Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1)Condensed Interim Financial Statements
The Company - Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc. (“we”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 22, 2013, originally under the name of PowerMedChairs. On June 2, 2017, the Company changed its name to Holly Brothers Pictures, Inc. On February 1, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Power Blockchain, LLC through an exchange agreement in a transaction that resulted in the transition to a planned new business of mining crypto-currency. Effective November 15, 2019, the Company exited from that business and adopted a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities which involve the rapid application of therapeutics using inhaler technology that the Company licensed from a third party as a result of the execution of a license agreement with the licensor (see Note 4). In conjunction with the adoption of that new business strategy, the Company changed its name to Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc., effective January 13, 2020. At that time, the Company also commenced initial sales of its inhaler products. However, due to the subsequent impact of the COVID 19 pandemic, as well as other contributing factors, the Company has currently suspended such sales.
Interim Financial Information - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the changes in its stockholder’s deficit for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Consolidated Financial Statements. The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, and the related responses by public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat its outbreak and spread has severely impacted the U.S. and world economies. Decreased demand for our products caused by COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Separately, economic recessions, including those brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak may have a negative effect on the demand for our products and our operating results. Based on our limited operating history, we believe the range of possible impacts on the Company’s business from the coronavirus pandemic could include: (i) changing demand for the Company’s products; (ii) rising bottlenecks in the Company’s supply chain; and (iii) increasing contraction in the capital markets. At this time, the Company believes that it is premature to determine the potential impact on the Company’s business prospects from these or any other factors that may be related to the coronavirus pandemic.
(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting - The basis is United States generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rxoid Health Solutions, LLC and Power Blockchain, LLC (which is presently inactive).
Reverse Stock Split - On March 31, 2022, the Company completed a Board of Directors approved 1-for-25 reverse stock split. Accordingly, all common stock share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. At the same time, the total number of shares of common stock authorized was increased to 800 million.
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Table of contents
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Inventory - Inventory as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, consists of inhalers and related products and supplies delivered to a secured location within the Company’s offices, and held for sale to wholesale or retail customers. Inventory is stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and records an allowance to reduce the carrying value of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value based on its assessment of market conditions, inventory turnover and current stock levels.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment, consisting of office furniture and fixtures, laboratory equipment and leasehold improvements, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives ranging from two to five years.
Intangible Assets - The Company amortizes the costs of any renewable license or sub-license agreements over the contractual terms of such renewable agreements. For any license or sub-license agreements which do not require any renewal payments to be made, the Company performs periodic assessments in order to determine whether there has been any impairment in the carrying value of such intangible assets (see Note 4).
Revenue recognition - We account for revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The unit of account in Topic 606 is a performance obligation, which is a promise in a contract to transfer to a customer either a distinct good or service (or bundle of goods or services) or a series of distinct goods or services provided at a point in time or over a period of time. Topic 606 requires that a contract’s transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, is to be allocated to each performance obligation in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices and recognized as revenue when (point in time) or as (over time) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Earnings per Share - The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.
Income Taxes - The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred assets that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as further noted below.
Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is
10
Table of contents
based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.
Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.
Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued several new Accounting Standards Updates which the Company believes will have no material impact to the Company.
Subsequent Events - Management has evaluated any subsequent events occurring in the period from March 31, 2022 through the date the financial statements were issued, to determine if disclosure in this report is warranted (see Note 12).
(3)Going Concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has generated minimal revenues and has suffered recurring losses totaling $10,101,174 since inception. These factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of this filing.
In order to obtain the necessary capital to sustain operations, management’s plans include, among other things, the possibility of pursuing new equity sales and/or making additional debt borrowings. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining such additional financing, or that such financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
(4)Intangible Assets
The Company has acquired certain intangible asset rights to use the metered dose inhaler (MDI) developed by EM3 Methodologies, LLC (“EM3”) under a perpetual license agreement, dated February 9, 2021 (the “EM3 Exclusive License”). From November 15, 2019 to February 9, 2021, we held essentially the same rights, but on a more costly basis, under a renewable sublicense agreement with an affiliated company that had a license agreement with EM3, as further described below.
