1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description
of Business
Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. (also
d/b/a Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.) (“Oncotelic”), was formed in the State of New York in 1988 as OXiGENE, Inc., was reincorporated
in the State of Delaware in 1992, changed its name to Mateon Therapeutics, Inc. in 2016, and then Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. in November
2020. Oncotelic conducts business activities through Oncotelic and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Oncotelic, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Oncotelic, Inc.”), PointR Data, Inc. (“PointR”), a Delaware corporation, and EdgePoint AI, Inc.
(“Edgepoint”), a Delaware Corporation for which there are non-controlling interests, (Oncotelic, Oncotelic Inc., PointR
and Edgepoint are collectively called the “Company”).
In
February 2020, the Company formed a subsidiary, Edgepoint. Edgepoint is a start-up company that plans to develop technologies and IP
related to various unmet issues within the pharma and medical device industries. The Company may spin off Edgepoint into a separate public
company.
The
Company is a cancer immunotherapy company dedicated to the development of first in class self-immunization protocol (“SIP™”)
candidates for difficult to treat cancers. The Company’s proprietary SIP™ candidates offer advantages over other immunotherapies
because they do not require extraction of the tumor or isolation of the antigens, and they have the potential for broad-spectrum applicability
for multiple cancer types. The Company’s proprietary product candidates have shown promising clinical activity in phase 2 trials
for the treatment of gliomas and pancreatic cancers. The Company aims to translate its unique insights, which span more than three decades
of original work using RNA therapeutics, into the deployment of antisense as a RNA therapeutic for diseases which are caused by TGF-β
overexpression, starting with cancer and expanding to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (“DMD”) and others. Oncotelic Inc.’s
lead product candidate, OT-101, is being developed as a broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug that can also be used in combination with other
standard cancer therapies to establish an effective multi-modality treatment strategy for difficult-to-treat cancers. Together, the Company
plans to initiate phase 3 clinical trials for OT-101 in both high-grade glioma and pancreatic cancer, and any other indications that
may evolve. The Company is evaluating the further development of its product candidates OXi4503 as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia
and myelodysplastic syndromes and CA4P in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma.
The
Company is also developing OT-101 for the various epidemics and pandemics, similar to the current corona virus (“COVID-19”)
pandemic. In this connection, the Company entered into an agreement and supplemental agreement with Golden Mountain Partners (“GMP”)
for a total of $1.2 million to render services and was paid for the development of OT-101. The Company recorded $0.9 and $1.2 million
as revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 respectively, upon completion of all performance obligations under the
agreement. No similar revenues were recorded during the same periods in 2021. Further, in June 2020, the Company secured $2 million in
convertible debt financing from GMP to conduct a clinical trial evaluating OT-101 against COVID-19. The Company discontinued enrollment
in its OT-101 clinical trial in patients with COVID-19 in June 2021. The trial completed randomization of 32 out of 36 patients planned,
on an intent to treat basis. The discontinuance of the trial was due to the continuing rise of more severe variants in Latin America,
leading to exhaustion of medical care infrastructure in Latin America.
In
addition, the Company is developing Artemisinin. Artemisinin, purified from a plant Artemisia annua, is able to inhibit TGF-β
activity and is able to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). The Company’s test results during an in vitro study at Utah State University
showed Artemisinin having an EC50 of 0.45 ug/ml, and a Safety Index of 140. Artemisinin can target multiple viral threats including COVID-19
by suppressing both viral replication and clinical symptoms that arise from viral infection. Viral replication cannot occur without TGF-β.
Artemisinin also has been reported to have antiviral activities against hepatitis B and C viruses, human herpes viruses, HIV-1, influenza
virus A, and bovine viral diarrhea virus in the low micromolar range. TGF-β surge and cytokine storm cannot occur without TGF-β.
Clinical consequences related to the TGF-β surge, including ARDS and cytokine storm, are suppressed by targeting TGF-β with
Artemisinin. This was a global study, with India to contribute at least 120 patients upto the total potential aggregate of 3000 patients.
ARTI-19 in India was conducted by Windlas Biotech Private Limited (“Windlas”), business partner in India, as
part of the plan for the Company’s global effort at deploying PulmohealTM across India, Africa, and Latin America. We
continue to evaluate to seek approval, and subsequently launch PulmohealTM, with or without local partners, in various countries
within the regions planned. PulmohealTM is a combination of ARTIVedaTM, our artificial intelligence (“AI”)
cough application and our AI post marketing survey (“PMS”).
In
January 2021 and subsequently in February 2021, the Company announced preliminary results for ARTIVeda™, or PulmoHeal™,
which is the Company’s lead Ayurvedic drug against COVID-19 in India and being developed by the Company in partnership with Windlas.
