NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Nature of Business – Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, LLC (LLC) was formed in July 12, 2017 as a Pennsylvania multi-member limited liability company. On December 1, 2018, the members of LLC contributed their interest to a newly formed corporation, Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, Inc (“Coeptis”). As of December 1, 2018, the LLC became a disregarded single-member limited liability company which is wholly owned by the newly formed corporation. On February 12, 2021, Vinings Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vinings”), merged (the “Merger”) with and into Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. On July 12, 2021, the company has legally changed its name from Vinings Holdings, Inc. to Coeptis Therapeutics, Inc. Coeptis was the surviving corporation of that Merger. As a result of the Merger, Vinings acquired the business of Coeptis and will continue the existing business operations of Coeptis as a wholly owned subsidiary. The Merger was treated as a recapitalization of the Company for financial accounting purposes. The historical financial statements of Vinings before the Merger were replaced with the historical financial statements of Coeptis before the Merger in all future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). 

  

The Company is located in Wexford, PA, and engages primarily in the acquisition, development, and commercialization of pharmaceutical products. 

 

Merger - On April 18, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with BH Merger Sub, Inc., (“Merger Sub”) a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Bull Horn Holdings Corp., a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (together with its successors, including after giving effect to the Domestication as described below, “Bull Horn” or the “Purchaser”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) prior to the Closing (as defined below), Bull Horn will re-domicile from the British Virgin Islands to the State of Delaware through a statutory re-domestication (the “Domestication”), and (ii) upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Coeptis (the “Merger” and, together with the Domestication and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), with Coeptis continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bull Horn (after the Domestication).

 

Prior to the Merger, all outstanding shares of Coeptis preferred stock will convert or exchange their shares of preferred stock for shares of Coeptis common stock at the applicable ratio in Coeptis organizational documents (the “Preferred Stock Exchange”).

 

In the Merger, (i) all shares of Coeptis common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than those properly exercising any applicable dissenters rights under Delaware law), but after giving effect to the Preferred Stock Exchange, will be converted into the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration (as defined below), (ii) certain issued and outstanding warrants to acquire shares of Coeptis stock (the “Specified Warrants”) will be assumed by Bull Horn and converted into a warrant for shares of Bull Horn common stock with its price and number of shares equitably adjusted based on the conversion of the shares of Coeptis common stock into the Merger Consideration (each, an “Assumed Warrant”), (iii) certain outstanding convertible debt of Coeptis (the “Coeptis Convertible Debt”) will be assumed by Bull Horn and be convertible into common stock of Bull Horn (the “Assumed Convertible Debt”) and (iv) any other outstanding securities with the right to convert into or acquire equity securities of Coeptis or its subsidiaries will be terminated. At the Closing, Bull Horn will change its name to “Coeptis Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.”.

The aggregate Merger consideration received by Coeptis security holders from Bull Horn at the Closing will have an aggregate value equal to (the “Merger Consideration”) (i) $175,000,000, minus (or plus if positive), (ii) the amount of Coeptis’ outstanding indebtedness as of immediately prior to the Closing (excluding Permitted Debt, as described below), net of its cash as of immediately prior to the Closing, minus (iii) the amount of Coeptis’ outstanding unpaid transaction expenses and transaction bonuses as of the Closing. The Merger Consideration will be payable, (a) in the case of Coeptis stockholders, solely in new shares of Bull Horn common stock, with each share of Bull Horn common stock valued at the price per share (the “Redemption Price”) at which each Bull Horn share of common stock is redeemed or converted pursuant to the redemption by Bull Horn of its public shareholders in connection with Bull Horn’s initial business combination, as required by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and Bull Horn’s initial public offering prospectus (the “Closing Redemption”), and (b) with respect to the holders of the Specified Warrants, by the assumption of such warrants by Bull Horn as Assumed Warrants. The Merger Consideration deliverable to Coeptis stockholders will be allocated pro rata after giving effect to the Preferred Stock Exchange and deducting the value attributable to the Assumed Warrants as if the Specified Warrants that become Assumed Warrants were exercised on a net exercise basis as of immediately prior to the Closing.

