1. Description of Business
Nature
of Business
Sharps
Technology, Inc. (“Sharps” or the “Company”) is a pre-revenue medical device company that has designed and patented
various safety syringes and is seeking commercialization by manufacturing and distribution of its products.
The
Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.
On
April 14, 2022, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering and received net proceeds of $ 14.2 million. (See Note 14(b)).
Note
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
in the United States (“U.S.”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates and assumptions that require management’s
most significant, difficult, and subjective judgment include the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense, contingent
stock liability, contingent warrant liability, inventory obsolescence provision, depreciation of fixed assets and deferred tax asset
valuation. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management’s estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date
of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions.
Inventories
The
Company values inventory at the lower of cost (average cost) or net realizable value. Work-in-process and finished goods inventories
consist of material, labor, and manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course
of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. A reserve is established for any excess
or obsolete inventories or they may be written off. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, inventory is comprised of raw
materials.

Fair
Value Measurements
ASC
820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, require an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding
the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be
used to measure fair value.
Level
1
Level
1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations
are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do no entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level
2
Level
2 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets
or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent
transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally
from, or corroborated by, observable market date.
Level
2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments
are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates,
maturity, issuer credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed
most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.
Level
3
Level
3 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement
of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.
Fixed
Assets
Fixed
assets are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company’s fixed
assets consist of machinery, molds and website. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method commencing on the date the
asset is operating in the way intended by management over the following useful lives: Machinery and Equipment – 3 - 10 years and
Website – 3 years. The expected life for Molds is based number of parts that will be produced based on the expected mold capability.

Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets are reviewed annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted
cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from
the asset.
There
were no impairment losses recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Goodwill
and Purchased Identified Intangible Assets
Goodwill
When
applicable, goodwill will be recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the
fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired under a business combination. Goodwill also includes acquired
assembled workforce, which does not qualify as an identifiable intangible asset. The Company reviews impairment of goodwill annually
in the third quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. The Company first assesses
qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the
totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit
is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. If, based on the qualitative assessment,
it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company
proceeds to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company first determines the fair value of a reporting unit using
weighted results derived from an income approach and a market approach. The income approach is estimated through the discounted cash
flow method based on assumptions about future conditions such as future revenue growth rates, new product and technology introductions,
gross margins, operating expenses, discount rates, future economic and market conditions, and other assumptions. The market approach
estimates the fair value of the Company’s equity by utilizing the market comparable method which is based on revenue multiples
from comparable companies in similar lines of business. The Company then compares the derived fair value of a reporting unit with its
carrying amount. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount
equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Identified
Intangible Assets
When
applicable, the Company’s identified intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
The Company makes judgments about the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate that
the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and
circumstances exist, the Company assesses recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related
asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the
excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company
would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. The Company evaluates
the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis, and an impairment charge would be recognized to the extent
that the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their estimated fair value.

