This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

 

Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “BioCorRx,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this document refer to BioCorRx Inc., a Nevada corporation, and, where appropriate, its wholly owned subsidiaries.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS

 

BioCorRx Inc., through its subsidiaries, develops and provides innovative treatment programs for substance abuse and related disorders. The BioCorRx ® Recovery Program is a non-addictive, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program for substance abuse that includes peer recovery support. The UnCraveRx™ Weight Loss Management Program is a medically assisted weight management program that is combined with a virtual platform application. The full program officially launched October 1, 2019. The Company’s majority owned subsidiary BioCorRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. is also engaged in the research and development of sustained release naltrexone products for the treatment of addiction and other possible disorders. Specifically, the Company is developing an injectable (BICX101) and implantable naltrexone with the goal of future regulatory approval with the Food and Drug Administration. On May 7, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared the Company’s Investigational New Drug Application (IND) for its implantable naltrexone (BICX104) candidate. On October 31, 2020, the Company entered into a written management services agreement with Joseph DeSanto MD, Inc. (“Medical Corporation”) under which the Company provides management and other administrative services to the Medical Corporation. These services include billing, collection of accounts receivable, accounting, management and human resource functions. Pursuant to the management services agreement, a management fee equal to 65% of the Medical Corporation’s gross collected monthly revenue. Through this arrangement, the Company is directing the activities that most significantly impact the financial results of the respective Medical Corporation; however, all clinical treatment decisions are made solely by licensed healthcare professionals. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary, and, therefore, has consolidated the Medical Corporation as variable interest entity (“VIE”). The medical corporation: (i) had not yet generated any revenues and (ii) had no significant assets or liabilities since inception through September 30, 2023.

 

On July 28, 2016, BioCorRx Inc. formed BioCorRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, for the purpose of developing certain business lines. In connection with the formation, the sub issued 24.2% ownership to officers of BioCorRx Inc. with the Company retaining 75.8%. In 2018, BioCorRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. began operating activities (Note 17).

 

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2023.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of: (i) BioCorRx Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fresh Start Private, Inc., (ii) its majority owned subsidiary, BioCorRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and (iii) and the Medical Corporation (“VIE”) (collectively, “the Company”) under which the Company provides management and other administrative services pursuant to the management services agreement in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 606. A five-step analysis a must be met as outlined in Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. 

 

The Company has elected the following practical expedients in applying ASC 606:

 

 

·

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations - all performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of less than one year. The Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC 606 and therefore, is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period.

 

 

 

 

·

Contract Costs - all incremental customer contract acquisition costs are expensed as they are incurred as the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less in duration.

 

 

 

 

·

Significant Financing Component - the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

 

 

 

 

·

Sales Tax Exclusion from the Transaction Price - the Company excludes from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from the customer.

 

 

 

 

·

Shipping and Handling Activities - the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation.

 

The Company’s net sales are disaggregated by product category. The sales/access fees consist of product sales, which is recognized upon the transfer of promised goods to customers. The project support income is generated from administrative support to Biotechnology research customers, which is recognized upon the transfer of promised services to customers. The distribution rights income consists of the income recognized from the amortization of distribution agreements entered into for its products. The membership/program fees are generated from the Company’s UnCraveRx™ Weight Loss Management Program, which is recognized upon the transfer of promised goods to customers.

 

The following table presents the Company’s net sales by product category for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

Deferred revenue

 

The Company licenses proprietary products and protocols to customers under licensing agreements that allow those customers to access the products and protocols in services they provide to their customers during the term of the license agreement. The timing and amount of revenue recognized from license agreements depends upon a variety of factors, including the specific terms of each agreement. Such agreements are reviewed for multiple performance obligations. Performance obligations can include amounts related to initial non-refundable license fees for the use of the Company’s products and protocols and additional royalties on covered services.

 

The Company granted license and sub-license agreements for various regions or States in the United States allowing the licensee to market, distributes and sell solely in the defined license territory, as defined, the products provided by the Company. The agreements are granted for a defined period or perpetual and are effective as long as annual milestones are achieved.

 

Terms for payments for licensee agreements vary from full cash payment to defined terms. In cases where license or sub-license fees are uncollected and deferred; the Company nets those uncollected fees with the deferred revenue for balance sheet presentation.

 

The Company amortizes license fees over the shorter of the economic life of the related contract life or contract terms for each licensee.

 

On October 1, 2019, the Company launched the UnCraveRx™ Weight Loss Management Program. Customers are charged a membership fee and are requested to pay for three training programs at inception. The payments are recorded as deferred revenue until earned.

