KAIROS
PHARMA, LTD.
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
(In
thousands, except for share amounts and per share data)
NOTE
1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
and Operations
Kairos
Pharma, Ltd. (the “Company” or “Kairos”) was incorporated on June 17, 2013 under the laws of the state of California
as NanoGB13, Inc. The Company changed its name to Kairos Pharma, Ltd. on July 15, 2016 and subsequently converted into a Delaware corporation
under the same name, Kairos Pharm, Ltd., on May 10, 2023. The Company is an early-stage biotechnology company focused on the development
of immunotherapy and cell therapy treatments for oncology.
Basis
of Presentation of Unaudited Financial Information
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
accompanying 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.
During
the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,812
and had a shareholders’ deficit of $2,078
as of December 31, 2023. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,623
and used cash in operations of $2,152.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and received $5,524 of net
proceeds, before deducting deferred offering costs. Due to the funds received through the IPO, as well as the conversion
of convertible notes payable and certain accounts payable upon the closing of the IPO, the Company had shareholders’ equity of
$3,332 at September 30, 2024. The Company now expects its cash, totaling $3,217 at September 30, 2024, to last at least 12 months from the issuance date of this filing.
The
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations in the future, which will primarily be accomplished by raising additional capital to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.
Since inception, the Company has funded its operations primarily through equity and debt financings and it expects to continue to rely
on these sources of capital in the future until it is able to generate revenues.
No
assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to
the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, such financing may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the
case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
May 10, 2023, the Company effected a 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split of its common stock. The par value and the authorized shares of the
Company’s common stock were not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes to the financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented.
Reincorporation
The
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as filed with the State of Delaware on May 10, 2023, following the Company’s conversion
from a California corporation into a Delaware corporation, authorizes the Company to issue up to 120,000,000 shares, consisting of 100,000,000
shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. The accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements give retroactive effect to the reincorporation for
all periods presented.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Enviro Therapeutics, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and
assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it
believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results
experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences
between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements include the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and impairment analysis and useful
life for intangible assets.
Cash
For
the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash includes currency on hand with banks and financial institutions.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash deposits. Accounts at each
financial institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to certain limits.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company’s intangible assets are stated at fair value as of the date acquired, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated
based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, which were determined to be five years, using the straight-line method. The intangible
asset consists of a licensing agreement that the Company acquired through its acquisition of Enviro Therapeutics, Inc. during the year
ended December 31, 2021, with an acquisition cost of $800. Amortization expense relating to the intangible asset during the nine months
ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $120, respectively, with an unamortized balance of $382 and $262 at December 31, 2023 and September
30, 2024, respectively.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting
for the impairment of long-lived assets. A long-lived asset that is held and used should be tested for recoverability whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable regardless of whether such carrying
amount is zero or negative. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment determination
is required. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived
assets. No impairment was recorded relating to the Company’s intangible asset during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and
2023.
Net
Loss Per Share
Net
loss per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”)
is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive securities
are converted. When options or warrants are outstanding, dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method,
options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and funds obtained
thereby are assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. For the nine months ended September
30, 2023 and 2024, the basic and diluted shares outstanding were the same, as potentially dilutive shares were considered anti-dilutive.
At September 30, 2024 and 2023, the potentially dilutive securities consisted of 278,188 and 150,000
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise
of outstanding common stock purchase warrants, respectively, and 80,000 shares issuable upon vesting of unvested restricted stock units
(“RSUs”) as of September 30, 2024.
Deferred
Offering Costs
The
Company capitalizes certain legal, professional, accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity
issuances as deferred offering costs until such equity issuances are consummated. After consummation of the equity issuance, these costs
are recorded as a reduction in the capitalized amount associated with the equity issuance. Should the equity issuance be delayed or abandoned,
the deferred offering costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the Statement of Operations. As of December
31, 2023 and September 30, 2024, the Company had incurred $482 and $872 of deferred offering costs, respectively, related to the Company’s IPO.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a total of $872 of deferred offering costs were recorded against the net proceeds received
from the IPO.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities based on the exchange price in U.S. dollars that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize
the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy with three levels of
inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, to measure fair value:
|
● |
Level
1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
● |
Level
2 — Inputs, other than Level 1, that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets
or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable
market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
|
● |
Level
3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of
the assets or liabilities. |
The
carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate the related fair values
due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s convertible notes payable and notes
payable from officers approximate their fair values as the interest rates of the notes are based on prevailing market rates.