These interim results were based on 120 randomized patients across 3 sites in India. The ARTI-19 India trial completed enrollment of
120 randomized individuals, we reported positive topline results in April 2021 and we expect final data as soon as available. Upon completion
of the trial results and obtaining regulatory approval for the use in India, it is the Company’s objective to file for Emergency
Use Authorization (“EUA”) with regulatory authorities around the world, including India, the United States, the United
Kingdom, countries in Africa and Latin America; discussions regarding EUA with several of these authorities have commenced.
Recent
Developments
Equity
Purchase Agreement
On
May 3, 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “EPL”) and Registration Rights Agreement (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”) with Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Peak One”), pursuant to
which the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct Peak One, to purchase up to $10.0 million (the “Maximum
Commitment Amount”) in shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) in multiple
tranches.
Geneva
Roth Remark Notes
On
May 25, 2021, the Company consummated the closing of a private placement transaction whereby, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement
(the “Geneva Agreement”) entered into with Geneva Roth Remark (“Geneva”), the Company issued a
convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $203,750 (the “Note 1”). Further on June 28, 2021,
the Company issued an additional convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $103,750 (“Note 2”,
and collectively with Note 1, the “Notes”). The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
Additional convertible promissory notes may be issued under the Geneva Agreement for up to $1.2 million in the aggregate principal amount
subject to further agreement by and between the Company and Geneva.
Extension
of Maturity Date for J.H. Darbie Financing Notes & Issuance of Oncotelic Warrants
The
Company issued and sold a total of 100 units (“Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) 25,000 shares of Edgepoint
common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Edgepoint Common Stock”), for a price of $1.00 per share of Edgepoint Common
Stock; (ii) one convertible promissory note issued by the Company (the “Unit Note”), convertible into up to 25,000
shares of EdgePoint Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share, or up to 138,889 shares of the Company’s Common Stock,
at a conversion price of $0.18 per share; and (iii) 100,000 warrants, consisting of (a) 50,000 warrants to purchase an equivalent number
of shares of EdgePoint Common Stock at $1.00 per share (“Edgepoint Warrant”), and (b) 50,000 warrants to purchase
an equivalent number of shares of Company Common Stock at $0.20 per share (“Oncotelic Warrant”) (collectively, the
“JH Darbie Financing”).
In
June 2021, the Company and the Investors agreed to extend the maturity date of the Notes from June 30, 2021, to March
31, 2022. In addition, the Company and JHDarbie
identified an error in the Oncotelic Warrants and JH Darbie Financing documents which intended to have the investors to purchase $50,000
of shares of Common Stock or Edgepoint Common
Stock. However, the Company only issued 50,000
Oncotelic Warrants, with an aggregate exercise
price of $10,000.
The error was corrected by the Company and the Company issued to the Investors an aggregate of 20.0
million additional Oncotelic Warrants, and 2.0
million additional Oncotelic Warrants to J.H.
Darbie., as placement agent. Each Investor was entitled to receive 200,000
additional Oncotelic Warrants for each Unit purchased.
The issuance of the additional warrants resulted in the Company recording an expense of $2,023,552 in the Company’s statement
of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2021. No similar expense was recorded
in the same period in 2020.
Consent
Solicitation
In
June 2020, the Company commenced a solicitation of various shareholder consents (the “Consent Solicitation”), pursuant
to a consent solicitation statement (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”), to the holders (the “Stockholders”)
of its Common Stock and Preferred Stock, to approve the following actions:
(1)
changing the name of the Company and changing the Company’s ticker symbol (the “Name Change”);
(2)
amending the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) to increase the number
of shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) available for issuance from 7.25 million shares to 27.25 million shares,
and increasing the maximum number of stock awards that may be issued in any fiscal year from 500,000 to 1,000,000 shares (the “Plan
Amendment”);
(3)
increasing the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 150,000,000 to 750,000,000 (the “Capital Increase”);
and
(4)
amending and restating the certificate of incorporation for the Company (the “Amended and Restated Certificate”) to
give effect to the Name Change, Capital Increase and forum selection provision.
The
Stockholders approved the Name Change, the Plan Amendment, the Capital Increase, and the Amended and Restated Certificate. In November
2020, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware changing
its name from “Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.” to “Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc.” Further, in February 2021, the Company
filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 150,000,000 shares
to 750,000,000 shares. The Company has converted its 278,188 shares of Preferred Stock to 278,187,847 shares of Common Stock effective
March 31, 2021.
The
Company registered an additional total of 20,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, which may be issued pursuant to the Registrant’s
Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) filed with the SEC along with our form S-8 on April 19,
2021. Such additional shares were approved by the Stockholders on August 10, 2020, as stated in the Company’s Current Report on
Form 8-K filed on August 14, 2020.
