NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION, LIQUIDITY, AND BUSINESS

Corporate History

BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Stem Pearls, LLC (“Stem Pearls”). BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. and its subsidiary are referred to collectively as “BRT” or the “Company”.

On October 27, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-4,000 reverse stock split of its common stock. The Company has retroactively applied the reverse stock split made effective on October 27, 2021 to share and per share amounts on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. In connection with the reverse stock split, the Company’s authorized number of shares of common stock was reduced from 300,000,000,000 to 75,000,000. The Company’s authorized number of shares of preferred stock was not affected by the reverse stock split.

On November 9, 2021, the Company completed a $23,000,000 underwritten public offering of units of securities pursuant to which an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 2,645,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering as follows: (i) undertaking of clinical trials with respect to BRTX-100 and its related collection and delivery procedure; (ii) pre-clinical research and development with respect to the Company’s ThermoStem Program; and (iii) for general corporate and working capital purposes. In connection with the public offering, the Company’s common stock was listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Nature of the Business

BRT develops therapeutic products and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. BRT’s website is at www.biorestorative.com. BRT is currently developing a Disc/Spine Program referred to as “brtxDISC”. Its lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a person’s own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patient’s bone marrow. The product is intended to be used for the non-surgical treatment of painful lumbosacral disc disorders or as a complimentary therapeutic to a surgical procedure. BRT is also engaging in research efforts with respect to a platform technology utilizing brown adipose (fat) for therapeutic purposes to treat type 2 diabetes, obesity and other metabolic disorders and has labeled this initiative its ThermoStem Program. Further, BRT has licensed a patented curved needle device that is a needle system designed to deliver cells and/or other therapeutic products or material to the spine and discs or other potential sites.

Liquidity

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfying liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $143.6 million and a working capital surplus of $17.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $9.5 million (of which, $6.5 million was attributable to non-cash stock-based compensation) and negative cash flows from operations of $2.8 million. The Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur net losses as it executes its development plans for 2022 and beyond, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company has previously funded, and plans to continue funding, these losses primarily through current cash on hand and additional infusions of cash from equity and debt financing.

The Company believes that it has been able to mitigate the above factors with regard to its ability to continue as a going concern as a result of its November 9, 2021, public offering pursuant to which the Company received net proceeds of approximately $21.1 million. As a result of the above, and cash on hand as of June 30, 2022, the Company believes it has sufficient cash to fund operations for the twelve months subsequent to the filing date.

Current funds noted above will not be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such needed additional financing on a timely basis, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 has been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity-based transactions, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates which may cause the Company’s future results to be affected.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the carrying value of intangible assets, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected divided rate.

Revenue

The Company derives all of its revenue pursuant to a license agreement between the Company and a stem cell treatment company (“SCTC”) entered into in January 2012 and amended in November 2015. Pursuant to the license agreement, the SCTC granted to the Company a license to use certain intellectual property related to, among other things, stem cell disc procedures, and the Company has granted to the SCTC a sublicense to use, and the right to sublicense to third parties the right to use, in certain locations in the United States and the Cayman Islands, certain of the licensed intellectual property. In consideration of the sublicenses, the SCTC has agreed to pay the Company royalties on a per disc procedure basis.

The Company’s contracted transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation with a fixed determinable contract value. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied upon the transfer of risk of loss to the customer. All sales have fixed pricing and there are currently no variable components included in the Company’s revenue. The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of receiving royalty payments. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to receipt of a royalty payment and the Company has an unconditional right to the royalty payment. Alternatively, when a royalty payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $71,100 and $15,000, respectively, of revenue related to the Company’s sublicenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $87,100 and $33,000, respectively, of revenue related to the Company’s sublicenses.

Contract Modifications

There were no contract modifications during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Contract modifications are not routine in the performance of the Company’s contracts.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents held at financial institutions may at times exceed insured amounts. The Company believes it mitigates such risk by investing in or through, as well as maintaining cash balances with, major financial institutions. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company periodically assesses its accounts receivable and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. The Company provides for allowances for doubtful accounts based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. Payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. The Company had no balances related to allowances for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally 3 – 15 years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of assets are capitalized and depreciated over the remainder of the useful life. Computer equipment costs are capitalized as incurred and depreciated on a straight-line basis over a range of 3 – 5 years.

