RENOVARO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Business On February 13, 2024, the Company changed its corporate name from Renovaro Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Inc. (“Renovaro”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “us”). Renovaro Inc. operates through two subsidiaries, Renovaro Biosciences and Renovaro Cube. Renovaro Cube refers to Renovaro Cube Intl Ltd. (formerly known as GediCube Intl. Ltd.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries GediCube, B.V. and Grace Systems B.V., which were acquired on February 13, 2024.

 

Renovaro Biosciences is a biotechnology company intending to develop advanced allogeneic cell and gene therapies to promote stronger immune system responses potentially for long-term or life-long cancer remission in some of the deadliest cancers, and potentially to treat or cure serious infectious diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections. Renovaro Cube is an AI-driven healthcare technology company focusing on the earliest possible detection of cancer and its recurrence. Renovaro Cube has developed a proprietary AI platform that analyzes genetics using Explainable AI to provide earlier and more accurate cancer diagnosis.

 

Basis of PresentationThe Company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and follows the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2024, and 2023 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s June 30, 2024 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Consolidation For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates include the fair value of assets acquired in a business acquisition, contingent consideration, and equity instruments issued for goods or services.

 

Functional Currency & Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of Renovaro Biosciences Denmark ApS is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”) and the functional currency of Renovaro Cube is the Euro (“EUR”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.

  

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2024. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

7

 

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring; (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are to be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company currently believes there are no other issued and not yet effective accounting standards that are materially relevant to our condensed consolidated financial statements. 

NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred substantial recurring losses from continuing operations, has used cash in the Company’s continuing operations, and is dependent on additional financing to fund operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $44,212,036 and $9,175,028 for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $220,571 and an accumulated deficit of $368,891,461 and a working capital deficit of $21,087,220. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

Management has reduced overhead and administrative costs by streamlining the organization to focus around the development and validation of its AI-driven cancer diagnostics platform. The Company has tailored its workforce to focus on these activities. In addition, the Company intends to secure additional required funding through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any sources of funding. Such additional funding may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms, and, in the case of equity financing transactions, could result in significant additional dilution to our stockholders. If we do not obtain required additional equity or debt funding, our cash resources will be depleted and we could be required to materially reduce or suspend operations, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations, we could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that could result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us.

 

Funding that we may receive during the fiscal year 2025 is expected to be used to satisfy existing and future obligations and liabilities and working capital needs, to support commercialization of our products, to conduct the clinical and regulatory work to develop our product candidates, and to begin building working capital reserves.

 

NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

8

 

 

  Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

  Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

  Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

There were no Level 1, 2 or 3 assets, nor any Level 1 or 2 liabilities as of September 30, 2024.

 

Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, lease obligations and notes payable approximate their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.

 

Level 3 liabilities held as of September 30, 2024, consisted of a contingent consideration liability related to the February 13, 2014 acquisition of Renovaro Cube, (the “Acquisition”). As consideration for the Acquisition, the stockholders of Renovaro Cube received (i) 70,834,183 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) the right to receive contingent shares pro rata upon the exercise of convertible notes, options, and warrants, which were outstanding at closing. The contingent consideration liability was recorded at fair value of $20,557,500 at the time of the Acquisition and is subsequently remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. As of September 30, 2024, there were 7,613,301 contingent shares issuable in connection with the Acquisition.

 

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and a Monte-Carlo option pricing model. The key inputs to the model are all contractual or observable with the exception being volatility, which is computed based on the volatility of the Company’s underlying stock. The key inputs to valuing the contingent consideration liability as of September 30, 2024, were:

 

     
Stock Price  $0.48 
Exercise Price   $0.46 - $8.23 
Volatility   113% - 134% 
Risk Free Rate   3.52% - 4.31% 
Expected Dividends   0%
Expected Term (years)   0.489.25 

 

The following table sets forth the Level 3 liability at September 30, 2024, which is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis. As required, this liability is classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement: 

 

          
   Fair Value Measurements at

Reporting Date Using
   Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for Identical Assets Inputs
  Significant Other
Observable Inputs
  Significant Other Unobservable Inputs
   (Level 1)  (Level 2)  (Level 3)
          
The roll forward of the contingent consideration liability is as follows:               
Balance June 30, 2024          $12,310,000 
Fair value adjustment           (9,250,000)
Contingent Consideration Liability at September 30, 2024          $3,060,000

NOTE 4 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

 

On February 13, 2024, the Company acquired Renovaro Cube as a wholly owned subsidiary pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. As part of the acquisition of Renovaro Cube, the Company acquired goodwill valued at $159,464,039.

 

Impairment – During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the results of the assessment indicated that the carrying value of the RENC reporting unit exceeded its fair value, due to the changes in the projected economic benefits to be realized from this reporting unit. Management concluded the significant driver for the change in the economic benefits was due to the Company’s continued inability to raise capital for the further development of the technologies within this reporting unit. Therefore, an impairment adjustment of $47,614,729 was recorded for the period ended September 30, 2024.

 

At September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, definite-life and indefinite-life intangible assets consisted of the following:

 

                      
   Useful Life  June 30, 2024   Additions   Amortization   Impairment  Translation Adjustment  September 30, 2024
Definite Life Intangible Assets                                 
Patents  20 Years  $284,977   $   $   $   $11,644   $296,621 
Less Accumulated Amortization      (254,934)       (2,501)       (10,436)   (267,871)
Net Definite-Life Intangible Assets     $30,043   $   $(2,501)  $   $1,208   $28,750 
                                  
Goodwill                                 
Goodwill      159,330,161            (47,614,729)   6,455,913    118,171,345 
Total Goodwill     $159,330,161   $   $   $(47,614,729)  $6,455,913   $118,171,345 

 

Expected future amortization expense is as follows:

 

    
Years ended June 30,   
 2025   $7,189 
 2026    7,187 
 2027    7,187 
 2028    7,187 
 Total   $28,750

During the quarter ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, no shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park were sold under the Purchase Agreement.

 

Common Stock Issuances

 

On June 14, 2024, Renovaro Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) closed a private placement of 5,315,215 of the Company’s units, each such Unit consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) one common stock purchase warrant to purchase one-tenth of a share of Common Stock, with certain investors (the “June 2024 Private Placement”). Related to the June 2024 Private Placement, ranging from July 3, 2024, to September 16, 2024, the Company sold 1,423,456 Units at a price per Unit equal to $1.4726 to a certain investor who paid in cash an aggregate amount of $2,096,181 in consideration of the Units.

 

On August 1, 2024, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock for consulting services valued at $1,400,000.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs for stock option awards to employees and directors based on their grant-date fair value. The value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are as follows in the three months ended September 30, 2024:

 

     
   Renovaro Inc.
Expected term (in years)   5.5 
Volatility   113.12%
Risk free interest rate   4.22%
Dividend yield   0%

 

On August 23, 2024, Avram Miller, a former member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), forfeited 833,333 shares of Common Stock from the original 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for advisory services originally granted to him on October 11, 2023. As consideration for such forfeiture, the Company granted to Mr. Miller, an option to purchase 978,261 shares of Common Stock of the Company with a per-share exercise price of, $0.69. The Company determined that this transaction represented a modification of the original award. The Company measured the fair value of the options issued as compared to the fair value of the original issuance and determined that there was no incremental compensation to recognize as the fair value of the options was less than the fair value of the Common Stock. Therefore, the Company will recognize the remaining fair value of the original award over the remaining vesting period, which is one year.  The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $222,306 related to the vesting of the stocks options during the period ended September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2024, the Company had $1,122,537 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the options which vest at August 23, 2025.

 

12

 

 

In total, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to options of $357,648 and $983,829 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $1,239,528 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options.

The Company asserts claims for fraudulent concealment, equitable fraud, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy and seeks, inter alia, equitable relief, including, but not limited to, return to the Company any shares received in connection with the merger, and damages. On October 1, 2024, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint.

 

NOTE 8 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has accrued $283,652 of compensation related expenses for the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Mark Dybul, related to budget constraints.

 

On August 23, 2024, Avram Miller, a former member of the Board of Directors, forfeited 833,333 shares of Common Stock from the original 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for advisory services originally granted to him on October 11, 2023. As consideration for such forfeiture, the Company granted to Mr. Miller, an option to purchase 978,261 shares of Common Stock of the Company with a per-share exercise price of, $0.69. The Company determined that this transaction represented a modification of the original award. The Company measured the fair value of the options issued as compared to the fair value of the original issuance and determined that there was no incremental compensation to recognize as the fair value of the options was less than the fair value of the Common Stock. Therefore, the Company will recognize the remaining fair value of the original award over the remaining vesting period, which is one year.  The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $222,306 related to the vesting of the stocks options during the period ended September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2024, the Company had $1,122,537 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the options which vest at August 23, 2025.

NOTE 9 — SEGMENT REPORTING

 

For the period ending September 30, 2024, the Company had two reportable segments. These segments have different strategic and economic goals and are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies.

 

Reportable Segment   Description
RENB (United States)   Developing new immunotherapies to combat cancer
RENC (Netherlands)   Developing a predicative artificial intelligence based diagnostic methodology for the use of earlier cancer detection

 

The Company’s chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker and reviews the internal management reports for each segment at least quarterly. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, there were no significant inter-company revenues or expenses. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for each segment and decides how to allocate resources based on segment operating losses that also is reported on the consolidated statement of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

 

          
   Operating loss  Assets
United States  $4,960,737   $2,856,326 
Netherlands   48,377,817    118,976,311 
   $53,338,554   $121,832,637 

 

The chief operating decision maker uses loss from operations to evaluate the performance of each segment’s assets in deciding how to allocate available capital between segments. The chief operating decision maker also uses loss from operations in their competitive analysis by benchmarking the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing the performance of the segment.