Effective November 15, 2019, we entered into a sublicense agreement (the “TMDI Agreement”) with Texas MDI, Inc., a Texas corporation, which is controlled by Donal R. Schmidt, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company (“TMDI”), whereby we acquired a sublicense from TMDI to use certain technology regarding MDI’s that TMDI had licensed from EM3 and the right to use the RxoidTM brand name owned by TMDI. At that time, TMDI had exclusive rights to research, develop, make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, export and/or import and commercialize, the ‘Desirick Procedure’, which is a proprietary process owned by EM3 for producing MDI using hemp (and other) derivatives in the States of Texas, California, Florida and Nevada, pursuant to an Exclusive License Agreement dated October 1, 2019, by and between TMDI and EM3 (the “Original EM3 Exclusive License”). Pursuant to the TMDI Agreement, we obtained substantially the same rights that TMDI had under the Original EM3 Exclusive License, as to the use of the ‘Desirick Procedure’ for the manufacturing of pressured MDI’s (pMDI) containing cannabis, hemp or a combination thereof in any legal jurisdiction, in consideration for the issuance of 5,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Such rights were recorded as the acquisition of an intangible asset in the amount of $140,000, based on the par value of the shares issued.
11
Table of contents
Effective February 9, 2021, both the TMDI Agreement and the Original EM3 Exclusive License were effectively terminated by mutual agreement of all parties and EM3 agreed to provide the Company with a royalty-free, perpetual license to use the Desirick Procedure or any derivation thereof and its application and use on an exclusive basis in the states of Texas, California, Florida and Nevada (subject to pre-existing licensing rights which have been provided by EM3 in such jurisdictions), and on a non-exclusive basis throughout the rest of the world.
During the term of the TMDI Agreement, we were required to reimburse TMDI for the initial two year license fee owed by TMDI to EM3 in the amount of $200,000. We partially satisfied this obligation by making an equipment purchase on behalf of EM3 in the amount of $135,000, and agreed to pay the remaining license fee of $65,000, either by making cash fee payments or by making cash purchases of certain supplies from EM3, within a 24-month period (for which, we had recorded a liability of $44,925 for the unpaid portion of this amount in accounts payable as of December 31, 2020). We had recorded the entire $200,000 license fee as an intangible asset and were amortizing such expense on a straight-line basis over a 24-month period at the rate of $25,000 per quarter. Pursuant to the termination of the two agreements on February 9, 2021, we no longer owe TMDI (or EM3) any license fees under either agreement (including, the accrued liability of $44,925). Effective as of February 2021, the Company is accounting for the licenses as an indefinite life asset not subject to amortization, resulting in the remaining balance of $170,075 being subjected to impairment testing at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.
(5)Asset Acquisition
On November 16, 2020, the Company closed an Asset Purchase and Sales Agreement with Razor Jacket, LLC (“Razor Jacket”), an Oregon based supplier of isolate and related products and its owners, with an effective date of November 1, 2020 (the “RJ Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the RJ Agreement, we purchased the intellectual property owned by Razor Jacket and the related equipment owned by the two members of Razor Jacket for a total purchase price of: (a) $300,000 in cash, paid at closing; (b) 25,000 shares of restricted common stock, issued at closing; and (c) the right for the sellers to earn up to 16,500,000 shares of our Series A of preferred stock, which are convertible into common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain conditions. The acquired equipment has been shipped to our existing facilities in Texas, where it is awaiting installation in a new location in that area (see Note 6).
The Company has accounted for this transaction as an acquisition of assets, pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805-50. Accordingly, we have accounted for each component of the purchase price as follows:
·We have charged the $300,000 in cash paid to the sellers at closing, which reflects an underlying cost that was a prepaid asset at closing and has no continuing benefit to the Company, to general and administrative expense in the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2020.
·We have allocated the 25,000 shares of restricted common stock issued to the sellers at closing as an addition to property and equipment in the amount of $500,000, based on an agreed upon price of $0.80 per share, which approximated the then current quoted price of the Company’s common stock, in accordance with the terms of the RJ Agreement.
·We have treated the right for the sellers to earn up to 16,500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock of the Company, consisting of three tranches of 5,500,000 shares each, as performance based contingent consideration, which potentially could be earned over a three-year period. Therefore, the Company will account for the issuance of any such shares of Series A preferred stock as compensation expense, when (and if) each tranche is earned and the shares are issued, pursuant to the terms of the RJ Agreement.
Razor Jacket was originally formed in July 2019 for the sole purpose of researching techniques for the extraction of isolates from raw hemp. We have not presented any pro forma disclosures relating to this acquisition in the notes to our financial statements because the transaction is deemed an asset acquisition.