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of (i) the useful life of the asset or (ii) the remaining lease term. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes costs attributable to the betterment of property and equipment when such betterment enhances the functionality of the asset or extends the useful life of the asset. Should an asset be disposed of before the end of its useful life, the cost and accumulated depreciation at that date are removed from the consolidated balance sheets, with the resulting gain or loss, if any, reflected in operations in that period.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the carrying amount to the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down to fair value first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. There are no impairment charges for all periods presented.

Intangible Assets

The Company records its intangible assets at cost, for those intangible assets not acquired in a business combination, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life, which is determined by either the term of the underlying agreement they related to or identifying the period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $245 and $6,220 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Advertising and marketing expenses were $714 and $8,820 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Advertising and marketing expenses are recorded in marketing and promotion on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximate their fair values based on the short duration of these instruments.

Net Loss per Common Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. All vested outstanding options and warrants are considered potential common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, options, warrants, RSUs and convertible notes have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The following table summarizes the securities that were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation:

SCHEDULE OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE DILUTIVE COMMON SHARES

Stock-based Compensation

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For stock options issued to employees and members of the board of directors for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised.

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value the stock options that are consistent with the process for valuing employee stock options noted above.

Grant income

Funding received under research grants for reimbursement of research and development expenses is recorded as grant income in the other (income) expense section of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense in the period of enactment.

The Company records valuation allowances against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company routinely evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets by assessing the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered based on all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, estimates of future taxable income, tax planning strategies and results of operations. Estimating future taxable income is inherently uncertain and requires judgment. In projecting future taxable income, historical results are considered along with certain assumptions related to future earnings. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a full valuation allowance applied against its deferred tax assets.

From time to time the Company may recognize an income tax benefit, in its consolidated statements of operations, related to uncertain tax positions taken. For uncertain tax positions that are “more likely than not” to sustain an income tax audit, the Company may record an allowance against certain deferred tax assets related to these positions. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Leases

A lease is defined as an agreement that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment (right of use asset or “ROU asset”) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company accounts for it leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, which requires that an ROU asset identified in a lease to be recorded as a noncurrent asset with a related liability. The Company does not record ROU assets for those agreements of a twelve-month duration or less. The Company recognized a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability on its balance sheets related to its office lease agreement. See Note 8 - Leases for further discussion, including the impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

ROU assets include any initial direct costs and prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and recorded as a component of operating expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 3 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company is a party to a license agreement with the SCTC (as amended) (the “SCTC Agreement”). Pursuant to the SCTC Agreement, the Company obtained, among other things, a worldwide (excluding Asia and Argentina), exclusive, royalty-bearing license from the SCTC to utilize or sublicense a certain method for culturing cells and a worldwide, exclusive, royalty-bearing license from the SCTC to utilize or sublicense a certain medical device patent for the administration of specific cells and/or cell products to the disc and/or spine (and other parts of the body). Pursuant to the license agreement with the SCTC, certain performance milestones (or payouts in lieu of performance milestones) had to be satisfied in order for the Company to maintain its exclusive rights with regard to the disc/spine technology (subject to the SCTC’s compliance with its obligations under the SCTC Agreement). The Company did not timely satisfy the third of these performance milestones (which needed to be satisfied by February 2022). Accordingly, such rights may currently be non-exclusive. The Company and the SCTC are currently negotiating the terms of an agreement confirming the exclusive nature of the license. No assurance can be given in this regard. In February 2017, the Company received authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) to proceed with a Phase 2 clinical trial. The Company has commenced such clinical trial. In March 2022, a United States patent relating to the Company’s BRTX-100 clinical program was issued. The patent along with the license agreement gave rise to definite lived intangible assets. The below table details the activity related to those intangible assets from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022:

SCHEDULE OF NOTES PAYABLE ACTIVITY 

On March 14, 2021, under the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), the Company entered into a note payable with a financial institution for $250,000 at an interest rate of 1% per annum and a maturity date of March 14, 2026. Pursuant to the note, principal and interest payments were deferred for ten months. At that time the Company was able to apply for loan forgiveness. At December 31, 2021, $250,000 was outstanding. On January 5, 2022, the total amount of the PPP loan was forgiven.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Series A Preferred

On November 8, 2021, in connection with the Company’s public offering, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a resolution allowing for the authorization of and issuance of 1,543,458 shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share, designated as Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A”). The Series A has a liquidation preference of $0.001 per share.

Dividends

Series A holders shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends on an equivalent basis without preference with the holders of the shares of the Company’s common stock based upon the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A is then convertible.

Voting Rights

Series A holders shall be entitled to vote on all matters presented to the stockholders of the Company and shall be entitled to such number of votes that equal the number of shares of common stock into which each share of Series A held may be converted; provided, however, that in no event shall a Series A holder be entitled to vote more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of common stock.

