that existing fair value disclosures in Topic 825, Financial Instruments, be provided at the individual convertible instrument level rather than in the aggregate. |
Additionally, for convertible debt instruments with substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, amendments in ASU 2020-06 added disclosures about (1) the fair value amount and the level of fair value hierarchy of the entire instrument for public business entities and (2) the premium amount recorded as paid-in capital.
The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public business entities, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and are allowed to adopt the guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. In applying the modified retrospective method, entities should apply the guidance to transactions outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are adopted. Transactions that were settled (or expired) during prior reporting periods are unaffected. The cumulative effect of the change should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. If an entity elects the fully retrospective method of transition, the cumulative effect of the change should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the first comparative period presented. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 and its adoption did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This amendment is effective for all entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 and its adoption did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Avant provided personalized medical data through its Theralink assays, initially for breast cancer, to assist treating physician in a data-driven process for treatment decision support and to help enable predictive biomarker-based patient therapy selection. Avant was a developer of phosphoproteomic technologies for measuring the activation state of therapeutic targets and signaling pathways, a key metric for biopharmaceuticals, with applications across multiple cancer types, including breast, non-small cell lung, gastrointestinal (“GI”), gynecologic and pancreatic, among others.

The cost of the Asset Sale Transaction was determined in accordance with ASC 805-50-30-1 through 30-2 Business Combinations, which states in part that assets are recognized based on their cost to the acquiring entity, which generally includes the transaction costs of the asset acquisition, and no gain or loss is recognized unless the fair value of noncash assets given as consideration differs from the assets’ carrying amounts on the acquiring entity’s books. If the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of noncash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement is based on either the cost which shall be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements. The following discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. For additional information regarding these risks and uncertainties, please see Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “Risk Factors,” and the risk factors included in our September 30, 2021, Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Special Note Regarding COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in China, and by March 2020 the spread of the virus had resulted in a world-wide pandemic. The U.S. economy was largely shut down by mass quarantines and government mandated stay-at-home orders (the “Orders”) to halt the spread of the virus. These Orders have required some of our employees to work from home when possible, and other employees have been entirely prevented from performing their job duties until the Orders are relaxed or lifted. The COVID-19 pandemic has required alternative selling approaches such as through social media. We may be unable to avoid future reductions in net revenue using these alternative selling approaches that avoid direct contact with our customers. The worldwide response to the pandemic has resulted in a significant downturn in economic activity and there is no assurance that government stimulus programs will successfully restore the economy to the levels that existed before the pandemic. If an economic recession or depression is sustained, it could have a material adverse effect on our business as demand for our technology could decrease.
While some of these Orders were relaxed or lifted in different jurisdictions at various times during the three months ended December 31, 2021, the overall impact of COVID-19 continues to have an adverse impact on business activities around the world. There is no assurance that Orders that were previously relaxed or lifted will not be reinstated as the spread of COVID-19 continues. For example, many jurisdictions have recently reinstated masking orders after test results have showed a resurgence of the pandemic. If COVID-19 infection trends continue to reverse and the pandemic intensifies and expands geographically, its negative impacts on our sales could be more prolonged and may become more severe. The long-term financial impact on our business cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Overview
Theralink is a commercial-stage precision medicine and molecular data-generating company that focuses on the development and commercialization of a series of patented, proprietary data-generating assays that may provide important actionable information for physicians and patients, as well as biopharmaceutical companies, in the area of oncology. Our near-term goal is to continue to commercialize the technology originally developed by Theranostics Health, a company whose assets we acquired in May 2016. The Company differentiates itself by:
| ● | An exclusive license agreement with George Mason University (“GMU”), that has well-published scientists in our area of expertise. | |
| ● | Having access to the Ph.D.’s at GMU who have completed pioneering work in phosphoproteomic-based biomarkers diagnostics. | |
| ● | Domain expertise in cancer biomarker and data-generating laboratory testing data. | |
| ● | Development of proprietary, cutting-edge assays focused on precision oncology care. | |
| ● | Building revenue streams based on our proprietary technology Theralink. | |
| ● | Having a patent portfolio licensed from GMU and the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”). |
Theralink is advancing its patented, proprietary technology in the field of phosphoproteomic research, a sector that has emerged as one of the most exciting new components in the high-growth field of precision molecular diagnostics. The Theralink platform makes it possible to generate an accurate and comprehensive portrait of protein pathway activation in diseased cells from each patient, and thereby determining which individuals may be better responders to certain targeted molecular therapies. The platform enables the quantitative measurement of the level of activation. Moreover, the sensitivity is many times greater than conventional mass spectrometry and other protein immunoassays. Initially spun-out of GMU in 2006, and subsequently elevated to the federal government’s Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (“CMS”) Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) standards, our precision medicine suite may be highly relevant for oncology patient management today that may improve (i) chemotherapy drug selection; (ii) immunotherapy drug selection; and (iii) optimization of combination therapy selection.
