NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

 

Klotho Neurosciences, Inc. (“The Company” or “Klotho”), formerly known as ANEW Medical, Inc., develops essential medicines for the treatment of chronic diseases – cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders. The Company currently has acquired two licensed platforms: a generic drug portfolio and a biosimilar biologics platform that uses biologic therapies to treat cancer, and a proprietary, patented gene therapy platform that uses a gene therapy approach to introduce a therapeutic protein called “Klotho” inside the body to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

 

On September 12, 2022, the Company acquired five market-approved anti-cancer drugs approved for sale in Germany. The Market Authorizations (MA’s) are for four of the drugs that comprise the “FOLFOX” and “FOLFIRI” multi-drug regimens used in treatment of metastatic colorectal and gastric cancer and in two of the drugs that are used to treat metastatic lung cancer. The drugs are important in the treatment of many solid tumors in both childhood and adult cancers. Previously, the Company acquired two off-patent bio generic antibodies from Reliance Life Sciences (RLS), the life science arm of Reliance Industries Pvt Ltd. of Navi Mumbai, India.

 

Effective July 24, 2024, the Company changed its legal name from ANEW Medical, Inc. to Klotho Neurosciences, Inc. This name change was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors to better reflect the strategic focus of its proprietary products. Throughout these financial statements, references to the “Company” refer to Klotho Neurosciences, Inc., formerly known as ANEW Medical, Inc (ANEW). Under certain circumstances, references to ANEW have remained useful when describing the sequence of events that occurred during the merger between Redwoods and ANEW.

 

Business Combinations

 

As of May 30, 2023, Redwoods Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a special purpose acquisition company (“Redwoods”), ANEW Medical Sub, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Merger Sub”) and ANEW Medical, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“ANEW”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement, which was amended as of November 4, 2023 (the “Business Combination Agreement”). On June 21, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into ANEW, with ANEW continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Redwoods (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the Business Combination, on June 21, 2024, Redwoods filed its Second Amended Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State and adopted the amended and restated bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which replaced Redwoods’ Charter and Bylaws in effect as of such time. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Redwoods changed its name to “ANEW Medical, Inc.”

 

For accounting purposes, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination are treated as a reverse acquisition and, as such, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer ANEW (Wyoming) will become the historical financial statements of the Company. Under this method of accounting, Redwoods was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing shares for the net assets of Redwoods, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Redwoods were stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Recapitalization

  

In connection with the merger, the Company issued six million shares in exchange for all the outstanding shares of ANEW. At $10 per Redwood’s share, the valuation of ANEW was $60 million.

 

Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, 15,130,393 shares of Company Common Stock were outstanding, from which 2,875,000 remained in escrow for the Redwoods founders. In addition, there were 12,030,000 warrants immediately exercisable and composed of 11,500,000 public warrants and 530,000 private warrants. Following the Closing, on June 21, 2024, the Company’s Common Stock and Warrants began trading on the Nasdaq under the symbols “WENA” and “WENAW,” respectively. The Public Units of Redwoods automatically separated into the component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, no longer trade as a separate security. Further, upon the closing of the Business Combination on June 21, 2024, the Company received approximately $181,339 in net cash proceeds.

 

At Closing, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and after giving effect to the redemptions of shares of Redwoods Common Stock: 

 

The total consideration paid at Closing (the “Merger Consideration”) by Redwoods to ANEW Medical, Inc. security holders was 6,000,000 shares of the Company common stock valued at $60 million (the “Consideration Shares”), based on an implied ANEW equity value of $60,000,000 valued at $10 per share;

 

Each share of ANEW Medical Common Stock, if any, that was owned by Redwoods, Merger Sub, ANEW Medical, Inc. or any other affiliate of Redwoods immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) was automatically cancelled and retired without any conversion or consideration;

 

Each share of Merger Sub common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Merger Sub Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one newly issued share of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation.

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note and Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with certain accredited investors (the “Redwoods PIPE Investors”) for an aggregate of 750,000 shares (bonus free trading shares and restricted shares issued at closing), with each unit consisting of one share of Company common stock (the “PIPE Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 (the “Redwoods PIPE Financing”). Upon the closing of the Redwoods PIPE Financing (which closed in connection with the closing of the Merger), the $2,000,000 were used by the Company to settle transaction costs. The Company received approximately $181,339 in net cash proceeds and recorded a receivable of $50,000 from the Redwoods PIPE Financing funds. The $2,000,000 note has been converted into shares and considered as paid in full as of December 31, 2024.

