NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with Rule 8-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures included in these unaudited condensed financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements, and in our opinion reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with US GAAP and SEC regulations for interim financial statements. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that the Company will have for any subsequent period or for the calendar year ended December 31, 2021. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 which was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company used net cash in operating activities for its continuing operations of $702,655 and incurred a loss from its continuing operations of $7,310,262. The accumulated deficit since inception is $23,920,294, which was comprised of operating losses and other expenses for both the continuing and discontinued operations.

 

The Company raised a total of $2,851,908 in convertible bridge notes (the “Bridge Notes”) starting in March 2017 and ending in 2019. In 2020, $2,928,679 of the Bridge Notes inclusive of principal and accrued and capitalized interest were converted by the holders into 13,312,175 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2021, all remaining Bridge Notes totaling $1,447,315 inclusive of principal and accrued and capitalized interest were converted into 6,578,701 shares of common stock. There are no Bridge Notes currently outstanding.

 

The Company’s convertible debentures totaling $35,000 and $480,000 of redeemable convertible preferred stock were in default as of June 30, 2021. Management is in discussions with the holders of these debt and equity securities to reach an agreement to convert the outstanding balances into common stock or otherwise amend the respective maturity and redemption dates.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a working capital surplus of $1,068,934.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate revenue and/or raise capital sufficient to support its continuing operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans which include implementation of its business model to develop and commercialize its drug candidate, seek strategic partnerships to advance clinical trials and other research endeavors which could provide additional capital to the Company, and continue to raise funds for the Company through equity or debt offerings. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

Our net loss from continuing operations in the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 resulted largely from activities related to the public company and in the 2021 period also from certain license and research expenses in connection with the continuing operations of the Company’s drug development business. All income and losses related to expenses from the Legacy Business are included in discontinued operations (see Note 9 - Discontinued Operations).

 

In January 2021, the Company closed a $2.5 million Series B Preferred Stock private placement to advance its new business model, which is expected to support continuing operations through the end of 2021. In 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, management also was able to reduce debt significantly, in part from the forgiveness of notes payable owed to EPH (see Note 4 – Separation Agreement) and also by converting a significant portion of additional liabilities into common stock (see Note 7 – Debentures, Convertible Bridge Notes and Notes Payable).
