PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Operations

Kannalife, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on March 25, 2013 under the name TYG Solutions Corp. The Company consummated a share exchange transaction on July 25, 2018 with Kannalife Sciences, Inc. (“Kannalife”), a privately held Delaware corporation formed in 2010, the accounting acquirer. Upon completion of the share exchange transaction, Kannalife is treated as the surviving entity and accounting acquirer although the Company was the legal acquirer. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Kannalife the surviving entity and accounting acquirer. All references that refer to (the “Company” or “we” or “us” or “our”) are Kannalife, unless otherwise differentiated. Kannalife is a phytomedical/pharmaceutical company that specializes in the research and development of synthetic molecules and therapeutic products derived from botanical sources, including the cannabis taxa.

Share Exchange and Corporate Restructuring

On July 25, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Kannalife Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kannalife”) and certain stockholders of Kannalife (the “Kannalife Stockholders”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired approximately 99.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Kannalife by means of a share exchange with the Kannalife Stockholders in exchange for 60,324,141 newly issued shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Share Exchange”), which increased the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock to 69,854,141. As a result of the Share Exchange, Kannalife became a 99.7% owned subsidiary of the Company, which on a going forward basis will result in consolidated financial reporting by the Company to include the results of Kannalife. The initial closing of the Share Exchange occurred concurrently with entry into the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Initial Closing”). After the Initial Closing and for a period of no more than 120 days thereafter, unless extended in the sole discretion of the Company, the Company may issue, on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Share Exchange Agreement, additional shares of the common stock of the Company to Kannalife Stockholders that did not participate in the Initial Closing, provided that each additional Kannalife Stockholder becomes a party to the transaction documents (the “Additional Closing”).

The Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition of the Company by Kannalife but in substance as a capital transaction, rather than a business combination since the Company had nominal operations and assets prior to and as of the closing of the Share Exchange. The former stockholders of Kannalife represent a significant constituency of the Company’s voting power immediately following the Share Exchange and Kannalife’s management has assumed operational, financial and governance control. The transaction is deemed a reverse recapitalization and the accounting is similar to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible assets should be recorded. For accounting purposes, Kannalife is treated as the surviving entity and accounting acquirer although the Company was the legal acquirer. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Kannalife.

All references to common stock, share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse recapitalization as if the transaction had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Company assets and liabilities pre-acquisition:

The following summarized unaudited consolidated pro forma information shows the results of operations of the Company had the reverse acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018:

The summarized unaudited consolidated pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of results which would have occurred if the acquisition had been in effect for the period presented. Further, the summarized unaudited consolidated pro forma results are not intended to be a projection of future results.

Name Change

On November 9, 2018, the Company filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State that changed its name to Kannalife, Inc. The Company concurrently submitted a request to FINRA for approval of the name change as well as a ticker symbol change. The Company’s name change and ticker change was reviewed and processed by FINRA and went effective January 17, 2019.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our balance sheets, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 2019. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary, Kannalife. The non-controlling interest in Kannalife represents the 0.30% equity interest held by the original shareholders of Kannalife before the share exchange. All significant consolidated transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The operations of Kannalife, Inc. are included in the consolidated financial statement from the date of the Share Exchange.

Significant risks and uncertainties

The Company’s operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial condition. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the results of clinical testing and trial activities of the Company’s products, the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval to market its products, competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies, the price of, and demand for, Company products, the Company’s ability to negotiate favorable licensing or other manufacturing and marketing agreements for its products, and the Company’s ability to raise capital.

The Company currently has no commercially approved products and there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully commercialized. Developing and commercializing a product requires significant time and capital and is subject to regulatory review and approval as well as competition from other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change and is dependent upon the continued services of its employees and consultants and obtaining and protecting intellectual property.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant matters requiring the use of estimates and assumptions include, but are not necessarily limited to, establishing the fair value of marketable securities and periodically evaluating marketable securities for potential impairment, fair value of the Company’s stock, stock based compensation, and valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, based on information that is available at the time they are made.

Concentration Risks

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company’s revenue had a concentration of 100% from one grant. The concentration of the Company’s revenue creates a potential risk to future working capital in the event that the Company is not able to continue receiving the grant revenue.

Joint Venture

On June 18, 2019, the Company, along with MJNA which is a significant shareholder and AXIM biotechnologies whose president is affiliated with a shareholder, entered into a joint venture agreement with an industrial hemp production farm for the supply of certain industrial hemp CBD crops. The purpose of the joint venture is to share in the harvested yield of the hemp production which the Company hopes to result in a steady industrial hemp CBD supply for research and development purposes. The Company accounts for its participation in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting.

Revenue Recognition

The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, codified as ASC 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 using modified retrospective basis and the cumulative effect was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue consists of research funding from the Company’s National Institute of Health (“NIH”) Grant. Grant revenue is recognized when qualifying costs are incurred and there is reasonable assurance that the conditions of the award have been met for collection. Proceeds received prior to the costs being incurred or the conditions of the award being met are recognized as deferred revenue until the services are performed and the conditions of the award are met.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provision of FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on the estimated grant date fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505, Equity–based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505”). Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, increased by potentially dilutive common shares ("dilutive securities") that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities include stock options and warrants granted, convertible debt, and convertible preferred stock.

