NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES

 

Nature of Operations

 

Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (“Enveric” or the “Company”) is a biotechnology company developing novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and addiction disorders. The head office of the Company is located in Naples, Florida. The Company has the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: Jay Pharma Inc. (“Jay Pharma”), 1306432 B.C. Ltd., MagicMed Industries, Inc. (“MagicMed”), Enveric Biosciences Canada Inc., Akos Biosciences, Inc. (“Akos”), and Enveric Therapeutics, Pty. Ltd. (“Enveric Therapeutics”).

 

Leveraging its unique discovery and development platform, The Psybrary™, Enveric has created a robust intellectual property portfolio of new chemical entities for specific mental health indications. Enveric’s lead program, the EVM201 Series, comprises next generation synthetic prodrugs of the active metabolite, psilocin. Enveric is developing the first product from the EVM201 Series – EB-002 (formerly EB-373) – for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Enveric is also advancing its product EB-003, a non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen from the EVM301 Series, which is expected to offer a first-in-class, new approach to the treatment of difficult-to-address mental health disorders, mediated by the promotion of neuroplasticity without also inducing hallucinations in the patient.

 

The Company has continued to pursue the development of MagicMed’s proprietary library, the Psybrary™ which the Company believes will help to identify and develop the right drug candidates needed to address mental health challenges. The Company synthesizes novel analogues of serotonin, using a mixture of chemistry and synthetic biology, resulting in the expansion of the Psybrary™, which includes 15 patent families with over a million potential variations and hundreds of synthesized molecules. The Company has created over 1,200 novel molecular compounds and derivatives that are housed in the Psybrary™. The Company’s current focus is to develop its lead molecules, EB-002 and EB-003, and to out license other molecules from the Psybrary™.

 

The Company screens newly synthesized molecules in the Psybrary™ through PsyAI™, a proprietary artificial intelligence (“AI”) tool. Leveraging AI systems is expected to reduce the time and cost of pre-clinical, clinical, and commercial development. The Company believes it streamlines pharmaceutical design by predicting ideal binding structures of molecules, manufacturing capabilities, and pharmacological effects to help determine ideal drug candidates, tailored to each indication. Each of these molecules that the Company believes are patentable can then be further screened to see how changes to its makeup alter its effects in order to synthesize additional new molecules. New compounds of sufficient purity are undergoing pharmacological screening, including non-clinical (receptors/cell lines), preclinical (animal), and ultimately clinical (human) evaluations. The Company intends to utilize the Psybrary™ and the AI tool to categorize and characterize the Psybrary™ substituents to focus on bringing more non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen molecules from discovery to the clinical phase.

 

Going Concern, Liquidity and Other Uncertainties

 

The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $102,919,859 as of September 30, 2024, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company has operating cash outflows of $6,414,590 and had a loss from operations of $6,458,440. Being a research and development company, since inception, the Company has not yet generated revenue and the Company has incurred continuing losses from its operations. The Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments. At September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $3,111,683 and working capital of $3,499,093. The Company’s current cash on hand is not sufficient to satisfy its operating cash needs for the 12 months from the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plan to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include raising additional working capital through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park (see Note 7), subject to registration, and may include additional collaborations with third parties as well as disciplined cash spending. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be required to undertake further cost-cutting measures including delaying or discontinuing certain operating activities.

As a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Inflation Risks

 

The Company considers the current inflationary trend existing in the North American economic environment reasonably likely to have a material unfavorable impact on results of continuing operations. Higher rates of price inflation, as compared to recent prior levels of price inflation, have caused a general increase in the cost of labor and materials. In addition, there is an increased risk of the Company experiencing labor shortages due to a potential inability to attract and retain human resources due to increased labor costs resulting from the current inflationary environment.

 

Nasdaq Notice

 

On November 21, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that as of September 30, 2023, the Company did not meet the minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). On February 6, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq, granting the Company an extension to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement by May 20, 2024. On May 21, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it regained compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq.

 

On May 16, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department stating that because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Company received an initial period of 180 calendar days from May 16, 2024, or until November 12, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and was unable to regain compliance during that time. The Company has applied for a second 180-day compliance period. As of the date hereof, the Company has not heard whether it will be granted the second compliance period. The Company anticipates conducting a reverse split during the first or second quarter of 2025 in order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement if the bid price of the Company’s common stock fails to close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior the end of the second compliance period.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principal of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Management’s opinion is that all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2024.

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies and recent accounting standards are summarized in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the periods reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effects on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include determining the fair value of transactions involving common stock, the valuation of warrants and preferred investment options, and the valuation of stock-based compensation and accruals associated with third party providers supporting research and development efforts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation. In the prior year, the Company included certain investor related expenses within research and development on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. These expenses were reclassified to general and administrative expenses in the current year. This reclassification had no effect on the Company’s previously reported results of operations, changes in equity, or cash flows.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

From inception through September 30, 2024, the reporting currency of the Company was the United States dollar while the functional currency of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries was the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar. For the reporting periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company engaged in a number of transactions denominated in Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure from changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar against the United States dollar.

 

The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its Canadian subsidiaries and Australian subsidiary into the United States dollar at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during each monthly period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as foreign currency translation gain (loss), which is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

The Company has not entered into any financial derivative instruments that expose it to material market risk, including any instruments designed to hedge the impact of foreign currency exposures. The Company may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the future.

 

Adjustments that arise from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in other comprehensive loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000 in the United States and Australia and $100,000 in Canada. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had greater than $250,000 at United States financial institutions, greater than $250,000 at Australian financial institutions, and less than $100,000 at Canadian financial institutions.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses include, among other things, internal and external costs associated with preclinical development, pre-commercialization manufacturing expenses, and clinical trials. The Company accrues for costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of the trial or services provided and the invoices received from its external service providers. In the case of clinical trials, a portion of the estimated cost normally relates to the projected cost to treat a patient in the trials, and this cost is recognized based on the number of patients enrolled in the trial. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accruals accordingly.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company files U.S. federal and state returns. The Company’s foreign subsidiary also files a local tax return in their local jurisdiction. From a U.S. federal, state, and Canadian perspective, the years that remain open to examination are consistent with each jurisdiction’s statute of limitations. The Company receives no tax benefit from operating losses due to a full valuation allowance.

