NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF
BUSINESS
Company Background
Overview
Aditx Therapeutics, Inc. (“Aditxt” or
the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 28, 2017 and the Company’s headquarters are located
in Mountain View, CA. The Company is a biotech innovation company with a mission of prolonging life and enhancing its quality by improving
the health of the immune system.
The Company is developing biotechnologies specifically
focused on improving the health of the immune system through immune reprogramming and monitoring. The Company’s immune reprogramming
technologies are currently at the pre-clinical stage and are designed to retrain the immune system to induce tolerance with an objective
of addressing rejection of transplanted organs, autoimmune diseases, and allergies. The Company’s immune monitoring technologies
are designed to provide a personalized comprehensive profile of the immune system and the Company plans to utilize them in its upcoming
reprogramming clinical trials to monitor subjects’ immune response before, during and after drug administration.
Offerings
On July 2, 2020, the Company completed its initial
public offering (“IPO”). In connection therewith, the Company issued 1,226,668 Units (the “Units”), at an offering
price of $9.00 per Unit, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $11.0 million. The Units issued in the IPO consisted of one share
of common stock, one Series A warrant, and one Series B warrant. The Series A warrants originally had an exercise price of $9.00 and a
term of 5 years. In addition, the Company issued a Unit Purchase Option at an exercise price of $11.25 per unit to the underwriters to
purchase up to 67,466 units, with each unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock and (ii) one Series A warrant. On August 19, 2020,
the Company modified the exercise price of the Series A warrants from $9.00 per share to $4.50 per share. The term of the Series A warrants
was not modified. The Series B warrants have an exercise price of $11.25 per share, a term of 5 years and contain a cashless exercise
option upon certain criteria being met. As of March 31, 2021, substantially all of the Series B warrants issued in the IPO have been exercised
pursuant to a cashless provision therein.
On September 10, 2020, the Company completed a follow-on public offering
(“September 2020 Offering”). In connection therewith, the Company issued 2,400,000 Units (the “Follow-On Units”),
at an offering price of $4.00 per Follow-On Unit, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $9.6 million. The Follow-On Units issued
in the September 2020 Offering consisted of one share of common stock (or Series A Preferred Stock for investors who would own more than
4.99% of the Company if they invested in common stock), one Series A-1 warrant, and one Series B-1 warrant. The Series A-1 warrants have
an exercise price of $3.19 per share and a term of 5 years. The Series B-1 warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 per share, a term
of 5 years and contain a cashless exercise option upon certain criteria being met. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to the underwriters
to purchase up to 60,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Subsequent to quarter end, substantially all
of the Series B-1 warrants issued in the September 2020 Offering have been exercised pursuant to a cashless provision therein.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has a limited operating history and
has not generated revenue from intended operations. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and
economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond
the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include: changes in biotechnology regulatory
environment, technological advances that render our technologies obsolete, availability of resources for clinical trials, acceptance
of technologies into the medical community, and competition from larger, more well-funded companies. These adverse conditions could affect
the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.
6
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization
declared the COVID-19 novel coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020,
declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel,
and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The COVID-19 coronavirus and
actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of
many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While it is unknown how long these conditions will last
and what the financial impact will be to the Company, it is reasonably possible that future capital raising efforts and additional development
of our technologies may be negatively affected.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN ANALYSIS
Management Plans
The Company was incorporated on September 28,
2017 and has not generated revenues to date. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $6,379,667 and
cash of $14,045,036. The Company will be conducting medical research and development, and the time at which the Company will begin generating
revenue is unknown. These factors indicate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company
believes, however, that the funds raised by the IPO, the September 2020 Offering, and the offering, sale, and issuance by the Company
of a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “January 2021 Securities Purchase
Agreement”) will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operation for at least the next 12 months. Because of these factors,
the Company believes that this alleviates substantial doubt in connection with the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The financial statements included in this report
do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the matters discussed herein. While we believe in the viability of our strategy
to generate sufficient revenue, control costs, and raise additional funds when necessary, there can be no assurances to that effect.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to complete clinical studies and implement the
business plan, generate sufficient revenues and to control operating expenses.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)
for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the
opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring
adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.