 

The Coeptis Convertible Debt, along with (i) certain other outstanding indebtedness of Coeptis as of the date of the Merger Agreement (which together with the Coeptis Convertible Debt, has aggregate outstanding obligations of approximately $3.9 million as of the date of the Merger Agreement), and (ii) certain other indebtedness that Coeptis is permitted to incur between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the Closing, will not affect the Merger Consideration payable to Coeptis security holders (the Coeptis Convertible Debt and such other indebtedness, “Permitted Debt”).

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, any adjustments contained in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are of a normal recurring nature, and are necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2022, along with its results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Interim financial statements are prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. 

  

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coeptis Therapeutics Inc., Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, LLC. All material intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated. 

 

Risks and Uncertainties - In late 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of the Coronavirus 2019 Disease (COVID-19) was identified and infections have been found in a number of countries around the world, including the United States. COVID-19 and its impact on trade including customer demand, travel, employee productivity, supply chain, and other economic activities has had, and may continue to have, a potentially significant effect on financial markets and business activity. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance is currently uncertain and cannot be predicted.

  

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2022. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, except for items mentioned below. 

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which it relies are reasonable based upon information available at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s accounting estimates include the useful lives of long-lived assets and recoverability of those assets, and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements - The Company has implemented all new applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and management does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Going Concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of American (GAAP), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financials or establish itself as a profitable business. As of the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company had accumulated deficit of $62,181,367. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with respect to operations include raising additional capital through sales of equity or debt securities as may be necessary to pursue its business plans and sustain operations until such time as the Company can achieve profitability. Management believes that additional financing as necessary will result in improved operations and cash flow. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in obtaining additional funding or in attaining profitable operations.

  

NOTE 3 – LICENSE RIGHT

 

In 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a foreign entity to market, distribute, and sell the Consensi product (Product) on an exclusive basis within the United States and Puerto Rico. Upon execution of the Agreement the Company paid $1,000,000 to the foreign entity. Milestone payments were due as follows; (1) $1,500,000 upon completion of the CMC Plan as reimbursements of costs incurred by the foreign entity, (2) $1,000,000 was due upon first commercial sale of the Product which occurred in June 2020. Milestones were met and paid as of September 30, 2022.

 

In September of 2021, the Company executed a license termination agreement with the foreign entity to cease all efforts for sales and promotion of the product in the United States and Puerto Rico. The termination included (i) issuance of $1,500,000 of convertible debt due in 2023 to satisfy amounts owed for the license, (ii) the issue of warrants (See NOTE 5) and (iii) transfer of inventory ownership back to the foreign entity. In conjunction with this termination, the Company also terminated its marketing agreement with a third party for the Product’s sales and promotion.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company and VyGen-Bio, Inc. (“Vy-Gen”) entered into agreements to jointly develop and commercialize two Vy-Gen product candidates, CD38-GEAR-NK and CD38-Diagnostic (the “CD38 Assets”). The Company paid $1,750,000 and issued promissory notes totaling $3,250,000 to Vy-Gen in accordance with the agreements. The collaboration arrangement provides the right for the Company to participate, under the direction of a joint steering committee, in the development and commercialization of the CD38 Assets and a 50/50 profit share, with the profit share subject to contingent automatic downward adjustment up to 25% upon an event of default in connection with the promissory notes. The Company capitalized $5,000,000 to be amortized over a five-year period in which the CD38 Assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. In March of 2022, a $250,000 payment was made toward the promissory notes. As of September 30, 2022, the balance due under the two promissory notes totaled $1,500,000, with a maturity date of November 15, 2022. The Company is in compliance with the option agreement as of September 30, 2022.

