NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Operations
zPREDICTA, Inc., (the “Company” or “zPREDICTA” or “we”) was originally incorporated on April 11, 2016 in San Jose, California. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger effective May 9, 2016, Ixchel Scientific, a California corporation, merged with and into a Delaware corporation with the name of zPREDICTA, Inc., with such Delaware corporation as the surviving corporation of the merger. zPREDICTA develops tumor-specific in vitro models for oncology drug discovery and research. The Company’s mission is to accelerate the drug development process for its clients and partners by leveraging our team’s expertise in carcinogenesis, metastasis and the tumor microenvironment. The Company develops complex in vitro models that recapitulate the physiological environment of human tissue and thus provide a more clinically relevant testing platform than commonly-used alternatives.
From target discovery and lead optimization to preclinical evaluation of efficacy and toxicity, zPREDICTA’s goal is to develop the tools necessary to accurately identify compounds that will have the highest probability of improving human health. The Company offers preclinical testing services based on its proprietary models directly to clients in the biopharmaceutical industry and through its partnership with LabCorp. The tumor-specific models are used by many leading biopharmaceutical companies to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of their therapeutic pipelines.
On September 30, 2021, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Predictive Oncology Inc. for the Company to be acquired in a proposed transaction. The transaction closed November 24, 2021 and the Company is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Predictive Oncology Inc.
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company has no cash equivalents as of ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable are reported at the amount the Company expects to collect on balances outstanding. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through charges to earnings and credits to the valuation allowance based on management’s assessment of the current status of individual accounts.
Amounts recorded in accounts receivable on the balance sheet include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The Company reviews customers’ credit history before extending unsecured credit and establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Invoices are generally due 30 days after presentation. Accounts receivable over 30 days is generally considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivables. Receivables are written off once all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance was $0 as of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Fair Value Measurements
As outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting standards ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company uses observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation.
The fair value of the Company’s investment securities, which consist of cash, was determined based on Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s SAFE liabilities and debt were determined based on Level 3 inputs. In addition, the Company uses the Monte Carlo method when valuing the conversion feature and other embedded features classified as SAFE liabilities on a recurring basis. See Note 8 – SAFE Liabilities.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of fixed assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful asset life of laboratory equipment is five years.
Upon retirement or sale of fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations expense as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales taxes are imposed on the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers. The Company collects the taxes from the customers and remits the entire amounts to the governmental authorities. Sales taxes are excluded from revenue and expenses.
Revenue from Screening Services and Custom Model Development
zPREDICTA provides services for screening anti-cancer therapeutic agents. Contract revenues are generally derived from studies conducted with biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies. The specific methodology for revenue recognition is determined on a contract-by-contract basis according to the facts and circumstances applicable to a given contract. Advance payments received in excess of revenues recognized are classified as deferred revenue until such time as the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Payment terms are net 30 from the invoice date, which is sent to the customer as the Company satisfies the performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. zPREDICTA’s payments terms vary by the agreements reached with customers. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at one point in time when data and reports are delivered.
Variable Consideration
The Company records revenue from customers in an amount that reflects the transaction price it expects to be entitled to after transferring control of those goods or services. The Company’s current contracts do not contain any features that create variability in the amount or timing of revenue to be earned.
Contract Balances
The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to receive consideration after the performance obligations are satisfied. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accounts receivable totaled $76,189 and $51,961, respectively.
The Company’s deferred revenues related primarily to advance payments related to services for screening anti-cancer therapeutic agents and totaled $130,833 and $151,333 as of September 30, 2021 and as of December 31, 2020, respectively.
Valuation and accounting for stock options
The Company determines the grant date fair value of options using 409A option valuation model based upon assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate, volatility and estimated term.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the most recent 409A option valuation model with the following assumptions:
| | For the Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| | 2021 | | 2020 |
| | Stock Options |
Expected dividend yield | | | 0.0 | % | | | 0.0 | % |
Expected stock price volatility | | | 75 | % | | | 75 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 0.14 | % | | | 0.14 | % |
Expected life | | | 10 years | | | | 10 years | |
Research and Development
Research and development costs were $5,383 and $442 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development costs were $45,265 and $5,299 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are included in operations expense in the statements of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, certain stock transactions which significantly change ownership could limit the amount of net operating carryforwards that may be utilized on an annual basis to offset taxable income in future periods. The Company has not yet performed an analysis of the annual net operating loss carryforwards and limitations that are available to be used against taxable income. Consequently, the limitation, if any, could result in the expiration of the Company’s loss carryforwards before they can be utilized. The Company has not analyzed net operating loss carryforwards under Section 382 to date.