 

Research and Development Tax Incentive Receivable

 

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia, participates in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that a percentage of the Company’s qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured. At each period end, management estimates the reimbursement available to the Company based on available information at the time.

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). The computation of basic net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 excludes potentially dilutive securities. The computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted. In accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”), penny warrants were included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for the purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share.

 

Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 7. SHARE CAPITAL AND OTHER EQUITY INSTRUMENTS

 

Equity Distribution Agreement

 

On September 1, 2023, the Company entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”), with Canaccord Genuity LLC (“Canaccord”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time, through Canaccord as sales agent and/or principal, shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share having an aggregate offering price of up to $10.0 million. Due to the offering limitations applicable to the Company and in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Company may offer Common Stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $2,392,514 pursuant to the prospectus supplement dated September 1, 2023 (the “Prospectus Supplement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, Canaccord may sell the Common Stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market offering”. The Company will pay Canaccord a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the Common Stock sold through Canaccord under the Distribution Agreement and has also agreed to reimburse Canaccord for certain expenses. The Company may also sell Common Stock to Canaccord as principal for Canaccord’s own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of Common Stock to Canaccord as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate terms agreement between the Company and Canaccord.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 1,668,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $2,392,502 under the Distribution Agreement, and charged offering costs of $583,713 to additional paid in capital on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were deferred offering costs related to the Distribution Agreement of $0 and $171,944, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there is $0 available under the Distribution Agreement.

 

On December 28, 2023, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (the “Inducement Letters”) with certain holders (the “Holders”) of the February 2022 Post-Modification Warrants and RD and PIPE preferred investment options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Existing Warrants and Investment Options”) pursuant to which the Holders agreed to exercise for cash their Existing Warrants and Investment Options to purchase 1,122,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in the aggregate, at a reduced exercised price of $1.37 per share (from an original exercise price of $7.78 per share), in exchange for the Company’s agreement to issue new warrants (the “Inducement Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,244,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Inducement Warrant Shares”), and the Holders to make a cash payment of $0.125 per Inducement Warrant share for total proceeds of $280,500. In January 2024, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $1,817,640 from the exercise of the Existing Warrants and Investment Options by the Holders and the sale of the Inducement Warrants. Because the Existing Warrants and Investment Options by the Holders and the sale of the Inducement Warrants that exercised on December 28, 2023 and unsettled until January 2024, the proceeds are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a subscription receivable as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, 418,000 shares of the Existing Warrants and Investment Options exercised were considered issued as the Company had the enforceable right to the obtain the cash proceeds, which were in-transit, and the Holders were no longer able to rescind the exercise election. Due to the beneficial ownership limitation provisions, 704,000 shares of the Existing Warrants and Investment Options exercised were initially unissued and held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until notice is received from the Holder that the shares may be issued in compliance with such limitation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued all 704,000 shares of common stock of the 704,000 shares of Existing Warrants and Investment Options exercised that were held in abeyance due to the beneficial ownership limitation provisions.

 

On December 28, 2023, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (the “Inducement Letters”) with certain holders of warrants and preferred investment options. The Inducement Letters prohibit the Company from entering into any variable rate transaction as defined in the Inducement Letters, including the issuance of (1) any variable priced debt or equity securities or (2) transactions whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price, such as through an at-the-market offering or an equity line of credit. The variable rate transaction restriction would have expired after six-months from the closing date of December 28, 2023 for the Inducement Letters for an issuance through an at-the-market offering, and one-year for the remaining variable rate transactions, however the restriction was waived for the at-the-market offering on March 8, 2024 and the equity line on May 3, 2024.

 

On March 8, 2024, the Company entered into a series of common stock purchase agreements for the issuance in a registered direct offering of 228,690 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Holders of the Inducement Warrants. The issuance was made in exchange for the permanent and irrevocable waiver of the variable rate transaction limitation solely with respect to the entry into and/or issuance of shares of common stock in an at the market offering contained in the Inducement Letters. The fair value of the shares issued for consideration of waiving the variable rate transaction limitation was $322,453 and was charged to additional paid in capital, as it is direct and incremental to the Distribution Agreement, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as an offering cost related to the Distribution Agreement.

Lincoln Park Equity Line

 

On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $10.0 million of the Company’s common stock subject to certain limitations and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $10.0 million of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Purchase Shares”). However, such sales of Common Stock by the Company, if any, will be subject to important limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including limitations on number of shares that may be sold. Sales may occur from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion, over the 24-month period commencing on the date that the conditions to Lincoln Park’s purchase obligation set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied, including that a registration statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock that have been and may be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, which the Company has filed with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC. As required under the Purchase Agreement, the Company registered a resale of 1,140,477 shares of our common stock, plus the 139,403 commitment shares, by Lincoln Park on a registration statement on Form S-1 dated November 8, 2023, which was declared effective by the SEC on December 5, 2023. As of July 30, 2024, there were no remaining shares available to be issued in connection with this registration statement. On September 4, 2024, the Company filed an amended Form S-1, which was declared effective by the SEC on September 11, 2024. The amended Form S-1 registered an additional 4,900,000 shares of common stock that are available to be issued to Lincoln Park in connection with this agreement.

 

Because the purchase price per share to be paid by Lincoln Park for the shares of Common Stock that the Company may elect to sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of the Company’s Common Stock at the time the Company elects to sell shares to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, it is not possible for us to predict the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company will sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that Lincoln Park will pay for shares purchased from us under the Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that the Company will receive from those purchases by Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement.

 

On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into a series of common stock purchase agreements for the issuance in a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 458,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to certain institutional investors. The issuance was made in exchange for the permanent and irrevocable waiver of the variable rate transaction limitation with respect to any existing or future agreement by the Company to effect any issuance of shares and issue such shares thereunder, as contained in those certain Inducement Offer Letters, dated December 28, 2023, between the Company and those certain institutional investors. The Company will not receive any net proceeds in connection with the offering. The fair value of the shares issued for consideration of waiving the variable rate transaction limitation was $448,840 and was recorded as deferred offering costs, as direct and incremental to the Purchase Agreement, within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet related to the Purchase Agreement.