 

Information regarding each reportable segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, is as follows:

 

               
   RENB  RENC  Total
General and administrative  $4,548,449   $752,802   $5,301,251 
Research and development   381,686    8,503    390,189 
Goodwill impairment       47,614,729    47,614,729 
Depreciation and amortization   30,602    1,783    32,385 
                
Segment operating loss  $4,960,737   $48,377,817   $53,338,554 

 

Geographic information:

 

RENB and RENC are managed on a worldwide basis but operate in offices located in the United Stated and the Netherlands, respectively. The geographic information analyses the Company’s operations and assets based on the country in which each segment operates. In presenting this geographic information, segment operating results have been based on the geographic location in which the services were provided to the segment and segment assets were based on the geographic location of the assets.

NOTE 10 — ACQUISITION

 

On September 28, 2023, the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with GEDi Cube Intl Ltd., a private company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“GEDi Cube”) to acquire 100% of the equity interests of GEDi Cube from its equity holders (the “Sellers”). On September 28, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company, and the board of managers of GEDi Cube unanimously approved the Purchase Agreement and on January 25, 2024, the shareholders of the Company approved the issuance of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. On February 13, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the acquisition of GEDi Cube and the other transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”). As a result of the Transaction, GEDi Cube became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as of the Closing Date, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding equity interests of GEDi Cube owned by the Sellers as of the Closing Date (each, a “GEDi Cube Share” and, collectively, the “GEDi Cube Shares”) in exchange for which each Seller was entitled to receive (i) as of the Closing Date, such Seller’s pro rata percentage of an aggregate of 70,834,183 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), which represents the 67,224,089 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date (minus (a) 1 million shares of Common Stock previously issued to a consultant assisting with the Transaction and (b) 1 million shares of Common Stock previously issued to Avram Miller, a director of the Company, pursuant to his Advisory Agreement, dated October 11, 2023, by and between Mr. Miller and the Company) (the “Closing Consideration”) plus 5,610,100 shares of Common Stock representing the Seller’s Earnout Shares (defined below) resulting from the automatic conversion of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred and, (ii) following the Closing Date, such Seller’s pro rata percentage of the shares of Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares” and, together with the Closing Consideration, the “Exchange Consideration”) to be issued to the Sellers upon the exercise or conversion of any of the Company’s derivative securities (subject to certain exceptions) that are outstanding at the Closing Date (the “Closing Derivative Securities”). Each Seller’s pro rata percentage of the Exchange Consideration is equal to the ratio of the aggregate number of GEDi Cube Shares owned by such Seller divided by the aggregate number of GEDi Cube Shares issued and outstanding, in each case, as of the Closing Date.

 

The transaction was accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805-10 - Business Combinations. As a result of the issuance of the Closing Consideration on the Closing Date and based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date, the Sellers held approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the closing of the Transaction and the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were initially recognized provisionally in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values as of the acquisition date are based on information that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company completed its accounting for this acquisition during the period ended June 30, 2024. As a result of the completion of the Company’s analysis, the amount of provisional in-process research and development was determined to have a value of nil. Accordingly, the amount of goodwill recognized was increased to include the previously recognized provisional amount of in-process research and development. There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as a result of this change to the provisional allocation.

 

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled approximately $156.6 million, which consisted of the following:

 

     
Common stock  $136,001,631 
Contingent consideration   20,557,500 
Total consideration transferred  $156,559,131 

 

The fair value of the Company’s common shares issued as consideration was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the Acquisition Date. The fair value of the contingent consideration was based on the Sellers’ right to receive additional shares of common, pro rata, upon the exercise or conversion of warrants, options and convertible notes payables outstanding as of the Closing Date.

The following table details the provisional fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

 

     
Cash  $65,851 
Prepaid & Other Assets   151,544 
Fixed Assets   16,243 
Operating lease ROU   624,366 
Total Assets Acquired:   858,004 
      
Accounts Payable   583,577 
Accrued Expenses   722,509 
Operating Lease liability   624,367 
Notes Payable   1,832,460 
Total Liabilities Assumed   3,762,913 
Net Assets Acquired   (2,904,909)
      
Goodwill   159,464,040 
Total Consideration  $156,559,131 

 

The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Gedi Cube. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

The fair values of the acquired tangible and intangible assets were determined using variations of the income approach. The income approach valuation methodology used for the intangible assets acquired makes use of Level 3 inputs.

 

The amounts of revenue and loss of Renovaro Cube, included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations from the three months ended September 30, 2024 are as follows:

 

     
Revenues  $

Our Business

 

Renovaro Inc. operates through two subsidiaries, Renovaro Biosciences and Renovaro Cube. Renovaro Cube refers to Renovaro Cube Intl. Ltd. (formerly known as GediCube Intl. Ltd.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries GediCube, B.V. and Grace Systems B.V., which were acquired on February 13, 2024.

 

Renovaro Biosciences Overview

 

Renovaro Biosciences is a biotechnology company intending, if the necessary funding is obtained, to develop advanced allogeneic cell and gene therapies to promote stronger immune system responses potentially for long-term or life-long cancer remission in some of the deadliest cancers, and potentially to treat or cure serious infectious diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections. As a result of our acquisition of GEDi Cube Intl Ltd. on February 13, 2024, we have shifted the Company’s primary focus and resources to the development of the Renovaro Cube technologies.

 

Therapeutic Technologies

 

Renovaro Biosciences aims to train the immune system to allow a person to better fight diseases through allogeneic cell and/or gene therapy. Our vision is for a world with healthy longevity, and free from toxic chemotherapy, for those with cancer and other serious diseases. Renovaro Biosciences will seek to leverage general principles and advances in the knowledge of the immune response to engineer cells with enhanced attributes to promote the recognition and elimination of disease cells.

 

20

 

 

Allogeneic Cell Therapy

 

The strategic benefit of the allogeneic cell therapy technologies is to potentially allow for the manufacture of large, “off-the-shelf” banks of therapeutic cells that are readily available on demand by healthcare professionals, to potentially decrease the time between diagnosis and treatment.

 

In certain treatments (e.g., HIV and cancer), cells taken from healthy donors are engineered to introduce signaling molecules that are designed to enhance the ability of specific immune cells to recognize diseased cells, and to help recruit other cells that will destroy cancer or virus infected cells.

 

Gene Therapy

 

Renovaro Biosciences may also seek to explore various approaches for gene therapy design elements to potentially eliminate virus-infected or cancer cells by the modulation of the patient’s immune system. Upon injecting into the patients, these genetically engineered allogeneic cells have little to no risk of passing those modifications to the patient since they are terminally differentiated with locked functionality to activate the host immune system. Gene modified allogeneic cells are expected to be rejected naturally once they activate the patient’s immune system therefore will have a very short survival time.

 

Renovaro Biosciences Focus Areas: 

 

Oncology:

 

RENB-DC11: Genetically modified Allogeneic Dendritic Cell Therapeutic Vaccine as Potential Product for Long-term Remission of Solid Tumors; specifically Pancreatic tumors

 

Allogeneic Cell Therapy Platform – Completed pre-IND, IND-enabling phase.

 

Based on learnings from our internal research, literature reviews of ongoing clinical development for solid tumors, and recent advances in immune modulation, we have designed an innovative therapeutic vaccination platform that could potentially be used to induce life-long remission from some of the deadliest solid tumors such as pancreatic, liver, triple negative breast and head & neck cancers.

 

The platform may one day enable broad immune enhancements that are combined with cancer specific antigens that could be applicable to a wide range of solid tumors. This approach allows us to quickly adapt our approach to any patient solid tumor using the same banked allogenic drug substance.

 

RENB-DC20: Genetically modified Allogeneic Dendritic Cell Therapeutic Vaccine as Potential Treatment Product for Long-term Remission of Triple Negative Breast Cancer

 

Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer that is negative for estrogens receptor (ER) negative, progesterone receptor (PR) negative and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). TNBC is characterized by its unique molecular profile, aggressive nature, and distinct metastatic patterns that lack targeted therapies. TNBC is well known for its aggressive behavior and is characterized by onset at a younger age, high mean tumor size, and higher-grade tumors.

 

Based upon our internal research, literature reviews of ongoing clinical development for solid tumors, and recent advances in immune modulation, we believe we may have the ability to design an innovative therapeutic vaccination platform that could potentially be used to treat some of the deadliest and hard-to-treat solid tumors that include triple negative breast cancer.

 

21

 

 

Infectious Diseases:

 

RENB-HV12: Genetically Modified Allogeneic Dendritic Cell Therapeutic Vaccine as Potential Treatment Product for Long-term Remission of HIV; A Chronic Infectious Disease

 

The oncology therapeutic vaccine technology could potentially be adapted to target infectious disease antigens and be a viable therapeutic approach in difficult to treat chronic infectious diseases. As described above, the engineered allogenic dendritic cell drug substance is thought to be able to be loaded with various cancer antigens for specific solid tumors but could or may be loaded with infectious disease antigens to elicit a more robust immune response to viruses and other difficult to treat infections.