The weighted average number of common stock equivalents not included in diluted income per share, because the effects are anti-dilutive, was 5,150,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The weighted average number of common stock equivalents not included in diluted income per share, because the effects are anti-dilutive, was zero (0) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Research and Development

In accordance with FASB ASC 730, Research and Development (“ASC 730”) research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed when incurred. R&D costs include supplies, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing costs, contract and other outside service and facilities and overhead costs. Total R&D costs for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $148,959 and $34,871, respectively. Total R&D costs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $250,237 and $58,637, respectively.

Recently Issued Authoritative Guidance

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding lease liability. Lessor accounting under the standard is substantially unchanged. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method, which applies the provisions of the standard at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The Company adopted the following practical expedients and elected the following accounting policies related to this standard update:

The Company has inventoried all leases where the Company is a lessee as of the initial date of application and has examined other contracts with suppliers, vendors, customers and other outside parties to identify whether such contracts contain an embedded lease as defined under the new guidance. The Company’s lease population comprises of an office and lab, which is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the above, the adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material effect on the financial statements. The Company will review for the existence of embedded leases in future agreements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. This standard is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted as long as ASU 2014-09 has been adopted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2019. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has had a net loss from operations of $1,057,945 and $179,208 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The net cash used in operations were $1,303,127 and $300,630 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,680,091 at June 30, 2019 and has not yet established an adequate ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern.

As of June 30, 2019, we had $537,087 in cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, we had $805,500 in marketable securities (available for sale). Management plans to raise additional capital through the sale of our marketable securities. We expect that between our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities we will be able to sufficiently fund our operations and capital requirements for the next 12 months.

The Company’s history of recurring losses, and uncertainties as to whether its operations will become profitable and generate operating cash flows raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) to measure and disclosure the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 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 reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Transactions involving related parties 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. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

On March 7, 2014, Kannalife Sciences, Inc. (“Kannalife”) entered into an agreement with General Hemp LLC (“General Hemp”) through its wholly owned subsidiary Kannaway LLC (“Kannaway”) for certain rights and agreements to where each company would exchange 4.99% of each Company’s equity, by way of a stock swap. As such, Kannalife would receive a 4.99% equity stake in Kannaway and Kannaway would receive 6,408,980 shares of restricted common stock of Kannalife.

On or about April 2014, Kannalife delivered 6,408,980 of the aforementioned Kannalife restricted common stock to General Hemp on behalf of Kannaway and such shares were made to Kannaway as the beneficiary. The Company recorded the fair market value of the common stock at $256,359 or $0.04 per share. The Company valued the shares based upon other transactions of the Company's common stock around the same time frame. The Company accounted for the transaction as a cost investment.

On or about December 2015, Medical Marijuana, Inc. (“MJNA”) purchased Kannaway from General Hemp for which due to a dispute between the Company and General Hemp, the Company wasn't provided any of the consideration. On June 1, 2018, the Company received 41,583,333 shares of MJNA common stock pursuant to a settlement agreement effective July 15, 2017. MJNA is a significant shareholder of the Company and their Chief Executive Officer is also on the Company's Board of Directors.

The following table presents assets that are measured and recognized at fair value as of June 30, 2019, on a recurring basis:

Note 5 – Accrued Payroll and Payroll Taxes

Accrued payroll and payroll taxes at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued payroll taxes in connection with salaries paid and accrued to four officers of the Company.

In July of 2018, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with its CEO. The initial term of the agreement was for two years and automatically renews for successive one year terms.

In July of 2018, the Company entered into new employment agreements with three officers. The initial term of these agreements were for one year and automatically renew for successive six month terms.

Note 6 – Notes Payable

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company borrowed $367,500 and issued a promissory note with a maturity date of October 18, 2017. This note was later amended to extend the maturity to April 18, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company borrowed an additional $352,500 and issued a promissory note with a maturity date of April 18, 2019. These loans incurred 3% interest per annum.

Accrued interest related to these notes is $48,921 and $24,460 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Upon the consolidation of the Company and Kannalife, $100,000 of the above-mentioned borrowings was eliminated due to it being an intercompany transaction. The total, above mentioned, notes payable due was $620,000 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Total interest expense on notes payable, amounted to $12,230 and $4,514 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Total interest expense on notes payable, amounted to $24,460 and $8,150 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY

Royalty Agreements

On June 12, 2012, the Company entered into a Patent License Agreement with agencies of the United States Public Health Services within the Department of Health and Human Services (“PHS”). Under the License Agreement, PHS granted the Company an exclusive right to use and develop certain patents relating to Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants. In exchange for the License, the Company has agreed to the following payments:

On December 31, 2014, the Company executed five exclusive pharmaceutical license agreements with the Company’s CEO, the Company’s CMO, three advisory board members of the Company, and an unrelated third party. These agreements provide the Company the worldwide exclusive rights to certain drug technologies and methods (and systems) for collection, processing and use of data for the dispensing of phyto-medical and botanically derived materials for consumption. The license agreements grant to the Company from the inventors the rights to develop, market, make, use, and sell certain drug formulations, which are applied to humans through the use of certain drug technology. In return for these exclusive rights from the inventors, the Company has agreed to compensate the inventors under the agreements with royalties ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% on all net sales by the Company of licensed products covered by a valid claim of a patent or patent application of the inventor patent rights. Additionally, the Company retains the rights to sublicense the drug formulations, and upon such sublicense shall pay the inventors from 1.5% up to 5% of all royalties and sublicense fees paid to the Company on account of sublicenses under the inventor patent rights and inventor technology rights, less all appropriate expenses associated with such sublicenses incurred by the Company. However, if the inventor supplies licensed products to sublicensees of the Company pursuant to such sublicenses, the inventor shall supply such licensed products at its cost. Prior to the Share Exchange this royalty agreement was terminated.

