CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this QuarterlyAnnual Report on Form 10-Q are considered forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning our business, results of operations, economic performance and/or financial condition, based on management’s current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and projections. Forward-looking statements are included, for example, in the discussions about:

 

 strategy;
 
new product discovery and development;
 
current or pending clinical trials;
 our products’ ability to demonstrate efficacy or an acceptable safety profile;
 
actions by the FDA and other regulatory authorities;
 product manufacturing, including our arrangements with third-party suppliers;
 
product introduction and sales;
 royalties and contract revenues;
 
expenses and net income;
 credit and foreign exchange risk management;
 
liquidity;
 asset and liability risk management;
 the outcome of litigation and other proceedings;
 
intellectual property rights and protection;
 economic factors;
 
competition; and
 legal risks.

 

Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Forward-lookingForward- looking statements generally are identified by the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “aims,” “plans,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “will continue,” “seeks,” “should,” “predict,” “potential,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “target,” “forecast,” “probable,” “possible” or the negative of such terms and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to change and may be affected by risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement in light of new information or future events, except as required by law, although we intend to continue to meet our ongoing disclosure obligations under the U.S. securities laws and other applicable laws.

We caution you that a number of important factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements, and therefore you should not place too much reliance on them. These factors include, among others, those described herein, under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report and in our other public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, and therefore the factors that are noted are not intended to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties that may affect forward-looking statements. If these or other risks and uncertainties materialize, or if the assumptions underlying any of the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, our actual performance and future actions may be materially different from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-lookingforward- looking statements. We can offer no assurance that our estimates or expectations will prove accurate or that we will be able to achieve our strategic and operational goals.

Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “aims,” “plans,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “will continue,” “seeks,” “should,” “predict,” “potential,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “target,” “forecast,” “probable,” “possible” or the negative of such terms and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to change and may be affected by risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement in light of new information or future events, except as required by law, although we intend to continue to meet our ongoing disclosure obligations under the U.S. securities laws and other applicable laws.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

 

 our lack of operating history;
 
our current and future capital requirements and our ability to satisfy our capital needs;
our inability to keep up with industry competition;
 interpretations of current laws and the passages of future laws;
 acceptance of our business model by investors and our ability to raise capital;
 
acceptance of our drug discoverybusiness model by investors and development activities may not result in products that are approved by the applicable regulatory authorities. Even if our drug candidates do obtain regulatory approval they may never achieve market acceptance or commercial success;
ability to raise capital;
 our reliance on key personnel, including our ability to attract and retain scientists;
 
our reliance on third party manufacturing some of which is outside the United States and may therefore be subject to political, economic and other uncertainties, to supply drugs for clinical trials and sales;
 our limited distribution organization with no sales and marketing staff;
 
our being subject to product liability claims;
 our reliance on key personnel, including our ability to attract and retain scientists;
 legislation or regulation that may increase the cost of our business or limit our service and product offerings;
 
risks related to our intellectual property, including our ability to adequately protect intellectual property rights;
 risks related to government regulation, including our ability to obtain approvals for the commercialization of some or all of our drug candidates, and ongoing regulatory obligations and continued regulatory review which may result in significant additional expense and subject us to penalties if we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements; and
 our ability to obtain regulatory approvals in foreign jurisdictions to allow us to market our products internationally.

Moreover, new risks regularly emerge and it is not possible for our management to predict or articulate all risks we face, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this prospectus are based on information available to us on the date of this Annual Report. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this Annual Report.

 

JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we do not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue and did not have such amount as of December 31, 2016,2018, the last day of our last fiscal year. We are electing to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.

 

As an emerging growth company, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

 

 being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this annual report;
 not being requested to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);
 
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and
 exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) our reporting $1 billion or more in annual gross revenues; (ii) the end of fiscal year 2019; (iii) our issuance, in a three year period, of more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million on the last business day of our second fiscal quarterquarter.

Immune Therapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017March 31, 2019

(Unaudited)

 

1.Organization and Description of Business

 

Immune Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”“Company,” “we,” or “our”) was initially incorporated in Florida on December 2, 1993 as Resort Clubs International, Inc. (“Resort Clubs”). It was formed to manage and market golf course properties in resort markets throughout the United States. Galliano International Ltd. (“Galliano”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 1998 and began trading in November 1999 through the filing of a 15C-211. On November 10, 2004, Galliano merged with Resort Clubs. Resort Clubs was the surviving corporation. On August 23, 2010, Resort Clubs changed its name to pH Environmental Inc. (“pH Environmental”).