 

Renovaro Cube Overview

 

Renovaro Cube is an AI-driven healthcare technology company focusing on the earliest possible detection of cancer and its recurrence. Renovaro Cube has developed a proprietary AI platform that analyzes genetics using Explainable AI (as defined below) to provide earlier and more accurate cancer diagnosis. This platform uses a multi-omics approach to search for individual biomarkers that are present even in asymptomatic patients. This approach is combined with differential molecular capabilities that are designed to identify, differentiate and pinpoint the exact source. Renovaro Cube’s process also involves the mining of biomarker panels, which are integrated into a machine learning library referred to as “RenovaroCube” to further enhance diagnosis.

 

Renovaro Cube also aims to utilize its proprietary AI platform in the development of commercial products to support clinical, research and pharmaceutical organizations that are trying to improve patient care through precision diagnosis, prediction of success of therapy, new drug discovery, treatment protocols or clinical trials. Specifically, Renovaro Cube is focused on developing products and services aimed at (i) early cancer characterization, (ii) personalized treatment selection, (iii) prediction and tracking response to therapies, (iv) recurrence detection and efficacy monitoring, and (v) ultimately, drug discovery.

 

Renovaro Cube was initially incorporated as Grace Systems B.V. (“Grace Systems”) in 2013 under the laws of the Netherlands to develop unique data mining algorithms to enable banking, finance and government entities to extract business insights from data. Grace Systems began applying its algorithms to biological data in 2018 to uncover cancer-associated patterns. Beginning in 2018, Grace Systems pivoted its platform to focus only on healthcare. Renovaro Cube has focused on developing its AI technology for early cancer detection.

 

Renovaro Cube has now focused on commercialization of its AI technology. Renovaro Cube believes that it has developed a unique approach to the early detection and diagnosis of cancer and its recurrence and, in time, other rare diseases through the systematic analysis of data using AI technologies, data mining procedures and algorithms for health technology.

 

Renovaro Cube’s technology has been trained on complex heterogeneous cancer data and appears to find patterns associated with cancer in public and private data resources. With the help of Renovaro Cube’s algorithms, discovered patterns may be translated into biomarkers that can be used in a clinical setting to target various aspects of cancer diagnosis and treatment.

 

Renovaro Cube’s Strategy

 

Renovaro Cube’s product development focuses on four core areas:

 

  Early Detection. Multi-cancer early detection (“MCED”) blood tests are advanced diagnostic tools that analyze cell-derived molecules present in the bloodstream. These tests specifically look for abnormal genetic, epigenetic or proteomic patterns of these cell-derived molecules, which can indicate the presence of cancer cells. By examining the molecules shed from various cells, including cancer cells, MCED tests aim to detect cancer at an early stage. This approach holds promise for improving cancer detection and potentially saving lives.

 

22

 

 

  Recurrence of cancer. A recurrence refers to the return of cancer after a period of remission. A cancer recurrence happens because, in spite of the efforts to kill the cancer, some cells may remain, which grow and eventually cause symptoms. In rare instances, a patient may develop a new cancer that’s completely unrelated to the originally diagnosed cancer, which is referred to as a second primary cancer. An early warning system could help to identify a recurrence as early as possible, thereby helping to accelerate any treatment and diagnosis. The different types of recurrence include:

 

  o Local recurrence, meaning that the cancer has returned in the same place it first started;

 

  o Regional recurrence, meaning that the cancer has returned to the lymph nodes near the place it first started; and

 

  o Distant recurrence, meaning the cancer has returned in another part of the body.

 

  Response to treatment. At Renovaro Cube we aim to develop a new array of diagnostic products that can accurately identify patients that are going to respond or fail to a certain drug. In highly toxic therapies it will not only increase survival but will also reduce unnecessary exposure to chemotherapy. Furthermore, the costs for cancer drugs are usually very high. Providing the right therapy to the right patient will therefore significantly reduce the costs of medicine in cancer.

 

  Clinical trials. Clinical trials involve a type of research that studies new tests and treatments and evaluates their effects on human health outcomes. People volunteer to take part in clinical trials to test medical interventions including drugs, cells and other biological products, surgical procedures, radiological procedures, devices, behavioral treatments and preventive care. Clinical trials are carefully designed, reviewed and completed, and need to be approved before they can start.

 

In response to these four core areas, the key components of Renovaro Cube’s product development are to build a software and hardware platform that:

 

  Uses data science to develop novel insights into the characterization of diseases such as cancer. Renovaro Cube intends to apply its proprietary technology to biological data from multiple sources to enable the typification (or classification) of disease entities and sub-entities to provide insights about the nature and behavior of diseases to payers, providers, pharmaceutical companies and patients.

 

  Enables more accurate diagnosis and earlier detection of cancer and other diseases with the goal of maximizing outcomes and minimizing the costs of treatment. Renovaro Cube intends to develop a system to understand the smallest fragments of cancer in the blood of the patient. Presently, Renovaro Cube is developing a product to analyze results from liquid biopsy run through an Oxford Nanopore Sequencer. We expect the Renovaro Cube product will subsequently identify, train and validate explainable biomarkers, panels and models on different molecular layers. Multiple models will be individually trained for optimal stratification through the entire health journey, ensuring the right accuracy for a therapeutic decision in every stage. Renovaro Cube will integrate different modalities and molecular data sources into a differential diagnostic report. Diagnostics and prognosis will be explainable with quality control reports and biomarker insights for different disciplines ensuring maximum trust and insight in medical decision making.

 

23

 

 

  Assists in clinical trials with patient cohort selection and response tracking, to be used by companies like Renovaro Biosciences in their patient cohort selection for their clinical trials, by looking at which patients are reacting positively, negatively and have no reaction. This data becomes more important through the progression of the different phases of drug development, as more and more patients are added. Renovaro Cube will provide multi-omic data analysis, looking for specific changes in the patients that might indicate a change in their molecular make-up. This can then be used for the next phase of a clinical trial to look for the specific molecular data that has showed a positive reaction in the previous phase. It also provides insights for more effective response tracking, which Renovaro Cube believes is important to the providers of care as well as the development and evaluation of new pharmaceuticals and immune therapies in clinical trials. Patient response to treatment can be used to focus the target audience for drugs in development and in subsequent clinical practice. As Renovaro Cube collects more data, longitudinal about treatment and response, it will have the ability to train prognostic models to give an insight in disease progression and treatment response, both critical for enrolling in clinical trials and eventually every treatment. Because Renovaro Cube consists of many independently trained and validated models, it will have the ability to assist in virtually every therapeutic decision, for different subtypes and groups (stratifications). The multi-omics and multi-modal pipelines could allow the use of multiple combinations of tissue samples and diagnostic platforms. The detailed diagnostic reports will allow and support insights for multiple disciplines such as cancer biology, genomics and pathology to look at underpinning biomarkers, pathways and clinical annotations.

 

  Provides insight into patients who have had cancer previously. These insights will provide for more effective recurrence monitoring, which Renovaro Cube believes is important to the providers of care and patients during follow-up monitoring of remissions. Renovaro Cube anticipates that payers want to detect and re-treat recurrences at the earliest possible stage to maximize patients’ outcomes in terms of time and cost and that, similarly, patients with a recurrence are keen to re-engage with effective treatment at the earliest opportunity. A key aspect of this will be taking blood from the patients, sequencing this blood and running it through the Renovaro Cube platform which will identify if the patient has any indication of the recurrence of the same or a new cancer. For recurrence monitoring, Renovaro Cube will focus on a highly sensitive combination of lab and information technology. Lab protocols, sequence post processing and machine learning will all be designed, trained and validated to get the best signal with the highest sensitivity to catch early signals of recurrence. This will be done on a regular basis allowing surveillance analysis over time.

 

  Includes biomarker panels that will be extended to include as many layers of genetic information (multi-omics) as possible including mutation, gene expression, methylation status, fragmentomics, nucleosome mapping, collectively named multi-omics, with the goal to reach the highest accuracy possible, both in terms of sensitivity and specificity of each individual biomarker panel. This provides a non-invasive alternative for the current complex, expensive and cumbersome procedures.

 

  Create value through advancing more sophisticated typification of diseases in an effort to address some of the pressing problems faced by modern healthcare, including healthcare costs, an aging population and developments in medical technology that produce a stream of increasingly sophisticated treatments requiring more precise targeting.

 

One additional key focus of Renovaro Cube is its multi-modal, data analysis. Multi-modal data encompasses the whole aspect of data from a patient perspective, whether genomics, imaging, phenotypic or even wearable data, which can be cross analyzed to produce data that could not be previously produced. Renovaro Cube intends to use multi-modal data to bring new insights to the clinical and research teams trying to understand what to do next with the patient.

  

Renovaro Cube’s Technology and Techniques

 

Renovaro Cube is dedicated to the development of early cancer detection blood tests and expects to develop partnerships with third-party laboratories across the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the rest of Europe and will also expand to the United States. Renovaro Cube is focused on developing diagnostic tests and test kits that would analyze samples derived from non-invasive liquid biopsy samples and intends to perform these tests from Renovaro’s dedicated fully certified service laboratory and engage third-party laboratories to perform these tests for end-users.

 

24

 

 

For this purpose, Renovaro Cube has developed an AI platform that aims to leverage expertise in both biological and computational sciences and to go beyond traditional tumor signals by detecting the body’s early warning signs of cancer. Renovaro Cube’s goal is to provide accurate and reliable tests that can aid in the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Renovaro Cube’s AI technology is created to detect a wide range of biological signs to enhance the accuracy and sensitivity of early cancer detection and, thereby, enable earlier intervention and potentially improved patient outcomes.

