TNF
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes
to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note
1 – Organization and Description of Business
TNF
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a Delaware corporation (“TNF” or the “Company”) that was incorporated in New Jersey
prior to the Reincorporation (as defined below). On July 22, 2024, the Company changed its name from MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to
TNF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. by filing a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of
Delaware. In addition, effective before the open of market trading on July 24, 2024, the Company’s common stock, par value
$ 0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) ceased trading under the ticker symbol “MYMD” and began trading on the
Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “TNFA.”
These
condensed consolidated financial statements include two wholly owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2024, Akers Acquisition Sub, Inc.
and Bout Time Marketing Corporation (together, the “Company”). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
MYMD-1
is an oral, next-generation TNF-α inhibitor with the potential to transform the way TNF-α based diseases are treated due
to its selectivity and ability to cross the blood brain barrier . Its ease of oral dosing is a significant
differentiator compared to currently available TNF-α inhibitors, all of which require delivery by injection or infusion. MYMD-1
has also been shown to selectively block TNF-α action where it is overactivated without preventing it from doing its normal job
of responding to routine infection. MYMD-1 is doubly effective at inhibiting inflammation by blocking both TNF-a and IL-6 activity, whereas
currently approved anti-TNF and anti-IL-6 treatments for rheumatoid arthritis can only target one or the other. In addition, in early
clinical studies it has not been associated with serious side effects known to occur with traditional immunosuppressive therapies that
treat inflammation.
At
the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on July 31, 2023, the stockholders approved a plan to merge the Company with
and into a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary, MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MyMD Delaware”),
with MyMD Delaware being the surviving corporation, for the purpose of changing the Company’s state of incorporation from New
Jersey to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). The Reincorporation was effected as of March 4, 2024. In connection with the
Reincorporation to Delaware, the par value of the Company’s Common Stock and preferred stock was changed to $ 0.001
per share.
MyMD
Delaware is deemed to be the successor issuer of MyMD New Jersey under Rule 12g-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The
Reincorporation did not result in any change in the Company’s name, business, management, fiscal year, accounting, location of
the principal executive offices, assets or liabilities. In addition, the Company’s Common Stock retained the same CUSIP number
and continued to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MYMD.” Holders of shares of the Company’s
Common Stock did not have to exchange their existing MyMD New Jersey stock certificates for MyMD Delaware stock
certificates.
As
of the Effective Date of the Reincorporation, the rights of the Company’s stockholders are governed by the Delaware General Corporation
Law, the MyMD Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of MyMD Delaware.
On
February 14, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Simultaneously with the
Reverse Stock Split, number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock authorized for issuance was reduced from 500,000,000 shares
to 16,666,666 shares, and our authorized capital stock was reduced from 550,000,000 shares to 66,666,666 shares. The Reverse Stock Split
reduced the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares held by the Company as treasury shares. All
share amounts have been retroactively adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, unless stated otherwise.
On
July 25, 2024, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock from 16,666,666 to 250,000,000
and made a corresponding change to the number of authorized shares of the Company’s capital stock by filing a Certificate of Amendment
to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Share Increase”). The Share
Increase was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on July 24, 2024.
Recent
Events
The
February 2023 Offering
On
February 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Series F Purchase Agreement”) with
certain accredited investors (the “Series F Investors”), pursuant to which it agreed to sell to the Investors (i) an
aggregate of 15,000
shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series F convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $ 1,000
per share, initially convertible into up to 6,651,885
shares (pre-split) of the Company’s Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $ 2.255
per share (pre-split), subject to adjustment (the “Series F Preferred Shares”), and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an
aggregate of 6,651,885
shares (pre-split) of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to adjustment (the “Series F Warrants”) (collectively,
the “February 2023 Offering”). Following the Reverse Stock Split, (i) the conversion price of the Series F Preferred
Shares was adjusted to $ 3.18
per share pursuant to the terms of the Series F Certificate of Designations (as defined below), and (ii) the exercise price of the
Series F Warrants was adjusted to $ 3.18
per share and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series F Warrants was adjusted proportionately to 4,716,904
shares pursuant to the terms of the Series F Warrants.
In
connection with the Private Placements (as defined herein), (i) the conversion price of the Series F Preferred Shares was adjusted to
$ 1.816 per share pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Series F Certificate of Designations and, (ii)
the exercise price of the Series F Warrants was adjusted to $ 1.816 per share and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Series F warrants was adjusted proportionally to 8,259,911 shares pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained
in the Series F Warrants.
7
Series
F Convertible Preferred Stock
The
Series F Preferred Shares became convertible upon issuance into Common Stock (the “Series F Conversion Shares”) at the election
of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $ 2.255 (pre-split) (as adjusted, the “Series F Conversion Price”).
The Series F Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like,
and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable
for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Series F Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). Following the Reverse
Stock Split, the Series F Conversion Price was adjusted to $ 3.18 per share pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of
Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, which was subsequently amended and restated by the filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate
of Designations of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, effective April 8, 2024 (as amended and restated, the “Series F Certificate
of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Series F Conversion Price was further adjusted to $ 1.816
per share pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilutive provisions contained in the Series F Certificate of Designations in connection with
the Private Placements (as defined herein).
Prior
to the Series F Certificate of Amendment (as defined below), the Company was initially required to redeem the Series F Preferred Shares
in 12 equal monthly installments, commencing on July 1, 2023. The amortization payments due upon such redemption are payable, at the
Company’s election, in cash, or subject to certain limitations, in shares of Common Stock valued at the lower of (i) the Series
F Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (A) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Company’s
Series F Common Stock during the thirty trading day period immediately prior to the date the amortization payment is due or (B) a “Floor
Price” of $6.60 on a post-split basis (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations
or other similar events) or, in any case, such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Stock Market.
On
April 5, 2024, the Company entered into an Omnibus Waiver and Amendment (the “Omnibus Agreement”) with the Required Holders
(as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designations). Pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, the Required Holders agreed (i) to defer
payment of the monthly installment amounts due on March 1, 2024, and April 1, 2024 (the “Installments”), under Section 9(a)
of the Series F Certificate of Designations, until May 1, 2024, and (ii) to waive any breach or violation of the Series F Purchase Agreement,
the Series F Certificate of Designations, or the Series F Warrants resulting from missing the Installments. The Company may require holders
to convert their Series F Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock if the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds $ 6.765 per share
(as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations
or other similar events) for 20 consecutive trading days and the daily dollar trading volume of the Common Stock exceeds $ 3,000,000 per
day during the same period and certain equity conditions described in the Series F Certificate of Designations are satisfied.
On
May 20, 2024, the Company entered into an Omnibus Waiver, Consent, Notice and Amendment (the “Series F Agreement”) with the
Required Holders (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designations). Pursuant to the Series F Agreement, the Required Holders agreed
to (i) amend the Series F Purchase Agreement to amend certain terms relating to purchase rights thereunder, (ii) waive certain rights
under the Series F Purchase Agreement and Series F Certificate of Designations in respect of the issuance of the Company’s Series
F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value of $ 0.001 per share and a stated value of $ 1,000 per share (“Series F-1 Preferred
Stock”), the Company’s Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value of $ 0.001 per share and a stated value of $ 1,000
per share (“Series G Preferred Stock”), and entrance by the Company into the Purchase Agreements (as defined herein), (iii)
waive the requirement that the Company reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock as required by the Series F
Certificate of Designations, the Series F Purchase Agreement and Series F Warrants, until such time as the Company obtains the Stockholder
Approval (as defined herein), and (iv) consent to the issuance of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock as required
pursuant to certain terms of the Series F Certificate of Designations, the Series F Purchase Agreement and the Series F Warrants, as
applicable. The Company and the Required Holders further agreed pursuant to the Series F Agreement, to amend the Series F Certificate
of Designations by filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Series F Certificate of Designations (the “Series F Certificate of
Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Series F Certificate of Amendment amends the Series F Certificate
of Designations to (i) extend the maturity date to December 31, 2024, (ii) permit and modify certain procedures related to the payment
of installment amounts with respect to the Installment Dates (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designations) falling between
(and including) July 1, 2024, and (and including) August 1, 2024, thereunder, and (iii) modify the schedule of Installment Dates.
8
The
holders of the Series F Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of 10 %
per annum, compounded monthly, which is payable in cash or shares of Common Stock at the Company’s option, in accordance with
the terms of the Series F Certificate of Designations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as
defined in the Series F Certificate of Designations), the Series F Preferred Shares accrue dividends at the rate of 15 %
per annum. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares are also entitled to receive a dividend
make-whole payment. Except as required by applicable law, the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares are entitled to vote with
holders of the Common Stock on as as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Series F Preferred Shares is
entitled to be calculated assuming a conversion price of $ 60.21
per share, which was the Minimum Price (as defined in Rule 5635 of the Rule of the Nasdaq Stock Market) applicable immediately
before the execution and delivery of the Series F Purchase Agreement, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations as set
forth in the Series F Certificate of Designations. The Series F Certificate of Designations further provides that the holders of
record of the Series F Preferred Shares, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one director of the Company
one time on or before June 30, 2024. Effective as of April 8, 2024, the Company appointed Dr. Mitchell Glass to serve as a member of
the Company’s board of directors, with Mr. Glass having been elected to such position by the holders of the Series F Preferred
Shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded dividends totaling $ 393,937
and $ 391,548 , respectively, which are
reported as Series F Preferred Stock Dividends on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded dividends totaling $ 1,375,889
and $ 923,677 , respectively, which are
reported as Preferred Stock Dividends on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company’s ability to settle conversions and make amortization and dividend make-whole payments using shares
of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series F Certificate of Designations. Further, the Series F Certificate
of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of, or as part of any amortization payment or dividend make-whole payment under, the Series F Certificate of Designations
or Series F Warrants.
The
Series F Preferred Shares are classified in temporary equity as the holder of the Series F Preferred Stock has the right to require the
Company to redeem for cash all or any portion of such holder’s shares upon the suspension from trading or the failure of the Common
Stock to be trading or listed (as applicable) on an eligible market for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days. The Series F Preferred
Stock is not unconditionally redeemable and is only conditionally puttable at the holder’s option upon this trading suspension
or failure. This would not be considered to be within the Company’s control.
The
Series F Preferred Shares were determined to be more akin to a debt-like host than an equity-like host. The Company identified the following
embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) make-whole interest upon a contingent redemption
event, 2) make-whole interest upon a conversion event, 3) an installment redemption upon an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in
the Series F Certificate of Designations), and 4) variable share-settled installment conversion. These features were bundled together,
assigned probabilities of being affected and measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value of these features are recognized
in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Company estimated at issuance the $ 3,149,800 fair value of the bifurcated
embedded derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs; the fair value of our Common Stock of $ 1.90 on the
issuance date, estimated equity volatility of 120.0 %, estimated traded volume volatility of 190.0 %, the time to maturity of 1.35 years,
a discounted market interest rate of 6.8 %, dividend rate of 10.0 %, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0 %, and probability of default of 0.5 %.
The fair value of the bifurcated derivative liabilities was estimated utilizing the with and without method which uses the probability
weighted difference between the scenarios with the derivative and the plain vanilla maturity scenario without a derivative.
The
discount to the fair value is included as a reduction to the carrying value of the Series F Preferred Shares. The Company recorded a
total discount of $ 14,087,111 upon issuance of the Series F Preferred Shares, which was comprised of the issuance date fair value of
the associated embedded derivative of $ 3,149,800 , stock issuance costs of $ 314,311 and the fair value of the Series F Warrants of $ 10,623,000 .
9
During
the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $ 0
and a gain of $ 2,566,900 ,
respectively, related to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities, which is recorded in other income (expense) on the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company
recorded a gain of $ 61,000
and $ 2,251,700 ,
respectively, related to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities, which is recorded in other income (expense) on the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Company estimated the $ 0
fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative at September 30, 2024 using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following
inputs; the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock of $ 1.62
on the valuation date, estimated equity volatility of 80.0 %,
estimated traded volume volatility of 330.0 %,
the time to maturity of 0.25
years, a discounted market interest rate of 12.5 %,
dividend rate of 10.0 %,
a penalty dividend rate of 15.0 %,
and probability of default of 7.4 %.
Series
F Common Stock Warrants
Pursuant
to the February 2023 Offering, the Company issued to investors the Series F Warrants to purchase 4,716,904 shares of Common Stock, with
an initial exercise price of $ 3.18 per share (subject to adjustment), which was adjusted to $ 1.816 per share and the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series F warrants was adjusted proportionally to 8,259,911 shares pursuant to the full
ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Series F Warrants in connection with the Private Placements (as defined herein)(the
“Series F Exercise Price”), for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The Series F Exercise Price and the number
of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F Warrants are subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications
and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock,
or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Exercise Price (subject
to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment to the exercise price, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the
Series F Warrants will be increased proportionately.
The
Series F Warrants were determined to be within the scope of ASC 480-10 as they are puttable to the Company at Holders’ election
upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the agreements). As such, the Company recorded the Series F Warrants
as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company utilized the Black Scholes Model
to calculate the value of these warrants. The fair value of the Series F Warrants of $ 10,623,000 was estimated at the date of issuance
using the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield 0 %; term of 5.0 years; equity volatility of 125.0 %; and a risk-free
interest rate of 4.09 %.
Transaction
costs incurred attributable to the issuance of the Series F Warrants of $ 762,834 were immediately expensed in accordance with ASC 480.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded no gain or loss on the change in fair value due to the reclassification of Series F Warrant liabilities to equity
on March 31, 2024 (see below). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a loss of $ 7,094,000 related to
the change in fair value of the Series F Warrant liabilities through the March 31, 2024 reclassification of Series F Warrant liabilities
to equity, which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The fair value
of the Series F Warrants of $ 7,961,000 was estimated at March 31, 2024 utilizing the Black Scholes Model using the following weighted
average assumptions: dividend yield 0 %; remaining term of 3.90 years; equity volatility of 110.0 %; and a risk-free interest rate of 4.31 %.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $ 0 related to the change in fair value of the Series
F Warrant liabilities, which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $ 8,166,000 related to the change in fair value of the Series
F Warrant liabilities, which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
10
On
May 14, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment (the “Series F Warrant Amendment”) with the Series F Investors in the
February 2023 Offering, effective as of March 31, 2024. The Series F Warrant Amendment modified certain terms of the Series F Warrants
relating to the rights of the holders of the Series F Warrants to provide that, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined
in the Series F Warrants) that is not within the Company’s control, including the Fundamental Transaction not being approved by
the Company’s Board of Directors, the holder of the Series F Warrant shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any
successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion
of such Series F Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Fundamental
Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination
thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection
with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration
in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the successor entity (which
such successor entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. The modification resulted in the reclassification of the Series F Warrants to be considered equity classified as they were
no longer in the scope of ASC 815. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company remeasured the Series F Warrant liabilities at $ 7,961,000
fair value as of March 31, 2024, the effective date of the modification, and recognized the $ 7,094,000 loss on the change in fair value
and reclassified the $ 7,961,000 fair value of the Series F Warrants to additional paid-in capital as of March 31, 2024.
On November 7, 2024, each holder of the Series F Preferred Shares agreed that payment by the Company of any Installment
Amounts (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designations) that are accrued and are unredeemed, unconverted and/or otherwise unpaid
as of November 7, 2024, will be deferred until December 1, 2024.
Series
F-1 Private Placement
On
May 20, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Series F-1 Purchase Agreement”) with certain
accredited investors (the “Series F-1 Investors”) pursuant to which it agreed to sell to the Series F-1 Investors (i) an
aggregate of 5,050 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series F-1 Preferred Stock, initially convertible into up to 2,780,839
shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $ 1.816 per share, (ii) short-term warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 2,780,839
shares of Common Stock (the “Series F-1 Short-Term Warrants”) at an exercise price of $ 1.816 per share, and (iii) long-term
warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 2,780,839 shares of Common Stock (the “Series F-1 Long-Term Warrants,” and collectively
with the Series F-1 Short-Term Warrants, the “Series F-1 Warrants”) at an exercise price of $ 1.816 per share (collectively,
the “Series F-1 Private Placement”). The closing of the Series F-1 Private Placement occurred on May 23, 2024 (the “Series
F-1 Closing Date”).
Series
F-1 Preferred Stock
The
Series F-1 Preferred Stock became convertible upon issuance into Common Stock (the “Series F-1 Conversion Shares”) at the
election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $ 1.816 (the “Series F-1 Conversion Price”). The Series
F-1 Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject
to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common
Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Series F-1 Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions).
The
Company is required to redeem the Series F-1 Preferred Stock in seven (7) equal monthly installments, commencing on December 1, 2024.
The amortization payments due upon such redemption are payable, at the Company’s election, in cash at 105% of the applicable Installment
Redemption Amount (as defined in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations), or subject to certain limitations, in shares of Common
Stock valued at the lower of (i) the Series F-1 Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (A) 80% of the average of the
three lowest closing prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the thirty consecutive trading day period ending and including
the trading day immediately prior to the date the amortization payment is due or (B) $0.364, which is 20% of the “Minimum Price”
(as defined in Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635) on the date in which the Series F-1 Stockholder Approval (as defined herein) was obtained
or, in any case, such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Capital Market, and, in each case, subject to adjustment
for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events, which amortization amounts are subject
to certain adjustments as set forth in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations (the “Series F-1 Floor Price”).
11
The
holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends of 10 % per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable in arrears
monthly in cash or shares of Common Stock at the Company’s option, in accordance with the terms of the Series F-1 Certificate of
Designations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations),
the Series F-1 Preferred Stock will accrue dividends at the rate of 15 % per annum. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the
Series F-1 Preferred Stock are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment. The holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock
are entitled to vote with holders of the Common Stock on as as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Series
F-1 Preferred Stock is entitled to be calculated assuming a conversion price of $ 2.253 per share, which was the Minimum Price (as defined
in Rule 5635 of the Rule of the Nasdaq Stock Market) applicable immediately before the execution and delivery of the Series F-1 Purchase
Agreement, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations as set forth in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations. During the
three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded dividends totaling $ 421,102 and $ 0 , respectively, which are reported
as Series F Preferred Stock Dividends on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. During the nine months ended September
30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded dividends totaling $ 488,541 and $ 0 , respectively, which are reported as Series F Preferred Stock
Dividends on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company’s ability to settle conversions and make amortization and dividend make-whole payments using shares
of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations. Further, the Series F-1 Certificate
of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of, or as part of any amortization payment or dividend make-whole payment under, the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations
or Series F-1 Warrants.
The
Series F-1 Preferred Shares are classified as temporary equity as the holder of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock has the right to require
the Company to redeem for cash all or any portion of such Holder’s shares upon the suspension from trading or the failure of the
Common Stock to be trading or listed (as applicable) on an eligible market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days. The Series
F-1 Preferred Stock is not unconditionally redeemable and is only conditionally puttable at the Holder’s option upon this trading
suspension or failure. This would not be considered to be within the Company’s control.
The
estimated fair value of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock on the issuance date of approximately $ 9.3
million, was determined utilizing Monte Carlo simulations. The estimated aggregate fair value of the Warrants of approximately
$ 7.9
million was determined utilizing the Black Scholes Model. The aggregate fair value of the Warrants exceeds the aggregate gross
proceeds from the transaction as the Warrants were issued in the money. Further, the fair value of the derivative liability related
to the Series F-1 Preferred Stock was determined to be approximately $ 0.9
million on the date of issuance and $ 1,282,000 as
of September 30, 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a non-cash loss of $ 356,000
and $ 428,000 , respectively.
The
approximately $ 5.1 million stock discount (contra-Preferred Stock) resulting from (i) approximately $4.2 million related to the difference
between the gross proceeds and the allocated residual fair value of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock (i.e., $0), and (ii) approximately
$0.9 million related to the stock derivative at issuance, is accounted for as a reduction to the carrying value of the Series F Preferred
Stock and will be accreted from the issuance date to maturity in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A as redemption is deemed probable pursuant
to the Installment Redemption terms of the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $ 356,000 and $ 0 , respectively,
related to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities, which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $ 367,000 and
$ 0 , respectively, related to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities, which is recorded in other income (expense) on the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Company estimated the $ 1,282,000 fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative
at September 30, 2024 using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs: the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock
of $ 1.62 on the valuation date, estimated equity volatility of 100.0 %, estimated traded volume volatility of 275.0 %, the time to maturity
of 0.75 years, a discounted market interest rate of 4.18 %, dividend rate of 10.0 %, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0 %, and probability of
default of 5.2 %.
Series
F-1 Warrants
The
Series F-1 Warrants were accounted for as liabilities based on the following analysis. The Series F-1 Preferred Shares were determined
to be more akin to a debt-like host than an equity-like host. The Company identified the following embedded features that are not clearly
and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) make-whole interest upon a contingent redemption event, 2) make-whole interest upon
a conversion event, 3) an installment redemption upon an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designations),
and 4) variable share-settled installment conversion. These features were bundled together, assigned probabilities of being affected
and measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value of these features are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Comprehensive Loss. The Company estimated at issuance the $ 3,149,800 fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative using a Monte
Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs: the fair value of our Common Stock of $ 1.90 on the issuance date, estimated equity
volatility of 120.0 %, estimated traded volume volatility of 190.0 %, the time to maturity of 1.35 years, a discounted market interest
rate of 6.8 %, dividend rate of 10.0 %, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0 %, and probability of default of 0.5 %. The fair value of the bifurcated
derivative liabilities was estimated utilizing the with and without method which uses the probability weighted difference between the
scenarios with the derivative and the plain vanilla maturity scenario without a derivative.
12
Pursuant
to the Series F-1 Private Placement, the Company issued to investors (i) the Series F-1 Long-Term Warrants to purchase 2,780,839 shares
of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $ 1.816 per share (subject to adjustment), for a period of five years from the date of issuance
and (ii) the Series F-1 Short-Term Warrants to purchase 2,780,839 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $ 1.816 per share
(subject to adjustment), for a period of eighteen months from the date of issuance.
The
exercise price of the Series F-1 Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F-1 Warrants are subject to customary
adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full
ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common
Stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment to the
exercise price, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F-1 Warrants will be increased proportionately.
On
August 16, 2024, the Company entered into (i) an Amendment (the “Series F-1 Long Term Warrant Amendment”) with the Series
F-1 Investors, effective as of June 30, 2024 relating to the Series F-1 Long Term Warrants, and (ii) an Amendment (the “Series
F-1 Short Term Warrant Amendment” and, together with the Series F-1 Long Term Warrant Amendment, the “Series F-1 Warrant
Amendments”) with the Series F-1 Investors, effective as of June 30, 2024 relating to the Series F-1 Short Term Warrants. The Series
F-1 Warrant Amendments modified certain terms of the Series F-1 Warrants relating to the rights of the holders of the Series F-1 Warrants
to provide that, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Series F-1 Warrants) that is not within the Company’s
control, including the Fundamental Transaction not being approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the holder of the Series
F-1 Warrant shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in
the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of such Series F-1 Warrant, that is being offered and paid
to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination
thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection
with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration
in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the successor entity (which
such successor entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction). Additionally, the Series F-1 Warrant
Amendments amend the definition of Black Scholes Value related to the volatility input which is now an expected volatility equal to the
30 day volatility, obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as
of the trading day immediately following the earliest to occur of (1) the public disclosure of the applicable Fundamental Transaction
and (2) the date of a holder’s request. The modification resulted in the reclassification of the Series F-1 Warrants to be considered
equity classified as they were no longer in the scope of ASC 815. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company remeasured the Series F-1
Warrants at fair value as of July 25, 2024 ($ 6,965,000 ), and recognized the $ 6,000 change in fair value as a non-cash loss and reclassified
the Series F-1 Warrants to additional paid-in capital as of July 25, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a non-cash gain on the change in fair value
of $ 968,000 .
Series
G Private Placement
On
May 20, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Series G Purchase Agreement” and collectively
with the Series F-1 Purchase Agreement, each a “Purchase Agreement” and collectively, the “Purchase Agreements”)
with certain accredited investors (the “Series G Investors” and collectively with the Series F-1 Investors, the “Investors”),
with certain accredited investors (the “Series G Investors”), pursuant to which it agreed to sell to the Series G Investors
(i) an aggregate of 8,950 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series G Preferred Stock, initially convertible into up to 4,928,416
shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a conversion price of $ 1.816 per share (ii) short-term warrants to acquire up to an aggregate
of 4,928,416 shares of Common Stock (the “Series G Short-Term Warrants”) at an exercise price of $ 1.816 per share, and (iii)
long-term warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 4,928,416 shares of Common Stock (the “Series G Long-Term Warrants,”
and collectively with the Series G Short-Term Warrants, the “Series G Warrants”) at an exercise price of $ 1.816 per share
(collectively, the “Series G Private Placement” and collectively with the Series F-1 Private Placement, each a “Private
Placement” and collectively, the “Private Placements”). The closing of the Series G Private Placement occurred on May
23, 2024 (the “Series G Closing Date” and collectively with the Series F-1 Closing Date, the “Closing Date”).
Series
G Preferred Stock
The
Series G Preferred Shares became convertible upon issuance into Common Stock (the “Series G Conversion Shares”) at the election
of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $ 1.816 (the “Series G Conversion Price”). The Series G Conversion
Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based
adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at
a price below the then-applicable Series G Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). At any time after the issuance date of the
Series G Preferred Shares, the Company has the option to redeem in cash all or any portion of the shares of Series G Preferred Shares
then outstanding at a premium upon notice by the Company to all holders of the Series G Preferred Shares.
13
The
holders of the Series G Preferred Shares will be entitled to dividends of 10 % per annum, compounded monthly, which will be payable in
arrears monthly, at the holder’s options, (i) in cash, (ii) “in kind” in the form of additional shares of Series G
Preferred Shares (the “PIK Shares”), or (iii) in a combination thereof, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the
Certificate of Designations of the Series G Preferred Shares (the “Series G Certificate of Designations”). Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series G Certificate of Designations), the Series G Preferred Stock
will accrue dividends at the rate of 15 % per annum. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Series G Preferred Shares are also
entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment. The holders of the Series G Preferred Shares will be entitled to vote with holders
of the Common Stock on as as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Series G Preferred Share is entitled to
be calculated assuming a conversion price of $ 2.253 per share, which was the Minimum Price (as defined in Rule 5635 of the Rule of the
Nasdaq Stock Market) applicable immediately before the execution and delivery of the Series G Purchase Agreement, subject to certain
beneficial ownership limitations as set forth in the Series G Certificate of Designations. During the three months ended September 30,
2024 and 2023, the Company recorded dividends totaling $ 288,068 and $ 0 , respectively, which are reported as Series F Preferred Stock
Dividends on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the
Company recorded dividends totaling $ 325,213 and $ 0 , respectively, which are reported as Series G Preferred Stock Dividends on the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company’s ability to settle conversions and make dividend make-whole payments using shares of Common Stock is
subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series G Certificate of Designations. Further, the Series G Certificate of Designations
contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation, which applies to each Series G Investor, other than PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc., after
giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Shares or as part of any dividend
make-whole payment under the Series G Certificate of Designations.
On
June 17, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Series G Amendment”) with the Required Holders (as defined
in the Series G Certificate of Designations). Pursuant to the Series G Amendment, the Required Holders agreed to amend the Series G Certificate
of Designations by filing a Certificate of Amendment (“Series G Certificate of Amendment”) to the Series G Certificate of
Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”) to increase the number of authorized
shares of Series G Preferred Stock from 8,950 to 12,826,273 , in order to authorize a sufficient number of shares of Series G Preferred
Stock for the payment of PIK Shares. On June 17, 2024, the Company filed the Series G Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of
State, thereby amending the Series G Certificate of Designations. The Series G Certificate of Amendment became effective with the Secretary
of State upon filing.
The
Series G Preferred Shares are classified as temporary equity as the holder of the Series G Preferred Stock has the right to require the
Company to redeem for cash all or any portion of such Holder’s shares upon the suspension from trading or the failure of the Common
Stock to be trading or listed (as applicable) on an eligible market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days. The Series G Preferred
Stock is not unconditionally redeemable and is only conditionally puttable at the Holder’s option upon this trading suspension
or failure. This would not be considered to be within the Company’s control.
The
estimated fair value of the Series G Preferred Stock on the issuance date of approximately $ 22.3 million, was determined utilizing Monte
Carlo simulations. The estimated aggregate fair value of the Warrants of approximately $ 14.1 million was determined utilizing the Black
Scholes Model. The aggregate fair value of the Warrants exceeds the aggregate gross proceeds from the transaction as the Warrants were
issued in the money.
The
approximately $ 9.0 million stock discount (contra-Preferred Stock) resulting from the difference between the gross proceeds and the allocated
residual fair value of the Series G Preferred Stock (i.e. $0) is accounted for as a reduction to the carrying value of the Preferred
Stock and is not accreted until redemption becomes probable in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A.
Since
the fair value of the liabilities required to be subsequently measured at fair value exceeds the net proceeds received, the excess of
the fair value over the net proceeds received is recognized as a loss in earnings. As such, the Company recognized a loss on the issuance
of preferred stock of approximately $ 5.1 million.
On
August 8, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “August Series G Amendment”) with the Required Holders
(as defined in the Series G Certificate of Designations). Pursuant to the August Series G Amendment, the Required Holders agreed to amend
the Series G Certificate of Designations by filing a Certificate of Amendment (“August Series G Certificate of Amendment”)
to the Series G Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State to adjust the calculation of the PIK Shares. On August 8, 2024,
the Company filed the August Series G Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State, thereby amending the Series G Certificate
of Designations. The August Series G Certificate of Amendment became effective with the Secretary of State upon filing.

