Results of Operations
General
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 29,
2011 with fiscal year end in December 31. We were formed to distribute and sell
detection devices to homeowners and interested consumers in North America.
Initially, our business plan was to sell products on consignment from Star
Systems Japan, a corporation owned by our majority shareholder. We purchased
these products from Quarta-Rad, Ltd., a company owned by our minority
shareholder. We also targeted direct-to-consumer sales since we believe we can
distribute these products through the Internet. We have never been party to any
bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding, nor have we undergone any
material reclassification, merger, consolidation, purchase or sale of a
significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
As of the date of this Form 10-K, we continue to expand our operations and
expect to increase our revenues with additional working capital by increasing
our advertising and marketing. Our chief executive officer and director, Victor
Shvetsky, and our director and president, Alexey Golovanov, are our only
employees. Mr. Shvetsky and Mr. Golovanov will devote at least ten hours per
week to us but may increase the number of hours as necessary. In 2012, Messrs.
Shvetsky and Golovanov's companies have been the source of commissionable
consignment sales and we did not carry any inventory. In 2013, we discontinued
selling the products on consignment from our majority shareholder's company for
a commission or consignment fee and began purchasing inventory directly from
Quarta-Rad, Ltd (Russia) ("QRR") to sell on the Internet to direct consumers and
to third party resellers. In 2012, when a reseller placed an order from us we
purchased the product from our related party supplier and have it ship the
product directly to the reseller. Beginning in 2013, we began purchasing the
products from Quarta-Rad, Ltd., our related party supplier and it shipped the
products to us. We then shipped the products to a third party online retailer,
to hold for Internet sales and sales to our third party resellers.
Our administrative office is located at 1201 N. Orange St., Suite 700,
Wilmington, DE 19801, which is a virtual office.
In 2020, we generated $858,015 in sales and incurred a net profit of $75,456 In
2021, we generated $1,245,981 in sales, and incurred a net profit of $7,343. We
anticipate that we will be able to increase our revenues. We believe that we
have sufficient working capital to continue our operations for the next 12
months; however, we believe that we need to seek additional financing to expand
our sales. As of December 31, 2021, we had $260,200 in cash on hand in our
corporate bank account and liabilities of $247,079, which consisted of $167,758
in related party payables and $79,321 in accounts payable and accrued expenses
We currently have two officers and directors. These individuals allocate time
and personal resources to us on a part-time basis and devote approximately 10
hours per week to us. Our sales are to independent, third parties. Since May
2012, we have utilized the services of an independent contractor to assist us in
selling the products. He is paid on a commission only basis.
In 2018, we continued to focus our business operations on the development of our
distribution agreements and reseller network as well as continue to advertise on
the Internet. We plan to continue to utilize our website to promote the products
to home renovation contractors and other purchasers of detection devices. We are
promoting the detection products by advertising our website and marketing to
independent distributors and others interested in detection devices. We purchase
the products from QRR, which is owned by our minority shareholder and is the
original manufacturer for RADEX product line. Under an oral agreement with QRR,
we have the exclusive distribution rights for sale of QRR products in Europe,
the US, and Asia (excluding China) for a period of 10 years which expires in
2027. We sell the products we purchase from QRR directly to third party buyers
and to resellers. The purchase terms require us to prepay for the products we
purchase at a price that is set forth in each purchase order. The product
pricing has been discounted pursuant to a discount agreement. We have extended
this agreement thru 2027. During 2019, our ability to sell through our
distributor in the UK was suspended due to an ongoing UK VAT examination, we are
currently testing new partners for EU distribution and have resumed UK sales.
During December 2011, Quarta-Rad we acquired Sellavir, Inc, a Delaware
corporation, under common control, as a wholly owned subsidiary We acquired the
company in exchange for 333,333 shares on common stock. The value of the stock
on the date of issue was approximately $170,000. Sellavir is a video analytics
company whose platform empowers organizations to decode videos to develop
creative marketing strategies and analysis through advanced and proprietary
technologies. Quarta-Rad has acquired the company to leverage Sellavir
capabilities to combine it with its Radex series to offer AI-enhanced radiation
detection capabilities and expand its scope outside the radiation measurement.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates. Our Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation
of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates
its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition,
accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies. Management bases its
estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most
significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial
statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain
assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. In
addition, these accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this
discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in
this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
11
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value). We
periodically review the value of items in inventory and provide write-downs or
write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions.
Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. Our inventory
consists entirely of finished goods available for sale. We analyze our accounts
receivable to determine if a reserve for non-collectible receivables is
necessary. There is no allowance recorded at December 31, 2021 and 2020.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, together with notes thereto,
which are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

