Since 2017, the Company has operated as a biotechnology company with a diverse portfolio of small-molecule anticancer and antiviral therapeutics and their related patent technology. In an effort to enhance shareholder value, in development. TheJune of 2022, the Company formed a wholly owned financial services subsidiary, Dominari Financial Inc. (“Dominari Financial”), with the intent of shifting the Company’s primary operating focus away from biotechnology to the fintech and financial services industries. Through Dominari Financial, the Company acquired Dominari Securities LLC (“Dominari Securities”), an introducing broker-dealer, registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Additionally, AIkido Labs, LLC (“Aikido Labs”), another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is in the process of winding down its historical pipeline consistsof biotechnology assets consisting of patented technologytechnologies from leading universities and researchers. The Company’s innovative therapeutic drug pipeline is currently being advanced through strong collaborations with renowned educational institutions,researchers, including the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Maryland, Baltimore and Wake Forest University. The Company’s oncology therapeutics include prospective treatments for pancreatic cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The Company is also developing a broad-spectrum antiviral platform,leukemia. Aikido Labs has historically explored opportunities in which the lead compounds have activity in cell-based assays against multiple viruses including Influenza virus, Ebolavirus and Marburg virus, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19.

As a result of the Company’s biotechnology research and development and associated investments and acquisitions, its business portfolio now focuses on the treatment of three different cancers and multiple types of viral infections. The Company’s pancreatic drug candidate, DHA-dFdC, developed at and licensed from the University of Texas at Austin, is a new compound that it hopes will become the next generation of chemotherapy treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer. DHA-dFdC overcomes tumor cell resistance to current chemotherapeutic drugs and is well tolerated in preclinical toxicity tests. Preclinical studies have also indicated that DHA-dFdC inhibits pancreatic cancer cellhigh growth (up to 100,000-fold more potent that gemcitabine, a current standard therapy), accumulates preferentially in pancreatic tissueindustries and has demonstrated activities against other cancers,equity holdings including leukemia, lungAnduril Industries, Inc, Databricks, Inc., Discord, Inc., Epic Games, Inc., Payward, Inc. dba Kraken, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. dba SpaceX, Tevva Motors Ltd., Thrasio, LLC, and melanoma.

The licensed technology comprises broadly acting pan-viral inhibitory compounds targeting multiple viral pathogens. The technology was invented by UMB scientists Drs. Matthew Frieman, Alexander MacKerell and Stuart Watson. The Company has also executed a Sponsored Research Agreement with UMB to support the development of the technology under the direction of these inventors at UMB.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those previously disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report other than those discussed below.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2022, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.


The Company’s policy is to consolidate all entities that it controls by ownership of a majority of the membership interest or outstanding voting stock. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AIkidowholly owned subsidiaries, Aikido Labs, LLC.Dominari Financial, and Dominari Securities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)Results for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for thea full year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022.

 

Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with USU.S. GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include stock-based compensation, the valuation of investments, the valuation of convertible notenotes receivable and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Deposits with clearing broker

Deposits with Dominari Securities’ clearing broker consisted of approximately $7.1 million held in money market funds and liquid insured deposits maintained by the Company with its clearing broker as of June 30, 2023.

Leases

 

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred (see Note 10 - Leases).

Revenue

The Company recognizes revenues under ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”)Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or performance obligations for services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services.


Significant Accounting Policies

The following provides detailed information on the recognition of the Company’s revenues from contracts with customers:

 

Underwriting services include underwriting and placement agent services in both the equity and debt capital markets, including private equity placements, initial public offerings, follow-on offerings, and underwriting and distributing public and private debt. Underwriting and placement agent revenues are recognized at a point in time on trade-date, as the client obtains the control and benefit of the underwriting offering at that point. Costs associated with underwriting transactions are deferred until the related revenue is recognized or the engagement is otherwise concluded and are recorded on a gross basis within the general and administrative line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as the Company is acting as a principal in the arrangement. Any expenses reimbursed by the Company’s clients are recognized as other income.

Commissions are earned by executing, transactions for clients primarily in equity, equity-related, and debt products. Commission revenues associated with trade execution are recognized at a point in time on trade-date. Commissions revenues are generally paid on settlement date and the Company records receivables to account for timing between trade-date and payment on settlement date.

Recently adopted accounting standards

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). This update amends Topic 805 to add contract assets and contract liabilities to the list of exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles that apply to business combinations and to require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in accordance with ASC 606. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2023. There have beenwas no material changes inimpact to the Company’s significantunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the implementation of ASU 2021-08.