A
notice of corporate action was filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), requesting approval
to change its name and ticker symbol. On March 29, 2021, the Company received approval from FINRA on its notice of corporate action,
and effective March 30, 2021, the Company’s ticker symbol has changed from “MATN” to “OTLC”.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oncotelic, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Oncotelic Inc. and PointR, and Edgepoint
our non-controlled interest entity. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results
for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.
Liquidity
and Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company
has incurred net accumulated losses of approximately $27.7 million since inception of Oncotelic Inc., as the Company’s historical
financial statements before the Merger have been replaced with the historical financial statements of Oncotelic Inc. The Company also
has a negative working capital of $13.4 million at June 30, 2021 of which $2.6 million contingent liability of issuance of common shares
of the Company to PointR shareholders upon achievement of certain milestones in accordance with the PointR merger agreement. The Company
has negative cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $2.6 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of this filing. Management expects
to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future and recognizes the need to raise capital to remain viable. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The
Company’s long-term plans include continued development of its current pipeline of products to generate sufficient revenues, through
either technology transfer or product sales, to cover its anticipated expenses. Until the Company is able to generate sufficient revenues
from its current pipeline, the Company plans on funding its operations through the sale of equity and/or the issuance of debt, combined
with or without warrants or other equity instruments.
Between
July 2020 and March 2021, the Company raised gross proceeds of $5 million, through the JH Darbie Financing. The Company incurred $0.7
million of costs associated with the raise, of which $0.65 million was paid as direct placement fees to JH Darbie. JH Darbie and the
Company are parties to a placement agent agreement, dated February 25, 2020 pursuant to which JH Darbie had the right to sell a minimum
of 40 Units and a maximum of 100 Units on a best-efforts basis. Concurrently with the sale of the Units, JH Darbie was granted, a warrant,
exercisable over a five-year period, to purchase 10% of the number of Units sold in the JH Darbie Financing. As such, the Company granted
10 Units to JH Darbie pursuant to the JH Darbie Placement Agreement.
In
addition to the JH Darbie Financing, the Company raised $0.1 million from the Equity Purchase Agreement with Peak One, $0.3 million from
Geneva and an additional $0.8 million from various bridge financiers, including $0.3 million from Autotelic Inc., a related party.
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a total of approximately $0.9 and $1.2 million, respectively in service
revenues from GMP. No similar revenues were recorded during the similar periods in 2021. There are no assurances that the Company would
be able to generate revenues for services and/or out-licensing fees in the near future.
Although
no assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to deliver on its revenue plans, or that unforeseen expenses may arise,
management believes that the potential equity and debt financing or other potential financing will provide the necessary funding for
the Company to continue as a going concern. Also, management cannot guarantee any potential debt or equity financing will be available
on favorable terms or at all. As such, management does not believe the Company has sufficient cash for 12 months from the date of this
report. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company will need to curtail operations, or cease operations
completely.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity-based transactions and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and revenues and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
The
Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation
of the financial statements. Significant estimates include the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment, deferred tax
asset and valuation allowance, and fair value of financial instruments.
Cash
As
of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020 the Company held all its cash in banks. The Company considers investments in highly liquid instruments
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and
December 31, 2020, respectively. Restricted cash consists of certificates of deposits held at banks as collateral for various purposes.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expense approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these
instruments. As defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” fair value is the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit
price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including
assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market
corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair
value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level
1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at
both initial and subsequent measurement.
The
three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:
●
|
Level
1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets
are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information
on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities
and listed equities.
|
●
|
Level
2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly
observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation
methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices
for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well
as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full
term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed
in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest
rate swaps, options and collars.
|
|
|
●
|
Level
3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be
used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
|
The
Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The derivative liabilities
associated with its 2019 bridge financing Convertible Notes (see Note 5), consisted of conversion feature derivatives at June 30, 2021
and December 31, 2020, are Level 3 fair value measurements.
The
table below sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities classified as Level 3
as of June 30, 2021 and 2020:

As
of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the convertible debentures
based on assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model. The key valuation assumptions used consists, in part, of the price of
the Company’s Common Stock, a risk-free interest rate based on the yield of a Treasury note and expected volatility of the Company’s
Common Stock all as of the measurement dates. The Company used the following assumptions to estimate fair value of the derivatives as
of June 30, 2021 and 2020:

When
the Company changes its valuation inputs for measuring financial liabilities at fair value, either due to changes in current market conditions
or other factors, it may need to transfer those liabilities to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Company
recognizes these transfers at the end of the reporting period that the transfers occur. For the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020,
respectively, there were no transfers of financial assets or financial liabilities between the hierarchy levels.