Conversion

Optional Conversion - Each share of Series A shall be convertible, at any time, at the option of the Series A holder, into one share of common stock; provided, however, that in no event shall a Series A holder be entitled to convert any shares of Series A to the extent that such conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the Series A holder of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock.

Automatic Conversion – If an event occurs which has the effect of reducing a Series A holder’s beneficial ownership of shares of common stock to less than 4.5% of the then publicly disclosed outstanding shares of common stock, then, within five business days thereafter, the Series A holder shall provide notice to the Company to such effect. Such notice shall have the effect of a notice of conversion such that the Series A holder’s post-conversion ownership of common stock will be 4.99% of the then publicly disclosed outstanding shares of common stock.

2021 Stock Incentive Plan

On March 18, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, a total of 1,175,000 shares of common stock are authorized to be issued pursuant to the grant of stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and other incentive awards. As of June 30, 2022, based on stock options and restricted stock units currently outstanding under the 2021 Plan, no shares remain available for future grants under the 2021 Plan.

Warrant and Option Valuation

The Company has computed the fair value of warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected term used for warrants and options issued to non-employees is the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued to employees and directors is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

Warrant Activity Summary

No warrants were granted or issued during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

A summary of the warrant activity during the six months ended June 30, 2022, is presented below:

Corporate History

Our offices are located in Melville, New York where we have established a laboratory facility in order to increase our capabilities for the further development of possible cellular-based treatments, products and protocols, stem cell-related intellectual property and translational research applications.

As of June 30, 2022, our accumulated deficit was $143.6 million. We have historically only generated a modest amount of revenue, and our losses have principally been operating expenses incurred in research and development, non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation, plus costs associated with meeting the requirements of being a public company. We expect to continue to incur substantial costs for these activities over at least the next year.

Business Overview

We develop therapeutic products and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult (non-embryonic) stem cells. We are currently pursuing our Disc/Spine Program with our initial investigational therapeutic product being called BRTX-100. In March 2022, a United States patent issued in our Disc/Spine Program. We submitted an IND application to the FDA to obtain authorization to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial investigating the use of BRTX-100, our lead cell therapy candidate, in the treatment of chronic lower back pain arising from degenerative disc disease. We have received such authorization from the FDA and have commenced such clinical trial through the execution of a CRO agreement with PRC Clinical, the execution of clinical trial agreements, the enrollment of patients in the clinical trials, the purchase of manufacturing equipment, the expansion of our laboratory to include capabilities for clinical production and the certification of our clinical grade cell therapy manufacturing facility. We have obtained a license to use technology for investigational adult stem cell treatment of disc and spine conditions, including protruding and bulging lumbar discs. The technology is an advanced stem cell injection procedure that may offer relief from lower back pain, buttock and leg pain, and numbness and tingling in the leg and foot. We are also developing our ThermoStem Program. This pre-clinical program involves the use of brown adipose (fat) in connection with the cell-based treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity as well as hypertension, other metabolic disorders and cardiac deficiencies. United States patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in September 2015, January 2019, March 2020, March 2021, and July 2021; Australian patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in April 2017, October 2019 and August 2021; Japanese patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in December 2017, June 2021, and February 2022; Israeli patents related to our ThermoStem Program were issued in October 2019, May 2020, and March 2022; and European patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in April 2020 and January 2021.

We have licensed a patented curved needle device that is a needle system designed to deliver cells and/or other therapeutic products or materials to the spine and discs or other potential sites. We anticipate that FDA approval or clearance will be necessary for this device prior to commercialization. We do not intend to utilize this device in connection with our contemplated Phase 2 clinical trial with regard to BRTX-100.

Revenue

We derived all of our revenue pursuant to a license agreement with the SCTC entered into in January 2012, as amended in November 2015. Pursuant to the license agreement, the SCTC granted to us a license to use certain intellectual property related to, among other things, stem cell disc procedures and we have granted to the SCTC a sublicense to use, and the right to sublicense to third parties the right to use, in certain locations in the United States and the Cayman Islands, certain of the licensed intellectual property. In consideration of the sublicenses, the SCTC has agreed to pay us royalties on a per disc procedure basis.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Our financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are summarized as follows in comparison to the three months ended June 30, 2021:

Revenues

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated $71,000 and $15,000, respectively, of royalty revenue in connection with our sublicense agreement. We do not expect that such increased level of revenues related to this agreement will continue in future periods.