On August 4, 2021, the Company closed a short-term bridge loan with an institutional investor in the gross amount of $1,941,176. The closing of this bridge loan resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $1,650,000, after deducting the 15% original issue discount, which the Company is accreting as a non-cash charge to interest expense over the term of the loan. We recorded amortization on this original issue discount for the period from August 4, 2021 to March 31, 2022, in the cumulative amount of $258,823. The bridge loan is in the form of a convertible debenture with a maturity date in May 2022 or earlier upon the closing of a public offering of common stock and/or common stock equivalents which results in the listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange (including Nasdaq). Due to unforeseen delays experienced in our planned public offering of common stock on a national exchange, we recently reached an agreement in principle with the institutional investor for an extension and expansion of borrowings under this bridge loan, based on terms that are yet to be agreed upon.
The debenture may not be prepaid without the prior written consent of the investor and does not accrue interest, except upon the occurrence of an event of default, at which time the amount owed accrues interest at the rate of 18% per annum, until paid in full. While the debenture is outstanding, the Company is prohibited from incurring additional indebtedness, repurchasing its securities or repaying certain of its indebtedness, paying cash dividends or other distributions on equity securities, other than pursuant to certain limited exceptions. The debenture is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the lower of:
(a)$10.00 per share, which is equal to 100% of the market price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to the closing of the offering, or
(b)a 25% discount to the offering price of the Company’s common stock in a qualified listing on a national exchange.
The conversion of the debenture is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, preventing such conversion by the holder thereof, if such exercise would result in such holder and its affiliates, exceeding ownership of 4.99% of our common stock, which percentage may be increased to up to 9.99%, with at least 61 days prior written notice by the holder thereof.
In accounting for this debenture, the Company has early adopted the provisions of ASU 2020-06, 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. Accordingly, the Company is treating the entire debenture as a debt liability on its consolidated balance sheet and has not bifurcated it into separate debt and equity components. The Company is using the proceeds of the bridge loan to meet its short-term working capital needs in anticipation of ultimately closing a qualified listing on a national exchange.
In conjunction with the convertible debenture, we granted the investor five-year warrants to purchase a total of 194,118 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. Such warrants have cashless exercise rights if when exercised, and following the six-month anniversary of the closing of the offering, a registration statement for the underlying shares of common stock, is not effective. The exercise of the warrants is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, preventing such exercise by the holder, if such exercise would result in such holder and its affiliates, exceeding ownership of 4.99% of our common stock, which percentage may be increased to up to 9.99% with at least 61 days prior written notice by the holder. The warrants contain anti-dilution rights such that if we issue, or are deemed to have issued, common stock at a price less than the then exercise price of the warrants, subject to certain exceptions, the exercise price of the warrants is automatically reduced to such lower value, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereafter is adjusted proportionately so that the aggregate exercise price payable upon exercise of such warrants is the same prior to and after such reduction in exercise price. The warrants also require the Company, at the holder’s option, following a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the agreement), to purchase the warrants from the holder in cash, based on the Black Scholes value (as calculated pursuant to the terms of the warrant). Additionally, we made a grant to the
14
Table of contents
placement agent for the bridge loan of warrants to purchase a total of 9,706 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, with substantially similar terms. All of these warrants are outstanding as of March 31, 2022.
The Company accounted for the issuance of the warrants as a liability recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 480-10. Using the Black Scholes model, the warrant liability was valued at issuance in the amount of $1,717,213. This was recorded as a discount to the convertible debt of $1,650,000 with the excess $67,213 expensed as interest. The Company accreted the debt discount to interest expense over the term of the convertible debenture. Debt discount amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $627,047. As of March 31, 2022, we adjusted the warrant liability, to its then current fair value of $1,162,405, based on the Black Scholes model, resulting in a loss on warrant liability in the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $77,045 that was recorded in the statement of operations.
Prior to obtaining the bridge loan noted above, the Company received unsecured cash advances from two of its officers from May through August 2021, in the net amount of $260,000. These related party advances accrue interest at the rate of 1% per annum and are payable on demand. Such advances are expected to be repaid out of the proceeds of an underwritten public offering of the Company’s equity securities in conjunction with the planned listing on a national exchange. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in achieving a closing of the underwritten public offering.
In the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company closed two short-term loans from two different lenders in the total amount of $597,000. One of these loans was from an independent director of the Company in the amount of $400,000. Both of these loans were in the form of unsecured promissory notes bearing interest at rates of approximately 8-18% per annum with a maturity of one year. For the larger note with an independent director, the principal amount and accrued interest are due at maturity whereas for the smaller note with an institutional investor, monthly payments of principal and interest of $21,276 are required, beginning on May 16, 2022. In the event of a default by the Company on the payment terms of either note, the notes would be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (a) $0.001875 per share; and (b) 75% of the average closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, on the principal securities exchange or market where the Company’s common stock is then quoted or traded, for the five trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. The Company expects to use the proceeds of these loans to meet its short-term working capital needs in anticipation of ultimately closing a qualified listing on a national exchange, of which there can be no assurance.
