The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business

In 1965, the corporate predecessor of GT Biopharma, Diagnostic Data, Inc. was incorporated in the State of California. Diagnostic Data changed its incorporation to the State of Delaware in 1972. and changed its name to DDI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in 1985. In 1994, DDI Pharmaceuticals merged with International BioClinical, Inc. and Bioxytech S.A. and changed its name to OXIS International, Inc. In July 2017, the Company changed its name to GT Biopharma, Inc.

The Company is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel immuno-oncology products based off our proprietary Tri-specific Killer Engager (TriKE™), Tetra-specific Killer Engager (Dual Targeting TriKEDual Targeting TriKE) platforms. The Company’s TriKE and Dual Targeting TriKE platforms generate proprietary therapeutics designed to harness and enhance the cancer killing abilities of a patient’s own natural killer cells, or NK cells. Once bound to an NK cell, the Company’s moieties are designed to enhance the NK cell, and precisely direct it to one or more specifically-targeted proteins expressed on a specific type of cancer cell or virus infected cell, ultimately resulting in the targeted cell’s death. TriKEs and Dual Targeting TriKEs are made up of recombinant fusion proteins, can be designed to target any number of tumor antigens on hematologic malignancies, sarcomas or solid tumors and do not require patient-specific customization.

Going Concern

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a goingconcern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

The Company has incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $580 million and cash of $350 thousand as of September 30, 2020. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales of its products currently in development. Substantial additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to commercially develop its product candidates. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities revenues and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation and Comprehensive Income

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GT Biopharma, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted herein. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 27, 2020. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information presented herein reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company is responsible for the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this report. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable are monitored for exposure to concentrations of credit risk. The Company maintains substantially all of its cash balances in a limited number of financial institutions. The balances are each insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company had a balance of approximately $100,000 in excess of this limit at September 30, 2020.

Stock Based Compensation to Employees

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation for employees in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees over the related vesting period.

The Company granted no stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

Our long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, capitalized costs of filing patent applications and other indefinite lived intangible assets. We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment, other than indefinite lived intangible assets, in accordance with ASC 360, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Estimates of future cash flows and timing of events for evaluating long-lived assets for impairment are based upon management’s judgment. If any of our intangible or long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over its fair value.

GT BIOPHARMA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2020

(UNAUDITED)

Applicable long-lived assets are amortized or depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives, the estimated period that the assets will generate revenue, or the statutory or contractual term in the case of patents. Estimates of useful lives and periods of expected revenue generation are reviewed periodically for appropriateness and are based upon management’s judgment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually and whenever impairment indicators are present in accordance with ASC 350. When necessary, the Company records an impairment loss for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets. The fair value of intangible assets other than goodwill is typically determined using the “relief from royalty method”, specifically the discounted cash flow method utilizing Level 3 fair value inputs. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include: the amount and timing of the projected net cash flows, which includes the expected impact of competitive, legal and/or regulatory forces on the projections and the impact of technological risk associated with IPR&D assets, as well as the selection of a long-term growth rate; the discount rate, which seeks to reflect the various risks inherent in the projected cash flows; and the tax rate, which seeks to incorporate the geographic diversity of the projected cash flows.

The Company performs impairment testing for all other long-lived assets whenever impairment indicators are present. When necessary, the Company calculates the undiscounted value of the projected cash flows associated with the asset, or asset group, and compares this estimated amount to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount is found to be greater, we record an impairment loss for the excess of book value over fair value.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach, whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects, based on current enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between financial and tax reporting for current and prior periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if the corresponding future tax benefits may not be realized.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the potential dilutive effect of common shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding, convertible notes and debentures (including shares issuable upon conversion of accrued interest or other default amounts with respect to such convertible notes or debentures), stock options and warrants during the period. The weighted average number of potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the calculation of net income (loss) per share totaled in 114,887,906 and 73,520,680 as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Patents

Acquired patents are capitalized at their acquisition cost or fair value. The legal costs, patent registration fees and models and drawings required for filing patent applications are capitalized if they relate to commercially viable technologies. Commercially viable technologies are those technologies that are projected to generate future positive cash flows in the near term. Legal costs associated with patent applications that are not determined to be commercially viable are expensed as incurred. All research and development costs incurred in developing the patentable idea are expensed as incurred. Legal fees from the costs incurred in successful defense to the extent of an evident increase in the value of the patents are capitalized.

