to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
accompanying condensed financial statements of Vivos Inc. (the “ Company ”) have been prepared without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly
the results of operations of the Company for the period presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period or the fiscal year ending December
31, 2021 and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2021.
Business
Overview
The
Company was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on December 23, 1994 as Savage Mountain Sports Corporation (“ SMSC ”).
On September 6, 2006, the Company changed its name to Advanced Medical Isotope Corporation, and on December 28, 2017, the Company
began operating as Vivos Inc. The Company has authorized capital of 950,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share,
and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share.
Our
principal place of business is located at 719 Jadwin Avenue, Richland, WA 99352. Our telephone number is (509) 736-4000. Our corporate
website address is http://www.radiogel.com. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbol
“RDGL.”
The
Company is a radiation oncology medical device company engaged in the development of its yttrium-90 based brachytherapy device,
RadioGel™, for the treatment of non-resectable tumors. A prominent team of radiochemists, scientists and engineers, collaborating
with strategic partners, including national laboratories, universities and private corporations, lead the Company’s development
efforts. The Company’s overall vision is to globally empower physicians, medical researchers and patients by providing them
with new isotope technologies that offer safe and effective treatments for cancer.
In
January 2018, the Center for Veterinary Medicine Product Classification Group ruled that RadioGel TM should be classified
as a device for animal therapy of feline sarcomas and canine soft tissue sarcomas. Additionally, after a legal review, the Company
believes that the device classification obtained from the Food and Drug Administration (“ FDA ”) Center for Veterinary
Medicine is not limited to canine and feline sarcomas, but rather may be extended to a much broader population of veterinary cancers,
including all or most solid tumors in animals. We expect the result of such classification and label review will be that no additional
regulatory approvals are necessary for the use of IsoPet ® for the treatment of solid tumors in animals. The FDA
does not have premarket authority over devices with a veterinary classification, and the manufacturers are responsible for assuring
that the product is safe, effective, properly labeled, and otherwise in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Based
on the FDA’s recommendation, RadioGel TM will be marketed as “IsoPet ® ” for use by veterinarians
to avoid any confusion between animal and human therapy. The Company already has trademark protection for the “IsoPet ® ”
name. IsoPet ® and RadioGel TM are used synonymously throughout this document. The only distinction between
IsoPet ® and RadioGel TM is the FDA’s recommendation that we use “IsoPet®” for veterinarian
usage, and reserve “RadioGel TM” for human therapy. Based on these developments, the Company has shifted
its primary focus to the development and marketing of Isopet® for animal therapy, through the Company’s IsoPet®
Solutions division.
5
IsoPet
Solutions
The
Company’s IsoPet Solutions division was established in May 2016 to focus on the veterinary oncology market, namely engagement
of university veterinarian hospital to develop the detailed therapy procedures to treat animal tumors and ultimately use of the
technology in private clinics. The Company has worked with three different university veterinarian hospitals on IsoPet® testing
and therapy. Washington State University treated five cats for feline sarcoma and served to develop the procedures which are incorporated
in our label. They concluded that the product was safe and effective in killing cancer cells. Colorado State University demonstrated
the CT and PET-CT imaging of IsoPet®. A contract was signed with University of Missouri to treat canine sarcomas and equine
sarcoids starting in November 2017.
The
dogs were treated for canine soft tissue sarcoma. Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (“ RECIST ”) is
a set of published rules that define when tumors in cancer patients improve (respond), stay the same (stabilize), or worsen (progress)
during treatment. The criteria were published by an international collaboration including the European Organisation for Research
and Treatment of Cancer (“EORTC”), National Cancer Institute of the United States, and the National Cancer Institute
of Canada Clinical Trials Group.
The
testing at the University of Missouri met its objective to demonstrate the safety of IsoPet®. Using its advanced CT and PET
equipment it was able to demonstrate that the dose calculations were accurate and that the injections perfused into the cell interstices
and did not stay concentrated in a bolus. This results in a more homogeneous dose distribution. There was insignificant spread
of Y-90 outside the points of injection demonstrating the effectiveness of the particles and the gel to localize the radiation
with no spreading to the blood or other organs nor to urine or fecal material. This confirms that IsoPet® is safe for same
day therapy.
The
effectiveness of IsoPet® for life extension was not the prime objective, but it resulted in valuable insights. Of the cases
one is still cancer-free but the others eventually recurred since there was not a strong focus on treating the margins. The University
of Missouri has agreed to become a regional center to administer IsoPet® therapy and will incorporate the improvements suggested
by the testing program.
The
Company anticipates that future profits, if any, will be derived from direct sales of RadioGel™ (under the name IsoPet®)
and related services, and from licensing to private medical and veterinary clinics in the U.S. and internationally. The Company
intends to report the results from the IsoPet® Solutions division as a separate operating segment in accordance with GAAP.
Commencing
in July 2019, the Company recognized its first commercial sale of IsoPet®. A veterinarian from Alaska brought his cat with
a re-occurrent spindle cell sarcoma tumor on his face. The cat had previously received external beam therapy, but now the tumor
was growing rapidly. He was given a high dose of 400Gy with heavy therapy at the margins. This sale met the revenue recognition
requirements under ASC 606 as the performance obligation was satisfied. The Company completed sales for an additional four animals
that received the IsoPet® during 2019.
Our
plan is to incorporate the data assembled from our work with Isopet® in animal therapy to support the Company’s efforts
in the development of our RadioGel™ device candidate, including obtaining approval from the FDA to market and sell
RadioGel™ as a Class II medical device. RadioGel™ is an injectable particle-gel for brachytherapy radiation treatment
of cancerous tumors in people and animals. RadioGel™ is comprised of a hydrogel, or a substance that is liquid at room temperature
and then gels when reaching body temperature after injection into a tumor. In the gel are small, less than two microns, yttrium-90
phosphate particles (“ Y-90 ”). Once injected, these inert particles are locked in place inside the tumor by
the gel, delivering a very high local radiation dose. The radiation is beta, consisting of high-speed electrons. These electrons
only travel a short distance so the device can deliver high radiation to the tumor with minimal dose to the surrounding tissue.
Optimally, patients can go home immediately following treatment without the risk of radiation exposure to family members. Since
Y-90 has a half-life of 2.7 days, the radioactivity drops to 5% of its original value after ten days.
Recently,
the Company modified its Indication for Use from skin cancel to cancerous tissue or solid tumors pathologically associated with
locoregional papillary thyroid carcinoma and recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma having discernable tumors associated with metastatic
lymph nodes or extranodal disease in patients who are not surgical candidates or who have declined surgery, or patients who require
post-surgical remnant ablation (for example, after prior incomplete radioiodine therapy). Papillary thyroid carcinoma belongs
to the general class of head and neck tumors for which tumors are accessible by intraoperative direct needle injection. The Company’s
Medical Advisory Board felt that demonstrating efficacy in clinical trials was much easier with this new indication.
6
The
Company’s lead brachytherapy products, including RadioGel™, incorporate patented technology developed for Battelle
Memorial Institute (“ Battelle ”) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, a leading research institute for
government and commercial customers. Battelle has granted the Company an exclusive license to patents covering the manufacturing,
processing and applications of RadioGel™ (the “ Battelle License ”). This exclusive license is to terminate
upon the expiration of the last patent included in this agreement (March 2022). Other intellectual property protection includes
proprietary production processes and trademark protection in 17 countries. The Company plans to continue efforts to develop new
refinements on the production process, and the product and application hardware, as a basis for future patents.
The
Company received the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) International Search Report on our patent application (No.1811.191).
Seven of our claims were immediately ruled as having novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability. This gives us the basis
to extend for many years the patent protection for our proprietary Yttrium-90 phosphate particles utilized in Isopet® and
Radiogel™. As part of the normal review process, we have also submitted the technical justification for seven additional
claims. We are in the process of filing patent claims in Canada, UK (Great Britain, Scotland, Wales and Ireland), Japan, Germany,
Italy, France, Australia, Brazil, China, India, North Countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark).
