Our gauze product, HemoStyp®, is derived from cotton and designed to absorb exudate/drainage from superficial wounds and help control bleeding. We are in the process of seeking regulatory approval to sell our hemostatic gauze product line into the U.S. Class III and European CE Mark human surgical markets.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been included.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring net losses, negative working capital and operations have not provided cash flows. Additionally, the Company does not currently have sufficient revenue producing operations to cover its operating expenses and meet its current obligations. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to finance its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, as well as in the healthcare industry, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates, could cause actual results to differ.
Fair Value Measurements
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. We value assets and liabilities included in this level using dealer and broker quotations, bid prices, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its HemoStyp product by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company receives orders for its HemoStyp products directly from its customers. Revenues are recognized based on the agreed upon sales or transaction price with the customer when control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer. The transfer of goods to the customer and satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligation will occur either at the time when products are shipped or when the products arrive and are received by the customer. No discounts are currently offered by the Company. The Company does not provide an estimate for returns as there is no anticipation for any returns in the normal course of business.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Concentration Risk
We record accounts receivable at the invoiced amount and we do not charge interest. We review the accounts receivable by amounts due from customers that are past due, to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the reserve, we make judgments about the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. We will also maintain a sales allowance to reserve for potential credits issued to customers. We will determine the amount of the reserve based on historical credit issued.
There were no provisions for doubtful accounts recorded at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company recorded $

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense for employees and non-employees is measured at the grant date fair value.
Per Share Information
Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of potential common shares is not reflected in diluted earnings per share because the Company incurred net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the effect of including these potential common shares in the net loss per share calculations would be anti-dilutive.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, where applicable to all long-lived assets. ASC 360 addresses accounting and reporting for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with ASC 360. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
When long-lived assets are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company determined no impairment was required.

Leases
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 842, and records right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease obligations for its operating leases, which are initially recognized based on the discounted future lease payments over the term of the lease. If the rate implicit in the Company's leases is not readily determinable, the Company's applicable incremental borrowing rate is used in calculating the present value of the sum of the lease payments.
The lease term is defined as the non-cancelable period of the lease plus any options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU asset and lease obligations for its short-term leases, which are defined as leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under ‘Risk Factors’ in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with SEC on April 1, 2024.
Company Overview
UHP develops, manufactures, and markets a patented hemostatic gauze for the healthcare and wound care sectors. Our gauze product, HemoStyp®, is derived from cotton and designed to absorb exudate/drainage from superficial wounds and help control bleeding. We are in the process of seeking regulatory approval to sell our hemostatic gauze product line into the U.S. Class III and European CE Mark human surgical markets.
Our HemoStyp Gauze Products
HemoStyp hemostatic gauze is a natural substance created from chemically treated cellulose derived from cotton. It is an effective hemostatic agent registered with the FDA for superficial use under a 510(k) approval obtained in 2012 to help control bleeding from open wounds and body cavities. The HemoStyp hemostatic material contains no chemical additives, thrombin, collagen or animal-derived products, and is hypoallergenic. When the product comes in contact with blood it expands slightly and quickly converts to a translucent gel that subsequently breaks down into glucose and salts. Because of its benign impact on body tissue and the fact that it degrades to non-toxic end products, HemoStyp does not impede the healing of body tissue as compared to certain competing hemostatic products. Laboratory testing has shown HemoStyp to be 100% absorbable in the human body within 24 hours, compared to days or weeks with competing organic regenerated cellulose products.
17 |
Table of Contents |
HemoStyp hemostatic gauze is a flexible, silk-like material that is applied by placing the gauze onto the bleeding tissue. The supple material can be easily folded and manipulated as needed to fit the size of the wound or incision. In surface bleeding and surgical situations, the product quickly converts to a translucent gel that allows the physician or surgeon to monitor the coagulation process. The gel maintains a neutral pH level, which avoids damaging the surrounding tissue. In superficial bleeding situations, HemoStyp can be bonded to an adhesive plastic bandage or integrated into a traditional gauze component to address a broad range of needs, including traumatic bleeding injuries and prolonged bleeding following hemodialysis.
Background and Developments
In 2012, the Company began marketing its HemoStyp hemostatic gauze for human topical and dental applications as well as for and veterinary surgical applications under an FDA 510k approval.