 

On April 23, 2012, pH Environmental completed a name change to TNI BioTech, Inc., and on April 24, 2012, we executed a share exchange agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. On September 4, 2014, a majority of our shareholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to change our name to Immune Therapeutics, Inc. We filed our name change amendment with the Secretary of State of Florida on October 27, 2014 changing our name to Immune Therapeutics, Inc.

 

The Company currently operates out of Orlando, Florida. In July 2012, the Company’s focus turned to acquiring patents that would protect and advance the development of new uses of opioid-related immune- therapies, such as low dose naltrexone (“LDN”) and Methionine [Met5]-enkephalin (“MENK”). The Company’s therapies are believed to stimulate and/or regulate the immune system in such a way that they provide the potential to treat a variety of diseases. We believe our therapies may be able to correct abnormalities or deficiencies in the immune system in diseases such as HIV infection, autoimmune disease, immune disorders, or cancer; all of which can lead to disease progression and life-threatening situations when the immune system is not functioning optimally.

 

In October 2012, the Company formed TNI BioTech International, Ltd., a BVI company in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, which was set up to allow the Company to market and sell LDN in those countries outside the U.S. in which we have been able to obtain approval to sell the Company’s products.

 

In August 2013, the Company formed its United Kingdom subsidiary, TNI BioTech, LTD (the “UK Subsidiary”). The UK Subsidiary received approval to be considered a micro, small or medium-sized enterprise (“SME”) with the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) on August 21, 2013. The designation provides the UK Subsidiary with significant discounts when holding meetings or submitting filings to the EMA. On September 19, 2013, the UK Subsidiary submitted a pre-submission package to the EMA regarding Crohn’s Disease. The EMA granted the UK Subsidiary a meeting that took place on September 27, 2013. The UK Subsidiary is eligible to benefit from the provisions for administrative and financial assistance for SMEs set out in Regulation (EC) No 2049/2005. The Company will determine whether or not to apply to obtain EMA benefits once funding becomes available.

 

In December 2013, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Cytocom Inc. (“Cytocom”), to focus on conducting LDN and MENK clinical trials in the United States. In December 2014, the Company finalized the distribution of common stock of Cytocom Inc. to its shareholders. As part of the transaction (“Original Agreement”), the Company retained exclusivetransferred to Cytocom certain of its rights, title and interest in or relating to intellectual property (i) patents, patent applications, and all divisional, continuations and continuations-in-part thereof, together with all reissues, reexaminations, renewals and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such divisionals, continuations and continuations-in-part, reissues, reexaminations, renewals and extensions, and all international patents, in-country approvals, formulations,utility models and statutory invention registrations and any other such analogous rights, (ii) trademarks, manufacturing, marketing, sales,service marks, Internet domain names, trade dress, trade styles, logos, trade names, services names, brand names, corporate names, assumed business names and distributionsgeneral intangibles and other source identifiers of a like nature, together with the goodwill associated with any of the foregoing, and all registrations and applications for registrations thereof, together with all renewals and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such renewals and extensions, (iii) copyrights, mask work rights, database and design rights, moral rights and rights in emerging nations,Internet websites, whether registered or unregistered and whether published or unpublished, all registrations and recordings thereof and all applications in connection therewith, together with all renewals, continuations, reversions and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such renewals, continuations, reversions and extensions, and (iv) confidential and proprietary information, including, Africa, Central America, South America, Russia, India, China, Far East,trade secrets and know-how.

TheOriginal Agreement also granted the Company will continuerights to have accessmarket Lodonal™ and Met-Enkephalin (“MENK”) in “Emerging Markets,” which included all countries excluding Canada, Italy, Japan, France, Germany, United Kingdom, European Community and the United States. Pursuant to existing clinical datathe Original Agreement, the Company was required to pay Cytocom a 5% royalty on all sales all ongoing drug development and fees due in connection with the underlying patents until such time as well as any new data generated by Cytocom Inc. during drug development. was funded.

