(1) We are offering up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, plus up to 1,500,000 shares to be issued to investors who purchase 200,000 or more shares. The selling shareholders are offering up to 614,000 shares of Common Stock, plus up to 92,100 shares to be issued to investors who purchase 200,000 or more shares.
(2) We have not engaged any placement agent or underwriter in connection with this offering. To the extent that we do so, we will file a supplement to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.
(3) Does not include expenses of the offering. See “Use of Proceeds” and “Plan of Distribution and Selling Shareholders.”
We expect that the amount of expenses of the offering that we will pay if all offered shares are sold will be approximately $3,770,000. This amount includes the following: (a) platform fees to Manhattan Street Capital of $120,000 and estimated technology fees of 7% of the funds raised (paid by the Company and selling shareholders as applicable) (bi) accounting fees of $20,000, (c) legal fees of $60,000, and (d) edgarization fees of $12,000 and state filing fees and other expenses of $108,000. This amount does not include commissions if we engage any registered brokers.
(4) Does not include the effective discount that would result from investors purchasing shares at a 15% discount based upon an investor’s investment level. For details of the effective discount, see “Plan of Distribution and Selling Shareholders - Perks.”
We have entered into an agreement with FundAthena, Inc., d/b/a Manhattan Street Capital (“Manhattan Street Capital”) in connection with the use of its online platform for this offering. Under that agreement, we will pay Manhattan Street Capital fees of (a) $60,000 in cash and 405,000 shares of Common Stock as a project management retainer fee, plus ten-year cashless exercise warrants to purchase $60,000 of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, or 12,000 shares of Common Stock, (b) $5,000 per month while the offering is live for investment or reservations, including any “testing the waters” time period, plus ten-year cashless exercise warrants to purchase 12,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, and (c) a technology and administration fee of $25 per investor, in cash, paid by us when each investor deposits funds into the escrow account plus ten-year cashless exercise warrants to purchase the same value of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Shareholders – Online Platform.” The total number of warrants and underlying shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to clauses (2) and (3) above will not be determined until the offering is terminated. None of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued to Manhattan Street Capital are included in the 10,000,000 shares being offering by the Company.
The offering (the “Offering”) will terminate at the earlier of: (a) the date at which the maximum offering amount, $53,070,000 (the “Maximum Offering Amount”) has been sold (b) the date at which the Offering is earlier terminated by the Company in its sole discretion or (c) September 26, 2022. We have engaged Prime Trust as an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) to hold funds tendered by investors. No minimum target amount is required and the Escrow Agent may hold a series of closings on a rolling basis from which we will receive the funds from the escrow agent and issue the shares to investors. We may undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to us. After the initial closing of the Offering, we expect to hold closings on at least a monthly basis. Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock will not be escrowed, and all net proceeds will be immediately available for our use.
THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OF OR GIVE ITS APPROVAL OF ANY SECURITIES OFFERED OR THE TERMS OF THE OFFERING, NOR DOES IT PASS UPON THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OFFERING CIRCULAR OR OTHER SOLICITATION MATERIALS. THESE SECURITIES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE COMMISSION; HOWEVER, THE COMMISSION HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE SECURITIES OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

We are following the “Offering Circular” disclosure format of Regulation A.
In the event that we become a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we intend to take advantage of the provisions that relate to “Emerging Growth Companies” under the JOBS Act of 2012. See “Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In this Offering Circular, unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “GATC Health,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to GATC Health Corp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, GATC Rx Corp (“GATC Rx”).
THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR MAY CONTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION RELATING TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, US, OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND STRATEGY, AND OUR INDUSTRY. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON THE BELIEFS OF, ASSUMPTIONS MADE BY, AND INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO OUR MANAGEMENT. WHEN USED IN THE OFFERING MATERIALS, THE WORDS “ESTIMATE,” “PROJECT,” “BELIEVE,” “ANTICIPATE,” “INTEND,” “EXPECT” AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHICH CONSTITUTE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE STATEMENTS REFLECT MANAGEMENT’S CURRENT VIEWS WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE EVENTS AND ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD CAUSE OUR ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHICH SPEAK ONLY AS OF THE DATE ON WHICH THEY ARE MADE. WE DO NOT UNDERTAKE ANY OBLIGATION TO REVISE OR UPDATE THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS TO REFLECT EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES AFTER SUCH DATE OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF UNANTICIPATED EVENTS.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We are not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because we are not registering our securities under the Exchange Act. Rather, we will be subject to the more limited reporting requirements under Regulation A, including the obligation to electronically file:
| | |
|
|
| ● | annual reports (including disclosure relating to our business operations for the preceding three fiscal years, or, if in existence for less than three years, since inception, related party transactions, beneficial ownership of the issuer’s securities, executive officers and directors and certain executive compensation information, management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of our liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations, and two years of audited financial statements), |
| | |
|
|
| ● | semi-annual reports (including disclosure primarily relating to our interim financial statements and MD&A), and |
3
| | |
|
|
| ● | current reports for certain material events. |
In addition, at any time after completing reporting for the fiscal year in which this offering statement was qualified, if the securities of each class to which this offering statement relates are held of record by fewer than 300 persons and offers or sales are not ongoing, we may immediately suspend the Company’s ongoing reporting obligations under Regulation A.
If and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as an issuer with less than $1.07 billion in total annual gross revenues during its last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:
| | |
|
|
|
| ● | will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; |
| | |
|
|
|
| ● | will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”); |
| | |
|
|
|
| ● | will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes); |
| | |
|
|
|
| ● | will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure; |
| | |
|
|
|
| ● | may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and |
| | |
|
|
|
| ● | will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards. |
We intend to take advantage of all these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under Section 107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.
Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) or such earlier time should we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.
4
Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “Commission”) rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.
OFFERING CIRCULAR SUMMARY
This Offering Circular Summary highlights information contained elsewhere and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in our Common Stock, you should carefully read this entire Offering Circular, including our financial statements and related notes. You should also consider, among other information, the matters described under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
The Company
GATC Health Corp (“we,” “us” or the “Company”) is engaged in the business of utilizing advanced, proprietary artificial intelligence for drug discovery and improved disease detection. Our platform analyzes human DNA and multiomics data to provide products and services for our customers that are faster, more cost effective and accurate than our competitors. For drug discovery and development we believe that our unique approach permits us to traverse diagnostic biomarker discovery, drug compound discovery, and finally, clinical de-risking of drugs in a matter of months, as opposed to years, and for dramatically less cost than other methodologies. To date we have identified a molecule for the treatment of addictive behavior with the application of this technology.
We have developed five specific platforms, or Engines, for early disease detection and treatment recommendations: health and wellness optimization, medical cannabis recommendations (licensed through an affiliate), a viral immunity Engine (including COVID-19 immunity); a depressive/anxiety Engine; and an Engine for cardiovascular health supplements. We recently began developing our proprietary AI-assisted drug discovery technology, which, we believe, can dramatically decrease the time and expense required for the development of novel pharmaceutical compounds. We have one wholly-owned subsidiary, GATC Rx Corp (“GATC Rx”), which developed a viral immunity engine. We acquired the 36.6% minority interests in GATC Rx on August 12, 2021 in exchange for 2,431,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
All share numbers in this Memorandum give effect to a 1 for 1 stock dividend effected in August, 2021 and the conversion of our 8% Convertible Debentures into Common Stock on September 21, 2021.
We were incorporated in Wyoming on May 16, 2020. Our business office is located at 2030 Main Street, Suite 660, Irvine California 92614. Our telephone number is (833) 333-GATC (4282) and our website is www.gatchealth.com.

