Trend Information
Because we are still in the startup phase and have only recently launched the Company, we are unable to identify any recent trends in site visitations, revenue or expenses since the latest financial year. Thus, we are unable to identify any known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events involving our business that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause the reported financial information in the Offering to not be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies outlined in the Offering Circular and attachments as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. Those policies outlined are not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Note that our preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Corporate Structure
(a) Summary – Biolife4D Corporation (the “Company”) is an early-stage investment corporation established by the executive officer and principal shareholder, Steven Morris, to develop critical life-saving technology.

The Company begun its operations on a limited basis as it is still progressing through the regulatory and capital raising stage. It has not yet made any capital investments other than the purchase of a 3D printer in 2019.
Once the Company has raised sufficient capital, it plans to develop the technology to bio-print a human heart for transplantation.
The Company has been qualified as an issuer of securities under Regulation A by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
(b) Methods of Accounting and Basis for Presentation – The Company prepares the financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles which includes usage of the accrual method of accounting to match expenses with the period in which they are associated with revenue.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company also conform to Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company has elected to adopt early application of the Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements.” The Company does not present or disclose certain items otherwise required under Topic 915.
(c) Estimates – The Company prepares the financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and costs as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results are reconciled with these estimates as they occur but they may differ from initial reporting.
(d) Comparative Financial Statements – Under US generally accepted accounting principles and applicable presentation standards, financial statements are presented in a comparative fashion with prior periods. Years presented herein comply with the disclosure requirements under Title IV of the JOBS Act.
(e) Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue and costs in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 which significantly updates the standards for revenue recognition for all entities, public, private and not-for-profit, that have contracts with customers to provide goods or services. For private entities, such as the Company, the effective date for implementation of these new standards is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. No pro-forma or early adoption of these new revenue recognition standards has been implemented by the Company.
(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents – As of the reporting period, the Company’s cash deposits are held in an FDIC-insured financial institution. As of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, the Company held cash balances of $1,337,468 and $963,318, respectively. While the balance of cash held exceeds the amount insured under FDIC policies, the Company does not believe that to be a substantial risk.
(g) Accounts or Investments Receivable – As of the December 31, 2019 reporting period, the Company did not have any account receivable or investor capital commitments receivable except that the Company is owed $12,000 of receivables from a shareholder as of December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has a shareholder receivable of $1,500,000.
(h) Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. As of the balance sheet date, there were no financial instruments outstanding requiring fair value disclosure.
(i) Common Equity – The Company has authorized 11,000,000 shares of voting, $0.00001 par value common stock and an additional 6,000,000 of non-voting, $0.00001 par value common stock. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Mr. Morris beneficially owned 85.68 percent and 86.47 percent, respectively, of the voting common shares.
(j) Deferred Offering Costs - The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10. The Deferred Offering Costs of the Company consist solely of legal fees incurred in connection with the capital raising efforts of the Company. Under ASC 340-10, costs incurred are capitalized until the offering whereupon the offering costs are charged to shareholders’ equity or expensed. The Company had spent approximately $25,000 on legal and issuing costs that have been properly capitalized until the share offering. During 2018, the balance of deferred offering costs was charged against shareholders’ equity.
(k) Start-Up Costs - In accordance with ASC 720, costs related to start-up activities, including organizational costs, are expensed in the period incurred.
(l) Income Taxes – The Company accounts for the income taxes with the recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current period and for the estimated future tax effect attribute to the temporary book-to-tax differences and carryforwards generated. Measurement of the deferred items of income tax is based on enacted tax laws and rates and compared to the realizable value of any deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has a combined federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to generate taxable income in the future, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset created by the NOL carryforward. The NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2036.
At this time, no activity of the Company requires a provision for state income tax.
The Company has filed all of its US federal and state tax returns in a timely fashion and those tax positions remain open for examination by the taxing authorities until the NOL carryforwards have been used.
The Company routinely evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. As of June 30, 2020, the unrecognized tax benefits accrual was zero.
ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
The company has issued 60,000 options for non-voting, $0.00001 par value per share common stock to certain non-employees and directors. All issuance of stock options were considered to be of nominal value through June 30, 2020.

Additionally, the holders of these long-term loans payable were also granted a cumulative amount of 200,000 shares of voting common stock and 60,000 shares of non-voting common stock. The terms of the long-term loans payable are largely similar among all of the holders except for which holders received voting and non-voting stock and how many shares were received by the holders of the Shareholder Notes.
During 2018, the Company satisfied $225,000 of convertible notes through by settling the notes for cash at their face value.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has accrued approximately $94,503 of interest payable to the Shareholder Noteholders. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has accrued approximately $139,265 of interest payable to the Shareholder Noteholders
In accordance with ASC 480-10-25-15, the 200,000 voting common shares and 60,000 non-voting common shares are accounted for separately from Shareholder Notes as they are freestanding from the Shareholder Note. Accordingly, the proceeds of the Shareholder Note are recorded as the proceeds from the issuance of a long-term liability while the freestanding shares issued are recorded as equity received in a non-cash transaction.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 9 – Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through September 29, 2020 including adoption or implementation of any required accounting standard updates.