Although management believes that the disclosures in these unaudited financial statements are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance
U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, which contain
the audited financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on
March 25, 2021. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the year ended December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.
7
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates underlying the financial statements include
the fair value of stock options and warrants.
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value
of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies
the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs
used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices
for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are
not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs which
reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability
based on the best available information.
The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities
that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.
Due to the short-term nature of all financial
assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet dates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash accounts at financial
institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At times, the Company may have deposits in excess of federally
insured limits.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term,
liquid investments.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Cost includes expenditures for furniture, office equipment, laboratory equipment, and other assets. Maintenance and repairs
are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. The costs of fixed assets are depreciated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease life of the related assets.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated
amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested periodically for impairment.
8
Offering Costs
The Company accounts for offering costs in accordance
with ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs were capitalized as deferred offering
costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs are netted against the proceeds of the offering in stockholders’ equity
(deficit) or the related debt, as applicable. Costs related to unsuccessful offerings are expensed.
Leases
Under Topic 842, adopted in 2020 with no impact
related to adoption, operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly over the term of the lease. The Company has operating leases
consisting of office space, laboratory space, and lab equipment.
Leases with an initial term of twelve months
or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. For lease agreements entered or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we combine
the lease and non-lease components in determining the lease liabilities and right of use (“ROU”) assets.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
costs under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation
expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock based compensation expense
recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant
date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled
during the periods reported. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and
over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services.
Patents
The Company incurs fees from patent licenses,
which are expensed as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the Company had a licensing fee for
the patents of $69,360 and $126,045, respectively.
Research and Development
We incur research and development costs during
the process of researching and developing our technologies and future offerings. We expense these costs as incurred unless such costs
qualify for capitalization under applicable guidance.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing
the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted loss per share is computed
by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable
through the common stock equivalents. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because
their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2021, 2,143,000 stock options and 5,463,715 warrants were excluded from dilutive
earnings per share as their effects were anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2020, 1,110,000 stock options and 1,382,475 warrants were excluded
from dilutive earnings per share as their effects were anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, or ASU 2019-12, which is
intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles
in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal
years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption
of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
9
In August 2020, the
FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing
the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature.
As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and will account for a convertible
debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models will reduce reported interest
expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that is within the scope of ASU 2020-06.
ASU 2020-06 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has elected to early adopt this ASU and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative
literature in ASC. There have been several ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes
that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to us or
(iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into
a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional accredited investor (the “Investor”) for the offering, sale, and issuance
of a $6,000,000 Senior Convertible Promissory Note (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note has a twenty-four-month
term and is convertible at the option of the Investor at any time prior to maturity in shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion
price of $4.00 per share. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued a warrant to the Investor to purchase
up to 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrant is immediately exercisable for a period of three (3) years at an
exercise price of $4.00 per share, subject to adjustment. An additional 75,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common
stock was also issued to the underwriters. These underwriter warrants are immediately exercisable for a period of five (5) years at an
exercise price of $4.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The Convertible Note has an original issuance discount of $1,000,000. The Company
also recognized an additional discount of $526,460 from the issuance costs of the debt, $1,322,840 from the fair value of the warrants
issued to the Investor, and $231,316 from the fair value of warrants issued to the underwriters. The total debt discount from these items
was $3,080,616 which will be amortized over the life of the Convertible Note. Repayment of the Convertible Note’s principal amount
will occur in nineteen monthly cash or common stock payments beginning in July 2021. The Convertible Note may be prepaid by the Company
at any time without penalty at 105% of the then outstanding principal amount due under the Convertible Note.

Convertible Note payable net of unamortized debt discount was $3,189,465. As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding debt discount was $2,810,535.
As of March 31, 2021 the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note payable
was comprised of a short-term principal of $2,842,105 with a debt discount of $1,533,019, resulting in a $1,309,086 short-term Convertible
Note payable net of debt discount. As of March 31, 2021 the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note payable was comprised of a long-term
principal of $3,157,895 with a debt discount of $1,277,516, resulting in a $1,880,379 long-term Convertible Note payable net of debt discount.