RISK FACTORS
The SEC requires us to identify risks that are specific to our business and our financial condition. We are still subject to all the same risks that all companies in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events and technological developments (such as cyber-attacks and the ability to prevent those attacks). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently more risky than more mature companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.
Risks related to Us and Our Business
Future revenues from our technology cannot be assured. Our revenues will be dependent on our ability to market Multiomic Advanced Technology™ (“MAT”), our AI-assisted drug discovery and development platform, and our disease detection and treatment recommendation engines, as well as our ability to design and market additional specialized genetic analysis engines targeted to specific medical conditions (“Engine” or “Engines” as applicable”). We currently have limited revenues from operations. Development of our business plan will require significant investment in funds and management resources, and will be time consuming. We believe that the proceeds from the sale of all shares offered hereby will be sufficient to execute on our business plan, and we are also offering up to 2,000,000 units, consisting of shares of Common Stock and Warrants, through a concurrent private placement limited to accredited investors. There can be no assurance we will be able to obtain sufficient funds to complete our business plan if all offered shares are sold, nor that our business plan will be successful.
Our proposed products may become subject to regulatory approval. Our genetic testing products are not currently subject to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration, but in the event they become subject to the FDA’s regulations, obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval could be difficult, time-consuming and costly. Specifically, our management team has no experience in dealing with FDA regulations, compliance delays could ensue, and deferred exploitation of our technology could occur and we could see an overall increase in our costs. We plan to conduct animal studies on our patent-pending addiction molecule through a third party experienced in FDA procedures. At this time, we intend to concentrate on our core business and do not foresee that we will contnue to develop this molecule through the complete FDA process; rather we most likely will license to or joint venture develop the molecule with a partner with expertise in the FDA approval process.
We may not be able to develop commercial products. Successful product development in the genetic testing and drug development industries is highly uncertain, and very few research and development projects produce a commercial product. The development of Engines and new pharmaceuticals are costly and requires several months of research and development. Our research and development team is small at this time, and we will need to expend significant funds to hire, train and deploy technical and scientific staff in the future. We have been required to contract with an outside party to augment our research and development team. While this assists us in accelerating development, we have less control over outside contractors than with our own personnel.
Dependence on Supplier. Our customers currently rely on Gene by Gene, Ltd., (“Gene by Gene”) as the supplier of test kits and initial DNA sequencing. Were Gene by Gene, Ltd. for any reason to cease to do business, our customers' businesses would be adversely affected until they could obtain a new supplier. We estimate that there are dozens of other United States companies with equal or better sequencing abilities than Gene by Gene, and we believe that finding an alternate supplier would require about one month.
Our proposed products will face substantial competition. We operate in a highly competitive environment. Our products compete with other products for genetic testing and drug development. Large pharmaceutical companies are expanding into the genomics field with increasing frequency. These companies will likely have greater resources than we do. In addition, some of our competitors may have technical or competitive advantages over us for the development of technologies and processes. These resources may make it difficult for us to compete with them to successfully discover, develop and market new products and for our current products to compete with new products or new product indications that these competitors may bring to market. As a result, our products may compete against products that have lower prices or equivalent or superior performance.
Our intellectual property positions may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or expire, or we may fail to prevail in present and future intellectual property litigation. Our primary assets consist of intellectual property, including patent applications and trade secrets, and we are continually enhancing our intellectual property estate. We expect to file additional patent applications in the next 24 months. Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and defend our US patent rights and other intellectual property rights that are important to the
8
commercialization of our products and product candidates. The patent process can be highly uncertain and often involve complex legal, scientific and factual questions. Third parties may challenge, invalidate or circumvent our patents and patent applications relating to our products, product candidates and technologies. In addition, patent positions might not protect us against competitors with similar products or technologies because competing products or technologies may not infringe those patents. Patent disputes are frequent, costly and can preclude, delay or increase the cost of commercialization of products. A determination made by a court, agency or tribunal concerning infringement, validity, enforceability, injunctive or economic remedy, or the right to patent protection, for example, are typically subject to appellate or administrative review. Upon review, such initial determinations may be afforded little or no deference by the reviewing tribunal and may be affirmed, reversed, or made the subject of reconsideration through further proceedings. A patent dispute or litigation may not discourage a potential violator from bringing the product that is alleged to infringe to market prior to a final resolution of the dispute or litigation. The period of time from inception until resolution of a patent dispute or litigation is subject to the availability and schedule of the court, agency or tribunal before which the dispute or litigation is pending. We may be subject to competition during this period and may not be able to fully recover for the losses, damages, and harms we incur from infringement by the competitor product even if we prevail. Moreover, if we lose or settle current or future litigations at certain stages or entirely, we could be subject to competition and/or significant liabilities, be required to enter into third-party licenses for the infringed product or technology or be required to cease using the technology or product in dispute. In addition, we cannot guarantee that such licenses will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
As our patents expire, competitors may be able to legally produce and market similar products or technologies, which may have a material adverse effect on our product sales, business and results of operations. We plan to continue to seek additional patent protection relating to our technology and future products. However, competitors may be able to invalidate, design around or otherwise circumvent the licensed patents and sell competing products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to replace the revenue lost upon the expiration of the patents.
From time to time, U.S. and other policymakers have proposed reforming the patent laws and regulations of their countries. In September 2011, after years of Congressional debate regarding patent reform legislation, President Obama signed into law the America Invents Act (the “Act”) considered by many to be the most substantial revision of U.S. patent law since 1952. The Act changes the current “first-to-invent” system to a system that awards a patent to the “first-inventor-to-file” for an application for a patentable invention. This change alters the pool of available materials that can be used to challenge patents and eliminates the ability to rely on prior research work in order to lay claim to patent rights. Disputes as to whether the first filer is in fact the true inventor will be resolved through newly implemented derivation proceedings. The Act also creates mechanisms to allow challenges to newly issued patents in the patent office in post-grant proceedings and new inter partes reexamination proceedings. Although many of the changes bring U.S. law into closer harmony with European and other national patent laws, the new bases and procedures may make it easier for competitors to challenge our patent, which could result in increased competition and have a material adverse effect on our product sales, business and results of operations. The changes may also make it harder to challenge third-party patents and place greater importance on being the first inventor to file a patent application on an invention.
We may not be able to access the capital and credit markets on terms that are favorable to us, or at all. The capital and credit markets may experience extreme volatility and disruption which may lead to uncertainty and liquidity issues for both borrowers and investors. We may access the capital markets to supplement our existing funds and cash generated from operations in satisfying our needs for working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements. In the event of adverse capital and credit market conditions, we may not be able to obtain capital market financing on favorable terms, or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Changes in credit ratings issued by nationally recognized credit rating agencies could adversely affect our cost of financing and have an adverse effect on the market price of our securities. The same factors could impact the ability of our customers to purchase our products.
We may continue to enter into joint ventures for the exploitation of our technology. We have licensed our intellectual property on a non-exclusive basis to other entities controlled by management and others, and intend to continue to do so. This licensing permits us to concentrate our limited financial resources on our core business, while giving us a potential royalty income stream. Although we believe that these agreements are on terms at least
9
as favorable as obtainable from unrelated third parties, these licensing agreements with affiliates may be considered to introduce conflicts of interests between us and these licensees. We also may face the risk that these third parties may not perform as well as we could have, and that if successful, we will obtain less revenue in the short term, we believe, than if we were not to enter into such agreements.
We have a limited operating history and may never be profitable. Since we have a limited operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business. We expect that we will continue to need to raise additional capital to fund our operations. There can be no assurance that such additional capital will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. There can be no assurance that we will be profitable.
We have no intention to pay dividends. A return on investment may be limited to the value of the Common Stock. We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the Board of Directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base, product development and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that we will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our Common Stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of the Board. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment would only occur if the Company’s stock price appreciates.
Cyber Security Risks of our Multiomic Advanced Technology™ The AI software included in our Multiomic Advanced Technology™ is subject to security risks (cyber security) and the potential loss of confidential customer data. There have recently been a number of high– profile data breaches. Such data breaches could result in serious liability to the Company and impair consumer confidence in our services. We attempt to prevent data breaches by utilizing state-of-the-art cyber security measures, and by isolating sensitive data from remote access. There can be no assurance we will be successful in doing so.
Risks of expansion of our business arise due to our limited operating history. Historically we have had a limited number of employees and consultants. As we obtain customers, we will be required to establish a corporate infrastructure, and management has limited experience in managing an enterprise. Our continued growth and profitability depend on our ability to successfully realize our growth strategy by expanding our sales. We cannot assure that our efforts will be successful nor that we will not incur unforeseen administrative and compliance costs. In particular, the growth of our business is dependent on the ability of our technical staff to develop genomic analysis Engines for additional sets of diseases. Because of the specialized nature of our proprietary technology, each new technical employee requires significant training, and if we expand our business rapidly, we could encounter delays in developing and deploying new products. We could also face significant competition for new technical staff from other companies in the computer software or genomics industry, which we believe will enjoy continued expansion in the near future. These factors could adversely impact our growth and profitability.
Our future success depends on our ability to develop new and accurate genetic diagnosis Engines for diseases and the marketing of those Engines thorough medical professionals and others. If we are unable to effectively market our Multiomic Advanced Technology™ we will be unable to grow and expand our business or implement our business strategy, which could materially impair our ability to obtain sales and revenue.
Capital and credit market conditions may adversely affect our access to various sources of capital and/or the cost of capital, which could impact our business activities, dividends, earnings and Common Stock price, among other things. Our failure to obtain capital may significantly restrict our operations. We need capital to operate and fund our business plan. We do not know what the terms of any future capital raising may be but any future sale of our equity securities will dilute the ownership of existing stockholders and could be at prices substantially below the price of the shares sold in this Offering. Our failure to obtain the capital, which we require, may result in the slower implementation or curtailment of our business plan.
Dependence on Key Personnel. We depend on key personnel, including John Stroh, our Chief Executive Officer, and other current and future members of management, and the loss of services of one or more members of our senior management team or our technical team or our inability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, could