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has
suffered recurring losses and used significant cash in support of its operating activities and the Company’s cash position
is not sufficient to support the Company’s operations. Research and development of the Company’s brachytherapy product
line has been funded with proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities as well as a series of grants. The Company requires
funding of approximately $2 million annually to maintain current operating activities.
The
Company completed its reverse stock split which was approved by FINRA and went effective on June 28, 2019.
The
Company’s stock offering under Regulation A+ was qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
on June 3, 2020.
The
Company over the past twelve months has raised approximately $4,000,000 from the sale of shares under Regulation A+, and intends
to use the proceeds generated as follows:
For
the animal therapy market:
●
Fund
the effort to communicate the benefits of IsoPet ® to the veterinary community and the pet parents.
●
Conduct
additional clinical studies to generate more data for the veterinary community
●
Subsidize
some IsoPet ® therapies, if necessary, to ensure that all viable candidates are treated.
●
Assist
a new regional clinic with their license and certification training.
For
the human market:
●
Enhance
the pedigree of the Quality Management System.
●
Complete
the previously defined pre-clinical testing and additional testing on an animal model closely aligned with our revised indication
for use. Report the results to the FDA in a pre-submission meeting.
●
Use
the feedback from that meeting to write the IDE (Investigational Device Exemption), which is required to initiate clinical
trials.
Research
and development of the Company’s brachytherapy product line has been funded with proceeds from the sale of equity and debt
securities. The Company may require additional funding of approximately $2 million annually to maintain current operating activities.
Over the next 12 to 24 months, the Company believes it will cost approximately $9 million to: (1) fund the FDA approval process
to conduct human clinical trials, (2) conduct Phase I, pilot, clinical trials, (3) activate several regional clinics to administer
IsoPet ® across the county, (4) create an independent production center within the current production site to create
a template for future international manufacturing, and (5) initiate regulatory approval processes outside of the United States.
7
The
continued deployment of the brachytherapy products and a worldwide regulatory approval effort will require additional resources
and personnel. The principal variables in the timing and amount of spending for the brachytherapy products in the next 12 to 24
months will be the FDA’s classification of the Company’s brachytherapy products as Class II or Class III devices (or
otherwise) and any requirements for additional studies which may possibly include clinical studies. Thereafter, the principal
variables in the amount of the Company’s spending and its financing requirements would be the timing of any approvals and
the nature of the Company’s arrangements with third parties for manufacturing, sales, distribution and licensing of those
products and the products’ success in the U.S. and elsewhere. The Company intends to fund its activities through strategic
transactions such as licensing and partnership agreements or additional capital raises.
Following
receipt of required regulatory approvals and financing, in the U.S., the Company intends to outsource material aspects of manufacturing,
distribution, sales and marketing. Outside of the U.S., the Company intends to pursue licensing arrangements and/or partnerships
to facilitate its global commercialization strategy.
In
the longer-term, subject to the Company receiving adequate funding, regulatory approval for RadioGel™ and other brachytherapy
products, and thereafter being able to successfully commercialize its brachytherapy products, the Company intends to consider
resuming research efforts with respect to other products and technologies intended to help improve the diagnosis and treatment
of cancer and other illnesses.
Based
on the Company’s financial history since inception, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has
expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has limited revenue,
nominal cash, and has accumulated deficits since inception. If the Company cannot obtain sufficient additional capital, the Company
will be required to delay the implementation of its business strategy and may not be able to continue operations.
The
Company has been impacted from the effects of COVID-19. The Company’s headquarters are in Northeast Washington however there
focus of the animal therapy market has been the Northwestern sector of the United States, the initial epicenter of the COVID-19
outbreak in the United States. The Company is hopeful that by the end of the third quarter of 2021, they will be allowed to continue
their marketing to the animal therapy market and attempt to increase the exposure to their product and generate revenue accordingly.
As
of March 31, 2021, the Company has $2,511,845 cash on hand. There are currently commitments to vendors for products and services
purchased. To continue the development of the Company’s products, the current level of cash may not be enough to cover the
fixed and variable obligations of the Company.
There
is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or to do so at an advantageous price.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern
is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain
profitability. The Company plans to seek additional funding to maintain its operations through debt and equity financing and to
improve operating performance through a focus on strategic products and increased efficiencies in business processes and improvements
to the cost structure. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional working capital
or achieve profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
8
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates the
Company considers include criteria for stock-based compensation expense, and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Financial
Statement Reclassification
Certain
account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these financial statements so as to conform to current period classifications.
Cash
Equivalents
For
the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The
Company occasionally maintains cash balances in excess of the FDIC insured limit. The Company does not consider this risk to be
material.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
value of financial instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet,
where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balances reported for cash, prepaid
expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
Fair
value is defined 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. Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC ”) Topic 820 established
a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority
to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority
to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
Level
1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level
2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted
prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not
active; and
Level
3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions,
such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are
unobservable.
The
Company measures certain financial instruments including options and warrants issued during the period at fair value on a recurring
basis.
Derivative
Liabilities and Beneficial Conversion Feature
The
Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts, if any, to determine if those contracts or embedded
components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ ASC 815 ”) as well as related interpretations of this standard
and Accounting Standards Update 2017-11, which was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2018. In accordance with this standard,
derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with
gains or losses recognized in earnings.
Embedded
derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with
changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings.
9
The
result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative instrument is marked-to-market each balance sheet
date and with the change in fair value recognized in the statement of operations as other income or expense.
Upon
conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion,
exercise or cancellation than that the related fair value is removed from the books. Gains or losses on debt extinguishment are
recognized in the statement of operations upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument after any shares
issued in such a transaction are recorded at market value.
The
classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is
re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject
to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Instruments
that become a derivative after inception are recognized as a derivative on the date they become a derivative with the offsetting
entry recorded in earnings.
The
Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments, considering all of the rights and obligations
of each instrument, based on available market data using a binomial model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies
all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk-free rates) necessary to fair
value these instruments. For instruments in default with no remaining time to maturity the Company uses a one-year term for their
years to maturity estimate unless a sooner conversion date can be estimated or is known. Estimating fair values of derivative
financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over
the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques
(such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock.
The
Company accounts for the beneficial conversion feature on its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Beneficial
Conversion Feature (“BCF”) is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature that provides a rate of
conversion that is below market value or in the money when issued. The Company records a BCF when these criteria exist, when issued.
BCFs that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.
To
determine the effective conversion price, the Company first allocates the proceeds received to the convertible instrument, and
then use those allocated proceeds to determine the effective conversion price. The intrinsic value of the conversion option should
be measured using the effective conversion price for the convertible instrument on the proceeds allocated to that instrument.
The
accounting for a BCF requires that the BCF be recognized by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option to additional
paid in capital, resulting in a discount to the convertible instrument. This discount should be accreted from the date on which
the BCF is first recognized through the earliest conversion date for instruments that do not have a stated redemption date.
Fixed
Assets
Fixed
assets are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Production equipment with a cost of $2,500 or greater and other
fixed assets with a cost of $1,500 or greater are capitalized. Major betterments that extend the useful lives of assets are also
capitalized. Normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of,
the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations.
Depreciation
is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Production
equipment:
3
to 7 years
Office
equipment:
2
to 5 years
Furniture
and fixtures:
2
to 5 years
Leasehold
improvements and capital lease assets are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated life of the asset.
10
Management
of the Company reviews the net carrying value of all of its equipment on an asset by asset basis whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. These reviews consider the net realizable value of each
asset, as measured in accordance with the preceding paragraph, to determine whether impairment in value has occurred, and the
need for any asset impairment write-down.