GT BIOPHARMA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2020

(UNAUDITED)

Capitalized cost for pending patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining twenty year legal life of each patent after the costs have been incurred. Once each patent is issued, capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the patent’s remaining statutory life, estimated economic life or ten years.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment and the shorter of the lease term or estimated economic life for leasehold improvements.

Fair Value

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels are defined as follows:

●

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. The Company’s Level 1 assets include cash equivalents, primarily institutional money market funds, whose carrying value represents fair value because of their short-term maturities of the investments held by these funds.

●

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. There were not such liabilities at September 30, 2020.

●

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. There were no such assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2020.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and reported as research and development expense. Research and development costs totaled $0.3 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

License Revenue

License arrangements may consist of non-refundable upfront license fees, exclusive licensed rights to patented or patent pending technology, and various performance or sales milestones and future product royalty payments. Some of these arrangements are multiple element arrangements.

Non-refundable, up-front fees that are not contingent on any future performance by us, and require no consequential continuing involvement on our part, are recognized as revenue when the license term commences and the licensed data, technology and/or compound is delivered. We defer recognition of non-refundable upfront fees if we have continuing performance obligations without which the technology, right, product or service conveyed in conjunction with the non-refundable fee has no utility to the licensee that is separate and independent of our performance under the other elements of the arrangement. In addition, if we have continuing involvement through research and development services that are required because our know-how and expertise related to the technology is proprietary to us, or can only be performed by us, then such up-front fees are deferred and recognized over the period of continuing involvement.

GT BIOPHARMA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2020

(UNAUDITED)

Payments related to substantive, performance-based milestones in a research and development arrangement are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the milestones as specified in the underlying agreements when they represent the culmination of the earnings process. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not generated any licensing revenue.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”). Topic 842 requires the entity to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting expense recognition in the income statement.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 applying the optional transition method, which allows an entity to apply the new standard at the adoption date with a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. As a result of adopting Topic 842, the Company recognized assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by operating leases totaling approximately $174 thousand.

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception based on whether it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. Substantially all of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The Company records operating lease right-of-use assets within “Other assets” and lease liabilities are recorded within “current and noncurrent liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. Lease expenses are recorded within “General and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease payments are presented within “Operating cash flows” in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term starting on the commencement date. The Company generally is not able to determine the rate implicit in its leases and, as such, applies an incremental borrowing rate based on the Company’s cost of borrowing for the relevant terms of each lease. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease terms may include an option to extend or terminate a lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components, and also has elected not to record a right-of-use asset or lease liability for leases which, at inception, have a term of twelve months or less. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

Debt

Convertible Notes/Debentures

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $23 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes and debentures (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”) outstanding that were issued pursuant to securities purchase agreements (or, in the case of the Settlement Notes (as defined herein), the Settlement Agreement (as defined herein)) entered into with numerous investors.

The Convertible Notes are convertible at any time, at the holder’s option, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations (which vary between maximum ownership of between 4.99% and 9.99%). The conversion price of the Convertible Notes is also generally subject to adjustment due to certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits and in connection with the issuance by the Company of common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share lower than the conversion price then in effect. The conversion price for each of the Company’s outstanding Convertible Notes is currently $0.20 per share. In addition, approximately $5.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Notes will be subject to mandatory conversion in connection with the completion of a future financing in the amount of at least $15 million, subject to the beneficial ownership limitations described above.

GT BIOPHARMA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2020

(UNAUDITED)

The Convertible Notes generally have terms of six months to one year and mature between August 2, 2019 and January 7, 2021, unless earlier converted or repurchased. The Convertible Notes each accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum, subject to increase to 18% per annum upon and during the occurrence of an event of default with respect to certain of the Convertible Notes. Interest is payable in cash or, with respect to certain of the Convertible Notes, and at the holder’s option, in shares of common stock based on the conversion price then in effect.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Notes, the Company is required to make an offer to repurchase, at the holder’s option, the Settlement Notes at price in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Settlement Note plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase following the consummation by the Company of a financing transaction, or a series of transactions, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company in excess of $7.5 million. Generally, the Company otherwise does not have the right to prepay any of the Convertible Notes without the prior written consent of the holders of such securities.

