NEUROPATHIX, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
(UNAUDITED)

 

 

Note 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Neuropathix, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on March 25, 2013 under the name TYG Solutions Corp. The Company consummated a share exchange transaction on July 25, 2018 with Kannalife Sciences, Inc. (“Kannalife”), a privately held Delaware corporation formed in 2010, the accounting acquirer. Upon completion of the share exchange transaction, Kannalife was treated as the surviving entity and accounting acquirer although the Company was the legal acquirer. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Kannalife the surviving entity and accounting acquirer. All references that refer to (the “Company” or “we” or “us” or “our”) are Kannalife, unless otherwise differentiated. Kannalife is a phytomedical/pharmaceutical company that specializes in the research and development of synthetic molecules and therapeutic products derived from botanical sources, including the cannabis taxa.

 

On November 9, 2018, the Company filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State that changed its name to Kannalife, Inc.

 

On November 4, 2020, the Company filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State that changed its name to Neuropathix, Inc. The Company concurrently submitted a request to FINRA for approval of the name change as well as a ticker symbol change from “KLFE” to “NPTX.” The Company’s name change and ticker symbol change was reviewed and processed by FINRA and went effective November 6, 2020.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

We have prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our balance sheets, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 2021. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021.

 

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.

 

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial condition. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the results of clinical testing and trial activities of the Company’s products, the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval to market its products, competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies, the price of, and demand for, Company products, the Company’s ability to negotiate favorable licensing or other manufacturing and marketing agreements for its products, and the Company’s ability to raise capital.

 

The Company currently has no commercially approved products and there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully commercialized. Developing and commercializing a product requires significant time and capital and is subject to regulatory review and approval as well as competition from other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change and is dependent upon the continued services of its employees and consultants and obtaining and protecting intellectual property.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, commonly known as COVID-19, surfaced. The spread of COVID-19 around the world in 2020 and 2021 has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. and international economies and, as such, the Company is unable to determine if it will have a material impact to its operations. The Company’s operations as of September 30, 2021 have not been significantly affected, but may be affected in the future, by the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s labor workforce, unavailability of products and supplies used in operations, and the decline in value of assets held by the Company.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

It is the Company’s policy that revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition.” Five basic steps must be followed before revenue can be recognized; (1) Identifying the contract(s) with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations; (2) Identifying the performance obligations in the contract, such as promising to transfer goods or services to a customer; (3) Determining the transaction price, meaning the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer; (4) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, which requires the company to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or services promised in the contract; and (5) Recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. Adoption of ASC 606 has not changed the timing and nature of the Company’s revenue recognition and there has been no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Our revenues consist of state and federal research grants and fees received from research services for third-party product development. These revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

On September 28, 2021, the Company received a notice of award for a $2.97 million Phase 2 STTR Study Grant (the “NINDS Study Grant Award”) from National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) – National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (“NINDS”). The NINDS Study Grant Award is funded through the NIH HEAL Initiative (“Helping End Addiction Long-Term”) for Development of Therapies and Technologies Directed at Enhanced Pain Management and will provide funding specifically in the Development of KLS-13019 for Neuropathic Pain. The NINDS Study Grant Award sets forth the funding allocation of $977,054 in year 1; $991,944 in year 2; and $1,001,774 in year 3. The Company is able to draw down on the grant to reimburse approved research and development activities. As of September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $35,000 in grant revenue and receivables in connection with this grand.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant matters requiring the use of estimates and assumptions include, but are not necessarily limited to, establishing the fair value of marketable securities and periodically evaluating marketable securities for potential impairment, fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, valuation of derivative liabilities and valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, based on information that is available at the time they are made.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, increased by potentially dilutive common shares ("dilutive securities") that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities include stock options and warrants granted, convertible debt, and convertible preferred stock.

 

The weighted average number of common stock equivalents not included in diluted income per share, because the effects are anti-dilutive, was 39,843,027 and 4,113,729 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 730, Research and Development (“ASC 730”) research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed when incurred. R&D costs include supplies, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing costs, contract and other outside service and facilities and overhead costs. Total R&D costs for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were $79,483 and $68,546, respectively. Total R&D costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were $284,136 and $375,938, respectively.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provision of FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired.  Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights.  Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense, which is included in the general and administrative expense in the consolidated financial statements based on the estimated grant date fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).  

 

Recently Issued Authoritative Guidance

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. In April 2019 and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” and ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief” which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” which defers the effective date for public filers that are considered small reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Since the Company is an SRC, implementation is not needed until January 1, 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has had a loss from operations of $2,801,028 and $2,977,590 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $15,834,391 at September 30, 2021 and has not yet established an adequate ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management plans to raise additional capital through the sale of convertible debt securities offering. However, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved or that management’s plans will be successful. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) to measure and disclosure the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:

 

Level 1 - Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

 

Level 2 - Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

 

Level 3 - Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 

10 
 

 

The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

The following table presents liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, on a recurring basis:

NOTE 10 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

Prior to the Share Exchange, the Company issued a convertible note to an investor, face value of $500,000, in exchange for $500,000 in cash. The note is unsecured, bears interest at the rate of 3% per annum and matures on February 16, 2030. The note is convertible into common stock of the Company at $0.10 per share at any time at the option of the holder, subject to a 4.9% blocking provision which prohibits the holder from converting into common stock of the Company if such conversion results in the holder owning greater than 4.9% of the outstanding common stock of the Company after giving effect to such conversion. On September 26, 2019, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock for the conversion of $123,627 convertible notes payable and $26,373 of related accrued interest. The outstanding balance on this convertible note after the conversion was $376,373 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