12
NOTE 9 – LEASES
Our lease agreements generally do not provide
an implicit borrowing rate; therefore, an internal incremental borrowing rate is determined based on information available at lease commencement
date for purposes of determining the present value of lease payments. We used the incremental borrowing rate on March 31, 2021 and December
31, 2020 for all leases that commenced prior to that date. In determining this rate, which is used to determine the present value of
future lease payments, we estimate the rate of interest we would pay on a collateralized basis, with similar payment terms as the lease
and in a similar economic environment.

Stock-Based Compensation
In October 2017, our Board of Directors adopted
the Aditx Therapeutics, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of equity
awards to employees, and consultants. The Company is authorized to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to

terminated earlier by the Board of Directors.
On February 24, 2021, our Board of Directors
adopted the Aditx Therapeutics, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan provides for grants
of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, and other
stock-based awards (collectively, the “Awards”). Eligible recipients of Awards include employees, directors or independent
contractors of the Company or any affiliate of the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”)
will administer the 2021 Plan. A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company may be issued
pursuant to Awards granted under the 2021 Plan. The exercise price per share for the shares to be issued pursuant to an exercise of a
stock option will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2021 Plan) of a share of Common
Stock on the date of grant. The 2021 Plan will be submitted to the stockholders of the Company at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting
of stockholders, to be held on May 19, 2021, for their approval and adoption, and a proposal regarding approval of the 2021 Plan has
been included in the Company’s proxy statement for that annual meeting.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021,
the Company granted no new options.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020,
the Company granted 7,500 stock options to related parties with an exercise price of $11.00 per share, which vested on issuance. The

Warrants
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the
fair value of each warrant granted was estimated using the assumption ranges and/or factors in the Black-Scholes Model as follows:
Exercise
price
$

%
Risk free
interest rate
0.17%-0.42
%
Expected
life in years
3.00-5.00
Expected
volatility
154%-159
%
The risk-free interest rate assumption for warrants
granted is based upon observed interest rates on the United States Government Bond Equivalent Yield appropriate for the expected term
of warrants.
The Company determined the expected volatility
assumption for warrants granted using the historical volatility of comparable public companies’ common stock. The Company will
continue to monitor peer companies and other relevant factors used to measure expected volatility for future warrant grants, until such
time that the Company’s common stock has enough market history to use historical volatility.
The dividend yield assumption for warrants granted
is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never declared nor paid any cash dividends
on its common stock, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The Company recognizes warrant forfeitures as
they occur as there is insufficient historical data to accurately determine future forfeitures rates.

On January 25, 2021, pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement the Company issued a warrant to the Investor to purchase up to 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The warrant is immediately exercisable for a period of three years at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, subject to adjustment. In
addition, the Company issued 75,000 warrants to the underwriters related to the Securities Purchase Agreement. These warrants have an
exercise price of $4.00 and a term of five years. All the 75,000 warrants are exercisable on issuance. (See Note 8)
NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES
The Company has incurred losses since inception.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not provide any provision for income taxes as the Company incurred losses
during such period. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting
for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating
loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that
will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company has considered
both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets using a “more likely than not”
standard. In making such assessment, more weight was given to evidence that could be objectively verified, including recent cumulative
losses. Based on the Company’s review of this evidence, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred
tax assets as of March 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company did not have
any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.
NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On May 4, 2021, the Company entered a triple
net lease (the “Lease”) for approximately 25,000 square feet of laboratory and office space in Richmond, Virginia. The Lease
has a term of sixty-three months. The monthly base rent is approximately $53,000, plus applicable pro-rata common area charges, taxes,
and maintenance. The lease contains a base rent escalation clause of 3% per lease calendar year as well as a tenant improvement allowance
of $375,000 in aggregate. The Company anticipates moving into the space during Q2 2021.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and
analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the unaudited financial statements and related
notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended
December 31, 2020 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. In addition to
historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.
Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors. We
discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
including those factors set forth in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Industry Data”
and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A.