The biomarker and data-generating tests may provide biopharmaceutical companies, clinical scientists and physicians with molecular-based guidance as to which patients may benefit from the new, molecular targeted therapeutics being developed and used to treat various life-threatening oncology diseases, as well as existing treatment standards that are recognized as the standard of care in the oncology treatment community. This addresses the core aspect of precision treatment today – identifying which individuals are more likely to respond to specific targeted molecular therapies, thus forming the basis for personalized medicine.
| 30 |
The technology is based upon the pioneering work of three noted scientists, Drs. Lance Liotta, Emanuel Petricoin and Virginia Espina in proteomic-based diagnostics. We benefit from a portfolio of intellectual property derived from licensing agreements with:
| ● | The US Public Health Service (“PHS”), the federal agency that supervises the NIH, which provides us with broad protection around its technology platform; and | |
| ● | GMU which provides access to additional intellectual property around improvements to the technology platform and biomarker signatures that form the basis for future diagnostic products. |
Theralink is committed to advancing the technologies from GMU and the NIH as a platform for the development of new clinical biomarkers and precision medicine. These precision medicine and monitoring products have the potential to provide biopharmaceutical companies and doctors with critical molecular-based knowledge to make the best therapeutic decisions based on a patient’s unique, individual medical needs.
Our plan of operation over the next 12 months is to:
| ● | Establish laboratory Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) to comply with New York, Washington, D.C., and Maryland CLIA, and the College of American Pathologists (“CAP”) standards; | |
| ● | Hire an Assistant Laboratory Director and additional lab techs and sales consultants; | |
| ● | Choose members to sit on our Medical and Scientific Advisory Boards; |
| ● | Continue to validate additional Theralink cancer biomarker technology under CAP/CLIA standards to provide personalized medicine treatment options for biopharmaceutical companies, clinical oncologists and their cancer patients; | |
| ● | Continue to partner with pharmaceutical companies to perform oncology-related data-generating testing services which generate additional revenues and | |
| ● | Continue to seek financing to grow the Company. |
Results of Operations
Comparison for Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
Revenue
| ● | For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, total revenue was $78,975 and $9,790, respectively, an increase of $69,185 or 707%. The increase was primarily attributable to increase in research and development contracts from pharmaceutical companies during the three months ended December 31, 2021. |
Costs of Revenues
| ● | For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, cost of revenue was $43,565 and $1,603, respectively, an increase of $41,962 or 2,618%. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue discussed above. However, the increase in current cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was greater during the 2021 period because the Company was required to purchase expensive third-party samples for one of the pharmaceutical contracts. This increased cost significantly decreased the gross margins for the 2021 period. |
Gross Margin
| ● | For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, gross margin was $35,410 and $8,187, respectively, an increase of $27,223 or 333%. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue and cost of revenue discussed above. |
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, total operating expense amounted to $1,417,426 and $1,620,740, a decrease of $203,314, or 13%.
