Basis of Presentation |
(a) Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company are prepared in U.S. Dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed. As such, the information included in these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 included in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K, as filed on March 25, 2020. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of only a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates and Judgments |
(b) Use of Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is included in the following notes for revenue recognition, recording research and development expenses, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory and prepaid asset write-downs, impairment of equipment and intangible assets and valuation of share-based payments. |

Functional and Presentation Currency |
(c) Functional and Presentation Currency
These condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information has been rounded to the nearest dollar. Foreign Currency Transaction Gains or Losses, resulting from cash balances denominated in Foreign Currencies, are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
(d) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits (up to three months from date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal date or use, to be cash equivalents. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Restricted Cash |
(f) Restricted Cash
At June 30, 2020, restricted cash included in non-current assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was $115,094 representing cash in trust for the purpose of funding legal fees for certain litigations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
(g) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables and trade and other payables. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and trade and other payables approximate their fair value because of their short maturities.
The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Marketable Securities: Valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Marketable securities are classified as available for sale. The debt securities are valued at fair market value. Maturities of the securities are less than one year. Unrealized gains and losses relating to the available for sale investment securities were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity as other comprehensive (loss) income. These amounts were an unrealized gain of $201,898 and $18,059 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and an unrealized loss of $39,039 and an unrealized gain of $47,402 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Losses resulting from the sales of marketable securities were $0 and $543 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and were a loss of $36,714 and $4,258 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively
Proceeds from the sales of marketable securities in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $3,572 and $2,307,462, respectively and were $502,126 and $1,354,646 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.
The carrying amounts of current trade receivables are stated at cost, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and approximates their fair value given their short-term nature.
The normal credit terms extended to customers range between 30 and 90 days. Credit terms longer than these may be extended after considering the credit worthiness of the customers and the business requirements. The Company reviews all receivables that exceed terms and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of allowance. The Company considers the historical level of credit losses, makes judgments about the credit worthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, allowances for doubtful accounts for trade receivables were $1,273 and $458,902, respectively. Bad debt expenses for trade receivables were $1,273 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and $1,273 and $4,247 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company charged off accounts receivable of $458,902 against the allowance for doubtful accounts. |

Bad debt expenses for trade receivables were $1,273 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and $1,273 and $4,247 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company charged off accounts receivable of $458,902 against the allowance for doubtful accounts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Prepaid Expenses |
(i) Prepaid Expenses
For expenses paid prior to the date that the related services are rendered or used are recorded as prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses are comprised principally of prepaid insurance and prepaid royalties.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company determined that, on account of the unfavorable factors existing within its rapid, point-of-care screening and testing products business, prepaid royalties in the amount of $291,442 would be fully impaired. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, this charge was reflected within Impairment of Prepaid Royalties in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Concentrations |
(j) Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash on deposit with financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash in banks is in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any loss as a result of these cash deposits. These cash balances are maintained with two banks.
Major Customers
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenues net of discounts and allowances, was a negative amount of $1,888. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, three customers generated 42%, 20% and 19%, or 81% in the aggregate, of the Company’s revenue.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, two customers generated 58% and 35%, or 93% in the aggregate, of the Company’s revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, two customers generated 44% and 34%, or 78% in the aggregate, of the Company’s revenue.
One customer accounted for 100%, and five customers accounted for 30%, 18%, 12%, 12% and 11%, or 83% in the aggregate, of trade receivables net of customer credits and allowances for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Major Suppliers
Three suppliers accounted for 37%, 28% and 11%, or 76% in the aggregate and two suppliers accounted for 70% and 11% or 81% in aggregate, of the Company’s purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Two suppliers accounted for 49% and 17%, or 66% in the aggregate and one supplier accounted for 63% of the Company’s purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
None of the Company’s suppliers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding accounts payable as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment |
(k) Property, Plant and Equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and are recognized within “other income” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Depreciation is recognized in profit and loss on an accelerated basis over the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or their useful lives.
Depreciation expense totaled $3,214 and $10,111 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively and $9,542 and $14,975 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Impairment expense totaled $18,680 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, in connection with the determination as of June 30, 2020 that equipment utilized in the production of the Company’s rapid, point-of-care screening and testing products was fully impaired. |