Income
Taxes
Income
tax expense is based on pretax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences
of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are recorded
to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. The Company recorded a 100% valuation allowance
against its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024.
The
Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The
first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more
likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any.
The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement.
The Company classifies the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as current to the extent that the Company anticipates payment (or
receipt) of cash within one year. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in the provision for income
taxes. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2024
and December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals
or material deviation from its position.
Patents
and Patent Application Costs
Although
the Company believes that its patents and underlying technology have continuing value, the amount of future benefits to be derived from
the patents is uncertain. Patent costs are therefore expensed as incurred and are included in General and administrative expenses on
the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. Patent expenses were $123 and $130 during the nine months ended September
30, 2024 and 2023.
Research
and Development Costs
The
Company expenses its research and development costs as incurred. Research and developments costs for the nine months ended September
30, 2024 and 2023 were $242 and $75, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures all stock
options and other stock-based awards granted based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation
expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. The Company
has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The reversal of compensation cost previously recognized for an award that is forfeited
because of a failure to satisfy a service or performance condition is recognized in the period of the forfeiture. Generally, the Company
issues stock options with only service-based vesting conditions and records the expense for these awards using the straight-line method
over the requisite service period.
The Company classifies stock-based
compensation expense in its statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified
or in which the award recipients’ service payments are classified.
The Company was a private company
until the completion of its IPO on September 17, 2024. The Company estimates the fair value of common stock using an appropriate valuation
methodology, in accordance with the framework of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Technical Practice Aid,
Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. Each valuation methodology includes estimates and assumptions
that require the Company’s judgment. These estimates and assumptions include a number of objective and subjective factors, including
external market conditions, guideline public company information, the prices at which the Company sold its common stock to third parties
in arms’ length transactions, the rights and preferences of securities senior to the Company’s common stock at the time, and
the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event such as an initial public offering or sale. Significant changes to the assumptions used
in the valuations could result in different fair values of stock options at each valuation date, as applicable.
The fair value of each stock
option or warrant grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company was a private company and lacked company-specific
historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimated its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility
of a publicly traded set of peer companies within the biotechnology industry with characteristics similar to the Company. The expected
term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as
“plain-vanilla” options or warrants. The expected term of stock options or warrants granted to non-employees is equal to the
contractual term of the option award. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect
at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero,
based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements
to Reportable Segment Disclosure, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced
disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included
in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s
profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures
required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, including the significant segment expense disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 beginning
January 1, 2024. The Company does not believe the impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements had a material impact
to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s
present or future consolidated financial statements.

the Company does not close an IPO transaction within 12 months of the date of the note, the Company will have the choice of paying
off the principal plus all accrued and unpaid interest, or the note’s principal balance will increase to 110% of its original
balance. The notes are convertible at the option of the noteholders into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per
share as defined in the agreement or will automatically be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at 60% of the
IPO price per share upon the closing of an IPO transaction. The net proceeds to the Company relating to the convertible notes, was $564.

and advisor to the Company and frequently works with early-stage pharmaceutical companies. The strategic advisory services consist of
corporate strategy, market positioning and long-term growth plans within the pharmaceutical sector, digital marketing and engagement,
market research analysis and business development assistance, among other things. During the one-year term of the Strategic Advisory
Agreement, in exchange for its services, the Company will pay BCA a $365 fee and will issue BCA 50,000 RSUs, which will vest at the end of six months following the date of issuance.
The payment of $365 is included in vendor advances on the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30,
2024.