 

The common stock purchase agreements contain customary representations and warranties and certain indemnification obligations of the Company. The common stock purchase agreements also restrict the Company from issuing, entering into any agreement to issue, or announcing the issuance of the Company’s common stock from the date of the common stock purchase agreements until the earlier of 30 days after entering into the agreements or at such time as fifteen million (15,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock have traded in the open market. The closing of the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the common stock purchase agreements closed on May 3, 2024.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had issued 1,090,477 and 1,215,477 shares of common stock, respectively, through the Purchase Agreement for gross cash proceeds of $517,836 and $600,686, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company charged offering costs of $290,029 and $372,879, respectively, to additional paid in capital on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has capitalized deferred offering costs of $508,599 and $395,660, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there were 4,825,000 shares available to be issued in connection with the Purchase Agreement.

our ability to retain key executives and scientists;
   
the ability to secure and enforce legal rights related to our products, including intellectual property rights and patent protection;
   
political, economic, and military instability in Israel which may impede our development programs;
   
our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing; and
   
the risk of loss in excess of insurance limitations on funds held in U.S Banking Institutions.

Business Overview

 

We are a biotechnology company dedicated to the development of novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and addiction disorders. Leveraging our unique discovery and development platform, the Psybrary™, we have created a robust intellectual property portfolio of new chemical entities for specific mental health indications. Our lead program, the EVM201 Series, comprises next generation synthetic prodrugs of the active metabolite, psilocin. We are developing the first product from the EVM201 Series – EB-002 – for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. We are also advancing its second program, the EVM301 Series – EB 003, a non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen – expected to offer a first-in-class, new approach to the treatment of difficult-to-address mental health disorders, mediated by the promotion of neuroplasticity without also inducing hallucinations in the patient.

 

Psychedelics

 

We have continued to pursue the development of MagicMed’s proprietary library, the Psybrary™ which we believe will help us to identify and develop the right drug candidates needed to address mental health challenges, including anxiety. We synthesize novel analogues of serotonin using a mixture of chemistry and synthetic biology, resulting in the expansion of the Psybrary™, which includes 15 patent families with over a million potential variations and hundreds of synthesized molecules. The Company has created over 1,200 novel molecular compounds that are housed in the Psybrary™. Our current focus is develop our lead molecules EB-002 and EB-003, a non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen, and to out-license other molecules from the Psybrary™.

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our general and administrative expenses decreased to $1,235,661 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $2,080,644 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $844,983, or 41%. This change was primarily driven by decreases in consulting expenses of $138,778, salaries and wages of $263,764, and legal fees of $192,941, all a direct result of the second quarter 2023 reduction in force and no longer pursuing the transfer and spin-off its cannabinoid clinical development pipeline assets to Akos Biosciences, Inc.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Our research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $762,717 as compared to $1,281,455 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 with a decrease of $518,738, or approximately 40%. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in CRO expense of $4,206, salaries and wages of $212,377, and product development of $208,312.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $84,814 as compared to $86,296 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, with a decrease of $1,482, or approximately 2%.

 

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities

 

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2024 resulted in an expense of $122 as compared to income of $67,822 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities is due to the exercise of 122,000 of warrants on December 28, 2023, resulting in less warrants outstanding and re-valued at September 30, 2024, as well as, the change in the closing price of Common Stock at the end of each period, as compared to the closing price of Common Stock at the beginning of each period with a strong inverse relationship between changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and the trading price of Common Stock.

Change in Fair Value of Investment Option Liability

 

Change in fair value of investment option liability the three months ended September 30, 2024 resulted in an expense of $501 as compared to income of $562,715 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The change in fair value is due to the exercise of 1,000,000 investment options on December 28, 2023, resulting in less investment options re-valued at September 30, 2024 and a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

 

The following table sets forth information comparing the components of net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Net loss  $(6,420,341)  $(13,855,796)

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our general and administrative expenses decreased to $4,467,065 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $8,273,344 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $3,806,279, or 46%. This change was primarily driven by decreases in consulting expenses of $836,437, salaries and wages of $1,305,710, stock compensation expense of $623,259, investor relations of $313,509, legal fees of $487,863, and accounting fees of $227,200, all a direct result of the second quarter 2023 reduction in force and no longer pursuing the transfer and spin-off its cannabinoid clinical development pipeline assets to Akos Biosciences, Inc., and Delaware franchise taxes of $246,144 partially offset by an increase in director fees of $107,186.

Research and Development Expenses

 

Our research and development expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1,736,373 as compared to $5,531,436 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 with a decrease of $3,795,063, or approximately 69%. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease salaries and wages of $1,542,075, research costs of $1,056,511, product development costs of $532,063, CRO costs of $128,560 and the gain realized related to the Australian R&D tax incentive of $291,439.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $255,002 as compared to $259,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, with a decrease of $4,298, or approximately 2%.

 

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities

 

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulted in income of $20,722 as compared to a loss of $115,342 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities is due to the exercise of 122,000 of warrants on December 28, 2023, resulting in less warrants outstanding and re-valued at September 30, 2024, as well as, the change in the closing price of Common Stock at the end of each period, as compared to the closing price of Common Stock at the beginning of each period with a strong inverse relationship between changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and the trading price of Common Stock.

 

Change in Fair Value of Investment Option Liability

 

Change in fair value of investment option liability the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulted in income of $18,664 as compared to a loss of $399,921 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change in fair value is due to the exercise of 1,000,000 investment options on December 28, 2023, resulting in less investment options re-valued at September 30, 2024 and a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability

 

The Company’s change in fair value of derivative liability is due to the May 2023 redemption which ceased the probability of occurrence of the Akos spin-off and Akos Series A Preferred Stock redemption.

 

Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $102,919,859 as of September 30, 2024 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Further, the Company had operating cash outflows of $6,414,590 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a loss from operations of $6,458,440. Since inception, being a research and development company, the Company has not yet generated revenue and the Company has incurred continuing losses from its operations. The Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments. At September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $3,111,683 and working capital of $3,499,093. The Company’s current cash on hand is insufficient to satisfy its operating cash needs for the 12 months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plan to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include raising additional working capital through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, and may include additional collaborations with third parties as well as disciplined cash spending. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be required to undertake cost-cutting measures including delaying or discontinuing certain operating activities.

 

25

 

 

As a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Cash Flows

 

Since inception, we have primarily used our available cash to fund our product development and operations expenditures.

