1. Corporate overview:
Overview
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Inhibitor Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “INTI”, “we”, “us” or similar terminology), have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of September 30, 2023, and for all periods presented, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”). The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
As used herein, the term “Common Stock” means the Company’s common stock, $ par value per share.
The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. Readers of this Quarterly Report are strongly encouraged to review the risk factors relating to the Company which are set forth in the 2022 Annual Report and the Company’s other filings with the SEC.
Nature of the Business and Background
The Company is a pharmaceutical development company that is focused on developing and ultimately commercializing innovative therapeutics based on already approved active pharmaceuticals that have patent-protected methods of use and/or methods of delivery for patients with certain cancers and certain non-cancerous proliferation disorders. The Company has explored and expects to continue to explore acquiring or licensing other innovative pre-clinical and clinical stage therapeutics addressing unmet needs for the treatment of cancer and other diseases based on repurposing active ingredients of already approved drugs.
The Company’s current primary focus is on the development of therapies initially for basal cell carcinoma, prostate and lung cancers in the United States utilizing itraconazole, a drug currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to treat fungal infections, and which has an extensive history of safe and effective use in humans. The Company has developed intellectual property and know-how related to the treatment of cancer patients using itraconazole. In particular, the Company is negotiating with Johns Hopkins University to license US Patent 8,890,930 B2 which deals with methods of inhibiting angiogenesis and treating or preventing a disease or disorder (or symptoms thereof) associated with angiogenesis such as cancers like basal cell carcinomas.
Following the resolution of the litigation involving the Company in December 2022 and the resulting settlement agreement, the new Board and management of the Company intend to continue the development of itraconazole for basal cell carcinoma nevus syndrome (“BCCNS”), and other cancers and non-cancerous proliferative disorders. To that end, the development or acquisition of its own proprietary and patent-protected formulation of itraconazole is anticipated. In addition, the Company is exploring the addition of other product candidates that meet our strict criteria: products that target an unmet medical need of significant clinical value, and are patent protected, and that qualify for the 505(b)2 regulatory pathway.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company currently has no ongoing source of revenue. Miscellaneous income, including interest, is recognized when earned by the Company.
Deferred revenue represents cash received for royalties in advance of being earned. Such payments are reflected as deferred revenue until
recognized under the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Deferred revenue would be classified as current if management believes
the Company will be able to recognize the deferred amount as revenue within twelve months of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenue
will be recognized when the product is sold, and the royalty is earned. All deferred revenue is related to a BCCNS product, which is yet to be approved by FDA, and as a result the Company has determined that
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts as well as investments in highly liquid money market funds and sweep accounts with original maturities of three months or less. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, the Company may maintain cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. The Company continues to monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold the Company’s cash and limits its cash deposits to financial institutions with high credit standing.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and include the expenses paid to third parties who conduct research and development activities on behalf of the Company.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and non-employees using Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 – Accounting for Share-Based Payments, which provides for the use of the fair value-based method to determine compensation for all arrangements where shares of stock or equity instruments are issued for compensation. Fair values of restricted stock units issued are determined by the Company based predominantly on the trading price of the common stock on the date of grant. Fair value of each common stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of a peer group’s common stock and other factors estimated over the expected term of the options. The expected term of the options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes the expected term as the average of the weighted-average vesting term and the contract term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted shares of restricted common stock that are restricted as to trading for a period of one year from the date of grant. No stock-based awards were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributed to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to the differences in the periods that they are expected to reverse. Management has evaluated the guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and has determined that the Company had no uncertain income tax positions that could have a significant effect on the financial statements as of September 30, 2023.
Recent accounting pronouncements:
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not effective, and does not believe that any will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The
balance outstanding on the notes payable, related party at December 31, 2022 was $
4. Stockholders’ Equity:
Employee Stock Plans
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted restricted common shares with an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $ million to the members of our Board of Directors under the equity incentive plan. The common shares are fully vested upon issuance but are restricted to trading for a period of one year from the date of grant. There was no stock-based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
As of September 30, 2023, there were outstanding common stock options under the Company’s equity incentive plan of which were vested. There was no unamortized stock-based compensation at September 30, 2023. The weighted-average remaining contractual life, weighted-average exercise price per share and the aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding common stock options as of September 30, 2023 were years, $ and approximately $ million, respectively.
5. Legal Proceedings:
The Company may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” below.
As used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, unless otherwise indicated, the terms “the Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” and similar terminology refer to Inhibitor Therapeutics, Inc.
Background of the Company
We are a pharmaceutical development company that is focused on developing and ultimately commercializing innovative therapeutics based on already approved active pharmaceuticals that have patent-protected methods of use and/or methods of delivery for patients with certain cancers and certain non-cancerous proliferation disorders. We also have explored and expect to continue to explore acquiring or licensing other innovative pre-clinical and clinical stage therapeutics addressing unmet needs for the treatment of cancer and other diseases based on repurposing active ingredients of already approved drugs.