 

The Company made certain judgements as the basis in determining the accounting treatment of these options. The CD38 Assets represent a platform technology and a diagnostic tool which have multiple applications and uses. Both projects are intended to be used in more than one therapy or diagnostic option. For example, GEAR-NK is a technology which allows for the gene editing of human natural killer cells, so that these cells can no longer bind and be destroyed by targeted monoclonal antibody treatments. The GEAR-NK technology can be modified to work concomitantly with many different monoclonal antibody treatments in which there are currently over 100 approved by the FDA. Anti-CD38 is only the first class of monoclonal antibody treatments being developed under the GEAR-NK platform. Therefore, the pursuit of FDA approval for the use of CD38 assets for at least one indication or medical device approval is at least reasonably expected. Further, as the diagnostic asset may be used as an in vitro technology, it could be classified as a medical device, and therefore toxicity studies would not be a contingency to be resolved before reasonably establishing future value assumptions. In addition, there is perceived value in the CD38 assets, based on publicly disclosed current business deals in cell therapies, the developing market for these innovative technologies, and current interest from third parties in these technologies. The Company may sell or license its right to another party, with the written consent of VyGen Bio, which cannot be unreasonably withheld. Furthermore, the Company believes that any negative results from ongoing development of a single therapy or use, would not result in abandoning the project. Given these considerations, The Company has determined that these options have alternative future use and should be recorded as assets pursuant to ASC 730-10-25-2.

Related to the joint development, Coeptis, under the direction of the joint steering committee, is assessing market opportunities, intellectual property protection, and potential regulatory strategies for the CD38 Assets. VyGen Bio is responsible for development activities conducted and overseen by the scientists at Karolinska Institute. The agreement does not currently require additional payments for R&D costs by Coeptis and no additional payments are required upon development or regulatory milestones.

This Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 12E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including or related to our future results, certain projections and business trends. Assumptions relating to forward-looking statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. When used in this Report, the words “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate, and we may not realize the results contemplated by the forward-looking statement. Management decisions are subjective in many respects and susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our business strategy or capital expenditure plans that may, in turn, affect our results of operations. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included in this Report, you should not regard the inclusion of such information as our representation that we will achieve any strategy, objective or other plans. The forward-looking statements contained in this Report speak only as of the date of this Report as stated on the front cover, and we have no obligation to update publicly or revise any of these forward-looking statements. These and other statements which are not historical facts are based largely on management’s current expectations and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, the failure to successfully develop a profitable business, delays in identifying customers, and the inability to retain a significant number of customers, as well as the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” section to our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

 

When we use works like “we,” “us”, “our,” the “company” and words of the like, unless otherwise indicated, we are referring to the operations of us and our wholly-owned subsidiary Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Coeptis”).

 

Objective

 

The objective of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is to provide users of our financial statements with the following:

 

  · A narrative explanation from the perspective of management of our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect future results;

 

  · Useful context to the financial statements; and

 

  · Information that allows assessment of the likelihood that past performance is indicative of future performance.

 

Our MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read together with, our unaudited financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Overview and Outlook

 

Our company, Coeptis Therapeutics, Inc. (“Coeptis Therapeutics”), is a holding company that conducts its current operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Coeptis”). We are a pharmaceutical company which owns, acquires, and develops drug products and pharmaceutical technologies which offer improvements to current therapies. Our products and technologies are intended to be commercialized in the US and worldwide markets. Since Coeptis’ inception in 2017, it has acquired and commercialized two drug products for the U S market, which were approved as 505b2 applications. These anti-hypertension products were launched into the US market during 2020 through a marketing partner. At launch, the sales and promotional efforts were significantly impeded by the limitation of the global pandemic and as such, we have since abandoned all activities and ownership pertaining to both products. We also began the development of several ANDA products which we divested in 2019 to a larger generic pharmaceutical drug manufacturer, and have moved away from focusing on the commercialization of generic products. In early 2021, we entered into strategic partnerships to co-develop improved therapies for the auto-immune and oncology markets. Following the reverse merger transaction involving us and Coeptis, we continue to focus on identifying and investing resources into innovative products and technologies which we believe will significantly transform Coeptis’ current products and therapies.

