APTORUM GROUP LIMITED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Stated in U.S. Dollars)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Aptorum Group Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary (collectively the “Group”).

 

The Company, formerly known as APTUS Holdings Limited and STRIKER ASIA OPPORTUNITIES FUND CORPORATION, is a company incorporated on September 13, 2010 under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability.

 

The Company researches and develops life science and biopharmaceutical products within its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aptorum Therapeutics Limited, formerly known as APTUS Therapeutics Limited (“Aptorum Therapeutics”) and its indirect subsidiary companies (collectively, “Aptorum Therapeutics Group”).

 

2. LIQUIDITY

 

The Group reported a net loss of $6,604,789 and net operating cash outflow of $6,193,088 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. In addition, the Group had an accumulated deficit of $70,824,179 as of June 30, 2023. The Group’s operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain if the Group will be able to reduce or eliminate its net losses for the foreseeable future. If management is not able to generate significant revenues from its product candidates currently in development, the Group may not be able to achieve profitability.

 

The Group’s principal sources of liquidity have been cash, line of credit facility from related parties, bank loan, public offerings and convertible bonds. As of the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group has approximately $2.3 million of unrestricted cash or cash equivalents, and approximately $12 million of undrawn line of credit facility from a related party. In addition, the Group will need to maintain its operating costs at a level through strict cost control and budget to ensure operating costs will not exceed such aforementioned sources of funds to continue as a going concern for a period within 12 months after the issuance of its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Group believes that available cash, together with the efforts from aforementioned management plan and actions, should enable the Group to meet current anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued and the Group has prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis. The Group may, however, need additional capital in the future to fund its continued operations. If the Group determine that its cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents the Group has at the time, the Group may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issuance and sale of additional equity or convertible debts would result in further dilution to its shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that might restrict its operations. The Group cannot assure that the financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Group, if at all.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of presentation and consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its direct and indirect wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, the Group also consolidate any variable interest entity (“VIE”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Group do not consolidate a VIE in which the Company has a majority ownership interest when the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of one of the VIE (see Note 13, Variable Interest Entity). The Company evaluates its relationships with the VIE on an ongoing basis to determine whether it becomes the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements as well as income and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements include fair value of long-term investments, fair value measurement for share options, impairment of long-lived assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Group reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group would recognize an impairment loss, which is the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, using the expected future discounted cash flows.

(Stated in U.S. Dollars)

 

Marketable securities

 

Marketable securities are publicly traded stocks measured at fair value and classified within Level 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy because the Group either uses quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, inputs that are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or quoted prices for identical assets in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transaction (less active markets).

  

Long-term investments

 

The Group’s long-term investments consist of equity method investment in common stocks and non-marketable investments in non-redeemable preferred shares of privately-held companies that are not required to be consolidated under the variable interest or voting models. Long-term investments are classified as non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as those investments do not have stated contractual maturity dates.

 

Non marketable investments

 

The non-marketable equity securities not accounted for under the equity method are measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Adjustments are determined primarily based on a market approach as of the transaction date.

 

Equity method investment – Fair value option

 

The Group elects the fair value option for an investment that would otherwise be accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Such election is irrevocable and is applied on an investment by investment basis at initial recognition. The fair value of such investments is based on quoted prices in an active market, if any, or recent orderly transactions for identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Changes in the fair value of these equity method investments are recognized in other income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.

 

Where there is evidence that the utility of inventories, in their disposal in the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes, the inventories are written down to net realizable value. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the impairment losses were $17,124 and $nil respectively.

Operating leases

 

At the inception of a contract, the Group determines if the arrangement is, or contains, a lease. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentives received. As the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Group uses incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date in determining the imputed interest and present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. The lease term for all of the Group’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Group’s option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. For operating leases, the Group recognizes a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

 

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and the Group recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenues are derived from healthcare services rendered to patients for healthcare consultation and medical treatment. Revenue is reported at the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for providing healthcare services.

 

The Group recognizes revenue as its performance obligations are completed. Healthcare services are treated as a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time because the performance obligations are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day.

 

The Group determines the transaction price based on established billing rates.  The Group considers the patient's ability and intent to pay the amount of consideration upon admission.  Subsequent changes resulting from a patient’s ability to pay are recorded as bad debt expense, which is included as a component of other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the bad debt expenses were $nil and $71 respectively. 

  

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

The FASB has recently issued various updates, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries. Management does not expect the adoption has material effect on the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

13. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

 

The Company consolidates VIEs in which the Group has a variable interest and is determined to be the primary beneficiary. This determination is based on whether the Group has a variable interest (or combination of variable interests) that provides the Company with (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. The Group continually reassesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE throughout the entire period the Group is involved with the VIE.