In December 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the investor a $100,000 convertible note bearing interest at 8% per annum (the “Note”). The Note matures two years from the date of issuance. The Note is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective conversion price of 75% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the fifteen days prior to conversion. The Company may not prepay this Note within the first six months. If, after the first six months until the maturity of the Note the Company:

 

  (a) elects to repay the Note, it must do so at a premium of one hundred and twenty five percent (125%) of the face amount of the Note, together with all unpaid and accrued interest to the date of repayment.
  (b) elects to involuntarily exercise conversion of this Note to the Holder, the Company must provide written notice to the Holder along with an executed copy of the Company’s Notice of Conversion, specifying that the Note shall be converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock based upon at an effective conversion price of 75% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the fifteen days prior to conversion.

The embedded conversion feature of this Note was deemed to require bifurcation and liability classification, at fair value. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also sold warrants to the investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock. The fair value of the derivative liability and warrants as of the date of issuance was in excess of the Note (see Note 12) resulting in full discount of the Note as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 

 

On March 12, 2020, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with two different accredited investors (each an “Investor”, and together the “Investors”) pursuant to which each Investor purchased an 8% unsecured convertible promissory note (each a “8% Note”, and together the “8% Notes”) from the Company. The terms and conditions of each of the 8% Notes are substantially the same. Each 8% Note has a principal amount of $105,000 less a $5,000 original issue discount for a purchase price of $100,000, with a maturity date of March 12, 2021. This note is in default as of March 12, 2021, which may trigger cross defaults on other notes. The Company is in negotiations to extend the maturity date of the Note. All principal amounts and the interest thereon are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of each Investor, after six (6) months from the date of the 8% Notes. These 8% Notes have a variable conversion price and the Company recorded embedded derivative liabilities. The fair value of the derivative liability and warrants as of the date of issuance was in excess of the 8% Note (see Note 12) resulting in full discount of the 8% Note. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued 988,069 shares of common stock for the conversion of $85,000 convertible notes payable and $4,731 of related accrued interest. The outstanding balance on these convertible notes after the conversion was $14,000.

 

On June 8, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, dated as of June 2, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with an accredited investor pursuant to which the investor purchased a 12% unsecured convertible promissory note (the “12% Note”) from the Company. The 12% Note has a principal amount of $165,000 less a $9,000 original issue discount (“OID”) for a purchase price of $156,000, of which $52,000 was paid on June 8, 2020 less $3,100 in transaction fees (the “First Tranche”). The 12% Note matures 12 months from the effective date of each tranche. This note is in default as of June 8, 2021, which may trigger cross defaults on other notes. The Company is in negotiations to extend the maturity date of the Note. All principal amounts and the interest thereon are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the Investor, after six (6) months from the date of the 12% Note. All closings occurred following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The 12% Note is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective conversion price of the lesser of (i) 68% multiplied by the lowest Trading Price (representing a discount rate of 32%) during the previous fifteen (15) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the date of the 12% Note or (ii) the Variable Conversion Price. In connection with the Purchase Agreement and the 12% Note, the Company issued a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 36,666 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share (the “Warrant”) which may be exercised by cashless exercise, exercisable for a period of three years. The 12% Note has a variable conversion price and the Company recorded embedded derivative liabilities. The fair value of the derivative liability and warrants as of the date of issuance was in excess of the 12% Note (see Note 13) resulting in full discount of the 12% Note.

On June 23, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, dated as of June 19, 2020, with an accredited investor pursuant to which the investor purchased a 12% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $150,000, less $20,750 in transaction-related, broker, legal and due diligence expenses. The note matures on June 19, 2021. This note is in default as of June 19, 2021, which may trigger cross defaults on other notes. The Company is in negotiations to extend the maturity date of the Note. Principal payments on the note shall be made in six (6) installments, each in the amount of $25,000, starting on December 19, 2020, and continuing thereafter each thirty (30) days for five (5) months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment of principal, and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due on the June 19, 2021. The investor is entitled to, at its option, convert all or any amount of the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest of the note into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time upon an event of default, at a conversion price for each share of common stock equal to the lesser of (i) the lowest trading price during the previous five (5) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the date of the note, or (ii) the Variable Conversion Price, subject to certain equitable adjustments. Furthermore, in connection with the securities purchase agreement and the note, the Company issued two common stock purchase warrants each to purchase 115,385 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.30 per share which may be exercised by cashless exercise, exercisable for a period of five years. One of the warrants only becomes exercisable upon default of the note. During the first quarter of 2021, the anti-dilution clause was triggered and the exercise price was reset to $0.09 resulting in the number of warrants to be increased to 1,696,838. During the third quarter of 2021, the anti-dilution clause was triggered and the exercise price was reset to $0.03 resulting in the number of warrants to be increased to 4,524,902. The note has a variable conversion price and the Company recorded embedded derivative liabilities. The fair value of the derivative liability and warrants as of the date of issuance was in excess of the note (see Note 13) resulting in full discount of the note.

 

Total interest expense on convertible notes payable, inclusive of amortization of debt discount of $49,315 and $92,466, amounted to $60,568 and $107,161 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Total accrued interest on convertible notes payable – related party, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, was $20,178 and $11,178, respectively.