License
Fees
License
fees are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization of license fees is computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated economic useful life of the assets.
Effective
March 2012, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Battelle Memorial Institute regarding the use of its
patented RadioGel™ technology. This license agreement originally called for a $17,500 nonrefundable license fee and a royalty
based on a percent of gross sales for licensed products sold; the license agreement also contains a minimum royalty amount to
be paid each year starting with 2013. The license agreement was most recently amended on December 20, 2018, and pursuant to the
amendment the maintenance fee schedule was updated for minimum royalties, as well as the increase in royalties from one percent
(1%) to two percent (2%), then on October 8, 2019 to reduce the fee back to one percent (1%).
Future
minimum royalties for the years ending December 31 are noted below:
Minimum
Royalties per
Calendar Year
Calendar Year
2021
$ 10,000
2022
4,000
Total
$ 14,000
The
Company periodically reviews the carrying values of capitalized license fees and any impairments are recognized when the expected
future operating cash flows to be derived from such assets are less than their carrying value.
The
2021 fee was paid in December 2020.
Patents
and Intellectual Property
While
patents are being developed or pending, they are not being amortized. Management has determined that the economic life of the
patents to be ten years and amortization, over such 10-year period and on a straight-line basis will begin once the patents have
been issued and the Company begins utilization of the patents through production and sales, resulting in revenues.
The
Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets, including patents and intellectual property on a continual basis. Several
factors are used to evaluate intangibles, including, but not limited to, management’s plans for future operations, recent
operating results and projected and expected undiscounted future cash flows.
There
have been no such capitalized costs in the three months ended March 31, 2021 or years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
However, a patent was filed on July 1, 2019 (No. 1811.191) filed by Michael Korenko and David Swanberg and assigned to the Company
based on the Company’s proprietary particle manufacturing process. The timing of this filing was important given the Company’s
plans to make IsoPet® commercially available, which it did on or about July 9, 2019. This additional patent protection will
strengthen the Company’s competitive position. It is the Company’s intention to further extend this patent protection
to several key countries within one year, as permitted under international patent laws and treaties.
11
Revenue
Recognition
In
May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“F ASB ”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ ASU ”)
No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue
recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces a five-step
model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers
at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method.
Under
ASC 606, in order to recognize revenue, the Company is required to identify an approved contract with commitments to preform respective
obligations, identify rights of each party in the transaction regarding goods to be transferred, identify the payment terms for
the goods transferred, verify that the contract has commercial substance and verify that collection of substantially all consideration
is probable. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the Company’s operations or cash flows.
The
Company recognized revenue as they (i) identified the contracts with ach customer; (ii) identified the performance obligation
in each contract; (iii) determined the transaction price in each contract; (iv) were able to allocate the transaction price to
the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognized revenue upon the satisfaction of the performance obligation. Upon
the sales of the product to complete the procedures on the animals, the Company recognized revenue as that was considered the
performance obligation.
Loss
Per Share
The
Company accounts for its loss per common share by replacing primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted
earnings per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period, and does not include the impact of any
potentially dilutive common stock equivalents since the impact would be anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted earnings per
share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common
shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. For the given periods of loss,
of the periods ended in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the basic earnings per share equals the diluted earnings
per share.
The
following represent common stock equivalents that could be dilutive in the future as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
which include the following:
March 31, 2021
December 31, 2020

Research
and Development Costs
Research
and developments costs, including salaries, research materials, administrative expenses and contractor fees, are charged to operations
as incurred. The cost of equipment used in research and development activities which has alternative uses is capitalized as part
of fixed assets and not treated as an expense in the period acquired. Depreciation of capitalized equipment used to perform research
and development is classified as research and development expense in the year computed.
The
Company incurred $71,700 and $1,028 research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively,
all of which were recorded in the Company’s operating expenses noted on the statements of operations for the periods then
ended.
12
Advertising
and Marketing Costs
Advertising
and marketing costs are expensed as incurred except for the cost of tradeshows which are deferred until the tradeshow occurs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred no advertising and marketing costs.
Contingencies
In
the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in legal proceedings involving contractual and employment relationships,
product liability claims, patent rights, and a variety of other matters. The Company records contingent liabilities resulting
from asserted and unasserted claims against it, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss
is reasonably estimable. The Company discloses contingent liabilities when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate
loss will exceed the recorded liability. Estimated probable losses require analysis of multiple factors, in some cases including
judgments about the potential actions of third-party claimants and courts. Therefore, actual losses in any future period are inherently
uncertain. The Company has entered into various agreements that require them to pay certain fees to consultants and/or employees
that have been fully accrued for as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Income
Taxes
To
address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions, the Company clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum
recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Company
also provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest, and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure and transition.
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Company did not have any tax expense for the three months
ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company did not have any deferred tax liability or asset on its balance sheet on March 31,
2021 and December 31, 2020.
Interest
costs and penalties related to income taxes, if any, will be classified as interest expense and general and administrative costs,
respectively, in the Company’s financial statements. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did
not recognize any interest or penalty expense related to income taxes. The Company believes that it is not reasonably possible
for the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company recognizes compensation costs under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and ASU 2018-07. Companies
are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and
recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share
based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights
and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation
amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
In
May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” The update provides guidance about which
changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in ASC Topic
718. An entity shall account for the effects of a modification described in ASC paragraphs 718-20-35-3 through 35-9, unless all
the following are met: (1) The fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately
before the original award is modified; (2) The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions
of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and (3) The classification of the modified award as an
equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original
award is modified. The provisions of this update become effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company’s adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact
on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and related disclosures.
13
In
June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based
Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently
only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services.
Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The ASU supersedes
Subtopic 505-50, Equity - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years,
and interim fiscal periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier
than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The adoption of this standard did not
have a material impact on its financial statements. The Company has determined that no amounts had to be revalued upon adoption
of this amendment.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
August, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.
2020-06, 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 Contract’s in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU
simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently,
more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion
features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope
exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation
in certain areas. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2021, and early adoption is
permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its financial statements.
The
Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Except
for statements of historical fact, certain information described in this Form 10-Q report contains “forward-looking statements”
that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,”
“believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,”
“should,” “will,” “would” or similar words. The statements that contain these or similar words
should be read carefully because these statements discuss the Company’s future expectations, including its expectations
of its future results of operations or financial position, or state other “forward-looking” information. Vivos Inc.
believes that it is important to communicate its future expectations to its investors. However, there may be events in the future
that the Company is not able to accurately predict or to control. Further, the Company urges you to be cautious of the forward-looking
statements which are contained in this Form 10-Q report because they involve risks, uncertainties and other factors affecting
its operations, market growth, service, products and licenses. The risk factors in the section captioned “Risk Factors”
in Item 1A of the Company’s previously filed Form 10-K, as well as other cautionary language in this Form 10-Q report, describe
such risks, uncertainties and events that may cause the Company’s actual results and achievements, whether expressed or
implied, to differ materially from the expectations the Company describes in its forward-looking statements. The occurrence of
any of the events described as risk factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations
and financial position.
Vivos
Inc. is a radiation oncology medical device company engaged in the development of its yttrium-90 (“Y-90”) based brachytherapy
device, RadioGel™, for the treatment of non-resectable tumors. A prominent team of radiochemists, scientists and engineers,
collaborating with strategic partners, including national laboratories, universities and private corporations, lead the Company’s
development efforts. The Company’s overall vision is to globally empower physicians, medical researchers and patients by
providing them with new isotope technologies that offer safe and effective treatments for cancer.
In
2013 the FDA issued the determination that RadioGel™ is a device for human therapy for non-resectable cancers in humans.