Right-of-Use Assets |
(l) Right-of-Use Assets
The Company leases its facility in West Deptford, New Jersey (the “Thorofare Facility”) under an operating lease (“Thorofare Lease”) with annual rentals of $132,000 plus common area maintenance (CAM) charges. The Thorofare Facility houses the Company’s office, manufacturing, laboratory and warehouse space. The Thorofare Lease took effect on January 1, 2008. On January 7, 2013, the Company extended the Thorofare Lease extending the term to December 31, 2019. On November 11, 2019, the Company entered into another extension of the Thorofare Lease, extending the term to December 31, 2021, effective January 1, 2020, and providing for an early termination option with a 150-day notice period. On July 16, 2020, the Company exercised the early termination option under the lease agreement, with the effect of the post exercise lease maturity date changing to December 13, 2020.
On January 1, 2020 (“Effective Date”), the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which increases transparency and comparability by recognizing a lessee’s rights and obligations resulting from leases by recording them on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities. The new guidance requires the recognition of the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and related operating and finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2020. As a result, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was not restated and is not comparative.
The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $306,706 and lease liabilities for an operating lease of $306,706 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2020.
The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted within the standard, which allows an entity to forgo reassessing (i) whether a contract contains a lease, (ii) classification of leases, and (iii) whether capitalized costs associated with a lease meet the definition of initial direct costs. Also, the Company elected the expedient allowing an entity to use hindsight to determine the lease term and impairment of ROU assets and the expedient to allow the Company to not have to separate lease and non-lease components. The Company has also elected the short-term lease accounting policy under which the Company would not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for any lease that at the commencement date has a lease term of twelve months or less and does not include a purchase option that the Company is more than reasonably certain to exercise.
For contracts entered into on or after the Effective Date, at the inception of a contract, the Company will assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (i) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (ii) whether the Company obtained the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (iii) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. Leases entered into prior to January 1, 2020, which were accounted for under ASC 840, were not reassessed for classification.
For operating leases, the lease liability is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases, unless an interest rate is implicitly stated in the lease. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, which was determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend the lease controlled by the lessor. All ROU assets are reviewed for impairment.
Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Effective June 30, 2020, the Company recorded an adjustment to its right-of-use asset and liability in the amounts of $153,709 and $155,737, respectively, to adjust for the effect of the Company having elected to exercise the early termination option under the lease agreement, as discussed earlier. The following information reflects the effect of the adjustments discussed above in connection with the Company’s exercise of the early termination option.
The Company’s operating lease is comprised solely of the lease of its Thorofare Facility. Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information related to its lease is presented below:
The following provides details of the Company’s lease expense, including CAM charges:
Other information related to leases is presented below:
As of June 30, 2020, the annual minimum lease payments of the Company’s operating lease liabilities were as follows:

Intangible Assets |
(m) Intangible Assets
The Company’s long-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, are assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. These assets were initially recorded at their estimated fair value at the time of acquisition and assets not acquired in acquisitions were recorded at historical cost. However, if their estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount, other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reduced to their estimated fair value through an impairment charge to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
As of June 30, 2020, on account of the unfavorable factors existing within its rapid, point-of-care screening and testing products business, the Company determined that the intellectual property comprising the remaining intangible assets was fully impaired. Accordingly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $149,870 and $152,822, respectively. There were no impairment charges of intangible assets during the three and six months ending June 30, 2019.
Intangible assets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $0 and $170,423, respectively. Intangible assets at June 30, 2020 consisted of patents, trademarks and customer lists of $3,897,635, net of accumulated amortization and impairment of $3,897,635. Intangible assets at December 31, 2019 consisted of patent, trademarks and customer lists of $3,897,635, net of accumulated amortization and impairment of $3,727,212.
Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. Amortization expense was $8,727 and $10,002 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and $17,601 and $20,004 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. |

Revenue Recognition |
(n) Revenue Recognition
Beginning on January 1, 2019, the Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of this revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service to the customer. Revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the product transfers to the Company’s customer, which generally occurs upon delivery to the customer but can also occur when goods are shipped by the Company, depending on the shipment terms of the contract. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time.
The Company uses the most likely amount approach to determine the variable consideration of the transaction price in order to account for the contractual rebates and incentives that are estimated and adjusted for over time. The Company provides for rebates to its distributors. The Company had accrued for rebates and incentives of $200 and $20,002 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Accounts receivable will be reduced when the rebates are applied by the customer. The Company recognized credits of $536 and $1,199 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and rebates and incentives of $7,679 and $16,377 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company recognized sales discounts of $10,632 and $11,366 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and $7,406 and $20,957 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. These components are included as product revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Research and Development Costs |
(o) Research and Development Costs
In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist of fees paid to third parties that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf. These costs included costs incurred to acquire and develop the license for the COVID-19 vaccine project (See Note 3). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes |
(p) Income Taxes
The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported.
There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 since management has determined that the realization of the net deferred assets is not assured and has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such tax benefits.
The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax audits is to record such items as a component of general and administrative expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties and interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company does not expect its uncertain tax position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. |

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs |
(q) Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
The Company charges actual shipping costs plus a handling fee to customers, which amounted to $1,511 and $10,568 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and $9,511 and $21,997 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. These fees are classified as part of product revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Shipping and other related delivery costs, including those for incoming raw materials are classified as product cost of sales, which amounted to $5,261 and $17,918 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and $15,660 and $27,579 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. |

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share of Common Stock |
(r) Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share of Common Stock
Basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered anti-dilutive.
The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was based on the net loss of $3,628,131 and $794,891, respectively and $7,166,667 and $1,711,849 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 5,252,211 and 541,367, respectively and 3,739,529 and 541,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
As the Company reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, common share equivalents were anti-dilutive. Therefore, the amounts report for basic and diluted loss per share were the same.
The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
(t) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU-2016-02”), which requires an entity to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor, and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company has adopted ASU-2016-02, effective January 1, 2020, and, as a result of this implementation, has recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset and an operating lease liability as of June 30, 2020.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU-2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, and any other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. The ASU requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses rather than incurred losses for financial assets. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company expects that there would be no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this ASU. |