adversely affect our business, diminish our investment opportunities and weaken our relationships with lenders, business partners and existing and prospective industry participants, which could negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and trading price of our Common Stock.
The ability of stockholders to control our policies and effect a change of control of our Company is limited by certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws and by Wyoming law. There are provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws that may discourage a third party from making a proposal to acquire us, even if some of our stockholders might consider the proposal to be in their best interests. These provisions include the following:
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to 10 million shares of preferred stock with such rights, preferences and privileges as determined by the board, and therefore to authorize us to issue such shares of stock. We believe these Articles of Incorporation provisions will provide us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings. The additional classes or series will be available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded. Although our Board of Directors does not currently intend to do so, it could authorize us to issue a class or series of stock that could, depending upon the terms of the particular class or series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of our Company that might involve a premium price for holders of our Common Stock or that our Common Stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, each share of which is convertible into twenty shares of Common Stock and entitles the holder to 200 votes per share. Six of our shareholders have accepted an offer to exchange shares of their Common Stock for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock thereby, holding 727,382.2 shares, and giving these 6 shareholders voting control (85.7%) of the Company.
The Articles of Incorporation provide for a classified Board of Directors, with each director serving a three-year term and with the terms of service for each director staggered, so that only one-third of our directors may be subject to re-election every year.
In addition to the above provisions, certain provisions of the Wyoming Management Stability Act may have the effect of impeding a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could be in the best interests of our stockholders, including:
| | | |
| • | | “business combination” provisions that, until our Common Stock is listed on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange, or we have more than 1,000 shareholders of record, or we have assets of more than $10 million as of the end of our last fiscal year, prohibit certain business combinations between us and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 15% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting shares or an affiliate or associate of ours who, at any time within the three-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of our then outstanding voting shares) or an affiliate thereof for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter imposes special appraisal rights 11
and special stockholder voting requirements (approval by two-thirds of shares not owned by the interested shareholder); and |
| • | | “control share” provisions that provide that holders of “control shares” of our Company (defined as shares which, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to exercise voting power in the election of directors within one of three increasing ranges) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of issued and outstanding “control shares,” subject to certain exceptions) have no voting rights with respect to such shares except to the extent approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares. |
Such takeover defenses may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us under the circumstances that otherwise could provide our Common Stockholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then current market price. Each item discussed above may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of our Company, even if a proposed transaction is at a premium over the then-current market price for our Common Stock. Further, these provisions may apply in instances where some stockholders consider a transaction beneficial to them. As a result, our stock price may be negatively affected by these provisions.
Our Board of Directors may change our policies without stockholder approval. Our policies, including any policies with respect to investments, leverage, financing, growth, debt and capitalization, will be determined by our Board of Directors or those committees or officers to whom our Board of Directors delegates such authority. Our Board of Directors will also establish the amount of any dividends or other distributions that we may pay to our stockholders. Our Board of Directors or the committees or officers to which such decisions are delegated will have the ability to amend or revise these and our other policies at any time without stockholder vote. Accordingly, our stockholders will not be entitled to approve changes in our policies, and, while not intending to do so, our Board of Directors may adopt policies that may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited, which could limit your recourse in the event of actions that you do not believe are in your best interests. Wyoming law provides that a director has no liability in that capacity if he or she satisfies his or her duties to us and our stockholders. Our Articles of Incorporation will limit the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or a final judgment based upon a finding of active and deliberate dishonesty by the director or officer that was material to the cause of action adjudicated. Our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws also authorize us to indemnify these officers for actions taken by them in those capacities to the maximum extent permitted by Wyoming law. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors and officers than might otherwise exist. Accordingly, in the event that actions taken in good faith by any of our directors or officers impede our performance, your ability to recover damages from such director or officer will be limited. In addition, we will be obligated to advance the defense costs incurred by our directors and our officers, and may, in the discretion of our Board of Directors, advance the defense costs incurred by our employees and other agents, in connection with legal proceedings.
Our business could be adversely impacted if there are deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting. The design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent all errors, misstatements or misrepresentations. While management will continue to review the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, there can be no guarantee that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in accomplishing all control objectives all of the time. Furthermore, our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting with respect to entities that we do not control or manage may be substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to the subsidiaries that we have controlled or managed over the course of time. Deficiencies, including any material weakness, in our internal control over financial reporting which may occur in the future could result in misstatements of our results of operations,
12
restatements of our financial statements, a decline in our stock price, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Management discretion as to use of proceeds. Our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of our management team with respect to the application and allocation of the proceeds of this offering. The use of proceeds described in “Use of Proceeds” is an estimate based on our current business plan. However, we may find it necessary or advisable to re-allocate portions of the net proceeds reserved for one category to another, and we will have broad discretion in doing so.
Any valuation at this stage is difficult to assess. The valuation for this offering was established by our management. Unlike listed companies that are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices, the valuation of private companies, especially early-stage companies, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment.
Risks related to our securities and the offering
There has been no public market for our Common Stock and an active trading market for our Common Stock may not develop following this offering. There has not been any public market for our Common Stock, and an active trading market may not develop or be sustained. We currently have no plans to list our securities on any trading market. Our Common Stock may not be able to be resold at or above the offering price. The offering price of the Common Stock offered hereby has been determined arbitrarily by management without regard to earnings, book value, or other traditional indication of value. Our Common Stock may never trade, or may trade below the offering price following the completion of this offering. The market value of our Common Stock could be substantially affected by general market conditions, including the extent to which a secondary market develops for our Common Stock following the completion of this offering, the extent of institutional investor interest in us, the general reputation of companies in the medical cannabis industry and the attractiveness of their equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, our financial performance and general stock and bond market conditions.
The market price and trading volume of our Securities may be volatile following this offering. Even if an active trading market develops for our Common Stock, the trading price of our Common Stock may be volatile. In addition, the trading volume in our Common Stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the trading price of our Common Stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the public offering price.
Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our Common Stock include:
•
actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results or dividends;
•
changes in our funds from operations or income estimates;
•
publication of research reports about us;
•
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
•
adverse market reaction to any additional debt we incur in the future;
•
additions or departures of key management personnel;
•
actions by institutional stockholders;
•
speculation in the press or investment community;
•
the realization of any of the other risk factors presented in this Offering Circular;
•
the extent of investor interest in our securities;
•
investor confidence in the stock and bond markets, generally;
•
changes in tax laws;
•
future equity issuances;
•
failure to meet income estimates; and
•
general market and economic conditions.
In the past, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the price of their Common Stock. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and trading price of our Common Stock.
13
If you invest in this offering, you will experience immediate dilution. The offering price of the Shares is higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, if all offered shares are sold, investors will experience immediate dilution of $3.95 per share in the pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock. This means that investors who purchase Shares will pay a price per share that exceeds the pro forma net tangible book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities.
Future issuances of debt securities and equity securities may negatively affect the market price of shares of our Common Stock and, in the case of equity securities, may be dilutive to existing stockholders. In the future, we may issue debt or equity securities or incur other financial obligations, including stock dividends and shares that may be issued in exchange for common shares and equity plan shares/units. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and other loans and preferred stock will receive a distribution of our available assets before Common Stockholders. We are not required to offer any such additional debt or equity securities to existing stockholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, additional Common Stock issuances, directly or through convertible or exchangeable securities (including common units and convertible preferred units), warrants or options, will dilute the holdings of our existing Common Stockholders and such issuances or the perception of such issuances may reduce the market price of shares of our Common Stock. Any convertible preferred units would have, and any series or class of our preferred stock would likely have, a preference on distribution payments, periodically or upon liquidation, which could eliminate or otherwise limit our ability to make distributions to Common Stockholders.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements include a Going Concern Opinion.Our consolidated financial statements were prepared on a “going concern” basis. Certain matters, as described in the accompanying financial statements, indicate there may be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Specifically, we had total stockholder’s equity of only $4,525,920 and an accumulated deficit of $(15,828,394) as of September 30, 2021. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that we will achieve our goals and reach profitable operations and we are still dependent upon our ability to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or to generate positive cash flow from operations.
The Subscription Agreement has a forum selection provision that requires disputes be resolved in state or federal courts in the State of Wyoming, regardless of convenience or cost to you, the investor. As part of this investment, each investor will be required to agree to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. In the agreement, investors agree to resolve disputes arising under the subscription agreement in state or federal courts located in the State of Wyoming, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the agreement. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. You will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. This forum selection provision may limit your ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us. Although we believe the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Wyoming law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies and in limiting our litigation costs, to the extent it is enforceable, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes, may increase investors’ costs of bringing suit and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the Subscription Agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under the agreement. Investors in this offering will be bound by the Subscription Agreement, which includes a provision under which investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the Agreement, including any claims made under the federal securities laws. By signing the Agreement, the investor
14
warrants that the investor has reviewed this waiver with his or her legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives the investor’s jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel.
If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with the applicable state and federal law. To our knowledge, the enforceability of a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver in connection with claims arising under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by a federal court. However, we believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of Wyoming, which governs the Agreement, by a federal or state court in the State of Wyoming. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether the visibility of the jury trial waiver provision within an agreement is sufficiently prominent such that a party knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. We believe that this is the case with respect to the Subscription Agreement. You should consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the Subscription Agreement.
If you bring a claim against us in connection with matters arising under the agreement, including claims under the federal securities laws, you may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to those claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against us. If a lawsuit is brought against us under the Agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in such an action.
Nevertheless, if the jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the Agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation or provision of the Subscription Agreement serves as a waiver by any holder of our securities or by us of compliance with any substantive provision of the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated under those laws.
In addition, when the shares are transferred, the transferee is required to agree to all the same conditions, obligations, and restrictions applicable to the shares or to the transferor with regard to ownership of the shares, that were in effect immediately prior to the transfer of the shares, including but not limited to the Subscription Agreement.
Risks Related to COVID-19
Our operations could be adversely affected by renewed outbreaks of the COVID-19 virus or variants thereof. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has spread to many countries, including the United States, and was declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified, and the U.S., Europe, and Asia implemented severe travel restrictions and social distancing. The impacts of the outbreak are unknown and rapidly evolving. A widespread health crisis has adversely affected and could continue to affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could negatively impact the value of the Units and investor demand for our securities generally.
The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect its ability to access the capital markets in the future. It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could cause a further economic slowdown or recession or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
The extent to which COVID-19 affects our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has had and may continue to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and the Company’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic harms the global economy generally.
15
Actual or threatened epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks, or other public health crises may adversely affect our business. Our business could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to an epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, or other public health crisis, such as the recent outbreak of novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. The risk, or public perception of the risk, of a pandemic or media coverage of infectious diseases could adversely affect the value of our securities and the financial condition of our investors or prospective investors, resulting in reduced demand for the securities of the Company generally. “Shelter-in-place” or other such orders by governmental entities could also disrupt our operations, if employees, who cannot perform their responsibilities from home, are not able to report to work.
DILUTION
Dilution means a reduction in value, control, or earnings of the shares the investor owns.
Immediate dilution
An early-stage company typically sells its shares (or grants options over its shares) to its founders and early employees at a very low cash cost, because they are, in effect, putting their “sweat equity” into the company. When we seek cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new investors typically pay a much larger sum for their shares than the founders, early employees or earlier investors, which means that the cash value of your stake is diluted because all the shares are worth the same amount, and you paid more than earlier investors for your shares.
The following table compares the price that new investors are paying for their shares with the effective cash price paid by existing stockholders assuming that the shares are sold at $5.00 per share. The schedule presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all transactions since inception, which gives investors a better picture of what they will pay for their investment compared to our insiders than just including such transactions for the last 12 months, which is what the SEC requires.
The following table presents the approximate effective cash price paid for all shares and potential shares issuable by us as of September 30, 2021.

(2) Does not give effect to the 15% discount that certain investors may receive on the price paid per share. For details of the effective discount, see “Plan of Distribution and Selling Shareholders - Perks.”
(3) Reserved Shares includes 14,937,740 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 746,887 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2021.
(4) Does not include the issuance of up to 2,000,000 Units at a price of $5 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock, one Class A Warrant exercisable at $5.00 per share and one Class B Warrant exercisable at $10 per share in a private placement, or any other private placement the Company may engage in.
(5) Does not include options to purchase up to 8,819,133 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average price of $2.82 per share.
The following table illustrates the dilution that new investors will experience upon investment in the Company relative to existing holders of our securities. Because this calculation is based on our net tangible assets, we are calculating based on our net tangible book value of $4,471,361 as of September 30, 2021, as included in our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The offering costs assumed in the following table includes up to $120,000 in fees to Manhattan Street Capital for use of its platform, technology fees estimated to be 7% of the total amount raised as well as legal, accounting fees, Blue Sky fees, and Edgarization and other costs and incurred for this offering estimated at $200,000.
The table presents four scenarios for the convenience of the reader: a fully subscribed $50,000,000 raise from this Offering, a $37,500,000 raise from this Offering, a $25,000,000 raise from this Offering, and a $12,500,000 raise from this Offering. This table does not give effect to the 15% discount that certain investors may receive on the price paid per share. For details of the effective discount, see “Plan of Distribution and Selling Shareholders - Perks.”

Future dilution
Another important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that happens due to our future actions. The investor’s stake in a company could be diluted due to the company issuing additional shares. In other words, when we issue more shares, the percentage of the Company that you own will go down, even though the value of the Company may go up. You will own a smaller piece of a larger company. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, another crowdfunding round, a venture capital round, or an angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g. convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.
If we decide to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if we offer dividends, and most early-stage companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the Company).
The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors most occurs when a company sells more shares in a “down round,” meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings. An example of how this might occur is as follows (numbers are for illustrative purposes only):
| | |
|
|
|
| ● | In June 2020 Jane invests $20,000 for shares that represent 2% of a company valued at $1 million. |
| | |
|
|
|
| ● | In December 2020 the company is doing very well and sells $5 million in shares to venture capitalists on a valuation (before the new investment) of $10 million. Jane now owns only 1.3% of the company but her stake is worth $200,000. |
| | |
|
|
|
| ● | In June 2021 the company has run into serious problems, and in order to stay afloat it raises $1 million at a valuation of only $2 million (the “down round”). Jane now owns only 0.89% of the company and her stake is worth only $26,660. |
This type of dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued by early-stage companies provide that in the event of another round of financing, the holders of the convertible notes get to convert their notes into equity at a “discount” to the price paid by the new investors, i.e., they get more shares than the new investors would for the same price. Additionally, convertible notes may have a “price cap” on the conversion price, which effectively acts as a share price ceiling. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the financing is a “down round” the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, and even more than the new investors do, because they get more shares for their money. Investors should pay careful attention to the amount of convertible notes that the company has issued (and may issue in the future), and the terms of those notes.
If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of the Company or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it’s important to realize how the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by us. Dilution can cause drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.

Upon confirmation that an investor’s funds have cleared, we will instruct the Transfer Agent to issue shares to the investor. The Transfer Agent will notify an investor when shares are ready to be issued and the Transfer Agent has set up an account for the investor.
Each investor must represent in writing that he/she/it meets the applicable requirements set forth above and in the Subscription Agreement, including, among other things, that (i) he/she/it is purchasing the Common Stock for his/her/its own account and (ii) he/she/it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he/she/it is capable of evaluating without outside assistance the merits and risks of investing in the Common Stock, or he/she/it and his/her/its purchaser representative together have such knowledge and experience that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the Common Stock.