 

Renovaro Cube’s AI technology aims to address three critical facets of medical needs within the domain of cancer diagnosis (as illustrated below):

 

  type-specific cancer detection;

 

  pan-cancer detection; and

 

  patient stratification.

 

Moreover, the versatility of Renovaro Cube’s AI technology extends to encompass the realm of rare cancers, including cases such as cancer of unknown primary.

 

Leveraging DNA methylation data, Renovaro Cube has identified and validated biomarker panels tailored for the detection of a wide range of cancers, including bladder, breast, colon, prostate, thyroid, head and neck, liver, kidney and lung cancer.

 

The foundational architecture of Renovaro Cube’s AI technology is engineered to facilitate comprehensive pan-cancer analysis through its extensive record of informative biomarkers discovered across a diverse array of cancer types. This comprehensive repository empowers Renovaro Cube’s AI technology to swiftly cross-reference biomarkers and explore molecular commonalities and distinctions that span multiple tumor categories.

 

For example, the capabilities of Renovaro Cube’s AI technology have unearthed biomarkers capable of pinpointing a specific subgroup of thyroid cancer patients characterized by a distinct genomic alteration, the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (“NTRK”) gene fusion. Identification of these NTRK-positive patients provides an actionable therapeutic target.

 

Uses of Renovaro Cube’s AI Technology

 

Renovaro Cube has developed its AI platform to support:

 

  AI-assisted patient diagnostics;

 

  multi-omic data analysis;

 

  genome-wide or targeted analysis;

 

  pan-cancer analysis;

 

  different technology platforms (sequence or array);

 

  tracking of each sample;

 

  AI-guided biomarker discovery for single or multiple cancer types; and

 

  logs of analysis steps and outcomes (data preparation, discovery, validation).

 

Renovaro Cube’s AI platform is an enterprise software platform that is distinguished from its competitors’ technology by its core attributes encompassing AI-guided analysis and meticulous record-keeping of data handling procedures within audit trails, logs, and data discoveries. Renovaro Cube designed this technology to support and validate every phase of the process, from the initial handling of raw data to the creation of essential biomarker panels. Renovaro Cube’s AI platform also facilitates the integration of data originating from diverse sources, including public databases and collaborative partnership data.

 

25

 

 

Illustrated below is the three-phase workflow behind Renovaro Cube’s AI platform for biomarker discovery using DNA methylation data. This workflow commences with the identification of pertinent single- and multi-omic data best suited to address the specific inquiries of Renovaro Cube’s clients, and the subsequent stages involve the meticulous pre-processing and loading of this data into the platform. This process culminates in the availability of a dashboard offering the client insights into the data’s characteristics, such as data quality, the technology employed, and associated metadata.

 

  Phase I of the workflow behind Renovaro Cube’s AI platform primarily centers on the pivotal process of biomarker discovery. This intricate procedure unfolds through the application of data mining algorithms and statistical methodologies integrated into the AI platform. The paramount objective of Phase I is to reduce the plethora of genomic features displaying variations across samples, which is accomplished by systematically eliminating extraneous or inconsequential features while preserving those features that exhibit the greatest potential for accurately detecting cancer.

 

  Phase II of the workflow builds upon the foundation of selected biomarkers by focusing on understanding the dynamic interplay among these chosen biomarkers, culminating in the creation of composite panels. The goal of Phase II is to pinpoint biomarker combinations that not only demonstrate robustness in detecting cancer but also maintain their efficacy across diverse contexts. Renovaro Cube believes that its AI algorithms are adept at uncovering multiple combinations across a spectrum of panels, which is supported by Renovaro Cube’s AI-guided panel mining, a proprietary combinatorial optimization technique used by Renovaro Cube’s AI technology. This approach, coupled with the capacity to explore numerous panels, significantly enhances the likelihood of discovering panels that align with specific metric criteria, such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and recall and allows for tailoring criteria to align with clients’ unique needs, such as the number of biomarkers included per panel, or the inclusion of biomarkers associated with the expression of specific genes. The performance of the top-tier panels is further fine-tuned through the application of machine learning models. Subsequently, the efficacy of these biomarker panels in detecting cancer is validated through independent data sets.

 

  Phase III of the workflow involves Renovaro Cube’s collaboration with its clinical partners to validate the performance of the biomarker panels. Through this collaboration, Renovaro Cube can confirm the utility and accuracy of its biomarker panels in real-world clinical contexts.

 

AI-Assisted Diagnostics

 

The process of biomarker discovery facilitated by Renovaro Cube’s AI technology has yielded a set of data that enables scrutiny of the genomic distinctions and commonalities inherent in diverse cancer types. This data set can support the diagnosis of cancers when their type or origin remains unidentified.

 

In addition to this role in biomarker discovery and the development of diagnostic tests, Renovaro Cube’s AI technology also integrates AI-guided molecular profiling of patient samples and furnishes diagnostic patient reports. These diagnostic reports reflect the outcomes of molecular profiling, coupled with interpretations provided by Renovaro Cube’s team, to facilitate the process of cancer diagnostics by a qualified healthcare provider, who can consider these reports in the context of a patient’s medical history, clinical signs, and symptoms, among other factors.

 

Quality Control Process

 

Renovaro Cube undertakes post-processing of data generated from sequence and arrays to ensure accurate and meaningful results. These post-processing steps for omic data include:

 

  1. Quality Control: Quality control is performed to assess the overall data quality and to identify any technical issues or anomalies.

 

  2. Normalization: arrays can introduce various sources of technical variation, such as batch effects, intensity variations, and probe-specific biases.

 

26

 

 

  3. Quality Filtering: After genotype calling, additional quality filtering may be performed to remove low-quality SNPs based on criteria like call rates, minor allele frequency, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium p-values, and linkage disequilibrium.

 

Other post-processing steps may include genotype calling, population stratification and association analysis. Specific post-processing steps may vary depending on the type of array used, the study design, and the analytical goals.

 

Planning for Commercialization

  

Partnerships in Development

 

To enhance multi-omic and multi-modal capacity, and to work to validate those capabilities with human samples including liquid-biopsy-based tests/test kits, Renovaro Cube is actively pursuing relationships with leading academic cancer centers, pathology and imagery centers in Europe, the USA and the Middle East. In certain cases, scopes of work are in process. This is a very attractive model for partners to be involved with Renovaro Cube to perform multi-omics genetic analysis using liquid biopsies.

 

Resources

 

Renovaro Cube intends to hire additional staff to increase the speed and velocity of its organization, including the development of the AI platform and the opportunities to deploy the AI platform for research perspective and ultimately for clinical practice and into clinical trials.

 

In addition, Renovaro Cube intends to build out its infrastructure by leasing space for storage, networking and hosting facilities.

 

Target Market

 

Renovaro Cube’s intended customers will be hospitals, clinics, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, research centers, physicians and individual patients.

 

Renovaro Cube aims to utilize its AI technology to commercialize products and test kits for healthcare providers, hospitals, clinics and doctors that will expedite diagnosis and the selection of appropriate treatment for various types of cancer. Renovaro Cube intends to differentiate its products based on the following factors:

 

  Proprietary and unique panel mining algorithms to create multiple biomarker stratifications per cancer;

 

  Explainable AI, offering traceability between the prediction and the exact biomarkers, panels and genes;

 

  Differential diagnosis, inclusion and exclusion of cancer types based on facts; and

 

  Precision diagnosis, with a high accuracy percentage with machine-learning tuning.

 

The multi-omic design of Renovaro Cube’s AI platform enables the use of different molecular layers, such as epigenomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, together with genomics and clinical data.

 

Panel Mining

 

The unique panel mining technique in Renovaro Cube’s technology repeatedly investigates genes to identify relevant biomarkers. The proprietary technique in Renovaro Cube’s technology not only searches for individual biomarkers, but also integrates validated panels for different cancer types into the “RenovaroCube” machine learning library. This process enables precision diagnosis, by including one cancer and excluding others based on statistically, scientifically and clinically validated machine-learning panels.

 

27

 

 

Panel mining is designed to combine biomarkers into panels in such a way that the final panel meets:

 

  performance metric criteria;

 

  technical criteria, such as a minimum or maximum number of biomarkers for the selected assay;

 

  biological criteria, non-annotated genes inclusion; and

 

  stratification criteria.

 

Explainable AI

 

The term “Explainable AI” refers to the ability of an AI system or model to provide human-understandable explanations for its decision-making process or predictions. This feature aims to bridge the gap between the “black box” nature of many AI algorithms and the need for transparency, interpretability, and accountability in AI applications.

 

In traditional machine learning approaches, such as deep neural networks, the internal workings of the model can be complex and difficult to interpret. This lack of interpretability poses challenges in critical domains where decisions have significant implications, such as healthcare.

 

Renovaro Cube believes that Explainable AI is crucial for ensuring transparency, fairness, and accountability in AI systems. Renovaro Cube’s AI platform includes Explainable AI by design. All data points, calculations and results are traceable, and all calculations are verifiable and reproducible with the same result.

 

Disease prognosis is one of the diagnostic capabilities of the Explainable AI feature of Renovaro Cube’s technology. Disease prognosis gives more insight for a specific patient that empowers healthcare providers, patients, and their families to make well-informed decisions about treatment, care, and future planning, thereby enhancing patient-centered care, optimizing resource utilization, and contributing to improved patient outcomes and quality of life.