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company entered convertible promissory note and Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with certain accredited investors (the “ANEW PIPE Investors”) for an aggregate of 854,257 units (bonus free trading shares and restricted shares issued at closing), with each unit consisting of one share of Company common stock (the “PIPE Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 (the “ANEW PIPE Financing”). Upon the closing of the ANEW PIPE Financing (which closed in connection with the closing of the Merger), $1,000,000 was used by the Company to settle transaction costs. The Company received approximately $950,000 in cash proceeds and recorded a receivable of $50,000 from the ANEW PIPE Financing funds. The $2,000,000 note has been converted into shares and considered as paid in full as of December 31, 2024.

 

Certain ANEW stockholders may be entitled to up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock (the “Contingent Consideration Shares”), upon the following conditions being met:

 

(i)1,000,000 Contingent Consideration Shares upon the Company’s common stock achieving a closing price equal to or exceeding $15.00 for 10 trading days within a 20-day trading period in the first three years following the Closing; and

  

(ii)1,000,000 Contingent Consideration Shares upon the Company’s common stock achieving a closing price equal to or exceeding $20.00 for 10 trading days within a 20-day trading period in the first five years following the Closing.

  

In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been restated in all comparable periods up to June 21, 2024 and reflected as such as of December 31, 2024, to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, issued to ANEW’s stockholders in connection with the merger. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to ANEW’s common stock prior to the merger have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the merger.  

 

For accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing shares for the net assets of Redwoods, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Redwoods were stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. In connection with the Merger, in addition to the warrants, ANEW Medical assumed $589,081 in cash and $568,111 in income tax payable. The income tax payable of $568,111 was settled in full as of December 31, 2024 from the assumed $589,081 cash.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash of approximately $566,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $12.8 million. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has experienced recurring negative operating cash flows, and requires significant cash resources to execute its business plans. The Company is dependent on obtaining additional working capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities in order to continue to execute its development plans and continue operations. Without additional funding, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date of these financial statements. 

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company prepared the Financial Statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q and reflect, in management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been consolidated or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2024 Annual Report. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations and were not material.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments placed with banks, which have original maturities of three months or less and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The assets and liabilities are valued using a fair market basis as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. The Company uses a three-level hierarchy established by the FASB that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

  Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
     
  Level 3: Unobservable inputs with little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

8

 

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the most conservative level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets consist of acquired medical licenses and patents.

 

The Company acquires medical licenses for the treatment of medical conditions to market and sell in the future. The initial asset cost is the cost to acquire the license. Once in use, the Company amortizes the license cost over the useful life using the straight-line method. As part of the licensing agreements, the Company acquires patents and records the cost to acquire patents as the initial asset cost. Once the patents are approved and in use, assuming no litigation expenses, the Company amortizes the patent cost over the useful life using the straight-line method. The amortization period will not exceed the lifespan of the protection afforded by the patent. If the expected useful life of the patent is even shorter, the Company will use the useful life for amortization purposes. Thus, the shorter of a patent’s useful life or legal life will be used for the amortization period.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

 

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived and intangible assets periodically, or at least annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important, which could trigger an impairment review, include the following: significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future cash flows; significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy of the overall business; and significant negative industry trends. When management determines that the carrying value of long-lived and intangible assets may not be recoverable, impairment is measured as the excess of the assets’ carrying value over the estimated fair value. Management is not aware of any other impairment charges that may currently be required; however, the Company cannot predict the occurrence of events that might adversely affect the reported values in the future. On an annual basis, the Company tests the long-lived and intangible assets for impairment based on the projected net present value of cash flows for each asset. Prior to the annual impairment test, if circumstances change and a long-lived or intangible asset is deemed impaired, an impairment loss will be immediately recognized in the statements of operations. At December 31, 2024, the date of the last impairment test, the Company determined that the license related to Teleost Biopharmaceutic, LLC was impaired and recognized an impairment expense of $10,000 as of December 31, 2024. The Company determined that the estimated fair value of all other intangible assets exceeded their carrying value, indicating no impairment.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company is in a pre-revenue state and does not generate revenue. When the Company commences to derive revenue, those contracts will be accounted in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic ASC 606).

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASU 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized as the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company is subject to Income tax filings requirements in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company’s tax returns for years from 2022, 2023 and 2024 are subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities.

 

The Company reports income tax related interest and penalties within the income tax line item on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company likewise reports the reversal of income tax-related interest and penalties within such line item to the extent the Company resolves the liabilities for uncertain tax positions in a manner favorable to the accruals.

 

Net Loss Per Share (Basic and Diluted)

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the common share equivalents had been issued, if dilutive.

 

The following table details the net loss per share calculation, reconciles between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, and presents the potentially dilutive shares that are excluded from the calculation of the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Research and Development Cost

 

Research and development (R&D) costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs are related to the Company’s internally funded development of the Company medical licenses and patents. The Company R&D costs were $0 for the three and Three Months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Share-based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 718 and No. 505. The Company issues restricted stock to employees and consultants for their services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued at the date of grant. These shares are considered fully vested and the fair market value is recognized as an expense in the period granted. The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services. For agreements requiring future services, the consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period.