Note 11 – Related Party Transactions

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer shares the use of the leased office space for personal living quarters.

From time to time the Company sends money to Golden Gate Capital (“GGCP”), a company owned by our CEO, for the advances of certain expenses and to be deposited into the bank account of Kannalife. Due to the timing of the funds transferred and expenses incurred, at times, there remains a balance due from GGCP. As of June 30, 2019, $2,456 is due from GGCP. Subsequent to the period end, GGCP has transferred all the remaining funds to Kannalife. As of the filing of these financial statements, there is no outstanding balance due from GGCP.

See Notes 7, 9 and 13 for additional related party transactions.

Note 12 – Marketable Security

On June 1, 2018, the Company received 41,583,333 shares of Medical Marijuana, Inc. (“MJNA”) common stock pursuant to a settlement agreement. In 2014, the Company entered into a revenue sharing agreement with Kannaway LLC, whereas, among the considerations and obligations the parties agreed to a share exchange, whereby the Company issued 6,408,980 shares of its common stock in exchange of 4.99% ownership of Kannaway. A significant shareholder of the Company owned the remaining ownership of Kannaway LLC. Subsequently, Kannaway was sold, by its parent company, to MJNA for 833,333,333 shares of MJNA common stock. The settlement agreement called for the release of all obligations in exchange for the issuance of 41,583,333 shares of common stock in MJNA to the Company.

The investment in MJNA has been recorded as an investment in non-consolidated entities and is revalued every quarter with fluctuations in fair value recorded to earnings. The fair value of the investment is based on the closing price of the shares reported on the principal stock exchange on which they are traded. At June 30, 2019 the Company held 15,000,000 shares of MJNA which traded at a closing price of $0.0537, or value of $805,500.

Business Developments

The Company was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 25, 2013 under the name of TYG Solutions Corp. Our original business plan was to develop iPhone and Android smartphone apps for companies who need an app for their internal and external operations. We subsequently expanded our operations to offering corporate website design services.

On July 25, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Kannalife Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kannalife”) and certain stockholders of Kannalife (the “Kannalife Stockholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired approximately nearly all of the issued and outstanding shares of Kannalife by means of a share exchange with the Kannalife Stockholders in exchange for newly issued shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Kannalife became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The business operations of the Company shall continue uninterrupted, and, by virtue of the Share Exchange, the Company will acquire the business of Kannalife including all of its assets. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and change in reporting entity, whereby Kannalife was the accounting acquirer.

Kannalife was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 11, 2010. Kannalife is a developmental stage phyto-medical/pharmaceutical and drug discovery company that specializes in the research, development of cannabinoid and cannabinoid-based therapeutic products derived from synthetic and botanical sources, including the Cannabis “taxa” (the word “taxa” is the plural of “taxon” which defines a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms to form a unit.)

On November 9, 2018, the Company filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to change its name to Kannalife, Inc. The Company concurrently submitted a request to FINRA for approval of the name change as well as a ticker symbol change. The Company’s name change and ticker change was reviewed and processed by FINRA and went effective January 17, 2019.

Business Overview

As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company’s core businesses are comprised of the following:

The Company is primarily involved in the research and development of novel therapeutic agents for use in and as U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved ethical pharmaceuticals (available by doctor prescription); FDA Monograph topical solutions; Personal Care Products Council (“PCPC”) / International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (“INCI”) registered. The primary focus of the Company’s research and development revolves around its patented, proprietary cannabidiol-derived new chemical entities and cannabidiol. In preclinical testing, certain molecules under Pat. 9,611,213 were screened for neuroprotection and may have the potential mechanism of action for reducing inflammation and neuropathic pain. These molecules indicate that they are more soluble than cannabidiol, also deemed a neuroprotectant with potential anti-inflammatory properties. A molecule that is potentially more water soluble than cannabidiol in this regard may be good candidate(s) for use in topical applications.

The Company has been the only licensee from the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) for the licensed use of the U.S. Government’s patent 6,630,507 – “Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants” (the “’507 Patent”) in the disease indications of hepatic encephalopathy (“HE”) and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (“CTE”). Having been the only licensee to the ‘507 Patent has given the Company an early start in the research and development of cannabinoid therapeutics within this emerging market. The Company is the only company that has had use of the ‘507 Patent and corresponding licenses from NIH-OTT.

The jurisdictions in which the ‘507 Patent is valid are: the U.S., the U.K., Ireland, the E.U., and Australia. The patent life in these jurisdictions are good until April 21, 2019.

The Company believes that these licenses with the NIH have given the Company, through the years, the preclinical lead time to evaluate both HE and CTE without stress of competition. The Company also believes that such advances in preclinical have led to a drug development program regarding cannabidiol based therapeutics that focuses on neurodegenerative and oxidative stress related diseases described in the ‘507 Patent, and also the development of the Company’s own intellectual property underlying U.S. Patents 9,611,213 and 10,004,722.

