NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2023

 

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation – Going Concern Uncertainties

 

ProtoKinetix, Incorporated (the “Company”), a development stage company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 23, 1999.  The Company is a medical research company whose mission is the advancement of human health care.

 

The Company is currently researching the benefits and feasibility of synthesized Antifreeze Glycoproteins (“AFGP”) or anti-aging glycoproteins, trademarked AAGP.  During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company acquired certain patents and rights for cash consideration of $30,000 (25,000 Euros), as well as additional patent applications for cash consideration of $10,000 and 6,000,000 share purchase warrants with a fair value of $25,000 (Note 4).

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern.

 

The Company has not developed a commercially viable product, has not generated any significant revenue to date, and has incurred losses since inception, resulting in a net accumulated deficit at June 30,2023.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company needs additional working capital to continue its medical research or to be successful in any future business activities and continue to pay its liabilities.  Therefore, continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to accomplish its objective.  Management is presently engaged in seeking additional working capital through equity financing or related party loans. In addition, any significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, could negatively affect our liquidity and ability to continue operations. The exact impact is and will remain unknown and largely dependent upon future developments, including but not limited to information on the duration and spread of COVID-19, changes in customer demand, additional mitigation strategies proposed by governmental authorities (including federal, state, or local stay at home or similar orders), restrictions on the activities of our domestic and international suppliers and shipment of goods.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company fail in any of the above objectives and is unable to operate for the coming year.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 17, 2023, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The more significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include estimates as to valuation of equity related instruments issued, deferred income taxes, and the useful life and impairment of intangible assets.

 

Cash

 

Cash consists of funds held in checking accounts.  Cash balances may exceed federally insured limits from time to time.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments, which includes cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities pursuant to ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The policy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

Level 1 inputs are used to measure cash. At June 30, 2023, there were no other assets or liabilities subject to additional disclosure.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes following the asset and liability method in accordance with the ASC 740 “Income Taxes.”  Under such method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  The Company applies the accounting guidance issued to address the accounting for uncertain tax positions.  This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements as well as provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years that the asset is expected to be recovered or the liability settled.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

 

Intangible assets – patent and patent application costs

 

The Company owns intangible assets consisting of certain patents and patent applications. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

 

As at June 30, 2023, the Company does not hold any intangible assets with indefinite lives.

 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization method and amortization period of an intangible asset with a finite life is reviewed at least annually.

 

Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the Company’s patents. No amortization is recognized on patent application costs, as amortization of these costs will only commence once the patents have been granted.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Loss per Share and Potentially Dilutive Securities

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period.  Diluted loss per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive securities.  The effect of 94,290,000 stock options (June 30, 2022 – 94,690,000), and 13,300,000 warrants (June 30, 2022 – 11,800,000) were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share at for all periods presented because it was anti-dilutive at due to the Company’s losses.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company has granted warrants and options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to various parties for consulting services.  The fair values of the warrants and options issued have been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

 

The Company accounts for stock compensation with persons classified as employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which recognizes awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. Cliff Vesting is used and awards vest on the last day of the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of common shares issued for services is determined based on the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

 

Share-Based Compensation (cont’d)

 

Share-based compensation for non-employees in exchange for goods and services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations are also recorded at fair value on the measurement date and accounted for in accordance with ASC 718. The measurement of share-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying instruments vest. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period.

 

Common stock

 

Common stock issued for non-monetary consideration are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and classified as equity. The measurement date is defined as the earliest of the date at which the commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the common shares is reached or the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

 

Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of common stock, units and stock options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company.  A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Certain new accounting pronouncements that have been issued are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

  The effect of further sales or issuances of our common stock and the price and volume volatility of our common stock; and

 

  Our common stock’s limited trading history.

 

Finally, our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those detailed in our filings with the SEC under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023.  All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this paragraph and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Business Overview

 

ProtoKinetix, Incorporated is a research and development stage bio-technology company focused on scientific medical research of AFGPs (Anti-Freeze Glycoproteins) or anti-aging glycoproteins, trademarked as AAGP®.  The Company has recently been in the process of directing major efforts to the practical side of commercial validation.  The commercial applications for AAGP® in large markets such as targeted health care solutions are numerous, and ProtoKinetix is currently working with researchers, business leaders and advisors and commercial entities to bring AAGP® to market.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus Covid-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn.