This should result in a faster path than a drug for final approval.
In
January 2018, the Center for Veterinary Medicine Product Classification Group ruled that RadioGel TM should be classified
as a device for animal therapy of feline sarcomas and canine soft tissue sarcomas. Additionally, after a legal review, the Company
believes that the device classification obtained from the Food and Drug Administration (“ FDA ”) Center for Veterinary
Medicine is not limited to canine and feline sarcomas, but rather may be extended to a much broader population of veterinary cancers,
including all or most solid tumors in animals. We expect the result of such classification and label review will be that no additional
regulatory approvals are necessary for the use of IsoPet ® for the treatment of solid tumors in animals. The FDA
does not have premarket authority over devices with a veterinary classification, and the manufacturers are responsible for assuring
that the product is safe, effective, properly labeled, and otherwise in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Based
on the FDA’s recommendation, RadioGel TM will be marketed as “IsoPet ® ” for use by veterinarians
to avoid any confusion between animal and human therapy. The Company already has trademark protection for the “IsoPet ® ”
name. IsoPet ® and RadioGel TM are used synonymously throughout this document. The only distinction between
IsoPet ® and RadioGel TM is the FDA’s recommendation that we use “IsoPet®” for veterinarian
usage, and reserve “RadioGel TM” for human therapy. Based on these developments, the Company has shifted
its primary focus to the development and marketing of Isopet® for animal therapy, through the Company’s IsoPet®
Solutions division.
The
Company’s IsoPet Solutions division was established in May 2016 to focus on the veterinary oncology market, namely engagement
of university veterinarian hospital to develop the detailed therapy procedures to treat animal tumors and ultimately use of the
technology in private clinics. The Company has worked with three different university veterinarian hospitals on IsoPet® testing
and therapy. Washington State University treated five cats for feline sarcoma and served to develop the procedures which are incorporated
in our label. They concluded that the product was safe and effective in killing cancer cells. Colorado State University demonstrated
the CT and PET-CT imaging of IsoPet®. A contract was signed with University of Missouri to treat canine sarcomas and equine
sarcoids starting in November 2017.
26
The
dogs were treated for canine soft tissue sarcoma. Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (“ RECIST ”) is
a set of published rules that define when tumors in cancer patients improve (respond), stay the same (stabilize), or worsen (progress)
during treatment. The criteria were published by an international collaboration including the European Organisation for Research
and Treatment of Cancer (“EORTC”), National Cancer Institute of the United States, and the National Cancer Institute
of Canada Clinical Trials Group.
The
testing at the University of Missouri met its objective to demonstrate the safety of IsoPet®. Using its advanced CT and PET
equipment it was able to demonstrate that the dose calculations were accurate and that the injections perfused into the cell interstices
and did not stay concentrated in a bolus. This results in a more homogeneous dose distribution. There was insignificant spread
of Y-90 outside the points of injection demonstrating the effectiveness of the particles and the gel to localize the radiation
with no spreading to the blood or other organs nor to urine or fecal material. This confirms that IsoPet® is safe for same
day therapy.
The
effectiveness of IsoPet® for life extension was not the prime objective, but it resulted in valuable insights. Of the cases
one is still cancer-free but the others eventually recurred since there was not a strong focus on treating the margins. The University
of Missouri has agreed to become a regional center to administer IsoPet® therapy and will incorporate the improvements suggested
by the testing program.
The
Company anticipates that future profits, if any, will be derived from direct sales of RadioGel™ (under the name IsoPet®)
and related services, and from licensing to private medical and veterinary clinics in the U.S. and internationally. The Company
intends to report the results from the IsoPet® Solutions division as a separate operating segment in accordance with GAAP.
Commencing
in July 2019, the Company recognized its first commercial sale of IsoPet®. A veterinarian
from Alaska brought his cat with a re-occurrent spindle cell sarcoma tumor on his face. The cat had previously received external
beam therapy, but now the tumor was growing rapidly. He was given a high dose of 400Gy with heavy therapy at the margins. This
sale met the revenue recognition requirements under ASC 606 as the performance obligation was satisfied. The Company completed
sales for an additional four animals that received the IsoPet® during 2019.
Our
plan is to incorporate the data assembled from our work with Isopet® in animal therapy to support the Company’s efforts
in the development of our RadioGel™ device candidate, including obtaining approval from the FDA to market and sell
RadioGel™ as a Class II medical device. RadioGel™ is an injectable particle-gel for brachytherapy radiation treatment
of cancerous tumors in people and animals. RadioGel™ is comprised of a hydrogel, or a substance that is liquid at room temperature
and then gels when reaching body temperature after injection into a tumor. In the gel are small, less than two microns, Y-90 phosphate
particles. Once injected, these inert particles are locked in place inside the tumor by the gel, delivering a very high local
radiation dose. The radiation is beta, consisting of high-speed electrons. These electrons only travel a short distance so the
device can deliver high radiation to the tumor with minimal dose to the surrounding tissue. Optimally, patients can go home immediately
following treatment without the risk of radiation exposure to family members. Since Y-90 has a half-life of 2.7 days, the radioactivity
drops to 5% of its original value after ten days.
Recently,
the Company modified its Indication for Use from skin cancel to cancerous tissue or solid tumors pathologically associated with
locoregional papillary thyroid carcinoma and recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma having discernable tumors associated with metastatic
lymph nodes or extranodal disease in patients who are not surgical candidates or who have declined surgery, or patients who require
post-surgical remnant ablation (for example, after prior incomplete radioiodine therapy). Papillary thyroid carcinoma belongs
to the general class of head and neck tumors for which tumors are accessible by intraoperative direct needle injection. The Company’s
Medical Advisory Board felt that demonstrating efficacy in clinical trials was much easier with this new indication.
The
Company’s lead brachytherapy products, including RadioGel™, incorporate patented technology developed for Battelle
Memorial Institute (“ Battelle ”) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, a leading research institute for
government and commercial customers. Battelle has granted the Company an exclusive license to patents covering the manufacturing,
processing and applications of RadioGel™ (the “ Battelle License ”). This exclusive license is to terminate
upon the expiration of the last patent included in this agreement (May 2022). Other intellectual property protection includes
proprietary production processes and trademark protection in 17 countries.
27
The
Company plans to continue efforts to develop new refinements on the production process, and the product and application hardware,
as a basis for future patents.
The
Company received the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) International Search
Report on our patent application (No.1811.191). Seven of our claims were immediately ruled as having novelty, inventive
step and industrial applicability. This gives us the basis to extend for many years the patent protection for our proprietary
Yttrium-90 phosphate particles utilized in Isopet® and Radiogel™. As part of the normal review process, we have also
submitted the technical justification for seven additional claims. We are in the process of filing patent claims in Canada, UK
(Great Britain, Scotland, Wales and Ireland), Japan, Germany, Italy, France, Australia, Brazil, China, India, North Countries
(Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark).
Vista
Veterinary Hospital
Vista
Veterinary Hospital (“ Vista ”) was selected as the pilot private clinic to initiate commercial sales of IsoPet ® .
It is good management practice to implement and learn from a pilot program before spreading to regional clinics across the country.
Vista is located in the Tri-Cities Washington area which is convenient for interactions with key personnel of the Company. The
pilot is being used to
●
Refine
the Memorandum of Understanding to define all the germane interfaces, roles and liabilities between Vista Inc and the private
clinics, including the pilot responsivity to document and share the key aspects of all therapies with the Company;
●
Create
and implement proprietary certification training packages;
●
Amend
the production center radioactive material license at IsoTherapeutics, the Company’s IsoPet ® production
center, to allow distribution for commercial applications;
●
Work
with the pilot program to obtain a radioactive material licensing in an NRC agreement state;
●
Create
equipment and supplies list;
●
Create
and post regulatory signage;
●
Explore
different IsoPet ® pricing options;
●
Evaluate
different approaches to obtain patients;
●
Optimize
patient scheduling practices to reduce cost to the pet owners;
●
Develop
communication material and a liability document for the pet owners; and
●
Further
refine the therapy techniques for advanced cancers.