Stock-based
Compensation Expense
The
Company measures its stock-based awards made to employees based on the estimated fair values of the awards as of the grant date. For
stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For restricted stock awards, the estimated fair value is
generally the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite
service period and is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. The Company
recognizes forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur on a prospective basis.
Stock-based
compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees as consideration for services received is measured on the date of performance
at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be more reliably measured.
Basic
and Diluted Loss Per Share
The
Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted
earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income
(loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the year.
Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible
preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining
the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential
shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Income
Taxes
The
Company must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates
and judgments are used in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits, tax deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred taxes
and tax liabilities. Significant changes to these estimates may result in an increase or decrease to the Company’s tax provision
in a subsequent period.
The
provision for income taxes was comprised of the Company’s current tax liability and changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
The calculation of the current tax liability involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations
and in determining the liability for tax positions, if any, taken on the Company’s tax returns in accordance with authoritative
guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial
reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company must assess the likelihood that it will be able to recover the Company’s
deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely on a more-likely-than-not basis, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes
by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that it estimates will not ultimately be recoverable. However, should
there be a change in the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes would fluctuate in
the period of such change.
Research
and Development Costs
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Advance
payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized.
Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Contingencies
From
time to time, the Company may be involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. The Company records a
liability in its financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably
estimated. Management reviews these estimates in each accounting period as additional information becomes known and adjusts the loss
provision when appropriate. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in the consolidated
financial statements. If a loss is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the loss contingency
and an estimate of possible loss or range of loss (unless such an estimate cannot be made). The Company does not recognize gain contingencies
until they are realized. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Note
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
March 2020, the FASB issued ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform . ASC Topic 848 provides relief for impacted areas as it relates
to impending reference rate reform. ASC Topic 848 contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt arrangements,
contracts, hedging relationships, and other areas or transactions that are impacted by reference rate reform. This guidance is effective
upon issuance for all entities and elections of certain optional expedients are required to apply the provisions of the guidance.
On
August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives
and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) , which simplifies the accounting for certain financial
instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own
equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. ASU
2020-06 simplifies the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments, requires entities to
provide expanded disclosures about “the terms and features of convertible instruments” and how the instruments have been
reported in the entity’s financial statements. It also removes from ASC 815-40-25-10 certain conditions for equity classification
and amends certain guidance in ASC 260, Earnings per Share , on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts
on an entity’s own equity. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to adopt the ASU’s guidance.
The ASU’s amendments are effective for smaller public business entities fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company
continues to assess all potential impact of the standard and will disclose the nature and reason for any elections that the Company makes.
The
Company does not expect the adoption of any accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Agreement
In
June 2020, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) and amendments to the Agreement through April
28, 2022, collectively, the Agreements, to purchase either the stock or certain assets of a manufacturing facility for $ 2.5 M in cash,
plus additional consideration of 28,571 shares of common stock with a fair market value of $ 7.00 and 35,714 stock options with an exercise
price of $ 7.00 . At March 31, 2022, the fair market value of the common stock of $ 200,000 and the vested options of $ 163,602 is included
in Other Assets, The Agreements provided the Company various periods for due diligence and post due diligence, requirements for escrow
payments of $ 150,000 and a closing date is expected by June 30, 2022 (“Closing Date”).
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company has paid $ 150,000 in escrow payments, which is recorded in Other Assets. The escrow payments may be forfeited
upon: the occurrence of any damage to the assets caused by the actions of the Company; the occurrence of any debt on the books of the
seller as a result of an expense initiated by the Company; any failure by the Company to fund the Operating Costs; and any material breach
by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement that causes any financial damage to either the seller or the assets. On the Closing
Date, the Escrow balances will be applied to the final payment due the Sellers.
Through
the Closing Date, the Agreements provide the Company with the exclusive use of the facility in exchange for payment of the facility’s
operating costs. The monthly fee (“Operating Costs”), which primarily covers the facility’s operating costs, is mainly
comprised of the seller’s workforce costs, materials and other recurring monthly operating cost.