 

Differential Diagnosis

 

Renovaro Cube’s AI platform offers differential diagnosis by design due to its approach with a multitude of models for different diseases and the ability to include and exclude diseases.

 

Diseases like cancer are very homogenous, meaning that markers like TP53 or BRCA are expressed with multiple cancers. To address this homogeneity, differential diagnosis distinguishes between two or more conditions or diseases that share similar signs, symptoms or characteristics. The goal of differential diagnosis is to consider and evaluate all possible diagnoses for the patient’s symptoms to determine the most likely cause. Differential diagnosis therefore aims to identify the underlying condition accurately and guide appropriate treatment and management strategies.

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred substantial recurring losses from continuing operations, has used cash in the Company’s continuing operations, and is dependent on additional financing to fund operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $44,212,036 and $9,175,028 for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $220,571 and an accumulated deficit of $368,891,461 and a working capital deficit of $21,087,220. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

Management has reduced overhead and administrative costs by streamlining the organization to focus around the development and validation of its AI-driven cancer diagnostics platform. The Company has tailored its workforce to focus on these activities. In addition, the Company intends to secure additional required funding through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any sources of funding. Such additional funding may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms, and, in the case of equity financing transactions, could result in significant additional dilution to our stockholders. If we do not obtain required additional equity or debt funding, our cash resources will be depleted and we could be required to materially reduce or suspend operations, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations, we could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that could result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us.

 

Funding that we may receive during the fiscal year 2025 is expected to be used to satisfy existing and future obligations and liabilities and working capital needs, to support commercialization of our products, to conduct the clinical and regulatory work to develop our product candidates, and to begin building working capital reserves.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, were $390,189 and $566,644, respectively, representing a decrease of $176,455 or approximately 31%. The variance is primarily driven by a decrease of $262,065 in collaborating partner expenses with CDMO and CROs related to discontinued product candidates.

 

The Company recorded other income of $9,126,518 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to other expense of $290,914 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, representing a change in other income (expense) of $9,417,432 or 3,237%. The variance is primarily due to the change in fair value of contingent consideration of $9,250,000 in the current period.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, was $44,212,036 and $9,175,028, respectively, representing an increase in net loss of $35,037,008 or approximately 382%. The increase in net loss was primarily due to an increase in goodwill impairment of $47,614,729, partially offset by the change in fair value of contingent consideration of $9,250,000.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have historically satisfied our capital and liquidity requirements through funding from stockholders, the sale of our Common Stock and warrants, and debt financing. We have never generated any sales revenue to support our operations, and we expect this to continue until our therapies or products are approved for marketing in the United States and/or Europe. Even if we are successful in having our therapies or products approved for sale in the United States and/or Europe, we cannot guarantee that a market for the therapies or products will develop. We may never be profitable.

 

As noted above under the heading “Going Concern and Management’s Plans,” through September 30, 2024, we have incurred substantial losses. We will need additional funds both in the next twelve months and beyond for (a) research and development, (b) increases in personnel, (c) the purchase of equipment, and investment in the development and validation of our technology. The availability of any required additional funding cannot be assured. In addition, an adverse outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings in which we are currently involved or in the future may be involved could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position. We may raise such funds from time to time through public or private sales of our equity or debt securities. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could materially adversely affect our growth plans and our financial condition and results of operations.

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $220,571 in cash and working capital of $(21,087,220) as compared to $220,467 in cash and working capital of $(28,312,274) as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of zero and 26%, respectively.

Assets

 

Total assets at September 30, 2024, were $121,832,637 compared to $163,129,450 as of June 30, 2024. The decrease in assets is primarily due to goodwill impairment of $47,614,729 in the current period.

 

Liabilities

 

Total liabilities at September 30, 2024, were $23,745,639 compared to $31,152,306 as of June 30, 2024. The decrease in total liabilities was primarily related to the decrease of $9,250,000 in contingent consideration liability, partially offset by an increase of $1,953,540 in accounts payable.

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was zero and ($1,057,875), respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain.

For a summary of our accounting policies, see Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The Certifying Officers have designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this Report was prepared.

 

The Certifying Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company and used the “Internal Control over Financial Reporting Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) to conduct an extensive review of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of each of the periods covered by this Report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that the information we were required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The deficiency is attributed to the Company not having adequate resources to address complex accounting matters. This control deficiency will be monitored, and attention will be given to this matter as we grow.

 

The Certifying Officers based their conclusion on the fact that the Company has identified a material weakness in controls over financial reporting, detailed above. We expect to be deficient in our disclosure controls and procedures until sufficient capital is available to hire the appropriate internal accounting staff.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

Securities Class Action Litigation. On July 26, 2022 and July 28, 2022, securities class action complaints (the former, the “Chow Action” and the latter, the “Manici Action”) and together, the “Securities Class Action Litigation”) were filed by purported stockholders of the Company in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The complaints allege, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, by making false and misleading statements and omissions of material fact in connection with the Company’s relationship with Serhat Gümrükcü and its commercial prospects. The complaints seek unspecified damages, interest, fees, and costs. On November 22, 2022, the Manici Action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice, but the Chow action remains pending. On October 22, 2023, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff in the Chow Action. The lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on December 15, 2023. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on March 15, 2024. The Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss on June 28, 2024. A mediation was held on September 17, 2024, after which the parties signed a stipulation of settlement, dated November 8, 2024.  The plaintiff’s deadline to file a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement is December 9, 2024.

 

Federal Derivative Litigation. On September 22, 2022, Samuel E. Koenig filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On January 19, 2023, John Solak filed a substantially similar shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Both derivative actions recite similar underlying facts as those alleged in the Securities Class Action Litigation. The actions, filed on behalf of the Company, name Serhat Gümrükcü and certain of the Company’s former directors as defendants. The actions also name the Company as a nominal defendant. The actions allege violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and also set out claims for breach of fiduciary duty, contribution and indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement. Plaintiffs do not quantify any alleged injury, but seek damages, disgorgement, restitution, and other costs and expenses. On January 24, 2023, the United States District Court for the Central District of California stayed the Koenig matter pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On April 4, 2023, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware stayed the Solak matter pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On June 28, 2024, the United States District Court for the Central District of California denied defendants’ motion to dismiss the Securities Class Action Litigation. On October 23, 2024, the court in the Koenig matter stayed the case pending further order of the court.  The parties’ deadline to file a joint status report in the Koenig matter is January 10, 2025.  On October 28, 2024, the court in the Solak matter stayed the case for ninety (90) days.  The defendants have not yet responded to either complaint. The Company intends to contest these matters but expresses no opinion as to the likelihood of favorable outcomes. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss, including a possible range of losses, if any, arising from this matter as of the reporting date.

  

State Derivative Litigation. On October 20, 2022, Susan Midler filed a shareholder derivative action in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, reciting similar underlying facts as those alleged in the Securities Class Action Litigation. The action, filed on behalf of the Company, names Serhat Gümrükcü and certain of the Company’s current and former directors as defendants. The action also names the Company as a nominal defendant. The action sets out claims for breaches of fiduciary duty, contribution and indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement. Plaintiff does not quantify any alleged injury, but seeks damages, disgorgement, restitution, and other costs and expenses. On January 20, 2023, the Court stayed the Midler matter pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On June 28, 2024, the United States District Court for the Central District of California denied defendants’ motion to dismiss the Securities Class Action Litigation. On October 28, 2024, the court in the Midler matter stayed the case for ninety (90) days. The defendants have not yet responded to the complaint. The Company intends to contest this matter but expresses no opinion as to the likelihood of a favorable outcome. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss, including a possible range of losses, if any, arising from this matter as of the reporting date.

On October 21, 2022, the Company filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against Serhat Gümrükcü, William Anderson Wittekind (“Wittekind”), G Tech Bio, SG & AW Holdings, LLC, and SRI (collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges that the Defendants engaged in a “concerted, deliberate scheme to alter, falsify, and misrepresent to the Company the results of multiple studies supporting its Hepatitis B and SARS-CoV-2/influenza pipelines.” Specifically, “Defendants manipulated negative results to reflect positive outcomes from various studies, and even fabricated studies out of whole cloth.” As a result of the Defendants’ conduct, the Company claims that it “paid approximately $25 million to Defendants and third-parties that it would not otherwise have paid.” On April 21, 2023, defendants Wittekind, G Tech, SG & AW Holdings, LLC, and SRI filed a demurrer with respect to some, but not all, of the Company’s claims, as well as a motion to strike. On September 6, 2023, the court denied in part and granted in part the pending motions. On September 7, 2023, the court entered a case management order setting the final status conference, trial, and other intervening deadlines.

 

On December 4, 2023, the Defendants answered the Company’s First Amended Complaint and G Tech and SRI filed a Cross-Complaint. In the Cross-Complaint, G Tech and SRI seek declaratory and injunctive relief related to certain agreements between G Tech, SRI, and the Company, including, inter alia, a declaration that the Framework Agreement, effective as of November 15, 2019, the Statement of Work & License Agreement, effective as of January 31, 2020, and the Statement of Work and License Agreement for Influenza and Coronavirus Indications, effective as of April 18, 2021, have been terminated and the Company has no rights to any license under such agreements. Trial is currently scheduled to begin on March 3, 2025. The Company denies these allegations and intends to vigorously defend against the cross claims while pursuing its claims against the Defendants.

