The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these
financial statements, include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, derivative
liabilitiesallowance and the fair
value of stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our
cash, cash equivalents, investments, inventory, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value
due to the short-term
nature of these instruments.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires incremental disclosures about specific expense categories, including but not limited to, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and selling expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures. The amendments only impact disclosures and are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting,
which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue
as a going concern. During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we did not generate any revenues, and recognized a net loss of $822,996,$1,740,818,
due to a change in operating expenses and cash of $722,587$1,460,435 used in operations. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had working capital of $751,663$788,355
and a shareholders’ deficit of $2,718,350.$2,643,279.
Management
believes that we will be able to continue to raise funds through the sale of our securities to existing and new investors, including
through the use of its equity financing agreement entered into with GHSGHS. Management believes that funding from existing and prospective
new investors and future revenue will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due and will allow the
development of our core business operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available,
that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain
undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt-financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity
financing.
As
of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had working capital of $751,663$788,355 compared to $1,433,163 for the year ended December 31, 2025. This decrease in working
capital was due primarily to a decrease in cash.
During
the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we used $722,587$1,460,435 in cash for operating activities, as compared to $492,812$1,003,615 for the prior period
ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities for the current period was a result of an increase in research
researchand development, and development cost,general and advertisingadministrative and marketing.costs.
There
was no investing or financing activities during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and MarchJune 31,30, 2025.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we received $763,035 in cash for financing activities as compared to $0 for the prior period ended June 30, 2025. Cash received during the current period was for shares issued through an equity financing agreement.
Our
independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, expressed substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Our financial statements as of
MarchJune 31,30, 2026, have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern,
concern, ultimately is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue, which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity
or debt
financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. Our financial statements
do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