Our current primary focus is on the development of therapies initially for basal cell carcinoma, prostate and lung cancers in the United States utilizing itraconazole, a drug currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to treat fungal infections, and which has an extensive history of safe and effective use in humans. The Company has developed intellectual property and know-how related to the treatment of cancer patients using itraconazole. In particular, the Company is negotiating with Johns Hopkins University to license US Patent 8,890,930 B2 which deals with methods of inhibiting angiogenesis and treating or preventing a disease or disorder (or symptoms thereof) associated with angiogenesis such as cancers like basal cell carcinomas.
A minority shareholder of the Company was involved in extended litigation for approximately five years with the former majority shareholder of the Company, which through mediation finalized in late 2022 resulting in the forfeiture of all equity securities of the Company for cancellation by the former majority shareholder and resignation of all Directors and Officers. As part of the settlement, the Company received a cash payment of $14.25 million, forgiveness of certain debts owed by the Company to the former majority shareholder, new officers and directors were elected, and the Company continued under new management. Further details have been disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
Following the resolution of the litigation involving the Company in December 2022 and the resulting settlement agreement, the new Board and management of the Company intend to continue the development of itraconazole for BCCNS, and other cancers and non-cancerous proliferative disorders. To that end, the development or acquisition of its own proprietary and patent-protected formulation of itraconazole is anticipated.

Results of Operations
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022
Research and Development Expenses. We incurred approximately $0.3 million in research and development expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The expenses are primarily patent-related expenses and personnel costs relating to research and development activities. There were no such research and development expenses incurred during the same period in 2022.
General and Administrative Expenses. We incurred approximately $0.5 million and $0.1 million in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 general and administrative expenses were composed primarily of compensation costs of $0.2 million, insurance costs of $0.2 million, professional fees of $0.1 million. The increase of approximately $0.4 million is due primarily to the increase in overhead costs incurred as a result of the governance and management transitions related to litigation that resolved in December 2022.
Interest expense. We incurred approximately $0.01 million in interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2022 associated with the outstanding balance on the Mayne Term Debt Facility during the period. There was no such interest incurred during the same period in 2023.
Interest income. We recognized approximately $0.1 million of interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The interest income was generated from the proceeds resulting from the legal settlement received by the Company in December 2022 which earned interest within the Company’s depository accounts during the period. There was no such income earned during the same period in 2022.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022
Research and Development Expenses. We incurred approximately $0.7 million in research and development expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The expenses are primarily patent-related expenses and personnel costs relating to research and development activities. We incurred less than $0.01 million in research and development expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, relating to minimal costs incurred relating to patents.
General and Administrative Expenses. We incurred approximately $1.4 million and $0.2 million in general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 general and administrative expenses were composed primarily of compensation costs of $0.6 million, insurance costs of $0.4 million, professional fees of $0.1 million and a variety of other related costs. The increase of approximately $1.2 million is due primarily to the increase in overhead costs incurred as a result of the governance and management transitions related to litigation that resolved in December 2022.
Interest expense. We incurred approximately $0.02 million in interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, associated with the outstanding balance on the Mayne Term Debt Facility during the period. There was no such interest incurred during the same period in 2023.
Interest income. We recognized approximately $0.3 million of interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The interest income was generated from the proceeds resulting from the legal settlement received by the Company in December 2022 which earned interest within the Company’s depository accounts during the period. There was no such income earned during the same period in 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are presently developing and conducting our business plan and are exploring the potential acquisition or license of additional product candidates. Based on our current operational plan and budget, we expect that we will have sufficient cash to manage our business as now contemplated for more than 12 months. As we determine capital requirements for existing and new opportunities, we will consider raising additional capital in the public market.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
None.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a–15I and 15d–15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our third fiscal quarter of 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (and the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section thereof) and elsewhere may address or relate to future events and expectations and as such constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. Such statements may include, without limitation, statements with respect to our plans, objectives, projections, expectations and intentions and other statements identified by words such as “projects”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “intends”, “plans” or similar expressions. These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in our filings with the SEC. Actual results, including, without limitation: (i) our ability to develop and ultimately commercialize therapeutics, or (ii) the application and availability of corporate funds and our need for future funds. Such forward-looking statements also involve other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to materially differ from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and to vary significantly from reporting period to reporting period. Such factors include, among others,
| ● | acceptance of our business model by investors and potential commercial collaborators; | |
| ● | our future capital requirements and our ability to satisfy our capital needs; |
| 10 |
| ● | our ability to commence and complete required clinical trials of product candidates and obtain approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies in different jurisdictions; | |
| ● | our ability to secure and maintain key development and commercialization partners for our product candidate; | |
| ● | our ability to obtain, maintain or protect the validity of our owned or licensed patents and other intellectual property; | |
| ● | our ability to internally develop, acquire or license new inventions and intellectual property; | |
| ● | our ability to retain key executive members; | |
| ● | interpretations of current laws and the passages of future laws, rules and regulations applicable to our business; and | |
| ● | those risk factors listed under Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report and other factors detailed from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. |
Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual future results will not be different from the expectations expressed in this Report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