Net
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic
net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share includes the effect of Common Stock equivalents (notes convertible into Common
Stock, stock options and warrants) when, under either the treasury or if-converted method, such inclusion in the computation would be
dilutive. The following number of shares have been excluded from diluted loss since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement
and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the statements
of operations.
For
stock options issued to employees and members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) for their services, the Company
estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option
pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the
Common Stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the Common Stock.
For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based
compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period,
which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant
and revised.
Pursuant
to ASU 2018-07 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company
accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods
and assumptions to value the stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options noted above.
For
warrants issued in connection with fund raising activities, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each warrant using the
Black-Scholes pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to
the expected term of the warrant, the expected volatility of the Common Stock consistent with the expected life of the warrant, risk-free
interest rates and expected dividend yields of the Common Stock. If the warrants are issued upon termination or cancellation of prior
issued warrants, then the Company estimates the grant date fair value of the new warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model and evaluates
whether the new warrants are deemed as equity instruments or liability instruments. If the warrants are deemed to be equity instruments,
the Company records stock compensation expense and an addition to additional paid in capital. If however, the warrants are deemed to
be liability instruments, then the fair value is treated as a deemed dividend and credited to additional paid in capital.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the
forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined
to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets
of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature
of the assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no impairment losses recognized for long-lived assets.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company reviews
the intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not
that they are impaired. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating
performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. If the review indicates the
impairment, an impairment loss would be recorded for the difference of the value recorded and the new value. For the three and six months
ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no impairment losses recognized for intangible assets.

represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired business over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.
Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least once annually, at the reporting unit level or more frequently if events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is applied by performing a qualitative
assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is considered not more
likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment
would not be required. Otherwise, goodwill impairment is tested using a two-step approach.
The
first step involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit is
determined to be greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount is determined
to be greater than the fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step involves
calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill,
of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in step one. The implied fair value of the goodwill in
this step is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is less than the carrying value of
the goodwill, an impairment loss equivalent to the difference is recorded. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020,
there were no impairment losses recognized for Goodwill.
Derivative
Financial Instruments Indexed to the Company’s Common Stock
We
have generally issued derivative financial instruments, such as warrants, in connection with our equity offerings. We evaluate the terms
of these derivative financial instruments in order to determine their accounting treatment in our financial statements. Key considerations
include whether the financial instruments are freestanding and whether they contain conditional obligations. If the warrants are freestanding,
do not contain conditional obligations and meet other classification criteria, we account for the warrants as an equity instrument. However,
if the warrants contain conditional obligations, then we account for the warrants as a liability until the conditional obligations are
met or are no longer relevant. Because no established market prices exist for the warrants that we issue in connection with our equity
offerings, we must estimate the fair value of the warrants, which is as inherently subjective as it is for stock options, and for similar
reasons as noted in the stock-based compensation section above. For financial instruments which are accounted for as a liability, we
report any changes in their estimated fair values as gains or losses in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Convertible
Instruments
The
Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives
and Hedging”.
ASC
815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and
account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic
characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and
risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is
not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported
in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered
a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional
as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”
The
Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from
their host instruments) in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” Accordingly,
the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments
based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying Common Stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the
effective conversion price embedded in the note. Original issue discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the
related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of
conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying Common Stock at the
commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
ASC
815-40 “Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” provides that, among other things, generally,
if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an
asset or a liability.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
Under
ASU 2014-9, the Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of the promised good or services, in an amount that reflects
the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step:
(i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction
price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the
Company satisfies a performance obligation.
At
contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASU 2014-09, the Company identifies the performance obligation(s)
in the contract by assessing whether the goods or services promised within each contract are distinct. The Company then recognizes revenue
for the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation
is satisfied.
The
Company anticipates generating revenues from rendering services to other third party customers for the development of certain drug products
and/or in connection with certain out-licensing agreements. In the case of services rendered for development of the drugs, revenue is
recognized upon the achievement of the performance obligations or over time on a straight-line basis over the extended service period.
In the case of out-licensing contracts, the Company records revenues either upon achievement of certain pre-defined milestones, when
there is no obligation of the Company achieve any performance obligations in connection with the said pre-defined milestones, or upon
achievement of the performance obligations if the milestones require the Company to provide the performance obligations.
The
Company occasionally collects advance payments from customers toward commitments to provide services or performance obligations, in which
case the advance payment is recorded as a liability until the obligations are fulfilled and revenue is recognized.