Overview
We are a biotech
innovation company with a mission of prolonging life and enhancing its quality by improving the health of the immune system. We are
developing biotechnologies specifically focused on improving the health of the immune system through immune reprogramming and
monitoring. Our immune reprogramming technologies are currently at the pre-clinical stage and are designed to retrain the immune
system to induce tolerance with an objective of addressing rejection of transplanted organs, autoimmune diseases, and allergies. Our
immune monitoring technologies are designed to provide a personalized comprehensive profile of the immune system and we plan to
utilize them in our upcoming reprogramming clinical trials to monitor subjects’ immune response before, during and after drug
administration.
Immune Reprogramming
The discovery of immunosuppressive
(anti-rejection and monoclonal) drugs over 40 years ago has made possible life-saving organ transplantation procedures and blocking of
unwanted immune responses in autoimmune diseases. However, immune suppression leads to significant undesirable side effects, such as
increased susceptibility to life-threatening infections and cancers, because it indiscriminately and broadly suppresses immune function
throughout the body. While the use of these drugs has been justifiable because they prevent or delay organ rejection, their use for treatment
of autoimmune diseases and allergies may not be acceptable because of the aforementioned side effects. Furthermore, transplanted organs
often ultimately fail despite the use of immune suppression, and about 40% of transplanted organs survive no more than 5 years.
New, focused therapeutic
approaches are needed that modulate only the small portion of immune cells that are involved in rejection of the transplanted organ,
as this approach can be safer for patients than indiscriminate immune suppression. Such approaches are referred to as immune tolerance,
and when therapeutically induced, may be safer for patients and potentially allow long-term survival of transplanted tissues and organs.
In the late 1990s, academic
research on these approaches was conducted at the Transplant Center in Loma Linda University (“LLU”) in connection with a
project that secured initial grant funding from the U.S. Department of Defense. The focus of that project was for skin grafting for burn
victims. Twenty years of research at LLU and an affiliated incubator led to a series of discoveries that have been translated into a
large patent portfolio of therapeutic approaches that may be applied to the modulation of the immune system to induce tolerance to self
and transplanted organs.
We have an exclusive worldwide
license for commercializing this nucleic acid-based technology (which is currently at the pre-clinical stage), named Apoptotic DNA Immunotherapy™
(ADi™) from LLU, which utilizes a novel approach that mimics the way the body naturally induces tolerance to our own tissues (“therapeutically
induced immune tolerance”). While immune suppression requires continuous administration to prevent rejection of a transplanted
organ, induction of tolerance has the potential to retrain the immune system to accept the organ for longer periods of time. Thus, ADi™
may allow patients to live with transplanted organs with significantly reduced immune suppression. ADi™ is a technology platform
which we believe can be engineered to address a wide variety of indications.
17
We are developing ADi™
products for organ transplantation including skin grafting, autoimmune diseases, and allergies, with the initial focus on skin allografts
and psoriasis, as we believe these indications will be most efficient in providing safety and efficacy data in clinical trials. To submit
a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for a biopharmaceutical product, clinical safety and efficacy must be demonstrated
in a series of clinical studies conducted with human subjects. For products in our class of drugs, the first-in-human trials will be
a combination of Phase I (safety/tolerability) and Phase II (efficacy) in affected subjects. To obtain approval to initiate the Phase
I/IIa studies, an Investigational New Drug Application will be submitted to compile non-clinical efficacy data as well as manufacturing
and pre-clinical safety/toxicology data. To date, we have conducted non-clinical studies in a stringent model of skin transplantation
using genetically mismatched donor and recipient animals demonstrating a 3-fold increase in the survival of the skin graft in animals
that were tolerized with ADi™ compared to animals that receive immune suppression alone. Prolongation of graft life was observed
despite discontinuation of immune suppression after the first 5 weeks. Additionally, in an induced non-clinical model for psoriasis,
ADi™ treatment resulted in a 69% reduction in skin thickness and a 38% decrease in skin flaking (two clinical parameters for assessment
of psoriasis skin lesions). The Phase I/IIa studies in psoriasis will evaluate the safety/tolerability of ADi™ in patients diagnosed
with psoriasis. Since the drug will be administered in subjects diagnosed with psoriasis, effectiveness of the drug to improve psoriatic
lesions will also be evaluated. In another Phase I/IIa study, patients requiring skin allografts will receive weekly intra-dermal injections
of ADi™ in combination with standard immune suppression to assess safety/tolerability and possibility of reducing levels of immunosuppressive
drugs as well as prolongation of graft life. Later phase trials are planned after successful completion of these studies in preparation
for submission for a BLA to regulatory agencies.