Investor suitability standards in certain states may be higher than those described in this Form 1-A and/or Offering Circular. These standards represent minimum suitability requirements for prospective investors, and the satisfaction of such standards does not necessarily mean that an investment in the Company is suitable for such persons. Different rules apply to accredited investors.
The Common Stock may not be offered, sold, transferred, or delivered, directly or indirectly, to any person who (i) is named on the list of “specially designated nationals” or “blocked persons” maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) at www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn or as otherwise published from time to time, (ii) an agency of the government of a Sanctioned Country, (iii) an organization controlled by a Sanctioned Country, or (iv) is a person residing in a Sanctioned Country, to the extent subject to a sanctions program administered by OFAC.

Perks
Certain investors in this offering are entitled to receive a 15% discount on the price paid per share, if they purchase at least 200,000 shares of Common Stock. This effectively reduces their per share price to $4.25 per share.
Selling Shareholders
Certain of our shareholders intend to sell up to 614,000 shares of Common Stock in this offering, not including shares that may be issued as perks. See “—Perks” above. Selling shareholders will participate in this Offering at the same time as the Company, selling no more than ten percent (10%) of the shares issued to investors at each closing. That means at each closing, one share will be sold by the selling shareholders for each nine shares sold by us, until all 614,000 shares have been sold by the selling shareholders.
Selling shareholders will participate on a modified pro rata basis, with sixteen shareholders, who are offering a total of 507,000 shares, comprising the first 200,000 shares being sold by selling shareholders, and thereafter all selling shareholders as a group will sell pro rata, which means that at each closing in which selling shareholders are participating, a shareholder will be able to sell its Pro Rata Portion of the shares that the shareholder is offering (as set forth in the table below) of the number of securities being issued to investors.
After qualification of the Offering Statement, the selling shareholders will enter into an irrevocable power of attorney (“POA”) with the Company and the CEO, as attorney-in-fact, in which they direct us and the attorney-in-fact to take the actions necessary in connection with the offering and sale of their shares. A form of the POA is filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

Provisions of Note in Our Subscription Agreement
Forum Selection Provision
The Subscription Agreement that investors will execute in connection with the Offering includes a forum selection provision that requires any claims against us based on the Agreement to be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Wyoming, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the Agreement. Although we believe the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Wyoming law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies and in limiting our litigation costs, to the extent it is enforceable, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. We have adopted this provision to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows its officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to any particular forum so they may continue to focus on our operations. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Investors will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Jury Trial Waiver
The Subscription Agreement that investors will execute in connection with the Offering provides that subscribers waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the Agreement, including any claim under federal securities laws. By signing the Subscription Agreement, an investor will warrant that the investor has reviewed this waiver with the investor’s legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives his or her jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel. If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable given the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law. In addition, by agreeing to the provision, subscribers will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The Use of Proceeds is an estimate based on our current business plan. A portion of the proceeds from this Offering may ultimately be used to compensate or otherwise make payments to our officers or directors or our consultants, several of which are also major shareholders. Our officers and directors may be paid salaries and receive benefits that are commensurate with similar companies, and a portion of the proceeds from this offering may be used to pay these ongoing business expenses
Assuming a maximum raise of $50,000,000, (and assuming no shares are issued as perks, see “Plan of Distribution and Selling Shareholders - Perks”), the net proceeds of this offering would be approximately $46,180,000 after subtracting sales by selling shareholders, estimated offering costs of $120,000 in advisory fees payable to Manhattan Street Capital, as well as 7% in transaction fees as set forth under the caption “Plan of Distribution and Selling Shareholders” above of $3,500,000, and $200,000 in legal, accounting and other fixed costs of the offering.