The Convertible Notes contain a number of affirmative and negative covenants and customary events of default. As of September 30, 2020, approximately $13.2 aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Notes were in default. See “Forbearance Agreements” below.

The securities purchase agreements and Settlement Agreement, as applicable, also generally contain certain ongoing covenants of the Company, including rights of participation in certain future financing transactions, limitations on future variable rate transactions and “at-the-market” offerings and “most favored nation” provisions giving holders of certain of the Convertible Notes the benefit of any terms or conditions under which the Company agrees to issue or sell any common stock or common stock equivalents that are more favorable to an investor than the terms and conditions granted to such holder under the applicable securities purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The Convertible Notes are senior obligations of the Company. In addition, approximately $8.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Convertible Notes are also secured by individual pledges by certain of our current and former officers and directors of our common stock owned by such officer and directors.

For additional information about the Convertible Notes, see Note 4, Debt to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Forbearance Agreements

On September 1, 2017, the Board designated 2,000,000 shares of Series J preferred stock (the “Series J Preferred Stock”). On the same day, the Board issued 1,513,548 shares of Series J Preferred Stock in exchange for the cancellation of certain indebtedness. In the first quarter of 2019, it was discovered that a certificate of designation with respect to the Series J Preferred Stock had never been filed with the Office of the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware. Despite the fact the Company had issued shares of Series J Preferred Stock, the issuance of those shares was not valid and was of no legal effect.

To remedy the situation, on April 4, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of designation with the Office of the Secretary State for the State of Delaware designating a series of preferred stock as the Series J-1 preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series J-1 Preferred Stock”). On April 19, 2019, the Company issued 2,353,548 shares of Series J-1 Preferred Stock. The issuance was in lieu of the Series J Preferred Stock that should have been issued on September 1, 2017, and in settlement for not receiving preferred stock until 20 months after the debt for which the stock was issued was cancelled. The Company reflected an expense in general and administrative costs in the quarter ended September 30, 2019 totaling $1,140,000.

Shares of the Series J-1 Preferred Stock are convertible at any time, at the option of the holders, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective conversion price of $0.20 per share, subject to adjustment for, among other things, stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, reclassifications of our capital stock and mergers or consolidations, and subject to a beneficial ownership limitation which prohibits conversion if such conversion would result in the holder (together with its affiliates) being the beneficial owner of in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s common stock. Shares of the Series J-1 Preferred Stock have the same voting rights a shares of the Company’s common stock, with the holders of the Series J-1 Preferred Stock entitled to vote on an as-converted-to-common stock basis, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation described above, together with the holders of the Company’s common stock on all matters presented to the Company’s stockholders. The Series J-1 Preferred Stock are not entitled to any dividends (unless specifically declared by the Board), but will participate on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis in any dividends to the holders of the Company’s common stock. In the event of the Company’s dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the holders of the Series J-1 Preferred Stock will be on parity with the holders of the Company’s common stock and will participate, on a on an as-converted-to-common stock basis, in any distribution to holders of the Company’s common stock.

Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel immuno-therapeutic products based on our proprietary Tri-specific Killer Engager (TriKE™) and Tetra-specific Killer Engager (Dual Targeting TriKE™) platform technologies. Our TriKE and Dual Targeting TriKE platforms generate proprietary therapeutic candidates that are designed to harness and enhance the immune response of a patient’s endogenous NK cells. Once bound to an NK cell, our platform moieties are designed to enhance the activity of NK cells, with targeted direction to one or more proteins expressed on a specific type of cancer cell or virus infected cell, ultimately resulting in targeted cell death. We have constructed our TriKEs and Dual Targeting TriKEs of recombinant fusion proteins that can be designed to target a wide array of tumor antigen that may be located on hematologic malignancies, sarcomas or solid tumors. Our TriKEs and Dual Targeting TriKEs do not require patient-specific or autologous customization.