 

During 2020 and continuing through 2021, Coeptis faced several operational challenges related to the COVID-19 global pandemic, which we continue to work to overcome. The launch of both 5050b2 products was impacted because of various COVID-19 limitations, most notably field sales personnel were not able to make healthcare provider visits in person; thereby limiting the awareness of the availability of these products. We explored and implemented several non-personal promotion efforts, but given the global limitations and dynamics, it was challenging to achieve expected sales. We have since abandoned all activities and ownership pertaining to both products.

 

In May 2021, we entered into two exclusive option agreements (the “CD38 Agreements”) relating to separate technologies designed to improve the treatment of CD38-related cancers (e.g., multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and acute myeloid leukemia) with VyGen-Bio, Inc. (“Vy-Gen”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Vycellix, Inc., a Tampa, Florida-based private, immuno-centric discovery life science company focused on the development of transformational platform technologies to enhance and optimize next-generation cell and gene-based therapies, including T cell and Natural Killer (NK) cell-based cancer therapies.

 

The CD38 Agreements relate to two separate Vy-Gen drug product candidates, as follows:

 

CD38-GEAR-NK. This Vy-Gen drug product candidate is designed to protect CD38+ NK cells from destruction by anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies, or mAbs. CD38-GEAR-NK is an autologous, NK cell-based therapeutic that is derived from a patient’s own cells and gene-edited to enable combination therapy with anti-CD38 mAbs. We believe CD38-GEAR-NK possesses the potential to minimize the risks and side effects from CD38-positive NK cell fratricide.

 

Market Opportunity. We believe CD38-GEAR-NK could potentially revolutionize how CD38-related cancers are treated, by protecting CD38+ NK cells from destruction by anti-CD38 mAbs, thereby promoting the opportunity to improve the treatment of CD38-related cancers, including multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and acute myeloid leukemia.

 

Multiple myeloma is expected to be the first cancer indication targeted with CD38-GEAR-NK. The global multiple myeloma market was $19.48B in 2018 and is expected to reach $31B by 2026 [Source: Fortune Business Reports].

 

CD38-Diagnostic. This Vy-Gen product candidate is an in vitro diagnostic tool to analyze if cancer patients might be appropriate candidates for anti-CD38 mAb therapy. CD38-Diagnostic is an in vitro screening tool that provides the ability to pre-determine which cancer patients are most likely to benefit from targeted anti-CD38 mAb therapies, either as monotherapy or in combination with CD38-GEAR-NK. CD38-Diagnostic also has the potential to develop as a platform technology beyond CD38, to identify patients likely to benefit for broad range of mAb therapies across myriad indications.

 

 

 

 

 23 

 

 

Market Opportunity. We believe CD38-Diagnostic provides opportunity to make more cost-effective medical decisions for the treatment of B cell malignancies with high CD38 expression, including multiple myeloma, which may help to avoid unnecessary administration of anti-CD38 therapies. CD38-Diagnostic could prevent patients from being subjected to ineffective therapy and enable significant savings to healthcare systems.

 

CD38-Diagnostic could be offered as a companion diagnostic for determining patient suitability and likelihood of positive treatment outcomes for CD38-GEAR-NK and/or CD38 monoclonal antibody therapies.

 

GEAR-NK Product Overview. GEAR-NK is an autologous, gene-edited, natural killer cell-based therapeutic development platform that allows for modified NK cells to be co-administered with targeted mAbs, which, in the absence of the GEAR-NK, would otherwise be neutralized by mAb therapy.

 

In May 2021, we made initial payments totaling $750,000 under the CD38 Agreements, to acquire the exclusive options to acquire co-development rights with respect to CD38-GEAR-NK and CD38-Diagnostic. On August 15, 2021, we entered into amendments to each of the CD038 Agreements. In connection with the two amendments, we delivered to VyGen promissory notes aggregating $3,250,000 with maturity dates of December 31, 2021, and made a cash payment of $1,000,000, upon which cash payment we exercised the two definitive option purchase agreements. In December 2021, we completed our payment obligations to secure the 50% ownership interest in the CD38-Diagnostic, and also entered into an amendment of the CD038-GEAR-NK promissory note to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2022 and to increase the scalable downward adjustment percentage for the CD38-GEAR-NK product candidate to 25%. Pursuant to the CD038-GEAR-NK amendment, if the promissory note is timely paid by November 15, 2022, Coeptis will maintain its 50% ownership interest in the CD38-GEAR-NK product candidate, and if the CD38-GEAR-NK promissory note is not timely paid by November 15, 2022, Coeptis’ ownership interest in such assets will automatically be reduced to 25% and the promissory note will be automatically cancelled and will no longer be due or payable. Details of the two August amendments and the December amendment are summarized in the amendments attached at Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 19, 2021 and Exhibits 4.2 to the our Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 27, 2021.