Furthermore, it is on the Company’s belief and knowledge that while the U.S. Government patent 6,630,507 is due to expire on April 21, 2019, there may be additional opportunities related to the original licensing of the ‘507 Patent in which the Company may engage with the NIH and certain collaborators of the aforementioned patent to enter into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (“CRADA”) with the NIH for one or more disease indications underlying the ‘507 Patent, including but not limited to HE and CTE. Moreover, the weight of the Company’s future success, drug development program regarding cannabidiol based therapeutics is not centered on the ‘507 Patent, but rather its own intellectual property underlying U.S. Patents 9,611,213 and 10,004,722.

We intend to study KLS-13019 in patients with chemotherapy induced neuropathic pain, and we intend to study KLS-13023 in patients with mild traumatic brain injury.

We believe these product candidates will provide new treatment options for patients, as well as additional treatment options for patients not currently receiving adequate relief from current treatment regimens.

We are still conducting pre-clinical studies and have not yet commenced our clinical program or tested KLS-13019 or KLS-13023 in humans. For KLS-13019, we plan to conduct Phase 1, and possibly Phase 2, clinical trials in Australia, subject to applicable regulatory approval. We plan to conduct our Phase 1 clinical trials for KLS-13023 in Australia, subject to applicable regulatory approval. We plan to submit NDAs for KLS-13019 and KLS-13023 to the FDA upon completion of all requisite clinical trials. We expect to initiate clinical trials for KLS-13019 and KLS-13023 in the second half of 2019.

For KLS-13019, we plan to conduct Phase 1, and possibly Phase 2, clinical trials in Australia, subject to applicable regulatory approval. We plan to conduct our Phase 1 clinical trials for KLS-13023 in Australia, subject to applicable regulatory approval. We plan to submit NDAs for KLS-13019 and KLS-13023 to the FDA upon completion of all requisite clinical trials.

We plan to conduct our Phase 1, and possibly Phase 2, clinical trials for KLS-13019 in Australia, subject to applicable regulatory approval, and do not expect at this time to file an investigational new drug application, or IND, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, prior to the commencement of those clinical trials. We must file an IND with the FDA and receive approval from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, or DEA, prior to commencement of any clinical trials in the United States.

We plan to conduct our Phase 1 clinical trials for KLS-13023 in Australia, subject to applicable regulatory approval. We plan to submit New Drug Applications, or NDAs, for KLS-13019 and KLS-13023 to the FDA upon completion of all requisite clinical trials.

We plan to seek orphan drug designation for KLS-13023 in Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy.

Cannabinoids are a class of molecules derived from Cannabis plants. The two primary cannabinoids contained in Cannabis are cannabidiol, or CBD, and D9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. Clinical and preclinical data suggest that CBD has positive effects on treating refractory epilepsy, FXS and arthritis and THC has positive effects on treating pain. Interest in cannabinoid therapeutics has increased significantly over the past several years as preclinical and clinical data has emerged highlighting the potential efficacy and safety benefits of cannabinoid therapeutics. The cannabinoid therapeutics market is expected to grow significantly due to the potential benefits these products may provide over existing therapies. In addition to KLS-13019 and KLS-13023 potentially offering first-line therapies to patients suffering from chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy and mild traumatic brain injury, respectively.

KLS-13023 is target drug candidate that includes a synthetic CBD formulated in a gel capsule designed for potential use in humans. The formulation of this product is proprietary and currently held as a trade secret of the company. CBD is the primary non-psychoactive component of Cannabis. KLS-13023 has undergone a manufacturing feasibility study to improve some of the limitations associated with CBD, including but not limited to CBD’s low bioavailability and limited drug like properties and improvement of the delivery of CBD through the first pass in the gut and into the circulatory system.

In addition to KLS-13023, the Company has developed a proprietary patented new chemical entity (NCE), KLS-13019. This NCE is a cannabidiol derived molecule which has undergone pre-clinical studies for the treatment of overt hepatic encephalopathy and chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy.

In pre-clinical studies, KLS-13019's advanced formulation is designed to improve on some of the limitations associated with CBD, including but not limited to CBD’s low bioavailability and limited drug like properties.

These pre-clinical studies suggest increased bioavailability, consistent plasma levels and the avoidance of first-pass liver metabolism. In addition, an in vitro study performed by us demonstrated that CBD is degraded to THC in an acidic environment such as the stomach.

The Company has filed for orphan designation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the use of CBD in the treatment overt hepatic encephalopathy (“OHE”). The Company has received notice from the FDA that its current application qualifies for a patient population of less than 200,000, but is currently in abeyance to resolve clinical use of CBD in this sub-set of hepatic encephalopathy. The Company has retained Coté Orphan to continue the process of responding to the FDA’s abeyance letter. On November 5, 2018, the FDA has granted the Company a one year extension to respond to the abeyance letter until November 30, 2019.