 

On March 1, 2021, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Robert Wolfe and his company, Crossfield, Inc., filed a Complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont against the Company, Renovaro Biosciences Denmark ApS, and certain directors and officers. In the Complaint, Mr. Wolfe and Crossfield, Inc. asserted claims for abuse of process and malicious prosecution, alleging, inter alia, that the Company lacked probable cause to file and prosecute an earlier action, and sought millions of dollars of compensatory damages, as well as punitive damages. The allegations in the Complaint relate to an earlier action filed by the Company and Renovaro Biosciences Denmark ApS in the Vermont Superior Court, Orange Civil Division. On March 3, 2022, the court partially granted the Company’s motion to dismiss, dismissing the abuse of process claim against all defendants and all claims against Mark Dybul and Henrik Grønfeldt-Sørensen, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former member of the Board of Directors, respectively. On November 29, 2022, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment with respect to the sole remaining claim of malicious prosecution. On August 24, 2023, the court denied the motion for summary judgment. On November 7, 2024, the Court reset the trial date for May 6, 2025. The Company denies the allegations set forth in the Complaint and will continue to vigorously defend against the remaining claim.

 

On June 7, 2023, Weird Science LLC (“Weird Science”), Wittekind, the William Anderson Wittekind 2020 Annuity Trust, the William Anderson Wittekind 2021 Annuity Trust, the Dybul 2020 Angel Annuity Trust, and the Ty Mabry 2021 Annuity Trust (collectively, the “Trusts”) (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) filed a Verified Complaint against the Company in the Court of Chancery of Delaware. In the Verified Complaint, Plaintiffs alleged that the Company breached the February 16, 2018 Investor Rights Agreement between the Company, Weird Science, and RS Group ApS (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). According to the Verified Complaint, the Investor Rights Agreement required the Company to (i) notify all “Holders” of “Registrable Securities” at least 30 days prior to filing a registration statement and (ii) afford such Holders an opportunity to have their Registrable Securities included in such registration statement. Plaintiffs alleged that the Company breached these registration rights by failing to provide the required notice in connection with S-3 registration statements filed by the Company on July 13, 2020 and February 11, 2022. The Company moved to dismiss the Verified Complaint on September 15, 2023.

 

On December 4, 2023, in lieu of opposing the motion to dismiss, Plaintiffs filed a Verified First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). In the FAC, Plaintiffs assert claims against the Company and others for purported breaches of the Investor Rights Agreement, fraud, tortious interference with a contract, and several other torts. Plaintiffs seek compensatory, exemplary, and punitive damages, as well as certain declaratory relief, specific performance, and pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the FAC on December 18, 2023 and a hearing is scheduled for November 15, 2024. The Company denies Plaintiffs’ allegations and intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

On August 24, 2023, counsel on behalf of Weird Science, Wittekind, individually, and Wittekind, as trustee of the Trusts served a demand to inspect the Company’s books and records (the “Demand”) pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law, § 220 (“Section 220”). The Demand seeks the Company’s books and records in connection with various issues identified in the Demand. The Company takes its obligations under Section 220 seriously and, to the extent that the requests are proper under Section 220, intends to comply with those obligations.

 

On January 19, 2024, Weird Science and Wittekind sent the Board of Directors a letter demanding it take corrective actions with respect to twenty-one issues identified therein. On February 27, 2024, Weird Science and Wittekind sent the Board of Directors a supplemental letter that expanded their demand for corrective actions to twenty-six issues. In response to these demand letters, the Board of Directors initially formed a Special Committee (“Special Committee”) of independent directors on February 29, 2024. The Special Committee retained Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP as its counsel to investigate the issues identified in the demand letters. The Special Committee’s investigation is ongoing.

 

On January 23, 2024, Weird Science and Wittekind filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against certain officers, directors, and investors of the Company, as well as other defendants, in connection with, inter alia, Weird Science and Wittekind’s demand for corrective action. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on June 21, 2024. The First Amended Verified Stockholder Derivative Complaint (“Derivative Complaint”) alleges, among other claims, violations of Section 13(d) and 14(a) and Rules 10b-5(a), 10b-5(c) and 14a-9 of the Exchange Act of 1934. The Derivative Complaint also includes claims of breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, and contribution/indemnification. Weird Science and Wittekind seek unspecified compensatory, exemplary, and punitive damages and certain injunctive relief. The Derivative Complaint names the Company as a nominal defendant. On July 19, 2024, certain of the director defendants, who had agreed to waive service of the summons and Derivative Complaint, filed a motion to dismiss the Derivative Complaint on a variety of procedural and substantive grounds. A hearing on the motion dismiss was held on October 3, 2024 and the court subsequently took the motion under submission. On October 22, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a notice of certain subsequent events that they allege relate to their pending motion to dismiss. On October 29, 2024, the court granted the director defendants’ motion to dismiss and dismissed the Derivative Complaint without prejudice, but also without leave to amend.

 

On June 21, 2024, the Company filed suit against Weird Science, Wittekind, and certain trusts in connection with the February 16, 2018 merger involving the Company and two companies closely associated with Gumrukcu. In the complaint, the Company alleges that Gumrukcu and others deliberately and fraudulently concealed a murder-for-hire scheme from the Company in order to induce the Company to enter into the merger agreement, which resulted in the defendants receiving shares and compensation. The Company asserts claims for fraudulent concealment, equitable fraud, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy and seeks, inter alia, equitable relief, including, but not limited to, return to the Company any shares received in connection with the merger, and damages. On October 1, 2024, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint.

Further, the Senior Executive agrees to indemnify the Company for any claim, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation, by any such third party that such third party may now have or may hereafter have against the Company based upon any noncompetition agreement, invention or secrecy agreement between the Senior Executive and such third party.

 

12.       Certain Additional Agreements.

 

(a)       Legitimate Interest. The Senior Executive agrees that it is a legitimate interest of the Company and reasonable and necessary for the protection of the goodwill and business of the Company, which are valuable to the Company, that the Senior Executive make the covenants contained in Sections 6,7,8,9, and 10 (the “Selected Covenants”).

 

(b)       Fair and Reasonable. The parties acknowledge that (i) the type and periods of restriction imposed in the Selected Covenants are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required to protect and maintain the proprietary and other legitimate business interests of the Company, as well as the goodwill associated with the Business conducted by the Company, (ii) the Business conducted by the Company extends throughout the United States, and (iii) the time, scope, geographic area and other provisions of the Selected Covenants have been specifically negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties represented by experienced legal counsel.

 

4

 

 

(c)       Illegality. In the event that any covenant contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any of the Selected Covenants shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, (i) such covenant shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum period of time for which it may be legal, valid and enforceable, as applicable, and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be legal, valid and enforceable, as applicable, and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be legal, valid and enforceable, as applicable, all as determined by such court making such determination, and (ii) in its reduced form, such covenant shall then be legal, valid and enforceable, as applicable, but such reduced form of covenant shall only apply with respect to the operation of such covenant in the particular jurisdiction in or for which such adjudication is made. It is the intention of the parties that such covenants shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

 

13.       Specific Performance. The Senior Executive acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of the covenants contained in the Selected Covenants will cause the Company material and irreparable damage, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain and that the remedies at law for any such breach or threatened breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Senior Executive agrees that the Company shall, in addition to all other available rights and remedies (including, but not limited to, seeking such damages as either of them can show it has sustained by reason of such breach), be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief in respect of any breach or threatened breach of any of the Selected Covenants, without being required to post bond or other security and without having to prove the inadequacy of the available remedies at law or irreparable harm.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Company is declared to have been in material default of this Agreement by final arbitration in a forum selected by the parties or final adjudication in any court, Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement shall terminate and not be operative for any period of time thereafter.

 

14.       Termination.

 

(a)       For Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate the Senior Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time for Cause (defined below) upon written notice to the Senior Executive. In the event the Senior Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Senior Executive shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay the Senior Executive in accordance with its normal payroll procedures, (i) the Base Salary owing to the Senior Executive hereunder through the date of termination; and (ii) any business expenses which were properly reimbursable to the Senior Executive pursuant to Section 4 hereof through the date of termination. The Senior Executive shall be entitled to no further payment upon such termination.

5

 

 

(v)       The Senior Executive’s material violation of policies of the Company (including, without limitation, regarding equal employment opportunity, employment discrimination, sexual or other forms of harassment and/or retaliation), which violation, in the judgment of the Company (using reasonable business judgment), is not or cannot reasonably be expected to be cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice is given to the Senior Executive by the Company;

 

(vi)      Any illegal drug or illegal substance use or abuse, any addiction or substantial dependence on the part of the Senior Executive on any legal or illegal drug, legal or illegal substance or alcohol that, as determined by the Company using reasonable business judgment, impairs, or could reasonably be expected to impair, the performance of the Senior Executive’s duties or obligations as set forth in this Agreement, or which is, or could reasonably be expected to become, materially injurious to the reputation or business of the Company, other than the proper use of medication prescribed by a doctor;

 

(vii)     Any conviction of the Senior Executive of, or no contest plea by the Senior Executive to, a crime which is a felony or a misdemeanor involving an act of moral turpitude, or a misdemeanor committed in connection with his employment by the Company;

(b)       Without Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate the Senior Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Senior Executive. If the Company terminates the Senior Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause, the Senior Executive shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay the Senior Executive, in accordance with its regular payroll policy, (i) Base Salary owing to the Executive through date of termination plus Base Salary for six (6) months (the period for which Base Salary shall be owed to the Executive under this Section 14(b) shall be referred to herein as the “Severance Period”); any business expenses which were properly reimbursable to the Senior Executive pursuant to Section 4 hereof through the date of termination; and (iv) during the Severance Period, the health, medical insurance and other benefits which are provided to the Senior Executive in Section 5 hereunder. In addition, if the Company terminates the Senior Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause, any options, equity or other compensation awards, granted by the Company to the Senior Executive which have not vested or are not yet exercisable shall automatically vest and become immediately exercisable by the Senior Executive commencing on the date the Senior Executive is terminated without Cause and for a period of five (5) years following such date of termination.