 

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

 

The following table sets forth a summary of cash flows for the years presented:

 

   For the Nine Months Ended September

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $7,210,386 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which consisted of $1,804,819 from the proceeds received from the stock subscription receivable, $2,676,980 for the exercise of the Inducement Warrants, $2,290,186 for the common stock sold under the Distribution agreement, net of offering costs, and $599,862 for the common stock sold under the Purchase Agreement, offset by $161,461 offering costs previously accrued for the Inducement Warrants.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $1,157,057 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which consisted of the redemption of redeemable non-controlling interest and payment of deferred offering costs.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses and related disclosures. Our critical accounting estimates are those estimates that involve a significant level of uncertainty at the time the estimate was made, and changes in them have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Our most critical accounting estimate includes determining the accruals associated with third party providers supporting research and development efforts.

 

26

 

 

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our primary market risk exposure is foreign currency exchange risk. From inception through September 30, 2024, the Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar while the functional currency of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar. For the reporting periods ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company engaged in a number of transactions denominated in Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure from changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.

 

The Company has not entered into any financial derivative instruments that expose it to material market risk, including any instruments designed to hedge the impact of foreign currency exposures. The Company may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the future.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified under the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The matters that management identified in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, continued to exist and were still considered material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting at September 30, 2024.

 

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based on this evaluation, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in paragraph (e) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of September 30, 2024.

 

Management’s Remediation Plan

 

As previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, management had concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023, because management identified inadequate segregation of duties to ensure the processing, review, and authorization of all transactions, including non-routine transactions resulting in deficiencies, which, in aggregate, amounted to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

As of September 30, 2024, there were control deficiencies that constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Management has taken, and is taking steps to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting: we have conducted evaluation of the material weakness to determine the appropriate remedy and have established procedures for documenting disclosures and disclosure controls.

 

27

 

 

While we have taken certain actions to address the material weaknesses identified, additional measures may be necessary as we work to improve the overall effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than the changes discussed above in the Company’s remediation plan, there have been no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during quarter ending September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The Company may be periodically involved in legal proceedings, legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not have any pending litigation that, separately or in the aggregate, would, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 26, 2024 and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2024 and August 12, 2024, respectively. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations of financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.

 

In the event that we fail to regain compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market or satisfy any of the listing requirements of Nasdaq, our common stock may be delisted, which could affect our market price and liquidity.

 

Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq. For continued listing on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with the continued listing requirements, including the minimum market capitalization standard, the stockholders’ equity requirement, the corporate governance requirements and the minimum closing bid price requirement, among other requirements. On May 16, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market stating that because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Company received an initial period of 180 calendar days from May 16, 2024, or until November 12, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and was unable to regain compliance during that time. The Company has applied for a second 180-day compliance period. As of the date hereof, the Company has not heard whether it will be granted the second compliance period. The Company anticipates conducting a reverse split during the first or second quarter of 2025 in order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement if the bid price of the Company’s common stock fails to close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior the end of the second compliance period.

 

In the event that we fail to receive a second compliance period, or to otherwise regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or satisfy any of the listing requirements of Nasdaq, our common stock may be delisted. We will have an opportunity to appeal the determination to a Hearings Panel, but we cannot guarantee that such appeal will be successful. If we are unable to list on Nasdaq, we would likely be more difficult to trade in or obtain accurate quotations as to the market price of our common stock. If our common stock is delisted from trading on Nasdaq, and we are not able to list our common stock on another exchange or to have it quoted on Nasdaq, our securities could be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or on the “pink sheets.” As a result, we could face significant adverse consequences including, without limitation:

 

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

 

28

 

 

a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
   
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our Company; and
   
a decreased ability to issue additional securities (including pursuant to short-form registration statements on Form S-3 or obtain additional financing in the future).

None.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

None.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not applicable.

Each Party will respond promptly to reasonable requests from the other Party for more information relating to such Inventions in order to determine whether such Inventions are Improvements. Each Party shall have the right to propose revisions to such invention disclosures to the other Party that owns Improvements, and the Party owning such Improvements shall take reasonable account of such proposed revisions in any resulting patent preparation.

 

6.4 Patent Extension. Each Party shall promptly notify the other if it becomes aware of Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product for which an application for Patent term extension or supplemental protection certificate may be based, including any Third Party product, or any other event in any country that would enable Company or Licensee as appropriate to apply for Patent term extension, or supplemental protection certificate or other regulatory or marketing exclusivity in any country.

  6.6.2 Newly Issued Third Party Patents. Following the Effective Date, if the Parties become aware that a patent has issued to a Third Party that either Party believes in good faith covers or claims the Licensed Product or its use or manufacture (a “New Third Party Patent”), Licensee may request that the Parties meet and discuss methods of addressing such New Third Party Patent, including determining whether, (i) it is commercially feasible to modify the features or attributes of such Licensed Product or its manufacturing process, or the indications for use of the Licensed Product, so as to avoid infringing the claims in such New Third Party Patent, and/or (ii) there is sufficient basis in fact and law to conclude that each relevant claim of such New Third Party Patent is invalid or unenforceable (any commercially feasible combination of options (i) and (ii) that addresses all relevant claims, a “New Work-Around”). Where Licensee determines, in its sole discretion, that no New Work-Around is commercially feasible in light of the costs, technical, or regulatory delays, risks, or legal or technical challenges associated therewith, such decision shall be deemed a decision that a Technical Failure has occurred with respect to such Licensed Product, and Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Licensed Product in accordance with Sections 7.3 or 7.4. Alternatively, Licensee may, in its sole discretion, enter into a license with the Third Party for rights under the New Third Party Patent and will be solely responsible for payment of royalties, fees, costs, and other liabilities under such license.

The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a Bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Party subject to such proceeding”), the other Party (the “non-subject Party”) shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) all data relating to Development and Regulatory Approval of the Licensed Product, and all embodiments of such intellectual property related thereto, which shall be promptly delivered (i) upon any such commencement of a Bankruptcy proceeding upon the non-subject Party’s written request therefor, unless the Party subject to such proceeding (x) elects to and does continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (y) rejects this Agreement and the non-subject Party elects to treat this Agreement as terminated, or (ii) if not delivered under clause (i) above, following the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the Party subject to such proceeding, upon written request therefor and the election by the non-subject Party to retain its rights under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 7.6 are without prejudice to any rights that a Party may have arising under any applicable insolvency statute or other applicable law, including the right of a Party to assert that this Agreement is not an executory contract subject to rejection under Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall be entitled to continue to sell (but not to actively promote after the effective date of termination) any existing inventory of Licensed Products in each terminated country of the Territory for which Regulatory Approval therefor has been obtained in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for a period of six (6) months following the effective date of such termination, and any Licensed Product sold or disposed of during this period shall be subject to the same consideration including without limitation the obligation to pay royalties for Licensed Product as would have applied had this Agreement otherwise remained in full force and effect. Following such period, Licensee, its Affiliates and Sublicensees shall not sell such terminated Licensed Products in such terminated country(ies).