 

NOTE 12 – PATENT PURCHASE LIABILITY

 

On December 17, 2020, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property Rights Purchase and Transfer Agreement (the “IP Purchase Agreement”) by and between Advanced Neural Dynamics (“AND”), Fox Chase, Dr. Douglas Brenneman (“Brenneman”) and the Company to acquire the IP Rights and concurrently entered into a Pharmaceutical Royalty Agreement with AND and Fox Chase.

Pursuant to the IP Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the IP Assets for a $570,000 aggregate purchase price payable in restricted common stock of the Company to Fox Chase, Brenneman and AND, payable as follows:

 

  1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company were issued to Fox Chase at a price per share of $0.27 for an aggregate of $270,000; and

 

  $300,000 in common stock will be issued to AND/Brenneman in five annual installments which shall be calculated as $60,000 divided by the average ten day closing price prior to each installment date with the initial installment date occurring on January 5, 2021; provided, however, that for the initial installment issuance price only, the price per share shall not be below $0.30 or above $0.60 per share.

 

In addition, AND/Brenneman shall receive cash payments of $15,000 annually, payable in quarterly installments to offset against tax payments, netted out against actual tax costs incurred. In the event such payments are not made, there will be a 10% penalty assessed on said late tax offset payment.

 

The liabilities from the IP purchase agreement are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining payments over the payment term using the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable.

 

The Company’s IP purchase agreement does not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, the Company uses an 8% discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate, which is determined using the average interest rate of our long-term debt as of December 17, 2020.

 

NOTE 13 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES 

 

The Company issued debts that consist of the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions. In addition, the Company issued warrants with variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes and warrants are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory note is indeterminate. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion option and warrants and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date. 

 

15 
 

 

Based on the various convertible notes described in Note 10 and 11, the fair value of applicable derivative liabilities on notes, warrants and change in fair value of derivative liability are as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

 

               
   Derivative Liability - Convertible Notes  Derivative Liability - Warrants  Total
Balance as of December 31, 2020  $153,140   $163,049   $316,189 
Additions during the period                  
Change in fair value   (460)   163,810    163,350 
Change due to exercise / redemptions   (68,072)   —      (68,072)
Balance as of September 30, 2021  $84,608   $326,859   $411,467 

 

The fair value of the derivative liability – convertible notes is estimated using a Monte Carlo pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

       
Market value of common stock   $0.0680.124
Expected volatility       55.9% - 57.5 %
Expected term (in years)     0.172.00  
Risk-free interest rate     0.00 %

 

The fair value of the derivative liability – warrants is estimated using a Monte Carlo pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

       
Market value of common stock   $0.0680.124
Expected volatility     80.5% - 104.7 %
Expected term (in years)     1.235.00

Common Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share. All common stock shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company, subject to the rights of the preferred stockholders.

Business Developments

 

The Company was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 25, 2013 under the name TYG Solutions Corp. Our original business plan was to develop iPhone and Android smartphone apps for companies who need an app for their internal and external operations. We subsequently expanded our operations to offering corporate website design services.

 

On July 25, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Kannalife Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kannalife Sciences”), and certain stockholders of Kannalife Sciences (the “Kannalife Sciences Stockholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares of Kannalife Sciences by means of a share exchange with the Kannalife Sciences Stockholders in exchange for newly issued shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Kannalife Sciences became a 99.7% owned subsidiary of the Company. The business operations of the Company regarding iPhone and Android smartphone apps was reduced significantly to focus efforts on target therapeutics and drug discovery, and accordingly, by virtue of the Share Exchange, the Company acquired the business of Kannalife Sciences including all of its assets. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and change in reporting entity, whereby Kannalife Sciences was the accounting acquirer.

 

On November 9, 2018, the Company filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to change its name to Kannalife, Inc. The Company concurrently submitted a request to FINRA for approval of the name change as well as a ticker symbol change to “KLFE” and such action went effective on January 17, 2019.

 

On November 4, 2020, the Company filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to change its name to “Neuropathix, Inc.” The Company concurrently submitted a request to FINRA for approval of the name change as well as a ticker symbol change from “KLFE” to “NPTX.” The Company’s name change and ticker symbol change was reviewed and processed by FINRA, and went effective November 6, 2020.

Kannalife Sciences was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 11, 2010. Kannalife Sciences is a developmental stage phyto-medical/pharmaceutical and drug discovery company that specializes in the research, development of cannabinoid and cannabinoid-based therapeutic products derived from synthetic and botanical sources, including the Cannabis “taxa (the word “taxa” is the plural of “taxon,” which defines a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms to form a unit).

 

Business Overview

 

As a result of the Share Exchange, our core businesses are comprised of the following:

 

  A drug development company focused on the research and development (R&D) of synthetic and phyto-medical products from:

 

  o naturally recurring sources, including but not limited to cannabis, hemp, and other similar species of plantae;

 

  o semi-synthetic sources; and

 

  o synthetic and bio-synthetic sources.

 

  Drug discovery platform to evaluate and potentially treat neurological and oxidative stress related disorders such as OHE, CTE and CIPN with high quality assured, quality controlled cGMP pharmaceutical grade semi-synthetic and synthetic cannabinoids, CBD, and CBD-like molecules.