 

On December 30, 2021, three of the Group’s subsidiaries, Libra Sciences Limited (“Libra”, formerly known as Aptorum Pharmaceutical Development Limited),   Mios Pharmaceuticals Limited (“Mios”) and Scipio Life Sciences Limited (“Scipio”), issued Class A and Class B ordinary shares to various parties; for each such entity, each Class A ordinary share is entitled to 1 vote and 1 share of economic benefit of the respective company, while each Class B ordinary share is entitled to 10 votes and 0.001 share of economic benefit of the respective company. Following such share issuances, the Group lost its majority voting rights in each of these three companies and only holds 48.33%, 48.39% and 48.36% economic interest in Libra, Mios and Scipio, respectively. However, the Company still holds a majority of each of these three company’s outstanding Class A ordinary shares and therefore will absorb/receive portions of these subsidiaries’ expected losses or residual returns. In addition, none of these three companies have sufficient equity to sustain its own activities, and they have two classes of ordinary shares which have different rights, benefits and obligations. The Company determined that all these three companies are variable interest entities (“VIE”). On December 31, 2021, Libra, Mios and Scipio further issued Class A ordinary shares to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in exchange of certain projects licenses. Upon these share issuances, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, was holding 97.27% economic interest and 31.51% voting power in Libra, 97.93% economic interest and 36.17% voting power in Mios, and 97.93% economic interest and 35.06% voting power in Scipio, respectively.

 

The Company has considered each of these entity’s Memorandum and Article of Association and their respective board of directors (the sole director of each of Mios and Scipio is an executive director of the Group), and determined that The Company has the power to manage and make decisions that affect Mios and Scipio’s research and development activities, which activities most significantly impact Mios and Scipio’s economic performance. However, the Company does not have such power over Libra’s research and development activities, which activities most significantly impact Libra’s economic performance. Accordingly, the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Mios and Scipio, but not the primary beneficiary of Libra.

 

The following tables summarize the aggregate carrying value of VIEs’ assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets that are consolidated

The Group’s maximum exposure to loss from its involvement with unconsolidated VIE represents the estimated loss that would be incurred if the VIE is liquidated, so that the fair value of the equity investment in VIE is zero and the amounts due from the VIE have to be fully impaired.

 

On January 1, 2022, the Group entered into an administrative management services agreement with Libra. According to the agreement, the Group will provide documentation and administrative services, including but are not limited to human resources and payroll administration, general secretarial and administrative support, and accounting and financial reporting services. The Group is entitled to receive a fixed amount of services fees of HKD 25,000 (approximately $3,205) per calendar month with the expiry date on December 31, 2023. The Group and Libra Sciences Limited mutually agreed to terminate the administrative management service agreement effect as of March 31, 2023.

 

On January 13, 2022, the Group entered a line of credit facility with Libra to provide up to a total $1 million in line of credit debt financing for its daily operation. The line of credit will mature on January 12, 2023, extendable for up to 3 years, and the interest on the outstanding principal indebtedness will be at the rate of 10% per annum. The Group and Libra Science Limited mutually agreed to terminate the line of credit agreement effect as of March 31, 2023. All existing liabilities arising from the line of credit agreement shall remain enforceable and repayable on demand by the Group. As of the date of this condensed consolidated financial statements, $0.5 million is outstanding from Libra Sciences Limited.

18. NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share:

 

   For the six months ended

   2023   2022 
   (Unaudited)   (Unaudited)

(1)All per share amounts and shares outstanding for all periods have been retroactively restated to reflect APTORUM GROUP LIMITED's 1 for 10 reverse stock split, which was effective on January 23, 2023.

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. Potential dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share in loss periods as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the total number of share options and warrants excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive nature, are 775,338 and 621,100, respectively.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

IN CONNECTION WITH THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 AND 2022

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Report on Form 6-K and with the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2023 (the “2023 Form 20-F”). This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in the 2023 Form 20-F under the section titled “Risk Factors” and in other parts of the 2023 Form 20-F. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Overview

 

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic assets to treat diseases with unmet medical needs, particularly in oncology (including orphan oncology indications) and infectious diseases. The pipeline of Aptorum is also enriched through (i) the establishment of drug discovery platforms that enable the discovery of new therapeutics assets through, e.g. systematic screening of existing approved drug molecules, and (ii) the co-development of a novel molecular-based rapid pathogen identification and detection diagnostics technology with Accelerate Technologies Pte Ltd, commercialization arm of the Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research.