11 ARTICLE 11 - DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

Any Dispute shall be resolved as provided in this Article 11 and, to the extent applicable, Article 12.

 

11.1 Informal Dispute Resolution. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute in the first instance utilizing the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 11.1. In the event of any Dispute, each Party may initiate the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 11.1 by providing written notice of the Dispute to the other Party. The Parties shall first attempt to resolve any such Dispute in good faith by escalating the Dispute to an authorized representative of each Party. The authorized representatives of each Party shall work in good faith to develop a plan to resolve the Dispute. If such matters are not resolved within twenty (20) days (“Resolution Period”) through such discussions, either Party may elect to seek resolution of the Dispute as provided in Section 11.2 hereof upon failure to timely agree upon a resolution.

 

11.2 Arbitration. If, in accordance with Section 11.1, the Parties have not reached a mutually acceptable resolution to the applicable Dispute following the informal dispute resolution process set forth in Section 11.1, either Party may submit such Dispute to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before a single arbitrator for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. The arbitration shall be conducted, in English and the arbitration venue shall be in a location agreed to by the Parties and failing agreement within 10 business days of submitting such Dispute to final and binding arbitration, in Buffalo, NY. The arbitrator(s) shall not have the authority or power to act as an amicable compositeur or to fashion any relief or remedy that would have the effect of modifying or amending the terms of this Agreement or creating additional rights or obligations of a party. The decision of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, and no party shall seek redress against the other in any court or tribunal except solely for the purpose of obtaining execution of the arbitral award or of obtaining a judgment consistent with the award. Any monetary award made in arbitration shall be made and payable in U.S. Dollars. Subject to Section 11.1 and this Section 11.2, either Party may initiate litigation as outlined in Section 11.3 or seek equitable relief as outlined in Section 12.14.

11.3 Formal Proceedings; Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 11, each Party may institute formal court proceedings at any time in order to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period, to preserve a position with respect to creditors, or to seek equitable relief in accordance with Section 12.14.

 

12 ARTICLE 12 – MISCELLANEOUS

 

12.1 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Party may assign this Agreement (including by operation of law, change of control, merger, or sale of assets) without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that: (i) either Party may, without such consent (a) collaterally assign, transfer or pledge its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any person for financing purposes, or (b) assign, delegate or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, this Agreement or its rights or obligation hereunder, to an Affiliate, provided that such Party shall remain responsible and liable for the performance by such Affiliate of its obligations hereunder; and (ii) either Party may, without such consent, assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement in whole or in part, and its rights and obligations hereunder to any Third Party in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its business, or in the event of its merger, consolidation, change in control or similar transaction, to or with such Third Party.

 

12.2 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements contain the complete agreement among the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. The Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement by reference and shall form a part of this Agreement. The various parts of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are intended to be complementary; however, unless explicitly stated otherwise in any Ancillary Agreement, any inconsistency, ambiguity, or conflict between this Agreement, its Attachments, Exhibits, and Schedules, any Ancillary Agreements and any Attachments, Exhibits, and Schedules thereto shall be resolved in the following order of precedence (with (i) having the highest priority): (i) the main body of this Agreement; (ii) Attachments, Exhibits, and Schedules to this Agreement; (iii) Ancillary Agreements; and (iv) Attachments, Exhibits, and Schedules to any Ancillary Agreement.

 

12.3 Amendment/Waiver.

12.4 Consents and Approvals. Whenever any term of this Agreement requires any agreement, consent, permission, or approval of a Party, such Party will act reasonably and in good faith and will not unreasonably withhold, delay, or condition such agreement, consent, permission, or approval, unless this Agreement expressly establishes some other standard with respect thereto, such as exercise of a Party’s sole discretion or the right to withhold any of the foregoing for any reason or no reason.

Either Party may change its address(es) set forth in this Section 12.7 at any time by giving prior written notice to the other Party of such change as provided above.

 

12.8 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (other than an obligation to make any payment) to the extent such failure or delay directly results from events beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party, including fires, floods, earthquakes, or other similar natural disasters or acts of God, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), terrorist acts, insurrections, riots, or civil commotion (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). The non-performing Party shall notify the other Party of a Force Majeure Event promptly (but in any event within five (5) days) after the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event by giving written notice to the other Party stating the nature of such Force Majeure Event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and the non-performing Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to promptly remedy its inability to perform and recommence performance.

 

12.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement with respect to each Party’s Affiliates and the indemnitees described in Article 9, the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each Party and its respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the Parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person, including employees.

 

12.10 Relationship of the Parties. In no event shall this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement be deemed to create: (i) a partnership, joint venture, or other joint business arrangement between Licensee or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Company, on the other hand; (ii) any fiduciary duty owed by a Party or any of its Affiliates to the other Party or any of its Affiliates; (iii) a relationship of employer and employee between a Party or any of its Affiliates and the other Party or any of its Affiliates; or (iv) any basis for any employee of a Party to claim that he or she is an employee of the other Party.

 

Page 26 of 30
 

 

12.11 Payments. All monetary amounts set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement are in U.S. Dollars, and all payments to be made under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by the receiving Party or otherwise pursuant to reasonable instructions set forth in the applicable invoice delivered by the receiving Party. Unless stated otherwise, all payments shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of: (i) the applicable payment period, or (ii) receipt of an applicable invoice. All late payments under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall bear interest from the date due until paid at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) one-half percent (0.5%) per month, and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law. The payment of such interest shall not limit the receiving Party from exercising any other right it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

 

12.12 Construction. Each of Licensee and Company confirm that it and its respective counsel have reviewed, negotiated, and adopted this Agreement as the joint agreement and understanding of the Parties and the language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. The captions used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize, or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no such caption had been used in this Agreement. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders and the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or) (for clarity, the use of the word either shall not mean “and/or”). The terms “include,” “includes,” and “including” as used herein are not limiting and shall be deemed to be followed (whether or not so followed) by “without limitation” so as not to limit the generality of any description preceding such term.