 

  Topical skincare pre-clinical program designed to some of our patented, proprietary CBD-derived NCEs, for use as topical solutions, ointments, and creams for disorders such as diabetic neuropathies, diabetic ulcers, and for use as an anti-pruritic. Anti-pruritics are known as anti-itch drugs and medications that inhibit the itching often associated with a variety of disorders and diseases.

 

Cannabinoids are a class of molecules derived from Cannabis plants. The two primary cannabinoids contained in Cannabis are cannabidiol, or CBD, and D9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. Clinical and preclinical data suggest that CBD has positive effects on treating refractory epilepsy, FXS and arthritis and THC has positive effects on treating pain. Interest in cannabinoid therapeutics has increased significantly over the past several years as preclinical and clinical data has emerged highlighting the potential efficacy and safety benefits of cannabinoid therapeutics. The cannabinoid therapeutics market is expected to grow significantly due to the potential benefits these products may provide over existing therapies. In addition to KLS-13019 and KLS-13023 potentially offering first-line therapies to patients suffering from chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy and mild traumatic brain injury, respectively.

 

KLS-13019’s advanced formulation is designed to improve on some of the limitations associated with CBD, including but not limited to CBD’s low bioavailability and limited drug like properties. However, KLS-13019 has not been reviewed or approved for patient use by the FDA or any other healthcare authority in the world. Our pre-clinical studies suggest increased bioavailability, consistent plasma levels and the avoidance of first-pass liver metabolism. In addition, an in vitro study performed by us demonstrated that CBD is degraded to THC in an acidic environment such as the stomach.

 

In the past three years, our most recent research and development efforts have been centered on the use of KLS-13019 as a neuroprotectant and therapeutic agent to treat chronic and neuropathic pain. There is currently no FDA approved drug to treat CIPN. Our preclinical efforts in the research and development of treating CIPN with our lead compound KLS-13019 have been fostered by a successful study grant from NIH-NIDA that compared KLS-13019 to CBD in the prevention and reversal of neuropathic pain in animal models. As a result of the outcome of this and other preclinical studies, we believe there is strong evidence to support the use of KLS-13019 as a non-opioid solution to chronic and neuropathic pain in human clinical trials.

 

We intend to study KLS-13019 in patients with chemotherapy induced neuropathic pain, and we intend to study KLS-13023 in patients with mild traumatic brain injury. We believe that the claims made in the Pat. 9,611,213 and Pat. 10,004,722 sufficiently cover the use of the novel molecule KLS-13019 in the treatment of neuropathic pain, which is broadly defined and includes chemotherapy induced neuropathic pain (a/k/a: chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy).

To date, we have synthesized, pre-clinically tested and patented our proprietary CBD like NCEs, including KLS-13019, and also formulated a new CBD based molecule, KLS-13023. KLS-13023 is a target drug candidate that includes a synthetic CBD formulated in a gel capsule designed for potential use in humans, which is intended to enable more effective delivery of CBD. The formulation of this product is proprietary and currently held as a trade secret of the Company. CBD is the primary non-psychoactive component of cannabis. KLS-13023 has undergone a manufacturing feasibility study to improve some of the limitations associated with CBD, including but not limited to CBD’s low bioavailability and limited drug like properties and improvement of the delivery of CBD through the first pass in the gut and into the circulatory system. In our preclinical animal studies, KLS-13023 demonstrated effective intervention of neurodegeneration in the OHE disease state. We intend to study KLS-13023 in patients with mild traumatic brain injury. In addition, we expect that KLS-13023 will be classified by the FDA as an NCE. In our preclinical animal studies, KLS-13023 demonstrated effective intervention of neurodegeneration in the OHE disease state.

 

We believe these product candidates will provide new treatment options for patients, as well as additional treatment options for patients not currently receiving adequate relief from current treatment regimens.

 

We are still conducting pre-clinical studies and have not yet commenced our clinical program or tested KLS-13019 or KLS-13023 in humans. For KLS-13019, we plan to conduct Phase 1, and possibly Phase 2, clinical trials in either the United States or Australia, subject to applicable regulatory approval. We plan to conduct our Phase 1 clinical trials for KLS-13023 in either the United States or Australia, subject to applicable regulatory approval. We plan to submit NDAs for KLS-13019 and KLS-13023 to the FDA upon completion of all requisite clinical trials. We expect to initiate clinical trials for KLS-13019 and KLS-13023 in the first quarter of 2023.

 

We plan to conduct our Phase 1, and possibly Phase 2, clinical trials for KLS-13019 in the U.S. or Australia, subject to applicable regulatory approval, and do not expect at this time to file an investigational new drug application, or IND, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, prior to the commencement of those clinical trials. We must file an IND with the FDA and receive approval from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, or DEA, prior to commencement of any clinical trials in the United States.

 

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Comparison Between KLS-13019 and CBD

 

Results from PK and PD studies performed in evaluating CBD versus KLS-13019 have shown KLS-13019 to be superior in aqueous solubility (potential for drug absorption after oral administration); Log P (ratio which measures difference in solubility in two phases); bioavailability (proportion of the drug that enters the circulation); and C max at 10 mg/kg, p.o. (peak serum concentration).

 

 

 

Results from our pre-clinical efforts in the potential treatment of OHE and the potential treatment of CIPN have shown a marked improvement over 99.7% pure pharmaceutical grade synthetic CBD in side by side pre-clinical comparison. In a pre-clinical comparison for neuroprotection between CBD and KLS-13019, results indicated increased potency for the new molecule (KLS-13019) as determined by six assays, while both molecules exhibited efficacy in preventing oxidative stress-related toxicities back to control values.

