GENETHERA, INC.
March 31, 2022
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies
Organization and nature of operations
The consolidated financial statements include GeneThera, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary GeneThera, Inc. (Colorado) (collectively, the “Company”). The Company is a biotechnology company that develops molecular assays and therapeutics for the detection and treatment for COVID-19 and other zoonotic diseases.
Basis of Presentation – Unaudited Financial Information
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.
Use of estimates
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.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany accounts are eliminated upon consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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, net
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.
F-5 |
Table of Contents |
Fair Value Measurements
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:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
|
|
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
|
|
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
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.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
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.
Revenue recognition
There were no revenues as of March 31, 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:
1) | identification of the contract with a customer; |
2) | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
3) | determination of the transaction price; |
4) | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
5) | recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is recognized when each performance obligation is satisfied by the entity. An estimate of the variable consideration or performance obligations that an entity ultimately expects to be entitled to is included in the transaction price, and revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of the related performance obligation(s). An implicit or explicit significant financing component is taken into consideration. IP licenses must be analyzed. Each contract with customers is analyzed for multiple elements if any element must stand alone. |

Table of Contents |
Leases
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach and will recognize a right of use (“ROU”) asset and liability in the consolidated balance sheet when and if the Company enters into a qualifying lease agreement.
At contract inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease and whether the lease should be classified as an operating or a financing lease. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is determined based on the right to obtain all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset. ROU assets for operating leases represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments.
The Company has no leased laboratory space and a month-to-month office space lease. No right of use asset and liability were recorded for this lease.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for under FASB ASC Topic No. 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation. 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.
Research and development costs
R&D cost are currently expensed as incurred and primarily include cost associated with R&D arrangements with external parties in connection with the Company’s robotic technology project.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 740 - Income Taxes. 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 common share
Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are presented in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 260 – Earnings per Share 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.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees in accordance with paragraph 605-45-45-19 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. While amounts charged to customers for shipping products are included in revenues, the related costs are classified in cost of revenue as incurred.
Shipping and handling costs were $0 and $0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
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 found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Note 2 - Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $32,404,191 and negative working capital of $8,309,393 as of March 31, 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 condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Property and Equipment
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had a vehicle with a net book value of $3,960.

Office Space Lease
The Company has a temporary office space on a month-to-month basis. No right of use asset or liability has been recorded on the balance sheet.
Note 9 - Subsequent events
The impact of COVID-19 on the Company is unknown at this time. The financial consequences of this situation cause uncertainty as to the future and its effects on the economy and the Company.
The Russia – Ukraine conflict is a global concern. The Company does not have any direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine through its operations, employee base, investments or sanctions. The Company does not receive goods or services sourced from those countries, does not anticipate any disruption in its supply chain and has no business relationships, connections to or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. No impairments to assets have been made due to the conflict. The global oil industry has been impacted by this situation, but the Company’s operations and business in the Middle East has not been disrupted to date. The increase in oil producing activities in the United States has benefitted the Company’s operations. We are unable at this time to know the full ramifications of the Russia – Ukraine conflict and its effects on our business.
Presently the Company is considering ways to apply its molecular robotic technology to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of March 31, 2022, no additional conversions of convertible notes have occurred, and no new convertible notes have been issued.

OVERVIEW
We have developed proprietary diagnostic assays for use in the agricultural and veterinary markets. Specific assays for 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 March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our operating losses were $132,745 and $206,241, respectively. Our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $8,309,393 and $7,840,485 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
We will require significant additional funding in order to achieve our business plan. 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.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has an outstanding loan and accrued interest payable to Tannya Irizarry, its CFO interim and stockholder, amounting to $51,472 and $71,027 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. This outstanding loan to the Company is unsecured and bears interest at 8%.

GTI Corporate Transfer Agents, LLC is the Company’s transfer agency. Tannya Irizarry is a board member and also has a 50% ownership and/or interest. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company paid GTI Corporate Transfer Agents, LLC $0 and $80, respectively.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
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.
EMPLOYEES
As of March 31, 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. There are no employee issues at this time. All accrued salaries have been deferred.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2022 and 2021
The company did not generate any revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
The company had total operating expenses of $132,189 and $204,595 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For both periods the operating expenses primarily consist of accrued officers’ salaries and general and administrative expenses to maintain the entity while seeking a target for its solutions and capital raise efforts.
We had a net loss of $132,745 compared to a net loss of $206,241 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $72,000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 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 $32,404,191 and negative working capital of $8,309,393 as of March 31, 2022.
Our current cash balance is not sufficient to fund our business objectives and we will need significant additional capital over the next twelve 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.
We had total assets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of $3,960, and $6,302, respectively which included the net book value of a vehicle.
We had total liabilities of $8,309,393 as of March 31, 2022 which included $91,070 of accounts payable, $7,403,460 of accrued liabilities and $814,863 of notes and loans payable and other liabilities.
Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $3,593 compared to no cash used in or provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $132,745 and $206,241, respectively.
GOING CONCERN
It is estimated that we will require outside capital for the next twelve (12) months for the commercialization of GeneThera molecular assays as well as the development of our therapeutic vaccines. The Company intends to raise these funds by means of one or more private offerings of debt or equity securities or both. The Company is still in discussions with one or two groups to obtain financing through equity. No definitive agreements have been signed. There are no guarantees whether the Company will be able to secure such financing, and if the financing is secured, there are no guarantees whether the Company can achieve the goals laid out in its business plan fully. We will require significant additional funding in order to achieve our business plan.
Presently, the Company is considering ways to apply its molecular robotic technology to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
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, and 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 any 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.
In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling debt or equity securities, selling assets, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders.
The Company has no off-balance sheet commitments or arrangements.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is committed to improving financial organization. As part of this commitment, management and the Board perform reviews of the Company’s policies and procedures as they relate to financial reporting in an effort to mitigate future risks of potential misstatements. The Company will continue to focus on developing and documenting internal controls and procedures surrounding the financial reporting process, primarily through the use of account reconciliations, and supervision.