 

12.13 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees that from time-to-time, at the request of the other Party and without further consideration, it shall execute and deliver such other documents and take such other actions as the other Party may reasonably request to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

12.14 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, irreparable damage may occur, no adequate remedy at law may exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction and/or specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, without the need to prove irreparable damage or otherwise post a bond or other security.

 

12.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts with the same effect as if both Parties had signed the same document, each of which shall be deemed an original, shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent delivered by means of a telecopy machine or electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any Party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other Party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other Parties. No Party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise (i) the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or (ii) the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties (in the case of Company and Licensee, through their duly authorized representatives) have executed this Agreement in multiple counterparts, to be effective as of the Effective Date.

BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES

NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES

 

Nature of Operations

 

Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (“Enveric” or the “Company”) is a biotechnology company developing novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and addiction disorders. The head office of the Company is located in Naples, Florida. The Company has the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: Jay Pharma Inc. (“Jay Pharma”), 1306432 B.C. Ltd., MagicMed Industries, Inc. (“MagicMed”), Enveric Biosciences Canada Inc., Akos Biosciences, Inc. (“Akos”), and Enveric Therapeutics, Pty. Ltd. (“Enveric Therapeutics”).

 

Leveraging its unique discovery and development platform, The Psybrary™, Enveric has created a robust intellectual property portfolio of new chemical entities for specific mental health indications. Enveric’s lead program, the EVM201 Series, comprises next generation synthetic prodrugs of the active metabolite, psilocin. Enveric is developing the first product from the EVM201 Series – EB-002 (formerly EB-373) – for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Enveric is also advancing its product EB-003, a non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen from the EVM301 Series, which is expected to offer a first-in-class, new approach to the treatment of difficult-to-address mental health disorders, mediated by the promotion of neuroplasticity without also inducing hallucinations in the patient.

 

The Company has continued to pursue the development of MagicMed’s proprietary library, the Psybrary™ which the Company believes will help to identify and develop the right drug candidates needed to address mental health challenges. The Company synthesizes novel analogues of serotonin, using a mixture of chemistry and synthetic biology, resulting in the expansion of the Psybrary™, which includes 15 patent families with over a million potential variations and hundreds of synthesized molecules. The Company has created over 1,200 novel molecular compounds and derivatives that are housed in the Psybrary™. The Company’s current focus is to develop its lead molecules, EB-002 and EB-003, and to out license other molecules from the Psybrary™.

 

The Company screens newly synthesized molecules in the Psybrary™ through PsyAI™, a proprietary artificial intelligence (“AI”) tool. Leveraging AI systems is expected to reduce the time and cost of pre-clinical, clinical, and commercial development. The Company believes it streamlines pharmaceutical design by predicting ideal binding structures of molecules, manufacturing capabilities, and pharmacological effects to help determine ideal drug candidates, tailored to each indication. Each of these molecules that the Company believes are patentable can then be further screened to see how changes to its makeup alter its effects in order to synthesize additional new molecules. New compounds of sufficient purity are undergoing pharmacological screening, including non-clinical (receptors/cell lines), preclinical (animal), and ultimately clinical (human) evaluations. The Company intends to utilize the Psybrary™ and the AI tool to categorize and characterize the Psybrary™ substituents to focus on bringing more non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen molecules from discovery to the clinical phase.

 

Going Concern, Liquidity and Other Uncertainties

 

The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $102,919,859 as of September 30, 2024, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company has operating cash outflows of $6,414,590 and had a loss from operations of $6,458,440. Being a research and development company, since inception, the Company has not yet generated revenue and the Company has incurred continuing losses from its operations. The Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments. At September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $3,111,683 and working capital of $3,499,093. The Company’s current cash on hand is not sufficient to satisfy its operating cash needs for the 12 months from the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plan to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include raising additional working capital through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park (see Note 7), subject to registration, and may include additional collaborations with third parties as well as disciplined cash spending. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be required to undertake further cost-cutting measures including delaying or discontinuing certain operating activities.

 

 

ENVERIC BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

As a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Inflation Risks

 

The Company considers the current inflationary trend existing in the North American economic environment reasonably likely to have a material unfavorable impact on results of continuing operations. Higher rates of price inflation, as compared to recent prior levels of price inflation, have caused a general increase in the cost of labor and materials. In addition, there is an increased risk of the Company experiencing labor shortages due to a potential inability to attract and retain human resources due to increased labor costs resulting from the current inflationary environment.

 

Nasdaq Notice

 

On November 21, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that as of September 30, 2023, the Company did not meet the minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). On February 6, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq, granting the Company an extension to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement by May 20, 2024. On May 21, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it regained compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq.

 

On May 16, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department stating that because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Company received an initial period of 180 calendar days from May 16, 2024, or until November 12, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and was unable to regain compliance during that time. The Company has applied for a second 180-day compliance period. As of the date hereof, the Company has not heard whether it will be granted the second compliance period. The Company anticipates conducting a reverse split during the first or second quarter of 2025 in order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement if the bid price of the Company’s common stock fails to close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior the end of the second compliance period.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principal of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Management’s opinion is that all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2024.

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies and recent accounting standards are summarized in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the periods reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effects on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include determining the fair value of transactions involving common stock, the valuation of warrants and preferred investment options, and the valuation of stock-based compensation and accruals associated with third party providers supporting research and development efforts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

ENVERIC BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation. In the prior year, the Company included certain investor related expenses within research and development on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. These expenses were reclassified to general and administrative expenses in the current year. This reclassification had no effect on the Company’s previously reported results of operations, changes in equity, or cash flows.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

From inception through September 30, 2024, the reporting currency of the Company was the United States dollar while the functional currency of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries was the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar. For the reporting periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company engaged in a number of transactions denominated in Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure from changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar against the United States dollar.

 

The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its Canadian subsidiaries and Australian subsidiary into the United States dollar at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during each monthly period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as foreign currency translation gain (loss), which is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

The Company has not entered into any financial derivative instruments that expose it to material market risk, including any instruments designed to hedge the impact of foreign currency exposures. The Company may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the future.