Vista
Veterinary Hospital has done well on two audits by the Washington State Department of Health. The Company is working closely with
the Washington State Department of Health to refine and improve the radioactive material license. The Company has added several
detailed procedures, which will benefit future regional clinics. In addition, a second veterinarian has completed all the preliminary
requirements to become certified. All that remains is to demonstrate proficiency in three therapies.
The
testing at the universities and at Vista Veterinary Hospital have demonstrated that IsoPet ® is effective on killing
cancer tissue in close proximity to the injections. It is most effective in early cases before the cancer has begun to spread.
Later stage cancers are more difficult to treat since the tendrils from the primary cancer site are not well defined and therefore
can lead to recurrence.
There
have been 63 expressions of interest in IsoPet ® therapy from across the United States, but only about 10% of these
were treated and they were very advanced cases. The reasons are instructive. Most of the cases were for so advanced that the pet
parents found out about IsoPet ® on the Internet as a last hope. Several others were internal cancers that could
not be reached, for example deep in the throat. Several cases were treatable, but the pets weighed more than 20 pounds and the
pet parents were not willing to fly them in the “Safe Cargo” holds. Those patients would have been treated by regional
clinics once we implement that strategy. Several cases were mast cell cancers. The Company is confident that those tumors could
have been treated, but once killed they release mast cells in a process called granulation. This could cause a shock to the animal’s
system. The Company will focus one of our clinical studies on the optimum approach for those therapies.
28
Vista
Veterinary Hospital accepted advanced cancer cases and has gained experience to extend the animal’s lives. The first cat
was terminally ill and had previously had external beam, surgery and chemotherapy. The facial tumor was treated with 400 Gy and
the biopsy confirmed that the cancer was killed. In about seven months the cancer returned in the throat and could not be treated
so the cat had to be put down. Dr. Bauder, the veterinarian pet parent, was still elated about the life extension and is asking
us to use him as a reference. The other cases were also very advanced with multiple tumors and they recurred since they had already
spread before therapy. One animal, Yukon had a large tumor on his leg that was recommended for amputation. The tumor size decreased
50% after the first treatment, but then stopped decreasing. For the first time a second therapy was administered and the tumor
has continued to decrease in size.
The
Company’s efforts are now to obtain more early-stage cancer patients. The biggest obstacle is to convince the veterinarians
of the pet parents to agree with IsoPet ® therapy rather than using a more traditional method such as surgery. This
is a slow process due to the conservative nature of the veterinarian professions. This is the prime motivation to continue with
additional clinical trials and to publish the results.
Regulatory
History
Human
Therapy
RadioGel™
has a long regulatory history with the Food and Drug Administration (“ FDA ”). Initially, the Company submitted
a presubmission (Q130140) to obtain FDA feedback about the proposed product. The FDA requested that the Company file a request
for designation with the Office of Combination Products (RFD130051), which led to the determination that RadioGel™ is a
device for human therapy for non-resectable cancers, which must be reviewed and ultimately regulated by the Center for Devices
and Radiological Health (“ CDRH ”). The Company then submitted a 510(k) notice for RadioGel™ (K133368),
which was found Not Substantially Equivalent due to the lack of a suitable predicate, and RadioGel™ was assigned to the
Class III product code NAW (microspheres). Class III products or devices are generally the highest risk devices and are therefore
subject to the highest level of regulatory review, control and oversight. Class III products or devices must typically be approved
by FDA before they are marketed. Class II devices represent lower risk products or devices than Class III and require fewer regulatory
controls to provide reasonable assurance of the product’s or device’s safety and effectiveness. In contrast, Class
I products and devices are deemed to be lower risk than Class I or II, and are therefore subject to the least regulatory controls.
A
pre-submission meeting (Q140496) was held with the FDA on June 17, 2014, during which the FDA maintained that RadioGel™
should be considered a Class III device and therefore subject to pre-market approval. On December 29, 2014, the Company submitted
a de novo petition for RadioGel™ (DEN140043). The de novo petition was denied by the FDA on June 1, 2015,
with the FDA providing numerous comments and questions. On September 29, 2015, the Company submitted a follow-up pre-submission
informational meeting request with the FDA (Q151569). This meeting took place on November 9, 2015, at which time the FDA indicated
acceptance of the Company’s applied dosimetry methods and clarified the FDA’s outstanding questions regarding RadioGel™.
Following the November 2015 pre-submission meeting, the Company prepared a new pre-submission package to obtain FDA feedback on
the proposed testing methods, intended to address the concerns raised by the FDA staff and to address the suitability of RadioGel™
for de novo reclassification. This pre-submission package was presented to the FDA in a meeting on August 29, 2017. During
the August 2017 meeting, the FDA clarified their position on the remaining pre-clinical testing needed for RadioGel™. Specifically,
the FDA addressed proposed dosimetry calculating techniques, dosimetry distribution between injections, hydrogel viscoelastic
properties, and the details of the Company’s proposed animal testing.
The
Company believes that its submissions to the FDA to date have addressed all the FDA staff’s feedback over the past four
years. Of particular importance, the Company has provided corresponding supporting data for proposed future testing of RadioGel™
to address any remaining questions raised by the FDA. We believe, although no assurances can be given, that the clinical testing
modifications presented to the FDA in August 2017 will result in a de novo reclassification for RadioGel™ by the
FDA. In addition, in previous FDA submittals, the Company proposed applying RadioGel™ for a very broad range of cancer therapies,
referred to as Indication for Use. The FDA requested that the Company reduce its Indications for Use. To comply with that request,
the Company expanded its Medical Advisory Board (“ MAB ”) and engaged doctors from respected hospitals who have
evaluated the candidate cancer therapies based on three criteria: (1) potential for FDA approval and successful therapy;
(2) notable advantage over current therapies; and (3) probability of wide-spread acceptance by the medical community.
29
In
November 2020 the Company submitted a request for a Breakthrough Device Designation. Ultimately, this was denied, but the FDA
acknowledged, “The FDA does believe that RadioGel™ meets criterion #2a: Device represents breakthrough technology.
Your device does meet this criterion because it is a novel application of a brachytherapy device outside of the liver.”
More importantly the process resulted in a rapid review of our existing data and approach. It led to a redirection of our efforts
on writing the IDE and saved the Company much time in the review of that future application.
The
MAB selected eighteen applications for RadioGel™, each of which meet the criteria described above. This large number confirms
the wide applicability of the device and defines the path for future business growth. The Company’s application establishes
a single Indication for Use - treatment of cancerous tissue or solid tumors pathologically associated with locoregional papillary
thyroid carcinoma and recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma. We anticipate that this initial application will facilitate each
subsequent application for additional Indications for Use, and the testing for many of the subsequent applications could be conducted
in parallel, depending on available resources.
Financing
and Strategy
The
Company’s stock offering under Regulation A+ was qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
on June 3, 2020.
The
Company over the past twelve months has raised approximately $4,000,000 from the sale of shares under Regulation A+, and intends
to use the proceeds generated as follows:
For
the animal therapy market:
●
Fund
the effort to communicate the benefits of IsoPet ® to the veterinary community and the pet parents.
●
Conduct
additional clinical studies to generate more data for the veterinary community
●
Subsidize
some IsoPet ® therapies, if necessary, to ensure that all viable candidates are treated.
●
Assist
a new regional clinic with their license and certification training.
For
the human market:
●
Enhance
the pedigree of the Quality Management System.
●
Complete
the previously defined pre-clinical testing and additional testing on an animal model closely aligned with our revised indication
for use. Report the results to the FDA in a pre-submission meeting.