There is no income tax provision in the accompanying statements of operations due to the cumulative operating losses that indicate a 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets and state income taxes is appropriate.
The Company reviews income tax positions expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the positions. The Company has identified no income tax uncertainties.
All tax returns remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities due to the Company’s net loss position.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The Company has no credit risk on cash amounts held in a single institution that are in excess of amounts issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industries, including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with regulations of the Food and Drug Administration, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, and other governmental agencies as applicable.
The Company has evaluated all of its activities and concluded that no other subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements, except as described above and in Note 8 – Subsequent Events.
NOTE 2 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK OPTIONS
Authorized Shares
Per the certificate of incorporation of the Company the number of authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value.
Equity Incentive Plan
The Company has an equity incentive plan, which allows issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company, where permitted under the plan. The exercise price for each stock option is determined by the market price on the date of issuance. Vesting requirements are determined by the Board of Directors when granted and currently range from immediate to four years. Options outstanding under this plan have a contractual life of ten years.
Options
ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, (“ASC 718”) requires that a company that issues equity as compensation needs to record compensation expense on its statements of net loss that corresponds to the estimated fair value of those equity grants. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model or other acceptable means.
The Company determines the grant date fair value of options using a 409A option valuation model based upon assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate, volatility and estimated term. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Accounting Policies and Estimates.
The following summarizes transactions for stock options for the periods indicated:
| | Stock Options |
| | Number of Shares | | Average Exercise Price |
| | | | |
Outstanding at December 31, 2020 | | | 1,381,336 | | | $ | 0.09 | |

The promissory note has a term of 2 years with a 1% per annum interest rate. Payments are deferred for 6 months from the date of the promissory note and the Company can apply for forgiveness of all or a portion of the promissory note after 60 days for covered use of funds.
Pursuant to the terms of the PPP, the promissory note, or a portion thereof, may be forgiven if proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, such as payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage interest payments, rent and utilities. The Company has used all proceeds for qualifying expenses. The Company received forgiveness for the loan under the Paycheck Protection Program and recognized a gain in other income for the full amount of the loan during the first quarter of 2021.
The SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP loan, regardless of size. These audits may occur after forgiveness has been granted. In accordance with the CARES Act, all borrowers are required to maintain their PPP loan documentation for six years after the PPP loan was forgiven or repaid in full and to provide that documentation to the SBA upon request.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes consists of an amount for taxes currently payable and a provision for tax consequences deferred to future periods. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
There is no federal or state income tax provision in the accompanying statements of net loss due to the cumulative operating losses incurred and 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets.
Actual income tax benefit differs from statutory federal income tax benefit as follows:
| | Nine months Ended September 30, |
| | 2021 | | 2020 |
Statutory federal income taxes | | $ | 67,000 | | | $ | (63,000 | ) |
State tax benefit, net of federal taxes | | | 22,000 | | | | (19,000 | ) |
Nondeductible/nontaxable items | | | 7,000 | | | | - | |
Valuation allowance increase (decrease) | | | (96,000 | ) | | | 82,000 | |

The Company has determined, based upon its history, that it is probable that future taxable income may be insufficient to fully realize the benefits of the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. As such, the Company has determined that a full valuation allowance is warranted. Future events and changes in circumstances could cause this valuation allowance to change.
At December 31, 2020, the Company has approximately $394,000 of gross NOLs to reduce future federal taxable income, the majority of which are expected to be available for use in 2021. The federal NOL’s of $145,000 expire beginning in 2036 if unused and $249,000 will carryforward indefinitely. The Company also has approximately $388,000 of gross NOLs and credits to reduce future state taxable income at December 31, 2020. The state NOL’s will expire beginning in 2036 if unused. The Company's net deferred tax assets, which include the NOLs, are subject to a full valuation allowance. At December 31, 2020, the valuation allowance was $170,000.
At September 30, 2021, the Company has approximately $0 of gross NOLs to reduce future federal taxable income. The Company's net deferred tax assets are subject to a full valuation allowance. At September 30, 2021, the valuation allowance was $87,000.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