Research
Service Agreement between GMP and Oncotelic /Oncotelic Inc. (“Oncotelic Entities”)
In
February 2020, Oncotelic Inc. and GMP entered into a research and services agreement (the “Agreement”) memorializing
their collaborative efforts to develop and test COVID-19 antisense therapeutics. In March 2020, the Company reported the positive anti-viral
activity results of OT-101 (the “Product”) in an in vitro antiviral testing performed by an independent laboratory
to GMP, at which time, the Oncotelic Entities and GMP entered into a supplement to the Agreement (the “Supplement”)
to confirm the inclusion of the Product within the scope of the Agreement, pending positive confirmatory testing against COVID-19. In
consideration for the financial support provided by GMP for the research, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement (as amended by the Supplement)
GMP was entitled to obtain certain exclusive rights to the use of the Product in the COVID field on a global basis, and an economic interest
in the use of the Product in the COVID field including 50/50 profit sharing. GMP paid the Company fees of $0.3 million for the Agreement
during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $0.9 million for the Supplement during the three months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
The Company also recorded approximately $40 thousand for reimbursement of actual costs incurred.
Agreement
with Autotelic BIO (“ATB”)
Oncotelic
Inc. had entered into a license agreement in February 2018 (the “ATB Agreement”) with ATB. The ATB Agreement licensed
the use of OT-101 in combination with Interleukin-2 (the “Combined Product”), and granted to ATB an exclusive license
under the Oncotelic Inc. technology to develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import and export the Combined Product, and
the Combination Product only, in the field, throughout the entire world (excluding the United States of America and Canada) as the territory,
on the terms and subject to the conditions of the ATB Agreement. The ATB Agreement requires ATB to be responsible for the development
of the Combination Product. Oncotelic Inc. was responsible to provide to ATB the technical know-how and other pertinent information on
the development of the Combination Product. ATB paid Oncotelic Inc. a non-refundable milestone payment in consideration for the rights
and licenses granted to ATB under the ATB Agreement, and ATB was to pay Oncotelic Inc. $500,000 within sixty days from the successful
completion of the in vivo efficacy studies. This payment was made after the successful completion of the in-vivo study and, as such,
the Company recorded the revenue. In addition, ATB is to pay Oncotelic Inc.: (i) $500,000 upon Oncotelic Inc.’s completion of the
technology know how and Oncotelic Inc.’s technical assistance and regulatory consultation to ATB, as determined by the preparation
of a Current Good Regulation Practices audit or certification by the Food and Drug Administration, with a mutual goal to obtain marketing
approval of the Combined Product developed by ATB in the aforementioned territory; (ii) $1,000,000 upon receiving marketing approval
of the Combined Product in Japan, China, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, or Korea; and (iii) $2,000,000 from receiving marketing approval of
the Combined Product in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, or the United Kingdom. The Company recorded $500,000 as revenue under the ATB
Agreement for the successful completion of the in-vivo study during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles –
Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new guidance requires only a one-step quantitative
impairment test, whereby a goodwill impairment loss will be measured as the excess of a reporting period unit’s carrying amount
over its fair value (not to exceed the total goodwill allocated to that reporting unit). It eliminates Step 2 of the current two-step
goodwill impairment test, under which a goodwill impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s
goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early
adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption
of ASU 2017-04 had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers
the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. ASU 2014-09 became effective on January 1, 2018. The ASU also requires
expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments,
and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company adopted ASU 2015-14 during the three months ended March
31, 2020 as till then, no revenue was earned by the Company.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes
certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either
a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard.
Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the
potential impact of the Update on its financial statements
All
other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.
NOTE
3 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
The
Company completed a merger with Oncotelic, which gave rise to Goodwill of $4,879,999. Further, we added goodwill of $16,182,456 upon
the completion of the Merger with PointR. In general, the goodwill is tested on an annual impairment date of December 31. However, since
both assets are currently being developed for various cancer and COVID-19 therapies, and the Company is contemplating other collaboration
efforts for both products and the other products that the Company owns, the Company does not believe the there are any factors or indications
that the goodwill is impaired.
Assignment
and Assumption Agreement with Autotelic, Inc.
In
April 2018, Oncotelic Inc. entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Autotelic
Inc., an affiliate company, and Autotelic LLC, an affiliate company, pursuant to which Oncotelic acquired the rights to all intellectual
property (“IP”) related to a patented product. As consideration for the Assignment Agreement, Oncotelic Inc. issued
204,798 shares of its Common Stock for a value of $819,191. The Assignment Agreement also provides that Oncotelic Inc. shall be responsible
for all costs related to the IP, including development and maintenance, going forward.