 

As of the date of this filing, the Company has regained a significant portion of its operational capacity and we continue to move forward with our research goals. Our supply of the patented AAGP® molecule has been manufactured and stored in the United States and we have adequate inventory to carry out the projects currently underway. The Company engages contract research organizations (CROs) located in both the United States and Canada. The CROs contracted by the Company for research projects have been able to meet milestone goals without disruption due to the pandemic. In January of 2020, Protokinetix signed a master supply agreement with University of Alberta that clears the way for testing of additional patients in the Phase I clinical trials.  The global pandemic halted all work on clinical trials and research testing for most of 2020. Phase I trials were able restart mid-year 2021 but new strains of Covid continue to plague the US and Canada. We cannot accurately predict a completion date of Phase I trials.

We continue to monitor the status of the pandemic and will adjust our strategy accordingly in order to mitigate the impact on our research projects. The Company survived the adverse effects of the 2020 Covid outbreak and as at June 30, 2023 continues to carry out operations including raising funds for ongoing research and product development.

Results of Operations

 The following table shows selected financial data and operating results for the periods noted.  Following the table, please see management’s discussion of significant changes.

 

   For the Six Months Ended 
   June 30, 
   2023   2022 
EXPENSES        
Amortization  $22,266   $1,500 
General and Administrative   68,477    114,538 
Professional Fees   77,211    87,892 
Research and Development   54,661    265,974 
Share-Based Compensation   —     483,706 
Net loss for the period  $(222,615)  $(953,610)

  

Gross Profit and Expenses

The Company’s net loss was $222,615 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 compared to $953,610 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.  The expenses were primarily incurred for professional fees, consulting services related to the operations of the Company’s business, research and development and other general and administrative expenses.  Significant changes from the prior six-month period ended June 30, 2022 include:

 

General and administrative fees dropped by $46,061 from $114,538 to $68,477 primarily as a result of a decrease in spending on social media advertising, and investor relations. Additionally no current year project expenses related to product development.

 

Professional fees decreased by $10,681 from $87,892 to $77,211 due to decreases in legal and filing fees associated with private placement offering and SEC reporting.

 

Research and development expenditures decreased significantly year over year with a change of $211,313 from $265,974 to $54,661 as the Company pursues research partners for cost sharing and engages institutes with grants available for continued studies on our patented AAGP molecule.

 

Share-based compensation decreased by $483,706 from $483,706 to $Nil as a result of no further stock options being granted to directors and management of the Company as at June 30,2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following summarizes our balance sheet at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

 

   June 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
Cash  $18,655   $25,550 
           
Working Capital  (deficiency)  $6,449   $(14,930)

 

 At June 30, 2023, we had $18,655 in cash and $19,705 in total current assets and a working capital equity position of $6,449. Based upon our working capital equity as of June 30, 2023, we will require additional equity and/or debt financing in order to meet cash flow projections and carry forward our business objectives.  

 

There can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to raise capital from outside sources in sufficient amounts to fund our new business. The failure to secure adequate outside funding would have an adverse effect on our plan of operation and results therefrom and a corresponding negative impact on stockholder liquidity.

 

Sources and Uses of Cash

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities fell by $271,323 from $499,947 to $228,624 for the six-months ended June 30, 2022, and 2023, respectively. With the year over year change due to a reduction in accounts payable, a change in scheduled patent amortization and no share-based compensation granted during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $33,272 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 while the Company had net cash used in investing activities of $31,991 for the comparative period.  Minimal change year-over-year to scheduled maintenance fees on existing international patent portfolio.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $238,200 from $493,200 to $255,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2022, and 2023, respectively. The decrease of funding from private placements through the first of 2023 reflects the focus on finding financial partners for further research and development.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The history of losses and the inability for the Company to make a profit from selling a good or service has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In spite of the fact that the current cash obligations of the Company are relatively minimal, given the cash position of the Company, we have very little cash to operate. We intend to fund the Company and attempt to meet corporate obligations by selling common stock.  However, the price and volume of the Company’s common stock is volatile.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

None.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by paragraph (a)(5) of this Item.