We are using our TriKE and Dual Targeting TriKE platforms with the intent to bring to market products that treat a range of hematologic malignancies, sarcomas, solid tumors and selected infectious diseases. Our platforms are scalable, and in addition to our first clinical indication of our TriKE platform in relapsed or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia, we are preparing investigational new drug applications based on a specific TriKE or Dual Targeting TriKE design. We intend to continue to advance into the clinic, on our own or through potential collaborations with larger companies, multiple TriKE or Dual Targeting TriKE product candidates. We believe our TriKEs and Dual Targeting TriKEs may have the ability, if approved for marketing, to be used as monotherapy, be dosed concomitantly with current monoclonal antibody therapeutics, be used in conjunction with more traditional cancer therapy, and potentially overcome certain limitations of current chimeric antigen receptor therapy.

We are also using our TriKE and Dual Targeting TriKE platforms to develop therapeutics for the treatment of infectious diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”) and COVID-19 infection. For example, while the use of anti-retroviral drugs has substantially improved the morbidity and mortality of individuals infected with HIV, these drugs are designed to suppress virus replication and to help modulate progression to AIDS and to limit further transmission of the virus. Despite the use of anti-retroviral drugs, infected individuals retain reservoirs of latent HIV-infected cells that, upon cessation of anti-retroviral drug therapy, can reactivate and reestablish an active HIV infection. Destruction of these latent HIV infected cells is the primary objective of curative therapy. The HIV-TriKE is designed to target HIV while redirecting NK cell killing specifically to actively replicating HIV infected cells. The HIV-TriKE induced NK cell proliferation and demonstrated the ability in vitro to reactivate and kill HIV-infected T-cells. These findings indicate a potential role for the HIV-TriKE in the reactivation and elimination of the latently infected HIV reservoir cells by harnessing the NK cell’s ability to mediate the antibody-directed cellular cytotoxicity.

We have licensed the exclusive rights from the University of Minnesota to the TriKE and Dual Targeting TriKE platforms.

Recent Developments

Manufacturing Agreement

On October 5, 2020, we entered into a GMP manufacturing services agreement (the “MSA”) with Cytovance® Biologics, a USA-based contract development and manufacturing organization and a subsidiary of Hepalink (“Cytovance”), to manufacture three of our TriKE product candidates in accordance with GMP for use in clinical trials. Under the terms of the MSA, Cytovance will be the exclusive GMP manufacturer for three of the Company’s TriKE™ therapeutic product candidates: (1) GTB-C3550, which targets CD33+ hematological cancers; (2) GTB-4550, which targets PD-L1+ solid tumor cancers; and (3) GTB-5050, which targets B7H3+ solid tumor cancers. Cytovance will manufacture TriKE™ in accordance with GMP using Cytovance’s proprietary Keystone® E. coli bacterial or CHO mammalian expression systems. Subject to the completion of certain milestones by Cytovance, GT Biopharma has the option to pay Cytovance up to $6 million for its manufacturing services in either cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at the time Cytovance achieves each of several milestones over the next 12-14 months.

Collaboration Agreement

On March 10, 2020, we entered into a research collaboration agreement with Cytovance to provide development services for a TriKE therapeutic for the treatment of the coronavirus infection. Under the terms of the collaboration agreement, the companies will focus on preparing sufficient quantities of our coronavirus TriKE drug product for preclinical evaluation using Cytovance’s E. coli-based Keystone Expression System™. Upon successful preclinical evaluation in in vitro cell assays of COVID-19 infection and corresponding in vivo animal models of COVID-19 infection, we will scale-up production using Cytovance’s GMP microbial manufacturing platform for evaluation of TriKE in humans to treat the coronavirus infection.

For additional information about our convertible notes and debentures, see Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements, Debt.

Forbearance Agreements

Effective as of June 23, 2020, we entered into the Forbearance Agreements with the holders of approximately $13.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Default Notes, which are currently in default. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreements, the holders of the Default Notes have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the Default Notes (including declaring such Default Notes (together with default amounts and accrued and unpaid interest) immediately due and payable) until the earlier of (i) the date that we complete a New Financing or (ii) January 31, 2020 (the “Termination Date”).