 

Based on our evaluation of preliminary data and our consideration of a number of factors including substantial unmet needs, benefits over existing therapies, potential market size, competition in market, the Company decides how to prioritize its resources among projects. Overall, our rationale for selecting Lead Projects is not based on any mechanical formula or rigid selection criteria, but instead focused on a combination of the factors and individual attributes of the Lead Projects themselves.

 

Our current business consists of “therapeutics” and “non-therapeutics” segments. However, our focus is on the therapeutics segments.

 

Our goal is to develop a broad range of novel and repurposed therapeutics and diagnostics technology across a wide range of disease/therapeutic areas. Key components of our strategy for achieving this goal include:

 

  ● Developing therapeutic and diagnostic innovations across a wide range of disease/therapeutic areas;

 

  ● Selectively expanding our portfolio with potential products that may be able to attain orphan drug designation and/or satisfy current unmet medical needs;

 

  ● Collaborating with leading academic institutions and CROs;

 

  ● Expanding our in-house pharmaceutical development center;

 

  ● Leveraging our management’s expertise, experience and commercial networks;

 

  ● Obtaining and leveraging government grants to fund project development.

 

We have devoted a substantial portion of the proceeds from our offerings to our Lead Projects. Our Lead Projects are ALS-4, SACT-1 and PathsDx. In March 2023, we announced that we have completed Pre-IND Discussions with the US Food and Drug Administration (“US FDA”). The Pre-IND discussions with US FDA focused on overall development plan in preparation for the IND application of ALS-4 that will initially target Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI). With the positive feedback on the overall development strategy from the US FDA, Aptorum is now proceeding towards the IND submission of ALS-4. In June 2023, we announced that we have submitted the relevant Phase 1b/2a clinical trial protocol of SACT-1 to US FDA. We also processing clinical validation of our molecular based PathsDx and will continue to undergo validations during 2023, in parallel with its pre-commercialization process in 2023.

 

 

 

 

In May 2023, our subsidiary, Aptorum Therapeutics Limited (“ATL”), a company incorporated under the laws of Grand Cayman Islands entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent and Term Sheet (“Term Sheet”) to merge (“Transaction”) its 100% subsidiary, Paths Innovation Limited and its underlying business (collectively “PathsDx Group”) with Universal Sequencing Technology Corporation (“UST”), a San Diego and Boston based US company dedicated to the development and commercialization of advanced proprietary DNA sequencing technologies. Paths Innovation Limited currently holds, through its majority owned subsidiary Paths Diagnostics Pte. Limited, the PathsDx technology – a liquid biopsy NGS based technology for the diagnostics of infectious diseases. As consideration of the transaction upon closing, ATL will become a shareholder of the combined company. The transaction and other ancillary distributions, where relevant, remain subject to, among other matters, the execution of a mutually agreeable definitive agreement, completion of due diligence and subject to several conditions including, but not limited to, director and shareholder approvals.

 

In June 2023, we entered into securities purchase agreements to sell $3,000,000 unsecured convertible notes to 4 investors (the “June 23 Notes”). All the June 23 Notes were subsequently converted into an aggregate of 1,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.00001 per share.

 

In September 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement to sell a $3,000,000 unsecured convertible note (“Sep 23 Note”) to Jurchen Investment Corporation, our largest shareholder. The Sep 23 Note is convertible into our Class A Ordinary Shares, and have a maturity date that is 24 months from the issuance date, although upon such date the investor has the right to extend the term of the Note for twelve (12) months or more or such term subject to mutual consent. The Sep 23 Note has an interest rate of 6% per annum and a conversion price of $2.42 per share. The Sep 23 Note is secured by a first priority lien and security interest on certain shares that we own (“Collateral”). Upon our disposal of all or a portion of the Collateral, the investor has the right, to request that we prepay the then-remaining outstanding balance of the Sep 23 Note, in part or in full and we can make that payment in cash or in shares.

 

Factors Affecting our Results of Operations

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

We believe our ability to successfully develop innovative drug candidates will be the primary factor affecting our long-term competitiveness, as well as our future growth and development. Creating high quality global first-in-class or best-in-class drug candidates requires significant investment of resources over a prolonged period of time. As a result of this commitment, our pipeline of drug candidates has been steadily advancing.

 

Our drug candidates are still in development, and we have incurred and will continue to incur significant research and development costs for pre-clinical studies and clinical trials. We expect that our research and development expenses may significantly increase in future periods in line with the advancement and expansion of the development of our drug candidates.

 

We have been able to fund the research and development expenses for our drug candidates through a range of sources, including the proceeds raised from our public offering and follow-on offerings on Nasdaq, private placement to other investors and line of credit facilities from shareholders, related parties and banks.