●
Use
the feedback from that meeting to write the IDE (Investigational Device Exemption), which is required to initiate clinical
trials.
Research
and development of the Company’s brachytherapy product line has been funded with proceeds from the sale of equity and debt
securities. The Company may require additional funding of approximately $2 million annually to maintain current operating activities.
Over the next 12 to 24 months, the Company believes it will cost approximately $9 million to: (1) fund the FDA approval process
to conduct human clinical trials, (2) conduct Phase I, pilot, clinical trials, (3) activate several regional clinics to administer
IsoPet ® across the county, (4) create an independent production center within the current production site to create
a template for future international manufacturing, and (5) initiate regulatory approval processes outside of the United States.
The
continued deployment of the brachytherapy products and a worldwide regulatory approval effort will require additional resources
and personnel. The principal variables in the timing and amount of spending for the brachytherapy products in the next 12 to 24
months will be the FDA’s classification of the Company’s brachytherapy products as Class II or Class III devices (or
otherwise) and any requirements for additional studies which may possibly include clinical studies. Thereafter, the principal
variables in the amount of the Company’s spending and its financing requirements would be the timing of any approvals and
the nature of the Company’s arrangements with third parties for manufacturing, sales, distribution and licensing of those
products and the products’ success in the U.S. and elsewhere. The Company intends to fund its activities through strategic
transactions such as licensing and partnership agreements or additional capital raises.
30
Following
receipt of required regulatory approvals and financing, in the U.S., the Company intends to outsource material aspects of manufacturing,
distribution, sales and marketing. Outside of the U.S., the Company intends to pursue licensing arrangements and/or partnerships
to facilitate its global commercialization strategy.
In
the longer-term, subject to the Company receiving adequate funding, regulatory approval for RadioGel™ and other brachytherapy
products, and thereafter being able to successfully commercialize its brachytherapy products, the Company intends to consider
resuming research efforts with respect to other products and technologies intended to help improve the diagnosis and treatment
of cancer and other illnesses.
Based
on the Company’s financial history since inception, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has
expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has limited revenue,
nominal cash, and has accumulated deficits since inception. If the Company cannot obtain sufficient additional capital, the Company
will be required to delay the implementation of its business strategy and may not be able to continue operations.
The
Company has been impacted from the effects of COVID-19. The Company’s headquarters are in Northeast Washington however there
focus of the animal therapy market has been the Northwestern sector of the United States, the initial epicenter of the COVID-19
outbreak in the United States. The Company is hopeful that by the end of the third quarter of 2021, they will be allowed to continue
their marketing to the animal therapy market and attempt to increase the exposure to their product and generate revenue accordingly.
As
of March 31, 2021, the Company has $2,511,845 cash on hand. There are currently commitments to vendors for products and services
purchased. To continue the development of the Company’s products, the current level of cash may not be enough to cover the
fixed and variable obligations of the Company.
There
is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or to do so at an advantageous price.
Product
Features
The
Company’s RadioGel™ device has the following product features:
●
Beta
particles only travel a short distance so the device can deliver high radiation to the tumor with minimal dose to the nearby
normal tissues. In medical terms Y-90 beta emitter has a high efficacy rate;
●
Benefitting
from the short penetration distance, the patient can go home immediately with no fear of exposure to family members, and there
is a greatly reduced radiation risk to the doctor. A simple plastic tube around the syringe, gloves and safety glasses are
all that is required. Other gamma emitting products require much more protection;
●
A
2.7-day half-life means that only 5% of the radiation remains after ten days. This is in contrast to the industry-standard
gamma irradiation product, which has a half-life of 17 days;
●
The
short half-life also means that any medical waste can be stored for thirty days then disposed as normal hospital waste;
●
RadioGel™
can be administered with small diameter needles (27-gauge) so there is minimal damage to the normal tissue. This is in contrast
to the injection of metal seeds, which does considerable damage; and
●
After
about 120 days the gel resorbs by a normal biological cycle, called the Krebs Cycle. The only remaining evidence of the treatment
are phosphate particles so small in diameter that it requires a high-resolution microscope to find them. This is in contrast
to permanent presence of metal seeds.
31
Steps
from Production to Therapy
Device
Production
During
the next two years, the Company intends to outsource material aspects of manufacturing and distribution. As future product volume
increases, the Company will reassess its make-buy decision on manufacturing and will analyze the cost/benefit of a centrally located
facility.
Production
of the Hydrogel
RadioGel™
is manufactured with a proprietary process under ventilated sterile hood by following strict Good Laboratory Practices (“ GLP ”)
procedures. It is made in large batches that are frozen for up to three months. When the product is ready to ship, a small quantity
of the gel is dissolved in a sterile saline solution. It is then passed through an ultra-fine filter to ensure sterility.
Production
of the Yttrium-90 Phosphate Particles
The
Y-90 particles are produced with simple ingredients via a proprietary process, again following strict GLP procedures. They are
then mixed into a phosphate-buffered saline solution. They can be produced in large batches for several shipments. The number
of particles per shipment is determined by the dose prescribed by the doctor.
Shipment
RadioGel™
is shipped in two containers, one with a solution of the gel and the other with a solution of the particles. Before shipment they
are subjected to sterility testing, again by strict procedures. The vial with the Y-90 is put through a special radiation calibrator,
which measures beta particles. The vials can be shipped via FedEx or UPS by following the proper protocols.
At
the User
The
user receives the two vials. The solution containing the RadioGel™ is mixed with the solution containing the Y-90 particles.
This is then shaken to ensure homogeneity and withdrawn into a syringe. The quantities that are mixed are calculated from the
information on the product label.
The
specific injection technique depends on the Indication for Use. For small tumors, one centimeter in diameter or less, the cancer
is treated with a single injection. For larger tumors, the cancer is treated with a series of small injections from the same syringe
or multiple syringes.
Principal
Markets
The
Company is currently pursuing two synergistic business sectors, medical and veterinary, each of which are summarized below.
Medical
Sector
RadioGel™
is currently fully developed, requiring only FDA approval before commercialization. The Company has been seeking FDA approval
of RadioGel™ for almost five years. Recent progress has been delayed due to a lack of adequate funding. The principal issue
preventing approval is that the Company attempted to obtain regulatory approval for a broad range of Indications for Use, including
all non-resectable cancers, without sufficient supporting data.
32
Building
on the FDA’s ruling of RadioGel™ as a device, the Company is currently developing test plans to address issues raised
in the Company’s prior FDA submittal regarding RadioGel™. The Company intends to request FDA approval to submit RadioGel™
for de novo classification, which would reclassify the device from a Class III device to a Class II device and accelerate
the regulatory approval path.
After
analyzing the Company’s data and the last five years of communication from the FDA, the Company has taken the following
steps:
1.
Under
new leadership, the Company is implementing all past recommendations from the FDA. The Company intends to narrow the Indications
for Use, will provide test plans for FDA review to respond to answer all previous FDA questions, and will request a pre-submission
meeting;
2.
Prepare
a pre-submission request document and FDA meeting request to obtain feedback on the test plans in order to initiate testing,
to present the proposed content for the final application and to request permission to submit a de novo;
3.
Submit
an Investigational Device Exemption (“ IDE ”) to obtain permission to conduct human clinical studies; and
4.
File
a de novo or Pre-Market Approval application.
The
critical path is the required testing – in vitro, animal testing, human clinical studies – all of which is resource
dependent.
In
previous submittals, the Company proposed applying a very broad range of cancer therapies, referred to as Indications for Use,
to RadioGel™. The FDA has strongly advised the Company to reduce its Indications for Use. To comply with that request, the
Company has expanded its MAB, consisting of Drs. Barry D. Pressman (Chairman), Albert DeNittis, and Howard Sandler.