Effect of new accounting policiespronouncements not yet adopted

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to those previously disclosedContractual Sale Restrictions, to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed withfair value of the SEC on March 28, 2022.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is recorded at costequity security. ASU 2022-03 also clarifies that an entity cannot recognize and is presentedmeasure a contractual sale restriction as a reductionseparate unit of stockholders’ equity.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yetaccount. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 may be early adopted and are effective accounting pronouncements, ifon a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently adopted, would have an effectevaluating the impact of the amendments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and whether it will early adopt the amendments in ASU 2022-03

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Leases, to require entities to classify and account for leases with related parties on the basis of legally enforceable terms and conditions of the arrangement. The amendments are effective in periods beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future consolidated financial statements and whether it will early adopt the amendments in ASU 2023-01.

Effect of new accounting pronouncements to be adopted in future periods

The Company reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.


 

Note 4. FPS Acquisition

AIKIDO PHARMA INC.

On September 9, 2022, Dominari Financial entered into a membership interest purchase agreement, as amended and restated on March 27, 2023 (the “FPS Purchase Agreement”) with Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust (“Seller”), a Connecticut bank, for the purchase of its wholly owned subsidiary, Fieldpoint Private Securities, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“FPS”), that is a broker-dealer registered with FINRA and an investment adviser registered with the SEC (the “FPS Acquisition”). Pursuant to the terms of the FPS Purchase Agreement, Dominari Financial purchased from the Seller 100% of the membership interests in FPS (the “FPS Membership Interests”). FPS’s registered broker-dealer and investment adviser businesses were renamed and will operate as Dominari Securities, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dominari Financial. The FPS Purchase Agreement provides for Dominari Financial’s acquisition of FPS’s Membership Interests in two closings, the first of which occurred on October 4, 2022 (the “Initial Closing”), at which Dominari Financial paid to the Seller $2.0 million in consideration for a transfer by the Seller to Dominari Financial of 20% of the FPS Membership Interests.  Following the Initial Closing, FPS filed a continuing membership application requesting approval for a change of ownership, control, or business operations with FINRA in accordance with FINRA Rule 1017 (the “Rule 1017 Application”).  The Rule 1017 Application was approved by FINRA on March 20, 2023. The second closing (the “Second Closing”) occurred on March 27, 2023. Dominari Financial paid to the Seller an additional approximate $1.6 million consideration for a transfer by the Seller to Dominari Financial of the remaining 80% of the FPS Membership Interests. 

Consideration Transferred

The FPS Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805.

Under the terms of the FPS Purchase Agreement and subsequent Amendments and Side Letters, 100% of the FPS Membership Interests were acquired for cash consideration of approximately $3.4 million, which reflected the fair value of net assets acquired, plus a $1 purchase price. At March 31, 2023, Dominari Financial had not finalized the purchase accounting related to the fair value of assets acquired in the FPS Acquisition. Pursuant to the Initial Closing and Second Closing, Dominari Financial had wired a total of approximately $3.6 million in cash to the Seller. The purchase price allocation identified net assets of approximately $3.4 million, resulting in a receivable due from the Seller for approximately $0.2 million. The receivable is not included within the consideration transferred as part of the FPS Acquisition but is included within prepaid expenses and other assets within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed of FPS were recorded as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values, and consolidated with those of the Company. Acquisition-related costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are expensed in the periods in which costs are incurred. The Company incurred approximately $0.3 million of transaction costs associated with the FPS Acquisition. The transaction costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Note 8.9. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.


AIKIDO PHARMA INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited) 

The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value atas of June 30, 20222023, and December 31, 20212022 ($ in thousands):