 

This diversified approach to funding allows us to not depend on any one method of funding for our research and development activities, thereby reducing the risk that sufficient financing will be unavailable as we continue to accelerate the development of our drug candidates.

RESULTS OF OPERATION

 

COVID-19 Uncertainty

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic.

 

The coronavirus pandemic continues to have global impacts on workforces, economies, and financial markets. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of any adverse effects that the pandemic may have on the Company's business or ability to raise funds. As of the date of this Form 6-K, COVID-19 has had minimal impact on the Company's ability to conduct its operations but may impact the Company's ability to raise funding should restrictions related to COVID-19 be expanded in scope.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

 

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Revenue

 

Healthcare services income was $431,378 and $527,462 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which related to the services income derived from the AML clinic. The decline in healthcare services income was attributed primarily to the strategic decision to suspend clinic services in the second quarter of 2023. This was done to reallocate resources towards the development of the Company's leading projects.

 

Cost of healthcare services

 

Cost of healthcare services was $426,063 and $529,991 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which related to the fixed and variable costs in providing healthcare services by AML clinic. The decline in cost of healthcare services was aligned with the decline in revenue when compared to last period.

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses comprised of costs incurred related to research and development activities, including payroll expenses to our research and development staff, service fees to our consultants, advisory and contracted research organization, depreciation of laboratory equipment and amortization of licensed patents, sponsored research programs with various universities and research institutions and costs in acquiring IP rights which did not meet the criteria of capitalization under the U.S. GAAP. The following table sets forth a summary of our research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. As a consequence of exclusive emphasis on its lead projects and suspension of non-lead projects, there was a notable decrease in the utilization of external consultants and fully impairment of patents related to these non-lead projects. Moreover, the payroll expenses for research and development staff decreased as a result of the reversal of deferred cash bonus payables to employees and consultants during current period. The reversal was due to the Group’s agreements with employees and consultants to discharge the Group’s obligation to settle their outstanding deferred cash bonus payables from previous years in exchange of fully vested ordinary shares.

Other operating expenses

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the other operating expenses were $330,212 and $183,104, respectively.

Net loss attributable to Aptorum Group Limited

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, net loss attributable to Aptorum Group Limited (excluding net loss attributable to non-controlling interests) was $5,487,104 and $1,885,252, respectively.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Group reported a net loss of $6,604,789 and net operating cash outflow of $6,193,088 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. In addition, the Group had an accumulated deficit of $70,824,179 as of June 30, 2023. The Group’s operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain if the Group will be able to reduce or eliminate its net losses for the foreseeable future. If management is not able to generate significant revenues from its product candidates currently in development, the Group may not be able to achieve profitability.

 

The Group’s principal sources of liquidity have been cash, line of credit facility from related parties, bank loan, public offerings and convertible bonds. As of the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group has approximately $2.3 million of unrestricted cash or cash equivalents, and approximately $12 million of undrawn line of credit facility from a related party. In addition, the Group will need to maintain its operating costs at a level through strict cost control and budget to ensure operating costs will not exceed such aforementioned sources of funds to continue as a going concern for a period within 12 months after the issuance of its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Group believes that available cash, together with the efforts from aforementioned management plan and actions, should enable the Group to meet current anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued and the Group has prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis. The Group may, however, need additional capital in the future to fund its continued operations. If the Group determine that its cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents the Group has at the time, the Group may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issuance and sale of additional equity or convertible debts would result in further dilution to its shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that might restrict its operations. The Group cannot assure that the financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Group, if at all.

Operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $6.2 million and $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities declined due to the implementation of stringent budgetary control measures, as a result of the Company's exclusive emphasis on its lead projects.

  

Investing activities

 

Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $0.6 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities was due to the decrease in cash received from related parties for loan repayment by $2.4 million.

 

Financing activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $1.1 million and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in net cash inflow from financing activities was primarily a result of the repayment of a bank loan in the amount of $3.1 million and a decrease of $0.5 million in borrowed loans during the period. This decrease was partly offset by the proceeds generated from the issuance of shares through at-the-market offering, totaling $1.6 million.

Aptorum Group Limited Reports Financial Results and Business Update for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

 

Aptorum Group Limited (NASDAQ: APM) (“Aptorum Group” or the “Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to meeting unmet medical needs in oncology, autoimmune and infectious diseases, today provided a business update and announced financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

“During the first half of 2023, we remained focused on advancing the development of our therapeutic programs. We continue to work towards advancing our ALS-4 and SACT-1 clinical programs and our PathsDx liquid biopsy program through potential collaborations. In light of the macroeconomic environment, we remain vigilant at controlling costs and resources of the company whilst continuing to advance our development objectives of the above programs as well,” said Mr. Ian Huen, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Aptorum Group Limited.