Series
G Warrants
The
Series G Preferred Shares were determined to be more akin to a debt-like host than an equity-like host. The Company identified the following
embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) make-whole interest upon a contingent redemption
event, 2) make-whole interest upon a conversion event, 3) an installment redemption upon an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in
the Series F Certificate of Designations), and 4) variable share-settled installment conversion. These features were bundled together,
assigned probabilities of being affected and measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value of these features are recognized
in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Company estimated at issuance the $ 3,149,800 fair value of the bifurcated
embedded derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs: the fair value of our Common Stock of $ 1.90 on the
issuance date, estimated equity volatility of 120.0 %, estimated traded volume volatility of 190.0 %, the time to maturity of 1.35 years,
a discounted market interest rate of 6.8 %, dividend rate of 10.0 %, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0 %, and probability of default of 0.5 %.
The fair value of the bifurcated derivative liabilities was estimated utilizing the with and without method which uses the probability
weighted difference between the scenarios with the derivative and the plain vanilla maturity scenario without a derivative.
Pursuant
to the Series G Private Placement, the Company issued to investors (i) the Series G Long-Term Warrants to purchase 4,928,416 shares of
Common Stock, with an exercise price of $ 1.816 per share (subject to adjustment), for a period of five years from the date of issuance
and (ii) the Series G Short-Term Warrants to purchase 4,928,416 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $1.816 per share (subject
to adjustment), for a period of eighteen months from the date of issuance.
The
exercise price of the Series G Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series G Warrants are subject to customary
adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full
ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common
Stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment to the
exercise price, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series G Warrants will be increased proportionately.
On
August 16, 2024, the Company entered into (i) an Amendment (the “Series G Long Term Warrant Amendment”) with the Series G
Investors, effective as of June 30, 2024, relating to the Series G Long Term Warrants, and (ii) an Amendment (the “Series G Short
Term Warrant Amendment” and, together with the Series G Long Term Warrant Amendment, the “Series G Warrant Amendments”)
with the Series G Investors, effective as of June 30, 2024, relating to the Series G Short Term Warrants. The Series G Warrant Amendments
modified certain terms of the Series G Warrants relating to the rights of the holders of the Series G Warrants to provide that, in the
event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Series G Warrants) that is not within the Company’s control, including the
Fundamental Transaction not being approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the holder of the Series G Warrant shall only be
entitled to receive from the Company or any successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at
the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Series G Warrants) of the unexercised portion of such Series G Warrant, that is being offered
and paid to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination
thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection
with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration
in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the successor entity (which
such successor entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction). Additionally, the Series
G Warrant Amendments amend the definition of Black Scholes Value related to the volatility input which is now an expected volatility
equal to the 60 day volatility, obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization
factor) as of the trading day immediately following the earliest to occur of (1) the public disclosure of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction and (2) the date of a holder’s request. The modification resulted in the reclassification of the Series G Warrants
to be considered equity classified as they were no longer in the scope of ASC 815. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company remeasured
the Series G Warrants at fair value as of July 25, 2024 ($ 12,343,000 ), and recognized the $ 11,000 change in fair value as a non-cash
loss and reclassified the Series G Warrants to additional paid-in capital as of July 25, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a non-cash gain on the change in fair value
of $ 1,716,000 .