Marketing and Promotion

Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, entertainment and travel expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, marketing and promotion expenses were insignificant. Marketing and promotion expenses for the prior year period included expenditures related to an advertising consulting agreement which was no longer in effect during 2022.

Consulting

Consulting expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, consulting expenses increased by $33,802, from $1,648 to $35,450, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to stock-based compensation of $23,210 issued to consultants during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Vice President of Research and Development; (b) our Scientific Advisory Board members; and (c) laboratory staff and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, research and development expenses increased by $914,326, or 568%, from $160,898 to $1,075,224, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, as we recommenced our research and development initiatives, including the engagement of PRC Clinical to serve as our CRO in connection with our clinical trials, following the completion of our public offering of common stock and warrants in November 2021.

We expect that our higher level of research and development expenses will continue in subsequent fiscal periods.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees (excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of our Vice President of Research and Development and our laboratory staff), as well as corporate expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy-related expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 6%, from $3.4 million to $3.6 million, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation related to various consultants and executives during three months ended June 30, 2022.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure, and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.

Interest expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, interest expense decreased $460,719, or 91%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was due to the exchange of our outstanding interest-bearing convertible debt for common and preferred shares and warrants in connection with our public offering in November 2021.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Our financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are summarized as follows in comparison to the six months ended June 30, 2021:

Revenues

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated $87,100 and $33,000, respectively, of royalty revenue in connection with our sublicense agreement. We do not expect that such increased level of revenues related to this agreement will continue in future periods.

Marketing and Promotion

Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, entertainment and travel expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, marketing and promotion expenses were insignificant.

We expect that marketing and promotion expenses will increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization of our products and services.

Consulting

Consulting expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, consulting expenses increased by $111,484, from $10,037 to $121,521, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to stock-based compensation of $96,030 issued to consultants who provided public relations services during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Vice President of Research and Development; (b) our Scientific Advisory Board members; and (c) laboratory staff and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, research and development expenses increased by $1,524,409, or 467%, from $326,152 to $1,850,561, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, as we recommenced our research and development initiatives, including the engagement of PRC Clinical to serve as our CRO in connection with our clinical trials, following the completion of our public offering of common stock and warrants in November 2021.

We expect that our higher level of research and development expenses will continue in subsequent fiscal periods.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees (excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of our Vice President of Research and Development and our laboratory staff), as well as corporate expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy-related expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses decreased by $10.5 million, or 57%, from $18.3 million to $7.8 million, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of approximately $10.5 million in stock-based compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2021, which related to grants issued to our executives.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure, and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.

Interest expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, interest expense decreased $1,030,382, or 93%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was due to the exchange of our outstanding convertible debt for common and preferred shares and warrants in connection with our public offering in November 2021.

Gain on PPP loan forgiveness

Under the terms of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), our $250,000 PPP loan was forgiven during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Grant income

Grant income of $16,654 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 consists of funding received under a $256,000 National Institutes of Health Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase 1 grant, which we were awarded in September 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

Availability of Additional Funds

Based upon our accumulated deficit of $143,637,519 as of June 30, 2022, along with our forecast for continued operating losses and our need for financing to fund our contemplated clinical trials, we will eventually require additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. However, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to continue our operations for the next twelve months from the date of this report.

Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund our clinical trials, working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.

We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or raise capital on favorable terms. Future financing may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.

Cash Flows

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,845,756 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to cash used to fund the net loss of $9,491,391, which was partially offset by non-cash expenses of $6,595,602 related primarily to stock-based compensation and $300,033 of cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,555,530 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to cash used to fund the net loss of $19,715,925 which was partially offset by non-cash expenses of $17,849,822 related primarily to stock-based compensation and $310,573 of cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $250,000, which related entirely to a loan received under the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and as such are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we are required to perform an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. As of June 30, 2022 our management has completed their evaluation and has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, and thus that there remains a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our assessment of internal controls over financial reporting does not include an evaluation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the quarter ended June 30, 2022 based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022 was not effective.

A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley, is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses:

Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weaknesses

Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include:

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than described above there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

There were no material changes in the Company’s risk factors from the risks disclosed in the Annual Report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use Of Proceeds

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we issued the following securities in transactions not involving any public offering. For each of the following transactions, we relied upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. For each such transaction, we did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities, the securities were offered to a limited number of persons, the investors had access to information regarding us (including information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022, and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and press releases made by us), and we were available to answer questions by prospective investors. We reasonably believe that each of the investors is an accredited investor.