 

Adjustments that arise from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in other comprehensive loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000 in the United States and Australia and $100,000 in Canada. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had greater than $250,000 at United States financial institutions, greater than $250,000 at Australian financial institutions, and less than $100,000 at Canadian financial institutions.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses include, among other things, internal and external costs associated with preclinical development, pre-commercialization manufacturing expenses, and clinical trials. The Company accrues for costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of the trial or services provided and the invoices received from its external service providers. In the case of clinical trials, a portion of the estimated cost normally relates to the projected cost to treat a patient in the trials, and this cost is recognized based on the number of patients enrolled in the trial. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accruals accordingly.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company files U.S. federal and state returns. The Company’s foreign subsidiary also files a local tax return in their local jurisdiction. From a U.S. federal, state, and Canadian perspective, the years that remain open to examination are consistent with each jurisdiction’s statute of limitations. The Company receives no tax benefit from operating losses due to a full valuation allowance.

 

Research and Development Tax Incentive Receivable

 

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia, participates in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that a percentage of the Company’s qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured. At each period end, management estimates the reimbursement available to the Company based on available information at the time.

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). The computation of basic net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 excludes potentially dilutive securities. The computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted. In accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”), penny warrants were included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for the purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share.

 

Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Equity Distribution Agreement

 

On September 1, 2023, the Company entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”), with Canaccord Genuity LLC (“Canaccord”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time, through Canaccord as sales agent and/or principal, shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share having an aggregate offering price of up to $10.0 million. Due to the offering limitations applicable to the Company and in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Company may offer Common Stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $2,392,514 pursuant to the prospectus supplement dated September 1, 2023 (the “Prospectus Supplement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, Canaccord may sell the Common Stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market offering”. The Company will pay Canaccord a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the Common Stock sold through Canaccord under the Distribution Agreement and has also agreed to reimburse Canaccord for certain expenses. The Company may also sell Common Stock to Canaccord as principal for Canaccord’s own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of Common Stock to Canaccord as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate terms agreement between the Company and Canaccord.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 1,668,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $2,392,502 under the Distribution Agreement, and charged offering costs of $583,713 to additional paid in capital on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were deferred offering costs related to the Distribution Agreement of $0 and $171,944, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there is $0 available under the Distribution Agreement.

 

On December 28, 2023, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (the “Inducement Letters”) with certain holders (the “Holders”) of the February 2022 Post-Modification Warrants and RD and PIPE preferred investment options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Existing Warrants and Investment Options”) pursuant to which the Holders agreed to exercise for cash their Existing Warrants and Investment Options to purchase 1,122,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in the aggregate, at a reduced exercised price of $1.37 per share (from an original exercise price of $7.78 per share), in exchange for the Company’s agreement to issue new warrants (the “Inducement Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,244,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Inducement Warrant Shares”), and the Holders to make a cash payment of $0.125 per Inducement Warrant share for total proceeds of $280,500. In January 2024, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $1,817,640 from the exercise of the Existing Warrants and Investment Options by the Holders and the sale of the Inducement Warrants. Because the Existing Warrants and Investment Options by the Holders and the sale of the Inducement Warrants that exercised on December 28, 2023 and unsettled until January 2024, the proceeds are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a subscription receivable as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, 418,000 shares of the Existing Warrants and Investment Options exercised were considered issued as the Company had the enforceable right to the obtain the cash proceeds, which were in-transit, and the Holders were no longer able to rescind the exercise election. Due to the beneficial ownership limitation provisions, 704,000 shares of the Existing Warrants and Investment Options exercised were initially unissued and held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until notice is received from the Holder that the shares may be issued in compliance with such limitation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued all 704,000 shares of common stock of the 704,000 shares of Existing Warrants and Investment Options exercised that were held in abeyance due to the beneficial ownership limitation provisions.

 

On December 28, 2023, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (the “Inducement Letters”) with certain holders of warrants and preferred investment options. The Inducement Letters prohibit the Company from entering into any variable rate transaction as defined in the Inducement Letters, including the issuance of (1) any variable priced debt or equity securities or (2) transactions whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price, such as through an at-the-market offering or an equity line of credit. The variable rate transaction restriction would have expired after six-months from the closing date of December 28, 2023 for the Inducement Letters for an issuance through an at-the-market offering, and one-year for the remaining variable rate transactions, however the restriction was waived for the at-the-market offering on March 8, 2024 and the equity line on May 3, 2024.

 

On March 8, 2024, the Company entered into a series of common stock purchase agreements for the issuance in a registered direct offering of 228,690 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Holders of the Inducement Warrants. The issuance was made in exchange for the permanent and irrevocable waiver of the variable rate transaction limitation solely with respect to the entry into and/or issuance of shares of common stock in an at the market offering contained in the Inducement Letters. The fair value of the shares issued for consideration of waiving the variable rate transaction limitation was $322,453 and was charged to additional paid in capital, as it is direct and incremental to the Distribution Agreement, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as an offering cost related to the Distribution Agreement.

Lincoln Park Equity Line

 

On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $10.0 million of the Company’s common stock subject to certain limitations and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $10.0 million of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Purchase Shares”). However, such sales of Common Stock by the Company, if any, will be subject to important limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including limitations on number of shares that may be sold. Sales may occur from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion, over the 24-month period commencing on the date that the conditions to Lincoln Park’s purchase obligation set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied, including that a registration statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock that have been and may be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, which the Company has filed with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC. As required under the Purchase Agreement, the Company registered a resale of 1,140,477 shares of our common stock, plus the 139,403 commitment shares, by Lincoln Park on a registration statement on Form S-1 dated November 8, 2023, which was declared effective by the SEC on December 5, 2023. As of July 30, 2024, there were no remaining shares available to be issued in connection with this registration statement. On September 4, 2024, the Company filed an amended Form S-1, which was declared effective by the SEC on September 11, 2024. The amended Form S-1 registered an additional 4,900,000 shares of common stock that are available to be issued to Lincoln Park in connection with this agreement.

 

Because the purchase price per share to be paid by Lincoln Park for the shares of Common Stock that the Company may elect to sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of the Company’s Common Stock at the time the Company elects to sell shares to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, it is not possible for us to predict the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company will sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that Lincoln Park will pay for shares purchased from us under the Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that the Company will receive from those purchases by Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement.