Note
2 – Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Basis of Presentation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in U.S. Dollars and in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company. These statements include all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements and have been prepared
on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies included in the Notes to Financial
Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”). Certain financial information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading. The Notes to Financial Statements included in the 2023 Annual Report should be read in conjunction
with the accompanying interim financial statements. The interim operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024
may not be necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year or any future period.
(b)
Use of Estimates and Judgments
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. Actual results may differ
from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized
in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about significant areas of estimation,
uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in
the financial statements is included in the following notes for recording the fair value of financial instruments, derivative financial
instruments valuations, research and development expenses, impairment of intangible assets and the valuation of share-based payments.
(c)
Functional and Presentation Currency
These
condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial
information has been rounded to the nearest dollar. Foreign Currency Transaction Gains or Losses, resulting from cash balances denominated
in Foreign Currencies, are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
18
(d)
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The
Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive
income. Comprehensive income (loss) is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial
information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income (loss). Since the Company has no items of other
comprehensive income (loss), comprehensive loss is equal to net loss.
(e)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits (up to three months from date of deposit) that
are not restricted as to withdrawal date or use, to be cash equivalents.
(f)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as
of and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2024
due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative related to the convertible preferred stock was
estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses as inputs the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock and
estimates for the equity volatility and traded volume volatility of the Company’s Common Stock, the time to maturity of the
convertible preferred stock, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the time to maturity, dividend rate, a
penalty dividend rate, and the probability of default. The fair value of the warrant
liabilities was estimated using the Black Scholes Model which uses as inputs the following weighted average assumptions: dividend
yield, expected term in years; equity volatility; and risk-free interest rate.
Fair
Value Measurement
The
framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are
described as follows:
Level
1
Inputs
to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company
can access.
Level
2
Inputs
to the valuation methodology include:
●
quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
●
quoted
prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
●
inputs
other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
●
inputs
that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means
If
the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of
the asset or liability.
Level
3
Inputs
to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The
asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs.