 

 

21 
 

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and (ii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. 

 

Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results of operation and/or financial condition. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

 

While all of the significant accounting policies are important to the Company’s financial statements, the following accounting policies and the estimates derived there from have been identified as being critical.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock compensation with persons classified as employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which recognizes awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. Cliff Vesting is used and awards vest on the last day of the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of common shares issued for services is determined based on the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance.

 

Share-Based Compensation for non-employees in exchange for goods and services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations are also recorded at fair value on the measurement date and accounted for in accordance with ASC 718. The measurement of share-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying instruments vest. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

The Company is currently not selling or marketing any products.

 

Inflation

 

Although management expects that our operations will be influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

 

22 
 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.

 

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer (who is our principal executive officer), and Chief Financial Officer (who is our principal accounting officer) has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by 1934 Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of June 30, 2023 (the end of the period covered by this report).  Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

The Company, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its internal controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated by the SEC under the 1934 Act) during the six-months ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

23 
 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Other than previously reported, the Company and its management are not aware of any regulatory or legal proceedings or investigations pending involving the Company, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors or employees.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.  However, our current risk factors are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 17, 2023 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on May 2, 2023.

 

We face significant business disruption and related risks resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. 

 

The ongoing and developing COVID-19 pandemic has caused a broad impact globally. Even as the restrictions and other safety precautions implemented in response to the pandemic are eased or reduced over time, there may be long lasting effects of these precautions on our business that may only be fully realized in the future. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to assess or predict, any resulting recession or economic slowdown will have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.

 

As of the date of this filing, the Company has regained a significant portion of its operational capacity and we continue to move forward with our research goals. Our supply of the patented AAGP® molecule has been manufactured and stored in the United States and we have adequate inventory to carry out the projects currently underway. The Company engages contract research organizations (CROs) located in both the United States and Canada. The CROs contracted by the Company for research projects have been able to meet milestone goals without disruption due to the pandemic. We cannot predict future disruptions to the Company which may occur due to the spread of COVID-19. We continue to monitor the status of the pandemic and will adjust our strategy accordingly in order to mitigate the impact on our research projects.

 

In addition, any significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, could negatively affect our liquidity and ability to continue operations. The exact impact is and will remain unknown and largely dependent upon future developments, including but not limited to information on the duration and spread of COVID-19, changes in customer demand, additional mitigation strategies proposed by governmental authorities (including federal, state, or local stay at home or similar orders), restrictions on the activities of our domestic and international suppliers and shipment of goods. 

 

War in the Ukraine may impact the business of the Company and the financial markets in which the Company needs to raise capital.

 

Political and military events in Ukraine, including the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as ongoing tensions and intermittent warfare between Ukraine may have an adverse impact on our ability to grow our business.

  

For so long as the hostilities continue and perhaps even thereafter as the situation in Europe unfolds, we may see increased volatility in financial markets and a flight to safety by investors, which may make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional capital at the time when it needs to do so, or for financing to be available upon acceptable terms. We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown, instability or recovery.

 

Moreover, retaliatory acts by Russia in response to economic sanctions or other measures taken by the international community could include an increased number or severity of cyber-attacks from Russia or its allies. We are dependent on information technology systems, and any interruption, breach, or security lapse of those systems could adversely affect our results of operations. For example, the loss of data from any clinical trials could result in delays in research and development, and the loss, corruption, or unauthorized disclosure of our trade secrets, patents, or other proprietary information could compromise the commercial viability of our products. We may also incur additional costs in the future related to the implementation of additional security measures to protect against new or enhanced data security and privacy threats, or to comply with state, federal and international laws that may be enacted to address those threats.

 

All or any of these risks separately, or in combination could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

We may be adversely affected by the effects of inflation.

Inflation has the potential to adversely affect our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our overall cost structure. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, components, manufacturing and shipping, as well as weakening exchange rates and other similar effects. As a result of inflation, we have experienced and may continue to experience cost increases. Although we may take measures to mitigate the effects of inflation, if these measures are not effective, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Even if such measures are effective, there could be a difference between the timing of when these beneficial actions impact our results of operations and when the cost of inflation is incurred.