Acquisition
Agreement
The
payment of the Operating Costs does not provide the Company with rights associated with a rent agreement. As a result, the payment of
operating costs was concluded not to be in substance a lease agreement, and therefore no right-of-use asset or lease liability were recognized.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had remitted $ 275,000 and $ 150,000 , respectively for the aforementioned
Operating Costs. These costs were included in research and development expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss
as the activities at the facility in 2022 and 2021 were related to design and testing of the Company’s products.
Note
6. Note Purchase Agreement
On
December 14, 2021, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“NPA”) with three unrelated third-party purchasers
(“Purchasers”). The Purchasers provided financing to the Company in the form of bridge financing, aggregating principal of
$ 2,000,000 (the “Notes”). The principal under the Notes shall be payable on the earlier of (i) December 14, 2022, and (ii)
the date on which the Company consummates an initial public offering (“IPO”), herein referred to as the “Maturity Date”.
The Notes bear interest at 8 % with interest payments due monthly. The Company and the Purchasers have entered into a Security Agreement
whereby the Notes are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company, both tangible and intangible both currently owned
with stated exclusions, as defined, and any future acquired with stated exclusions, as defined.
The
NPA provides for covenants that until all of the Notes have been converted, exchanged, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance
with their terms, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its subsidiaries without the prior written consent of
the Purchasers, a) incur or guarantee any new debt, b) issue any securities that would cause a breach or default under the NPA, c) incur
any liens other than permitted, d) redeem or repurchase shares, e) declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution, e) sell, lease or
dispose of assets other than in the ordinary course of business or f) engage in different line of business.
As
additional consideration to the Purchasers for providing the financing, the Company also agreed to a) issue each Purchaser a number of
shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 50% of the original principal amount each Purchaser’s Note (the “Contingent
Stock”) and b) issue each Purchaser a number of warrants, which would allow the Purchasers to purchase additional shares of the
Company’s Common Stock, equal to 50% of the original principal amount each Purchaser’s Note for a term of 5.5 years (the
“Contingent Warrants”) .
For
both the Contingent Stock and the Contingent Warrants, the number of shares and warrants that each Purchaser will be issued is unknown
at the time of the NPA and will be determined based on a formula of 50% of the original principal amount divided by a “Subsequent
Offering Price” based on the valuation in a future offering of Common stock or other equity interest in the Company (such offering
referred to as a “Consummated Offering”) during the period beginning on December 14, 2021 through and including the date
the Company consummates an initial public offering (“IPO”) (such period referred to as the “Subsequent Offering Period”).
If
the Company has a Consummated Offering, which is not an IPO, each Purchaser can elect to use the price per share of that Consummated
Offering to determine the quantity of Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants it would be issued from the Company. However, each Purchaser
also has an option to elect not to use that price per share, but instead utilize the price per share from a future IPO to determine the
quantity of Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants it would be issued from the Company. In the event the Company has an offering that
is not an IPO after December 14, 2021, and any Purchaser does not elect to utilize that per share price to determine the quantity of
Contingent Stock or Contingent Warrants it would receive (with the plan to utilize a future IPO’s per share price), and there ultimately
is no IPO in the future, the Company would not issue any Contingent Stock or Contingent Warrants to that Purchaser. In the event that
the Company never has any Consummated Offering after December 14, 2021 (whether it be an IPO or other type of offering), the Contingent
Stock and Contingent Warrants would never be issued to the Purchasers.

6. Note Purchase Agreement (continued)
In
accordance with ASC 480-10-25-14, a fixed monetary amount exists at inception for the total value of Contingent Stock that may be issued
to each Purchaser. The Contingent Stock is not considered outstanding at inception, as it will only be issued upon the consummation of
a Consummated Offering, and accordingly, is a conditional obligation. As such the fair market value (“FMV”) of the Contingent
Stock at inception was $ 677,000 , which was recorded as debt discount. Similarly, a fixed monetary amount further exists in inception
for the total value of Contingent Warrants that may be issued to each Purchaser. Accordingly, a conditional obligation exists and as
such the FMV of Contingent Warrants at inception was $ 585,000 , which has been recorded as debt discount. The Company incurred $ 197,500
of debt issuance costs associated with the NPA. The debt issuance costs were allocated between the Notes, Contingent Stock and Contingent
Warrants in a manner that was consistent with the allocation of the proceeds of the Notes. The portion of the debt issuance costs which
were allocated to the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants, which was $ 124,460 , was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2021.
The debt issuance costs allocated to the Note was recorded as a debt discount.
The
Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrant liabilities were measured at FMV on the date of issuance (based on the December 31, 2021 Black-Scholes
valuation model). In estimating the fair value of the Contingent Stock and Warrants on March 31, 2022, the Company estimated the probability
of a Consummated Offering of 95%, a probability of the Note held to maturity of 4% and a dissolution factor of 1% . The Contingent Stock
was measured using a 12% discount for lack of marketability using the Finnerty model and the Contingent Warrants were measured using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:

At
inception, the Notes were recorded at the net amount of approximately $ 665,000 , after adjusting for debt discounts of approximately $ 1,335,000
relating to the debt issuance costs, Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants. Management calculates the effective interest rate (“EIR”)
to consider the potential repayment at redemption date by reference to the face value amount after taking into account the stated 8 %
interest rate. For three months ended months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded interest expense of $ 39,111 and accreted interest
of $ 206,417 .
The
value of the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants is required to be re-measured at FMV at each reporting date (based on the Black-Scholes
valuation model) with recognition of the changes in fair value to other income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations
in accordance with ASC 480, Debt and Equity. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $ 287,000 fair market fair
(FMV) charge to reflect the increase in the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrant liabilities.
Subsequent
to March 31, 2022, the Company completed its IPO (See Note 14(a)) and repaid the $ 2,000,000 Notes with net proceeds and settled the Contingent
Stock and Warrant liability.