 

On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into a series of common stock purchase agreements for the issuance in a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 458,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to certain institutional investors. The issuance was made in exchange for the permanent and irrevocable waiver of the variable rate transaction limitation with respect to any existing or future agreement by the Company to effect any issuance of shares and issue such shares thereunder, as contained in those certain Inducement Offer Letters, dated December 28, 2023, between the Company and those certain institutional investors. The Company will not receive any net proceeds in connection with the offering. The fair value of the shares issued for consideration of waiving the variable rate transaction limitation was $448,840 and was recorded as deferred offering costs, as direct and incremental to the Purchase Agreement, within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet related to the Purchase Agreement.

 

The common stock purchase agreements contain customary representations and warranties and certain indemnification obligations of the Company. The common stock purchase agreements also restrict the Company from issuing, entering into any agreement to issue, or announcing the issuance of the Company’s common stock from the date of the common stock purchase agreements until the earlier of 30 days after entering into the agreements or at such time as fifteen million (15,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock have traded in the open market. The closing of the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the common stock purchase agreements closed on May 3, 2024.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had issued 1,090,477 and 1,215,477 shares of common stock, respectively, through the Purchase Agreement for gross cash proceeds of $517,836 and $600,686, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company charged offering costs of $290,029 and $372,879, respectively, to additional paid in capital on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has capitalized deferred offering costs of $508,599 and $395,660, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there were 4,825,000 shares available to be issued in connection with the Purchase Agreement.

EB-002, a next-generation proprietary psilocin prodrug, has been recognized as a New Chemical Entity (NCE) by Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration and is currently in preclinical development targeting the treatment of anxiety disorder. The total cost of the Avance Clinical contract is approximately 3,400,000 AUD, which translates to approximately $2,329,000 USD as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has paid 100% of the Avance Clinical contract costs and has $0 recorded as prepaid assets within prepaid and other current assets, accrued $0 recorded as accrued liabilities and $0 as accounts payable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has expensed $264,385 and $508,774, and $157,117 and $401,284, respectively, in research and development expenses within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2024, all payments have been made and the project is substantially completed.

 

According to Australian tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in Australia for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certain requirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a research and development tax credit receivable of $0 and $145,349, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred in Australia, included in prepaid and other current assets within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company received the amount due in relation to the research and development tax credit during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Purchase agreement with Prof. Zvi Vogel and Dr. Ilana Nathan

 

On December 26, 2017, Jay Pharma entered into a purchase agreement with Prof. Zvi Vogel and Dr. Ilana Nathan (the “Vogel-Nathan Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Jay Pharma was assigned ownership rights to certain patents, which were filed and unissued as of the date of the Vogel-Nathan Purchase Agreement. The patent portfolio acquired and developed under the Vogel-Nathan Purchase Agreement was sold to undisclosed buyers for an amount not material to these financials in the first quarter of 2024. No additional financial or other obligations exist regarding the Vogel-Nathan Purchase Agreement.

 

Other Consulting and Vendor Agreements

 

The Company has entered into a number of agreements and work orders for future consulting, clinical trial support, and testing services, with terms ranging between one and 12 months. These agreements, in aggregate, commit the Company to approximately $0.1 million in future cash payments, inclusive of amounts in accounts payable.

 

Reduction in Force/Restructuring

 

In May 2023, the Company entered into a cost reduction plan, including a reduction in force (“RIF”) of approximately 35% of its full-time employees to streamline its operations and conserve cash resources. Additionally, contracts with seven consultants that were focused on the Akos cannabinoid spin-out were terminated. The plan included a focus on progressing the Company’s existing non-cannabinoid pipeline while reducing the rate of spend and managing cash flow. In June 2023, the Company completed the reduction in force, with such severance expenses recorded in general and administrative accounts.

 

In June 2023, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Avani Kanubaddi, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer (the “Kanubaddi Separation Agreement”). In accordance with the Kanubaddi Separation Agreement, Mr. Kanubaddi received salary and benefits that is paid out in twelve monthly installments beginning in July 2023, was eligible for his 2023 performance bonus, which was not achieved, and any outstanding restricted stock units retained their vesting conditions.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation and Principal of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principal of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Management’s opinion is that all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2024.

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies and recent accounting standards are summarized in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the periods reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effects on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include determining the fair value of transactions involving common stock, the valuation of warrants and preferred investment options, and the valuation of stock-based compensation and accruals associated with third party providers supporting research and development efforts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Reclassification

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation. In the prior year, the Company included certain investor related expenses within research and development on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. These expenses were reclassified to general and administrative expenses in the current year. This reclassification had no effect on the Company’s previously reported results of operations, changes in equity, or cash flows.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

 

From inception through September 30, 2024, the reporting currency of the Company was the United States dollar while the functional currency of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries was the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar. For the reporting periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company engaged in a number of transactions denominated in Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure from changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar against the United States dollar.

 

The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its Canadian subsidiaries and Australian subsidiary into the United States dollar at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during each monthly period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as foreign currency translation gain (loss), which is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

The Company has not entered into any financial derivative instruments that expose it to material market risk, including any instruments designed to hedge the impact of foreign currency exposures. The Company may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the future.

 

Adjustments that arise from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in other comprehensive loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000 in the United States and Australia and $100,000 in Canada. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had greater than $250,000 at United States financial institutions, greater than $250,000 at Australian financial institutions, and less than $100,000 at Canadian financial institutions.

 

Research and Development

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses include, among other things, internal and external costs associated with preclinical development, pre-commercialization manufacturing expenses, and clinical trials. The Company accrues for costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of the trial or services provided and the invoices received from its external service providers. In the case of clinical trials, a portion of the estimated cost normally relates to the projected cost to treat a patient in the trials, and this cost is recognized based on the number of patients enrolled in the trial. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accruals accordingly.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company files U.S. federal and state returns. The Company’s foreign subsidiary also files a local tax return in their local jurisdiction. From a U.S. federal, state, and Canadian perspective, the years that remain open to examination are consistent with each jurisdiction’s statute of limitations. The Company receives no tax benefit from operating losses due to a full valuation allowance.

 

Research and Development Tax Incentive Receivable

Research and Development Tax Incentive Receivable

 

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia, participates in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that a percentage of the Company’s qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured. At each period end, management estimates the reimbursement available to the Company based on available information at the time.

Net Loss per Share

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). The computation of basic net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 excludes potentially dilutive securities. The computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted. In accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”), penny warrants were included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for the purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share.

 

Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