Fair
Value on a Recurring Basis
The
Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each
reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The estimated
fair value of the warrant liabilities and bifurcated embedded derivatives represent Level 3 measurements. The following table presents
information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and indicates

(g)
Derivative Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “ Derivatives and Hedging .” If liability accounting is required, the
Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value at the issuance date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes
in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the balance sheet as
current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within twelve (12)
months of the balance sheet date.
The
Company has determined that the Series F Convertible
Preferred Stock warrants are derivatives that are required to be accounted for as liabilities. The Company has also determined that the
following embedded features in the preferred stock are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) make-whole interest
upon a contingent redemption event, 2) make-whole interest upon a conversion event, 3) an installment redemption upon an Equity Conditions
Failure (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), and 4) variable share-settled installment conversion and
as such are bifurcated from the preferred stock and accounted for as liabilities. The fair value of the warrants and embedded features
are estimated using internal valuation models. The Company’s valuation models utilize inputs and other assumptions and may not
be reflective of the price at which they can be settled.
Warrants
The
Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the
warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC
480”) and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480,
meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity
classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock and whether the
warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s
control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is
conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are
outstanding.
For
issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component
of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification,
the warrants are required to be liability classified and recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured
at fair value and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash
gain or loss on the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Modification
of warrants
The
Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40 to account for warrants that are liability classified that are subsequently modified resulting
in a reclassification to equity. The warrants are remeasured at fair value on the modification date, the change in fair value is recognized
as a non-cash gain or loss on the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss), and the warrants are reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
(h)
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid
expenses represent expenses paid prior to the date that the related services are rendered or used are comprised principally of prepaid
insurance and research and development expenses.
(i)
Concentrations
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash on deposit with financial
institutions and accounts receivable. At times, the Company’s cash in banks exceeds the FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not
experienced any loss because of these cash deposits. These cash balances are maintained with two banks as of September 30, 2024.
(j)
Risk Management of Cash and Investments
It
is the Company’s policy to minimize the Company’s capital resources to investment risks, prioritizing the preservation of
capital over investment returns. Investments are maintained in securities, primarily publicly traded, short-term money market funds based
on highly rated federal, state and corporate bonds, that minimize the risk to the Company’s capital resources and provide ready
access to funds.
The
Company’s investment portfolios are regularly monitored for risk and are held with one brokerage firm.
22
(k)
Investments
Investments
recorded using the cost method will be assessed for any decrease in value that has occurred that is other than temporary and the other
than temporary decrease in value shall be recognized. As and when circumstances and facts change, the Company will evaluate the Company’s
ability to significantly influence operational and financial policy to establish a basis for converting the investment accounted for
using the cost method to the equity method of valuation in accordance with FASB ASC 323.
In
accordance with FASB ASC 323, the Company recognizes investments in joint ventures based upon the Company’s ability to significantly
influence the operational or financial policies of the joint venture. An objective judgment of the level of influence is made at the
time of the investment based upon several factors including, but not limited to the following:
a)
Representation
on the Board of Directors
b)
Participation
in policy-making processes
c)
Material
intra-entity transactions
d)
Interchange
of management personnel
e)
Technological
dependencies
f)
Extent
of ownership and the ability to influence decision making based upon the makeup of other owners when the shareholder group is small.
The
Company follows the equity method for valuating investments in joint ventures when the existence of significant influence over operational
and financial policy has been established, as determined by management; otherwise, the Company will valuate these investments using the
cost method.
In
accordance with FASB ASC 321-10-35-2, the Company has elected to measure its investment in Oravax Medical, Inc. (“Oravax”)
(Note 3) as an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. Under this election, an equity security without a readily available
fair value is reflected at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions
for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. At each reporting period, the Company is required to make a qualitative
assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. If deemed impaired, the Company is required
to estimate the fair value of the investment and recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the fair value of the investment
and its carry amount. As of September 30, 2024, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether the investment is
impaired and determined that the investment was not impaired and thus no adjustment to fair market value was required as of September
30, 2024.
(l)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Items
of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Costs include
expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Gains
and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying
amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognized within “other (income)/expense” in the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Depreciation
is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of
the lease term or their useful lives.
The
estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Schedule
of Estimated Useful Lives of Property Plant and Equipment
Useful Life
(in years)
Plant and equipment
5 - 12
Furniture and fixtures
5 - 10
Computer equipment & software
3 - 5
Leasehold Improvements
Shorter of the remaining lease or estimated useful life
Depreciation
methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.
(m)
Intangible Assets
The
Company’s long-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, are assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate
there may be an impairment. These assets were initially recorded at their estimated fair value at the time of acquisition and assets
not acquired in acquisitions were recorded at historical cost. However, if their estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount,
other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reduced to their estimated fair value through an impairment charge in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
23
Patents
and Trade Secrets
Propriety
protection for the Company’s products, technology and process is important to its competitive position. As of September 30, 2024,
the Company has 18 issued U.S. patents, 69 foreign patents, 1 pending U.S. patent applications and 7 foreign patent applications pending
in such jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, China, European Union, Israel, Japan and South Korea, which if issued are expected to expire
between 2036 and 2041. Management intends to protect all other intellectual property (e.g. copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets)
using all legal remedies available to the Company.
The
Company records expenses related to the application for and maintenance of patents as a component of research and development expenses
on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss.
Patent
Costs
Patents
may be purchased from third parties. The costs of acquiring the patent are capitalized as patent costs if it represents a future economic
benefit to the Company. Once a patent is acquired it is amortized over its remaining useful life and assessed for impairment when necessary.
Other
Intangible Assets
Other
intangible assets that are acquired by the Company, which have definite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization
and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortization
Amortization
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that
they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

(n)
Goodwill
Goodwill
is evaluated annually for impairment or whenever we identify certain triggering events or circumstances that would more likely than not
reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. Events or circumstances that might indicate an interim evaluation is warranted include,
among other things, unexpected adverse business conditions, economic factors (for example, the loss of key personnel), supply costs,
unanticipated competitive activities, and acts by governments and courts.
(o)
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
In
accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, long-lived assets to be held and used are
analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable
or that the useful lives of those assets are no longer appropriate. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and
circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment.
24
The
Company determines the existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges)
and comparing such amount to the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss, if one exists, is then measured as the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the discounted estimated future cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value of such assets less costs to sell. Asset impairment charges are recorded to reduce the carrying
amount of the long-lived asset that will be sold or disposed of to their estimated fair values. Charges for the asset impairment reduce
the carrying amount of the long-lived assets to their estimated salvage value in connection with the decision to dispose of such assets.

Right-of-Use Assets
The
Company leased a facility in Baltimore, Maryland (“2021 Wolfe St”) under an operating lease (“2021 Baltimore Lease”)
with annual rentals of $ 52,800 to $ 56,016 plus certain operating expenses. The 2021 Baltimore Lease took effect on November 17, 2021,
for a term of 12 months with automatic renewals unless a sixty-day notice is provided. The initial term expired on November 30, 2022.
The lease renewed effective December 1, 2022 for a term of 12 months with automatic renewals unless a sixty-day notice is provided. The
2021 Baltimore Lease was terminated by the lessor on April 30, 2024.
The
Company leased a facility in Tampa, Florida (“Platt St”) under an operating lease (“Platt Street Lease”) with
annual rentals of $ 22,030 to $ 23,259 plus certain operating expenses. The Platt Street Lease took effect on April 1, 2022 for a term
of 36 months. The Platt Street Lease was cancelled without penalty effective October 31, 2023.
The
Company leased a facility in Baltimore, Maryland (“2024 Wolfe St”) under an operating lease (“2024 Baltimore Lease”)
with annual rentals of $ 32,400 plus certain operating expenses. The 2024 Baltimore Lease took effect on May 1, 2024, for a term of 12
months with automatic renewals unless a sixty-day notice is provided.
25
In
accordance with FASB ASC, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which increases transparency and comparability by recognizing a
lessee’s rights and obligations resulting from leases by recording them on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities.
The guidance requires the recognition of the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and related operating and finance lease liabilities
on the balance sheet.
The
Company utilizes the package of practical expedients permitted within the standard, which allows an entity to forgo reassessing (i) whether
a contract contains a lease, (ii) classification of leases, and (iii) whether capitalized costs associated with a lease meet the definition
of initial direct costs. Also, the Company elected the expedient allowing an entity to use hindsight to determine the lease term and
impairment of ROU assets and the expedient to allow the Company to not have to separate lease and non-lease components. The Company has
also elected the short-term lease accounting policy under which the Company would not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for any
lease that at the commencement date has a lease term of twelve months or less and does not include a purchase option that the Company
is more than reasonably certain to exercise.
For
operating leases, the lease liability is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments. The Company
generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases, unless an interest rate is implicitly stated in the lease.
The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, which was determined
using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments
on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The lease term for all the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period
of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend the lease that the Company is reasonably certain
to exercise, or an option to extend the lease controlled by the lessor. All ROU assets are reviewed for impairment.
Lease
expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs and is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
The
Company’s operating leases are comprised of the 2024 Baltimore Lease, the 2021 Baltimore Lease and the Platt Street Lease on the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The information related to these leases are presented below:

Revenue Recognition
The
Company will recognize revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that
a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to
contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services
transferred to the customer. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
1)
Identify
the contract with the customer
2)
Identify
the performance obligations in the contract
3)
Determine
the transaction price
4)
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
5)
Recognize
revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
(r)
Income Taxes
The
Company utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The provision for income taxes
is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income.
Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets
and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The
Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that
some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws
that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In management’s opinion, adequate
provisions for income taxes have been made. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances
or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Tax
benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The
amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement.
A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that
do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no liability for unrecognized
tax benefits was required to be reported.
27
There
was no income tax benefit recorded for the losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 since management determined
that the realization of the net deferred tax assets is not more likely than not to be realized and has recorded a full valuation allowance
on the net deferred tax assets.
The
Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax audits is to record such items as a component of general
and administrative expenses. There were no amounts accrued for penalties and interest for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2024 and 2023. The Company does not expect its uncertain tax position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently
unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.
Tax
years from 2020 through 2023 remain subject to examination by federal and state jurisdictions.
(s)
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share of Common Stock
Basic
earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings
per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the
period. Potential common stock that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered anti-dilutive.
Diluted
net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and dilutive potential Common Stock outstanding
during the period.
The
following table is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted net income/(loss)
per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

As the Company reported a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the nine months ended
September 30, 2023, Common Stock equivalents were anti-dilutive.
As
of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common stock
because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, although the Company
reported net income, the following securities were out of the money and thus considered anti-dilutive.

Stock-based Payments
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation
expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates
the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is
ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method. In June 2018,
the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment
Accounting (the “2018 Update”). The amendments in the 2018 Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment
transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. Prior to the 2018 Update, Topic 718 applied only to share-based transactions
to employees. Consistent with the accounting requirement for employee share-based payment awards, nonemployee share-based payment awards
within the scope of Topic 718 are measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue when
the good has been delivered or the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the
instruments have been satisfied.
The
Company has elected to account for forfeiture of stock-based awards as they occur.

Research and Development Costs
In
accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist of fees paid to third parties that
conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.

Note
3 – Liquidity and Management’s Plans
As
of September 30, 2024, the Company’s cash on hand was $ 1,192,351
and marketable securities were $ 9,449,483 .
The Company has incurred a total net loss attributable to stockholders of $ 24,025,339
for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had working capital of $ 5,038,212
and stockholders’ equity of $ 16,777,343 ,
including an accumulated deficit of $ 126,002,406 .
Since its inception, the Company has met its liquidity requirements principally through the sale of its Common Stock and Preferred Stock
in public and private placements.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company raised $ 12,487,399 ,
net of offerings costs of $ 1,512,601 ,
through the private placement of the Company’s Series F-1 Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
The
Company evaluated the current cash requirements for operations in conjunction with management’s strategic plan and believes that
the Company’s current financial resources as of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements are
sufficient to fund its current operating budget and contractual obligations as of September 30, 2024 as they fall due within the next
twelve-month period from the date of the issuance of these financial statements, alleviating any substantial doubt raised by the Company’s
historical operating results and satisfying its estimated liquidity needs for twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated
financial statements.

ten trading days during any twenty (20) consecutive trading day period ending on or after December 15, 2021 and the fair market value
of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $150.00 during such trading day period.
●
One-third
(33%) of each RSU will vest when the Company’s market capitalization is equal to or greater than $750,000,000 for at least

Series
D Convertible Preferred Stock
The
following are the principal terms of the Series D Preferred Stock:
Rank
The
Series D Preferred Stock ranks (1) on parity with Common Stock on an “as converted” basis, (2) senior to any series of our
capital stock hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms junior to the Series D Preferred Stock, (3) on parity with any series
of our capital stock hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series D Preferred Stock, and (4) junior
to any series of our capital stock hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Series D Preferred Stock in each
case, as to dividends or distributions of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up whether voluntary or involuntary.
Conversion
Rights
A
holder of Series D Preferred Stock is entitled at any time to convert any whole or partial number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock
into shares of our Common Stock, determined by dividing the stated value equal to $ 0.01 by the conversion price of $ 0.01 per share. A
holder of Series D Preferred Stock is prohibited from converting Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result
of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% of the total number of shares of our Common Stock
then issued and outstanding (with such ownership restriction referred to as the “Series D Beneficial Ownership Limitation”)
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock.
However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase
in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days after such notice to us. The conversion rate of the Series D Preferred Stock
is subject to proportionate adjustments for stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar events, but is not subject to adjustment based
on price anti-dilution provisions.
Dividend
Rights
In
addition to stock dividends or distributions for which proportionate adjustments will be made, holders of Series D Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series D Preferred Stock equal, on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis, to and in the
same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock.
No other dividends are payable on shares of Series D Preferred Stock.
Voting
Rights
Subject
to the Series D Beneficial Ownership Limitation, on any matter presented to our stockholders for their action or consideration at any
meeting of our stockholders (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting), each holder, in its capacity as such, shall
be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of our Common Stock into which the Series D Preferred Stock
beneficially owned by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on or consent to
such matter (taking into account all Series D Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holder). Except as otherwise required by law
or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Designation of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Certificate
of Designation”), the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, in their capacity as such, shall vote together with the holders of our
Common Stock and any other class or series of stock entitled to vote thereon as a single class.
34
Liquidation
Rights
Upon
any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock
are entitled to receive, pari passu with the holders of Common Stock, out of the assets available for distribution to stockholders
an amount equal to such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series D Preferred Stock been converted into Common
Stock immediately before such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, without giving effect to any limitation on conversion as a result
of the Series D Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as described above.
Exchange
Listing
Series
D Preferred Stock is not listed on the Nasdaq, any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Our Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock is listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “TNFA”.
Failure
to Deliver Conversion Shares
If
the Company fails to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Conversion
Shares”) within the time period specified in the Series D Certificate of Designation (within two trading days after delivery of
the notice of conversion, or any shorter standard settlement period in effect with respect to trading market on the date notice is delivered),
then the Company is obligated to pay to the holder, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to $25 per trading day (increasing to $50
per trading day on the third trading day and $100 per trading day on the sixth trading day) for each $5,000 of stated value of Series
D Preferred Stock being converted which are not timely delivered. If the Company makes such liquidated damages payments, the Company
is also not obligated to make Series D Buy-In (as defined below) payments with respect to the same Series D Conversion Shares.
Compensation
for Series D Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Shares
If
the Company fails to timely deliver the Series D Conversion Shares to the holder, and if after the required delivery date the holder
is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the holder or its brokerage firm otherwise purchases,
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the holder of the Series D Conversion Shares which the holder anticipated
receiving upon such conversion or exercise (a “Series D Buy-In”), then the Company is obligated to (A) pay in cash to such
holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such holder’s
total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1)
the aggregate number of Series D Conversion Shares that such holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by
(2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions)
and (B) at the option of such holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series D Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares
of Series D Preferred Stock submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such holder
the number of Series D Conversion Shares that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements.

