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 2019, we generated $875,345 in sales and incurred a net loss of $(142,060).
In 2020, we generated $858,015 in sales, and incurred net income from operations
of $24,688. 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, 2020, we had $108,126 in cash
on hand in our corporate bank account and liabilities of $315,225, which
consisted of $167,324 in related party payables and $147,901 in accounts payable
and accrued expenses. During March 2021, we received $332,533 in repayment from
the outstanding officer advance acquired in the Sellavir acquisition. 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 2020, Quarta-Rad acquired Sellavir, Inc, a Delaware corporation,
under common control, as a wholly owned subsidiary We acquired the company in
exchange for 333,333 shares of our 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.
The Company has two operating segments through the operations of Quarta-Rad and
Sellavir noted above. Results of operations of Sellavir were included for the
period December 16, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $858,015 comprised of
$843,015 from Quarta-Rad and $15,000 from Sellavir.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $188,187, comprised
of $182,501 from Quarta-Rad and $5,686 from Sellavir.

of $52,724 income tax benefit from Quarta-Rad and $1,956 income tax expense from
Sellavir.

$66,142 from Quarta-Rad and $9,314 from Sellavir.

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.
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, 2020 and 2019.
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, 2020 and 2019, respectively, together with notes thereto,
which are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 compared to the Year Ended December 31,
2019
Revenues. Our net revenues decreased $17,330, or 1.98%, to $858,015 for the year
ended December 31, 2020 compared with $875,345 for comparable period in 2019.
The decrease was due to a reduction in the sale of our RD1503 model, partially
offset by the revenue from Sellavir. We attribute the decrease to a nominal
decrease in demand.
Cost of Goods Sold. Our Cost of Goods Sold decreased $2,050, or 0.32%, to
$645,140 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $647,190 for the
comparable period in 2019. The decrease is due to the decrease in sales.
Operating Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our total operating
expenses decreased $182,028, or 49.17%, to $188,187 compared to $370,215 for the
comparable period in 2019. Operating expenses were comprised of general and
administrative expenses, professional and consulting fees and research and
development costs. The components of operating expenses are discussed below.
? General and administrative expenses, including advertising, decreased $95,316,
or 55.15%, to $77,505 for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $172,821 for
the comparable period in 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to the
Company's reserve for a potential liability in connection with a tax
examination by certain European taxing authorities in 2019.
? Professional and consulting fees decreased $14,712, or 11.73%, for the year
ended December 31, 2020 to $110,682 from $125,394 for the comparable period in
2019. The decrease is due to a reduction in accounting and legal fees for
certain projects.
? Research and development cost decreased $72,000 to $-0- for the year ended
December 31, 2020 compared to $72,000 for the comparable period in 2019. The
decrease is attributable to the Company's reduction of research contract costs
to develop and maintain new and existing devices.
Income Tax Benefit. Our income tax benefit increased $50,768 to $50,768 for the
year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $-0- for the comparable period in 2019.
The increase is related to the income tax benefit received from the reversal of
a prior valuation allowance as a result of the Sellavir acquisition.
Net Income. Our net income increased by $217,156 to $75,456 for the year ended
December 31, 2020 from a net loss of ($142,060) for the year ended December 31,
2019. The increase is primarily attributable to the reduction in operating
expenses and the acquisition of Sellavir and the increase in income tax benefit.

used cash for operating expenses from cash on hand and the sale of products on

profit.
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, 2020 and 2019, 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.