 

(c)       Good Reason. The Senior Executive shall be entitled to terminate his employment with the Company for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined) upon notice to the Company of his intent to terminate so within thirty (30)days after he has actual knowledge of the event giving rise to the notice and the Company fails to cure the condition specified in the Senior Executive’s notice to the Company required to be provided by this Section 14(c) within fifteen (15) days following such notice. If the Senior Executive terminates his employment pursuant to this Section 14(c), such termination shall be deemed to be a termination by the Company without Cause, with the same effect and affording to the Senior Executive the same rights and benefits as otherwise provided in this Agreement upon a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 14(b) hereof.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

(d)       Voluntary. The Senior Executive shall be entitled to voluntarily terminate his employment with the Company prior to the end of the Employment Term upon ninety (30) days prior written notice from the Senior Executive to the Company. If the Senior Executive voluntarily terminates his employment hereunder, the Senior Executive shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay the Senior Executive in accordance with its normal payroll procedures, (i) the Base Salary owing to the Senior Executive hereunder through the date of termination; and (i1) any business expenses which were properly reimbursable to the Senior Executive pursuant to Section 4 hereof through the date of termination. The Senior Executive shall be entitled to no further payment upon such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company upon receipt of Senior Executive’s written notice of voluntary termination, desires to terminate the Senior Executive’s employment prior to the expiration of the 30 day notice period for any reason and at any time, then the Company shall pay the Senior Executive his Base Salary for the time frame between the actual termination date and the 90th day from the date of Senior Executive’s written notice of voluntary termination. If the Senior Executive voluntarily terminates his employment hereunder, it shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the Senior Executive or a violation of the Senior Executive’s duties or obligations hereunder.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Business On February 13, 2024, the Company changed its corporate name from Renovaro Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Inc. (“Renovaro”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “us”). Renovaro Inc. operates through two subsidiaries, Renovaro Biosciences and Renovaro Cube. Renovaro Cube refers to Renovaro Cube Intl Ltd. (formerly known as GediCube Intl. Ltd.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries GediCube, B.V. and Grace Systems B.V., which were acquired on February 13, 2024.

 

Renovaro Biosciences is a biotechnology company intending to develop advanced allogeneic cell and gene therapies to promote stronger immune system responses potentially for long-term or life-long cancer remission in some of the deadliest cancers, and potentially to treat or cure serious infectious diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections. Renovaro Cube is an AI-driven healthcare technology company focusing on the earliest possible detection of cancer and its recurrence. Renovaro Cube has developed a proprietary AI platform that analyzes genetics using Explainable AI to provide earlier and more accurate cancer diagnosis.

 

Basis of PresentationThe Company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and follows the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2024, and 2023 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s June 30, 2024 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Consolidation For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates include the fair value of assets acquired in a business acquisition, contingent consideration, and equity instruments issued for goods or services.

 

Functional Currency & Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of Renovaro Biosciences Denmark ApS is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”) and the functional currency of Renovaro Cube is the Euro (“EUR”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.

  

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2024. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring; (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are to be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company currently believes there are no other issued and not yet effective accounting standards that are materially relevant to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

GOING CONCERN

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
GOING CONCERN

NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred substantial recurring losses from continuing operations, has used cash in the Company’s continuing operations, and is dependent on additional financing to fund operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $44,212,036 and $9,175,028 for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $220,571 and an accumulated deficit of $368,891,461 and a working capital deficit of $21,087,220. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

Management has reduced overhead and administrative costs by streamlining the organization to focus around the development and validation of its AI-driven cancer diagnostics platform. The Company has tailored its workforce to focus on these activities. In addition, the Company intends to secure additional required funding through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any sources of funding. Such additional funding may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms, and, in the case of equity financing transactions, could result in significant additional dilution to our stockholders. If we do not obtain required additional equity or debt funding, our cash resources will be depleted and we could be required to materially reduce or suspend operations, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations, we could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that could result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us.

 

Funding that we may receive during the fiscal year 2025 is expected to be used to satisfy existing and future obligations and liabilities and working capital needs, to support commercialization of our products, to conduct the clinical and regulatory work to develop our product candidates, and to begin building working capital reserves.

The authoritative guidance among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

  Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

  Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

There were no Level 1, 2 or 3 assets, nor any Level 1 or 2 liabilities as of September 30, 2024.

 

Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, lease obligations and notes payable approximate their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.

 

Level 3 liabilities held as of September 30, 2024, consisted of a contingent consideration liability related to the February 13, 2014 acquisition of Renovaro Cube, (the “Acquisition”). As consideration for the Acquisition, the stockholders of Renovaro Cube received (i) 70,834,183 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) the right to receive contingent shares pro rata upon the exercise of convertible notes, options, and warrants, which were outstanding at closing. The contingent consideration liability was recorded at fair value of $20,557,500 at the time of the Acquisition and is subsequently remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. As of September 30, 2024, there were 7,613,301 contingent shares issuable in connection with the Acquisition.

 

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and a Monte-Carlo option pricing model. The key inputs to the model are all contractual or observable with the exception being volatility, which is computed based on the volatility of the Company’s underlying stock. The key inputs to valuing the contingent consideration liability as of September 30, 2024, were:

 

     
Stock Price  $0.48 
Exercise Price   $0.46 - $8.23 
Volatility   113% - 134% 
Risk Free Rate   3.52% - 4.31% 
Expected Dividends   0%
Expected Term (years)   0.489.25 

 

The following table sets forth the Level 3 liability at September 30, 2024, which is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis. As required, this liability is classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

The roll forward of the contingent consideration liability is as follows:

On February 13, 2024, the Company acquired Renovaro Cube as a wholly owned subsidiary pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. As part of the acquisition of Renovaro Cube, the Company acquired goodwill valued at $159,464,039.

 

Impairment – During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the results of the assessment indicated that the carrying value of the RENC reporting unit exceeded its fair value, due to the changes in the projected economic benefits to be realized from this reporting unit. Management concluded the significant driver for the change in the economic benefits was due to the Company’s continued inability to raise capital for the further development of the technologies within this reporting unit. Therefore, an impairment adjustment of $47,614,729 was recorded for the period ended September 30, 2024.

 

At September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, definite-life and indefinite-life intangible assets consisted of the following:

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs for stock option awards to employees and directors based on their grant-date fair value. The value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are as follows in the three months ended September 30, 2024:

 

     
   Renovaro Inc.
Expected term (in years)   5.5 
Volatility   113.12%
Risk free interest rate   4.22%
Dividend yield   0%

As consideration for such forfeiture, the Company granted to Mr. Miller, an option to purchase 978,261 shares of Common Stock of the Company with a per-share exercise price of, $0.69. The Company determined that this transaction represented a modification of the original award. The Company measured the fair value of the options issued as compared to the fair value of the original issuance and determined that there was no incremental compensation to recognize as the fair value of the options was less than the fair value of the Common Stock. Therefore, the Company will recognize the remaining fair value of the original award over the remaining vesting period, which is one year.  The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $222,306 related to the vesting of the stocks options during the period ended September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2024, the Company had $1,122,537 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the options which vest at August 23, 2025.

 

In total, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to options of $357,648 and $983,829 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In the Verified Complaint, Plaintiffs alleged that the Company breached the February 16, 2018 Investor Rights Agreement between the Company, Weird Science, and RS Group ApS (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). According to the Verified Complaint, the Investor Rights Agreement required the Company to (i) notify all “Holders” of “Registrable Securities” at least 30 days prior to filing a registration statement and (ii) afford such Holders an opportunity to have their Registrable Securities included in such registration statement. Plaintiffs alleged that the Company breached these registration rights by failing to provide the required notice in connection with S-3 registration statements filed by the Company on July 13, 2020 and February 11, 2022. The Company moved to dismiss the Verified Complaint on September 15, 2023.

 

On December 4, 2023, in lieu of opposing the motion to dismiss, Plaintiffs filed a Verified First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). In the FAC, Plaintiffs assert claims against the Company and others for purported breaches of the Investor Rights Agreement, fraud, tortious interference with a contract, and several other torts. Plaintiffs seek compensatory, exemplary, and punitive damages, as well as certain declaratory relief, specific performance, and pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the FAC on December 18, 2023 and a hearing is scheduled for November 15, 2024. The Company denies Plaintiffs’ allegations and intends to vigorously defend against the claims. 

  

On August 24, 2023, counsel on behalf of Weird Science, Wittekind, individually, and Wittekind, as trustee of the Trusts served a demand to inspect the Company’s books and records (the “Demand”) pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law, § 220 (“Section 220”). The Demand seeks the Company’s books and records in connection with various issues identified in the Demand. The Company takes its obligations under Section 220 seriously and, to the extent that the requests are proper under Section 220, intends to comply with those obligations.