Treatment with KLS-13019 alone, however, was 5-fold less toxic than CBD. Previous studies suggested that CBD targeted the NaCa2+ (sodium-calcium) exchanger in mitochondria to regulate intracellular calcium levels, an important determinant of neuronal survival. After treatment with an inhibitor, the mNCX inhibitor (“CGP-37157”), no detectable neuroprotection from ethanol toxicity was observed for either CBD or KLS-13019. Furthermore, AM630 (a CB2 antagonist) significantly attenuated CBD-mediated neuroprotection, while having no detectable effect on KLS-13019 neuroprotection. Our studies indicated KLS-13019 was more potent and less toxic than CBD. Both molecules can act through mNCX. Based on these results, amongst other things, we believe that KLS-13019 may provide an alternative to CBD as a therapeutic candidate to treat disease associated with oxidative stress.

 

 

  

 

As previously noted, comparisons between CBD and KLS-13019 have been published in peer reviewed articles in ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters (2016, 7, 424-428) and Journal of Molecular Neuroscience (14 August 2018).

 

Additional follow on studies recently published on May 10, 2019 in the Journal of Molecular Neuroscience have further advanced our studies on the mechanism of action for CBD and KLS-13019 in pre-clinical testing for the treatment of CIPN. The mechanism of action for CBD-and KLS-13019-mediated protection now has been explored with dissociated dorsal root ganglion (“DRG”) cultures using small interfering RNA (siRNA) to the mitochondrial Na+ Ca2+ exchanger-1 (“mNCX-1”). Treatment with this siRNA produced a 50–55% decrease in the immunoreactive (“IR”) area for mNCX-1 in neuronal cell bodies and a 72–80% decrease in neuritic IR area as determined with high-content image analysis. After treatment with 100 nM KLS-13019 and siRNA, DRG cultures exhibited a 75 ±5% decrease in protection from paclitaxel-induced toxicity, whereas siRNA studies with 10 μM CBD produced a 74± 3% decrease in protection. Treatment with mNCX-1 siRNA alone did not produce toxicity. The protective action of cannabidiol and KLS-13019 against paclitaxel-induced toxicity during a 5-h test period was significantly attenuated after a 4-day knockdown of mNCX-1 that was not attributable to toxicity. This data indicates that decreases in neuritic mNCX-1 corresponded closely with decreased protection after siRNA treatment. Pharmacological blockade of mNCX-1 with CGP-37157 produced complete inhibition of cannabinoid-mediated protection from paclitaxel in DRG cultures, supporting the observed siRNA effects on mechanism.

Sodium-Calcium Exchanger (“NCX”) (often denoted Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, NCX, or exchange protein) is an antiporter membrane protein that removes calcium from cells. The exchanger exists in many different cell types and animal species. The NCX is considered to be one of the most important cellular mechanisms for removing Ca2+ (calcium ions) from cells. The exchanger is usually found in the plasma membranes and the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum of excitable cells.

 

Mitochondria is a double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms. Mitochondria generate most of the cell’s supply of adenosine triphosphate (“ATP”), used as a source of chemical energy. ATP is a complex organic chemical that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells, including muscle contractions, nerve impulse propagation and chemical synthesis.  

 

According to Fallon, et al. in the March/April 2006 edition of Clinical Medicine, pain is uncontrolled with opioid treatments in approximately 20% of patients with advanced cancer, or 420,000 people in the United States. There are currently no FDA approved non-opioid treatments for patients who do not respond to, or experience negative side effects with, opioid medications. We believe that KLS-13019 has the potential to address a significant unmet need in this large market by treating patients with a product that employs a differentiated non-opioid mechanism of action, and offers the prospect of pain relief without increasing opioid-related adverse side effects. 

 

Clinical Timelines

 

As a result of the unprecedented effects of COVID-19, we have updated our clinical timelines to give effect to the significant interruption to business and financial operations worldwide as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. We will continue to monitor the progress of the shutdowns currently in effect, and revise our clinical timelines accordingly.

With respect to certain other proprietary compounds underlying Pat. 9,611,213, we plan on pursuing topical solutions as potential relief creams and/or ointments for neuropathic pain, anti-inflammation, anti-pruritic and skin ulcers. We are considering commercialization routes that include, but are not limited to, filing and FDA Monograph and/or pursing a path to the marketplace through INCI certification and registration with the PCPC. In preclinical testing, certain molecules under Pat. 9,611,213 were screened for neuroprotection and may have the potential mechanism of action for reducing inflammation and neuropathic pain. These molecules indicate that they are more soluble than CBD, also deemed a neuroprotectant with potential anti-inflammatory properties. A molecule that is potentially more water soluble than CBD in this regard may be good candidate(s) for use in topical applications.

 

We believe that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to proceed forth with a Phase 1 human safety trial for the treatment of Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy. All preclinical work in this indication, including animal toxicity studies, are expected to be completed before the end of the second quarter 2022. We plan on entering into clinical trials sometime in the first quarter of 2023.

 

Additionally, we believe that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to proceed forth with a Phase 1 human safety trial for the treatment of Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy. All preclinical work in this indication, including animal toxicity studies, are expected to be completed before the end of the second quarter 2023. We plan on entering into clinical trials sometime in the first quarter 2024.