Overview
Since
our inception in 2017, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the research and development of our safety syringe products.
To date, we have generated no revenue. We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of March 31, 2022, we had
an accumulated deficit of $12,537,425 Our net loss was $1,869,721 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Substantially all of our
net loss resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development efforts, payroll and consulting fees, stock compensation
and general and administrative costs associated with our operations. See below Initial Public Offering, Liquidty and Capital Resources
and Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements.
We
classify our operating expenses as research and development, and general and administrative expenses. We maintain a corporate office
located in Melville, New York, but employees and consultants work remotely and will continue to do so indefinitely. In June 2020, in
connection with the agreement to acquire Safegard, a former syringe manufacturing facility in Hungary, by June 30, 2022, we were contractually
provided the exclusive use of the facility for research and development and testing in exchange for payment of the seller’s operating
costs, including among others, use of Safegard’s work force, utility costs and other services.
In
order to compete in the market, we must build inventory. Commercial quantities of inventory are required to secure orders. Delivery is
expected shortly after receiving orders.
Research
and Development
Research
and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities for our various syringe products.
We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:
●
Manufacturing
and testing costs and related supplies and materials;
●
Consulting
fees paid for our Chief Technology Officer;
●
Operating
costs paid to Safegard, including among others, for use of Safegard’s work force, utilities and other services, relating to
the facility being utilized; and
●
Third-party
costs, including engineering incurred for development and design.
17
Substantially
all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our syringe products. We expect our research
and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to enhance our product to meet the market requirements
for our Sharps Provensa product line for its various intended uses throughout the world.
Initial
Public Offering
On
April 13, 2022, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-263715), as amended, related to our initial public offering (“IPO”)
was declared effective by the SEC, and our common stock and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market or Nasdaq on April 14,
2022. Our IPO closed on April 19, 2022. As a result, our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 do not reflect
the impact of our IPO. Net proceeds from the IPO were approximately $14.2 million. In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Company
used net proceeds to repay the Note Payable of $2 million.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates and Recent Accounting Standards
This
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements,
which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial
statements requires us 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 our financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the
reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on
various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Results
of Operations
Revenue
The
Company has not generated any revenue to date.
Research
and Development
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses increased to $506,375 compared to $467,564
for the three months ended March 31 2021. The increase of $38,811 was primarily due to increased R&D costs of approximately $125,000
from $150,000 in 2021 to $275,000 in 2022 paid to Safegard for operating costs to use their facility. The use of the facility, which
commenced in June 2020, has been used for further development, production of current prototype samples and related testing. The operating
costs primarily related to use of Safegard’s workforce, utility costs incurred and other services. In addition, we had increases
in depreciation related to R&D equipment of $71,000 acquired and that commenced use later in 2021. We had decreases in: i) stock
compensation expense relating to our Chief Technology Officer of $41,000 from $52,000 in 2021 to $10,000 in 2022 and ii) decreases in
materials costs for testing of $116,000 from $167,000 in 2021 to $51,000 in 2022.
General
and Administrative
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $830,900 as compared to $447,576
for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $383,333 was primarily attributable to increases in: i) payroll and consulting
fees of $85,000 from $180,000 in 2021 to $265,000 in 2022, primarily due to increased amounts of payroll and fees paid and additional
employees on staff, ii) increases in stock compensation expense, due to new option awards and increases in vesting of previously issued
options, of approximately $76,000 from $138,000 in 2021 to $214,000 in 2022, relating to employees and consultants. We had an average
of two employees in 2021 and through September 2021 which increased to four in the last quarter of 2021. We engaged an average of 5 consultants
in 2022 and 2021, for varying amounts of services. In addition, we had increases in G&A in the three months ended March 31, 2022
of approximately $222,000, principally from increased marketing and promotion ($36,000), patent fees and registrations ($32,000), professional
fees ($76,000), travel ($47,000), board fees ($15,000), insurance ($11,000) and other expenses ($5,000).