Convertible
Debentures
The
gross principal balances on the convertible debentures listed above totaled $1,000,000 and included an initial debt discounts totaling
$800,140, resulting from the recording of the original issue discount, the related financing costs, the beneficial conversion feature
for the intrinsic value of the non-bifurcated conversion option and the restricted shares issued contemporaneously with the convertible
notes.
Total
amortization expense related to these debt discounts was $81,639 and $460,339 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded additional and accelerated amortization of debt discounts,
which was created from the bifurcation of the conversion option related the host hybrid instruments, of $24,491 and $192,761, respectively
upon the partial and/or full conversion of debt by Peak One and TFK to shares of the Company’s common stock. The total unamortized
debt discount at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, was approximately $93,340 and $200,205, respectively.
All
the above notes issued to Peak One, TFK, our CEO and the bridge investors reached the 180 days during the year ended December 31, 2020.
As such, all the note holders had the ability to convert that debt into equity at the variable conversion price of 65% of the Company’s
lowest traded price after the first 180 days or at the lower of the Fixed Price or 55% of the Company’s traded stock price under
certain circumstances. This gave rise to a derivative feature within the debt instrument. As of December 31, 2020, we had a derivative
liability of approximately $777,000. The Company recorded additional derivative liability from the change in fair value of approximately
$50,262 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company also extinguished approximately $144,585 of derivative liability following
the conversion of certain notes to the Company’s common stock in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The
Company recorded additional derivative liability of approximately $870,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 since the conversion
option attached to certain notes became convertible into a variable number of shares of our common stock. The Company also extinguished
approximately $409,000 of derivative liability following the conversion of certain notes to the Company’s common stock in the six
months ended June 30, 2020. Following the recognition as derivative liability of the embedded conversion options, the Company fully amortized
the remaining unamortized beneficial conversion feature for approximately $232,000, recorded an initial $258,070 from the initial recognition
of the debt discount following the bifurcation of the embedded conversion option
Bridge
Financing
Peak
One Financing
On
April 17, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Peak One
Opportunity Fund, L.P. (the “Buyer”, “Peak One”), for a commitment to purchase convertible notes
in the aggregate amount of $400,000, pursuant to which, for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000, the Buyer purchased (a) Tranche
#1 in the form of a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $200,000 (the “Convertible Note”) and (b)
350,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) (the “Purchase and Sale Transaction”).
The Company used the net proceeds from the Purchase and Sale Transaction for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The
Convertible Note has a principal balance of $200,000, including a 10%$ OID of $20,000
and $5,000 in debt issuance costs, receiving
net proceeds of $175,000, with a maturity date of April 23, 2022. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the Buyer, amongst
other remedies, has the right to charge a penalty in a range of 18% to 40% dependent on the specific default event. Amounts due under
the Convertible Note may also be converted into shares (the “Tranche #1 Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s
Common Stock at any time, at the option of the holder, at (i) a conversion price, during the first 180 days, of $0.10 per share (the
“Fixed Price”), and then (2) at the lower of the Fixed Price or 65% of the Company’s lowest traded price after the
first 180 days or at the lower of the Fixed Price or 55% of the Company’s traded stock price under certain circumstances. The Company
has agreed to at all times, reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock a number of shares equal to at least two times
the full number of the Tranche #1 Conversion Shares. The Company may redeem the Convertible Note at rates of 110% to 140% over the principal
balance dependent on certain events and redeem the value with accrued interest thereon, if any.
The
issuance of the Convertible Note resulted in a discount from the beneficial conversion feature totaling $84,570, including $52,285 related
to the beneficial conversion feature and a discount from the issuance of restricted stock of 350,000 shares for $32,285. Total amortization
of these OID and debt issuance cost discounts totaled $0 for the 3 months ended June 30, 2021. Total unamortized discount on this note
was $0 and $0 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
On
June 12, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment of the Purchase Agreement (“Amendment #1”) in connection with
the draw-down of the second tranche, and to provide for additional borrowing capacity under that agreement. Amendment #1 increased the
borrowing amount up to $600,000, adding the ability to borrow an additional $200,000 in a third tranche.
On
June 12, 2019, the Buyer purchased Convertible Note Tranche #2 (“Tranche #2”) totaling $200,000, including a 10% OID
of $20,000 and a $1,000 debt issuance cost, receiving net proceeds of $179,000 against the April 17, 2019, Purchase Agreement with Peak
One, with a maturity date of June 12, 2022. Amounts due under Tranche #2 are convertible at the same terms as Tranche #1 above.