Litigation
and Settlements
Raymond
Akers Actions
On
April 14, 2021, Raymond F. Akers, Jr., Ph.D. filed a lawsuit against the Company (f/k/a Akers Biosciences, Inc.) in the Superior Court
of New Jersey, Law Division, Gloucester County (the “First Raymond Akers Action”). Mr. Akers asserts one common law whistleblower
retaliation claim against the Company.
On
September 23, 2021, the Court granted the Company’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint and dismissed Plaintiff’s
Amended Complaint. The Court indicated that Mr. Akers is “free to file another complaint, however, tort-based ‘Pierce’
allegations, and/or CEPA claims are barred by the statute of limitations.”
On
March 1, 2022, Mr. Akers filed a second action against the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Gloucester County
(the “Second Raymond Akers Action”) again asserting one common law whistleblower retaliation claim against the Company. The
Company believes that the Second Raymond Akers Action is without merit and, moreover, was filed against the Court’s specific admonition
that Plaintiff does not attempt to circumvent the statute of limitations.
On
May 27, 2022, the Court granted-in-part and denied-in-part the Company’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint. The Court
reaffirmed the ruling in the First Raymond Akers Action that any tort-based Pierce claims are time-barred. However, the Court denied
the Motion as it pertained to Plaintiff’s contract-based Pierce claim and “Repayment of Monies Owed” claim. On July
29, 2022, the Company filed its Answer, which included affirmative defenses. As of September 30, 2024, the Second Raymond Akers Action
is in the discovery phase.
All
legal fees incurred were expensed as and when incurred. While no assurance can be provided, the Company does not believe that the current litigation will have a material
impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The
information set forth below should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto
included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on April 1, 2024. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates
and projections. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those
indicated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those discussed in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, entitled “Risk Factors.” References in this discussion and analysis to “us,” “we,”
“our,” or “the Company” refer collectively to TNF Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Our
financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments
and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available
to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between
these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP
and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting
any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
This
quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC” and such reports, collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information
that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions
made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are
only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these
terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such
statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions,
and other factors, including the risks relating to the Company’s business, industry, and the Company’s operations and results
of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels
of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States,
we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Overview
The
Company is focused on developing and commercializing two therapeutic platforms based on well-defined therapeutic targets: MYMD-1 and
Supera-CBD:
●
MYMD-1
is a clinical stage small molecule that is being developed to treat age-related illnesses such as frailty and sarcopenia. MYMD-1
works by regulating the release of numerous pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, interleukin 6 (“IL-6”) and
interleukin 17 (“IL-17”). MYMD-1 currently is being evaluated in patients with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss).
By regulating the immunometabolic system, MYMD-1 can also treat autoimmune disease, including (but not limited to) multiple sclerosis,
diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. The Company has significant intellectual property coverage to protect
these autoimmune indications, as well as therapy as an anti-aging product;
●
The
Company is advancing MYMD-1 in sarcopenia based on positive clinical data from its Phase II trial and previous research findings.
This previous clinical trial supported the safety profile, including no serious adverse events and no patient dropouts due to an
adverse event. Serum analysis confirmed the mechanism of action in patients with sarcopenia aged 65-75 years old. These data support
the protocol in development to assess clinical outcomes in patients with sarcopenia;
●
In
preparation for future studies, the Company and partner Charles River Laboratories completed the dosing in an FDA-required 90-day
oral gavage electroencephalogram (EEG) safety study in an animal model. This 90-day dog study was designed to complement the GLP
chronic toxicology studies that have been completed and reported to FDA. This complete toxicology package will inform the duration
and dosing of future clinical studies;
●
An
Annual Report is in preparation for submission to FDA;
●
Supera-CBD
is a synthetic analog of cannabidiol (“CBD”) being developed to treat various conditions, including, but not limited
to, epilepsy, pain, and anxiety/depression, through its effects on the CB2 receptor, and a monoamine oxidase enzyme (“MAO”)
type B. Supera-CBD has shown promise in treating neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, and may benefit from the recent
re-classification of cannabis-derived products by FDA;
●
In
a pre-clinical evaluation of Supera-CBD for pain (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine - Division of Behavioral Biology),
Supera-CBD decreased pain, indicating beneficial effects on inflammatory-induced thermal pain sensitivity at all doses tested;
●
The
Company is currently preparing several scientific papers for publication in 2024, including an abstract for submission in the fourth
quarter 2024 related to the Phase 2 study of MYMD-1 in sarcopenia/frailty to a peer-reviewed publication;
●
The
Company’s new management is seeking appropriate speaking opportunities to present the
Company;
●
The
Company is exploring non-dilutive opportunities to evaluate MYMD-1 in additional indications not previously considered.
45
Reverse
Stock Split
On
February 14, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Simultaneously with the
Reverse Stock Split, number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance was reduced from 500,000,000 shares
to 16,666,666 shares, and our authorized capital stock was reduced from 550,000,000 shares to 66,666,666 shares. The Reverse Stock Split
reduced the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares held by the Company as treasury shares. All
share amounts have been retroactively adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, except as stated otherwise.
2021
Merger and Milestone Payments
On
April 16, 2021, pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated November 11, 2020 (as subsequently
amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, previously known as Akers Biosciences, Inc., XYZ Merger Sub,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and MyMD Pharmaceuticals (Florida), Inc., a Florida corporation
previously known as MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“MyMD Florida”), Merger Sub was merged with and into MyMD Florida, with MyMD
Florida continuing after the merger as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).
The Merger consideration included potential milestone payments to the pre-Merger MyMD Florida stockholders (the “Milestone Payments”)
payable in shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the achievement of certain market capitalization milestone events (the “Milestone
Events”) during the 36-month period immediately following the closing of the Merger (the “Milestone Period”). On April
16, 2024, the Milestone Period expired and accordingly, the pre-Merger MyMD Florida stockholders are no longer entitled to any potential
Milestone Payments pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
The
Company previously owned, through its subsidiary Cystron Biotech, LLC (“Cystron”), an exclusive license from Premas Biotech
PVT Ltd. (“Premas”) with respect to Premas’ vaccine platform for the development of a vaccine against COVID-19 and
other coronavirus infections. On April 16, 2021, pursuant to the Contribution and Assignment Agreement, dated March 18, 2021 (the “Contribution
Agreement”) by and among the Company, Cystron, Oravax Medical, Inc. (“Oravax”) and, for the limited purpose set forth
therein, Premas, the Company caused Cystron to contribute substantially all of the assets associated with its business of developing
and manufacturing Cystron’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate to Oravax. Oravax is pursuing the development of the COVID-19 vaccine candidate.
The Company’s interest in Oravax consists of 13% of Oravax’s outstanding shares of capital stock and the rights to a 2.5%
royalty on all future net sales. The Company has evaluated several options with respect to its interest in Oravax, including a potential
distribution of Oravax shares to the Company’s stockholders. This would make Oravax a publicly held company. In addition, the Company
currently has the right to designate a member of the board of directors of Oravax, pursuant to which Mr. Joshua Silverman, our Chairman
of the Board, has been designated to serve as a director of Oravax.
46
Financial
Operations Overview
We
will not generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete clinical development, obtain regulatory approval
for, and successfully commercialize our MYMD-1 and Supera-CBD product candidates. The lengthy process of securing marketing approvals
for new drugs requires the expenditure of substantial resources. Any significant delay or failure to obtain regulatory approvals would
materially adversely affect our product candidate’s development efforts and our business overall. In addition, if we obtain regulatory
approval for MYMD-1 and/or Supera-CBD, we expect to incur significant expenses related to developing our commercialization capability
to support product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution activities.
We
anticipate that our expenses will increase significantly as we:
●
advance
the development of our MYMD-1 and Supera-CBD;
●
initiate
and continue research and preclinical and clinical development of potential new product candidates;
●
maintain,
expand and protect our intellectual property as it pertains to MYMD-1 and Supera-CBD;
●
expand
our infrastructure and facilities to accommodate ongoing development activities;
●
establish
agreements with contract research organizations, or CROs, and third-party contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs, in connection
with our Supera-CBD preclinical studies, MYMD-1 ongoing and planned clinical trials, Supera-CBD clinical trials and the development
of our manufacturing capabilities for MYMD-1 and Supera-CBD;
●
develop
the large-scale manufacturing processes and capabilities for the commercialization of our MYMD-1 and Supera-CBD drug products;
●
seek
marketing approvals for our MYMD-1 and Supera-CBD product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials and
●
establish
a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize MYMD-1 and Supera-CBD should we obtain marketing approval.
As
a result of these anticipated expenditures, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue
our growth strategy.
47
Components
of our Results of Operations
Revenue
We
have not generated any revenue from product sales and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the near future.
If our research and development efforts with MYMD-1 and Supera-CBD are successful, we may generate revenue from product sales or through
license agreements with third parties.
Operating
Expenses
Our
operating expenses are broken into several components, including research and development and general and administrative costs.
We
expect operating expenses to increase as we progress through the various clinical trials in the development of MYMD-1 and Supera-CBD.
Research
and Development
Our
research and development expenses primarily consist of costs associated with the development of MYMD-1 and Supera-CBD. These costs include,
but are not limited to:
●
Salaries,
wages and benefits of the research and development staff;
●
Contractual
agreements with third parties including contract research organizations, preclinical activities and clinical trials;
●
Outside
consultants including fees and expenses;
●
Laboratory
supplies and equipment;
●
Regulatory
compliance; and
●
Patent
application and maintenance costs to protect our intellectual property.
We
utilize third party contractors and consultants with expertise in specific research or development activities to perform work under the
supervision of our researchers. We believe this allows us to control costs and to progress through the development cycle and to utilize
our staff more efficiently.
It
is difficult to project with absolute accuracy the duration or final cost of the development of MYMD-1 and Super-CBD or if revenue will
be generated from the commercialization of these components. The process of achieving regulatory approval is very costly and time consuming.
A few of the many factors that contribute to costs of duration include:
●
Size
and scope of pre-clinical trials;
●
The
phases of clinical development and the stage of our product candidates in the cycle;
●
Per
subject trial costs;
●
The
number of sites required for the trials and the availability of appropriate sites to perform the trials;
●
The
time that is required to enroll the appropriate number of trial participants; and
●
The
time required to achieve the approval of regulatory agencies.
48
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, wages and benefits for our employees in the executive, legal and accounting
functions and third-party costs for legal, accounting, insurance, investor relations, stock market and board expenses.
Although
treated as components of general and administrative expenses, we have chosen to disclose the following significant items separately:
Stock
Based Compensation
Stock-based
compensation includes the fair market value, as determined using the Black-Scholes options pricing model, of stock options issued to
key staff and consultants.
Warrant
Issuance Expenses
Warrant
issuance expenses represent the portion of the fees and offering expenses incurred in connection with the February 2023 Offering attributable
to the issuance of the Series F Warrants.
Other
Income (Expense), net
Other
income (expense), net consists of interest and dividends earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and investments, gains/(losses) on the
sale of marketable securities, gains/(losses) on the changes of fair value of equity investments, gains/(losses) on the changes of fair
value of warrant liabilities, gains/(losses) on the changes of fair value of derivative liabilities, and an uninsured casualty loss.

Personnel
costs decreased $186,363 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is related to the Company initiatives relating
to reducing the number of employees that was implemented during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Professional
services costs decreased $19,189 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. These costs included legal and accounting and specialized

Stock-Based
Compensation
Stock-based
compensation decreased $581,814 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is related to the accelerated vesting
of the stock options issued on June 7, 2023 that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2023 which reduced the periodic recognition of costs,
to the final vesting of the second tranche of the June 7, 2023 stock options, and to the reversal of recognized costs for forfeitures
of unvested stock options related to a separated employee.

Approval (as defined herein), and (iv) consent to the issuance of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock as required
pursuant to certain terms of the Series F Certificate of Designations, the Series F Purchase Agreement and the Series F Warrants, as
applicable. The Company and the Required Holders further agreed pursuant to the Series F Agreement, to amend the Series F Certificate
of Designations by filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Series F Certificate of Designations (the “Series F Certificate of
Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Series F Certificate of Amendment amends the Series F Certificate
of Designations to (i) extend the maturity date to December 31, 2024, (ii) permit and modify certain procedures related to the payment
of installment amounts with respect to the Installment Dates (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designations) falling between
(and including) July 1, 2024, and (and including) August 1, 2024, thereunder, and (iii) modify the schedule of Installment Dates.

The
holders of the Series F Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of 10% per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable in cash or
shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Company’s option, in accordance with the terms of the Series F Certificate of
Designations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designations),
the Series F Preferred Shares accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. In connection with a Triggering Event, each holder of Series
F Preferred Shares is able to require the Company to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s Series F Preferred Shares at a premium
set forth in the Certificate of Designation. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares are also entitled
to receive a dividend make-whole payment. Except as required by applicable law, the holders of the Series F Preferred Shares are entitled
to vote with holders of the Common Stock on as as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Series F Preferred
Shares is entitled to be calculated assuming a conversion price of $60.21 per share, which was the Minimum Price (as defined in Rule
5635 of the Rule of the Nasdaq Stock Market) applicable immediately before the execution and delivery of the February 2023 SPA, subject
to certain beneficial ownership limitations as set forth in the Certificate of Designation. The Series F Certificate of Designations
further provides that the holders of record of the Series F Preferred Shares, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled
to elect one director of the Company one time on or before June 30, 2024.
The
Company is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, acquisition and investment
transactions, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends (other than dividends
pursuant to the Series F Certificate of Designations), distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among other matters.
There is no established public trading market for the Series F Preferred Shares and the Company does not intend to list the Series F
Preferred Shares on any national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.
Series
F Warrants
The
Series F Warrants became exercisable immediately upon issuance, have an exercise price of $2.255 per share (pre-split) (as adjusted,
the “Series F Exercise Price”) and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Series F Exercise Price is subject to
customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a
“full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of the Company’s Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable
or exchangeable for the Company’s Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Exercise Price (subject to certain exceptions).
Upon any such price-based adjustment to the Series F Exercise Price, the number of February 2023 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of the Series F Warrants will be increased proportionately. The Series F Warrants were issued with an initial Exercise Price of $2.255
per share (pre-split). Following the Reverse Stock Split, the Exercise Price for the Series F Warrants was adjusted to $3.18 per share
and the number of February 2023 Warrant Shares was adjusted to 4,716,904 shares pursuant to the terms of the Series F Warrants. There
is no established public trading market for the Series F Warrants and the Company does not intend to list the Series F Warrants on any
national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. In connection with the Private Placements (as defined herein),
the Series F Exercise Price was adjusted to $1.816 per share and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series
F Warrants was adjusted proportionally to 8,259,911 shares pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Series
F Warrants.
On
May 14, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment (the “Series F Amendment”) with the Investors in the February 2023 Offering,
effective as of March 31, 2024. The Series F Amendment amended certain terms of the Series F Warrants relating to the rights of the holders
of the Series F Warrants to provide that, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Series F Warrants) that is not
within our control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the holder of a Series F Warrant shall only be
entitled to receive from the Company or any successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at
the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of such Series F Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of our common
stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of
Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction;
provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction,
such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the successor entity (which such successor entity may be
the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction..