On December 8, 2014, the number of Cytocom Inc. shares of common stock that were issued to our shareholders totaled 113,242,522 shares. In connection with the transaction,Original Agreement, Cytocom Inc. issued an additional 140,100,000 shares of its common stock to the Company, which gave the Company a 55.3% stake in Cytocom Inc. on that date. In April 2016, the Board of Directors and a majority of shareholders of Cytocom approved a reverse stock split of Cytocom’s outstanding common stock with one new share of stock for each twenty old shares of common stock. Cytocom effectuated and finalized the reverse split in June 2016.

On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated licensing agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) with Cytocom. The Restated Agreement restates the licensing arrangement between the Company and Cytocom as provided by the Original Agreement. The Restated Agreement grants the Company distribution and marketing rights for Lodonal™ and MENK for humans in Emerging Markets. In addition, the Company has been granted the rights to distribute and market Lodonal™ and MENK for animal use in the United States. The royalty due to Cytocom has been reduced from 5% to 1% of sales and the Company no longer has any ongoing obligations to pay for costs in connection with the assets of Cytocom.

On June 4, 2018, the Company and Cytocom entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Agreement. Pursuant to the Stock Agreement, the Company cancelled approximately $4,000,000 of debt owed to it by Cytocom in exchange for ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of Cytocom, as calculated on a fully diluted basis. The Restated Agreement was a condition of the Stock Agreement.

At September 30, 2017,December 31, 2018, the Company’s equity interest had been further reduced to 10%, by subsequent issuancesin Cytocom stood at 15.5% of CytocomCytocom’s common stock issued and outstanding on that date.

In March 2014, the Company incorporated Airmed Biopharma Limited, an Irish corporation with an address in Dublin, Ireland, and Airmed Holdings Limited, an Irish company domiciled in Bermuda. The Irish companies were set up to benefit from incentives granted by the Irish government for the establishment of pharmaceutical companies (many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies have located in Ireland), and so that the Company could take advantage of Ireland’s status as a member of the European Union and the European Economic Area. An Irish limited liability company enjoys a low corporate income tax rate of 12.5%, one of the lowest in the world. The Irish-domiciled company hopes to qualify for tax incentives for Irish holding/headquartered companies and to benefit from the network of double tax treaties that reduce withholding taxes. TNI BioTech International, Ltd. will manage our international distribution, using product that is manufactured in Ireland and elsewhere.

Going Concern

The Company experienced a net loss from operations of $4,333,342, and used cash and cash equivalents for operations in the amount of $1,615,508 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, resulting in stockholder’s deficit of $8,353,820 at that date.

 

The Company has incurred significant net losses since inception and has relied on its ability to fund its operations through private equity financings. Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue at more significant levels in the future. As the Company continues to incur losses, transition to profitability is dependent upon the successful development, approval, and commercialization of its product candidate and the achievement of a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company may never achieve profitability, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional cash. Management intends to fund future operations through the sale of products, additional private or public debt or equity offerings and it may also seek additional capital through arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources. Based on the Company’s operating plan, existing working capital at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 was not sufficient to meet the cash requirements to fund planned operations through September 30, 2018for the next 12 months without additional sources of cash. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company experienced a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $709,409 and used cash and cash equivalents for operations in the amount of $171 during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, resulting in stockholders’ deficit of $11,754,613 at that date.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 20162018 (including the notes thereto) set forth in Form 10-K.10- K.

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of its results of operations. The Company’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with the Company’s Board of Directors. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout this section where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

 

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we do not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018. We are electing to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.

Non-Controlling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries

Prior to May 1, 2018, the Company consolidated Cytocom. On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated licensing agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) with Cytocom, Inc., in accordance with which the Company no longer has any ongoing obligations to pay for costs in connection with the assets of Cytocom. On June 4, 2018, the Company and Cytocom entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Agreement”). Pursuant to the Stock Agreement, the Company cancelled approximately $4,000,000 of debt owed to it by Cytocom in exchange for ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of Cytocom, as calculated on a fully diluted basis on June 4, 2018. At March 31, 2019, the Company’s equity interest in Cytocom stood at 15.5% of Cytocom’s common stock issued and outstanding. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated Cytocom as of May 1, 2018, and accounts for its retained interest in Cytocom under the equity method of accounting, with the Company’s share of Cytocom’s earnings recorded in “loss from equity method investment” in the consolidated statements of operations. As the balance of the Company’s investment in Cytocom has been $0 since December 31, 2018, no losses have been recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue on sales to customers and distributors upon satisfaction of our performance obligations when the goods are shipped. For consignment sales, we recognize revenue when the goods are pulled from consignment inventory.

