1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Overview
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”, “QuantRx” or the “Company” refers to QuantRx Biomedical Corporation, unless context otherwise requires. QuantRx Biomedical Corporation was incorporated on December 5, 1986, in the State of Nevada. Our principal business office is located at 10190 SW 90th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062.
We have developed and intend to commercialize our patented miniform pads (“PADs”) and PAD based over-the-counter products for the treatment of hemorrhoids, minor vaginal infection, urinary incontinence, general catamenial uses and other medical needs. We are also developing and intend to commercialize genomic diagnostics for the laboratory market, based on our lateral flow patents. Our platforms include: inSync®, UniqueTM, and OEM branded over-the-counter and laboratory testing products based on our core intellectual property related to our PAD technology.
The continuation of our operations remains contingent upon the receipt of additional financing required to execute our business and operating plan, which is currently focused on the commercialization of our PAD technology either directly or through a joint venture or other relationship intended to increase shareholder value. In the interim, we have nominal operations, focused principally on maintaining our intellectual property portfolio and maintaining compliance with the public company reporting requirements. In order to continue as a going concern, we will need to raise capital, which may include through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities. No assurances can be given that we will be able to obtain additional financing under terms favorable to us, if at all, or otherwise successfully develop a business and operating plan or enter into an alternative relationship to commercialize our PAD technology.
Our principal business line consists of over-the-counter commercialization of our InSync feminine hygienic interlabial pad, the Unique® Miniform for hemorrhoid application, and other treated miniforms (the “OTC Business”), as well as maintaining established and continuing licensing relationships related to these products. We also own certain diagnostic testing technology (the “Diagnostic Business”, and collectively with the OTC Business, the "Business") that is based on our lateral flow patents. Management believes this corporate structure permits us to more efficiently explore options to maximize the value of our products and intellectual property portfolio, with the objective of maximizing the value of the Businesses for the benefit of the Company and our shareholders.
Our current focus is to obtain additional working capital necessary to continue as a going concern, and to develop a longer term financing and operating plan to: (i) commercialize our over-the-counter products either directly or through joint ventures, mergers or similar transactions intended to capitalize on potential commercial opportunities; (ii) contract manufacturing of our over-the-counter products to third parties while maintaining control over the manufacturing process; (iii) maintain our intellectual property portfolio with respect to patents and licenses pertaining to both the OTC Business and the Diagnostics Business; and (iv) maximize the value of our investments in non-core assets. As a result of our current financial condition, however, our efforts in the short-term will be focused on obtaining financing necessary to maintain the Company as a going concern.
We follow the accounting guidance outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification guidelines. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles for interim financial information and with the items under Regulation S-X required by the instructions to Form 10-Q. They may not include all information and footnotes required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2021. The interim unaudited financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, which unless otherwise disclosed herein, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported losses, total assets or stockholders’ equity.
2. MANAGEMENT STATEMENT REGARDING GOING CONCERN
We currently are not generating revenue from operations, and do not anticipate generating meaningful revenue from operations or otherwise in the short-term. We have historically financed our operations primarily through issuances of equity and the proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes. In the past, we also provided for our cash needs by issuing Common Stock, options and warrants for certain operating costs, including consulting and professional fees, as well as divesting its minority equity interests and equity-linked investments. In addition, in the fiscal year ended 2018, we received cash payments as consideration for the sale and transfer of the Purchased Assets to Preprogen.
Our history of operating losses, limited cash resources and the absence of an operating plan necessary to capitalize on our assets raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern absent a strengthening of our cash position. Management is currently pursuing various funding options, including seeking debt or equity financing, licensing opportunities and the sale of certain investment holdings, as well as a strategic, merger or other transaction to obtain additional funding to continue the development of, and to successfully commercialize, our products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts. Should we be unable to obtain adequate financing or generate sufficient revenue in the future, the Company’s business, result of operations, liquidity and financial condition would be materially and adversely harmed, and we will be unable to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that, assuming we are able to strengthen its cash position, we will achieve sufficient revenue or profitable operations to continue as a going concern.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting for Share-Based Payments. The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718, which establishes the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges equity securities for services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model in determining fair value. Accordingly, compensation cost has been recognized using the fair value method and expected term accrual requirements as prescribed. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no stock compensation expense.
