The consolidated financial statements include GeneThera, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary GeneThera, Inc. (Colorado) (collectively, the “Company”). The Company had a long-standing research collaboration with GTI Research.

 

The Company is a biotechnology company that develops molecular assays and therapeutics for the detection and treatment for COVID-19 and other zoonotic diseases.

 

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC.

 

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

 

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany accounts are eliminated upon consolidation.

 

 

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

 

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term financial instruments approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

 

Property and equipment consist primarily of office and laboratory equipment, leasehold improvements, vehicle, and is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or lease terms.

 

 

The Company follows ASC 820-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820-10 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820-10 are described below:

 

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Transactions involving related parties typically cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist.

 

 

Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

 

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets to determine whether events or changes in circumstances occurred that indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future cash flows of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value and carrying value. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations.

 

 

There were no revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The Company follows the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ASC 606 – Revenues from Contracts with Customers for revenue recognition. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the following criteria are met:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for under FASB ASC Topic No. 718 – . The guidance requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively the vesting period). The guidance also requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with guidance related to equity instruments that are issued to other than employees for acquisition, or in conjunction with selling, goods or services.

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 740 - . Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 

 

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are presented in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 260 – and are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share calculations includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in years with net income. As the Company is in a loss position, any calculation of the dilutive effects of the Company’s convertible securities would reduce the loss per share amount, and, as such, the Company will not perform the calculation.

 

 

 

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $32,677,702 and negative working capital of $8,542,764 as of September 30, 2022. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

Presently, the Company is considering ways to apply its molecular robotic technology to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Sections of this Form 10-Q, including the Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, contain “forward-looking statements”.  These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  You should not unduly rely on these statements.  Forward-looking statements involve assumptions and describe our plans, strategies, and expectations.  You can generally identify a forward-looking statement by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “plans,” “goal,” “potential,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intent,” “project,” and similar words and variations thereof.  This report contains forward-looking statements that address, among other things,

 

 

 

 

 

Factors, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements (“Cautionary Statements”) include, among others,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or anyone acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements.  We do not undertake any obligations to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect unanticipated events that may occur.

 

You should read the following discussion of our results and plan of operation in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.  Statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation that are not statements of historical or current objective fact are “forward-looking statements.”

 

 

We have developed proprietary diagnostic assays for use in the COVID-19 together with agricultural and veterinary markets.  Specific assays for COVID-19; Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) (among elk and deer) and Mad Cow Disease (among cattle) have been developed and are available currently on a limited basis.  E. coli (predominantly cattle) and Johne’s disease (predominantly cattle and bison) diagnostics are in development.  We are also working on vaccine solutions to meet the growing demands of today’s veterinary industry and tomorrow’s agriculture and healthcare industries.  The Company is organized and operated both to continually apply its scientific research to more effective management of diseases and, in so doing, realize the commercial potential of molecular biotechnology.

 

Our business model is based on the development of a proprietary Molecular Robotic/AI Laboratory Platform (“MORAP”), which would combine the use of advanced robotic laboratory systems integrated with AI software systems on a global scale. Upon development, MORAP would encompass a nationwide network of interactive molecular laboratories operated using advanced integrated robotic and machine learning cloud-based software systems, which would be able to share data and interact with each other. We believe MORAP would be capable of processing millions of samples and collecting, storing and analyzing data. We believe that MORAP nationwide communications network could be accomplished through advanced cloud-based software systems, machine learning and Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks. Upon development, MORAP could be readily replicated and scaled utilizing identical instrumentation and software.

 

We have not generated significant operating revenue as of June 30, 2022. Our ability to generate substantial operating revenue will depend on our ability to develop and obtain approval for molecular assays and developing therapeutic vaccines for the detection and prevention of food contaminating pathogens, veterinary diseases, and diseases affecting human health.

 

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their report on our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our net losses were $406,256 and $736,479, respectively.  Our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $8,542,764 and $8,177,968 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

We will require significant additional funding in order to achieve our business plan.  Over the next 12 months, in order to have the capability of achieving our business plan, we believe that we will require at least $40,000,000 in additional funding. We will attempt to raise these funds by both means of one or more private offerings of debt or equity securities.  In such events, we may need immediate additional funding.  Our capital requirements will depend on many factors including, but not limited to, the timing of further development of assays to detect the presence of infectious disease from the blood of live animals, our hiring of additional personnel, the applications for, and receipt of, regulatory approvals for any veterinary vaccines that we may develop, and other factors.  Our ability to raise capital will increase our ability to implement our business plan.