 

In May 2014,Sales of LodonalTM pills or capsules product are included in revenue when production is sold to a customer in fulfillment of performance obligations under the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard providesterms of agreed contracts. Performance obligations primarily comprise delivery of product at a single setdelivery point, as negotiated within each contract. Each quantity of guidelines for revenue recognitionproduct sold is separately identifiable and represents a distinct performance obligation to be used across all industrieswhich the transaction price is allocated. Performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time once control of the product has been transferred to the customer. The Company considers a variety of facts and requires additional disclosures. It is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard permits early adoption and permitscircumstances in assessing the point of control transfer, including but not limited to: whether the purchaser can direct the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Weproduct, the transfer of significant risks and rewards, the Company’s right to payment, and transfer of legal title. In each case, the time between delivery and when payments are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial position and results of operations, as well as our selected transition method. Based on our preliminary assessment, we believe the new standard willdue is not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations, as we do not expect to change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue on a majority of our revenue transactions once we commence revenue-generating activities.significant.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires all leases that have a term of over 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and the‘the corresponding right-of-use asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs for a financing lease will be disaggregated and recognized as both an operating expense (for the amortization of the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for interest on the lease liability). This standard will be effective for our interim and annual periods beginningOn January 1, 2019, and must bethe Company applied ASU 842 on a modified retrospective basis to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluatingAt March 31, 2019, we had no leases that fall within the timing of adoption and the potential impactscope of this standard. Accordingly, the standard has no impact on our consolidated financial position but we do not expect it to have a material impact onor our results of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include bank demand deposits, marketable securities with maturities of three months or less at purchase, and money market funds that invest primarily in certificates of deposits, commercial paper and U.S. government and U.S. government agency obligations. Cash equivalents are reported at fair value.value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents. The Company is exposed to credit risk, subject to federal deposit insurance, in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents to the extent of amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cash accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Company has no cash balances in excess of insured limits.

 

Segment and Geographic Information

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment and does not segment the business for internal reporting or decision making.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

In accordance with the reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 825, Financial“Financial Instruments”, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. Cash, cash equivalents and accounts payable are accounted for at cost which approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of notes payable also approximate fair value since they bear market rates of interest and other terms. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair Value Measurements

TheFASB ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurement,Measurementsdefines requires bifurcation of certain embedded derivative instruments in certain debt or equity instruments, and measurement at their fair value establishesfor accounting purposes. A holder redemption feature embedded in the Company’s note payable requires bifurcation from its host instrument and is accounted for as a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the customer’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.freestanding derivative.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories comprise finished product, raw materials and materials used for packaging. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost based on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory that can be used in either the production of clinical or commercial products is expensed as research and development costs when identified for use in a clinical trials or clinical manufacturing campaigns. Inventory used in marketing activities is charged to selling, general and administrative expense.

Inventory as of March 31, 2019 was valued at $82,801, a decrease of $95,297 or 54% from the inventory balance at the end of March 2018. Inventory at March 31, 2019 was made up primarily of finished pills and related packaging materials. The year-over-year decrease in inventory was due to the shipments of pills during 2018 to Nigeria and to pills used as samples.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged against expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the three monthsperiods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2016March 31, 2018 was $269$387 and $299,$433, respectively.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable as prescribed by ASC Topic 360-10-05, Property,“Property, Plant and Equipment.Equipment.” If the carrying amount of the asset, including any intangible assets associated with that asset, exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow, before interest, the Company will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between its carrying amount and its estimated fair value.

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and are typically comprised of salaries and benefits, pre-clinical studies, clinical trial activities, drug development and manufacturing, fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf and third-party service fees, including clinical research organizations and investigative sites. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trials are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations, or information provided by vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected in the financial statements as operating expenses.

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 740,Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

The standard addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC Topic 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax uncertainties.

 

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, and 2016,2018, the Company has not accrued any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

Stock-Based Compensation and Issuance of Stock for Non-Cash Consideration

 

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values equaling either the market value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable. The majority of the non-cash consideration pertains to services rendered by consultants and others and has been valued at the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of the agreement.