May
2024 Private Placements
Series
F-1 Private Placement
On
May 20, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Series F-1 Purchase Agreement”) with certain
accredited investors (the “Series F-1 Investors”) pursuant to which it agreed to sell to the Series F-1 Investors (i) an
aggregate of 5,050 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series F-1 Preferred Stock, initially convertible into up to 2,780,839
shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.816 per share, (ii) short-term warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 2,780,839
shares of Common Stock (the “Series F-1 Short-Term Warrants”) at an exercise price of $1.816 per share, and (iii) warrants
to acquire up to an aggregate of 2,780,839 shares of Common Stock (the “Series F-1 Long-Term Warrants,” and collectively
with the Series F-1 Short-Term Warrants, the “Series F-1 Warrants”) at an exercise price of $1.816 per share (collectively,
the “Series F-1 Private Placement”). The closing of the Series F-1 Private Placements occurred on May 23, 2024 (the “Series
F-1 Closing Date”).
Series
F-1 Preferred Stock
The
Series F-1 Preferred Stock became convertible upon issuance into Common Stock (the “Series F-1 Conversion Shares”) at the
election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.816 (the “Series F-1 Conversion Price”). The Series
F-1 Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject
to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common
Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Series F-1 Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions).
The
Company is required to redeem the Series F-1 Preferred Stock in seven (7) equal monthly installments, commencing on December 1, 2024.
The amortization payments due upon such redemption are payable, at the Company’s election, in cash at 105% of the applicable Installment
Redemption Amount (as defined in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations), or subject to certain limitations, in shares of Common
Stock valued at the lower of (i) the Series F-1 Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (A) 80% of the average of the
three lowest closing prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the thirty consecutive trading day period ending and including
the trading day immediately prior to the date the amortization payment is due or (B) $0.364, which is 20% of the “Minimum Price”
(as defined in Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635) on the date in which the Series F-1 Stockholder Approval (as defined herein) was obtained
or, in any case, such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Capital Market, and, in each case, subject to adjustment
for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events, which amortization amounts are subject
to certain adjustments as set forth in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations (the “Series F-1 Floor Price”).
The
holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends of 10% per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable in arrears
monthly in cash or shares of Common Stock at the Company’s option, in accordance with the terms of the Series F-1 Certificate of
Designations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations),
the Series F-1 Preferred Stock will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the
Series F-1 Preferred Stock are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment. The holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock
are entitled to vote with holders of the Common Stock on as as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Series
F-1 Preferred Stock is entitled to be calculated assuming a conversion price of $2.253 per share, which was the Minimum Price applicable
immediately before the execution and delivery of the Series F-1 Purchase Agreement, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations
as set forth in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations.
58
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company’s ability to settle conversions and make amortization and dividend make-whole payments using shares
of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations. Further, the Series F-1 Certificate
of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of, or as part of any amortization payment or dividend make-whole payment under, the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations
or Series F-1 Warrants.
Series
F-1 Warrants
Pursuant
to the Series F-1 Private Placement, the Company issued to investors (i) the Series F-1 Long-Term Warrants to purchase 2,780,839 shares
of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $1.816 per share (subject to adjustment), for a period of five years from the date of issuance
and (ii) the Series F-1 Short-Term Warrants to purchase 2,780,839 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $1.816 per share
(subject to adjustment), for a period of eighteen months from the date of issuance.
The
exercise price of the Series F-1 Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F-1 Warrants are subject to customary
adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full
ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common
Stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment to the
exercise price, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F-1 Warrants will be increased proportionately.
On
August 16, 2024, the Company entered into (i) an Amendment (the “Series F-1 Long Term Warrant Amendment”) with the Series
F-1 Investors, effective as of June 30, 2024 relating to the Series F-1 Long Term Warrants, and (ii) an Amendment (the “Series
F-1 Short-Term Warrant Amendment” and, together with the Series F-1 Long Term Warrant Amendment, the “Series F-1 Warrant
Amendments”) with the Series F-1 Investors, effective as of June 30, 2024 relating to the Series F-1 Short Term Warrants. The Series
F-1 Warrant Amendments modified certain terms of the Series F-1 Warrants relating to the rights of the holders of the Series F-1 Warrants
to provide that, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Series F-1 Warrants) that is not within the Company’s
control, including the Fundamental Transaction not being approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the holder of the Series
F-1 Warrant shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in
the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Series F-1 Warrants) of the unexercised portion of such Series F-1
Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction.
Additionally, the Series F-1 Warrant Amendments amend the definition of Black Scholes Value related to the volatility input which is
now an expected volatility equal to the 30 day volatility, obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing
a 365 day annualization factor) as of the trading day immediately following the earliest to occur of (1) the public disclosure of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction and (2) the date of a holder’s request. The modification resulted in the reclassification of
the Series F-1 Warrants to be considered equity classified as they were no longer in the scope of ASC 815. In accordance with ASC 815-40,
the Company remeasured the Series F-1 Warrants at fair value as of July 25, 2024, the effective date of the modifications, and recognized
the change in fair value as a non-cash loss and reclassified the Series F-1 Warrants to additional paid-in capital as of July 25, 2024.
Series
G Private Placement
On
May 20, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Series G Purchase Agreement”) and collectively
with the Series F-1 Purchase Agreement, each a “Purchase Agreement” and collectively, the “Purchase Agreements”)
with certain accredited investors (the “Series G Investors” and collectively with the Series F-1 Investors, the “Investors”),
pursuant to which it agreed to sell to the Series G Investors (i) an aggregate of 8,950 shares of the Company’s newly-designated
Series G Preferred Stock, initially convertible into up to 4,928,416 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a conversion price

Stock (the “Series G Long-Term Warrants,” and collectively with the Series G Short-Term Warrants, the “Series G Warrants”)
at an exercise price of $1.816 per share (collectively, the “Series G Private Placement” and collectively with the Series
F-1 Private Placement, each a “Private Placement” and collectively, the “Private Placements”). The closing of
the Series G Private Placement occurred on May 23, 2024 (the “Series G Closing Date” and, together with the Series F-1 Closing
Date, the “Closing Date”)).
Series
G Preferred Stock
The
Series G Preferred Shares became convertible upon issuance into Common Stock (the “Series G Conversion Shares”) at the election
of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.816 (the “Series G Conversion Price”). The Series G Conversion
Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based
adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at
a price below the then-applicable Series G Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). At any time after the issuance date of the
Series G Preferred Shares, the Company has the option to redeem in cash all or any portion of the shares of Series G Preferred Shares
then outstanding at a premium upon notice by the Company to all holders of the Series G Preferred Shares.
The
holders of the Series G Preferred Shares will be entitled to dividends of 10% per annum, compounded monthly, which will be payable in
arrears monthly at the holder’s option (i) in cash, (ii) “in kind” in the form of additional shares of Series G Preferred
Shares (the “PIK Shares”) or (iii) in combination thereof, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate
of Designations of the Series G Preferred Shares (the “Series G Certificate of Designations”). Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series G Certificate of Designations), the Series G Preferred Stock will accrue
dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Series G Preferred Shares are also entitled
to receive a dividend make-whole payment. The holders of the Series G Preferred Shares will be entitled to vote with holders of the Common
Stock on as as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Series G Preferred Share is entitled to be calculated
assuming a conversion price of $2.253 per share, which was the Minimum Price (as defined in Rule 5635 of the Rule of the Nasdaq Stock
Market) applicable immediately before the execution and delivery of the Series G Purchase Agreement, subject to certain beneficial ownership
limitations as set forth in the Series G Certificate of Designations.
59
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company’s ability to settle conversions and make dividend make-whole payments using shares of Common Stock is
subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series G Certificate of Designations. Further, the Series G Certificate of Designations
contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation, which applies to each Series G Investor other than PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc., after
giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Shares or as part of any dividend
make-whole payment under the Series G Certificate of Designations.
On
June 17, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Series G Amendment”) with the Required Holders (as defined
in the Series G Certificate of Designations). Pursuant to the Series G Amendment, the Required Holders agreed to amend the Series G Certificate
of Designations by filing a Certificate of Amendment (“Series G Certificate of Amendment”) to the Series G Certificate of
Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”) to increase the number of authorized
shares of Series G Preferred Stock from 8,950 to 12,826,273, in order to authorize a sufficient number of shares of Series G Preferred
Stock for the payment of PIK Shares. On June 17, 2024, the Company filed the Series G Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of
State, thereby amending the Series G Certificate of Designations. The Series G Certificate of Amendment became effective with the Secretary
of State upon filing.
On
August 8, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “August Series G Amendment”) with the Required Holders
(as defined in the Series G Certificate of Designations). Pursuant to the August Series G Amendment, the Required Holders agreed to amend
the Series G Certificate of Designations by filing a Certificate of Amendment (“August Series G Certificate of Amendment”)
to the Series G Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State to adjust the calculation of the PIK Shares. On August 8, 2024,
the Company filed the August Series G Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State, thereby amending the Series G Certificate
of Designations. The August Series G Certificate of Amendment became effective with the Secretary of State upon filing.
Series
G Warrants
Pursuant
to the Series G Private Placement, the Company issued to investors (i) the Series G Long-Term Warrants to purchase 4,928,416 shares of
Common Stock, with an exercise price of $1.816 per share (subject to adjustment), for a period of five years from the date of issuance
and (ii) the Series G Short-Term Warrants to purchase 4,928,416 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $1.816 per share (subject
to adjustment), for a period of eighteen months from the date of issuance.
The
exercise price of the Series G Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series G Warrants are subject to customary
adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full
ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common
Stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment to the
exercise price, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series G Warrants will be increased proportionately.
On
August 16, 2024, the Company entered into (i) an Amendment (the “Series G Long Term Warrant Amendment”) with the Series G
Investors, effective as of June 30, 2024 relating to the Series G Long Term Warrants, and (ii) an Amendment (the “Series G Short
Term Warrant Amendment” and, together with the Series G Long Term Warrant Amendment, the “Series G Warrant Amendments”)
with the Series G Investors, effective as of June 30, 2024 relating to the Series G Short Term Warrants. The Series G Warrant Amendments
modified certain terms of the Series G Warrants relating to the rights of the holders of the Series G Warrants to provide that, in the
event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Series G Warrants) that is not within the Company’s control, including the
Fundamental Transaction not being approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the holder of the Series G Warrant shall only be
entitled to receive from the Company or any successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at
the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Series G Warrants) of the unexercised portion of such Series G Warrant, that is being offered
and paid to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction. Additionally, the Series
G Warrant Amendments amend the definition of Black Scholes Value related to the volatility input which is now an expected volatility
equal to the 60 day volatility, obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization
factor) as of the trading day immediately following the earliest to occur of (1) the public disclosure of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction and (2) the date of a holder’s request. The modification resulted in the reclassification of the Series G Warrants
to be considered equity classified as they were no longer in the scope of ASC 815. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company remeasured
the Series G Warrants at fair value as of July 25, 2024, the effective date of the modifications, and recognized the change in fair value
as a non-cash gain and reclassified the warrant liability to additional paid-in capital as of July 25, 2024.
Private
Placement Warrants
In
connection with the Private Placements, pursuant to (A) an engagement letter (the “GPN Agreement”) with GP Nurmenkari Inc.
(“GPN”) and (B) an engagement letter (the “Palladium Agreement,” and collectively with the GPN Agreement, the
“Engagement Letters”) with Palladium Capital Group, LLC (“Palladium,” and collectively with GPN, the “Placement