The
issuance of Tranche #2 resulted in a discount from the beneficial conversion feature totaling $180,000, including $132,091 related to
the conversion feature and a discount from the issuance of restricted stock of 350,000 shares for $47,909. Total amortization of these
OID and debt issuance cost discounts totaled $0 for the 3 months ended June 30, 2021. Total unamortized discount on this note was $0

Note into Common Stock of the Company at 65% of the traded price of the Company’s Common Stock until January 8, 2020. This amendment
put a temporary hold on Peak One to convert the debt under Tranche 1. This restriction did not apply if Peak One opted to convert the
Convertible Note at $0.10. The Company compensated Peak One 300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for delaying the conversion
until January 18, 2020. Such shares were issued to Peak One on November 14, 2019. Non-cash compensation expense of $60,000 was recorded

Fall
2019 Debt Financing
In
December 2019, the Company closed its Fall 2019 Debt Financing raising an additional $500,000 for gross proceeds of $1.0 million. The
Company entered into Note Purchase Agreements (the “Note Purchase Agreements”) with certain accredited investors for

All
the Fall 2019 Notes provide for interest at the rate of 5% per annum and are unsecured. All amounts outstanding under the Fall 2019 Notes

share, or (b) into shares of common stock of the Edgepoint, at a conversion price of $5.00 (based on a $5.0 million pre-money valuation)

The

of the discount totaled $0 and $111,111 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Total unamortized discount on

of the Company with additional tranches of financing of up to $1,200,000 in the aggregate term of the note. The convertible notes carry
a six (6%) percent coupon and a default coupon of 22%, and both mature one year from issuance. Geneva has the right from time to time,
and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following issuance date and ending on
the maturity date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of the note into the Company’s common stock at
a conversion price established at sixty five (65%) percent multiplied by the lowest two (2) daily volume weighted average price over
the fifteen (15) consecutive trading days. The convertible notes carry a put feature, at the option of Geneva, whereby upon the occurrence
of certain events of default, the convertible notes repayment should be accelerated, in the amount of principal plus accrued but unpaid

Paycheck
Protection Program
In
April 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $250,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”)
which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and is administered by
the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP provides loans to qualifying businesses in amounts up to 2.5 times
the average monthly payroll expenses and was designed to provide direct financial incentive to qualifying businesses to keep their workforce
employed during the Coronavirus crisis. PPP Loans are uncollateralized and guaranteed by the SBA and are forgivable after a “covered
period” (8 weeks or 24 weeks) as long as the borrower maintains its payroll levels and uses the loan proceeds for eligible expenses,
including payroll, benefits, mortgage interest, rent and utilities. The forgiveness amount will be reduced if the borrower terminates
employees or reduces salaries and wages more than 25% during the covered period. Any unforgiven portion is payable over 2 years if issued
before, or 5 years if issued after, June 5, 2020 at an interest rate of 1% with payments deferred until the SBA remits the borrowers
loan forgiveness amount to the lender, or if the borrower does not apply for forgiveness, 10 months after the covered period. PPP loans
provide for customary events of default, including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and insolvency events
and may be accelerated upon occurrence of one or more of these events of default. Additionally, the PPP Loans do not include prepayment
penalties.
The
Company believes it met the PPP’s loan forgiveness requirements and on August 7, 2021 applied for forgiveness. When
legal release is received from the SBA or lender, the Company will record the amount forgiven as forgiveness income within the other
income section of its statement of operations. If any portion of the PPP loan is not forgiven, the Company will be required to repay
that portion, plus interest, through the maturity date.
The
SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP loan, regardless of size. These audits may occur after the forgiveness has been granted. In accordance
with the CARES Act, all borrowers are required to maintain their PPP loan documentation for six years after the loan was forgiven or
repaid in full and to provide that documentation to the SBA upon request.
The
balance outstanding on PPP loan, inclusive of accrued interest, was $252,973 and $251,733 on June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
GMP
Note
In
June 2020, the Company secured $2 million in debt financing, evidenced by a one-year convertible note (the “GMP Note”)
from GMP, to conduct a clinical trial evaluating OT-101 against COVID-19 bearing 2% annual interest, and is personally guaranteed by
Dr. Vuong Trieu, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The GMP Note is convertible into the Company’s Common Stock upon the
GMP Note’s maturity one year from the date of the GMP Note, at the Company’s Common Stock price on the date of conversion
with no discount. GMP does not have the option to convert prior to the GMP Note’s maturity at the end of one year. Such financing
will be utilized solely to fund the clinical trial.
The
Company’s liability under GMP Note commenced to accrue when GMP first began to pay for services related to the clinical trial
to our third-party clinical research organization, up to a maximum of $2 million. As of December 31, 2020, GMP has been invoiced by
the clinical research organization for the full $2
million and as such the Company has recognized the liability as a convertible debt.
The
balance outstanding on the GMP Note, inclusive of accrued interest, was $2,040,329 and $2,000,000 on June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
respectively.