 

The Company recorded share-based compensation of $495,500 and $278,251 for the Three Months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

 

Warrants

 

As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Representative Warrant liabilities was $10,971 based on the closing price of the warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The fair value of the Representative Warrants was approximately $0.02 per Representative Warrant, which was based on the relative fair value to the Public Warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Representative warrants decreased by $13,515.

Segment Information

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) or decision-making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating and reporting segment, which is the business of research and development of essential medicines for the treatment of chronic diseases – cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders. See Note 11 Segment Information for additional information. 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which requires entities to estimate all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company is in a pre-revenue state and does not generate revenue and has no receivables from third party.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires incremental disclosure of segment information on an interim and annual basis. This ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements is required for public entities. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as of January 1, 2024, which resulted in additional disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items as well as incremental qualitative disclosures.

The Notes contain certain specified events of default, the occurrence of which would entitle the Investor to immediately demand repayment of all outstanding principal such as certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving the Company.

 

The Warrants expire five years from their respective dates of issuance. The Warrants are exercisable, at the option of the holder, at any time, for up to an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to $0.50, subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar events. The Warrants provide for cashless exercise under certain circumstances. The Warrants contain the same Maximum Percentage restrictions on exercise.

Upon effectiveness of the registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) executed by the Company and the Investor on the Closing Date, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Investor upon any conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants, within 15 days of the Closing Date. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, upon the registration statement being declared effective by the SEC on February 10, 2025, the Investor purchased a second Note in the principal amount of $1,086,957 and a second Warrant exercisable for up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 on February 13, 2025.

NOTE 9 — STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

 

On June 21, 2024, the Business Combination was completed. The transaction was accounted as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Redwoods was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Combined Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Klotho with the Transactions treated as the equivalent of Klotho issuing shares for the net assets of Redwoods, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing shares for the net assets of Redwoods, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Redwoods were stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. See “NOTE 1 — Organization and Business Description” for detail.

 

Equity Incentive Plan

 

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s Board adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Incentive Plan”). Although the Company does not have a formal policy with respect to the grant of equity incentive awards to the Company’s executive officers, the Company believes that equity awards provide Company’s executive officers with a strong link to the Company’s long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of the Company’s executives and the Company’s stockholders. In addition, Company believes that equity awards with a time-based vesting feature promote executive retention because this feature provides incentives to Company’s executive officers to remain in Klotho’s employment during the applicable vesting period. Accordingly, Company’s board of directors periodically reviews the equity incentive compensation of the Company’s executive officers and from time to time may grant equity incentive awards to them.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted 180,000 options and 0 shares as part of the Equity Incentive Plan and the share-based compensation expense totaled $495,500 related to options grants and vesting.

 

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of the various legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that any of these proceedings or other claims will have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Acquisition of SB Security Holdings, LLC

Pursuant to the SEA, the Company agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in SBSH (the “Acquisition”) in exchange for a number of newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock equal to ninety percent (90%) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, on a fully-diluted basis, as of the closing of the Acquisition. The closing of the Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including mutual agreement as to the legal transaction structure, approval by the Company’s stockholders, and Nasdaq approval.

The Notices cite the Company’s (a) not being in compliance with the minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) requirement as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) and (b) not being in compliance with the minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS) requirement as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A).

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until February 12, 2025, to regain compliance. To regain compliance, prior to February 12, 2025, (a) the Company’s minimum market value of publicly held shares must close at $15,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days and (b) the Company’s minimum market value of listed securities must close at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

 

On October 15, 2024, the Company received a delinquency notification letter (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq due to the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Notice cited the fact that the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days.

 

On March 31, 2025, subsequent to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Hearing conducted on March 28, 2025, the Company received notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel that the Panel had granted the Company’s request to continue its listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq” or the “Exchange”) subject to completing the Acquisition of SB Security Holdings, LLC no later than August 13, 2025.

NOTE 11 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company operates as a single reporting segment, focused on developing essential medicines for the treatment of chronic diseases – cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders. The Company currently has acquired two licensed platforms: a generic drug portfolio and a biosimilar biologics platform that uses biologic therapies to treat cancer, and two proprietary, patented technologies involving the melanocortin receptor-binding molecules and a gene therapy platform which uses a gene therapy approach to introduce a therapeutic protein called “Klotho” inside the body to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

 

The Company’s measure of segment profit or loss is net loss. The CODM is the chief executive officer (“CEO”). The CODM manages and allocates resources to the operations of the Company on a total company basis. Managing and allocating resources on a consolidated basis enables the CEO to assess the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions and research and development projects that are in line with the Company’s long-term company-wide strategic goals. Consistent with this decision-making process, the CEO uses consolidated financial information for purposes of evaluating performance, forecasting future period financial results, allocating resources, and setting incentive targets. Operating expenses are used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses net loss in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s peer group. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment.