 

We intend to seek additional capital to proceed with our business plan regarding additional drug pipeline opportunities.

 

NIH-NINDS Phase 2 STTR Study Grant Award

 

On September 28, 2021, the Company received a notice of award for a $2.97 million Phase 2 STTR Study Grant (the “NINDS Study Grant Award”) from National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) – National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (“NINDS”). The NINDS Study Grant Award is funded through the NIH HEAL Initiative (“Helping End Addiction Long-Term”) for Development of Therapies and Technologies Directed at Enhanced Pain Management and will provide funding specifically in the Development of KLS-13019 for Neuropathic Pain. The NINDS Study Grant Award sets forth the funding allocation of $977,054 in year 1; $991,944 in year 2; and $1,001,774 in year 3. Of significant collateral importance is the current epidemic of opioid addiction and abuse by patients in the United States and around the globe. Adding to the equation is the off-label use of opioids and gabapentinoids for chronic and neuropathic pain as a result of the unmet medical need and no FDA approved non-opioid drug to treat chronic and neuropathic pain, specifically chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (“CIPN”).

Components of Results of Operations

 

Our net losses were $2,801,028 and $2,977,590 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and we expect these losses to increase as we continue our development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidates. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when, or if, we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability.

 

Financial Operations Overview

 

The following discussion sets forth certain components of our statements of operations as well as factors that impact those items.

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues consist of state and federal research grants and fees received from research services for third-party product development. These revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

On September 28, 2021, the Company received a notice of award for a $2.97 million Phase 2 STTR Study Grant (the “NINDS Study Grant Award”) from National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) – National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (“NINDS”). The NINDS Study Grant Award is funded through the NIH HEAL Initiative (“Helping End Addiction Long-Term”) for Development of Therapies and Technologies Directed at Enhanced Pain Management and will provide funding specifically in the Development of KLS-13019 for Neuropathic Pain. The NINDS Study Grant Award sets forth the funding allocation of $977,054 in year 1; $991,944 in year 2; and $1,001,774 in year 3. The Company is able to draw down on the grant to reimburse approved research and development activities. As of September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $35,000 in grant revenue and receivables in connection with this grand.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Our research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in development and preclinical studies relating to our product candidates, including:

 

  expenses associated with preclinical development;

 

  personnel-related expenses, such as salaries, benefits, travel and other related expenses, including stock-based compensation;

 

  payments to third-party contract research organizations, or CROs, contractor laboratories and independent contractors; and

 

  depreciation, maintenance and other facility-related expenses.

 

We expense all research and development costs as incurred. Preclinical development expenses for our product candidates are a significant component of our current research and development expenses. Product candidates in later stage clinical development generally have higher research and development expenses than those in earlier stages of development, primarily due to increased size and duration of the clinical trials. We track and record information regarding external research and development expenses for each grant, study or trial that we conduct. From time to time, we intend to use third-party CROs, and have used contractor laboratories and independent contractors in preclinical studies. We recognize the expenses associated with third parties performing these services for us in our preclinical studies based on the percentage of each study completed at the end of each reporting period. 

  

We incurred research and development expenses of $284,136 and $375,938 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

  

We expect that our research and development expenses in 2021 and for the next several years will be higher than in 2020 as a result of the work needed for our expected initiation of our Phase 1 clinical trials of KLS-13019 and KLS-13023. These expenditures are subject to numerous uncertainties regarding timing and cost to completion. Completion of our preclinical development and clinical trials may take several years or more and the length of time generally varies according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of a product candidate. The cost of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of differences arising during clinical development, including, among others:

 

  the number of sites included in the clinical trials;

 

  the length of time required to enroll suitable patients;

 

  the size of patient populations participating in the clinical trials;

 

  the duration of patient follow-ups;

 

  the development stage of the product candidates; and

 

  the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidates.

 

30 
 

 

Due to the early stages of our research and development, we are unable to determine the duration or completion costs of our development of KLS-13019 and KLS-13023. As a result of the difficulties of forecasting research and development costs of KLS-13019 and KLS-13023 as well as the other uncertainties discussed above, we are unable to determine when and to what extent we will generate revenues from the commercialization and sale of an approved product candidate. 

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel serving in our executive, finance, accounting, legal and human resource functions. Our general and administrative expenses also include facility and related costs not included in research and development expenses, professional fees for legal services, including patent-related expenses, consulting, tax and accounting services, insurance and general corporate expenses. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase with the continued development and potential commercialization of our product candidates.

 

We expect that our general and administrative expenses in 2021 and for the next several years will be higher than in 2020 as we increase our headcount. We also anticipate increased expenses relating to our operations as a public company, including increased costs for the hiring of additional personnel, and for payment to outside consultants, including lawyers and accountants, to comply with additional regulations, corporate governance, internal control and similar requirements applicable to public companies, as well as increased costs for insurance.

 

Interest Income (Expense), net

 

Interest expense consists of interest expense on our notes payable. Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our money market bank account.

 

Income Taxes

 

We file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in various state and local jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities. The tax years ending 2017 through 2020 remain subject to examination for federal tax purposes and remain subject to examination in significant state tax jurisdictions.