 

In connection with the Vy-Gen relationship and the Company’s ownership in the two product candidates described above, in December 2021 the Company and Vy-Gen entered into a co-development and steering committee agreement. The co-development and steering committee agreement provides for the governance and economic agreements between the Company and Vy-Gen related of the development of the two Vy-Gen drug product candidates and the revenue sharing related thereto, including each company having a 50% representation on the steering committee and each company receiving 50% of the net revenues related to the Vy-Gen product candidates (scalable downward to 25% for the CD38-GEAR-NK as described above). Details of the co-development and steering committee agreement are summarized in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 27, 2021, including Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 thereto.

 

Vici Health Sciences, LLC. In partnership with Vici Health Sciences, LLC (“Vici”), we are co-developing a drug product, CPT60621 – a focus on Parkinson’s Disease. Through this partnership, Vici and Coeptis would co-develop, seek FDA approval and share ownership rights to CPT60621.

 

CPT60621 – a focus on Parkinson’s Disease. CPT60621 is a novel, ready to use, easy to swallow, oral liquid version of an already approved drug used for the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). The currently approved dosage form is only available as an oral solid tablet which can be difficult to swallow for some PD patients. Per Symphony Health data, an estimated 555,000 prescriptions are dispensed per year for the oral solid tablet version alone.

 

PD affected nearly 1,000,000 people in the U.S. in 2020, and nearly 10,000,000 people worldwide. Experts also predict that the PD affected rate is expected to increase at a rate of 2.2% per year for the next 10 years. The direct medical cost to treat PD is estimated to be over $25 billion per year, in which $4.1 billion of that is in medication cost alone.

 

Typical PD symptoms include thinking difficulties, uncontrolled shaking and tremors, loss of automatic movements, rigidity, and eating, speaking, and swallowing difficulties. During the course of their disease, nearly 80% of PD patients will develop a condition known as dysphagia which is defined as difficulty or discomfort in swallowing. Oral liquid dosage forms are easier to swallow than oral solid dosage forms. PD patients who suffer from dysphagia often must crush and dissolve tablets in juice in order to consume their medication. In more extreme cases, feeding tubes are utilized. This is costly to the healthcare system and is simply impractical.

 

 

 

 24 

 

 

CPT60621 can be administered to the patient using an easy-to-use oral syringe, eliminating time consuming, costly, and uncontrolled tablet crushing. This novel dosage form, if approved, we believe will fulfill a market need and provide a beneficial treatment option for many PD patients.

 

As we continue to direct our operational focus towards the Vy-Gen opportunities described elsewhere herein, we have recently shifted away from allocating priority resources to CPT60621.

 

We expect to generate revenue from product sales and technology licensing. We cannot be certain of the timing of this revenue and will likely need funding to support continuing operations and support our growth strategy. We may have to finance operations by offering any combination of equity offerings, debt financing, collaborations, strategic alliances, or other licensing arrangements.

 

Our Results of Operations

 

Revenue. To date, we have generated minimal revenue mostly from consulting arrangements and product sales. Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic and the resulting market dynamics, it is uncertain if the current marketed products can generate sufficient sales to cover expenses. If our strategic business discussions progress to agreements, we expect to generate additional revenue from collaboration partners.

 

Operating Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel and professional fees for consulting services related to regulatory, pharmacovigilance, quality, legal, and business development. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support the business growth. We also anticipate that we will incur increased accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, compliance, insurance, and investor relation expenses associated with operating as a public company.