Effective March 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, the Company reached the necessary milestones to trigger the conversion of certain notes payable issued on various dates in 2018 and 2019, as amended, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at conversion prices of $1.25 to $3.25 per share, subject to a 4.99% ownership limitation for each beneficial owner of such notes. In conjunction with these conversions, the holders of notes with total principal and accrued interest balances in the aggregate amount of $794,358 converted their notes into 433,203 shares of common stock, effective March 31, 2021, and the holders of notes with total principal and accrued interest balances in the aggregate amount of $501,137 converted their notes into 400,910 shares of common stock, effective August 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2022, convertible notes payable in the amount of $174,685, plus accrued interest in the amount of $41,141, remain outstanding and are available to be subsequently converted into 172,661 shares of common stock, subject to the ownership limitation (see Note 9).
Effective November 15, 2019, the following transactions took place in the Company’s notes payable:
·The Company entered into new promissory notes with two accredited investors under which the Company borrowed a total of $300,000, with such notes maturing in five years, accruing interest at 5% per annum, and being convertible into common stock at the option of the holders, at a conversion price of $1.25 per share.
·The two holders of outstanding convertible notes payable elected to exercise their existing rights to convert a portion of their notes into shares of common stock, at the stated conversion ratio of $3.25 per share. The two holders converted a total principal amount of $2,034,760 in notes into a total of 626,080 shares of common stock leaving the remaining total principal balance of $165,240 unconverted at that time (it was subsequently converted effective March 31, 2021).
·The Company entered into an amendment with the holders of existing non-convertible notes in the total principal amount of $732,835 (out of a total of $756,535) whereby such notes will remain

outstanding and continue to accrue interest with deferral of the maturity dates being extended for one year or until the Company had raised an additional $500,000 of new equity securities, at which time, the principal and accrued interest was to be converted into common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 per share (of the total notes amended, notes in the amount of $708,150 have been converted into common stock through March 31, 2021 and 2022, as a result of such $500,000 equity raise threshold being met).
The Company performed an analysis of both the newly issued convertible notes and the newly amended existing notes, which were formerly non-convertible, to determine whether there was a beneficial conversion feature and noted none.
(8)Long Term Lease Obligation
Effective October 1, 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a landlord to lease 8,566 square feet of commercial office building space located in Addison, Texas (see Note 6). The lease agreement is for a total term of 63 months, beginning October 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2022, the Company is building out this space and intends to utilize it as its corporate office as well as its aerosol filling laboratory and isolate manufacturing facility. The Company is accounting for the lease agreement as an operating lease under ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Accordingly, the Company has capitalized the present value of the future lease obligations and is amortizing the related right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis each month over the term of the lease.
Future operating lease minimum payments, together with their present values as of March 31, 2022, are summarized as follows:

The Company valued such shares at $5.00 per share resulting in recognizing non-cash compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2022 in the amount of $20,000. Under the agreement with the principals of the private company, the Company may complete the purchase of the lab equipment by making a cash payment to them of

$52,000, by no later than June 30, 2022, subject to completion of a qualified listing on a national exchange. If such a listing is not completed by that date, the Company may elect to return the equipment, however, the two principals will retain the 4,000 shares of common stock as compensation.
Effective March 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, the Company reached the necessary milestones to trigger the conversion of certain notes payable issued on various dates in 2018 and 2019, as amended, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at conversion prices of $1.25 to $3.25 per share, subject to a 4.99% ownership limitation for each beneficial owner of such notes. In conjunction with these conversions, the holders of notes with total principal and accrued interest balances in the aggregate amount of $794,358 converted their notes into 433,203 shares of common stock, effective March 31, 2021, and the holders of notes with total principal and accrued interest balances in the aggregate amount of $501,137 converted their notes into 400,910 shares of common stock, effective August 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2022, convertible notes payable in the amount of $174,685, plus accrued interest in the amount of $41,141, remain outstanding and are available to be subsequently converted into 172,661 shares of common stock, subject to the ownership limitation (see Note 7).
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company entered into private stock subscription agreements with several accredited investors whereby it sold them a total of 53,000 shares of restricted common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $530,000. The investors also received an equal number of warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock at exercise prices of $21.25 to $25.00 per share. Such purchases must be made within 180 days of the Company’s 3-day volume weighted average stock price being above the exercise price, otherwise, such warrants are void.