The Company’s license with UTA (the “License”) is a royalty-bearing exclusive license that, unless terminated earlier, continues until the last date of expiration or termination of the patent rights granted under the License (the “Patent Rights”). With regard to DHA-dFdC, the Patent Rights include two issued U.S. Patents, several filed U.S. patent applications and an application filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) that is currently being prosecuted to secure rights in foreign countries. So far, two patents have issued, U.S. Patent No. 10,463,684 (the “684 Patent”) and U.S. Patent No. 11,219,633 (the “633 Patent”), which contain claims covering the compound DHA-dFdC. Assuming all maintenance fees are timely paid, the 684 Patent is expected to expire on October 27, 2035 and the 633 Patent is expected to expire on May 28, 2035. The Company’s license with UTA also covers a U.S. provisional patent application relating to the solid lipid nanoparticle carrier matrix for the drug, which was filed on June 6, 2019. In June of 2020, at the request of the Company, UTA filed both a U.S. non-provisional utility patent application as well as a PCT application relating to the lipid nanoparticle carrier matrix claiming the June 6, 2019 priority date of the provisional application. The PCT application has now entered the national phase in Europe, China and India. Patent prosecution on all pending patent applications is currently underway. The Company is currently engaged in research and development activities related to the manufacture of DHA-dFdC, which have thus far confirmed the critical chemical steps required for the manufacturing and scalability of the process. In collaboration with our contract manufacturing organization, Parimer Scientific, we are currently optimizing the manufacturing procedure for DHA-dFdC. Our manufacturing activities were initially delayed several months due to COVID-19 because Parimer was recruited by the U.S. and South Carolina governments to manufacture hand sanitizer for use in hospitals. For that reason, our manufacturing activities did not begin in earnest until the beginning of the third quarter of 2020. Once manufacturing began, shipping delays due to the pandemic further slowed progress. Further delay resultedfractional shares resulting from the inherent difficulty in producing scalable quantities of the key intermediate compound in the process. Despite these delays, we now have successfully replicated the synthesis as reported in the literature, have developed a new procedure for the production of the key intermediate on a large scale, and are currently optimizing the procedurereverse stock split amounted to ensure that incorporation of our new procedure into the overall manufacturing process will result in levels of DHA-dFdC on an acceptably large scale. In tandem, the Company will also develop the solid lipid nanoparticle delivery system containing DHA-dFdC to optimize the manufacturing process for size and consistency of the particles. We plan to then develop the drug formulation for oral and intravenous delivery via the solid lipid nanoparticles for use in future animal testing. We do not currently have FDA approval, which will eventually be required to begin administering DHA-dFdC to patients as part of any clinical trials. Animal studies will be a necessary prerequisite to filing an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) with the FDA. Depending upon the success of the animal studies, the Company’s development activities will also include preparing the IND for submission to the FDA. The Company’s formulation is a new chemotherapy oral dosage form “repurposing” the chemotherapeutic agent gemcitabine, which we believe enables it to be developed for use in patients following a special regulatory pathway codified in Section 505(b)(2) of the FDA rules. Section 505(b)(2) was enacted to enable sponsors to seek New Drug Application (“NDA”) approval for novel repurposed drugs without the need for such sponsors to undertake certain time consuming and expensive safety studies. Proceeding under this regulatory pathway, we hope to be able to rely upon all of the publicly available safety and toxicology data with respect to gemcitabine in our FDA submissions. We believe that this path will dramatically reduce the required clinical development efforts, costs and risks as compared to what would be required of us if we were required to conduct the entire scope of trials required for new chemical entities that are not eligible to be reviewed pursuant to the Section 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway. We estimate that by using the Section 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, the clinical development process may be several years shorter than is required for a new chemical entity, and the FDA approval process may be six to nine months shorter than the typical eighteen-month period, which we believe may result in lower development costs and shorter development time. As of the date hereof, we have not submitted an IND or an NDA to the FDA. Our AML and ALL compounds, developed at Wake Forest University, are targeted therapeutics designed to overcome multiple resistance mechanisms observed with the current standard of care. In addition, we are constantly seeking to grow our pipeline to treat unmet medical needs in oncology.


In addition, the Company owns an exclusive world-wide license to patented technology from the University of Maryland Baltimore (“UMB”). Our license is for a broad-spectrum antiviral drug platform. The licensed technology is a broadly acting pan-viral inhibitory compound with efficacy against multiple viral pathogens. The technology works to inhibit replication of multiple viruses including Influenza virus, SARS-CoV (coronavirus), MERS-CoV, Ebolavirus and Marburg virus. The technology is covered by two patent applications already on file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Company’s license covers two U.S. provisional applications, which were consolidated and timely filed as a PCT application on June 5, 2020, commencing patent prosecution. Any patents issued from this application are expected to expire 20 years later, on June 5, 2040, unless the term is extended by the patent office. The PCT application describing the technology to which the Company is licensed was published on December 12, 2020 by the World Intellectual Property Organization under International Publication Number WO 2020/247860 A1. The PCT application has now entered the national phase in the USPTO (U.S. Application Serial No. 17/616,586) and is currently under active prosecution. The Company’s license has been amended to cover a second PCT application, which was published on June 9, 2022 by the World Intellectual Property Organization under International Publication Number WO 2022/120207 A1. Currently, the Company and UMB are collaborating to identify chemical structures that are as effective as, or more effective than, the lead compounds covered in the PCT application. The UMB inventors are Drs. Matthew Frieman, Alexander MacKerell and Stuart Watson. The Company has also executed a Sponsored Research Agreement with UMB to support the development of the technology.