 

Clinical Pipeline Update and Upcoming Milestones

 

In January 2023, Aptorum Group announced publication of a co-authored paper on one of its lead project, PathsDx Technology, for assessing a rapid-turnaround low-depth unbiased metagenomics sequencing workflow on Illumina platforms. PathsDx Test was shown to be robust, rapid and sensitive for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. The paper is titled, “Towards a rapid-turnaround low-depth unbiased metagenomics sequencing workflow on the Illumina platforms” and has been published online in Medrxiv, which can be downloaded at the following website address: https://medrxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.01.02.22283504v1.

 

In March 2023, Aptorum Group announced the completion of the Pre-IND discussions with the US Food and Drug Administration (“US FDA”) for ALS-4. ALS-4 is a first-in-class small molecule anti-virulence drug targeting infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, including but not limited to Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (“MRSA”). The Pre-IND discussions with US FDA focused on overall development plan in preparation for the IND application of ALS-4 that will initially target Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI). With the positive feedback on the overall development strategy from the US FDA, Aptorum is now proceeding towards the IND submission of ALS-4.

 

In June 2023, Aptorum Group announced the group has submitted the relevant Phase 1b/2a clinical trial protocol of SACT-1, an orally administered repurposed small molecule drug for the treatment of neuroblastoma to US FDA. The Phase 1b/2a study of SACT-1 submitted is for the combination with chemotherapy for first relapse or refractory high risk neuroblastoma. The targeted objectives of the Phase 1b part of the study based on neuroblastoma patients to be enrolled is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) based on safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy and the Phase 2a part of the study based on neuroblastoma patients to be enrolled will be used to assess the preliminary efficacy of SACT-1.

 

Corporate Highlights

 

In May 2023, Aptorum Group announced that its subsidiary, Aptorum Therapeutics Limited (“ATL”), a company incorporated under the laws of Grand Cayman Islands, entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent and Term Sheet (“Term Sheet”) to merge (“Transaction”) its 100% subsidiary, Paths Innovation Limited and its underlying business (collectively “PathsDx Group”) with Universal Sequencing Technology Corporation (“UST”), a San Diego and Boston based US company dedicated to the development and commercialization of advanced proprietary DNA sequencing technologies. Paths Innovation Limited currently holds, through its majority owned subsidiary Paths Diagnostics Pte. Limited, the PathsDx technology – a liquid biopsy NGS based technology for the diagnostics of infectious diseases. As consideration of the transaction upon closing, ATL will become a shareholder of the combined company. The Transaction and other ancillary distributions, where relevant, remain subject to, among other matters, the execution of a mutually agreeable definitive agreement, completion of due diligence and subject to several conditions including, but not limited to, director and shareholder approvals.

 

In June 2023, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements to sell $3,000,000 unsecured convertible notes to 4 investors (the “June 23 Notes”). All the June 23 Notes were subsequently converted into an aggregate of 1,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.00001 per share. The whole proceeds from the June 23 Note was used to settle a related party loan.

 

 

 

 

In September 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement to sell a $3,000,000 unsecured convertible note (“Sep 23 Note”) to Jurchen Investment Corporation, the largest shareholder of the Group. The Sep 23 Note is convertible into the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, and have a maturity date that is 24 months from the issuance date, although upon such date the investor has the right to extend the term of the Note for twelve (12) months or more or such term subject to mutual consent. The Sep 23 Note has an interest rate of 6% per annum and a conversion price of $2.42 per share. The Sep 23 Note is secured by a first priority lien and security interest on certain shares that the Company owns (“Collateral”). Upon the Company’s disposal of all or a portion of the Collateral, the investor has the right, to request that the Company prepay the then-remaining outstanding balance of the Sep 23 Note, in part or in full and the Company can make that payment in cash or in shares.

 

In November 2023, Aptorum Group announced the resignations of Mr. Darren Lui and Dr. Clark Cheng from their positions as executive directors and key officers. Concurrently, Mr. Ian Huen, a current director of the Company, took on the role of Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Huen previously served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer from October 2017 until his prior resignation in June 2022. With his extensive experience and contributions to the Company during significant events, the Board is confident that Mr. Huen will play a crucial role in realizing the Company’s full potential.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company raised approximately $1,625,745 in gross proceeds pursuant to the issuance of an aggregate of 215,959 Class A ordinary shares under the Company’s $15 million at-the-market (“ATM”) program established on March 26, 2021. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and the Company’s development programs.

