General and Administrative Expenses
G&A expenses consist of professional fees, service charges, office expenses and similar items.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred G&A expenses of $8,777, an increase of $727 compared to G&A expenses of $8,050 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, and the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred G&A expenses of $22,655 and $27,672, respectively. The increase in the quarter is largely due to timing of services provided, primarily professional fees related to compliance and expenses of maintaining our status as a public company. The reduction year-to-date in 2022 similarly reflects differences in the timing of services provided, but the six months ending June 30, 2021 also includes additional professional fees related to the March 2021 cancellation of the 2016 Loan and related issuance of new shares.
Other Expense
Other expense primarily represents state licenses, filing fees, minimum tax expense and net interest expense.
Other expense increased to $1,751 during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $223 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase relates to state registration fees that were incurred in the first quarter 2021 versus the second quarter of 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred other expense of $2,691, a decrease of $4,814 compared to other expense of $7,505 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease relates entirely to interest expense. The Company incurred net interest expense of $5,680 during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and $866 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of a loan from the President of the Company. The 2016 Loan was cancelled on March 26, 2021 and the 2022 Loan was not initiated until March 23, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market funds. We did not have any short-term or long-term investments as of June 30, 2022. Cash requirements for working capital and capital expenditures have been funded from cash balances on hand. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7,808 and working capital of $7,398, excluding the related party debt. With the related party debt, we had a working capital deficit of ($23,468).
Historically, the Company satisfied its working capital needs from related party loans from Steven N. Bronson, the Chairman, President, CEO, and majority shareholder. On December 31, 2016, Mr. Bronson entered into a revolving loan agreement (the “2016 Loan”) whereby Mr. Bronson would loan the Company money from time-to-time to fund working capital needs to pay operating expenses. The 2016 Loan was unsecured, repayable upon demand and accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum.
On March 26, 2021, the Company sold 1,600,000 shares of its Common Stock to Mr. Bronson at a price of $0.25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000. Mr. Bronson paid the purchase price for the shares by cancelling $349,442 in principal and accrued interest outstanding under the 2016 Loan and paying $50,558 in cash.
On March 23, 2022, Mr. Bronson entered into a new revolving loan agreement (the “2022 Loan”) whereby Mr. Bronson would loan the Company money from time-to-time to fund working capital needs to pay operating expenses. The 2022 Loan is unsecured, repayable upon demand and accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum.