 

On January 19, 2024, Weird Science and Wittekind sent the Board of Directors a letter demanding it take corrective actions with respect to twenty-one issues identified therein. On February 27, 2024, Weird Science and Wittekind sent the Board of Directors a supplemental letter that expanded their demand for corrective actions to twenty-six issues. In response to these demand letters, the Board of Directors initially formed a Special Committee (“Special Committee”) of independent directors on February 29, 2024. The Special Committee retained Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP as its counsel to investigate the issues identified in the demand letters. The Special Committee’s investigation is ongoing.

 

On January 23, 2024, Weird Science and Wittekind filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against certain officers, directors, and investors of the Company, as well as other defendants, in connection with, inter alia, Weird Science and Wittekind’s demand for corrective action. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on June 21, 2024. The First Amended Verified Stockholder Derivative Complaint (“Derivative Complaint”) alleges, among other claims, violations of Section 13(d) and 14(a) and Rules 10b-5(a), 10b-5(c) and 14a-9 of the Exchange Act of 1934. The Derivative Complaint also includes claims of breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, and contribution/indemnification. Weird Science and Wittekind seek unspecified compensatory, exemplary, and punitive damages and certain injunctive relief. The Derivative Complaint names the Company as a nominal defendant. On July 19, 2024, certain of the director defendants, who had agreed to waive service of the summons and Derivative Complaint, filed a motion to dismiss the Derivative Complaint on a variety of procedural and substantive grounds. A hearing on the motion dismiss was held on October 3, 2024 and the court subsequently took the motion under submission. On October 22, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a notice of certain subsequent events that they allege relate to their pending motion to dismiss. On October 29, 2024, the court granted the director defendants’ motion to dismiss and dismissed the Derivative Complaint without prejudice, but also without leave to amend.

 

On June 21, 2024, the Company filed suit against Weird Science, Wittekind, and certain trusts in connection with the February 16, 2018 merger involving the Company and two companies closely associated with Gumrukcu. In the complaint, the Company alleges that Gumrukcu and others deliberately and fraudulently concealed a murder-for-hire scheme from the Company in order to induce the Company to enter into the merger agreement, which resulted in the defendants receiving shares and compensation. The Company asserts claims for fraudulent concealment, equitable fraud, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy and seeks, inter alia, equitable relief, including, but not limited to, return to the Company any shares received in connection with the merger, and damages. On October 1, 2024, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 8 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has accrued $283,652 of compensation related expenses for the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Mark Dybul, related to budget constraints.

 

On August 23, 2024, Avram Miller, a former member of the Board of Directors, forfeited 833,333 shares of Common Stock from the original 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for advisory services originally granted to him on October 11, 2023. As consideration for such forfeiture, the Company granted to Mr. Miller, an option to purchase 978,261 shares of Common Stock of the Company with a per-share exercise price of, $0.69. The Company determined that this transaction represented a modification of the original award. The Company measured the fair value of the options issued as compared to the fair value of the original issuance and determined that there was no incremental compensation to recognize as the fair value of the options was less than the fair value of the Common Stock. Therefore, the Company will recognize the remaining fair value of the original award over the remaining vesting period, which is one year.  The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $222,306 related to the vesting of the stocks options during the period ended September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2024, the Company had $1,122,537 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the options which vest at August 23, 2025.

SEGMENT REPORTING

NOTE 9 — SEGMENT REPORTING

 

For the period ending September 30, 2024, the Company had two reportable segments. These segments have different strategic and economic goals and are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies.

 

Reportable Segment   Description
RENB (United States)   Developing new immunotherapies to combat cancer
RENC (Netherlands)   Developing a predicative artificial intelligence based diagnostic methodology for the use of earlier cancer detection

 

The Company’s chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker and reviews the internal management reports for each segment at least quarterly. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, there were no significant inter-company revenues or expenses. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for each segment and decides how to allocate resources based on segment operating losses that also is reported on the consolidated statement of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

 

          
   Operating loss  Assets
United States  $4,960,737   $2,856,326 
Netherlands   48,377,817    118,976,311 
   $53,338,554   $121,832,637 

 

The chief operating decision maker uses loss from operations to evaluate the performance of each segment’s assets in deciding how to allocate available capital between segments. The chief operating decision maker also uses loss from operations in their competitive analysis by benchmarking the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing the performance of the segment.

 

Information regarding each reportable segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, is as follows:

 

               
   RENB  RENC  Total
General and administrative  $4,548,449   $752,802   $5,301,251 
Research and development   381,686    8,503    390,189 
Goodwill impairment       47,614,729    47,614,729 
Depreciation and amortization   30,602    1,783    32,385 
                
Segment operating loss  $4,960,737   $48,377,817   $53,338,554 

 

Geographic information:

 

RENB and RENC are managed on a worldwide basis but operate in offices located in the United Stated and the Netherlands, respectively. The geographic information analyses the Company’s operations and assets based on the country in which each segment operates. In presenting this geographic information, segment operating results have been based on the geographic location in which the services were provided to the segment and segment assets were based on the geographic location of the assets.

ACQUISITION

NOTE 10 — ACQUISITION

 

On September 28, 2023, the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with GEDi Cube Intl Ltd., a private company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“GEDi Cube”) to acquire 100% of the equity interests of GEDi Cube from its equity holders (the “Sellers”). On September 28, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company, and the board of managers of GEDi Cube unanimously approved the Purchase Agreement and on January 25, 2024, the shareholders of the Company approved the issuance of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. On February 13, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the acquisition of GEDi Cube and the other transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”). As a result of the Transaction, GEDi Cube became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as of the Closing Date, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding equity interests of GEDi Cube owned by the Sellers as of the Closing Date (each, a “GEDi Cube Share” and, collectively, the “GEDi Cube Shares”) in exchange for which each Seller was entitled to receive (i) as of the Closing Date, such Seller’s pro rata percentage of an aggregate of 70,834,183 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), which represents the 67,224,089 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date (minus (a) 1 million shares of Common Stock previously issued to a consultant assisting with the Transaction and (b) 1 million shares of Common Stock previously issued to Avram Miller, a director of the Company, pursuant to his Advisory Agreement, dated October 11, 2023, by and between Mr. Miller and the Company) (the “Closing Consideration”) plus 5,610,100 shares of Common Stock representing the Seller’s Earnout Shares (defined below) resulting from the automatic conversion of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred and, (ii) following the Closing Date, such Seller’s pro rata percentage of the shares of Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares” and, together with the Closing Consideration, the “Exchange Consideration”) to be issued to the Sellers upon the exercise or conversion of any of the Company’s derivative securities (subject to certain exceptions) that are outstanding at the Closing Date (the “Closing Derivative Securities”). Each Seller’s pro rata percentage of the Exchange Consideration is equal to the ratio of the aggregate number of GEDi Cube Shares owned by such Seller divided by the aggregate number of GEDi Cube Shares issued and outstanding, in each case, as of the Closing Date.

 

The transaction was accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805-10 - Business Combinations. As a result of the issuance of the Closing Consideration on the Closing Date and based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date, the Sellers held approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the closing of the Transaction and the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were initially recognized provisionally in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values as of the acquisition date are based on information that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company completed its accounting for this acquisition during the period ended June 30, 2024. As a result of the completion of the Company’s analysis, the amount of provisional in-process research and development was determined to have a value of nil. Accordingly, the amount of goodwill recognized was increased to include the previously recognized provisional amount of in-process research and development. There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as a result of this change to the provisional allocation.

 

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled approximately $156.6 million, which consisted of the following:

 

     
Common stock  $136,001,631 
Contingent consideration   20,557,500 
Total consideration transferred  $156,559,131 

 

The fair value of the Company’s common shares issued as consideration was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the Acquisition Date. The fair value of the contingent consideration was based on the Sellers’ right to receive additional shares of common, pro rata, upon the exercise or conversion of warrants, options and convertible notes payables outstanding as of the Closing Date.

 

The following table details the provisional fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

 

     
Cash  $65,851 
Prepaid & Other Assets   151,544 
Fixed Assets   16,243 
Operating lease ROU   624,366 
Total Assets Acquired:   858,004 
      
Accounts Payable   583,577 
Accrued Expenses   722,509 
Operating Lease liability   624,367 
Notes Payable   1,832,460 
Total Liabilities Assumed   3,762,913 
Net Assets Acquired   (2,904,909)
      
Goodwill   159,464,040 
Total Consideration  $156,559,131 

 

The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Gedi Cube. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

The fair values of the acquired tangible and intangible assets were determined using variations of the income approach. The income approach valuation methodology used for the intangible assets acquired makes use of Level 3 inputs.

 

The amounts of revenue and loss of Renovaro Cube, included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations from the three months ended September 30, 2024 are as follows:

 

     
Revenues  $ 
Net loss  $(48,406,163)

Accounting Estimates

Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates include the fair value of assets acquired in a business acquisition, contingent consideration, and equity instruments issued for goods or services.

 

Functional Currency & Foreign Currency Translation

Functional Currency & Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of Renovaro Biosciences Denmark ApS is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”) and the functional currency of Renovaro Cube is the Euro (“EUR”).

Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.

  

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2024. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring; (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are to be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company currently believes there are no other issued and not yet effective accounting standards that are materially relevant to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