OUR BUSINESS
Corporate History
GATC Health Corp (“we”, or “the Company”) was incorporated in Wyoming on May 16, 2020. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, GATC Rx, which developed our Viral Immunity Platform™ (“VIP”), is currently inactive, and we acquired the shares owned by the minority stockholders of GATC Rx via the issuance of 2,431,000 shares of our Common Stock on August 12, 2021.
We enhance the creation of highly effective treatments through enabling multiple levels of increased efficiency in target discovery, drug discovery and asset risk reduction. We analyze individual human genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes and other biological markers described below through proprietary technology we call Multiomic Advanced Technology™ (“MAT”) and then use the aggregation of individual data obtained to construct functional extensions of the GATC platform which we call engines (“Engines”) to predict an individual’s predisposition to specific diseases or syndrome (“Predictive Multiomics™). We have also developed AI, applied to our unique ability to analyze these data point for the use of diagnostic biomarker discovery, drug compound discovery, and finally, clinical de-risking of drug compounds. We believe that our unique approach permits us to traverse these processes in a matter of months, as opposed to years, and for dramatically less cost than other methodologies. To date we have identified a molecule for the treatment of addictive behavior with the application of this technology.
The foundations of MAT were developed by an unaffiliated company, Frélii, Inc. (“Frélii”) and pursuant to a License Agreement dated July 7, 2019, the technology underlying MAT was assigned to GATC Naturals Corp, formerly known as GATC Canna Corp (“GATC Naturals”), a company under common control with our management. Pursuant to an Intellectual Property Asset Purchase Agreement, GATC Naturals transferred these intellectual property rights to us on July 24, 2020 in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and a license back to GATC Naturals for the rights to use MAT in cannabis-related genomic analysis. In connection therewith, on July 24, 2020, Frélii transferred the patent rights for MAT to us pursuant to an Assignment agreement. Under these agreements, we are required to pay Frélii a 3% royalty on gross revenues related to the technology.
Interpreting the Human Code
The human code is a large array of patterns seen across all of the dynamic reactions in the human body. This code starts from our most condensed instruction set in the nucleus of every human cell The instruction set for all living cells is encoded in deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. The complete set of DNA for any organism is referred to as its genome. DNA contains small regions called genes, which comprise a string of nucleotide bases labeled A, C, G, and T, representing adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine, respectively. These nucleotide bases occur in a precise order known as the DNA sequence. When a gene is “expressed,” a copy of a portion of its DNA sequence called messenger RNA (mRNA) is used as a template to direct the synthesis of a particular protein. Proteins, in turn, direct cellular function. Variations among organisms are due, in large part, to differences in their DNA sequences. Changes can result from insertions, deletions, inversions, translocations, or duplications of nucleotide bases. These changes may result in certain genes becoming overexpressed (excessive protein production), under-expressed (reduced protein production), or silenced altogether, sometimes triggering changes in cellular function. Each human body is also host to about 100 trillion bacteria and viruses, which also impact genetic expression. The most common form of variation in humans is called a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), which is a base change in a single position in a DNA sequence. Another type of variation, copy number variations (CNVs), occur when there are fewer or more copies of certain genes, segments of a gene, or stretches of DNA. Environmental influences, such as a person’s diet and exposure to pollutants, can modify the expression of DNA (known as epigenetics), without changing it. Epigenetic modifications can be maintained from cell to cell as cells divide and, in some cases, can be inherited.
In humans, genetic variation and patterns in genetic expression accounts for nearly all of the physical differences we see (e.g., height, hair, eye color, etc.). Variations in genetic expression also can have medical consequences affecting disease susceptibility, including predisposition to complex genetic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. They can affect individuals’ response to certain drug treatments, causing them to respond well, experience adverse side effects, or not respond at all.
24
The current state of genetics knowledge generally does not allow scientists, with rare exceptions such as Down’s Syndrome (and a few competitors which have located genetic markers for certain cancers) to directly interpret DNA for the specific individual’s predisposition to disease or other physical characteristics. Nearly all commercially available genetic testing utilizes a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and micro-array technology from buccal (mouth) swab kits, which is used to estimate the individual’s genome. The typical commercial analysis employed by most of our competitors analyses from 400,000 to 650,000 genetic “markers” and attempts to estimate those portions of the genome which have been determined, with varying levels of confidence, to have significance. The more accurate method of obtaining DNA and in many cases the epigenetic data which is employed by GATC is called Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). Sequencing is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence-– the order of nucleotides in DNA, RNA, or proteins. Sequencing is followed by “alignment,” which is a way of arranging the sequences of DNA, RNA, or protein to identify regions of similarity that may be a consequence of functional, structural, or evolutionary relationships between the sequences Using the proprietary algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) comprising Multiomic Advanced Technology™, we are able to align and analyze all of the 6.4 billion nucleotides in the human genome—up to 8,000 times more than the typical genetic test-in minutes, not hours or days of computing time. This makes a more robust and accurate analytical method commercially viable and paves the way for mass adoption of a better form of testing.
Noted, that because human chromosomes exist in pairs that are almost identical, it is commonly understood that only 3.2 billion nucleotide pairs (the haploid genome) need to be sequenced to gain complete information concerning a representative human genome. However, since MAT is capable of a complete analysis of the entire genome including broad patterns of expression, we align and analyze all 6.4 billion data points for maximum accuracy.
MAT is not limited to analysis of the human genome or relegated to the lens of genetic expression. It is also capable of analyzing the individual’s multiomic data from multiple data types and vantage points. Multiomics is part of a revolution in science and medicine birthed by groundbreaking scientific advancements over the past 20 years in the development of equipment capable of more robust molecular detection. Multiomics consists in analyzing not only the human genome, but other “omics,” including transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics (proteins), metabolomics (metabolites) and even viromes (virus interaction inside of the body). The GATC platform enables our drug development partners to integrate different molecular data sets in a standardized and meaningful way. This multi-layered approach to biology is adding essential context and directed molecular reaction data to phenotypes and interventions which power innovation in treatment and drug discovery. Ultimately these robust computational strategies and machine learning capabilities are illuminating new biomarkers and drug targets to advance precision medicine making these therapies safer, faster and more effective.
Industry Overview and GATC Health’s Vision
Since 2021, we have expanded our AI-assisted genomic and multiomic technology to include drug discovery, drug validation and efficacy prediction, and pre-clinical de-risking of proposed pharmaceutical compounds. We believe that this segment of our business has the potential to revolutionize the drug development industry. The average R&D cost for development of a new drug is $2.6 billion, according to the Pharmaceutical Researchers and Manufacturers of America, with a range from about $161 million to $4.54 billion. As a result, the industry has begun to employ AI to narrow down the field of potential molecules. To our knowledge, existing technologies are able to identify a field of about 1,000 potential molecules for evaluation, and then require about three years to refine that pool down to a few candidates. With our AI technology, we were able to identify a drug for the treatment of addictive behaviors within two months. In effect, we believe that our proprietary AI technology can reduce total drug discovery time by 20% or more. AI can also assist in repurposing existing drugs for other conditions.
The employment of AI has enabled some market participants to significantly reduce the time and cost of initial molecule screening, which is the first step in the drug development process. By 2021, every major pharmaceutical company had begun to employ AI, mostly through collaboration with a small group of companies in the AI analytics business such as GATC Health.
Our disease prediction and prevention business is part of the global genetic testing market, which is estimated to be approximately $13 billion, growing to over $21 billion by 2027. (Source: Global Genetic Testing Market, Opportunities and Forecast, 2020-2027, by Allied Market Research). North America comprises 58% of that market.
25
We believe that rising awareness of the genetic causes of disease, the growth in personalized medical care in the United States, the prospect of increasing health care costs, especially for conditions which appear to be preventable, and the growing acceptance of genetic testing services are the primary factors driving growth in the industry.
We believe that DNA is the key to improved health in that it facilitates:
·
·
Personalized medical analysis·
·
Reporting for self-diagnosis, health planning and longevity
·
Assistance to medical professionals in approaches for better patient outcomes
·
Identification of root cause and disease pathology
·
Prescreening clinical trial participants for predictive outcomes and anomalies
·
Assistance in creation of new drugs and therapeutic solutions
·
Repurposing existing drugs for alternate or off label applications
Our Business
GATC Health believes that its Predictive Multiomics™ positions us as the global leader in AI-assisted drug discovery and development, as well in in the development of predictive models of human health, providing insight into personal health and wellness by looking beyond the genome.
Our initial drug development project involves the discovery and future development of a drug compound for the treatment of addiction. We have filed a provisional patent application covering this potential drug molecule, and in the next six months, anticipate conducting AI-directed in-vitro and animal studies as the first part of the FDA approval process. We are in discussions with a third party for performance of the animal studies. Following successful completion of animal studies, we plan to begin human clinical trials on the molecule. As with any potential new drug, the costs and time required, and eventual success, cannot be predicted. We might license the molecule to a larger pharmaceutical company during or upon the conclusion of animal testing.
Currently, we plan to continue identify additional biomarkers leading to the discovery of other drug compounds, but we expect that we will primarily not develop drug compounds for our own development, but rather on a contract basis to larger, more established companies in the industry. We may charge a flat fee for our services, a royalty or combination of fee and royalty participation.
We expect to devote approximately 25% of the proceeds of this offering to research and development expenses related to our drug discovery AI, but, depending on the success of this technology and its acceptance by potential pharmaceutical clients, this percentage could materially increase.
We currently have developed five customized genetic analysis Engines. The first is a health and wellness platform, which enables patients to maximize health and wellness by following their genetically-specific diet, exercise and lifestyle prescriptions. Through GATC Naturals, which is has some management and shareholders in common with us, we have developed an Engine to assist medical professionals in prescribing the appropriate cannabis-based medications. Most recently, our Viral Immunity Platform™ (“VIP”) predicts susceptibility to COVID-19. VIP is readily customizable for other viral infections such as influenza. We have also developed an Engine for depressive/anxiety conditions and one for cardiovascular health conditions. A substantial portion of the proceeds of this offering, approximately 25%, is expected to be expended for the research and development expenses related to Engine development.
26
Engines are developed for the early detection of pecific diseases or conditions, or to guide medical professionals in the most efficacious use of a specific treatment per individual. It usually takes us three to four months to develop a marketable version of an Engine. Each Engine utilizes proprietary algorithms to analyze test results from individual’s DNA and multiomic data, their medical histories and the Company’s extensive databases. The results of each Engine’s analyses are actionable reports regarding an individual’s risk of a certain disease or best application of a specific treatment. We earn fees by generating these reports and we also use results to continually train and improve our analytical algorithms.
We plan to generate revenue from Predictive Multiomics™ through the alignment and analysis of test kits collected by our licensees, using MAT’s proprietary algorithms. The total retail price for the test kit and analysis may vary, but the fee for our analysis is generally about $70. To date we have only realized nominal revenues through one contract with Systemic Formulas, which provides us with a flat fee of $39 for each analysis. We plan to sell reports generated by our Engines, which rely on MAT™ and Predictive Multiomics™, through channel partners, value added reseller and licensees. We may receive a flat fee, license fee and/or revenue-sharing basis, as negotiated.
Licensing and Service Agreements
As of May 2021, we have licensed MAT to the following entities:
On March 23, 2021 we and GATC DB Care Corp (“GATC DB”) entered into a licensing agreement related to Type I and Type II diabetes. Pursuant to that licensing agreement GATC DB pays us a 7% royalty on net sales. The licensing agreement is perpetual. We and GATC DB each have the right to the data generated by the Engine development and subsequent testing of individuals. GATC DB is required to fund all the costs of developing the Engine.
On July 24, 2020, the Company and GATC Naturals entered into a licensing agreement, pursuant to which GATC Naturals is required to pay the Company 80% of GATC Naturals’s gross revenues. The licensing agreement is perpetual. GATC Naturals’ Engine is marketed to assist medical professionals in recommending the use of specific cannabis products such as CBD to optimize health and wellness. In January 2022 we entered into a development agreement with respect to a psylocibin Engine for Self Health America Corp. on behalf of GATC Naturals. GATC Naturals and Self Health America Corp. have entered into service agreement pursuant to which the latter will have the exclusive North America rights to results from the psylocibin Engine, subject to minimum annual payments to GATC Naturals.
As part of our-going business plan, several other licensing or service agreements are being negotiated at this time. Further, we have not commenced marketing our Viral Immunity Platform as of the date of this Offering Circular.
As of December 31, 2021 we have entered into servicing agreements in connection with our Depressive/Anxiety Engine and Health and Wellness Engine to two unrelated parties, Allergy Butler and Systemic Formulas
Our contract with Allergy Butler is for of a report related to depression and anxiety. The Service Agreement, dated February 2021, has a term of three years, and is under revision at this time to update the parameters of the report. Data is jointly owned by us and Allergy Butler. We understand that Allergy Butler retails this report for $465, and we would receive a portion of that amount for our analysis.
The Master License and Services Agreement with Systemic Formulas is dated October 19, 2019 and was included in the Frélii technology transfer.. This agreement is for a term of one year, renewable annually, and provides for a payment of $39 for our AI analysis to produce a Health and Wellness report tailored to the use of supplements/nutraceuticals. Under the Systemic agreement, we have no responsibilities other than to perform the final AI analysis on the Systemic product.
Supplier
Our licensees and white label customers currently rely on Gene by Gene, Ltd. as their supplier of swab test kits and DNA sequencing. There are a number of alternate suppliers available and we do not anticipate that the loss of this supplier will cause more than a transitory disruption in our business.
Marketing
We plan to market our drug discovery, drug validation and efficacy prediction, and pre-clinical de-risking of proposed pharmaceutical compounds directly to pharmaceutical companies. We believe that our marketing efforts will be greatly facilitated as we validate our technology through the planned pre-clinical trials of our patent-pending addiction molecule.
We plan to develop specific, targeted Engines for additional medical conditions in collaboration with medical practitioners and academics. The production and shipping of test kits and the initial sequencing of test kits is performed by a third-party laboratory under contract with our licensees. The arrangement of test kits and initial sequencing will be the responsibility of our customers; our predictive genomic analysis business is based solely on Engine development on a contract basis and service or license fees.
Engines under Development
A diabetes Engine is being developed by an affiliated entity, GATC DB, and we are in negotiations with several unrelated parties for the development of other Engines. We are also currently developing Alzheimer's and cardiac Engines, and a psylocibin Engine on behalf of GATC Naturals, In the near future, we intend, with the proceeds of this offering, to develop Engines for one or more of the most common varieties of cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, in 2020, an estimated 1,806,590 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in 2020 and 606,520 individuals will die from cancer. The most common cancers, in descending order, are breast cancer, lung and bronchus cancer, prostate cancer, colon and rectum cancer, melanoma of the skin, bladder cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, kidney and renal pelvis cancer, endometrial cancer, leukemia, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, and liver cancer. The National Institute on Aging estimates that over 5.5 million Americans may have dementia caused by Alzheimer’s.
We believe that if we are successful in developing and marketing a wide range of Engines, and collect data on a larger number (one million or more) of individual genomes we will be able to use that data for greater understanding of the human genome and the prevention of disease in general. Our goal is to build the most comprehensive and accurate database of the human genome as it relates to disease prevention and tailored therapies. We also utilize publicly available genomic datasets as well as those provided by our partners. To date, we have amassed genomic data from hundreds of thousands of individuals. Our database, in conjunction with the publicly available data sets, is an integral part of our drug discovery and development business.
In December, 2020, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Liquid Biosciences, Inc. (“Liquid Biosciences”) to (i) identify mutually agreeable market opportunities associated with one or more specific diseases, and (ii) to agree on commercial exploitation of that market opportunity. As of the date of this Offering Circular, Liquid Biosciences has identified several biomarkers related to specific diseases and it is discussing potential joint ventures with the Company at this time. One of those biomarkers is the subject of our recent addiction patent application.
Competition
There are a number of companies which offer genetic testing for discrete illnesses, with the most common tests being for cancer or related syndromes. These tests are ordered by medical practitioners and cost about $300 to $500; most if not all are covered by insurance. We believe that MAT, if applied to these fields, will be more accurate than competitive tests. We believe that we have a competitive advantage in this segment because we are able to analyze the entire genome, as well as other relevant “omics,” and because of our sophisticated AI-based analysis.
27
Our AI-based drug discovery technology faces competition from a number of companies, including the largest pharmaceutical enterprises in the world in partnership with technology companies. The largest competitors include Atomwise, Valo Health, Insilico Medicine, Cyto Reason, Insitro, and Schrödinger, We believe that we can compete effectively because of our broad focus on multiomics effectively replicates complex human biological systems, our extensive expertise with the human genome assists us with biomarker discovery, our advanced AI technology, which is based not only on the traditional machine learning employed by a majority of our competitors, but also Deep Learning (which is better adapted to data analysis), and Bayesian networks (utilizing probability analysis) and other proprietary methodologies that result in the identification of non-obvious targets.
Nevertheless, in both the genetic analysis and AI-assisted drug discovery and development businesses, most of our competitors are better established and better capitalized than we are. We may not have sufficient management and financial resources to compete with all or even most of competitors, and if appropriate, we may license our technology to them to increase market penetration in a short period of time. Nevertheless, we may not be able to compete with all or even a substantial percentage of competing technologies and product offerings in the industry.
Employees
We have 11 full-time employees and no part-time employees. In addition, eight of our officers who devote all their professional time to the Company are currently paid via consulting agreements. In October 2021, we entered into a contract with Hypereon Labs, Inc., through our shareholder Evolutionary Analytics, LLC, for the provision of AI consulting personnel. We expect to hire additional individuals for our research and development activities from the proceeds of this offering.
Intellectual Property
We own intellectual property, including patent applications and trade secrets acquired from Frélii, Inc. and GATC Naturals on July 24, 2020, as well as rights to Patent Application 2021/0104322 published on April 8, 2021, Personal Wellness Recommendation Engine, originally patent application 16/938,791 filed on July 20, 2020.
We have continued to augment our patent estate in correlation with the development of additional Engines. In October 2021, we filed provisional patent applications for cannabis usage, psylocibin-based treatments, cardiovascular health supplements, mental depressive disorders, and on immunity analysis in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We filed an additional provisional patent in December 2021 for a molecule for treatment of addiction and neurological disorders. Under law, the filing of a provisional patent application, while not examined by the USPTO, preserves the filing date therein provided that a more complete, non-provisional patent application is filed within twelve months. We are continually developing its intellectual property estate and expects to file additional patent applications in the near future.
We use the trademarks Viral Immunity Platform™, Multiomics Advanced Technology™, and Predictive Multiomics™. We have filed a trademark application for Predictive Multiomics™ on February 10, 2021, serial number 90522861, international class 042, computer programming in the medical field, and for Multiomics Advanced Technology™ on May 24, 2021, serial number 90731205, international class 009, Computer and Software Products and Electrical and Scientific Products, and for Viral Immunity Platform™ on May 24, 2021, serial number 9073122, international class 009, Computer and Software Products and Electrical and Scientific Products.
Regulation
The genetic testing field is relatively new, and subject to only limited regulation. We are not subject to any current regulation, although parties with whom we contract may be so subject. Laboratories which conduct genetic sequencing are subject to the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments Act of 1988, which establish the certification process laboratories must pass in order to legally conduct clinical testing. The objective of CLIA is to determine clinical testing quality, including verification of the procedures used and the qualifications of the technicians processing the tests.
28
The Genetic Information and Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) protects the genetic privacy of the public, including research participants. The passage of GINA makes it illegal for health insurers or employers from requesting or requiring genetic information of an individual or of family members and further prohibits the discriminatory use of such information. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule protects the confidentiality of patients’ individually identifiable health information — or Protected Health Information (PHI) — that HIPAA-covered entities (e.g., health care providers or an insurance company) hold. There are limits on when and with whom PHI may be shared, but there are no such restrictions on the use or disclosure of PHI that has been de-identified. In 2013, as required by the passage of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, the Privacy Rule was modified to establish that genetic information is considered PHI, and HIPAA-covered entities may not use or disclose PHI that is genetic information for underwriting purposes.
The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) regulations include federal standards applicable to all U.S. facilities or sites that test human specimens for health assessment or to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease. All laboratory facilities used by us or our licensees are CLIA compliant.
We are not covered by the above regulations at this time. In addition to HIPAA, the Common Rule, formally known as the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, also requires informed consent from individuals who participate in medical research projects. We, or persons with whom we contract for the collection of genomic data may be subject to these rules on informed consent. The Company uses reasonable care to protect individual patient confidentiality by requiring that all date provided to it is subject to de-identification protocols; as a result, we never receive any data subject to privacy concerns.
Litigation
We have not been a party to any litigation.
OUR PROPERTY
Until August 1, 2021, we subleased approximately 2,500 square feet of office space on a month-to-month basis in a modern office building from ONIT Sciences, Inc., a company under common control with some members of management, and also reimbursed ONIT for health insurance premiums of approximately $4,500 per month paid by ONIT on behalf of certain of our consultants as part of their agreements. The total monthly payments to ONIT for the sublease and the health insurance weres $15,000 per month. The lease rate per square foot of $4.00 was believed to be equivalent to the rate we would be required to pay to an unrelated party for a similar subleasing arrangement. Effective August 1, 2021, we entered into a twenty-six month lease for the same premises directly with the owner of the building, for $3.15 per month increasing to $3.34 per month over the lease term.
In July 2021, we commenced renting 150 square feet of office space in the same building, discussed in the preceding paragraph, for $1,300 per month from an unaffiliated party.
Most of our technical and scientific staff currently work remotely. We anticipate that in the future it may be required to lease a limited amount of office space in the future for its technical and scientific.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements and financial condition of GATC Health Corp and results of our operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this Offering Circular. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Offering Circular.
Overview
We are engaged in the business of providing products and services for the gathering of human genome DNA, sequencing, and processing that sequence through artificial intelligence. We have developed several platforms, or “engines,” to apply our AI technology to various health conditions, including general health and wellness evaluations, viral immunity, heart attacks, and mental health, and are developing additional engines at this time. We have recently begun to expand our capabilities to include AI-assisted drug discovery and development. We were incorporated on May 16, 2020, and commenced operations shortly thereafter. Our viral immunity engine was developed through our majority-owned subsidiary, GATC Rx Corp; we acquired the minority interest in GATC Rx in August 2021. We have generated limited revenues to date and are still in the research and development stage of our business.
Revision to Financial Statements for the Period May 16, 2020 (Inception) to December 31, 2020
We revised our Financial Statements for the period May 16, 2020 (Inception) to December 31, 2020, and these revisions have been reflected in this Offering Circular in the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date on page F-4 and the Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity on page F-6. The revisions primarily consisted of the following: (a) reclassifying approximately $109,000 of the $268,200 in capitalized software development costs to expense; (b) transferring $686,250 in 8% mandatorily convertible debentures from equity to debt; and (c) a reduction of deferred offering costs by the amount attributable to the costs of auditing the 2020 financial statements. As a result, the net loss for the period May 16, 2020 (Inception) to December 31, 2020 increased from $1,062,083 to $1,246,974. The revisions are as follows:

Operating Results
The Company generated $2,430 gross revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was derived from the Systemic Formulas contract. In the period May 16, 2020 (Inception) to December 31, 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”) revenues from Systemic Formulas was $12,000.
Cost of Revenue
There are no costs of revenues associated with our contract with Systemic Resources, under which we are paid a flat fee for alignment and analysis.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included $9,869,822 of compensation expense, primarily paid to outside consultants and to officers, compared to $401,342 for the period May 16, 2020 (Inception) to September 30, 2020; research and development expenses of $378,614, compared to $11,450 for the period May 16, 2020 (Inception) to September 30, 2020; marketing expenses of $92,656 compared to $2,284 for the period May 16, 2020 (Inception) to September 30, 2020; and general and administrative expenses of $1,035,136 for the 2021 period compared to 2020. Stock and options issued for services have been calculated based on the number of shares or options issued for services in the period, multiplied by $1.875, the conversion rate per share of the Company’s 8% mandatorily convertible debentures issued from October 2020 to August 2021. The above amount for research and development expenses does not include $152,096 in software development costs incurred during this period which were capitalized in accordance with ASC 350-40 “Internal-Use Software” and ASC 350-985 “Software” because these development costs relate to modules for new products whose technological feasibility has been established.

Operating expenses during Fiscal 2020 included $819,763 of compensation expense, primarily paid to outside consultants and to officers; research and development expenses of $63,500; marketing expenses of $6,736; and general and administrative expenses of $302,864. Stock and options issued for services have been calculated based on the number of shares or options issued for services in the period, multiplied by $1.875, the conversion rate per share of the Company’s 8% mandatorily convertible debentures issued from October 2020 to August 2021. The above amount for research and development expenses does not include $108,538 in software development costs incurred during this period which were capitalized in accordance with ASC 350-40 “Internal-Use Software” and ASC 350-985 “Software” because these development costs relate to modules for new products whose technological feasibility has been established.
Interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was comprised of $208,316 of accrued interest on Convertible Debentures. These Convertible Debentures were mandatorily convertible into shares of Common Stock at the lower of $1.875 per share or 75% of the offering price of any subsequent equity offering in which no less than $1 million has been raised, and were converted into common stock in September 2021 at a price of $1.875 per share. An additional $3,032,558 in interest costs represent the amortized debt issuance costs relating to the $3,644,915 of Convertible Debentures issued through September 30, 2021. The amount of interest expense for the 2020 period was nominal since no Debentures had been issued as of September 30, 2020.
Interest expense of $9,301 during Fiscal 2020 was primarily comprised of $7,870 of accrued interest on our Convertible Debentures. An additional $20,310 in interest costs represent the amortized debt issuance costs relating to the $676,250 of Convertible Debentures issued through December 31, 2020.
Net loss
As a result of the foregoing, net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $14,617,915. This compares to a net loss of $522,290 for the period May 16, 2020 (Inception) to September 30, 2020, which includes $130,078 for net losses attributed to the non-controlling stockholders of GATC Rx, of which the Company owned 63.4% of the common stock at that date. We acquired the minority interest in GATC Rx in August 2021. Net loss for Fiscal 2020 was $1,210,479, which includes $142,157 attributed to the non-controlling stockholders of GATC Rx.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash on hand of $4,269,466. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash flows used in operating activities was $2,623,808, cash was provided by financing activities of $6,845,438, and cash of $165,655 was used in investing activities, consisting of capitalized software development costs of $152,094 and purchases of $13,561 in property.

During Fiscal 2020, net cash flows used in operating activities was $783,862, cash was provided by financing activities of $917,969, and cash of $115,733 was used in investing activities, consisting of capitalized software development costs of $108,488 and purchases of $7,245 in property.
On October 23, 2020, the Company commenced a private placement to raise up to $5 million. On August 25, 2021, the Company increased the maximum offering amount to $10,400,000. The private placement raised funds through the issuance of 8% Convertible Debentures. This private placement closed on September 9, 2021, with the sale of $10,367,882 in gross principal amount of Convertible Debentures.
In September 2021, the Company raised $1,698,570 in gross proceeds from the sale of 490,127 shares of Common Stock in a private placement pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D at a price of $3.75 per share; the subscription price for 306,179 shares was received by the Company following the end of the September 2020 quarter. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Debenture, the $1 million in sales of Common Stock through September 21, 2021 triggered conversion of the principal amount of the Debentures, which together with $216,333 in accrued interest converted into 5,644,915 shares of Common Stock. In December 2021, we commenced a private offering of Units under Rule 506(c) limited to accredited investors, at $5 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock, one Class A Warrant exercisable at $5 and one Class B Warrant exercisable at $10. We expect that the net proceeds of this Offering, combined with the foregoing private offerings of debt and equity and other private offerings, will satisfy our cash requirements for the next 18 to 24 months.
In order to continue as a going concern after that time, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations we may need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through borrowings and the sale of Common Stock.
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 us. Even if we are 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 an equity financing.