The
Company valued the 50,000 shares of common stock at $100 based on the Company’s closing stock price on the effective date of the
agreement. The fair value will be amortized over the one-year term of the agreement (see Note 6). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, a total of $4 was recorded for the fair value of the RSU’s
that vested during the period.

Enviro
Therapeutics
On
June 2, 2021, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Enviro Therapeutics, Inc. (Enviro), entered into two Exclusive License Agreements
with Cedars, which granted Enviro exclusive licensing rights (which include the right to sublicense) with respect to certain patent rights
owned by Cedars, as follows:
|
● |
an
Exclusive License Agreement (the “Enviro-Cedars License Agreement (Mitochondrial DNA)”) for Enviro to develop, manufacture,
use and sell products utilized or derived from patent rights worldwide related to the “Compositions and Methods for Treating
Diseases and Conditions by Depletion of Mitochondrial DNA from Circulation and for Detection of Mitochondrial DNA” invented
by Dr. Neil Bhowmick and others; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
an
Exclusive License Agreement, (the “Enviro-Cedars License Agreement (Endoglin Antagonism)” and, collectively with the
Enviro-Cedars License Agreement (Mitochondrial DNA), the “Enviro-Cedars License Agreements”) for Enviro to develop, manufacture,
use and sell products utilized or derived from the patent rights and technical information worldwide related to the “Sensitization
of Tumors to Therapies Through Endoglin Antagonism” invented by Dr. Neil Bhowmick and others. |
In
exchange for each of the licenses, Enviro is required to pay an upfront license fee in the mid four-figures and low-five figures, respectively.
Enviro is also required to reimburse Cedars for the costs in the mid-to-high six figures incurred in the prosecution of the patent rights
subject to the Enviro-Cedars License Agreements prior to the date of execution of such agreements, and certain costs and fees then outstanding
aggregating in the low-six figures owed by Kairos pursuant to the Kairos-Cedars License Agreements. Pursuant to the Enviro-Cedars License
Agreements, Cedars shall also receive royalty payments of a mid-single-digit percentage of net sales of products associated with the
licensed patent right and less than one percent of net sales of other products derived from Cedars’ technical information, with
a minimum annual royalty fee in the low five-digits due beginning on the third anniversary of the effective date of the Enviro-Cedars
License Agreements. To the extent Enviro derives non-royalty sublicensing revenues, a high single-digit to low double-digit percentage
of such revenues would be due and payable to Cedars, with the actual percentage of such revenues dependent on the stage of FDA authorization
at the time the sublicense revenue is generated.
Enviro
is also required to pay Cedars in connection with achieving the following Payment Milestones relating to products derived from the patent
rights: successful completion of a Phase I clinical trial; successful completion of a Phase II clinical trial, receipt of FDA approval,
and approval for a Phase III clinical trial; FDA approval of an NDA or BLA; cumulative net sales exceeding $50,000; and cumulative net
sales exceeding $100,000. If all of these payment milestones are met among both of the Enviro-Cedars License Agreements, the required
milestone payments would total in the mid-to-high seven-figures.
Pursuant
to the Enviro-Cedars License Agreements, Enviro is obligated to meet the following Commercialization Milestones. Pursuant to the Enviro-Cedars
License Agreement (Endoglin Antagonism), Enviro is obligated to (1) obtain an IND for a patent product within 1 year of the effective
date of the agreement, (2) commence a Phase II trial within 2 years of the effective date of the agreement, and (3) submit an NDA or
BLA to the FDA or equivalent regulatory agency in another jurisdiction within 7 years of the effective date of the agreement. Pursuant
to the Enviro-Cedars License Agreement (Mitochondrial DNA), Enviro is obligated to (1) complete preclinical studies of a patent product
within 2 years of the effective date of the agreement, (2) complete toxicology studies within 2.5 years of the effective date of the
agreement, (3) obtain IND within 3 years of the effective date of the agreement, (4) begin a Phase I trial within 4 years of the effective
date of the agreement, and (5) submit an NDA or BLA to the FDA or equivalent regulatory agency in another jurisdiction within 7 years
of the effective date of the agreement. If the Commercialization Milestones are not met or extended, Cedars may convert the exclusive
licenses into non-exclusive licenses or to a co-exclusive licenses or terminate the licenses.