KLS-13023 is a proprietary formulation containing CBD that intends to enable more effective delivery of CBD via a gel capsule. The use of CBD in this form remains patent-protected via the ‘507 Patent through 2019. In addition, we expect that KLS-13023 will be classified by the FDA as a new chemical entity, or NCE. In our preclinical animal studies, KLS-13023 demonstrated effective intervention of neurodegeneration in the OHE disease state. Our key development programs and expected timelines for the development of KLS-13019 and KLS-13023 are shown in the table below:

Clinical Timelines

With respect to certain other proprietary compounds underlying Pat. 9,611,213, the Company plans on pursuing topical solutions as potential relief creams and/or ointments for neuropathic pain, anti-inflammation, anti-pruritic and skin ulcers. The Company is considering commercialization routes that include, but are not limited to, filing and FDA Monograph and/or pursing a path to the marketplace through INCI certification and registration with the PCPC. In preclinical testing, certain molecules under Pat. 9,611,213 were screened for neuroprotection and may have the potential mechanism of action for reducing inflammation and neuropathic pain. These molecules indicate that they are more soluble than cannabidiol, also deemed a neuroprotectant with potential anti-inflammatory properties. A molecule that is potentially more water soluble than cannabidiol in this regard may be good candidate(s) for use in topical applications.

The Company believes it has the sufficient capital to proceed forth with a Phase 1 human safety trial for the treatment of Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy. All preclinical work in this indication, including animal toxicity studies, are expected to be completed before the end of the third quarter 2019. The Company plans on entering into clinical trials sometime in the first quarter 2020. Additionally, the Company believes it has the sufficient capital to proceed forth with a Phase 1 human safety trial for the treatment of Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy. All preclinical work in this indication, including animal toxicity studies, are expected to be completed before the end of the fourth quarter 2019.

The Company intends on seeking additional capital to proceed forth with its business plan regarding additional drug pipeline opportunities.

Our net losses were $784,416 and $1,632,915 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and we expect these losses to increase as we continue our development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidates. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when, or if, we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability.

Financial Operations Overview

The following discussion sets forth certain components of our statements of operations as well as factors that impact those items.

Revenues

Our revenues consist of state and federal research grants and fees received from research services for third-party product development. These revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in development and preclinical studies relating to our product candidates, including:

We expense all research and development costs as incurred. Preclinical development expenses for our product candidates are a significant component of our current research and development expenses. Product candidates in later stage clinical development generally have higher research and development expenses than those in earlier stages of development, primarily due to increased size and duration of the clinical trials. We track and record information regarding external research and development expenses for each grant, study or trial that we conduct. From time to time, we intend to use third-party CROs, and have used contractor laboratories and independent contractors in preclinical studies. We recognize the expenses associated with third parties performing these services for us in our preclinical studies based on the percentage of each study completed at the end of each reporting period.

We incurred research and development expenses of $148,959 and $34,871 for the three months ended June 2019 and 2018. We incurred research and development expenses of $250,237 and $58,637, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

We expect that our research and development expenses in 2019 and for the next several years will be higher than in 2018 as a result of the work needed for our expected initiation of our Phase 1 clinical trials of KLS-13019 in the second half of 2019 and KLS-13023 by early 2020. These expenditures are subject to numerous uncertainties regarding timing and cost to completion. Completion of our preclinical development and clinical trials may take several years or more and the length of time generally varies according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of a product candidate. The cost of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of differences arising during clinical development, including, among others:

Due to the early stages of our research and development, we are unable to determine the duration or completion costs of our development of KLS-13019 and KLS-13023. As a result of the difficulties of forecasting research and development costs of KLS-13019 and KLS-13023 as well as the other uncertainties discussed above, we are unable to determine when and to what extent we will generate revenues from the commercialization and sale of an approved product candidate.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel serving in our executive, finance, accounting, legal and human resource functions. Our general and administrative expenses also include facility and related costs not included in research and development expenses, professional fees for legal services, including patent-related expenses, consulting, tax and accounting services, insurance and general corporate expenses. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase with the continued development and potential commercialization of our product candidates.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses in 2019 and for the next several years will be higher than in 2018 as we increase our headcount. We also anticipate increased expenses relating to our operations as a public company, including increased costs for the hiring of additional personnel, and for payment to outside consultants, including lawyers and accountants, to comply with additional regulations, corporate governance, internal control and similar requirements applicable to public companies, as well as increased costs for insurance.

Interest Income (Expense), net

Interest expense consists of interest expense on our notes payable. Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our money market bank account.

Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2018, we had $862,000 of federal operating loss carryforwards. These operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2031. The Tax Reform Act of 1986, or the Act, provides for limitation on the use of net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards following certain ownership changes (as defined by the Act) that could limit our ability to utilize these carryforwards. We may have experienced various ownership changes, as defined by the Act, as a result of past financings. Accordingly, our ability to utilize the aforementioned carryforwards may be limited. Additionally, U.S. tax laws limit the time during which these carryforwards may be applied against future taxes; therefore, we may not be able to take full advantage of these carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

The closing of the share exchange transaction, together with private placements and other transactions that have occurred since our inception, may trigger, or may have already triggered, an "ownership change" pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If an ownership change is triggered, it will limit our ability to use some of our net operating loss carryforwards. In addition, since we will need to raise substantial additional funding to finance our operations, we may undergo further ownership changes in the future, which could further limit our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards. As a result, if we generate taxable income, our ability to use some of our net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to limitations, which could result in increased future tax liability to us.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

We have based our management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to preclinical development expenses and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully discussed in note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements appearing above, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.