Plan of Operation
The Company currently has four new Engines in development, including an Engine for diabetes being developed for our affiliate GATC DB Care. We plan to launch one new Engine development project every two months, with each project requiring, on an average, 90 days to develop. The Engines under development require the third party to pay the majority of costs associated with development.
Concurrently with the development of these and future Engines, and the development of our proprietary AI-assisted drug development technology, our scientific and technical staff are refining and expanding our intellectual property estate. We have contracted with an outside AI firm to supply additional personnel over a period of 12 months ending October 2022. We expect to file an additional patent application within the next twelve months. We are in discussions with several outside parties for additional Engine development projects.
With the receipt of the proceeds of this Offering, we intend to greatly expand our scientific and technical staff. Because of the highly specialized and unique nature of our technology, we must expend a significant amount of training time with each new member of our scientific and technical staff. To date, we have been able to fully staff all projects, but the receipt of proceeds of this Offering will enable us to accelerate our developmental timeline as well as engage in the development of new business via marketing and seeking for governmental grants, primarily related to minority communities with their specialized health issues. Our revenue is expected to be derived primarily from developmental fees for various Engines, and, when marketing of those Engines and their related testing regimes is successful (of which there can be no assurance) from servicing or license fees, and from royalties or sales of the results of our AI-assisted drug discovery business.
We intend to use a portion of the proceeds of this Offering to hire a permanent Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer with public company and/or industry experience, and expand our general and administrative staff to support our expanded operations. We foresee that the growth in our staff will likely require us to seek new office space and we will need to expand our internal infrastructure. Although the genetic data we obtain is de-identified, we consider cyber security to be of the utmost importance, and plan to obtain, either via contract or through internal staff, the highest level of cyber security we can, given financial and technological constraints.
We also intend to acquire one or more companies in the genomic business who we believe can, by virtue of their technological expertise or existing market presence, enable us to expand our product offerings and market penetration. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we are not in discussions with any acquisition target.

Our goal is to become the leading company in the world in the use of genomics to prevent and treat disease. Eventually, we hope to assemble a comprehensive genomic database which is the best or a leading contender in providing understanding of the human genome.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company has achieved the following milestones:
·
Patented our technology.
·
Developed or developing six Engines.
·
Assembled a team of scientific advisors and technical staff which prepares us for growth.
·
Raised funds to launch our business.
·
Discovered one new drug molecule for the treatment of addiction disorders, using our AI-assisted drug technology.
As part of its plan of operations, the Company intends to execute the following milestones over the course of the next 12 months:
·
Research and Development
o
Develop up to 10 more Engines.
o
Build our technical and scientific staff to enable us to expand our products.
o
Discover 3 to 5 new drug molecules.
·
Marketing
o
Obtain strategic alliances or marketing partnerships for our Engines.
o
Establish GATC Health’s standing in the genomics community as one of the businesses in the forefront of the industry.
o
Obtain grants to assist research into diseases from which minority or underserved communities suffer.
We envision that if we are successful in developing and marketing a wide range of Engines, and collect data on a large number (one million or more) of individual genomes lion or more) we will be able to use that data for greater understanding of the human genome and the prevention of disease in general. Our goal is to build the most comprehensive and accurate database of the human genome as it relates to disease prevention and tailored therapies.
Trend Information
The Global DNA sequencing market is expected to witness significant huge growth in the coming years. Certain factors that are driving the market growth include the rise in technological advancements in DNA sequencing, increasing application in clinical diagnosis and drug discovery, and growing investment in research and development. The COVID-19 pandemic has focused public attention on the importance of preventing pandemics as well as the prevention and cure of chronic diseases which share co-morbidities with COVID-19, such as diabetes, obesity, asthma, and respiratory conditions.
Another factor driving the market in which we engage is the ever-increasing cost of health care, together with the emphasis on preventative care. We believe that these costs, which overwhelmingly fall upon employers and their health care plans, provide us with an opportunity to market our diagnostic engines to business and governmental employers alike.

Following the completion of this Offering, the Board of Directors intends to develop a structure to re-evaluate compensation levels, after seeking input from one or more outside compensation consultants. In addition, Messrs. Stroh and Locke are serving in an interim capacity.
Following completion of this Offering, the Board of Directors intends to recruit two highly-qualified individuals, preferably with public company experience, to fill the chief executive and chief financial officer positions. It is likely that the Board of Directors will also add two additional independent directors to its board.

Relaxed Ongoing Reporting Requirements
If we become a public reporting company in the future, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to herein as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including but not limited to:
| | |
|
|
| ● | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
| | |
|
|
|
| ● | taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards; |
| | |
|
|
|
| ● | being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and |
| | |
|
|
|
| ● | being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
If we become a public reporting company in the future, we expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until it is no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31.
If we do not become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act for any reason, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semi-annual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer’s fiscal year, and semi-annual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year.
In either case, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” and its stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
January 9, 2022
To: Board of Directors, GATC HEALTH CORPORATION
Re: 2020(YE) Consolidated Financial Statement Audit
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of GATC HEALTH CORPORATION (a corporation organized in Wyoming) and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity/deficit, and cash flows for the inception period of May 16, 2020 through December 31, 2020, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the consolidated results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity/deficit and cash flows for the inception period of May 16, 2020 through December 31, 2020 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
F-2
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the Notes to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans regarding these matters are also described in the Notes to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Sincerely,

GATC HEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEE ACCOMPANYING INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD INCEPTION (MAY 16, 2021) TO DECEMBER 31, 2020
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
GATC Health Corp., a Wyoming corporation incorporated on May 16, 2020, is engaged in the business of providing products and services for the gathering of human genome DNA, sequencing, and processing that sequence through artificial intelligence. The Company has one majority-owned subsidiary, GATC Rx Corp; the parent is currently seeking to acquire the 36.6% of minority interests in exchange for its common stock. Collectively, GATC Health Corp. and GATC Rx Corp. are referred to as the “Company”.
Since inception, the Company relied on external fund raising to fund its business. The Company has an accumulated deficit in earnings since inception. These matters raise substantial concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern once funds raised from investors have been exhausted. These financial statements and related notes thereto do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reclassification
Certain items have been reclassified in the December 31, 2020 balance sheet to conform with the presentation for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and also to classify certain items. The principal items are as follows:
$268,000 of software development costs were capitalized; the revised amount is $107,633, with the balance of such costs being expensed.
$32,500 of accounting and legal costs were classified as deferred offering costs; $7,500 of such costs were expensed as not directly related to the Company’s Regulation A Offering.
Our Mandatorily Convertible Debentures were classified as a separate equity line item, and have been classified as long term debt, net of issuance costs.
These reclassifications and other revisions increased the Company’s net loss for the period to increase from $1,062,083 to $1,210,479, and reduced GATC Health stockholders’ equity from $237,864 to $(329,784).
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GATC Health Corp. and its majority-owned subsidiary. Non-controlling interests in net income or losses, and net equity are reported in amounts that reflect the non-controlling party(s) percentage ownership in the subsidiary. The effect of intercompany balances and transactions has been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as of January 1, 2019 (the “transition date”) using the full retrospective method. There was no transition adjustment recorded upon the adoption of ASC 606. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
F-8
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $18,374 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company does maintain cash balances in banking institutions in excess of federally insured amounts and therefore is exposed to the related potential credit risk associated with such cash deposits.
Income tax
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and the State of California. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” we provide for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not.
Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include among others, the fair value of shares of common stock issued for services. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are determined using authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, with the exception of the application of the guidance to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities as permitted. Fair value is defined in the authoritative guidance as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company's assumptions.
The Company is required to use observable market data if available without undue cost and effort.
The Company’s financial instruments include accounts payable. Management has estimated that the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature.
F-9
Loss Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and issuable during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and all common equivalent shares outstanding during the period in which they are dilutive. For the period May 16, 2020 (Inception) to December 31, 2020, the weighted average common shares outstanding was 11,624,939. There were no potentially dilutive shares as of any period presented because the Company had no net profit.
Stock-Based Compensation
Pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may issue stock instruments, including shares of its common stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), stock options, and warrants to purchase shares of its common stock to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option awards issued and vesting to employees in accordance with authorization guidance of the FASB whereas the value of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock vest and expire according to the terms established at the grant date.
The Company accounts for stock options and warrant grants issued and vesting to non- employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. As of the periods presented, there were no awards issued under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs of $6,736 were incurred from May 16, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020.
Property and Equipment
Furniture and Equipment is stated at cost, or for furniture and equipment contributed to the Company upon incorporation, upon the fair market value of such furniture and equipment. Upon incorporation of the Company, the founders contributed artwork with a fair market value of $27,540 and furniture and office equipment with a fair market value of $11,415. The artwork is displayed at the Company’s principal executive offices. The cost of additions and substantial improvements to property, plant and equipment is capitalized. The cost of maintenance and repairs of property, plant and equipment is charged to operating expenses. Property, plant and equipment is depreciated using straight-line methods over their estimated economic lives. Purchases of equipment with a value of less than $500 are expensed.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
In accordance with ASC 350-40 “Internal-Use Software” and ASC 350-985 “Software” the Company expenses costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established,at and after which time those costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Costs incurred to enhance our software products, after general market release of the services using the products, is expensed in the period they are incurred. The periodic expense for the amortization of previously capitalized software development costs is included in costs of services provided.
F-10
Deferred offering costs
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 5.A, offering costs being incurred in connection with the Company’s proposed public offering under Regulation A are deferred and are reflected as other assets in the accompanying consolidated balances sheets. Such costs will be deducted from the net proceeds of the offering if it is successful; if not, such costs will be expensed.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with specified exceptions. This standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The implementation of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements. This standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The implementation of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements or disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements or disclosures.
F-11
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, Intangibles Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which was subsequently amended in November 2018 through ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to estimate all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's Financial Statements and related disclosures. The balance for allowance for uncollectable accounts was $0 for all periods presented.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or is not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company is still in development stage and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations. The Company has incurred net losses of $1,210,479 for the period May 16, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020. The Company has generated limited revenues to date. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's management plans to continue as a going concern revolves around its ability to achieve, as well as raise necessary capital to pay ongoing general and administrative expenses of the Company. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional sources of capital and the success of the Company's plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the additional capital or in achieving profitable operations.

NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value, of which 13,580,000 shares are outstanding as of December 31, 2020.
The Company issued 13,000,000 shares upon incorporation for furniture and artwork valued at $11,415 and $27,540, respectively, and intellectual property valued at the par value of the stock issued of $50.
At an annual shareholders meeting held in 2021, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation which (a) authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, which may be issued with such rights, preferences and designation and to be issued in such series as determined by the Board of Directors; (b) provides for the issuance of up to 800,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, each share of which is convertible into 10 shares of Common Stock and has 100 votes per share; and provides for a classified board of directors.
NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
Through December 31, 2020, the Company has offered and sold an aggregate of $686,250 of its 8% Convertible Debentures. The Debentures are mandatorily convertible into shares of Common Stock, together with accrued interest at 8% per annum, at the lesser of $3.75 per share or at a 25% discount to the price at which the Company effects a public offering under Regulation A (see below), at the earliest to occur of (a) three years after issuance of each particular Debenture, or (b) at such time as the Company raises no less than $1 million in any offering (including the above- referenced Regulation A offering) subsequent to the offering of the Debentures. Any holder of Debentures may also, at any time, convert Debentures in whole or in part into common stock at such conversion rate. Because the Debentures are mandatorily convertible into Common Stock, the Company has classified them as equity in the accompanying balance sheets.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company owns certain intellectual property, including a patent application and trade secrets, and patents in development, for its Multiomic Advanced Technology ™ (“MAT”). MAT sequences an individual’s DNA, reading the entire genome and analyzing the full data set of “omics,” including genomics, proteomics, and microbiomics, using artificial intelligence. Certain aspects of MAT were developed by an unaffiliated company, Frelii, Inc. and assigned to GATC Naturals Corp, a company under common control with the Company, on July 7, 2019. Canna transferred these intellectual property rights to the Company on July 24, 2020 in exchange for 500,000 shares of Company common stock. The Company has relicensed MAT to Canna with respect to its use for CBD-related therapies, in exchange for a license fee equal to 80% of Canna’s gross revenues.
F-13
>
The Company has loaned funds to GATC Canna as of December 31, 2020. GATC Canna owed the Company $104,700. The loans bear no interest and are payable on demand.
The Company subleases office space on a month-to-month basis in a modern office building from ONIT Sciences, Inc., a company under common control with the Company, and also reimburses ONIT for health insurance premiums of approximately $4,500 per month paid by ONIT on behalf of Company consultants. The total monthly payments to ONIT for the sublease and the health insurance is $15,000 per month. The lease rate per square foot is believed to be equivalent to the rate the Company would be required to pay to an unrelated party.
NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES
The Company did not provide for any Federal or state income tax expense during the period ended December 31, 2020 as a result of the availability of net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had provided a 100% valuation allowance with respect to such Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, as it cannot determine that it is more likely than not that it will be able to realize such deferred tax assets. This valuation
allowance represents the difference in the Company’s effective income tax of 0% and the Federal statutory income tax rate of 21% for the periods ended December 31, 2020.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in the United States. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property, and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits. The Company evaluated the provisions of the CARES Act and does not anticipate the associated impacts, if any, will have a material effect on the Company’s provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020.
NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Reg A Securities Offering
The Company is in the process of preparing for a securities offering exempt from registration under Regulation A. The Company intends to offer up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock for an anticipated price of $9.00 per share.
Related Party Licensing Agreement
On March 23, 2021, the Company licensed MAT to a newly-formed corporation, GATC DB Care Corp. (“DB Care”), in exchange for a 7% royalty on net sales, with respect to the diabetes genetic testing and the development of therapies with respect thereto. DB Care management and its control shareholders are all officers and/or shareholders of the Company. The Company loaned $100 to DB Care to enable that company to open a bank account.
Minority Interest Acquisition
By resolution of its Board of Directors dated March 31, 2021, the Company agreed to issue 1,215,500 shares of common stock to acquire the minority interests in its GATC Rx subsidiary, via a merger between that subsidiary and a new subsidiary to be formed for that purpose. This merger is expected to be finalized by June 30, 2021 and is subject to the approval of a majority of the minority shareholders at a shareholder meeting to be convened for such purpose.
Management’s Evaluation
Management has evaluated subsequent events through January 9, 2022, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional material events were identified which require adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

GATC HEALTH CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE UNAUDITED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
GATC Health Corp., a Wyoming corporation incorporated on May 16, 2020 (the “Company”), is engaged in the business of providing products and services for the gathering of human genome DNA, sequencing, and processing that sequence through artificial intelligence, and in developing a novel drug discovery platform utilizing artificial intelligence applied to the human genome. The Company has one majority-owned subsidiary, GATC Rx Corp; in August 2021, the Company acquired the 36.6% of minority interests in GATC Rx in exchange for shares of its common stock.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GATC Health Corp. and its majority-owned subsidiary. Non-controlling interests in net income or losses, and net equity are reported in amounts that reflect the non-controlling party(s) percentage ownership in the subsidiary. The effect of intercompany balances and transactions has been eliminated.
Reclassification
Certain items have been reclassified in the December 31, 2020 balance sheet to conform with the presentation for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and also to classify certain items. The principal items are as follows:
$268,000 of software development costs were capitalized; the revised amount is $107,633, with the balance of such costs being expensed.
$32,500 of accounting and legal costs were classified as deferred offering costs; $7,500 of such costs were expensed as not directly related to the Company’s Regulation A Offering.
Our Mandatorily Convertible Debentures were classified as a separate equity line item, and have been classified as long term debt, net of issuance costs.
These reclassifications and other revisions increased the Company’s net loss for the period to increase from $1,062,083 to $1,210,479, and reduced GATC Health stockholders’ equity from $237,864 to $(329,784).
Revenue Recognition
On May 16, 2020 (“Date of Formation”), the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ASC 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Results for the reporting periods beginning on Date of Formation are presented under ASC 606.
The Company generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
|
1. Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer. |
2. Identification of the performance obligations in the contract. |
3. Determination of the transaction price. |
4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
5. Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |
F-19
The Company currently has three principal revenue streams. Under a contract with Systemic Formulas, the Company is paid for application of its proprietary AI analysis to genetic data from individuals. Revenue on the Systemic Formulas contract is recognized upon completion of the analysis on each individual data set; the time required for analysis is typically less than one day. The Company also develops Engines for the analysis of genetically-specific applications. Revenues on development contracts are realized when the Engine is completed, as demonstrated by customer acceptance or other contractual provisions, or in some cases upon completion of agreed-upon stages. Finally, customers may enter into licensing agreements with the Company pursuant to which the Company is paid upon completion of AI analysis on a per-test basis; again, the time required for analysis is typically less than one day.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $4,269,466 and $18,374 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company does maintain cash balances in banking institutions in excess of federally insured amounts and therefore is exposed to the related potential credit risk associated with such cash deposits. The Company has not experienced any cash losses.
Income tax
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and the State of California. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” we provide for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not.
Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include among others, the fair value of shares of common stock issued for services. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are determined using authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, with the exception of the application of the guidance to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities as permitted. Fair value is defined in the authoritative guidance as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company's assumptions.
The Company is required to use observable market data if available without undue cost and effort.
F-20
The Company’s financial instruments include accounts payable. Management has estimated that the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature.
Loss Per Share
Loss per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and issuable during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and all common equivalent shares outstanding during the period in which they are dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the weighted average common shares outstanding was 17,030,849.
Stock-Based Compensation
Pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may issue stock instruments, including shares of its common stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), stock options, and warrants to purchase shares of its common stock to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2020-06 addresses the complexity in accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Amongst other provisions, the amendments in this ASU significantly change the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments and the guidance on the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity such that fewer conversion features will require separate recognition, and fewer freestanding instruments, like warrants, will require liability treatment. The implementation of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or is not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company is still in the development stage and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations. The Company has incurred net losses of $1,210,479 and $14,617,915, for the period May 16, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The Company has generated limited revenues to date. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's management plans to continue as a going concern revolves around its ability to achieve, as well as raise necessary capital to pay ongoing general and administrative expenses of the Company. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional sources of capital and the success of the Company's plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the additional capital or in achieving profitable operations.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in the United States. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property, and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits. The Company evaluated the provisions of the CARES Act and does not anticipate the associated impacts, if any, will have a material effect on the Company’s provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Through September 9, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had offered and sold an aggregate of $10,367,882 and $676,250, respectively, of its 8% Convertible Debentures. The Debentures are mandatorily convertible into shares of Common Stock, together with accrued interest at 8% per annum, at the lesser of $3.75 per share or at a 25% discount to the price at which the Company effects any equity offering of no less than $1 million, at the earliest to occur of (a) three years after issuance of each particular Debenture, or (b) at such time as the Company raises no less than $1 million in such offering subsequent to the offering of the Debentures.

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company owns certain intellectual property, including a patent application and trade secrets, and patents in development, for its Multiomic Advanced Technology ™ (“MAT”). MAT sequences an individual’s DNA, reading the entire genome and analyzing the full data set of “omics,” including genomics, proteomics, and microbiomics, using artificial intelligence. Certain aspects of MAT were developed by an unaffiliated company, Frelii, Inc. and assigned to GATC Naturls Corp. (“, a company under common control with the Company, on July 7, 2019. GATC Naturals transferred these intellectual property rights to the Company on July 24, 2020 in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of Company common stock. The Company has relicensed MAT to GATC NAturals with respect to its use for CBD-related therapies, in exchange for a license fee equal to 80% of GATC Natural’s gross revenues. The Company is required to pay Frelii a 3% royalty on MAT; to date, no material amount is due Frelii under the technology transfer agreement with that company.
On March 23, 2021, the Company licensed MAT to a newly-formed corporation, GATC DB Care Corp. (“DB Care”), in exchange for a 7% royalty on net sales, with respect to the diabetes genetic testing and the development of therapies with respect thereto. DB Care management and its control shareholders are all officers and/or shareholders of the Company. The Company loaned $100 to DB Care to enable that company to open a bank account.
Management believes that these transactions between the Company and Naturals/DB Care are on the same terms as would prevail in arm’s length negotiations.
The Company has loaned funds to both of GATC Naturals and Rx. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, GATC Naturals owed the Company $186,800 and $79,800, respectively. The loans bear no interest and are payable on demand.
F-25
Until August 1, 2021, the Company subleased approximately 2,500 square feet of office space on a month-to-month basis in a modern office building from ONIT Sciences, Inc., a company under common control with the Company, and also reimburses ONIT for health insurance premiums of approximately $4,500 per month paid by ONIT on behalf of Company consultants. The total monthly payments to ONIT for the sublease and the health insurance was $15,000 per month. The lease rate per square foot of $4.00 was believed to be equivalent to the rate the Company would be required to pay to an unrelated party. On August 1, 2021, the Company entered into a lease directly with the building owner for twenty-six months.
NOTE 9 – OPERATING LEASE
The Company adopted ASC 842 as of August 1, 2021. The Company has an operating lease for the Company’s warehouse and office and accounts for this lease in accordance with ASC 842. Adoption of the standard resulted in the initial recognition of operating lease ROU asset of $158,347 and operating lease liability of $158,347 as of August 1, 2021.
Effective August 1, 2021, the Company entered into a 26-month lease for its headquarters located at 2030 Main Street, Suite 660, Irvine, California. This facility is leased in monthly installments of approximately $7,866 for months 1 through 12, $8,090 for months 13 through 24, and $8,340 for months 25 and 26. The monthly rent shall be increased by three percent (3%) per annum each succeeding lease year.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our variable lease payments primarily consist of maintenance and other operating expenses from our real estate leases. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. We have elected to account for these lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We are also electing not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases of twelve months or less and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The components of lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the period are as follows:

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of the financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the consolidated financial statements except the following:
On December 3, 2021, the Company initiated a private offering to sell up to 2,000,000 units at a price of $5.00 per share. Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, one Class A warrant and one Class B warrant with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional share of common stock at a price of $5.00 and $10.00 per share, respectively, until December 31, 2023. Upon certain events, the warrants are callable at the option of the Company provided that the Company has filed a registration statement covering the common stock underlying the warrants. As of this filing, the Company has sold 6,500 units for $32,500.
Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company issued 474,800 options valued at $324,966 (based on the Black Scholes options pricing method on the date of grant).