| 31 |
For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, operating expenses consisted of the following:
Three Months Ended December 31, | ||||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Professional fees | $ | 217,823 | $ | 197,254 | ||||
| Compensation expense | 625,855 | 590,175 | ||||||
| Licensing fees | 36,092 | 30,172 | ||||||
| General and administrative expenses | 537,656 | 803,139 | ||||||
| Total | $ | 1,417,426 | $ | 1,620,740 | ||||
Professional fees
| ● | For the three months ended December 31, 2021, professional fees increased by $20,569 or 10%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in legal fees of $53,957, an increase in accounting fees of $12,365 offset by a decrease in consulting fees of $27,186 and a decrease in IT services of $18,567. The increase in legal fees during the 2021 period can be primarily attributed to defending multiple lawsuits during the three months ended December 31, 2021. There were minimal legal fees incurred for lawsuits during the 2020 period. |
Compensation expense
| ● | For the three months ended December 31, 2021, compensation expense increased by $35,680 or 6%, as compared the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was attributable to an increase in administrative compensation and related expenses of $28,845 and an increase in employee benefits of $6,835 resulting from an increase of employees in 2021. |
Licensing fees
| ● | For the three months ended December 31, 2021, licensing fees increased by $5,920 or 20%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was attributable to an increase in the minimum royalties payable to GMU and the NIH. This increase can be attributed to the increase in sales in 2021. |
General and administrative expenses
| ● | For the three months ended December 31, 2021, general and administrative expenses decreased by $265,483 or 33%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in patient reporting and contract research (formerly called sample analysis) of $161,705 because the Company reduced the amount of contract research work the vendor was providing during the 2021 period, a decrease in laboratory supplies of $48,725 and a decrease in biological expense of $123,050 offset by an increase in gain on lease modification of $8,229, an increase in sample validation expense of $25,000, an increase in business insurance of $10,015, an increase in rent expense of $28,732 and an increase in other office expenses of $12,479. The decrease was a result of a lower operating expenses in 2021. |
Loss from Operations
| ● | For the three months ended December 31, 2021, the loss from operations amounted to $1,382,016 as compared to $1,612,553 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $230,537 or 14%. The decrease was primarily a result of lower operating expenses as discussed above offset by increase in revenue. |
Other Income (Expense)
| ● | For the three months ended December 31, 2021, we had total other (expense), net of $(130,251) as compared to total other income, net of $192,778 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, an increase in total other (expense) of $323,029 or 168%. This change was primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $126,921 due to additional debt incurred in 2021 and an increase on unrealized gain on market securities of $8,500 offset by a decrease in gain on debt extinguishment of $227,294 as there was no debt extinguishment in 2021, a decrease in unrealized loss on exchange rate of $22,686. |
Preferred Stock Dividend
| ● | For the three months ended December 31, 2021, dividends on preferred stocks increased by $20,274 or 50%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in dividends of $20,164 on Series F preferred stock which were issued on July 30, 2021. Therefore, there were no dividends related to the Series F preferred stock during the 2020 period. |
Net Loss Attributed to Common Stockholders
| ● | For the three months ended December 31, 2021, net loss attributable to common stockholders amounted to $1,572,760, or $(0.00) per share (basic and diluted), compared to $1,459,994 or $(0.00) per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $112,766 or 8%. |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had a working capital deficit of $2,417,506 and cash of $414,982 as of December 31, 2021 and working capital deficit of $2,657,337 and $314,151 of cash as of September 30, 2021.

Cash Requirements
Our management does not believe that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating our Company and maintaining our business strategy for more than 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, we will have to raise additional capital in the near future to meet our working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had net loss and net cash used in operations of $1,512,267 and $1,494,792, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ deficit and working capital deficit of $51,398,615, $4,865,914 and $2,417,506 at December 31, 2021. Management believes that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance date of this report.
The Company cannot provide assurance that it will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt or equity capital. Additionally, the current capital resources are not adequate to continue operating and maintaining the business strategy for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The Company will seek to raise capital through additional debt and equity financings to fund its operations in the future.
Although the Company has historically raised capital from sales of equity and from the issuance of promissory notes, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to do so. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail or cease operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The global pandemic COVID-19, otherwise referred to as the Coronavirus, could impair our ability to raise additional funding or make such funding more costly. The ongoing global pandemic has caused cessation of normal business operations and initially caused capital markets to decline sharply. This could make it more difficult for the Company to access capital. It is currently difficult to estimate with any certainty how long the pandemic and resulting curtailment of business will continue, and its effect on capital markets and the Company’s ability to raise funds is, accordingly, difficult to quantify. In addition, to the extent that any of the Company’s personnel or consultants are affected by the virus, this could cause delays or disruption in our planned research and development activities.