The
MAB evaluated the candidate cancer therapies based on three criteria: (i) the potential for FDA approval and successful therapy;
(ii) notable advantages of RadioGel™ over current therapies; and (iii) the likelihood that RadioGel™ can be widely
accepted by the medical community and profitably commercialized.
The
MAB selected eighteen Indications for Use for RadioGel™, each of which meets the above-mentioned criteria. These eighteen
Indications for Use are listed below. This large number confirms the wide applicability of the device and defines the path for
future growth. The Company intends to apply to the FDA for a single Indication for Use, followed by subsequent applications for
additional Indications for Use. The initial application should facilitate each subsequent application, and the testing for many
of the subsequent applications could be conducted in parallel, depending on available resources.

After
thorough review to prioritize indications, the MAB has selected basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancers) as the first
Indication for Use to be presented to the FDA. According to American Cancer Society, one out of every three new cancers diagnosed
in the U.S. is a cancerous skin lesion of this type, representing 5.5 million tumors annually. The MAB believes RadioGel™
will be the preferred treatment in a reasonable number of cases in a very large market.

Veterinary
Sector
There
are approximately 150 million pet dogs and cats in the United States. Nearly one-half of dogs and one-third of cats are diagnosed
with cancer at some point in their lifetime. The Veterinary Oncology & Hematology Center in Norwalk, Connecticut, reports
that cancer is the number one natural cause of death in older cats and dogs, accounting for nearly 50 percent of pet deaths each
year. The American Veterinary Medical Association reports that half of the dogs ten years or older will die because of cancer.
The National Cancer Institute reports that about six million dogs are diagnosed with cancer each year, translating to more than
16,000 a day.
The
Company’s IsoPet ® operating division focuses on the veterinary oncology market. Dr. Alice Villalobos, a founding
member of the Veterinary Cancer Society and the Chair of our Veterinary Medicine Advisory Board, has been providing guidance to
management regarding this market. The Veterinary Medicine Advisory Board gives us recommendations regarding the overall strategy
for our animal business sector. Specially, they recommended the university veterinary hospitals for demonstration therapies, the
specific cancers to be treated, and have provided business contact information to the private clinics.
Development
of the product and application techniques and animal testing is allowed under FDA regulation. Commercial sales of RadioGel TM
for animals requires confirmation by the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine (“ CVM ”). In January 2018,
the Center for Veterinary Medicine Product Classification Group, the entity within the CVM that is responsible for determining
the classification of a product, ruled that RadioGel TM should be classified as a device for animal therapy of feline
sarcomas and canine soft tissue sarcomas.
Additionally,
after a legal review, the Company believes that the device classification obtained from the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine
is not limited to canine and feline sarcomas, but rather may be extended to a much broader population of veterinary cancers, including
all or most all solid tumors in animals. We expect the result of such classification and label approval will be that no additional
regulatory approvals are necessary for the use of RadioGel TM for the treatment of solid tumors in animals. The FDA
does not have premarket authority over devices with a veterinary classification, and the manufacturers are responsible for assuring
that the product is safe, effective, properly labeled, and otherwise in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
The
Company currently intends to utilize university veterinary hospitals for therapy development, given that veterinary hospitals
offer superior and plentiful veterinarians and students, a large number of animal patients, radioactive material handling licenses,
and are respected by private veterinary centers and hospitals.
Pursuant
to the terms of the grant with Washington State University, it was responsible for conducting studies regarding in vivo dosimetry
and toxicity of intralesional Y-90 phosphate nanoparticles for the treatment of spontaneous feline and canine sarcomas. The term
of the grant was October 1, 2016 through January 31, 2018. The Company provided the university with the RadioGel TM
required to complete the studies, as well as technical support for dosimetry calculations. All payments provided to Washington
State University in relation to the grant were made by Washington State Life Sciences Discovery Fund pursuant to a grant and were
not paid by the Company. To compliment the grant, additional scope was added to explore the option of pre-mixing the vials prior
to shipment and the Company was reimbursed $17,583 as a separate contract to the grant.
Pursuant
to the terms of the contract with the University of Missouri, it was responsible for conducting studies regarding in vivo dosimetry
and toxicity of intralesional Y-90 phosphate nanoparticles for the treatment of soft tissue carcinoma and equine sarcoids. The
term of the contract was initially from November 1, 2017 through October 31, 2018, but it has recently been working to extend
this contract through testing completion on canine soft tissue sarcoma and equine sarcoids, plus additional tumors of interest
defined by the University of Missouri principal investigators. This extension is dependent upon keeping current with paying for
the expenses of the ongoing therapies.
Competitors
The
Company competes in a market characterized by technological innovation, extensive research efforts, and significant competition.
34
The
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological changes.
A number of companies are pursuing the development of pharmaceuticals and products that target the same diseases and conditions
that our products target. We cannot predict with accuracy the timing or impact of the introduction of potentially competitive
products or their possible effect on our sales. Certain potentially competitive products to our products may be in various stages
of development. Also, there may be many ongoing studies with currently marketed products and other developmental products, which
may yield new data that could adversely impact the use of our products in their current and potential future Indications for Use.
The introduction of competitive products could significantly reduce our sales, which, in turn would adversely impact our financial
and operating results.
There
are a wide variety of cancer treatments approved and marketed in the U.S. and globally. General categories of treatment include
surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and immunotherapy. These products have a diverse set of success rates and side effects.
The Company’s products, including RadioGel™, fall into the brachytherapy treatment category. There are a number of
brachytherapy devices currently marketed in the U.S. and globally. The traditional iodine-125 (I-125) and palladium-103 (Pd-103)
technologies for brachytherapy are well entrenched with powerful market players controlling the market. The industry-standard
I-125-based therapy was developed by Oncura, which is a unit of General Electric Company. Additionally, C.R. Bard, a major industry
player competes in the I-125 brachytherapy marketplace. These market competitors are also involved in the distribution of Pd-103
based products. Cs-131 brachytherapy products are sold by IsoRay. Several Y-90 therapies have been FDA approved including SIR-Spheres
by Sirtex, TheraSphere by Biocompatibles UK and Zevalin by Spectrum Pharmaceuticals.
Raw
Materials
The
Company currently subcontracts the manufacturing of RadioGel TM at IsoTherapeutics. Eckert and Ziegler the only supplier
of Y-90 in the United States, is the sole supplier of the Y-90 used by IsoTherapeutics to manufacture the Company’s RadioGel™.
The Company obtains supplies, hardware, handling equipment and packaging from several different U.S. suppliers.
Customers
The
Company anticipates that potential customers for our potential brachytherapy products likely would include those institutions
and individuals that currently purchase brachytherapy products or other oncology treatment products.
Government
Regulation
The
Company’s present and future intended activities in the development, manufacturing and sale of cancer therapy products,
including RadioGel™, are subject to extensive laws, regulations, regulatory approvals and guidelines. Within the United
States, the Company’s therapeutic radiological devices must comply with the U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which
is enforced by FDA. The Company is also required to adhere to applicable FDA Quality System Regulations, also known as the Good
Manufacturing Practices, which include extensive record keeping and periodic inspections of manufacturing facilities.
In
the United States, the FDA regulates, among other things, new product clearances and approvals to establish the safety and efficacy
of these products. We are also subject to other federal and state laws and regulations, including the Occupational Safety and
Health Act and the Environmental Protection Act.
The
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and other federal statutes and regulations govern or influence the research, testing, manufacture,
safety, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, distribution, use, reporting, advertising and promotion of such products.
Noncompliance with applicable requirements can result in civil penalties, recall, injunction or seizure of products, refusal of
the government to approve or clear product approval applications, disqualification from sponsoring or conducting clinical investigations,
preventing us from entering into government supply contracts, withdrawal of previously approved applications, and criminal prosecution.