 

Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

 

Aptorum Group reported a net loss of $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in net loss in the current period was driven by there was a gain on non-marketable investment of $5.6 million in 2022 while there was no such gain in the current period. The increase is partly offset by the decrease in operating expenses due to the implementation of stringent budgetary control measures, as a result of the Company’s exclusive emphasis on its lead projects.

 

Research and development expenses were $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2022. As a consequence of exclusive emphasis on its lead projects and suspension of non-lead projects, there was a notable decrease in the utilization of external consultants and full impairment of patents related to these non-lead projects. Moreover, the payroll expenses for research and development staff decreased as a result of the reversal of deferred cash bonus payables to employees and consultants during current period. The reversal was due to the Group’s agreements with employees and consultants to discharge the Group’s obligation to settle their outstanding deferred cash bonus payables from previous years in exchange of fully vested ordinary shares.

 

General and administrative fees were $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in general and administrative fees was primary due to the reversal of deferred cash bonus payables to employees during current period. The reversal was due to the Group’s agreements with employees to discharge the Group’s obligation to settle their outstanding deferred cash bonus payables from previous years in exchange of fully vested ordinary shares. 

 

Legal and professional fees were $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in legal and professional fees was attributed mainly to several non-routine activities undertaken during current period, such as the implementation of a reverse stock split and amendments to the memorandum and articles of association. These exercises involved engaging legal and professional services beyond regular operations, resulting in an increase in associated fees.

 

As of June 30, 2023, cash and restricted cash totaled approximately $0.5 million and total equity was approximately $12.8 million.

 

In September 2023, Aptorum Group received $3 million from the issuance of a convertible note. Aptorum Group expects that its existing cash and restricted cash together with undrawn line of credit facility from related parties, will enable it to fund its operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.

ORGANIZATION

1. ORGANIZATION

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Aptorum Group Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary (collectively the “Group”).

LIQUIDITY

2. LIQUIDITY

 

The Group reported a net loss of $6,604,789 and net operating cash outflow of $6,193,088 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. In addition, the Group had an accumulated deficit of $70,824,179 as of June 30, 2023. The Group’s operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain if the Group will be able to reduce or eliminate its net losses for the foreseeable future. If management is not able to generate significant revenues from its product candidates currently in development, the Group may not be able to achieve profitability.

 

The Group’s principal sources of liquidity have been cash, line of credit facility from related parties, bank loan, public offerings and convertible bonds. As of the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group has approximately $2.3 million of unrestricted cash or cash equivalents, and approximately $12 million of undrawn line of credit facility from a related party. In addition, the Group will need to maintain its operating costs at a level through strict cost control and budget to ensure operating costs will not exceed such aforementioned sources of funds to continue as a going concern for a period within 12 months after the issuance of its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Group believes that available cash, together with the efforts from aforementioned management plan and actions, should enable the Group to meet current anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued and the Group has prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis. The Group may, however, need additional capital in the future to fund its continued operations. If the Group determine that its cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents the Group has at the time, the Group may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issuance and sale of additional equity or convertible debts would result in further dilution to its shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that might restrict its operations. The Group cannot assure that the financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Group, if at all.

The Group do not consolidate a VIE in which the Company has a majority ownership interest when the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of one of the VIE (see Note 13, Variable Interest Entity). The Company evaluates its relationships with the VIE on an ongoing basis to determine whether it becomes the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements as well as income and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements include fair value of long-term investments, fair value measurement for share options, impairment of long-lived assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Group reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group would recognize an impairment loss, which is the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, using the expected future discounted cash flows.

 

Marketable securities

 

Marketable securities are publicly traded stocks measured at fair value and classified within Level 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy because the Group either uses quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, inputs that are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or quoted prices for identical assets in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transaction (less active markets).

  

Long-term investments

 

The Group’s long-term investments consist of equity method investment in common stocks and non-marketable investments in non-redeemable preferred shares of privately-held companies that are not required to be consolidated under the variable interest or voting models. Long-term investments are classified as non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as those investments do not have stated contractual maturity dates.

 

Non marketable investments

 

The non-marketable equity securities not accounted for under the equity method are measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Adjustments are determined primarily based on a market approach as of the transaction date.

 

Equity method investment – Fair value option

 

The Group elects the fair value option for an investment that would otherwise be accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Such election is irrevocable and is applied on an investment by investment basis at initial recognition. The fair value of such investments is based on quoted prices in an active market, if any, or recent orderly transactions for identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Changes in the fair value of these equity method investments are recognized in other income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.

 

Where there is evidence that the utility of inventories, in their disposal in the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes, the inventories are written down to net realizable value. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the impairment losses were $17,124 and $nil respectively.