Research and Development Expenses

We rely on third parties to conduct our preclinical studies and to provide services, including data management, statistical analysis and electronic compilation. Once our clinical trials begin, at the end of each reporting period, we will compare the payments made to each service provider to the estimated progress towards completion of the related project. Factors that we will consider in preparing these estimates include the number of patients enrolled in studies, milestones achieved and other criteria related to the efforts of our vendors. These estimates will be subject to change as additional information becomes available. Depending on the timing of payments to vendors and estimated services provided, we will record net prepaid or accrued expenses related to these costs.

Fair Value of Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation

We account for grants of stock options and restricted stock to employees based on their grant date fair value and recognize compensation expense over the vesting periods. We estimate the fair value of stock options as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and we estimate the fair value of restricted stock based on the fair value of the underlying common stock as determined by our board of directors or the value of the services provided, whichever is more readily determinable. We account for stock options and restricted stock awards to non-employees using the fair value approach. Stock options and restricted stock awards to non-employees are subject to periodic revaluation over their vesting terms.

In the absence of a public trading market for our common stock, on each grant date, we develop an estimate of the fair value of our common stock for the option and restricted stock grants based in part on input from an independent third-party valuation firm. We determined the fair value of our common stock using methodologies, approaches and assumptions consistent with the AICPA Practice Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. In addition, our board of directors considered various objective and subjective factors, along with input from management and an independent third-party valuation firm, to estimate the fair value of our common stock, including external market conditions affecting the pharmaceutical industry, trends within the pharmaceutical industry, the prices at which we sold shares of our different series of preferred stock, the superior rights and preferences of each series of preferred stock relative to our common stock at the time of each grant, our results of operations and financial position, the status of our research and development efforts and progress of our preclinical programs, our stage of development and business strategy, the lack of an active public market for our common and our preferred stock, and the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event.

Results of Operations – For the Three Month Periods Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019, was $52,768 compared to $36,858 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our increase in revenue in 2019 was primary the result of an increase of grant revenue for research and development.

Research and development expenses increased by $114,088 or 327%, to $148,959 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $34,871 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily the result of increased consulting and compensation expense related to increased product development activities.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $363,270 or 381%, to $458,581 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $95,311 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was largely the result of certain third party expenses, third party research and development expenses currently classified as general and administrative expenses and executive compensation. 

Results of Operations – For the Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was $102,059 compared to $66,864 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our increase in revenue in 2019 was primary the result of an increase of grant revenue for research and development.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased by $191,600 or 327%, to $250,237 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $58,637 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily the result of increased consulting and compensation expense related to increased product development activities.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $722,332 or 385%, to $909,767 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $187,435 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was largely the result of certain third party expenses, third party research and development expenses currently classified as general and administrative expenses and executive compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception in 2010, we have devoted most of our cash resources to research and development and general and administrative activities. We have financed our operations primarily with the proceeds from the sale of preferred stock and convertible promissory notes, state and federal grants and research services. To date, we have not generated any revenues from the sale of products, and we do not anticipate generating any revenues from the sales of products for the foreseeable future. We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of June 30, 2019, our principal sources of liquidity were our cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $537,087 and marketable securities, which totaled $805,500. Our working capital was $775,676 as of June 30, 2019.

Equity Financings

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2018, we received net proceeds of $0 and $352,000, respectively, from the sale of convertible notes and promissory notes. Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, the Company received proceeds of $150,000 for the sale of 75 shares of Series A preferred stock and 75 shares of Series B preferred stock. Additionally, the Company received $203,000 for the sale of 2,030,000 shares of common stock.

Debt

We had the following schedule of debt as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019:

In January 2018, prior to the Share Exchange, all Convertible Junior Debenture holders and all Senior Convertible Debenture holders accepted the Company’s offer to exchange their debt instruments, including accrued interest thereunder for restricted common stock. The holders of the Convertible Junior Debentures, related parties, accepted a total of 973,946 shares of restricted common stock (on a post-Share Exchange basis) of the Company in exchange for the repayment of a total of $356,176 in debt, inclusive of accrued interest of $67,195. In addition to the conversion of the Convertible Junior Debentures, the holders of the Senior Convertible Debentures accepted a total of 563,063 shares of restricted common stock of the Company (on a post-Share Exchange basis) in exchange for the repayment of a total of $236,184 in debt, inclusive of accrued interest of $51,104.

In January 2018, prior to the Share Exchange, we converted outstanding accrued executive management salaries totaling $2,812,810, which had accrued from September 2014 through December 2017, in exchange for a total of 5,505,200 shares of restricted common stock of the Company (on a post-Share Exchange basis).

Future Capital Requirements

Prior to the Share Exchange, the Company issued a convertible note to an investor, face value $500,000, in exchange for $500,000 in cash. The note is unsecured, bears interest at the rate of 3% per annum and matures on February 16, 2030. The note is convertible into common stock of the Company at $0.10 per share at any time at the option of the holder, subject to a 4.9% blocking provision which prohibits the holder from converting into common stock of the Company if such conversion results in the holder owning greater than 4.9% of the outstanding common stock of the Company after giving effect to the conversion.

We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents and securities held for sale on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements through December 2019. We believe that these available funds will be sufficient to commence a Phase 1 clinical trials for KLS-13019 for patients with chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy. We anticipate, based on current estimates, that costs associated Phase 1 clinical trials for KLS-13019 will be approximately $2.75 million.