 

The following table presents the changes in deferred revenue, reflected as current and long term liabilities on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet:

Deferred Revenue-Grant

 

The Company recognizes grant revenues in the period during which the related research and development costs are incurred. The timing and amount of revenue recognized from reimbursement for research and development costs depends upon the specific terms for the contracted work. Such costs are reviewed for multiple performance obligations which can include amounts related to contracted work performed or as milestones have been achieved.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions used in the fair value of other equity and debt instruments.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at original invoice amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing balances. Management estimates the allowance based on collectability of accounts receivable and prior bad debt experience. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance upon management’s determination that such accounts are uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. Management believes that credit risks on accounts receivable will not be material to the financial position of the Company or results of operations. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable, grant receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and notes payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of lease liability and royalty obligation also approximates fair value since these instruments bear market rates of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

 

See Note 13 and 14 for stock based compensation and other equity instruments.

 

Segment Information

 

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic Segment Reporting 280-10 (“ASC 280-10”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company follows a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of the assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. No impairments were recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. $0 impairment was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

Software Development Costs

 

The Company has adopted the provision of ASC 985-20-25, Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased or Marketed, whereby costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of a computer software product to be sold, leased or marketed are research and development costs. Research costs are expensed as incurred; costs of producing product masters incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility are capitalized; and costs incurred when the product is available for general release to the customers are expensed as incurred. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality which enables the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing.

 

On July 1, 2021, the Company began development of a proprietary cloud based app that will be marketed and commercialized, for which $47,980 of costs have been capitalized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company wrote off the $47,980 as impairment loss.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life of 5 to 15 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected in earnings.

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included on the face of the consolidated balance sheets.

 

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date over the respective lease term in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and it recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Net (loss) Per Share

 

The Company accounts for net loss per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”), which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS.

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. It excludes the dilutive effects of any potentially issuable common shares. The effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses and therefore basic and dilutive is the same.

Table of Contents

 

 

Diluted net loss per share is calculated by including any potentially dilutive share issuances in the denominator. The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average diluted shares at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company charged to operations $88,633 and $295,119 as advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Grant Income

 

On January 17, 2019, the Company received a Notice of Award from the United States Department of Health and Human Services for a grant from the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) in support of BICX102 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The grant provides for (i) $2,842,430 in funding during the first year and (ii) $2,831,838 during the second year subject to the terms and conditions specified in the grant, including satisfactory progress of project and the availability of funds. On August 27, 2021, the Company received a Notice of Award from the United States Department of Health and Human Services for a grant from National Institute on Drug Abuse. The grant provides for $3,453,367 in funding during the third year subject to the terms and conditions specified in the grant, including satisfactory progress of project and the availability of funds. On March 31, 2022, the Company received a Notice of Award from the United States Department of Health and Human Services for a grant from National Institute on Drug Abuse. The grant provides for $99,431 in additional funding during the third year subject to the terms and conditions specified in the grant, including satisfactory progress of project and the availability of funds. Grant payments received prior to the Company’s performance of work required by the terms of the research grant are recorded as deferred income and recognized as grant income once work is performed and qualifying costs are incurred. Grant receivables were $4,991 and $122,652 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Deferred revenues related to the grant were $0 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. $300,985 and $390,857 were recorded as grant income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. $790,140 and $1,250,231 were recorded as grant income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The F&A indirect costs were $0 and $253,208 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The grant provides for $516,218 in funding for F&A indirect costs. The remaining facilities and administrative indirect cost over allocation is $9,671 as of September 30, 2023. The Company will credit the F&A indirect cost rate.

 

Research and development costs

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $286,962 and $342,553 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $762,768 and $923,354 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation

 

Share-based compensation issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The Company measures the fair value of the share-based compensation issued to non-employees at the grant date using the stock price observed in the trading market (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were considered to be more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss and credit carry forwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.

 

Variable Interest Entity

 

The Company evaluates all interests in the VIE for consolidation. When the Company’s interests are determined to be variable interests, an assessment is made on whether the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, defines the primary beneficiary as the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the VIE which could be potentially significant. Variable interests are considered in making this determination. Where both of these factors are present, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and the Company consolidates the VIE.

 

Non-Controlling Interest

 

A non-controlling interest should be allocated its share of net income or loss, and its respective share of each component of other comprehensive income, in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-20. Due to a management fee equal to 65% of the Medical Corporation’s gross collected monthly revenue, 65% of the Medical Corporation’s earnings was allocated to the Company, and 35% to the non-controlling interest. Due to the Company’s retaining 75.8% ownership of BioCorRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 75.8% of BioCorRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s earnings was allocated to the Company, and 24.2% to the non-controlling interest. See accounting policy “Variable Interest Entity” for further information.