Immune Monitoring
We believe that understanding
the status of an individual’s immune system is key to developing and administering immunotherapies such as ADi™. We have
secured an exclusive worldwide license for commercializing a technology platform which provides a personalized comprehensive profile
of the immune system. It is intended to be informative for individual immune responses to viruses, bacterial antigens, peptides, drugs,
bone marrow and solid organ transplants, and cancer. It has broad applicability to many other agents of clinical interest impacting the
immune system, including those not yet identified such as future infectious agents. We plan to brand this technology, and other future
licensed and/or in-house developed monitoring technologies collectively as AditxtScore™.
AditxtScore™ is being
designed to allow individuals to understand, manage and monitor their immune profiles in order to be informed about attacks on or by
their immune system. We believe AditxtScore™ can also assist the medical community in anticipating possible immune responses and
reactions to viruses, bacteria, allergens, and transplanted organs. It can be useful in anticipating attacks on the body by having the
ability to determine its potential response and for developing a plan to deal with an undesirable reaction by the immune system. Its
advantages include the ability to provide a simple, rapid, accurate, high throughput, single platform assay that can be multiplexed to
determine the immune status with respect to several factors simultaneously, in 3-16 hours, as well as detect antigen and antibody in
a single test (i.e., infectious, recovered, immune). In addition, it can determine and differentiate between various types of cellular
and humoral immune responses (T and B cells). It also provides for simultaneous monitoring of cell activation and levels of cytokine
release (i.e., cytokine storms).
We plan to utilize AditxtScore™
in our upcoming clinical trials to monitor subjects’ immune response before, during, and after ADi™ drug administration.
We are working with regulatory consultants with the objective to obtain FDA approval for AditxtScore™ as a clinical assay. We are
currently securing marketing and distribution partnerships for application of AditxtScore™ in the infectious diseases market. To
obtain FDA approval to use AditxtScore™ as a clinical assay, we are performing validation studies to demonstrate AditxtScore™’s
utility to evaluate various components of the immune system reproducibly. We believe that this data will show AditxtScore™’s
ability to measure various components of the immune system (e.g., humoral and cell-mediated immune responses) to provide a broader view
of the immune system and its status in health and disease. Our plan is to submit a 510(K) application to the FDA after compilation of
these data. Beyond infectious diseases, we plan to develop AditxtScore™ for applications in additional markets such as organ rejection,
allergies, drug/vaccine response, and disease susceptibility.

License Agreement with Loma Linda University
On March 8, 2018, we entered
into an Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Sekris Biomedical, Inc. (“Sekris”). Sekris was
a party to a license agreement with LLU, entered and made effective on May 25, 2011, and amended on June 24, 2011, July 16, 2012 and
December 27, 2012 (the “Original Agreement,” and together with the Assignment Agreement, the “Sekris Agreements”).
Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, Sekris transferred and assigned all its rights and obligations and liabilities under the Original
Agreement, of whatever kind or nature, to us. In exchange, on March 8, 2018, we issued a warrant to Sekris to purchase up to 500,000
shares of our common stock (the “Sekris Warrant”). The warrant was immediately exercisable and has an exercise price of $4.00
per share. The expiration date of the warrant is March 8, 2023. On March 15, 2018, as amended on July 1, 2020, we entered into a LLU
License Agreement directly with Loma Linda University, which amends and restates the Sekris Agreements.
Pursuant to the LLU License
Agreement, we obtained the exclusive royalty-bearing worldwide license in and to all intellectual property, including patents, technical
information, trade secrets, proprietary rights, technology, know-how, data, formulas, drawings, and specifications, owned or controlled
by LLU and/or any of its affiliates (the “LLU Patent and Technology Rights”) and related to therapy for immune-mediated inflammatory
diseases (the ADi™ technology). In consideration for the LLU License Agreement, we issued 25,000 shares of common stock to LLU.