The
Enviro-Cedars License Agreements will, unless sooner terminated, continue in effect on a country-by-country basis until the last of the
patents covering the patent rights or future patent rights expires. Under the terms of the Enviro-Cedars License Agreements, unless waived
by Cedars, the agreements would automatically terminate: (a) if Enviro ceases, dissolves or winds up its business operations; (b) if
performance by either party jeopardizes the licensure, accreditation or tax exempt status of Cedars or the agreement is deemed illegal
by a governmental body; (c) within 30 days for non-payment of royalties or if Enviro fails to undertake commercially reasonable efforts
to exploit the patent rights or future patent rights; (d) within 60 days of Cedars’ failure to cure any breach or default of a
material obligation under the agreements; (e) within 90 days of Enviro’s failure to cure any breach or default of a material obligation
under the agreements; or (f) upon mutual written agreement of the parties.
On March 7, 2024, the Company and Enviro
entered into a conversion agreement with Cedars pursuant to which Cedars agreed to convert $750 of the $948 owed to it, at a conversion
rate of $2.40 per share, or 60% of the IPO price. As a result, the Company issued a total of 312,500 shares of common stock to Cedars.
License
Agreement with Tracon Pharmaceutical, Inc.
On
May 21, 2021, Enviro entered into a License Agreement with Tracon Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Tracon”). Pursuant to the Tracon
License Agreement, Tracon granted Enviro access to inactive IND filings for “TRC105” in the United States; ownership of “TRC105”
stored vials of drug product manufactured to GMP standards stored at Fisher Clinical or their designee; and assignment of Tracon’s
patent rights to its “CD105 technologies” (all as defined or described in the Tracon License Agreement).
Pursuant
to the Tracon License Agreement, Enviro paid Tracon an upfront fee of $100, and will pay Tracon an additional $500 upon its or its successor’s
completion of one or more financings through the sale of equity (or debt convertible to equity) in an amount of $10,000, and an additional
$500 within 10 days of its or its successor’s completion of one or more financings through the sale of equity (or debt convertible
into equity) in an amount of $22,000 (the payment of the $100 and the two payments of $500 are referred to in the aggregate as the “Cash
Consideration”). In addition, Enviro will pay Tracon a royalty of 3% of net sales on a country-by-country basis of the products
subject to the Tracon License Agreement, and non-royalty payments of 3% of sublicensing fees.
Enviro
issued Tracon equity ownership in Enviro equal to a number of shares of restricted common stock of Enviro equal to seven percent (7%)
on a fully-diluted and converted basis of all common and preferred shares of Enviro (the “Tracon-Enviro Equity”). In connection
with the Enviro-Kairos Share Exchange, the parties agreed that Tracon would receive, in exchange for its Enviro common stock, 420,000
restricted shares of Kairos Common Stock (which is equal to 1.41229% of the issued and outstanding shares of Kairos on a fully-diluted
and converted basis) as the Tracon-Enviro Equity. Until such time as Tracon has received all of the Cash Consideration (as defined in
the Tracon License Agreement), Enviro or its successor in interest, will issue to Tracon, without further consideration, any additional
shares of common stock of Enviro, or such successor in interest, necessary so that Tracon maintains ownership of shares of Enviro, or
such successor in interest, equal to the Tracon-Enviro Equity on a fully-diluted and converted basis of all stock in Enviro (or its successor).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tracon receives the full Cash Consideration within six (6) months of the effective date of the Tracon
License Agreement, then Tracon will automatically return to Enviro (or any successor entity, if applicable) a number of restricted shares
of the common stock of Enviro (or its successor) such that upon such return of shares Tracon will possess an amount of shares in Enviro
(or its successor) equal to two percent (2%) on a fully-diluted and converted basis relative to the other Enviro shareholders who exchanged
their shares in the Enviro-Kairos Share Exchange. The returned portion of the Tracon-Enviro Equity will automatically be terminated,
cancelled and of no further force and effect.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
(in
thousands, except for share amounts and per share data)
You
should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited consolidated
financial statements and related notes appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”), and with our audited financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in our prospectus dated September 16, 2024 (File Number: 333-274805)(the
“Prospectus”).