Our investment in Medical Marijuana, Inc. (“MJNA”) represents a sizable portion of the total assets of the Company. On June 1, 2018, the Company received 41,583,333 shares of Medical Marijuana, Inc. (“MJNA”) common stock pursuant to a settlement agreement. In 2014, the Company entered into a revenue sharing agreement with Kannaway LLC, whereas, among the considerations and obligations the parties agreed to a share exchange, whereby the Company issued 6,408,980 shares of its common stock in exchange of 4.99% ownership of Kannaway.

A significant shareholder of the Company owned the remaining ownership of Kannaway LLC. Subsequently, Kannaway was sold, by its parent company, to MJNA for 833,333,333 shares of MJNA common stock. The settlement agreement called for the release of all obligations in exchange for the issuance of 41,583,333 shares of common stock in MJNA to the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a realized gain of $3,901,974 upon the settlement and receipt of these shares and an unrealized loss of $873,693 related to the investment in MJNA. The gain was netted against the Company's cost basis investment in Kannaway LLC.

The Company’s shares in MJNA are eligible for re-sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act and the Company intends to liquidate its holdings in MJNA in its discretion to help fund its operations. There are no contractual, affiliate or other restrictions on the Company’s ability to re-sell its shares in MJNA. In the event that we are unable to sell our shares in MNA, management believes that it can locate additional sources of capital to facilitate and carry out its business plan and the Company’s ability to conduct its business operations and clinical trials is not dependent on our ability to sell the Company’s shares in MJNA.

Management of the Company believes that it will need to seek additional sources of capital to facilitate and carry out its business plan of proceeding forth with commencing a Phase 2 clinical trial for KLS-13019 for patients with chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy; commencing a Phase 1 clinical trial for KLS-13019 for patients suffering from the effects of mild traumatic brain injury; and commencing a Phase 1 clinical trial for KLS-13023 for patients suffering with overt hepatic encephalopathy. The cost of commencing and conducting these trials will likely be in the tens of millions of dollars.

Furthermore, it is difficult to predict our spending for our product candidates prior to obtaining FDA approval. Moreover, changing circumstances may cause us to expend cash significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more cash than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control.

Our expectations regarding future cash requirements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments that we make in the future. We have no current understandings, agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions or licenses of any products, businesses or technologies. We may need to raise substantial additional capital in order to engage in any of these types of transactions.

We expect to continue to incur substantial additional operating losses for at least the next several years as we continue to develop our product candidates and seek marketing approval and, subject to obtaining such approval, the eventual commercialization of our product candidates. If we obtain marketing approval for either of our product candidates, we will incur significant sales, marketing and outsourced manufacturing expenses. In addition, we expect to incur additional expenses to add operational, financial and information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our planned product commercialization efforts. We also expect to incur significant costs to comply with corporate governance, internal controls and similar requirements applicable to us as a public company.

Our future use of operating cash and capital requirements will depend on many forward-looking factors, including the following:

To the extent that our capital resources are insufficient to meet our future operating and capital requirements, we will need to finance our cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaboration and licensing arrangements or other financing alternatives. We have no committed external sources of funds. Additional equity or debt financing or collaboration and licensing arrangements may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders will experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, would result in increased fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms, such as liquidation and other preferences that are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash used in operations was $1,303,127 compared to $300,630 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash provided by investing activities was $1,532,986 compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This was due to cash received upon the sale of marketable securities.

Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash provided by financing activities was $97 compared to $345,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, except for operating leases, or relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), which is a new comprehensive revenue recognition model that will supersede all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in the ASU. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 with no material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding lease liability. Lessor accounting under the standard is substantially unchanged. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method, which applies the provisions of the standard at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The Company adopted the following practical expedients and elected the following accounting policies related to this standard update:

The Company has inventoried all leases where the Company is a lessee as of the initial date of application and has examined other contracts with suppliers, vendors, customers and other outside parties to identify whether such contracts contain an embedded lease as defined under the new guidance. The Company’s lease population comprises of an office and lab, which is immaterial to the financial statements.

As a result of the above, the adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. The Company will review for the existence of embedded leases in future agreements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. This standard is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted as long as ASU 2014-09 has been adopted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2019. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of the evaluation date our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Our procedures were designed to ensure that the information relating to our company required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management is currently evaluating the current disclosure controls and procedures in place to see where improvements can be made.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2019, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Steps that the Company believes it must undertake is to retain a consulting firm to, among other things, design and implement adequate systems of accounting and financial statement disclosure controls during the current fiscal year to comply with the requirements of the SEC. We believe that the ultimate success of our plan to improve our disclosure controls and procedures will require a combination of additional financial resources, outside consulting services, legal advice, additional personnel, further reallocation of responsibility among various persons, and substantial additional training of those of our officers, personnel and others, including certain of our directors such as our committee chairs, who are charged with implementing and/or carrying out our plan.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as required in Rule 13a-15(b). We are conducting an evaluation to design and implement adequate systems of accounting and financial statement disclosure controls. We expect to complete this review during 2019 to comply with the requirement of the SEC. We believe that the ultimate success of our plan to improve our internal control over financial reporting will require a combination of additional financial resources, outside consulting services, legal advice, additional personnel, further reallocation of responsibility among various persons, and substantial additional training of our officers, personnel and others, including certain of our directors such as our Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer, who are charged with implementing and/or carrying out our plan. It should also be noted that the design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting, or any system we design or implement in the future, will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the six month period ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On or about September 18, 2013, a lawsuit was filed by two individuals against the Company and the Company’s CEO. The plaintiffs allege that they provided business services to Kannalife Sciences, Inc. (“Kannalife”) in the amount of $150,000, including but not limited to providing strategic introductions to Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas and were seeking 17% of the issued and outstanding stock of Kannalife. The Company believed, at all times, that the allegations to be without merit and vigorously defended itself.