year ended December 31, 2021 compared with $858,105 for comparable period in

demand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we
used cash for operating expenses from cash on hand and the sale of products on
the Internet and from independent third-party resellers.
Our total assets were $581,602 and $633,404 as of December 31, 2021 and December
31, 2020, respectively, consisting of $260,200 and $108,126, respectively, in
cash. Our working capital surplus was $291,782 and $263,411 as of December 31,
2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Our total liabilities were $247,079 and $315,225 as of December 31, 2021 and
December 31, 2020, respectively.
Our stockholders' equity was $334,523 and $318,179 as of December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively and our accumulated deficit was $13,771 and $21,114 as of
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
We had $54,400 and $36,499 in cash provided by operating activities for the year

We had $97,674 and $29,665 in cash provided by investing activities for year
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
We had no cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31,
2021 and 2020, respectively.
We do not have sufficient funds for pursuing our plan of operation, but we are
in the process of trying to procure funds sufficient to fund our operations
until we are able to finance our operations through cash flow. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to procure funds sufficient for such purpose. If
operating difficulties or other factors (many of which are beyond our control)
delay our realization of revenues or cash flows from operations, we may be
limited in our ability to pursue our business plan. Moreover, if our resources
from obtaining additional capital or cash flows from operations, once we
commence them, do not satisfy our operational needs or if unexpected expenses
arise due to unanticipated pressures or if we decide to expand our business plan
beyond its currently anticipated level or otherwise, we will require additional
financing to fund our operations, in addition to anticipated cash generated from
our operations. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable
to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on
acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of
unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise
respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In a worst-case
scenario, we might not be able to fund our operations or to remain in business,
which could result in a total loss of our stockholders' investment. If we raise
additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities,
the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly
issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those
of existing stockholders.
The Company had no formal long-term lines of credit or other bank financing
arrangements as of March 31, 2022.
The Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or
equipment.
The Company has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going
concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. While the Company has established
a source of revenues to cover its operating costs it incurred a small profit in
2021 and cannot support a salary for its CEO, which causes substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate
capital to implement its business plan. If the Company is unable to obtain
adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
Management intends to focus on raising funds going forward. The Company cannot
provide any assurance or guarantee that it will be able to raise funds.
Potential investors must be aware if it is unable to raise funds through the
sale of its common stock and generate sufficient revenues, any investment made
into the Company would be lost in its entirety.
13
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding
paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable
operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
The Company has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating
loss carry forward and startup costs that may offset any future operating
profit. The Company has deferred tax assets of $39,571.
Impact of Inflation
The Company believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations
over the past year.
Capital Expenditures
The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Plan of Operation
Our business strategy is to continue to market our website (www.quartarad.com).
We have used our website to market products for sale to consumers as well to
third party distributors. We will continue to strengthen our presence on
e-commerce sites. We are also focusing on expanding our reseller network by
targeting large consumer retail chains.
The number of detection devices, which we will be able to sell will depend upon
the success of our marketing efforts through our website and the distributors
that we will enter into agreement with to sell the products.
We intend to implement the following tasks within the next twelve months:
Inventory: We intend to purchase inventory to increase our sales. We believe
that these funds will be initially sufficient for us to increase our inventory
from Quarta-Rad, Ltd. The amount needed for inventory purchases is directly
related to the demand for sales of our product.
Marketing: (Estimated cost $25,000-$100,000). In addition to the website
development costs, we intend to increase our marketing efforts on the Internet
to generate leads and sales. We will also utilize funds to develop marketing
brochures and materials to market the products to industry professionals such as
home renovation contractors. We intend to market our services through Sellavir
to obtain new clients and opportunities.
Secure Distribution Agreements: (Estimated cost $10,000). We plan to seek and
secure distribution agreements for the sale of our detection devices.
Our management does not anticipate the need to hire additional full or part-
time employees over the next six (6) months, as the services provided by our
officers and directors and our independent contractor appear sufficient at this
time. We believe that our operations are currently on a small scale that is
manageable by these two individuals as well as our independent contractor. Our
management's responsibilities are mainly administrative at this early stage.
While we believe that the addition of employees is not required over the next
six (6) months, the professionals we plan to utilize will be considered
independent contractors. We do not intend to enter into any employment
agreements with any of these professionals. Thus, these persons are not intended
to be employees of our company.
We currently do not own any plants or equipment that we would seek to sell in
the near future; we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements; and we have
not paid for expenses on behalf of our directors.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of
the new accounting pronouncements is not anticipated to have a material effect
on our operations.