35
In
the United States, medical devices are classified into three different categories over which the FDA applies increasing levels
of regulation: Class I, Class II, and Class III. Most Class I devices are exempt from premarket notification 510(k); most Class
II devices require premarket notification 510(k); and most Class III devices require premarket approval. RadioGel™ is currently
classified as a Class III device.
Approval
of new Class III medical devices is a lengthy procedure and can take a number of years and require the expenditure of significant
resources. There is a shorter FDA review and clearance process for Class II medical devices, the premarket notification or 510(k)
process, whereby a company can market certain Class II medical devices that can be shown to be substantially equivalent to other
legally marketed devices.
The
Company intends to apply for a de novo with an anticipated expenditure of $10.0 million over the next four years. This
expenditure estimate includes anticipated costs associated with in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical testing, our application for
an Investigational Device Exemption, Phase I and Phase II clinical trials and our application for a de novo .
As
a registered medical device manufacturer with the FDA, we are subject to inspection to ensure compliance with FDA’s current
Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP. These regulations require that we and any of our contract manufacturers design, manufacture
and service products, and maintain documents in a prescribed manner with respect to manufacturing, testing, distribution, storage,
design control, and service activities. Modifications or enhancements that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness
of a device or that constitute a major change to the intended use of the device require a new 510(k) premarket notification for
any significant product modification.
The
Medical Device Reporting regulation requires that we provide information to the FDA on deaths or serious injuries alleged to be
associated with the use of our devices, as well as product malfunctions that are likely to cause or contribute to death or serious
injury if the malfunction were to recur. Labeling and promotional activities are regulated by the FDA and, in some circumstances,
by the Federal Trade Commission.
As
a medical device manufacturer, we are also subject to laws and regulations administered by governmental entities at the federal,
state and local levels. For example, our facility is licensed as a medical device manufacturing facility in the State of Washington
and is subject to periodic state regulatory inspections. Our customers are also subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations
that could affect the nature and scope of their relationships with us.
In
the United States, as a manufacturer of medical devices and devices utilizing radioactive byproduct material, we are subject to
extensive regulation by not only federal governmental authorities, such as the FDA and FAA, but also by state and local governmental
authorities, such as the Washington State Department of Health, to ensure such devices are safe and effective. In Washington State,
the Department of Health, by agreement with the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“ NRC ”), regulates the
possession, use, and disposal of radioactive byproduct material as well as the manufacture of radioactive sealed sources to ensure
compliance with state and federal laws and regulations. RadioGel™ constitutes both medical devices and radioactive sealed
sources and are subject to these regulations.
Moreover,
our use, management, and disposal of certain radioactive substances and wastes are subject to regulation by several federal and
state agencies depending on the nature of the substance or waste material. We believe that we are in compliance with all federal
and state regulations for this purpose.
Environmental
Regulation
Our
business does not require us to comply with any extraordinary environmental regulations. Our RadioGel™ product is manufactured
in an independently owned and operated facility. Any environmental effects or contamination event that could result would be from
the shipping company during shipment and misuse by the treatment facility upon arrival.
36
Human
Capital
As
of March 31, 2021, the Company had one full-time personnel. The Company utilizes several independent contractors to assist with
its operations. The Company does not have a collective bargaining agreement with any of its personnel and believes its relations
with its personnel are good.

Operating
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $235,090 and $120,373, respectively. The increase in operating
expenses from 2020 to 2021 can be attributed to the increase in professional fees ($53,992 for the three months ended March 31,
2020 versus $78,214 for the three months ended March 31, 2021) as the Company utilized more services due to amending their Regulation
A+ and the fees incurred for the consultants engaged; the increase in general and administrative expense ($35,353 for the three
months ended March 31, 2020 versus $35,835 for the three months ended March 31, 2021); the increase in research and development
($1,028 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 versus $71,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2021) as the Company ramped
up the development of their products with the recent raising of capital , and an increase in payroll expenses ($30,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2020 versus $49,341 for the three months ended March 31, 2021) related to the deferred compensation
criteria in the CEOs employment contract taking effect.

Non-operating
income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 varied from the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to
a decrease in interest expense from $239,858 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $6,549 for the three months ended March
31, 2021 as a result of conversions of notes payable. The majority of the interest recorded by the Company consists of amortization
of debt discount, BCF discount and the exchange premium resulting in additional shares to the noteholders on conversion. In addition,
the Company converted a note in January 2021 which resulted in a loss on conversion and recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt
on old payables as they satisfied the agreement with this vendor to pay a portion of the payable with the remaining amount forgiven.
Net
Loss
Our
net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $(288,189) and $(360,231), respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
March 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $1,831,748, as compared to working capital of $32,034 at December 31, 2020.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company experienced negative cash flow from operations of $203,097 and realized
$1,811,238 of cash flows from financing activities. As of March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any commitments for capital
expenditures.
Cash
used in operating activities increased from $87,247 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $203,097 for the three months
ended March 31, 2021. Cash used in operating activities was primarily a result of the Company’s non-cash items, such as
loss from operations, loss conversion of debt as well as forgiveness of debt as well as the changes in prepaid expenses and accounts
payable. Cash provided from financing activities increased from $71,870 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $1,811,238
for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in cash provided from financing activities was primarily a result of increase
in proceeds from the Regulation A+ where the Company raised $1,811,238 from common stock and warrant issuances in 2021 versus,
the proceeds from convertible notes and related party notes of $115,000, proceeds from the sale of common stock of $6,870 and
payment on the redemption of preferred stock of $50,000 in 2020.
The
Company has generated material operating losses since inception. The Company had a net loss of $288,189 for the three months ended
March 31, 2021, and a net loss of $360,231 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company expects to continue to experience
net operating losses for the foreseeable future. Historically, the Company has relied upon investor funds to maintain its operations
and develop the Company’s business. The Company anticipates raising additional capital within the next twelve months for
working capital as well as business expansion, although the Company can provide no assurance that additional capital will be available
on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing to meet its working capital
requirements, it may have to curtail its business or cease all operations.
Over
the next 12 to 24 months, the Company believes it will cost approximately $2 million to fund: (1) fund the FDA approval process
to conduct human clinical trials, (2) conduct Phase I, pilot, clinical trials, (3) activate several regional clinics to administer
IsoPet ® across the county, (4) create an independent production center within the current production site to create
a template for future international manufacturing, and (5) initiate regulatory approval processes outside of the United States.
38
The
principal variables in the timing and amount of spending for the brachytherapy products in the next 12 to 24 months will be the
FDA’s classification of the Company’s brachytherapy products as Class II or Class III devices (or otherwise) and any
requirements for additional studies, which may possibly include clinical studies. Thereafter, the principal variables in the amount
of the Company’s spending and its financing requirements would be the timing of any approvals and the nature of the Company’s
arrangements with third parties for manufacturing, sales, distribution and licensing of those products and the products’
success in the U.S. and elsewhere. The Company intends to fund its activities through strategic transactions such as licensing
and partnership agreements or additional capital raises.
Although
the Company is seeking to raise additional capital and has engaged in numerous discussions with investment bankers and investors,
to date, the Company has not received firm commitments for the required funding. Based upon its discussions, the Company anticipates
that if the Company is able to obtain the funding required to retire outstanding debt, pay past due payables and maintain its
current operating activities, that the terms associated with such funding will result in material dilution to existing shareholders.
Recent
geopolitical events, including the inherent instability and volatility in global capital markets, as well as the lack of liquidity
in the capital markets, could impact the Company’s ability to obtain financing and its ability to execute its business plan.
Accounting
Policies and Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and
on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. During the period ended March 31, 2021, we believe there have been no significant
changes to the items disclosed as significant accounting policies in management’s notes to the consolidated financial statements
in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed on March 24, 2021.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
The
Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the
Company’s financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