 

The following table is representative of the significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM when managing the Company’s single reporting segment. A reconciliation to the consolidated net loss for the period ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is included at the bottom of the table below.

Overview

 

Klotho Neurosciences, Inc. (“The Company” or “Klotho”) develops essential medicines for the treatment of chronic diseases – cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders. The Company currently has acquired two licensed platforms: a generic drug portfolio and a biosimilar biologics platform that uses biologic therapies to treat cancer, and two proprietary, patented technologies involving the melanocortin receptor-binding molecules and a gene therapy platform which uses a gene therapy approach to introduce a therapeutic protein called “Klotho” inside the body to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

 

Effective September 17, 2024, the Company changed its legal name from ANEW Medical, Inc. to Klotho Neurosciences, Inc. This name change was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors to better reflect the strategic focus of its proprietary products. Throughout these financial statements, references to the ‘Company’ refer to Klotho Neurosciences, Inc., formerly known as ANEW or ANEW Public. Under certain circumstances, references to ANEW and ANEW Public have remained when useful in describing the sequence of events that occurred during the merger between Redwoods and ANEW.

 

As of May 30, 2023, Redwoods Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a special purpose acquisition company (“Redwoods”), Anew Medical Sub, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Merger Sub”) and ANEW Medical, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“ANEW”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement, which was amended as of November 4, 2023 (the “Business Combination Agreement”). On June 21, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into ANEW, with ANEW continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Redwoods (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the Business Combination, on June 21, 2024, Redwoods filed a Second Amended Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State, and adopted the amended and restated bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which replaced Redwoods’ Charter and Bylaws in effect as of such time. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Redwoods changed its name to “ANEW Medical, Inc.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

See Item 1, Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

 

Results of Operations

 

For accounting purposes, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination are treated as a reverse acquisition and, as such, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer Klotho will become the historical financial statements of Public ANEW. Under this method of accounting, Redwoods was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing shares for the net assets of Redwoods, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Redwoods were stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

 

We have not generated any operating revenues to date. To date, the Company’s operations have consisted of acquiring our licensed platforms and patents, and planning for the Business Combination. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as our expenses associated with planning our research and clinical testing operations.

 

Results of Operations for the Three and Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to the Three and Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

 

Revenues

 

The Company had no revenue for the Three Months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses are composed of consultant fees and professional fees.

 

Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $1,586,968 compared to $672,045 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $914,923. The increase was primarily due to increase in professional fees, general and administrative, and share-based compensation expense.

 

Net Loss

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $2,233,982 compared to a net loss of $672,044 for the three month period ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net loss was primarily due to increased share-based compensation expense as well as professional fees and general operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

   Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
   2025   2024 
         
Net cash used in operating activities  $(1,553,747)  $(21,976)
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities   -    (123,496)
Net cash provided by financing activities   2,055,875    175,000 
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents  $502,128   $29,528 
Cash, beginning of year   63,741    2,808 
Cash, end of year  $565,869   $32,336 

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the Three Months ended March 31, 2025 was $1,553,747, compared to $21,976, for the Three Months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of approximately $1,532,000. The significant increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to increases in expenses related to the business combination and continued operating costs. We expect net cash used in operating activities to increase in the coming periods, until our products are able to produce meaningful revenue.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the Three Months ended March 31, 2025 was $0, compared to $123,496 for the Three Months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $123,496. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is attributable to the Company not purchasing any new licenses during the period.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the Three Months ended March 31, 2025 was $2,055,875, which consisted of investments, proceeds from the business combination, as well as proceeds from related parties, an increase of approximately $1,881,000.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $565,869 and net working capital of ($1,649,874).

 

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and incurred significant transaction costs related to the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash of approximately $566,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $12.8 million. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has experienced recurring negative operating cash flows, and requires significant cash resources to execute its business plans. The Company is dependent on obtaining additional working capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities in order to continue to execute its development plans and continue operations. Without additional funding, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date of these financial statements. 

 

22

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As an emerging growth company, we can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend to avail ourselves of these options. Once adopted, we must continue to report on that basis until we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company.

 

We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering; (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenue are $1.07 billion or more; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or (iv) the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If, as a result of our decision to reduce future disclosure, investors find our common stock less attractive, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and the price of our common stock may be more volatile.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

  

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of December 31, 2024. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding any required disclosure.

 

23

 

Management has identified control deficiencies regarding inadequate accounting resources, the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting outsourced staff may prevent adequate controls in the future due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.

 

To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

 

These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 2013 Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based upon this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