 

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based“Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.Non-Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete.

 

Non-controlling Interest

In accordance with ASC Topic 810,Consolidation, the Company consolidates Cytocom, Inc. The non-controlling interests in Cytocom represent the interestsNet Loss per Share of outside shareholders in the equity and results of operations of Cytocom.

Net Income (Loss) per ShareCommon Stock

 

Basic net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic net income or loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of common stock purchase warrants and options outstanding.

A calculation For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss per share follows:position

The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company uses Level 3 inputs to estimate the fair value of its derivative liabilities.

The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value in the balance sheet as of March 31, 2019:

9.10. Income Taxes - Results of Operations

 

TheThere was no income tax expense reflected in the results of operations for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 because the Company considersincurred a net loss in both years.

On December 22, 2018, the likelihoodPresident of the United States signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Reform”), which enacts a wide range of changes by tax authorities in its filedto the U.S. corporate income tax returnssystem. The impact of U.S. Tax Reform primarily represents the Company’s estimates of revaluing the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets and recognizes a liability for or discloses potential significant changes that management believesliabilities based on the rates at which they are more likely than notexpected to occur upon examination by tax authorities. Management has not identified any uncertain tax positionsbe recognized in the future. For U.S. federal purposes the corporate statutory income tax returns filed that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s income tax returnsrate was reduced from 35% to 21%, effective for the past three years are subject to examination by2018 tax authorities, and may change upon examination.

For financial reporting purposes, for the nine months ending September 30, 2017 and 2016, income before income taxes includes the following components:

The Company has recognized no tax benefit for the losses generated for the periods through September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. ASC Topic 740 requires that a valuation allowance be provided if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company’s ability to realize the benefit of its deferred tax asset will depend on the generation of future taxable income. Because the Company has yet to recognize revenue, we believe that athe full valuation allowance should be provided.

 

The Company'sOur effective tax rate for fiscal years 20162019 and 20152018 was 0%. The Company'sOur tax rate can be affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amount of income we earn in jurisdictions. It may also be affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but are not consistent from year to year.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had estimated federal and state income tax net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards of approximately $79,900,000, which will expire in 2032-2035.

11.12. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Malawi Treatment Facilities

On July 14, 2012, GB Oncology and Imaging Group LTD (“GBOIG”) in partnership with the Company signed a letter of intent agreement to collaborate with the Government of Malawi to assist in expanding the treatment of cancer, HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases.

In December of 2014, the Government of Malawi completed an oncology clinic at the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. In 2015, the Company submitted protocols seeking permission from the College of Medicine Research and Ethics Committee of Malawi (“COMREC”) to conduct two trials involving Lodonal™ in Malawi:

a.The first protocol, submitted jointly with The Jack Brewer Foundation (“JBF Worldwide”), received COMREC approval on November 11, 2015. The protocol covers a 12-month trial for a “Single Visit Approach to Cervical Cancer Prevention.” The approach is designed to deliver a preventive and simple procedure that can be performed in a clinical setting without the use of a laboratory and to allow for immediate treatment of any precancerous lesions utilizing Wallach LL100 Cryosurgical systems. The protocol provides for 50% of the patient group to be put on Lodonal™ to determine if the drug lowers the number of opportunistic infections during the year, and if it can be shown that Lodonal™ increases CD4, CE8, NK and T cell count, which would show that the incidence rates of opportunistic infection could decrease with Lodonal™ and that Lodonal™ could be used as a prophylaxis to prevent substantial HIV-related morbidity in Malawi. COMREC approved the trial in late 2016. Enrollment of study subjects began in late 2016, and the study commenced in January 2017. Due to the fact that enrollment to date in the study has been low, we now expect to reach the target sample size only by the end of 2017. The trial is ongoing with subjects recruited so far, but it cannot be completed until an acceptable sample subject size is reached.
b.The second protocol, which has not yet been approved, covers a trial using Lodonal™ for the treatment of cancer. The Company has put this trial on hold as it may not be required now that the Company has received approval in Nigeria for in addition to the pending approval in Kenya and Senegal for Lodonal™ for the treatment of cancer.