Effective March 23, 2020, and as amended and restated on November 24, 2020, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co. entered into a rights agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) The Rights Agreement provides each stockholder of record a dividend distribution of one “right” for each outstanding share of common stock. Rights become exercisable at the earlier of ten days following: (1) a public announcement that an acquirer has purchased or has the right to acquire 4.99% or more of our common stock, in connection with, (x) the Company consolidating, or merging into any other person, (y) any person consolidates or merges with or into the Company or (z) the Company sells or otherwise transfers to any person or persons, in one or more transactions, assets or earning power aggregating 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company, or (2) the commencement of a tender offer which would result in an offer or beneficially owning 10% or more of our outstanding common stock. All rights held by an acquirer or offer or expire on the announced acquisition date, and all rights expire at the close of business on March 23, 2023, subject to further extension. Each right entitles a stockholder to acquire, at a price of $5.00 per one one-thousandth of a share of our Series A preferred stock, subject to adjustments, which carries voting and dividend rights similar to one share of our common stock. The purchase price of the preferred stock fractional amount is subject to adjustment for certain events as described in the Rights Agreement. At the discretion of a majority of the Board and within a specified time period, we may redeem all of the rights at a price of $0.0001 per right. The Board may also amend any provisions of the Rights Agreement prior to exercise.$26,000.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We have identified the accounting policies that we believe require application of management’s most subjective judgments, often requiring the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Our actual results may differ substantially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies are disclosed in our annual report on Form 10K for the year endedand estimates since December 31, 20212022. The following represent those critical accounting policies that we believe most significantly impact the judgments and there have been no material changes to such policy or estimates duringused in the six months ended June 30, 2022.preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 

 

Critical Accounting Estimates


Long-term investments

 

The preparationEffective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01 and related ASU 2018-03 and ASU 2019-04 concerning recognition and measurement of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inassets and financial liabilities. In adopting this guidance, the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements. Management considersCompany has made an accounting estimatepolicy election to be critical if:

it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and
changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have material impact in our results of operations or financial condition.

While we base our estimates and judgments on our experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.adopt an adjusted cost method measurement alternative for investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values.

 

SeeFor equity investments that are accounted for using the measurement alternative, the Company initially records equity investments at cost but is required to adjust the carrying value of such equity investments through earnings when there is an observable transaction involving the same or a similar investment with the same issuer or upon an impairment.

Results of Operations

 

Three months endedMonths Ended June 30, 20222023, compared to three months endedthe Three Months Ended June 30, 20212022

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized approximately $0.07 million in revenue from operations, primarily driven by the underwriting revenue earned by Dominari Securities. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, we incurred a loss from operations of approximately $9.0 million and $2.3 million, as compared to $2.8 million during the comparable priorrespectively. The consistent loss in operations year period. The decrease in lossover year was primarily attributedattributable to $81,000 decrease in in general and administrative expenses, $0.3 million decrease research and development expense, and $91,000 decrease in research and development expense related to development of our license technology.the following:

i.An approximate $6.8 million increase in general and administrative expenses – driven by approximately $0.02 million and $0.8 million of professional fees (legal, consulting, accounting, etc.) incurred to establish and operate Dominari Financial and Dominari Securities, respectively. In addition, the Company also incurred increased compensation expenses of approximately $6.3 million due to growing operations.

ii.An approximate $0.03 million decrease in research and development expenses – attributable to the Company’s strategic business decision to transition away from the biotechnology industry and into financial services. The result is a decrease in research and development related expenses by almost 100%.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, other expenseincome (expenses) was approximately $2.8 million as compared to other income of approximately $1.4 million during the comparable prior year period. The increase in other expense was primarily attributed to a $0.3 million decreaseand $(2.8) million, respectively. The activity for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, is primarily a result of overall volatility in investment valuations due to macroeconomic uncertainty (i.e. inflation, global tensions in the Ukraine, etc.) impacting marketable securities and the change in fair value of investmentshort and $4.0 million increase in loss on marketable securities.long-term investments. Specifically:

i.Marketable securities – we recognized a gain of approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of approximately $2.6 million in losses over prior year is a direct result of a decrease in unrealized losses of approximately $2.6 million and increase in dividend income of approximately $0.1 million, offset by an increase in realized loss of approximately $0.08 million. The decreases were driven by both market improvement and decrease in sale activity resulting in fewer realized losses.

ii.Short-term and long-term investments –The changes over the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are a function of observable market transactions which resulted in a decrease in unrealized loss of approximately $0.8 million on the adjusted fair value of the investments during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.