Current Financings
Convertible Debt – Related Party
On November 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with a related party, who is an affiliate stockholder (“First Investor”), to purchase three convertible notes (collectively as “Notes”) and three accompanying warrants (collectively as “Warrants”), for an aggregate investment amount of $1,000,000. The first note issued on November 1, 2021 had a principal balance of $334,000 (“Note I”) and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 18,251,367 shares of common stock (“Warrant I”). The second note issued on December 1, 2021, had a principal balance of $333,000 (“Note II”) and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 18,196,722 shares of common stock (“Warrant II”). The third note was issued subsequent to December 31, 2021. The Company received $667,000 in aggregate proceeds from the Notes. The Notes bear an interest rate of 8% per annum (which shall increase to 10% per year upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Notes)) and mature on November 1, 2026. The Warrants are exercisable at any time after the issue date and upon approve the Company’s name change to Theralink Technologies, Inc. and the related ticker symbol change by FINRA. The Warrants expire November 1, 2026. The total warrants to purchase up to 36,448,089 were valued at $661,088 using the relative fair value method and were recorded as a debt discount which is being amortized over the life of the Notes. The Notes and Warrants are convertible and exercisable, respectively, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to $0.00366 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Notes and Warrants). As of December 31, 2021, the Notes had an outstanding principal of $667,000 and accrued interest of $4,386. The Notes are reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet at $22,309 as a long-term convertible note payable – related party, net of discount in the amount of $644,691.

Note Payable - Related Party
On October 21, 2021, the Company entered into a Promissory Note Agreement (the “Note”) with Jeffrey Busch (“Lender”) who serves as a member of the Board of Directors and is considered a related party, for a principal balance of $150,000. The Company received proceeds of $150,000. The Note bore an annual interest rate of 1%, matured on December 1, 2021 and could have been prepaid in whole or in part without penalty. Pursuant to the Note, the Company has a 90-day grace period following the maturity date after which the Lender was permitted to charge a late payment fee equal to 1% of the outstanding principal balance and cost of collection, including legal fees. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company fully paid the outstanding balance on the Note. As of December 31, 2021, the note had no outstanding balance.
Future Financings
We will require additional financing to fund our planned operations. We currently do not have committed sources of additional financing and may not be able to obtain additional financing particularly, if the volatile conditions of the stock and financial markets, and more particularly the market for early-stage development company stocks persist.
There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to further delay or further scale down some or all of our activities or perhaps even cease the operations of the business.
Since inception we have funded our operations primarily through equity and debt financings and we expect that we will continue to fund our operations through equity and debt financing, either alone or through strategic alliances. If we are able to raise additional financing by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted. Obtaining commercial or other loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the following policies as critical to our business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the 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 from these estimates. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and year ended September 30, 2021 include, but are not necessarily limited to, the valuation of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, estimates of contingent liabilities, valuation of marketable securities, useful life of property and equipment, valuation of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets, allowances for accounts receivable, estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions.
| 35 |
Additionally, the full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated. However, the Company has made appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are material differences between the Company’s estimates and the actual results, the Company’s future consolidated results of operation will be affected.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to the Company on December 31, 2021. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. | |
| Level 2—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. | |
| Level 3—Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information. |
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Pursuant to ASC 505-50 - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, all share-based payments to non-employees, including grants of stock options, are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as compensation expense over the service period of the consulting arrangement or until performance conditions are expected to be met. Using a Black Scholes valuation model, the Company periodically reassessed the fair value of non-employee options until service conditions are met, which generally aligns with the vesting period of the options, and the Company adjusts the expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements accordingly. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may not adopt prior to adopting the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-07 during the period September 30, 2018, and the adoption did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASU Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company provides research and development support to biopharmaceutical companies to assist their drug development programs. In January 2021, the Company began performing tumor profiling to support clinical patient therapeutic intervention. The services provided by the Company are performance obligations under services contracts. These contracts are completed over time and may lead to deferred revenue for services not completed at the end of a period. Management reviews the completion status of all jobs monthly to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize. The Company offers these services to biopharmaceutical companies and to private individuals. The revenue recognized from services provided to private individuals during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and year ended September 30, 2021 were minimal and therefore was not disaggregated for disclosure purposes.
| 36 |
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases using the method prescribed by ASC 842 – Lease Accounting. The Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease at the inception of a contract which is based on (i) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (ii) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (iii) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.