On December 29, 2020, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to the ratification by the majority shareholders, which ratification occurred pursuant to a majority shareholder consent, effective on December 30, 2020, the Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. Effective on January 7, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to the ratification by the majority shareholders, which ratification occurred pursuant to a majority shareholder consent, effective on January 11, 2022, the First Amended and Restated Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”).
The 2020 Plan provides an opportunity for any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company, subject to limitations provided by federal or state securities laws, to receive (i) incentive stock options (to eligible employees only); (ii) nonqualified stock options; (iii) restricted stock; (iv) stock awards; (v) shares in performance of services; (vi) other stock-based awards; or (vii) any combination of the foregoing. In making such determinations, the Board of Directors may take into account the nature of the services rendered by such person, his or her present and potential contribution to the Company’s success, and such other factors as the Board of Directors in its discretion shall deem relevant.
Subject to adjustment in connection with the payment of a stock dividend, a stock split or subdivision or combination of the shares of common stock, or a reorganization or reclassification of the Company’s common stock, the aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2020 Plan is the sum of (i) 1,000,000 shares, and (ii) an annual increase on March 1st of each calendar year, beginning in 2022 and ending in 2030, in each case subject to the approval of the Board of Directors or the compensation committee of the Company (if any) on or prior to the applicable date, equal to the lesser of (A) five percent (5%) of the total shares of common stock of the Company outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; (B) 1,000,000 shares of common stock; and (C) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board of Directors or compensation committee of the of the Company (if any)(the “Share Limit”), also known as an “evergreen” provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares added to the Share Limit are available for issuance as incentive stock options only to the extent that making such shares available for issuance as incentive stock options would not cause any incentive stock option to cease to qualify as such. In the event that the Board of Directors or the compensation committee (if any) does not take action to affirmatively approve an increase in the Share Limit on or prior to the applicable date provided for under the plan, the Share Limit remains at its then current level. Notwithstanding the above, no more than 10,000,000 incentive stock options may be granted pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Plan.
The maximum number of shares subject to awards granted during a single calendar year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid during the compensation year to the non-employee director, in respect of the director’s service as a member of the Board during such year (including service as a member or chair of any committees of the Board), will not exceed $500,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on the grant date fair value of such awards for financial reporting purposes). Compensation

will count towards this limit for the calendar year in which it was granted or earned, and not later when distributed, in the event it is deferred.
Employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the 2020 Plan. Incentive stock options may be granted under the 2020 Plan only to employees of the Company and its affiliates. Employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive all other types of awards under the 2020 Plan. No awards are issuable by the Company under the 2020 Plan (a) in connection with services associated with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction; or (b) where the services directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities.
The 2020 Plan will automatically terminate on the 10th anniversary of original approval date of the Plan (December 29, 2030). However, prior to that date, the Company’s Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 2020 Plan as it deems advisable, but it cannot adopt an amendment if it would (1) without a grantee’s consent, materially and adversely affect that grantee’s award; or (2) without shareholder approval, increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that can be awarded under the 2020 Plan, except as provided for therein.
The Company has made no awards under the 2020 Plan to date.
In March 2018, the Board approved the establishment of a 2018 Stock Option Plan with an authorization for the issuance of up to 800,000 shares of common stock. The Plan is designed to provide for future discretionary grants of stock options, stock awards and stock unit awards to key employees and non-employee directors. The Company has made no awards under the 2018 Stock Option Plan to date.

Office services were provided without charge by our Chief Executive Officer and director, Donal R. Schmidt, Jr., from November 15, 2019 to June 30, 2021, at which time, the Company relocated to a new leased office location through December 31, 2021. Pending completion of the build out of the new office and lab space in Addison, Texas (see Note 6), the Company relocated back to the office space in Dallas, Texas, provided by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer at no cost or commitment to the Company, effective as of January 1, 2022. Such costs are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company’s audit committee is tasked with resolving related party conflicts.
(11)Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, the outcomes of which may not be determinable. The results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in diversion of significant resources. We are not able to estimate an aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses for those legal matters for which losses are not probable and estimable, primarily for the following reasons: (i) many of the relevant legal proceedings are in preliminary stages, and until such proceedings develop further, there is often uncertainty regarding the relevant facts and circumstances at issue and potential liability; and (ii) many of these proceedings involve matters of which the outcomes are inherently difficult to predict. We currently have no insurance policies covering such potential losses.
We are not at this time involved in any legal proceedings.