On or about September 30, 2013, Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas filed a motion to dismiss all five causes of action alleged against Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas.

On May 12, 2014, the court dismissed all five causes of action alleged by one plaintiff against Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas.

On March 27, 2015, the court granted permission to this plaintiff to replead his complaint (the “Repleading Plaintiff”).

On July 14, 2015, the court denied the Repleading Plaintiff’s motion to reargue, affirming the dismissal of all of the Repleading Plaintiff’s causes of action, which left, three causes of action remain open relating to the remaining plaintiff (the “Remaining Plaintiff”).

In December 2016, Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas filed a motion for summary judgment to seek the court’s decision in dismissing the remainder of the claims alleged by the Remaining Plaintiff.

On June 30, 2017, the motion for summary judgment made by Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas was granted. All remaining causes of action by the Remaining Plaintiff were dismissed.

On February 7, 2018, the Remaining Plaintiff, (the “Plaintiff-Appellant”) appealed from the June 30, 2017 decision and order of the lower court, which granted the Kannalife’s and Mr. Petkanas’ (Defendants-Respondents) motion for summary judgment dismissing all of Plaintiff-Appellant’s claims. In his amended complaint, Plaintiff-Appellant alleged the existence of an oral agreement between himself and Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas for the exchange of investments (including both money and services) from Plaintiff-Appellant in return for the transfer of 17% of Kannalife’s shares. However, Plaintiff-Appellant’s allegations consisted of nothing more than vague statements regarding what he promised to provide to Kannalife and to Mr. Petkanas in exchange for nearly one-fifth of Kannalife’s shares. And after years of litigation, including extensive depositions and document exchanges, the evidence elicited by both parties failed to clarify either the precise terms of the alleged oral agreement or that Plaintiff-Appellant actually made any investments as he allegedly promised to do. In the lower court, Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas moved for summary judgment dismissing Plaintiff-Appellant’s claims based on certain undisputed facts: that no evidence existed to show that Plaintiff-Appellant–or Stone Engineering, P.C., which is Plaintiff-Appellant’s S Corporation–made any investment at all in Kannalife; that even if Plaintiff-Appellant did make any investments, the alleged agreement is unenforceable pursuant to General Obligations Law § 5-701(a)(1) (the Statue of Frauds) because the terms cannot be completed within one year; and the contract is unenforceable as a matter of hornbook law because Plaintiff-Appellant’s own testimony establishes that he and Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas never reached a “meeting of the minds” with respect to the contours of Plaintiff-Appellant’s supposed offer of investments or the time period for transferring the shares to Plaintiff-Appellant.

On appeal, Plaintiff-Appellant argues the lower court’s decision was wrong because: (1) it was based upon an erroneous finding that Plaintiff-Appellant lacks standing to recover his shares in Kannalife; and (2) enforcement of the alleged contract is not barred by the Statute of Frauds because (a) its terms were capable of being performed within one year and (b) the alleged agreement constitutes a securities contract under UCC § 8-113 that does not require a writing to be enforceable. However, in Opposition Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas argued that the lower court’s decision should primarily be affirmed based upon an argument raised by Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas in their motion: the undisputed evidence shows that there was no meeting of the minds between Plaintiff-Appellant, and Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas regarding the terms of the alleged oral agreement. Moreover, the terms of the alleged agreement that Plaintiff-Appellant himself asserted–if they are assumed to be true for purposes of the motion and appeal–indicate that it was impossible for him to perform his obligations within one year; and a review of UCC § 8-113 along with interpretive case law requires a conclusion that the alleged agreement in this case does not constitute the type of securities contract that does not require a writing to be enforceable. Thus, to the extent an oral agreement between Plaintiff-Appellant, and Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas was ever actually created, then its enforcement is barred by the Statute of Frauds—and the lower court’s decision to dismiss Plaintiff-Appellant’s claim seeking enforcement of the alleged oral agreement was properly reached for these reasons. Accordingly, Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas believe that the 2nd Department will affirm the lower court’s decision and order entirely.

On September 28, 2018, in an attempt to correct fatal flaws in the Plaintiff-Appellant’s original case dismissed on June 30, 2017, the Plaintiff-Appellant filed a new lawsuit against Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas, alleging much, if not all of the same claims as in the original case filed by the Plaintiff-Appellant, a case which was dismissed on June 30, 2017. This new lawsuit now seeks, instead of the relief sought in the case previously dismissed, a sum of no less than $21,250,000.

Kannalife and Mr. Petkanas believe that this new case is without merit and will be ultimately dismissed in the fullness of time.

Other than aforementioned, there are no pending legal proceeding relating to our company and its CEO to which we are a party, and to our knowledge there are no material proceedings to which any of our directors, executive officers or affiliates is a party adverse to us or which have a material interest adverse to us.