Distribution Agreements in Nigeria

Effective November 9, 2012, the Company signed an exclusive Distribution Agreement with G-Ex Technologies/St. Maris Pharma and GB Pharma Holdings, LLC for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The parties have been unable to perform under the agreement because a certificate of free sale was not obtained by the Company until November of 2013, and no extension has been granted.

 

In October 2013, the Company announced the signing of a Distribution Agreement with AHAR Pharma, a Nigerian company, to market Lodonal™, in Nigeria for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer. AHAR intends to distribute Lodonal™ through a local distributor network, an Internet client base and directly to hospitals, pharmacists and doctors in Nigeria. The first deliveries under the agreement expirestook place in DecemberFebruary 2018. Under the original agreement, the Company is obligated to provide delivery of an initial supply of between 1 million and 1.5 million doses of Lodonal™ product to cover AHAR Pharma’s first-year purchase commitment. Due to the fact that AHAR Pharma failed to meet its contractual purchase obligations, the Company formally issued notice of default under the agreement.

 

In August 2015,On April 18, 2018, AHAR Pharma transferred its rights under the Company announced the signing of a letter of intent with GB Pharma/AHARDistribution Agreement to Fidson Healthcare Plc (“Fidson”), and Fidson Healthcare Plc., in terms of which Fidson will promote LodonalTMupon execution of a definitive agreement between the companies and receipt required regulatory approvals to distribute LodonalTMin Nigeria. The Company continues to hold discussions with Fidson for distribution of LodonalTM in Nigeria under this letter of intent.

In May 2017, the Company received approval from the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control of Nigeria (“NAFDAC”) to market and distribute LodonalTM in Nigeria. The approval is for a one-day Immune System Regulator for the management of HIV/AIDS, which is based on the results of the Company’s 90-day bridging trial in Nigeria.

Under the 2013signed an exclusive distribution agreement with AHAR Pharma, after the Company received NAFDAC approval to sell LodonalTM in Nigeria, AHAR was required to place an initial order for capsules totaling between 1 million and 1.5 million capsules, at $1.00 per capsule. No order was placed. The parties have agreed to amend theirdistribute Lodonal™. There were no shipments under this agreement in this regard, and they expect to close negotiations by the end of November 2017. The Company expects to ship an initial order of 400,000 capsules, commencing before year-end 2017, over a 12-month period in equal quarterly instalments. AHAR has notified the Company that it has opened discussions with a small number of wholesalers for the purchase of LodonalTM.

In September 2017, the Company became registered under the U.S. Government's System for Award Management to sell LodonalTMto Nigeria through the United States Agency for International Development (“USAID”) and UNAIDS. At the same time, the Company and AHAR filed for regulatory approval of the use of LodonalTM with the National Agency for the Control of AIDS in Nigeria (“NACA”). Once NACA approves the use of LodonalTM as a treatment for AIDS, it will be able to purchase LodonalTMdirectly from the Company and AHAR.

In addition to the work with NACA, USAID and UNAIDS, AHAR and the Company are moving forward with applications to NAFDAC to permit the sale of Lodonal™ in Nigeria for additional indications. They expect to submit those applications in the first quarter of 2018. Those indications include the use of the drug as an adjunct to treatment of chemotherapy, opportunistic infections and cancer.2019.

Qianjiang Pharmaceutical must pay the Company, upon the marketing of MENK products, a half-year amount equaling 6% of its gross sales from MENK of the preceding half year. The Company may cancel the Venture Agreement if Qianjiang Pharmaceutical does not pay expenses for a period exceeding six months or does not commence clinical trials within 12-months after receiving certain approvals. Qianjiang Pharmaceutical may cancel the Venture Agreement if the Company fails to perform its obligations for a period of six months or the failure to receive approval of clinical trials is due to the Company’s MENK technologies. The Venture Agreement was amended on February 24, 2013 to expand the clinical trials from pancreatic to both pancreatic and liver cancer and amended on March 6, 2014 to require Qianjiang Pharmaceutical to commence studies and clinical trials in China and place funds in the co-administration account.

