+Added: Significant changes from the prior year include:
+Added: Professional fees remained flat year over year going to $149,619 from $149,123 as legal, accounting and auditing activity all remained relatively unchanged over prior year totals.
+Added: Share-based compensation increased sharply by $2,746,546 from $648,773 to $3,395,319 primarily as a result of the sharp increase of stock price at grant date of certain options and a change in accounting based on new FASB guidance for valuation of share based payments to non-employees.
+Added: Additionally, we granted a higher number of stock options in 2019.
+Added: Research and development increased by $32,453 from $337,067 to $369,520 primarily as a result of management’s current year investment in further testing and development of the AAGP ®

+Added: be successful in any future business activities and continue to pay its liabilities.
+Added: There can be no assurance that in the

+Added: GAAP requires management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts
+Added: of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and (ii)
+Added: the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements.
+Added: Our management routinely makes judgments and
+Added: estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
+Added: As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future
+Added: resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex.
+Added: Although we believe that our
+Added: estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
+Added: Changes in estimates and
+Added: assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results of operation and/or financial condition.
+Added: Our significant
+Added: accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K.

+Added: Stock Compensation”,
+Added: which recognizes awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected
+Added: Cliff Vesting is used and awards vest on the last day of the vesting period.
+Added: The fair value of stock options is determined
+Added: using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
+Added: The fair value of common shares issued for services is determined based on the Company’s
+Added: stock price on the date of issuance.
+Added: The Company accounts for stock compensation
+Added: arrangements with persons classified as non-employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Stock-Based
+Added: Transactions with Nonemployees”, which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement
+Added: The measurement of share-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying instruments vest.
+Added: value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the compensation charges are amortized over
+Added: the vesting period.
+Added: Intangible Assets –
+Added: Patent and Patent
+Added: Application Costs