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Research and Development Expenses

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred $0 and $.6 thousand of research and development expenses, respectively. Research and development costs decreased less clinical expenses. We anticipate our direct clinical costs will increase in the last quarter of 2020 with the continuation of our Phase I clinical trial of our most advanced TriKe product candidate, GTB-3550.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred $2 million and $3.6 million of selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable the reduction of payroll and stock compensation expenses.

Loss on impairment

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $4.6 million related to the portfolio of CNS IPR&D assets, which represents the excess carrying value compared to fair value. The impairment charge was the result the sale of certain assets and prioritization for immuno-oncology development candidates.

Interest Expense

Interest expenses were $.9 million and $.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the accrual of default interest under the Default Notes.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Research and Development Expenses

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred $252 thousand and $1.7 million of research and development expenses, respectively. Research and development costs decreased due primarily to the reduction of employee, consultant and preclinical expenses. We anticipate our direct clinical costs will increase in the 4th quarter of 2020 upon the continuation of our Phase I clinical trial of our most advanced TriKE product candidate, GTB-3550.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred $4.3 million and $8.9 million of selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable the reduction of payroll and stock compensation expenses.

Loss on impairment

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $4.6 million related to the portfolio of CNS IPR&D assets, which represents the excess carrying value compared to the fair value. The impairment charge was the result of the sale of certain assets and prioritization for immuno-oncology development candidates.

Interest Expense

Interest expenses were $6.2 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 respectively. The increase is primarily due to the accrual of default interest under the Default Notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s current operations have focused on business planning, raising capital, establishing an intellectual property portfolio, hiring, and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials. The Company does not have any product candidates approved for sale and has not generated any revenue from product sales. The Company has sustained operating losses since inception and expects such losses to continue over the foreseeable future. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company raised $5.7 million through a series of issuances of Convertible Notes. We anticipate that cash utilized for selling, general and administrative expenses will range between $1 and $2 million in the coming quarters, while research and development expenses will vary depending on clinical activities. The Company is pursuing several alternatives to address this situation, including the raising of additional funding through equity or debt financings. In order to finance existing operations and pay current liabilities over the next 12 months, the Company will need to raise an additional $18 million of capital.

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

The Company has incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $580 million and cash of $350 thousand as of September 30, 2020. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales or revenue from out-licensing of its products currently in development. Substantial additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to commercially develop its product candidates. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is currently evaluating different strategies to obtain the required funding for future operations. These strategies may include but are not limited to: public offerings of equity and/or debt securities, payments from potential strategic research and development, licensing and/or marketing arrangements with pharmaceutical companies. Management has also implemented cost saving efforts, including reduction in executive salaries and reduced travel. Management believes that these ongoing and planned financing endeavors, if successful, will provide adequate financial resources to continue as a going concern for at least the next nine months from the date the financial statements are issued; however, there can be no assurance in this regard. If the Company is unable to secure adequate additional funding, its business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider the following accounting policies to be critical given they involve estimates and judgments made by management and are important for our investors’ understanding of our operating results and financial condition.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements contained in this report include the accounts of GT Biopharma, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Long-Lived Assets

Our long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, capitalized costs of filing patent applications and goodwill and other assets. We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Estimates of future cash flows and timing of events for evaluating long-lived assets for impairment are based upon management’s judgment. If any of our intangible or long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over its fair value.

Certain Expenses and Liabilities

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates related to certain expenses and accrued liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material adverse impact on our business or operating results during the periods presented.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

This company qualifies as a smaller reporting company, as defined in 17 C.F.R. §229.10(f)(1) and is not required to provide information by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of September 30, 2020. Based on that evaluation we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2020 as a result of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting due to (i) inadequate segregation of duties, (ii) risks of executive override and (iii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both U.S. GAAP and SEC regulation, in each case, as described in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company is taking steps, and intends to take additional steps, to mitigate the issues identified and implement a functional system of internal control over financial reporting. Such measures will include, but not be limited to: hiring of additional employees in our finance and accounting department; preparation of risk-control matrices to identify key risks and develop and document policies to mitigate those risks; and identification and documentation of standard operating procedures for key financial and SEC reporting activities.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except for the ongoing remediation of the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting noted above, no changes in our internal control over financial reporting were made during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