Special
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In
addition to historical information, some of the statements contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations
and any projections about future events. The following information and any forward-looking statements should be considered in light
of factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, along with the risks identified in the Prospectus under the title
“Risk Factors” and in our other filings with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
We
caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial
condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from the forward-looking statements
contained in this Quarterly Report. Statements made herein are as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report with the SEC and
should not be relied upon as of any subsequent date. Even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development
of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, they may not
be predictive of results or developments in future periods. We disclaim any obligation, except as specifically required by law and the
rules of the SEC, to publicly update or revise any such statements to reflect any change in our expectations or in events, conditions
or circumstances on which any such statements may be based or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those
set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
We
are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing therapeutics for cancer patients that are designed to overcome key hurdles in
immune suppression and drug resistance.
Our
mission is to advance our portfolio of innovative therapeutics to reverse key mechanisms of therapeutic resistance and immune suppression
and transform the way cancer is treated. We have leveraged molecular insights of the mechanisms of therapeutic resistance and immune
suppression to develop a new class of novel drugs that we expect will target drug resistance and checkpoints of immune suppression. As
of the date of this Quarterly Report, our product candidates have not been approved as
safe or effective by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or any other comparable foreign regulator.
Since
inception, our operations have focused on organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, acquiring and developing
our technology, establishing our intellectual property portfolio, identifying potential product candidates and undertaking preclinical
and clinical studies and manufacturing. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product
sales.
Since
inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our net losses were $1,623 and $1,812 for the nine months ended September 30,
2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $7,835. We expect
to continue to incur significant and increasing expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future, as we advance our current and
future product candidates through preclinical and clinical development, manufacture drug product and drug supply, seek regulatory approval
for our current and future product candidates, maintain and expand our intellectual property portfolio, hire additional research and
development and business personnel and operate as a public company.
We
will not generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete clinical development and obtain regulatory approval
for our product candidates. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates and do not enter into a third-party
commercialization partnership, we will likely incur significant expenses related to developing our commercialization capability to support
product sales, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution activities.
As
a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until we can
generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of public or private
equity offerings and debt financings or other sources, such as potential collaboration agreements, strategic alliances and licensing
arrangements. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on acceptable
terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such agreements as, and when needed, could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The
report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023
included an explanatory paragraph indicating that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. See Note
1 to our annual financial statements appearing at the Prospectus for additional information on our assessment.
At
September 30, 2024, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $3,217. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on
the Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations in the future and raising additional capital to meet its obligations and
repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Since inception, the Company has funded its operations
primarily through equity and debt financings and it expects to continue to rely on these sources of capital in the future.
No
assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to
the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the
case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
This
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on our financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these
financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of expenses during the
reporting periods. In accordance with GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe
are reasonable under the circumstances at the time such estimates are made. Actual results may differ materially from our estimates and
judgments under different assumptions or conditions. We periodically review our estimates in light of changes in circumstances, facts
and experience. The effects of material revisions in estimates are reflected in our financial statements prospectively from the date
of the change in estimate.
We
define our critical accounting policies as those accounting principles that require us to make subjective estimates and judgments about
matters that are uncertain and are likely to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations, as well as
the specific manner in which we apply those principles. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2
to our unaudited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quartey
Report, we believe the following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements that require
significant estimates and judgments.
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the development of our product candidates. We expense
research and development costs as incurred.
At
the end of each reporting period, we compare payments made to third-party service providers to the estimated progress toward completion
of the applicable research or development objectives. Such estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available.
Depending on the timing of payments to the service providers and the progress that we estimate has been made as a result of the service
provided, we may record net prepaid or accrued expenses relating to these costs. As of December 31, 2023, and September 30,
2024, we have not made any material adjustments to our prior estimates of accrued research and development expenses.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures all stock
options and other stock-based awards granted based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation
expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. The Company
has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The reversal of compensation cost previously recognized for an award that is forfeited
because of a failure to satisfy a service or performance condition is recognized in the period of the forfeiture. Generally, the Company
issues stock options with only service-based vesting conditions and records the expense for these awards using the straight-line method
over the requisite service period.