Pursuant to the LLU License
Agreement, we are required to pay an annual license fee to LLU. Also, we paid LLU $455,000 in July 2020 for outstanding milestone payments
and license fees. We are also required to pay to LLU milestone payments in connection with certain development milestones. Specifically,
we are required to make the following milestone payments: $175,000 on March 31, 2022; $100,000 on March 31, 2024; $500,000 on March 31,
2026; and $500,000 on March 31, 2027. Additionally, as consideration for prior expenses incurred by LLU to prosecute, maintain and defend
the LLU Patent and Technology Rights, we made the following payments to LLU: $70,000 due at the end of December 2018, and a final payment
of $60,000 due at the end of March 2019. We are required to defend the LLU Patent and Technology Rights during the term of the LLU License
Agreement. Additionally, we will owe royalty payments of (i) 1.5% of Net Product Sales and Net Service Sales on any Licensed Products
(defined as any finished pharmaceutical products which utilizes the LLU Patent and Technology Rights in its development, manufacture
or supply), and (ii) 0.75% of Net Product Sales and Net Service Sales for Licensed Products and Licensed Services not covered by a valid
patent claim for technology rights and know-how for a three (3) year period beyond the expiration of all valid patent claims. We also
are required to produce a written progress report to LLU, discussing our development and commercialization efforts, within 45 days following
the end of each year. All intellectual property rights in and to LLU Patent and Technology Rights shall remain with LLU (other than improvements
developed by or on our behalf).
The LLU License Agreement
shall terminate on the last day that a patent granted to us by LLU is valid and enforceable or the day that the last patent application
licensed to us is abandoned. The LLU License Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement or by us upon 90 days written notice to
LLU. LLU may terminate the LLU License Agreement in the event of (i) non-payments or late payments of royalty, milestone and license
maintenance fees not cured within 90 days after delivery of written notice by LLU, (ii) a breach of any non-payment provision (including
the provision that requires us to meet certain deadlines for milestone events (each, a “Milestone Deadline”)) not cured within
90 days after delivery of written notice by LLU and (iii) LLU delivers notice to us of three or more actual breaches of the LLU License
Agreement by us in any 12-month period. Additional Milestone Deadlines include: (i) the requirement to have regulatory approval of an
IND application to initiate first-in-human clinical trials on or before March 31, 2022, (ii) the completion of first-in-human (phase
I/II) clinical trials by March 31, 2024, (iii) the completion of Phase III clinical trials by March 31, 2026 and (iv) biologic licensing
approval by the FDA by March 31, 2027.
License Agreement with Leland Stanford Junior
University (“Stanford”)
On February 3, 2020, we entered
into an exclusive license agreement (the “February 2020 License Agreement”) with Stanford regarding a patent concerning a
method for detection and measurement of specific cellular responses. Pursuant to the February 2020 License Agreement, we received an
exclusive worldwide license to Stanford’s patent regarding use, import, offer, and sale of Licensed Products (as defined in the
agreement). The license to the patented technology is exclusive, including the right to sublicense, beginning on the effective date of
the agreement, and ending when the patent expires. Under the exclusivity agreement, we acknowledged that Stanford had already granted
a non-exclusive license in the Nonexclusive Field of Use, under the Licensed Patents in the Licensed Field of Use in the Licensed Territory
(as those terms are defined in the February 2020 License Agreement”). However, Stanford agreed to not grant further licenses under
the Licensed Patents in the Licensed Field of Use in the Licensed Territory.
19
We were obligated to pay
and paid a fee of $25,000 to Stanford within 60 days of February 3, 2020. We also issued 18,750 shares of the Company’s common
stock to Stanford. An annual licensing maintenance fee is payable by us on the first anniversary of the February 2020 License Agreement
in the amount of $40,000 for 2021 through 2024 and $60,000 starting in 2025 until the license expires upon the expiration of the patent.