 

We also expect to spend a significant amount of our capital on research and development activities for commercialization relating to development and vaccine design/development.  When we are able to develop assays for different diseases, we intend to formalize the procedure into a commercial application through a series of laboratories to be owned and operated by GeneThera.  To date, we have introduced our diagnostic solution for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and Mad Cow Disease on a very limited basis.  We anticipate that significant funds will be spent on research and development throughout the life of the Company, as this is the source for new products to be introduced to the market.  Our plan is to seek new innovations in the robotic biotechnology field.  We may be successful in developing or validating any new assays and, when we are successful in developing and validating any such assays, we may be able to successfully commercialize them or earn profits from sales of those assays.  Furthermore, we may be able to design, develop, or successfully commercialize vaccines as a result of our research and development efforts.

Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and find no recent accounting pronouncements that would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

 

 

As of September 30, 2022, we had a total of two full-time employees who devoted substantial effort on our behalf. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining unit.  We entered into an employment agreement with Antonio Milici, M.D., Ph.D., to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer through January 31, 2025.  In consideration for his services, Dr. Milici will receive a base salary of $258,000 per annum plus bonuses as may be determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion.  As part of his employment agreement, Dr. Milici is subject to non-disclosure and non-competition obligations and has transferred to the Company all of his interests in any idea, concept, technique, invention or written work.  We also entered into an employment agreement with Tannya L. Irizarry to serve as our Chief Administrative Officer through January 31, 2025.  Since May 2006, Ms. Irizarry is also our Chief Financial Officer (Interim). Ms. Irizarry’s base salary is $208,000 per annum.   There are no employee issues at this time.

 

 

 

The company did not generate any revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

The company had total operating expenses of $125,017 and $242,220 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $117,203 from the prior period due in part to the recognition of stock-based compensation categorized as consulting fees during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

 

We had a net loss of $125,573 and $243,866 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, resulting in a decrease of $118,293 from the prior period due to the recognition of stock-based compensation categorized as consulting fees in the prior period.

 

 

The company did not generate any revenue for the nine months ended September30, 2022 and 2021.

 

The company had total operating expenses of $404,588 and $731,541 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $326,953 due to the recognition of stock-based expenses categorized as consulting fees in 2021.

 

We had a net loss of $ 406,256 and $736,479 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $330,223 from the prior period due to the recognition of stock-based expenses categorized as consulting fees.

 

 

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0. We have historically financed activities with cash from the private placement of equity and debt securities and advances from related parties. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is a substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. We have had negligible revenues since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $32,677,702 and negative working capital of $8,542,764 as of September 30, 2022.

 

Our current cash balance is not sufficient to fund our business objectives and we will need significant additional capital over the next 12-18 months in order to fund our planned operations. Specifically, we intend to spend significant funds on completing our robotic prototype system, validating and testing our products, seeking necessary regulatory approvals and focusing on international expansion. We will attempt to raise capital through one or more private offerings of debt or equity securities or both. We may not be able to secure the financing that we believe is necessary to implement our strategic objectives and, even if additional financing is secured, we may not achieve our strategic objectives. As of the date of this report, we do not have any firm commitments from any investors for any additional funding.

 

Our longer-term working capital and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including revenue and profit generation, pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, the timing and cost of obtaining regulatory approvals, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending, and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, competing technological and market developments, collaborative arrangements. Additional capital will be required in order to attain such goals. Such additional funds may not become available on acceptable terms, and we cannot give assurance that any additional funding that we do obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs in the long term.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to obtain additional working capital, our business may fail. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than operations. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flow from limited operations, augmented by cash proceeds from financing activities, short-term borrowings and equity contributions by our stockholders. We must raise cash to implement our projected plan of operations. Failure to obtain capital to fund short-term and long-term needs will likely result in the curtailment of our operations or cessation of certain aspects of our business strategy.

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet commitments or arrangements.