The Company classifies stock-based
compensation expense in its statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified
or in which the award recipients’ service payments are classified.
The Company was a private company
until the completion of its IPO on September 17, 2024. The Company estimates the fair value of common stock using an appropriate valuation
methodology, in accordance with the framework of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Technical Practice Aid,
Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. Each valuation methodology includes estimates and assumptions
that require the Company’s judgment. These estimates and assumptions include a number of objective and subjective factors, including
external market conditions, guideline public company information, the prices at which the Company sold its common stock to third parties
in arms’ length transactions, the rights and preferences of securities senior to the Company’s common stock at the time, and
the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event such as an initial public offering or sale. Significant changes to the assumptions used
in the valuations could result in different fair values of stock options or warrants at each valuation date, as applicable.
The fair value of each stock option or warrant grant is estimated using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company was a private company and lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility
information. Therefore, it estimated its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer
companies within the biotechnology industry with characteristics similar to the Company. The expected term of the Company’s stock
options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options.
The expected term of stock options granted to non-employees is equal to the contractual term of the option award. The risk-free interest
rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately
equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero, based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends
and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
During
the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, and the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we did not have, and we do not currently have,
any off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined under SEC rules).
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
For
a description of recently issued accounting standards that may have a material impact on our financial statements or will otherwise apply
to our operations, please see Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quartey
Report.
Emerging Growth
Company Status
As an “emerging growth company,” the Jumpstart Our Business
Startups Act of 2012 permits us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards
applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to “opt
out” of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards when they are required to be adopted
by public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Components
of Results of Operations
Net
Sales
We
have not generated any sales to date. There was no revenue recorded from any sources during the year ended December 31, 2023,
and the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Operating
Expenses
Our
operating expenses consist of (i) research and development expenses and (ii) general and administrative expenses.
Research
and Development Expenses
Dr.
Ramachandran Murali is our Vice President of Research and Development. Dr. Murali is a doctor and scientist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,
and is the inventor, with others, of three of the patent technologies that are subject to the Kairos-Cedars license agreements.
We are engaged in rolling out Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials for ENV-105
and a Phase 1 trial for KROS-201. In addition,
we are continuously performing preclinical research including animal models of disease, medicinal chemistry laboratory studies, formulation,
and toxicology and biodistribution studies. Our clinical development costs may vary significantly based on factors such as: per patient
trial costs; the number of trials required for approval; the number of sites included in the trials; the location where the trials are
conducted; the length of time required to enroll eligible patients; the number of patients that participate in the trials; the number
of doses that patients receive; the drop-out or discontinuation rates of patients; potential additional safety monitoring requested by
regulatory agencies; the duration of patient participation in the trials and follow-up; the cost and timing of manufacturing our product
candidates; the phase of development of our product candidates; and the efficacy and safety profile of our product candidates.
The
successful development and commercialization of product candidates is highly uncertain. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties
associated with product development and commercialization, including the following: the timing and progress of nonclinical and clinical
development activities; the number and scope of nonclinical and clinical programs we decide to pursue; raising necessary additional funds;
the progress of the development efforts of parties with whom we may enter into collaboration arrangements; our ability to maintain our
current development program and to establish new ones; our ability to establish new licensing or collaboration arrangements; the successful
initiation and completion of clinical trials with safety, tolerability and efficacy profiles that are satisfactory to the FDA or any
comparable foreign regulatory authority; the receipt and related terms of regulatory approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;
the availability of drug substance and drug product for use in production of our product candidate; establishing and maintaining agreements
with third-party manufacturers for clinical supply for our clinical trials and commercial manufacturing, if our product candidates are
approved; our ability to obtain and maintain patents, trade secret protection and regulatory exclusivity, both in the United States and
internationally; our ability to protect our rights in our intellectual property portfolio; the commercialization of our product candidates,
if and when approved; obtaining and maintaining third-party insurance coverage and adequate reimbursement; the acceptance of our product
candidate, if approved, by patients, the medical community and third-party payors; competition with other products; the impact of any
business interruptions to our operations, including the timing and enrollment of patients in our planned clinical trials, or to those
of our manufacturers, suppliers, or other vendors resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic or similar public health crisis; and a continued
acceptable safety profile of our therapies following approval.