In June 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-07) to expand the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted (for “emerging growth company” beginning after December 15, 2019). The Company has adopted this standard effective from January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have any significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
In the case of modifications, the Black-Scholes model is used to value modified warrants on the modification date by applying the revised assumptions. The difference between the fair value of the warrants prior to the modification and after the modification determines the incremental value. In the past, the Company has modified warrants in connection with the issuance of certain notes and note extensions. These modified warrants were originally issued in connection with previous private placement investments. In the case of debt issuances, the warrants were accounted for as original issuance discount based on their relative fair values. When modified in connection with a note issuance, the Company recognizes the incremental value as a part of the debt discount calculation, using its relative fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. When modified in connection with note extensions, the Company recognized the incremental value as prepaid interest, which is expensed over the term of the extension.
The fair value of each share-based payment is estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions, which are determined at the beginning of each year and utilized in all calculations for that year. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not make any Black-Scholes model assumptions, as no share-based payments were made during those periods.

6-
Risk-Free Interest Rate. The interest rate used is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury security as of the beginning of the year.
Expected Volatility. The Company calculates the expected volatility based on historical volatility of monthly stock prices over a three-year period.
Dividend Yield. The Company has never paid cash dividends, and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends, and thus has assumed a 0% dividend yield.
Expected Term. For options, the Company has no history of employee exercise patterns. Therefore, the Company uses the option term as the expected term. For warrants, the Company uses the actual term of the warrant.
Pre-Vesting Forfeitures. Estimates of pre-vesting option forfeitures are based on Company experience. The Company will adjust its estimate of forfeitures over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.
Earnings per Share. The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with ASC Topic 260. Net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and the dilutive effect of common share equivalents, such as options and warrants to purchase common stock, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes, if applicable, that are outstanding each year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, basic and diluted earnings per share were the same at the reporting dates of the accompanying financial statements, as including common stock equivalents in the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have been antidilutive.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company has no outstanding options, as all options expired in 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding warrants exercisable for 15,000,000 shares of its common stock $0.01 par value (“Common Stock”), and outstanding preferred stock, $0.01 par value (“Preferred Stock”) convertible into 6,196,893 shares of its Common Stock, which options, warrants and Preferred Stock were deemed to be antidilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2021, the Company had reserved for issuance to certain investors 860,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible into 860,000 shares of its Common Stock. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has estimated and reserved for issuance approximately 20.0 million shares of Common Stock for a future conversion of its issued and outstanding Convertible Notes Payable.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no outstanding options. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding warrants exercisable for 15,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, and outstanding Preferred Stock convertible into 6,196,893 shares of its Common Stock, which options, warrants and Preferred Stock were deemed to be antidilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020, the Company had reserved for issuance to certain investors 860,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible into 860,000 shares of its Common Stock. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has estimated and reserved for issuance approximately 20.0 million shares of Common Stock for a future conversion of its issued and outstanding Convertible Notes Payable.
Fair Value. The Company has adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its assets or liabilities.
Use of Estimates. The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include certain estimates and assumptions, which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications. Prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The reclassifications have no effect on net loss or earnings per share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements in the current period and identified no pronouncements that would have an impact on our financial statements.
4. INVESTMENTS
In December 2018, the Company acquired a 15% interest in Preprogen LLC pursuant to the Preprogen Transaction. On October 8, 2018, the Preprogen Agreement was amended to provide for, among other things, the release of funds held in escrow related to the manufacture of the miniform pads (the “Preprogen Amendment”), which resulted in both parties receiving $200,583 in cash. As consideration for the Preprogen Amendment, the Company agreed to pay Preprogen a royalty of 5% from the sale of all over-the-counter miniform products; provided, however, that such royalty payments shall terminate when Preprogen has received $200,000 in aggregate consideration from the royalties paid by us, and that we shall be entitled to offset such royalty payments due and payable to Preprogen by amounts equal to certain other payments otherwise due and payable to us by Preprogen pursuant to the terms of the Preprogen Agreement. At December 31, 2019, we had fully impaired our investment in Preprogen.