The
Company allocated the proceeds among the freestanding financial instruments that were issued in the single transaction using the relative
fair value method, which affects the determination of each financial instrument initial carrying amount. The Company utilized the relative
fair value method as none of the freestanding financial instruments issued as part of the single transaction are measured at fair value.
Under the relative fair value method, the Company made separate estimates of the fair value of each freestanding financial instrument
and then allocated the proceeds in proportion to those fair value amounts. The Company recorded non-controlling interests of approximately
$1 million in Edgepoint. Non-controlling interests represent the portion of net assets in consolidated entities that are not owned by
the Company and are reported as a component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
As
of the multiple closings of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2021, under the private placement memorandum with JH
Darbie, the estimated volume weighted grant date fair value of approximately $0.23 per share associated with the warrants to purchase
up to 2,035,000 shares of common stock issued in this offering, or a total of approximately $ 0.5 million, was recorded to additional
paid-in capital on a relative fair value basis. All warrants sold in this offering had an exercise price of $0.20 per share of the Company
stock or $1.00 per share of Edge Point, subject to adjustment, are exercisable immediately and expire three years from the date of issuance.
The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Black Scholes valuation models using the following input values:
SCHEDULE
OF FAIR VALUE WARRANTS ESTIMATED USING BLACK SCHOLES VALUATION MODEL
As
of the multiple closings of the Company through December 31, 2020, under the private placement memorandum with JH Darbie, the estimated
grant date fair value of approximately $0.18 per share associated with the warrants to purchase up to 3,465,000 shares of common stock
issued in this offering, or a total of approximately $0.6 million, was recorded to additional paid-in capital on a relative fair value
basis. All warrants sold in this offering had an exercise price of $0.20 per share of the Company stock or $1.00 per share of Edge Point,
subject to adjustment, are exercisable immediately and expire three years from the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants was
estimated using a Black Scholes valuation models using the following input values.
The
Company recorded an initial debt discount of approximately $0.7 million representing the intrinsic value of the non-bifurcated conversion
option embedded in the convertible debt instrument based upon the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock at
the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price.
The
Company recognized amortization expense related to the debt discount and debt issuance costs of $659,854 and $0 for the six months ended
June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, respectively, which is included in interest expense in the statements of operations.
On
June 29, 2021, the Company executed amendment #4 to the private placement memorandum. At the time of the original PPM, the Company had
inadvertently made an error in the PPM. Originally, the investor was granted 50,000 of the Company’s warrants to purchase an equivalent
number of shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $0.20 or 50,000 warrants to purchase an equivalent number of
Edgepoint’s common share at strike price of $1.00. However, the PPM was incorrectly written in that the investor could only invest
in $10,000 (50,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share) of common stock of the Company) or $50,000 (50,000 shares of common stock
in Edgepoint AI, Inc. at $1.00 per share). In conjunction with amendment #4 and to correct the error in the PPM, the Company approved
the issuance of further 20,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company to the investors in the 100 Units and 2,000,000

The
Company had gross deferred tax assets of approximately $68.0 million and $66.9 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively,
which primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards.
As
of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had gross federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $239.7 million
and $237.7 million, respectively, which are available to offset future taxable income, if any. The Company recorded a valuation allowance
in the full amount of its net deferred tax assets since realization of such tax benefits has been determined by our management to be
less likely than not.
At
June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had California state gross operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $74.9 million
and $69.8 million which will expire in various amounts from 2028 through 2040. At December 31, 2020, the Company had federal research
and development tax credits of approximately $3.3 million which will expire in 2021 and California state research and development tax
credits of approximately $1.4 million which have no expiration date.
The
Company identified its federal and California state tax returns as “major” tax jurisdictions. The periods out income tax
returns are subject to examination for these jurisdictions are 2017 through 2020. We believe our income tax filing positions and deductions
will be sustained on audit, and we do not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to our financial position.
Therefore, no liabilities for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not filed
its 2019 and 2020 federal and state corporate income tax returns. The Company expects to file these documents as soon as practical.
Portions
of these carryforwards will expire through 2038, if not otherwise utilized. The Company’s utilization of net operating loss carryforwards
could be subject to an annual limitation. as a result of certain past or future events, such as stock sales or other equity events constituting
a “change in ownership” under the provisions of Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
similar state provisions. The annual limitations could result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits before
they can be utilized. We have not performed a formal analysis, but we believe our ability to use such net operating losses and tax credit
carryforwards will be subject to annual limitations, due to change of ownership control provisions under Section 382 and 383 of the Internal
Revenue Code, which would significantly impact our ability to realize these deferred tax assets.