Interest
(expense) income
Interest
(expense), net of interest income of $91, was $245,437 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to interest income of $452
for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Interest expense increased as of March 31, 2022, by $245,889 due to the financing entered
into in December 2021 which resulted in interest payable at the 8% face amount of $39,111 plus accreted interest of $206,417 on the $2,000,000
Note Payable.
FMV
Adjustment for Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants
The
value of the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants requires the Fair Market Value (“FMV”) to be remeasured at each reporting
date while outstanding with recognition of the changes in fair value to other income or expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive
income (loss). For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $287,000 fair market fair (FMV) charge to reflect the
increase in the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrant liability. See Note 6 to the Unaudited Financial Statements.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had a cash balance of $255,615, and $1,479,166, respectively. The Company had working capital
deficiency of $2,923,222 as of March 31, 2022 vs working capital deficiency of $1,156,998, as of December 31, 2021. The increase in our
working capital deficiency was primarily related to use of cash in operations and investing in fixed asset purchased or deposits and
the impact of the increased FMV and Note of 493,417
On
April 13, 2022, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) which was declared effective by the Security and
Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Company’s common stock and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market or Nasdaq on
April 14, 2022 and which closed on April 19, 2022. As a result, the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022
do not reflect the impact of the IPO. The net proceeds from the IPO were approximately $14.2 million. In connection with the closing
of the IPO, the Company used net proceeds to repay the Note Payable of $2 million. . See Note 14(a) to the unaudited financial
statements.
Cash
Flows
Net
Cash Used in Operating Activities
The
Company used cash of $1,216,051 and $716,071 in operating activities for the period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The
increase in cash used was principally due to the Company incurring additional R&D activities during March 31, 2022, attributed to
completing product design and product and production validation, and additional business related General and Administrative costs.
Net
Cash Used in Investing Activities
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, the Company used cash in investing activities of $40,000 and $925,000,
respectively. In both periods, the cash was used to acquire or pay deposits for machinery and equipment of $40,000 and $850,000, respectively. Further, in the three
months ended March 31, 2021 the Company used $75,000 for an escrow payment relating to the Safegard acquisition.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).
Emerging
Growth Company Status
We
are an “emerging-growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company,
we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging
growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our
internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive
compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote
on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As an emerging growth company
we can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend
to avail ourselves of these options. Once adopted, we must continue to report on that basis until we no longer qualify as an emerging
growth company.
We
will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the
initial public offering; (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenue are $1.07 billion or more; (iii) the date on which
we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or (iv) the end of
any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second
quarter of that fiscal year. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these
exemptions. If, as a result of our decision to reduce future disclosure, investors find our common shares less attractive, there may
be a less active trading market for our common shares and the price of our common shares may be more volatile.
We
are also a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the aggregate
amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of the IPO is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during
the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock
held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed
fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company
at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that
are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most
recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller
reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation

PART
II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We
are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in
the ordinary course of our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us due to defense and settlement
costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, reputational harm and other factors.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
Factors
that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the Prospectus
for our IPO filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our
results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial
may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to
the risk factors disclosed in the Prospectus for our IPO filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022. We may disclose changes to such factors
or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
ITEM
2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Recent
Sale of Unregistered Equity Securities
No
unregistered equity securities were issued during the period ended March 31, 2022. In connection with the completion of the IPO we repaid
the $2,000,000 Notes Payable and settled the Contingent Stock and Warrant liability by issuing 235,294 shares of common stock and 235,294 warrants.
Use
of Proceeds
On
April 13, 2022, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-263715) was declared effective by the SEC pursuant to which we issued
and sold an aggregate of 3,750,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and two warrants, to purchase one share of common
stock for each whole warrant, with an initial exercise price of $4.25 per share and a term of five years. In addition, we granted Aegis
Capital Corp., as underwriter a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase up to 15% of the number of shares included in the units sold
in the offering, and/or additional warrants equal to 15% of the number of Warrants included in the units sold in the offering, in each
case solely to cover over-allotments, which the Aegis Capital Corp. partially exercised with respect to 1,125,000 warrants on April 19,
2022. No payments for such expenses were made directly or indirectly to (i) any of our officers or directors or their associates, (ii)
any persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or (iii) any of our affiliates. There has been no material change
in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering from that described in the Prospectus.