 

Research and developments costs will continue to be dependent on the strategic business collaborations and agreements will are anticipating in the future.

 

We expect development costs to increase to support our new strategic initiatives.

  

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021

 

Revenues. Revenues, which were generated from consulting agreements of $0 and $75,000 recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 respectively, continue to be minimal. The Company’s activities primarily include product development, raising capital, and building infrastructure. Management does not expect the Company to generate any significant revenue for at least the next two years, during which time drug development will continue toward the goal of commercializing, through a partnership or otherwise, one or more of the Company’s target products or technologies.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Overview. Operating expenses decreased from $6,947,898 in the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $5,568,709 in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is mainly due to lower professional services fees, as well as warrant expense.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, general and administrative expenses are included in operating expenses. All costs incurred can be attributed to the planned principal operations of product development, raising capital, and building infrastructure. In addition, a substantial amount of General and Administrative Expenses resulted from warrant expense. The warrants issued as of September 30, 2022 were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: 1) exercise price ranging from $1.00 to $5.00 per share, 2) fair value ranging from $4.80 to $6.00 per share, 3) discount rate ranging from 1.15% to 2.31%, 3) dividend rate of 0%, and 4) a term ranging from 2 to 5 years. General and Administrative Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $5,488,539 and was $6,759,339 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Management may separate out G&A expenses in 2022 and 2021, especially if new personnel are hired consistent with the Company’s financial regulatory and filings obligations as a publicly traded entity.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $56,423 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and was $188,559 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Interest was related to notes payable, which are discussed in detail in the Footnotes to the financial statements, incorporated by reference herein..

 

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021

 

Revenues. Revenues, which were generated from consulting agreements of $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and $75,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company’s activities primarily include product development, raising capital, and building infrastructure. Management does not expect the Company to generate any significant revenue for at least the next two years, during which time drug development will continue toward the goal of commercializing, through a partnership or otherwise, one or more of the Company’s target products or technologies.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Overview. Operating expenses increased from $11,347,048 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $31,152,697 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is mainly due to higher professional services related to the merger transaction, as well as warrant expense.

  

General and Administrative Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, general and administrative expenses are included in operating expenses. All costs incurred can be attributed to the planned principal operations of product development, raising capital, and building infrastructure. In addition, a substantial amount of General and Administrative Expenses result from warrant expense. The warrants issued as of September 30, 2022 were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: 1) exercise price ranging from $1.00 to $5.00 per share, 2) fair value ranging from $4.80 to $6.00 per share, 3) discount rate ranging from 1.15% to 2.31%, 3) dividend rate of 0%, and 4) a term ranging from 2 to 5 years. General and Administrative Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $30,948,831 and was $11,077,747 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Management may separate out G&A expenses in 2022 and 2021, especially if new personnel are hired consistent with the Company’s financial regulatory and filings obligations as a publicly traded entity.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $176,068 and $266,382 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest was related to notes payable, which are discussed in detail in the Footnotes to the financial statements, incorporated by reference herein.

 

Financial Resources and Liquidity. The Company had limited financial resources during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 with cash and cash equivalents of $2,179,558. For the period ending September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents increased to $7,370,909. During both these time periods, the Company continues to operate a minimal infrastructure in order to maintain its ability to fund operations, keep full focus on all product development targets and to stay current with all of the Company’s scientist consultants, legal counsel, and accountants. During 2022, the Company believes that the ability to raise capital through equity transactions will increase liquidity and enable the execution of management’s operating strategy.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information under this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

 

 

 26 

 

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, and as a result of the material weaknesses described below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.

 

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K contains information regarding a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. For example, the Company lacked adequate segregation of duties which led to situations where individuals had access to both initiate and approve transactions with no additional formal review process.

 

In an effort to address the Company’s internal accounting personnel deficiencies, in February 2021 we hired a consulting group to assist our Chief Financial Officer. Accordingly, the Company believes, based on its knowledge, that: (i) this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report; and (ii) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this quarterly report.