pursuant to which, the Company agreed to (i) pay the Placement Agents a cash fee equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of each Private Placement
(including any cash proceeds realized by the Company from the exercise of the Series F Warrants), (ii) reimbursement and payment of certain
expenses, and (iii) issue to the Placement Agents on the Closing Date, warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 693,833 of shares of
Common Stock to each Placement Agent, which is equal to 3% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying the securities
issued in each Private Placement, including upon exercise of any Series F Warrants, with terms identical to the Series G Long-Term Warrants
and Series F-1 Long-Term Warrants.
Registration
Rights Agreements
In
connection with the Series G Private Placement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Series G Investors (the
“Series G Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to file a resale registration statement (the
“Series G Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale (A) 200% of the Series G Conversion Shares, (B)

Critical
Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination
of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may
be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements
include estimates associated with the determinations of the fair-market value of the preferred stock, stock-based compensation, and the
impairment analysis of intangibles.
Our
financial position, results of operations and cash flows are impacted by the accounting policies we have adopted. In order to get a full
understanding of our financial statements, one must have a clear understanding of the accounting policies employed. A summary of our
critical accounting policies is presented within the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q.
Our
management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities in our financial statements. These items are monitored and analyzed by us for changes in facts and circumstances,
and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events,
and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions
on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our
critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from those previously reported in our Annual Report for the year ended December
31, 2023, on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024.

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the
end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter ended 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
From
time to time we are party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Future litigation may be necessary
to defend ourselves and our customers by determining the scope, enforceability, and validity of third-party proprietary rights or to
establish our proprietary rights. For a description of certain legal proceedings, please read Note 7 to the interim condensed consolidated
financial statements, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
The
following description of risk factors includes any material changes to, and supersedes the description of, risk factors associated with
our business, financial condition and results of operations previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual
Report for the year ended December 31, 2023 on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024. Our business, financial condition and
operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described
below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially
from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially
and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
The
following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding other
statements in this Form 10-Q. The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements
and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q.
Holders
of our Series F Preferred Stock, Series F-1 Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock are entitled to certain payments under the applicable
Certificate of Designations that may be paid in cash, in shares of Common Stock or in additional shares of Series G Preferred Stock depending
on the circumstances. If we make these payments in cash, it may require the expenditure of a substantial portion of our cash resources.
If we make these payments in Common Stock, it may result in substantial dilution to the holders of our Common Stock.
Under
the Series F Certificate of Designations and Series F-1 Certificate of Designations, we are required to redeem the shares of the shares
of the Series F Preferred Stock and Series F-1 Preferred Stock in equal monthly installments commencing July 1, 2023, and December 1,
2024, respectively. Such holders are also entitled to receive dividends, payable in arrears monthly, and dividends payable on installment
dates shall be paid as part of the applicable installment amount. Installment amounts are payable, at the Company’s election, in
shares of Common Stock or, subject to certain limitations, in cash. Installment amounts paid in cash must be paid in the amount of 105%
of the applicable payment amount due.
Our
ability to make payments due to the holders of our Series F Preferred Stock and Series F-1 Preferred Stock using shares of Common Stock
is subject to certain limitations set forth in the applicable Certificate of Designations. If we are unable to make installment payments
in shares of Common Stock, we may be forced to make such payments in cash. Additionally, the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock
are entitled to dividends of 10% per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable in arrears monthly, at the holder’s sole discretion,
in cash, or “in kind” in the form of additional Series G Preferred Stock, or a combination thereof. If we do not have sufficient
cash resources to make these payments, we may need to raise additional equity or debt capital, and we cannot provide any assurance that
we will be successful in doing so. If are unable to raise sufficient capital to meet our payment obligations, we may need to delay, reduce
or eliminate certain research and development programs or other operations, sell some or all of our assets or merge with another entity.
Our
ability to make payments due to the holders of our Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series F-1 Preferred Stock using
cash is also limited by the amount of cash we have on hand at the time such payments are due as well as certain provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Further, we intend to make the installment payments due to holders of Series F Preferred
Stock and Series F-1 Preferred Stock in the form of Common Stock to the extent allowed under the applicable Certificate of Designation
and applicable law in order to preserve our cash resources. The issuance of shares of Common Stock to the holders of our Series F Preferred
Stock and Series F-1 Preferred Stock with increase the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and could result in substantial dilution
to the existing holders of our Common Stock.
62
The
Certificate of Designations for the Series F Preferred Stock, Series F-1 Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock and the warrants
issued concurrently therewith contain anti-dilution provisions that may result in the reduction of the conversion price of the applicable
preferred stock or the exercise price of such warrants in the future. These features may increase the number of shares of Common Stock
being issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock, Series F-1 Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock or upon the exercise
of the warrants.
The
Series F Certificate of Designations, Series F-1 Certificate of Designations and Series G Certificate of Designations and the warrants
issued concurrently therewith, contain anti-dilution provisions, which provisions require the lowering of the applicable conversion price
or exercise, as then in effect, to the purchase price of equity or equity-linked securities issued in subsequent offerings. If in the
future, while any of our Series F Preferred Stock, Series F-1 Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series F Warrants, Series F-1
Warrants or Series G Warrants are outstanding, we issue securities for a consideration per share of Common Stock (the “New Issuance
Price”) that is less than the applicable conversion price of our preferred stock or the exercise price of the Series F Warrants,
Series F-1 Warrants or Series G Warrants, as then in effect, we will be required, subject to certain limitations and adjustments as provided
in the applicable Certificate of Designations or the applicable warrants, to reduce the conversion price or the exercise price to be
equal to the New Issuance Price, which will result in a greater number of shares of Common Stock being issuable upon conversion or exercise,
as applicable, which in turn will increase the dilutive effect of such conversion or exercise on existing holders of our Common Stock.
It is possible that we will not have a sufficient number of shares available to satisfy the conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock,
Series F-1 Preferred Stock or Series G Preferred Stock or the exercise of the Series F Warrants, Series F-1 Warrants or Series G Warrants
if we enter into a future transaction that reduces the applicable conversion price or exercise price. If we do not have a sufficient
number of available shares for any such conversions or any such warrant exercises, we may need to seek shareholder approval to increase
the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock, which may not be possible and will be time consuming and expensive. The potential
for such additional issuances may depress the price of our Common Stock regardless of our business performance and may make it difficult
for us to raise additional equity capital while any of our Series F Preferred Stock, Series F-1 Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock
or Series F Warrants, Series F-1 Warrants or Series G Warrants are outstanding.
Under
the February 2023 SPA and Purchase Agreements, we are subject to certain restrictive covenants that may make it difficult to procure
additional financing.
The
February 2023 SPA, pursuant to which we issued the Series F Preferred Stock, contains, among others, the following restrictive covenants:
(i) until all of the Series F Warrants are exercised, we agreed not to enter into any variable rate transactions; and (ii) until the
later of no shares of Series F Preferred Stock being outstanding and the maturity date of the Series F Preferred Stock, the opportunity
to participate in any subsequent securities offerings by us. The Series F-1 Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we issued the Series
F-1 Preferred Stock, contains, among others, the following restrictive covenants: (i) until all of the Series F-1 Warrants are exercised,
we agreed not to enter into any variable rate transactions; and (ii) until the later of no shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock being
outstanding and the maturity date, the opportunity to participate in any subsequent securities offerings by us. The Series G Purchase
Agreement, pursuant to which we issued the Series G Preferred Stock, contains, among others, the following restrictive covenants: (i)
until all of the Series G Warrants are exercised, we agreed not to enter into any variable rate transactions; and (ii) until the later
of no shares of Series G Preferred Stock being outstanding and the second anniversary of the Series G Closing Date, the opportunity to
participate in any subsequent securities offerings by us.
If
we require additional funding while these restrictive covenants remain in effect, we may be unable to effect a financing transaction
while remaining in compliance with the terms of the February 2023 SPA or Purchase Agreements, or we may be forced to seek a waiver from
the investors party to the February 2023 SPA and Purchase Agreements.
We
may not be able to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, which could harm our competitive position.
Our
success and future revenue growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We will primarily rely on
patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure agreements and other methods, to protect our proprietary
technologies or processes. It is possible that competitors or other unauthorized third parties may obtain, copy, use or disclose proprietary
technologies and processes, despite efforts by the us to protect our proprietary technologies and processes. While we hold rights in
several patents, there can be no assurances that any additional patents will be issued, or additional rights will be granted, to us.
Even if new patents are issued, the claims allowed may not be sufficiently broad to adequately protect our technology and processes.
Our competitors may also be able to develop similar technology independently or design around the patents to which we have rights.
Currently,
the Company has 17 issued U.S. patents, 68 foreign patents, two pending U.S. patent applications and 7 foreign patent applications pending
in such jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, China, European Union, Israel, Japan, and South Korea and one pending international patent
application, which if issued are expected to expire between 2036 and 2041. Although we expect to obtain additional patents and in-licenses
in the future, there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully obtain such patents or in-licenses in a timely manner or at
all. Further, any of our rights to existing patents, and any future patents issued to us, may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented.
As such, any rights granted under these patents may not provide us with meaningful protection. Even if foreign patents are granted, effective
enforcement in foreign countries may not be available. If our patents or rights to patents do not adequately protect our technology or
processes, competitors may be able to offer products similar to our products.