The Company is required to pay and has paid $25,000 for the issuances of certain patents. The Company will pay milestone fees of $50,000
on the first commercial sales of a licensed product and $25,000 at the beginning of any clinical study for regulatory clearance of an
in vitro diagnostic product developed and a potential licensed product. We are also required to: (i) provide a listing of the management
team or a schedule for the recruitment of key management positions by March 31, 2020 (which has been completed), (ii) provide a business
plan covering projected product development, markets and sales forecasts, manufacturing and operations, and financial forecasts until
at least $10,000,000 in revenue by June 30, 2020 (which has been completed), conduct validation studies by September 30, 2020 (which
has been completed), (iv) hold a pre-submission meeting with the FDA by September 30, 2020 (which has been completed), (v) submit a 510(k)
application to the FDA, Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”), or a Laboratory Developed Test (“LDT”) by March
31, 2021, (vi) obtain FDA approval by December 31, 2021, (vii) complete a prototype assay kit by December 31, 2021, and (viii) have a
written agreement with Stanford on further development and commercialization milestones for specific fields of use by December 31, 2021.
In addition to the annual
license maintenance fees outlined above, we will pay Stanford royalties on Net Sales (as such term is defined in the February 2020 License
Agreement) during the of the term of the agreement as follows: 4% when Net Sales are below or equal to $5 million annually or 6% when
Net Sales are above $5 million annually. The February 2020 License Agreement may be terminated upon our election on at least 30 days
advance notice to Stanford, or by Stanford if we: (i) are delinquent on any report or payment; (ii) are not diligently developing and
commercializing Licensed Product; (iii) miss certain performance milestones; (iv) are in breach of any provision of the February 2020
License Agreement; or (v) provide any false report to Stanford. Should any events in the preceding sentence occur, we have a thirty (30)
day cure period to remedy such violation.
Our Team
We have assembled a team
of experts from a variety of scientific fields and commercial backgrounds, with many years of collective experience that ranges from
founding startup biotech companies, to developing and marketing biopharmaceutical products, to designing clinical trials, and to management
of private and public companies.
Going Concern
We were incorporated on September
28, 2017 and have not generated revenues to date. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 we had a net loss of $6,379,667 and cash
of $14,045,036. The Company will require significant additional capital to operate in the normal course of business and fund clinical
studies in the long-term. As a result of the IPO, the September 2020 Offering and the January 2021 Securities Purchase Agreement, we
received net proceeds of approximately $23,000,000 during the period. We believe that the funds raised will be sufficient to fund our
operations for at least the next 12 months. As a result, these conditions have alleviated the doubt regarding our ability to continue
as a going concern beyond one year.
Financial Results
We have a limited operating
history. Therefore, there is limited historical financial information upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects
must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early
stages of operations. Our financial statements as of March 31, 2021, show a net loss of $6,379,667. We expect to incur additional net
expenses over the next several years as we continue to maintain and expand our existing operations. The amount of future losses and when,
if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain.
20
Results of Operations
Results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2021 and 2020
During the three months ended
March 31, 2021, we incurred a loss from operations of $6,093,032. This is due to general and administrative expenses of $5,098,517, which
includes $1,464,902 in stock-based compensation, research and development of $935,952, and sales and marketing expenses of $58,563. The
$935,952 in research and development is comprised of $69,360 in licensing fees, $505,564 in product development, and $361,028 in other
research and development expense.
During the three months ended
March 31, 2020, we incurred a loss from operations of $1,056,798. This is due to general and administrative expenses of $856,427, which
includes $529,437 in stock-based compensation, research and development of $200,371, and sales and marketing expenses of zero. The $200,371
in research and development is comprised of $126,045 in licensing fees, $13,500 in product development, and $60,826 in other research
and development expense.
The increase in expenses
during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 was due to the Company beginning to execute
its business plan and incur costs of being a public company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred substantial
operating losses since inception and expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never
become profitable. As of March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $27,258,845. We had working capital of $11,404,193 as of March
31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we purchased $1,308,312 in fixed assets, for which we made cash payments of $486,450
and financed $821,862. These fixed assets were purchased to furnish our new office and laboratory. Approximately $1,258,000 of these
purchased fixed assets were lab equipment and approximately $50,000 was for computers.
Our financial statements
have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.
We have funded our operations
from proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities. On July 2, 2020, we completed our IPO and raised approximately $9.5 million
in net proceeds. At the time of the IPO, we believed that these funds would be sufficient to fund our operations for the foreseeable
future.