Operating and financing lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. Operating and financing lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470- 20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for convertible instruments. Under the amendments in ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and a convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the interest rate of convertible debt instruments typically will be closer to the coupon interest rate when applying the guidance in Topic 835, Interest. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 provide financial statement users with a simpler and more consistent starting point to perform analyses across entities. The amendments also improve the operability of the guidance and reduce, to a large extent, the complexities in the accounting for convertible instruments and the difficulties with the interpretation and application of the relevant guidance. To further improve the decision usefulness and relevance of the information being provided to users of financial statements, amendments in ASU 2020-06 increased information transparency by making the following amendments to the disclosure for convertible instruments:
| 1. | Added a disclosure objective |
| 2. | Added information about events or conditions that occur during the reporting period that cause conversion contingencies to be met or conversion terms to be significantly changed |
| 3. | Added information on which party controls the conversion rights |
| 4. | Aligned disclosure requirements for contingently convertible instruments with disclosure requirements for other convertible instruments |
| 5. | Required that existing fair value disclosures in Topic 825, Financial Instruments, be provided at the individual convertible instrument level rather than in the aggregate. |
Additionally, for convertible debt instruments with substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, amendments in ASU 2020-06 added disclosures about (1) the fair value amount and the level of fair value hierarchy of the entire instrument for public business entities and (2) the premium amount recorded as paid-in capital.
The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public business entities, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and are allowed to adopt the guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. In applying the modified retrospective method, entities should apply the guidance to transactions outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are adopted. Transactions that were settled (or expired) during prior reporting periods are unaffected. The cumulative effect of the change should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. If an entity elects the fully retrospective method of transition, the cumulative effect of the change should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the first comparative period presented. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 and its adoption did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
| 37 |
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This amendment is effective for all entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 and its adoption did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. Our management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting was based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which we identified in our internal controls over financial reporting:
| (1) | The lack of multiple levels of management review on complex accounting and financial reporting issues, and business transactions, | |
| (2) | a lack of adequate segregation of duties and necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting processing and accounting functions as a result of our limited financial resources to support the hiring of the necessary personnel and the implementation of more robust accounting systems, |
| 38 |
A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management’s Remediation Plan
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes in the future:
| (i) | appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and | |
| (ii) | adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. |
The remediation efforts set out in (i) are largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.
Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In August 2017, numerous purported plaintiffs brought an action against Avant Diagnostics and its previous executive team in the District Court of Harris County Texas. The action alleges the plaintiffs were engaged by Avant to perform services prior to 2018, which they were not compensated for, and were issued certain restricted shares of Avant as payment of those services and Avant did not remove the restrictive legend from said shares. The plaintiffs are seeking $1,000,000 in monetary relief. On July 1, 2021, the Company and Dr. Ruxin were added as defendants in the lawsuit. The Company believes these claims are without merit and intends to defend the plaintiffs’ lawsuits vigorously. The Company currently believes the likelihood of a loss contingency related to these matters is remote and, therefore, no provision for a loss contingency is required.
On December 10, 2021, YPH LLC filed a complaint against the Company in the District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that Theralink breached its Certificate of Designation for Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock by failing to honor a conversion notice submitted to it by YPH. Based on these and other allegations, Plaintiff asserted a breach of contract claim claiming that it has damages in excess of $100 million. Plaintiff also seeks a decree of specific performance directing Theralink to deliver all shares due under the Conversion Notice. Theralink filed its response to the complaint on February 4, 2022. The Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. The Company currently believes the likelihood of a loss contingency related to these matters is remote and, therefore, no provision for a loss contingency is required.