 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023, compared to the Six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to six months ended June 30, 2021

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized approximately $0.07 million in revenue from operations, primarily driven by the underwriting revenue earned by Dominari Securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, we incurred a loss from operations of approximately $12.8 million and $6.1 million, as compared to $5.1 million during the comparable priorrespectively. The consistent loss in operations year period. The increase in lossover year was primarily attributedattributable to $0.5 million increase in in general and administrative expenses and $1.7 million increase research and development expense, and was partially offset by $1.1 million decrease in research and development expense related with license acquisition.the following:

i.An approximate $8.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses – driven by approximately $0.1 million and $0.9 million of professional fees (legal, consulting, accounting, etc.) incurred to establish and operate Dominari Financial and Dominari Securities, respectively. In addition, the Company also incurred increased compensation expenses of approximately $6.3 million due to growing operations.

ii.An approximate $2.0 million decrease in research and development expenses – attributable to the Company’s strategic business decision to transition away from the biotechnology industry and into financial services. The result is a decrease in research and development related expenses by almost 100%.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, other expenseincome (expenses) was approximately $2.5$0.4 million as comparedand $(2.5) million, respectively. The activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, is primarily a result of overall volatility in investment valuations due to other expense of approximately $0.2 million duringmacroeconomic uncertainty (i.e. inflation, global tensions in the comparable prior year period. The increase in other expense was primarily attributed to a $3.2 million decrease in loss onUkraine, etc.) impacting marketable securities and was partially offset by $0.7 million increase in the change in fair value of investment.short and long-term investments. Specifically:

 

i.Marketable securities – we recognized a gain of approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of approximately $3.1 million in losses over prior year is a direct result of a decrease in unrealized losses of approximately $2.8 million and increase in dividend income of approximately $0.2 million, offset by an increase in realized loss of approximately $0.08 million. The decreases were driven by both market improvement and decrease in sale activity resulting in fewer realized losses.

The Company experienced very little or no revenue in the last two years and we don’t expect any revenue until a biotechnology product is fully developed which may not occur for many years.

ii.Short-term and long-term investments –The changes over the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are a function of observable market transactions which resulted in a decrease in unrealized loss of approximately $0.2 million on the adjusted fair value of the investments during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We continue to incur ongoing administrative and other expenses, including public company expenses, in excess of corresponding (non-financing related) revenue.expenses. While we continue to implement our business strategy, we intend to finance our activities through:

 

managing current cash and cash equivalents on hand from our past debt and equity offerings;

 
seeking additional funds raised through the sale of additional securities in the future; and

 
seeking additional liquidity through credit facilities or other debt arrangements; and
increasing revenue from its patent portfolios, license fees and new business ventures.arrangements.

 

Our ultimate success is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing and generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. Our business willmay require significant amounts of capital to sustain operations and make the investments it needsthat we need to execute itsour longer-term business plan to support new technologies and help advance innovation.our transition into the financial services industry. Our working capital amounted to approximately $60.7$35.7 million atas of June 30, 2022.2023. We believe our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with the anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. In the event that cash flow from operations is not sufficient to fund our operations, as expected, or if our plans or assumptions change, including if inflation begins to have a greater impact on our business or if we decide to move forward with any activities that require more outlays of cash than originally planned, we may need to obtainraise additional capital sooner than expected. We may raise this additional capital by obtaining additional debt or equity financing, especially if we experience downturns in our business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if we experience significant increases in expense levels resulting from being a publicly-traded company or operations. If we attempt to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we cannot assume that such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, or at all.

The Company plans to pursue its plans regarding research and development of our two pre-clinical products which will require resources beyond those currently, ultimately requiring third party capital. During this time, the Company does not expect to generate revenue and there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of this filing. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.continuing operations.

 


Our ability to obtain capital to implement our growth strategy over the longer term will depend on our future operating performance, financial condition and, more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing. Capital availability will be affected by prevailing conditions in our industry, the global economy, the global financial markets, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Specifically, as a result of recent volatility and weakness in the public markets, due to, among other factors, uncertainty in the global economy and financial markets, it may be much more difficult to raise additional capital, if and when it is needed, unless the public markets become less volatile and stronger at such time that we seek to raise additional capital. In addition, any additional debt service requirements we take on could be based on higher interest rates and shorter maturities and could impose a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition, and the issuance of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to stockholders.

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities -

For the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, net cash used in operations was approximately $13.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively. The cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, is primarily attributable to a net loss of approximately $11.7 million, approximately $0.5 million of realized gain on marketable securities and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $4.6 million, partially offset by $2.7 million respectively.stock-based compensation expense and approximately $0.5 million in unrealized losses on marketable securities. The cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily resulted from a net loss of $8.6 million and change in fair value of long-term investment of $1.4 million and is partially offset by change in fair value of short-term investment of $1.6 million and unrealized loss on marketable securities of $2.3 million.