A
change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of our product candidates could significantly change
the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. We may never succeed in obtaining regulatory approval
for any of our product candidates.
General
and administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, finance, corporate and business
development, as well as administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include legal fees relating to patent, corporate, IPO-related matters, and reporting matters; professional fees
for accounting, auditing, tax and administrative consulting services; insurance costs; administrative travel expenses; marketing expenses
and other operating costs.
We
anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support our business
operations. We also anticipate that we will incur increased accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, compliance and director and officer
insurance costs, as well as investor and public relations expenses associated with being a public company.

Other
Expenses
Other
expenses were $726 and $69 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in 2024 was due to financing
costs recorded during 2024 of $537 and the increase in debt discount amortization in 2024.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During
the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,812 and had a shareholders’ deficit of $2,078 as of December
31, 2023. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company
incurred a net loss of $1,623 and used cash in operations of $2,152.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and received $5,524 of net
proceeds from this offering, before deducting deferred offering costs. Due to the funds received through this offering, and the conversion
of convertible notes payable and certain accounts payable upon the closing of the IPO, the Company had shareholders’ equity of
$3,332 at September 30, 2024. The Company now expects its cash, totaling $3,217 at September 30, 2024, to last into the fourth quarter
of 2025.
The
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations in the future and
raising additional capital to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.
Since inception, the Company has funded its operations primarily through equity and debt financings and it expects to continue to rely
on these sources of capital in the future.
No
assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to
the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the
case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Operating
Activities
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we provided cash from operating activities of $15, compared to $2,152 used during the nine
months ended September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $1,623 and had non-cash
expenses of $845, compared to a net loss of $694 and non-cash expenses of $150 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The
primary non-cash expense incurred during both periods was amortization expense, totaling $120 during the nine months ended September
30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net change in assets and liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 provided
cash of $559, compared to $1,374 used during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The primary source of cash relating to the
change in assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was the increase in accounts payable and
accrued expenses. The primary use of cash was the increase in vendor advances.
Investing
Activities
There
was no cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 5,276 and $(353),
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, cash used in financing activities consisted of payments of
deferred offering costs of $390 and $353, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash provided by financing
activities consisted of $5,524 of proceeds from common stock issued in connection with the IPO and $142 from notes payable –
officers.
Debt
Agreements
Advances
from Related Parties
During
the year ended December 31, 2021, shareholders of the Company, and a company whose principal stockholder is also a stockholder of the
Company, advanced the Company $14, all of which was outstanding at December 31, 2021. The advances accrue no interest, are
unsecured and are due on demand. As of December 31, 2021, $14 was owed on the advances. During the year ended December 31,
2022, the Company repaid $10 of the advances, and as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, and September 30, 2024, a total of $4 remained outstanding.
Convertible
Notes Payable
During
the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into several convertible note payable agreements with certain investors. The convertible notes accrue interest at 6% per annum, are unsecured and are due by April 2025. If the
Company does not close an IPO transaction within 12 months following the date of issuance of the notes, the Company will have the choice
of paying off the principal plus all accrued and unpaid interest, or the note’s principal balance will increase to 110% of its
original balance. The notes are convertible at the option of the noteholders into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price
per share as defined in the agreement or will automatically be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at 60% of the
IPO price per share upon the closing of the IPO. The convertible note offerings were completed pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 506(b)
of the Securities Act. Boustead Securities, LLC acted as placement agent in each of the June and September 2022 private placements and
received five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock equal
to 7.0% of the number of the conversion shares at an exercise price equal to the conversion price.