 

Operating leases

 

At the inception of a contract, the Group determines if the arrangement is, or contains, a lease. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentives received. As the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Group uses incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date in determining the imputed interest and present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. The lease term for all of the Group’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Group’s option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. For operating leases, the Group recognizes a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

 

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and the Group recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenues are derived from healthcare services rendered to patients for healthcare consultation and medical treatment. Revenue is reported at the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for providing healthcare services.

 

The Group recognizes revenue as its performance obligations are completed. Healthcare services are treated as a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time because the performance obligations are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day.

 

The Group determines the transaction price based on established billing rates.  The Group considers the patient's ability and intent to pay the amount of consideration upon admission.  Subsequent changes resulting from a patient’s ability to pay are recorded as bad debt expense, which is included as a component of other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the bad debt expenses were $nil and $71 respectively. 

  

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

The FASB has recently issued various updates, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries. Management does not expect the adoption has material effect on the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Non-marketable investments

 

The Group’s non-marketable investments are investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values. The carrying value of the non-marketable investments are adjusted based on price changes from observable transactions of identical or similar securities of the same issuer (referred to as the measurement alternative) or for impairment if the carrying amount of the non-marketable investments may not be fully recoverable. Any changes in carrying value are recorded within other income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The following is a summary of annual upward or downwards adjustments and impairment recorded in other income (loss), net, and included as adjustments to the carrying value of non-marketable investments held as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 based on the observable price in an orderly transaction for the same or similar security of the same issuers:

Note a: On August 13, 2019, Aptorum Therapeutics Limited (“ATL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into financing arrangements with Aeneas Group Limited, a related party, and Jurchen Investment Corporation, the ultimate parent of the Group, allowing ATL to access up to a total $15 million in line of credit debt financing. Both line of credits have originally matured on August 12, 2022. ATL and Aeneas Group Limited has mutually agreed to extend the line of credit arrangement further 3 years to August 12, 2025. The interest on the outstanding principal indebtedness is at the rate of 8% per annum. ATL may early repay, in whole or in part, the principal indebtedness and all interest accrued at any time prior to the maturity date without the prior written consent of the lender and without payment of any premium or penalty. As of the date of this condensed consolidated financial statements, the undrawn line of credit facility is $12 million.

 

Note b: On November 17, 2021, Aptorum Therapeutics Limited (the “Lender”) entered into a loan agreement with Talem Medical Group Limited (the “Borrower”). According to the loan agreement, the Lender granted a loan of up to AUD4,700,000 for the Borrower for general working capital purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries. The loan is interest-bearing at a rate of 10% per annum and secured by the entire issued shares of Talem Medical Group (Australia) Pty Limited held by the Borrower.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

13. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

 

The Company consolidates VIEs in which the Group has a variable interest and is determined to be the primary beneficiary. This determination is based on whether the Group has a variable interest (or combination of variable interests) that provides the Company with (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. The Group continually reassesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE throughout the entire period the Group is involved with the VIE.

 

On December 30, 2021, three of the Group’s subsidiaries, Libra Sciences Limited (“Libra”, formerly known as Aptorum Pharmaceutical Development Limited),   Mios Pharmaceuticals Limited (“Mios”) and Scipio Life Sciences Limited (“Scipio”), issued Class A and Class B ordinary shares to various parties; for each such entity, each Class A ordinary share is entitled to 1 vote and 1 share of economic benefit of the respective company, while each Class B ordinary share is entitled to 10 votes and 0.001 share of economic benefit of the respective company. Following such share issuances, the Group lost its majority voting rights in each of these three companies and only holds 48.33%, 48.39% and 48.36% economic interest in Libra, Mios and Scipio, respectively. However, the Company still holds a majority of each of these three company’s outstanding Class A ordinary shares and therefore will absorb/receive portions of these subsidiaries’ expected losses or residual returns. In addition, none of these three companies have sufficient equity to sustain its own activities, and they have two classes of ordinary shares which have different rights, benefits and obligations. The Company determined that all these three companies are variable interest entities (“VIE”). On December 31, 2021, Libra, Mios and Scipio further issued Class A ordinary shares to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in exchange of certain projects licenses. Upon these share issuances, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, was holding 97.27% economic interest and 31.51% voting power in Libra, 97.93% economic interest and 36.17% voting power in Mios, and 97.93% economic interest and 35.06% voting power in Scipio, respectively.