 

Royalty Obligations, net

 

The Company accounted for royalty obligations as debt in accordance with ASC 470-10-25 and derived a debt discount, which is amortized using the straight line method over the expected life of the arrangement, which is 15 years. The Company has no obligation to repay the then outstanding balance if during the expected life of 15 years the treatment is discontinued. In order to record the discount of the liability, the Company fair valued the royalty and the difference between fair value of the royalty obligation and the gross projected future payments was $7,171,200 and was recorded as non-cash interest expense over the life of the liability and offset to additional paid in capital at inception.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain financial instruments, including trade receivables and available-for-sale debt securities. The new guidance was originally due to become effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020, however the FASB in November 2019 issued ASU 2019-10 which moved the effective date for smaller reporting companies to the first quarter of 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $156,409 and working capital deficit of $5,700,878. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $1,319,446. The Company has not yet generated any significant revenues and has incurred net losses since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve-month period since the date of the financial statements were issued.

 

The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been from proceeds from private placements of convertible and other debt and the sale of common stock. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced. The spread of COVID-19 around the world in the first quarter of 2020 has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. and international economies and, as such, the Company is unable to determine if it will have a material impact to its operations.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into three subscription agreements pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 517,001 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $900,000.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued one note payable to a third party for a principal of $50,000 with a stated interest rate of 12.5% per annum. Under the terms of the note the Company shall pay quarterly interest payments of $1,563. If the Company fails to make any payment due under the terms of the promissory note, the stated interest rate of the note shall be increased to 20%. As additional consideration for the loan the Company issued 4,285 shares of common stock valued at $6,000, which was recognized as debt discount.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received $50,000 advances from Louis C Lucido, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The balance outstanding as of September 30, 2023 was $50,000 which amount is payable on demand. There is no interest rate attached to these advances.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received $143,273 advances from Lourdes Felix, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“CEO” and “CFO”, respectively). The balance outstanding as of September 30, 2023 was $108,273.

 

On April 3, 2023, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Louis 2023 Exchange Agreement”) with Mr. Lucido, pursuant to which Mr. Lucido agreed to exchange of the promissory note then outstanding of $300,000 and the accrued interest on the promissory note of $13,892 into the Company’s 183,606 shares of common stock at $1.71 per share, resulting in the recognition of $34,338 of loss on settlement of debt.

 

On June 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Consultant Exchange Agreement”) with one consultant, pursuant to which the consultant agreed to exchange of the unpaid service fees of $48,000 into the Company’s 24,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share.

 

On August 29, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note payable to Louis C Lucido for $150,000 with principal and interest due August 29, 2024, with a stated interest rate of 8% per annum. The promissory note, together with all accrued interest, shall be converted into common shares at a conversion price of $2.00 per share on or before August 29, 2024. In connection with the issuance of the promissory note, the Company issued the warrant that entitles Mr. Lucido to purchase 150,000 common shares. The warrant shall have a term of three years with an exercise price of $2.00 and shall be equitably adjusted to offset the effect of any stock splits and similar events. The Company allocated the proceeds based on the relative fair value of the debt and the warrants, resulting in the recognition of $87,724 of debt discount on such promissory note. As additional consideration for the debt, the Company issued 18,000 shares of common stock valued at $29,340, which was also recognized as debt discount.

 

On September 6, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note payable to one third party for $150,000 with principal and interest due September 6, 2024, with a stated interest rate of 8% per annum. The third party has the option to select the repayment in cash or in stock of the Company at $2.00 per share. If the Company fails to make any payment due under the terms of the promissory note, the interest rate shall increase to 15% per annum. In connection with the issuance of the promissory note, the Company issued the warrant that entitles the third party to purchase 150,000 common shares. The warrant shall have a term of three years with an exercise price of $2.00 and shall be equitably adjusted to offset the effect of any stock splits and similar events. The Company allocated the proceeds based on the relative fair value of the debt and the warrants, resulting in the recognition of $88,820 of debt discount on such promissory note. As additional consideration for the debt, the Company issued 18,000 shares of common stock valued at $30,240, which was also recognized as debt discount.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 7 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY/ LICENSING RIGHTS

 

On October 12, 2018 the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, BioCorRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. acquired six patent families for sustained delivery platforms for the local delivery of biologic and small molecule drugs for an aggregate purchase price of $15,200. Amortization is computed on straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of 13 years. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expense of $295 and $294, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expense of $884 and $884, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the accumulated amortization of these patents was $5,878

Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived from using the Company’s historical stock prices. The Company accounts for the expected life of options based on the contractual life of options for non-employees. For employees, the Company accounts for the expected life of options in accordance with the “simplified” method, which is used for “plain-vanilla” options, as defined in the accounting standards codification. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining life consistent with the expected term of the options.