As of September 30, 2024, $792 of
principal was outstanding on the notes and $92 of accrued and unpaid interest, which automatically converted into 368,371 shares of the Company’s
common stock upon the closing of the Company’s IPO.
Notes
Payable - Officers
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company borrowed $142 from three of its officers. The loans accrue interest at
7.5% per annum, are unsecured and are due one year from the issuance date, with the due dates ranging from April 2025 to August 2025.
Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the loans were repaid and the officers
were granted 36,269 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Conversion
of Accounts Payable
Subsequent
to December 31, 2023, we entered into agreements with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (“Cedars”) under which Cedars agreed
to convert $750 of the $988 total accounts payable due to them into 312,500 shares of our common stock, with such conversion to
occur upon the closing of the Company’s IPO. The conversion price of the shares will be equal to 60% of the per share IPO
price. Upon the closing of the Company’s IPO, the 312,500 shares were issued to Cedars and the $750 of debt was forgiven.
Conversion
of Amounts Due to Related Parties
Subsequent
to December 31, 2023, two officers and shareholders agreed to convert the $4 due to them into 1,664 shares of the Company’s
common stock, effective upon the closing of the Company’s IPO. The conversion price of the shares was equal to 60% of the per
share IPO purchase price. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the debt converted, and the 1,664 shares were
issued.
As
of September 30, 2024, an officer converted $172 of accounts payable owed primarily for past services into 51,610
shares of the Company’s common stock, effective upon the closing of the Company’s IPO. The conversion price of the shares
was equal to the IPO per share purchase price times a multiple of 1.2, as per the officer’s employment agreement.
Funding
Requirements
We
expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing research activities, particularly as we pursue the advancement
of our product candidates through clinical trials. In addition, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public
company. The timing and amount of our operating expenditures will depend on numerous variables, including: the initiation, progress,
timing, costs and results of the clinical trials for our product candidates or any future product candidates we may develop; the initiation,
progress, timing, costs and results of nonclinical studies for our product candidates or any future product candidates we may develop;
our ability to maintain our relationships with key collaborators; the outcome, timing and cost of seeking and obtaining regulatory approvals
from the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities, including the potential for such authorities to require that we perform more
nonclinical studies or clinical trials than those that we currently expect or change their requirements on studies that had previously
been agreed to; the cost to establish, maintain, expand, enforce and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including
the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with licensing, preparing, filing,
prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patents or other intellectual property rights; the effect of competing technological and market
developments; the costs of continuing to grow our business, including hiring key personnel and maintain or acquiring operating space;
market acceptance of any approved product candidates, including product pricing, as well as product coverage and the adequacy of reimbursement
by third-party payors; the cost of acquiring, licensing or investing in additional businesses, products, product candidates and technologies;
the cost and timing of selecting, auditing and potentially validating a manufacturing site for commercial-scale manufacturing; the cost
of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for any product candidates for which we may receive regulatory approval
and that we determine to commercialize; and our need to implement additional internal systems and infrastructure, including financial
and reporting systems.
We
believe that our existing cash, plus the net proceeds from the IPO, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure
requirements for at least the next 12 months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust
our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We expect that we will require additional funding to complete the clinical development
and commercialize our product candidates, if we receive regulatory approval, and pursue in-licenses or acquisitions of other product
candidates. If we receive regulatory approval for our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related
to product manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution, depending on where we choose to commercialize ourselves.
Until
such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity
and debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties. To
the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, ownership interest may be materially
diluted, and the terms of such securities could include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our current common stockholder. Debt financing and
preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specified
actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations,
strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights
to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable
to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required
to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market product
candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks.
As a “smaller reporting company,” we are not
required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The
term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, refers to
controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including its principal executive and
principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based on this evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a
reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2024.
In
designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no
matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure
controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was
required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The
design of any system of controls is also 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; over time,
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act)
that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
We are not presently party to any pending or other threatened
legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results,
although from time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We maintain insurance policies
in amounts and with the coverage and deductibles we believe are adequate, based on the nature and risks of our business, historical experience
and industry standards.