 

The Company has considered each of these entity’s Memorandum and Article of Association and their respective board of directors (the sole director of each of Mios and Scipio is an executive director of the Group), and determined that The Company has the power to manage and make decisions that affect Mios and Scipio’s research and development activities, which activities most significantly impact Mios and Scipio’s economic performance. However, the Company does not have such power over Libra’s research and development activities, which activities most significantly impact Libra’s economic performance. Accordingly, the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Mios and Scipio, but not the primary beneficiary of Libra.

 

The following tables summarize the aggregate carrying value of VIEs’ assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets that are consolidated

 

   Assets   Liabilities   Net Assets

The Group’s maximum exposure to loss from its involvement with unconsolidated VIE represents the estimated loss that would be incurred if the VIE is liquidated, so that the fair value of the equity investment in VIE is zero and the amounts due from the VIE have to be fully impaired.

 

On January 1, 2022, the Group entered into an administrative management services agreement with Libra. According to the agreement, the Group will provide documentation and administrative services, including but are not limited to human resources and payroll administration, general secretarial and administrative support, and accounting and financial reporting services. The Group is entitled to receive a fixed amount of services fees of HKD 25,000 (approximately $3,205) per calendar month with the expiry date on December 31, 2023. The Group and Libra Sciences Limited mutually agreed to terminate the administrative management service agreement effect as of March 31, 2023.

 

On January 13, 2022, the Group entered a line of credit facility with Libra to provide up to a total $1 million in line of credit debt financing for its daily operation. The line of credit will mature on January 12, 2023, extendable for up to 3 years, and the interest on the outstanding principal indebtedness will be at the rate of 10% per annum. The Group and Libra Science Limited mutually agreed to terminate the line of credit agreement effect as of March 31, 2023. All existing liabilities arising from the line of credit agreement shall remain enforceable and repayable on demand by the Group. As of the date of this condensed consolidated financial statements, $0.5 million is outstanding from Libra Sciences Limited.

(1)All per share amounts and shares outstanding for all periods have been retroactively restated to reflect APTORUM GROUP LIMITED's 1 for 10 reverse stock split, which was effective on January 23, 2023.

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. Potential dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share in loss periods as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the total number of share options and warrants excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive nature, are 775,338 and 621,100, respectively.

The Group do not consolidate a VIE in which the Company has a majority ownership interest when the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of one of the VIE (see Note 13, Variable Interest Entity). The Company evaluates its relationships with the VIE on an ongoing basis to determine whether it becomes the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Use of estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements as well as income and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements include fair value of long-term investments, fair value measurement for share options, impairment of long-lived assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Impairment of long-lived assets

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Group reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group would recognize an impairment loss, which is the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, using the expected future discounted cash flows.

 
Marketable securities

Marketable securities

Marketable securities are publicly traded stocks measured at fair value and classified within Level 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy because the Group either uses quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, inputs that are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or quoted prices for identical assets in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transaction (less active markets).
Long-term investments

Long-term investments

The Group’s long-term investments consist of equity method investment in common stocks and non-marketable investments in non-redeemable preferred shares of privately-held companies that are not required to be consolidated under the variable interest or voting models. Long-term investments are classified as non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as those investments do not have stated contractual maturity dates.

Non marketable investments

The non-marketable equity securities not accounted for under the equity method are measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Adjustments are determined primarily based on a market approach as of the transaction date.

Equity method investment – Fair value option

The Group elects the fair value option for an investment that would otherwise be accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Such election is irrevocable and is applied on an investment by investment basis at initial recognition. The fair value of such investments is based on quoted prices in an active market, if any, or recent orderly transactions for identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Changes in the fair value of these equity method investments are recognized in other income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Inventories

Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.

Where there is evidence that the utility of inventories, in their disposal in the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes, the inventories are written down to net realizable value. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the impairment losses were $17,124 and $nil respectively.

 
Operating leases

Operating leases

At the inception of a contract, the Group determines if the arrangement is, or contains, a lease. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentives received. As the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Group uses incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date in determining the imputed interest and present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. The lease term for all of the Group’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Group’s option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. For operating leases, the Group recognizes a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and the Group recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

Revenues are derived from healthcare services rendered to patients for healthcare consultation and medical treatment. Revenue is reported at the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for providing healthcare services.

The Group recognizes revenue as its performance obligations are completed. Healthcare services are treated as a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time because the performance obligations are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day.

The Group determines the transaction price based on established billing rates.  The Group considers the patient's ability and intent to pay the amount of consideration upon admission.  Subsequent changes resulting from a patient’s ability to pay are recorded as bad debt expense, which is included as a component of other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the bad debt expenses were $nil and $71 respectively. 
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

The FASB has recently issued various updates, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries. Management does not expect the adoption has material effect on the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