 

In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company used the following assumptions in 2023:

The BioCorRx® Recovery Program is a comprehensive addiction program which includes peer support and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) modules (typically completed in 16 sessions on average but not limited to), coupled with a naltrexone implant. CBT is an evidence based method that can be used to change thoughts, feelings, behaviors and improve overall life satisfaction. The implant is specifically compounded with a prescription from a medical doctor for each individual and is designed to release naltrexone into the body over multiple months. The naltrexone implant means a single administration, long acting naltrexone pellet(s) that consists of a naltrexone formulation in a biodegradable form that is suitable for subcutaneous implantation in a particular patient.

Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of $(5,700,878), and an accumulated deficit of $77,134,478. The Company has not yet generated any significant revenues, and has incurred net losses since inception. The Company also defaulted on several promissory notes agreements and cured the defaults by issuing warrants. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve-month period since the date of the financial statements were issued.

 

The Company believes that its current cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund its projected operating requirements for the next twelve months since the date of the issuance of the financial statements.

 

The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of its common stock in order to implement the Company’s business plan or by using outside financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these situations in order to continue as a going concern. The Company is funding its operations by additional borrowings and some shareholder advances.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to an investment in its securities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on management’s historical and industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, we evaluate these accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results may differ from our estimates, and such differences could be material.

  

A full discussion of our significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial results. These estimates require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments because they relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. We have reviewed these critical accounting policies and estimates and related disclosures with our Audit Committee

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 606. A five-step analysis a must be met as outlined in Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. 

 

 
42

Table of Contents

 

The Company has elected the following practical expedients in applying ASC 606:

 

 

·

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations - all performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of less than one year. The Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC 606 and therefore, is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period.

 

 

 

 

·

Contract Costs - all incremental customer contract acquisition costs are expensed as they are incurred as the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less in duration.

 

 

 

 

·

Significant Financing Component - the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

 

 

 

 

·

Sales Tax Exclusion from the Transaction Price - the Company excludes from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from the customer.

 

 

 

 

·

Shipping and Handling Activities - the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation.

 

The Company’s net sales are disaggregated by product category. The sales/access fees consist of product sales, which is recognized upon the transfer of promised goods to customers. The project support income is generated from administrative support to Biotechnology research customers, which is recognized upon the transfer of promised services to customers. The distribution rights income consists of the income recognized from the amortization of distribution agreements entered into for its products. The membership/program fees are generated from the Company’s UnCraveRx™ Weight Loss Management Program, which is recognized upon the transfer of promised goods to customers.

Such agreements are reviewed for multiple performance obligations. Performance obligations can include amounts related to initial non-refundable license fees for the use of the Company’s products and protocols and additional royalties on covered services.

Stock Based Compensation

 

Share-based compensation issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The Company measures the fair value of the share-based compensation issued to non-employees at the grant date using the stock price observed in the trading market (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were considered to be more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered.

 

Royalty Obligations, net

 

The Company accounted for royalty obligations as debt in accordance with ASC 470-10-25 and derived a debt discount, which is amortized using the straight line method over the expected life of the arrangement, which is 15 years. The Company has no obligation to repay the then outstanding balance if during the expected life of 15 years the treatment is discontinued. In order to record the discount of the liability, the Company fair valued the royalty and the difference between fair value of the royalty obligation and the gross projected future payments was $7,171,200 and was recorded as non-cash interest expense over the life of the liability and offset to additional paid in capital at inception.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the most recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified to date include (i) policies and procedures which are not yet adequately documented, (ii) insufficient GAAP experience regarding complex transactions and reporting, and (iii) insufficient number of staff to maintain optimal segregation of duties and levels of oversight. As of September 30, 2023, based on evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this quarterly report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company initiated litigation in 2019 based on a claim that Pellecome and Dr. Orbeck utilized the Company’s confidential information to advance their own weight loss product.

 

The Company dismissed this litigation without prejudice in July 2021.

 

On March 30, 2022, the court entered judgment in favor of Pellecome as an individual defendant whereby the Company was ordered to pay Pellecome total costs and attorneys’ fees of $235,886. Pursuant to the judgment, this amount is accruing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from October 6, 2021 (the date of the original award of attorneys’ fees by the court which was followed by a number of filings by each party through February 2022).

 

The Company has not yet paid any amount to Pellecome. On May 27, 2022, the Company filed a notice of appeal with California Superior Court for Orange County regarding the March 30, 2022 judgment entered in favor of Pellecome. On February 2, 2023, the Company filed a motion requesting the California Superior Court for Orange County reverse and remand its prior ruling, including reversing the granting of Pellecome $222,933 in attorney’s fees. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter, the Company has accrued $322,000 as a loss contingency for this matter. On October 4, 2023 the Court of Appeal of the State of California upheld the March 30, 2022  judgement in favor of Pellecome whereby $222,933 was awarded in attorney’s fees.