 

As of December 31, 2020, we had $7.00 million of federal operating loss carryforwards. These operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2033. The Tax Reform Act of 1986, or the Act, provides for limitation on the use of net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards following certain ownership changes (as defined by the Act) that could limit our ability to utilize these carryforwards. We may have experienced various ownership changes, as defined by the Act, as a result of past financings. Accordingly, our ability to utilize the aforementioned carryforwards may be limited. Additionally, U.S. tax laws limit the time during which these carryforwards may be applied against future taxes; therefore, we may not be able to take full advantage of these carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

 

The closing of the Share Exchange transaction, together with private placements and other transactions that have occurred since our inception, may trigger, or may have already triggered, an “ownership change” pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If an ownership change is triggered, it will limit our ability to use some of our net operating loss carryforwards. In addition, since we will need to raise substantial additional funding to finance our operations, we may undergo further ownership changes in the future, which could further limit our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards. As a result, if we generate taxable income, our ability to use some of our net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to limitations, which could result in increased future tax liability to us.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

 

We have based our management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to preclinical development expenses and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

While our significant accounting policies are more fully discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements appearing above, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

We rely on third parties to conduct our preclinical studies and to provide services, including data management, statistical analysis and electronic compilation. Once our clinical trials begin, at the end of each reporting period, we will compare the payments made to each service provider to the estimated progress towards completion of the related project. Factors that we will consider in preparing these estimates include the number of patients enrolled in studies, milestones achieved and other criteria related to the efforts of our vendors. These estimates will be subject to change as additional information becomes available. Depending on the timing of payments to vendors and estimated services provided, we will record net prepaid or accrued expenses related to these costs.

 

Fair Value of Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for grants of stock options and restricted stock to employees based on their grant date fair value, and recognize compensation expense over the vesting periods. We estimate the fair value of stock options as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and we estimate the fair value of restricted stock based on the fair value of the underlying common stock as determined by our board of directors or the value of the services provided, whichever is more readily determinable. We account for stock options and restricted stock awards to non-employees using the fair value approach. Stock options and restricted stock awards to non-employees are subject to periodic revaluation over their vesting terms.

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provision of FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on the estimated grant date fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505, Equity–based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505”). Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

Results of Operations – For the Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

 

Revenues

 

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was $35,000 compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The revenue was the result of a grant received during the quarter.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses increased by $10,937 or 16%, to $79,483 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $68,546 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to more stock compensation through issuance of stock options to the officers and research and development companies for their services rendered during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased by $252,293 or 34%, to $484,830 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $737,123 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in stock based compensation issued to employees and consultants.

 

Results of Operations – For the Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

 

Revenues

 

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $67,000 compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The revenue was the result of a grant received during the quarter.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses decreased by $91,802 or 24%, to $284,136 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $375,938 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to less stock compensation through issuance of stock options to the officers and research and development companies for their services rendered.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased by $246,103 or 11%, to $2,057,434 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $2,303,537 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since our inception in 2010, we have devoted most of our cash resources to research and development and general and administrative activities. We have financed our operations primarily with the proceeds from the sale of preferred stock and convertible promissory notes, state and federal grants and research services. To date, we have not generated any revenues from the sale of products, and we do not anticipate generating any revenues from the sales of products for the foreseeable future. We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of September 30, 2021, our principal sources of liquidity were our cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $5,603. Our working capital deficit was $2,592,480 as of September 30, 2021.

 

Our sources of liquidity and cash flows are used to fund ongoing operations and research and development projects for our product candidates. In addition, as part of our business strategy, we occasionally evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies, and minority equity investments. Accordingly, a portion of our available cash may be used at any time for the acquisition of complementary products or businesses or minority equity investments. Such potential transactions may require substantial capital resources, which may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition or investment candidates, complete acquisitions or investments, integrate acquired businesses into our current operations, or expand into new markets. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurances that additional financing will be available to us in any required time frame and on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Equity Financings

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and year ended December 31, 2020, we received net proceeds of $0 and $522,150, respectively, from the sale of convertible notes and promissory notes.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and year ended December 31, 2020, we received net proceeds of $813,757 and $0, respectively, from the sale of shares of our common stock.

 

Debt

 

We had the following schedule of debt as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

 

    September 30,
2021
  December 31,
2020
Outstanding Debt Obligations:                
Loan payable   $ 982,910     $ 950,000  
Loan payable - related party     42,092       42,092  
Convertible notes payable     679,620       574,500  
Convertible notes payable – related party     125,479       70,000  
Capital lease obligations     36,912       27,764  
Total All Debt Obligations   $ 1,867,013     $ 1,664,356  

 

Future Capital Requirements

 

We have not yet achieved profitability and anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. As discussed in further detail below, we expect that our expenses will continue to grow and, as a result, we will need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. We may never achieve profitability. As such, we are dependent on obtaining, and are continuing to pursue, the necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of securities in order to continue our operations. Without adequate funding, we may not be able to meet our obligations. We believe these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We are currently raising capital and we anticipate raising funds sufficient to commence Phase 1 clinical trials for KLS-13019 for patients with chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy. We anticipate, based on current estimates, that costs associated Phase 1 clinical trials for KLS-13019 will be approximately $2.75 million.

  

Management of the Company believes that it will need to seek additional sources of capital to facilitate and carry out its business plan of proceeding forth with commencing a Phase 2 clinical trial for KLS-13019 for patients with chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy; commencing a Phase 1 clinical trial for KLS-13019 for patients suffering from the effects of mild traumatic brain injury; and commencing a Phase 1 clinical trial for KLS-13023 for patients suffering with overt hepatic encephalopathy. The cost of commencing and conducting these trials will likely be in the tens of millions of dollars.