On September 10, 2020, we
completed a follow-on public offering. In connection therewith, we issued 2,400,000 units, or Follow-On Units, excluding the underwriters’
option to cover overallotments, at an offering price of $4.00 per Follow-On Unit, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $9.6 million.
On January 25, 2021, the
Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the sale of a $6,000,000 Convertible Note. The Convertible Note has a term of
24 months, converts at a price of $4.00 per share, and has an original issuance discount of $1,000,000.
We may need to raise significant
additional capital to continue to fund our operations and the clinical trials for our product candidates. We may seek to sell common
stock, preferred stock or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding or seek other
debt financing. In addition, we may seek to raise cash through collaborative agreements or from government grants. The sale of equity
and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders and certain of those securities may have rights senior to
those of our common shares. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities, or other
debt financing, these securities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any other third-party funding
arrangement could require us to relinquish valuable rights.
The source, timing, and availability
of any future financing will depend principally upon market conditions, and, more specifically, on the progress of our clinical development
program. Funding may not be available when needed, at all, or on terms acceptable to us. Lack of necessary funds may require us to, among
other things, delay, scale back or eliminate expenses including some or all our planned development, including our clinical trials. While
we may need to raise funds in the future, we believe the current cash reserves should be sufficient to fund our operation for the foreseeable
future. Because of these factors, we believe that this alleviates the issues about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates
Our financial statements
are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements
and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities,
revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We believe that our critical accounting policies described under the heading “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Prospectus, dated
September 1, 2020, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b), are critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition
and results of operations. The following involve the most judgment and complexity:
● Research
and development
● Stock-based
compensation expense
● Fair
value of common stock
Accordingly, we believe the
policies set forth above are critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. If actual
results or events differ materially from the estimates, judgments and assumptions used by us in applying these policies, our reported
financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the
periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the
JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the
extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards
would otherwise apply to private companies.
When favorable, we have chosen
to take advantage of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act for complying with new
or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies provided under the JOBS Act.
22
We are in the process of
evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject
to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions,
including without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial
reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (ii) complying with any requirement that may be adopted
by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the
auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion
and analysis. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year
in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth
anniversary of the date of the completion of our IPO (December 31, 2025); (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion
in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer
under the rules of the SEC.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may
become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject
to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, financial condition,
results of operations, and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those set
forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC, the occurrence of any one of which could have
a material adverse effect on our actual results. There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
and Use of Proceeds
(a) Sales of Unregistered Securities
On January 1, 2021, the Company
issued a consultant 6,000 shares of common stock for services rendered.
On March 1, 2021, the Company
issued a consultant 12,000 shares of common stock for services rendered.
The issuances above were
made pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
(b) Use of Proceeds
On July 2, 2020, the Company
completed its initial public offering (“IPO”). In connection therewith, the Company issued 1,226,668 Units (the “Units”),
excluding the underwriters’ option to cover overallotments (the underwriter did not exercise their overallotment), at an offering
price of $9.00 per Unit, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $11.0 million. The Units issued in the IPO consisted of one share
of common stock, one Series A warrant, and one Series B warrant. The Series A warrants originally had an exercise price of $9.00 and
a term of 5 years. In addition, the Company issued a Unit Purchase Option at an exercise price of $11.25 per unit to the underwriters
to purchase up to 67,466 units, with each unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock and (ii) one Series A Warrant. On August 19,
2020, the Company modified the exercise price of the Series A Warrants from $9.00 per share to $4.50 per share. The term of the Series
A Warrants was not modified. The Series B warrants have an exercise price of $11.25 per share, a term of 5 years and contain a cashless
exercise option upon certain criteria being met. As of September 30, 2020, substantially all of the Series B warrants issued in the IPO
have been exercised pursuant to a cashless provision therein.
We received net proceeds
of $9.5 million in the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and issuance expenses borne by us. No payments were
made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates,
other than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries and to non-employee directors pursuant to our director
compensation policy. Dawson James Securities, Inc. acted as lead book-running manager of the offering and as representative of the underwriters for
the offering.
There has been no material
change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO from that described in the final prospectus related to the offering, dated June 29,
2020 as filed with the SEC.