In 2018, the Company determined to pursue a Class III designation to market its hemostatic gauze under an FDA Premarket Approval as an adjunct product to achieve hemostasis in human surgical applications. In February 2018, the Company completed and submitted to the FDA all materials relevant for the pre-market approval (or PMA) for HemoStyp as a Class III application for internal surgical procedures. Since our initial PMA submission, we have conducted a human trial and have worked to address certain deficiencies in our PMA application that were identified by the FDA.
On March 21, 2024, we submitted results of the human clinical trial and other information, including our manufacturing, sterilization and shipping processes, to the FDA. On June 18, 2024, the FDA issued a customary "Deficiencies Letter" to the company listing certain questions and comments on various elements of the application. The letter contained approximately 40 specific comments and requests for additional information covering the device description, sterility & shelf life, clinical & performance testing, and biocompatibility sections of the PMA application. The FDA's 180-day PMA application review period will be paused while the Company develops its responses to the deficiencies that were identified, and will resume once all the responses have been submitted. There can be no assurance that our PMA application will be approved.
Potential Target Markets
Our HemoStyp material is currently cut to several sizes and configuration and marketed as HemoStyp Gauze. While we have paused our commercial activities to focus on our Class III PMA application, our potential customer base includes, without limitation, the following:
| · | Hospitals and Surgery Centers for all Internal Surgical usage (in the event we obtain FDA Class III approval) |
| · | Hospitals, Clinics and Physicians for external trauma |
| · | EMS, Fire Departments and other First Responders |
| · | Military Medical Care Providers |
| · | Hemodialysis centers |
| · | Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities |
| · | Dental and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Offices |
| · | Veterinary hospitals |
Primary Strategy
Our HemoStyp technology received an FDA 510(k) approval in 2012 for use in external or superficial bleeding situations and we believe there is an opportunity for HemoStyp products to address unmet needs in several medical applications that represent attractive commercial opportunities. However, the Class III surgical markets, both domestic and international, represent the most attractive market for our products due to the smaller number of competitors offering Class III approved hemostatic agents and the resulting premium pricing for products that can meet the demanding requirements of the human surgical environment. We believe that our extensive laboratory testing and our completed human trial indicate that the HemoStyp technology could successfully compete against established Class III market participants, and could gain a significant market share. As discussed above, we are in the process of seeking FDA pre-market approval for our HemoStyp product. There can be no assurance that an FDA PMA will be granted.
In anticipation of receiving a Class III PMA (which cannot be assured), we are evaluating paths to rapidly grow our revenue and profits in all potential market segments, with the objective of maximizing shareholder value. We do not intend to pursue the full commercialization of our products independently nor to remain an independent company in the long term. Options under consideration include (i) a sale or merger of the Company with an industry leader in the wound care and surgical device sectors, which may include a pre-sale collaboration on commercialization and distribution and (ii) one or more commercial partnerships with established market participants, without any specific, associated sale or merger transaction.
18 |
Table of Contents |
The Company has been contacted by several medical technology companies that are active in the surgical equipment and hemostatic products sectors, and who have expressed an interest in the Company’s products and business strategy. We continue to evaluate the potential commercial partnerships in anticipation of an FDA decision on our Class III PMA application. No assurances can be given that the Company will identify any commercialization candidate(s) or enter into a transaction.
Manufacturing and Packaging of our Products
The Company’s products will be manufactured to our specifications through a contract manufacturing arrangement with an FDA certified supplier that maintains stringent quality control protocols to assure the uniformity and quality of all of our gauze products. Information on the manufacturing process and our manufacturer’s facility has been submitted as part of our PMA submission. Our gauze products are cut to size, packaged and sterilized by service providers in the United States.
Patents and Trademarks
Our hemostatic gauze technology is protected through patents granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which protection currently runs through 2029.
The Company has registered trademarks and trademark applications for the following product formats:
| · | BooBoo Strips |
| · | HEMOSTYP |
| · | The Ultimate Bandage |
| · | HemoStrip |
| · | CELLUSTAT (pending) |

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a negative working capital of $2,064,538. The Company has not yet attained a level of operations, which will allow it to meet its current overhead expense obligations. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our 2023 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has been focusing its capital and resources towards seeking a Class III PMA for its HemoStyp technology, and has funded its initial operations with private placements, and unsecured loans from related parties. There can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to the Company and, if available, on terms that are favorable to the Company. Our ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on many events outside of our direct control, including, among other things, our ability to achieve our business goals and objectives, as well as improvement in the economic climate.
The Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (“CSPA”) with White Lion, which gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to require White Lion to purchase up to $10,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the CSPA. As of the date of this filing, the Company has received approximately $3.0 million in proceeds from White Lion to pay for its operations and finalization of its Class III PMA application. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would be dilutive to our shareholders. In addition, economic conditions and actions by policymaking bodies are contributing to rising interest rates and significant capital market volatility, which, along with increases in our borrowing levels, could increase our future borrowing costs.
Cash Flows
The Company’s cash on hand at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $18,574 and $95,420, respectively.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”) requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Critical accounting estimates are those estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. Based on this definition, we have the critical accounting estimates identified below. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results which are found in Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying financial statements. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense for employees and non-employees is measured at the grant date fair value. Stock-based compensation for all stock-based awards to employees and directors is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company is in the process of implementing disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of June 30, 2024, the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, management does not believe there have been any material changes to the risk factors listed in Part I, “Item 1A, Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. These risk factors should be carefully considered with the information provided elsewhere in this report, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We can provide no assurances that the FDA will approve our Class III application for internal surgical procedures in the U.S. market for our HemoStyp product..
We are reliant on receiving Premarket Approval (PMA) from the FDA for our HemoStyp product in order to implement our business strategy of targeting the surgical market. If we do not obtain a PMA for our HemoStyp product, we will have to materially change our strategy, which we cannot assure we would be successful in doing. We submitted our initial PMA application to the FDA in 2018, during 2022 and 2023, the Company worked to address certain deficiencies in its PMA application that were identified by the FDA in 2021. These deficiencies were largely related to the need for standardized procedures for our manufacturing process, and quality assurance procedures for finished, customer ready products.
On March 21, 2024, we submitted results of the human clinical trial and other information, including our manufacturing, sterilization and shipping processes, to the FDA. On June 18, 2024, the FDA issued a customary “Deficiencies Letter” to the company listing certain questions and comments on various elements of the application. The letter contained approximately 40 specific comments and requests for additional information covering the device description, sterility & shelf life, clinical & performance testing, and biocompatibility sections of the PMA application. The FDA’s 180-day PMA application review period will be paused while the Company develops its responses to the deficiencies that were identified, and will resume once all the responses have been submitted.
We cannot be assured that our HemoStyp product will meet the PMA requirements for FDA approval or that we will ever receive the requisite PMA for our HemoStyp product.
We are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and must comply with the regulations of the FDA, as well as state, local and applicable international regulations. Failure to do so could harm our business.
Our HemoStyp products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA. These regulations relate to manufacturing, labeling, sale, promotion, distribution and shipping. Before a new medical device, or a new intended use of a legally marketed device, can be marketed in the United States, it must be cleared or approved by the FDA through the applicable 510(k) premarket notification submission, granting of a de novo request, or Premarket Approval (PMA)), unless an exemption applies.The clearance and approval process is expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements of the FDA can result in an enforcement action, which could include a variety of sanctions, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recall or seizure of our products, operating restrictions, partial suspension, or total shutdown of production and criminal prosecution. The FDA may change its clearance and approval policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions, that may prevent or delay approval or clearance of our products or impact our ability to modify our products after clearance on a timely basis. Such policy or regulatory changes could impose additional requirements upon us that could delay our ability to obtain clearance for our products, increase the costs of compliance or restrict our ability to maintain products after clearance.
The FDA has substantial discretion in the PMA approval process. The FDA can limit or deny approval of a product for many reasons, including, but not limited, to:
· | a product may not be deemed to be safe and effective; |
|
|
· | the FDA may not find the data from clinical trials and preclinical studies sufficient; |
|
|
· | the opportunity for bias in the clinical trials as a result of the open-label design may not be adequately handled and may cause our trial to fail; |
|
|
· | the FDA may not approve suppliers’ processes or facilities; or |
|
|
· | the FDA may change its approval policies or adopt new regulations. |
In addition, regulatory clearance or approval by the FDA does not ensure registration, clearance, approval, or certification by comparable foreign regulatory authorities. Complying with foreign regulatory requirements, including obtaining registrations, clearances, approvals, or certifications, can be expensive and time consuming, and we may not receive regulatory clearances, approvals, or certifications in each country or region in which we plan to market our products or we may be unable to do so on a timely basis. In turn, this could limit our ability to expand into international markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The following summarizes all sales of our unregistered securities from January 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024.

No placement or underwriting fees were paid in connection with these transactions. All cash proceeds from the sale of securities were used for working capital purposes.