 

Furthermore, it is difficult to predict our spending for our product candidates prior to obtaining FDA approval. Moreover, changing circumstances may cause us to expend cash significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more cash than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control.

 

Our expectations regarding future cash requirements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments that we make in the future. We have no current understandings, agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions or licenses of any products, businesses or technologies. We may need to raise substantial additional capital in order to engage in any of these types of transactions.

 

We expect to continue to incur substantial additional operating losses for at least the next several years as we continue to develop our product candidates and seek marketing approval and, subject to obtaining such approval, the eventual commercialization of our product candidates. If we obtain marketing approval for either of our product candidates, we will incur significant sales, marketing and outsourced manufacturing expenses. In addition, we expect to incur additional expenses to add operational, financial and information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our planned product commercialization efforts. We also expect to incur significant costs to comply with corporate governance, internal controls and similar requirements applicable to us as a public company.

 

34 
 

 

Our future use of operating cash and capital requirements will depend on many forward-looking factors, including, without limitation, the following:

 

  the initiation, progress, timing, costs and results of preclinical studies and clinical trials for our product candidates;

 

  the clinical development plans we establish for these product candidates;

 

  the number and characteristics of product candidates that we develop or may in-license;

 

  the terms of any collaboration agreements we may choose to execute;

 

  the outcome, timing and cost of meeting regulatory requirements established by the DEA, the FDA, the EMA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities;

 

  the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing our patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

 

  the cost of defending intellectual property disputes, including patent infringement actions brought by third parties against us;

 

  costs and timing of the implementation of commercial scale manufacturing activities; and

 

  the cost of establishing, or outsourcing, sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for any product candidates for which we may receive regulatory approval in regions where we choose to commercialize our products on our own.

 

To the extent that our capital resources are insufficient to meet our future operating and capital requirements, we will need to finance our cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaboration and licensing arrangements or other financing alternatives. We have no committed external sources of funds. Additional equity or debt financing or collaboration and licensing arrangements may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders will experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, would result in increased fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms, such as liquidation and other preferences that are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $858,639, including $1,571,403 of net non-cash expenses and a $370,986 net change in operating assets and liabilities. The net noncash expenses were primarily related to the stock based compensation and issuance of common stock shares of $1,148,291, amortization of debt discount of $245,598 and change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $163,350. The change in operating assets and liabilities was due to a $92,667 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $194,842 increase in payroll and related liabilities, a $145,333 increase in prepaid expenses and a $35,000 decrease in due to other receivables.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $807,789, including $1,730,189 of net non-cash expenses and a $289,612 net change in operating assets and liabilities. The net noncash expenses were predominantly related to the stock based compensation of $1,488,615, non-cash interest expense of $430,070, amortization of debt discount of $254,249 and change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $(468,097). The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $150,018 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $108,589 increase in payroll and related liabilities and a $22,005 increase in due to related party and prepaid expenses.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $14,622 compared to $0 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase was due to the purchase of equipment in 2021.

Financing Activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash provided by financing activities was $856,990 compared to $700,784 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was due to a significant increase of proceeds from the sale of common stock in 2021, partially offset by a decrease in proceeds from convertible notes payable and proceeds from loans payable.

Inflation

We have not been affected materially by inflation during the periods presented, and no material effect is expected in the near future.

Known Trends or Uncertainties

 

We have seen some consolidation in our industry during economic downturns. These consolidations have not had a negative effect on us to date; however, should consolidations and downsizing in the industry continue to occur, those events could adversely impact our future revenues and earnings, if any.

 

As discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the world has been affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Until the pandemic has passed, there remains uncertainty as to the effect of COVID-19 on our business in both the short and long-term.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, except for operating leases, or relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. In April 2019 and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” and ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief” which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” which defers the effective date for public filers that are considered small reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Since the Company is an SRC, implementation is not needed until January 1, 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) 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.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of September 30, 2021, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our reporting was ineffective due to a lack of sufficient resources to hire a support staff in order to separate duties between different individuals. The Company lacks the appropriate personnel to handle all the varying recording and reporting tasks on a timely basis. Steps that the Company believes it must undertake is to retain a consulting firm to, among other things, design and implement adequate systems of accounting and financial statement disclosure controls during the current fiscal year to comply with the requirements of the SEC. We believe that the ultimate success of our plan to improve our disclosure controls and procedures will require a combination of additional financial resources, outside consulting services, legal advice, additional personnel, further reallocation of responsibility among various persons, and substantial additional training of those of our officers, personnel and others, including certain of our directors such as our committee chairs, who are charged with implementing and/or carrying out our plan.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as required in Rule 13a-15(b). We are conducting an evaluation to design and implement adequate systems of accounting and financial statement disclosure controls. We expect to complete this review during 2021 to comply with the requirement of the SEC. We believe that the ultimate success of our plan to improve our internal control over financial reporting will require a combination of additional financial resources, outside consulting services, legal advice, additional personnel, further reallocation of responsibility among various persons, and substantial additional training of our officers, personnel and others, including certain of our directors such as our Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer, who are charged with implementing and/or carrying out our plan. It should also be noted that the design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting, or any system we design or implement in the future, will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