 

On August 6, 2014, the Company entered into a Supplementary Agreement on New Drug Methionine – Enkephalin Cooperation (the “Amendment”) with Qianjiang Pharmaceutical, amending the Venture Agreement, as amended. The Company and Qianjiang Pharmaceutical executed the Amendment to accelerate clinical trials in both the United States and China and agreed to immediately initiate three monththree-month Good Laboratory Practice (“GLP”) Toxicology Studies (rat and dog) within 30 days of signing the Amendment. The Amendment requires that the GLP Toxicology Studies Trials are conducted in China in accordance with international standards and standards acceptable to the FDA and that the studies include the following:

Exploratory Toxicology (nGLP)

Dose range finding studies
Different species and methods of administration
Multiple dosing regimens
Estimate the response vs. dose given

Definitive Toxicology (GLP)

Performed in collaboration with Calvert Laboratories (USA) and MPI/Medicillon (China)
General toxicology studies
Different species and methods of administration
Immunogenicity study with NHPs

Special Toxicology Studies (planned)

Pursuant to the Amendment, Qianjiang Pharmaceutical has made certain funds available from the co-administrative account opened by Qianjiang Pharmaceutical under the Venture Agreement, in accordance with an approved budget and timeline set forth in the Amendment. A portion of these funds are expected to be used by Cytocom to run PK and Dosing trials for MENK in the United States in 2016. The Amendment requires Cytocom and Qianjiang Pharmaceutical to meet with the China State Food and Drug Administration to determine that PK and Dosing Trials completed in the United States will be acceptable. All developments and trials run by Cytocom in the U.S. or the European Union will be used for requesting registration approval in China.FDA.

 

In February 2013, the Company signed a Strategic Framework Agreement for Cooperation with Qianjiang Pharmaceutical. Under the agreement, the parties will work together to further the development of new products and conduct research and development on the Company’s licensed patented technology. Specifically, the parties aim to co-invest to develop and market products focusing on HIV, cancer and related autoimmune system therapies, develop co-ventured manufacturing facilities in China, and develop co-ventured distribution of the developed products in China and Africa. The agreement does not have a definitive term, as each new agreement resulting from the cooperation will set forth the material terms, including, but not limited to, fees,fess, duration and termination therein.

In December of 2016 Qianjiang Pharmaceutical completeddelivered various documents under the following documents:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

 

Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks

 

This section and other parts of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements also can be identified by words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on MayApril 16, 20162019 (the “2015“2018 Form 10-K/A”10-K”) under the heading “Risk Factors”.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 20152018 Form 10-K/A10-K and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. All information presented herein is based on the Company’s fiscal calendar. Unless otherwise stated, references in this report to particular years, quarters, months or periods refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended in December and the associated quarters, months, or periods of those fiscal years. Each of the terms the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” as used herein refers collectively to Immune Therapeutics, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated. The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

General

Immune Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) was initially incorporated in Florida on December 2, 1993 as Resort Clubs International, Inc. (“Resort Clubs”). It was formed to manage and market golf course properties in resort markets throughout the United States. Galliano International Ltd. (“Galliano”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 1998 and began trading in November 1999 through the filing of a 15C-211. On November 10, 2004, Galliano merged with Resort Clubs. Resort Clubs was the surviving corporation. On August 23, 2010, Resort Clubs changed its name to pH Environmental Inc. (“pH Environmental”).

On April 23, 2012, pH Environmental completed a name change to TNI BioTech, Inc., and on April 24, 2012, we executed a share exchange agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. On September 4, 2014, a majority of our shareholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to change our name to Immune Therapeutics, Inc. We filed our name change amendment with the Secretary of State of Florida on October 27, 2014 changing our name to Immune Therapeutics, Inc.

The Company currently operates out of Orlando, Florida. In July 2012, the Company’s focus turned to acquiring patents that would protect and advance the development of new uses of opioid-related immune- therapies, such as low dose naltrexone (“LDN”) and Methionine [Met5]-enkephalin (“MENK”). The Company’s therapies are believed to stimulate and/or regulate the immune system in such a way that they provide the potential to treat a variety of diseases. We believe our therapies may be able to correct abnormalities or deficiencies in the immune system in diseases such as HIV infection, autoimmune disease, immune disorders, or cancer; all of which can lead to disease progression and life-threatening situations when the immune system is not functioning optimally.

In October 2012, the Company formed TNI BioTech International, Ltd., a BVI company in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, which was set up to allow the Company to market and sell LDN in those countries outside the U.S. in which we have been able to obtain approval to sell the Company’s products.

In August 2013, the Company formed its United Kingdom subsidiary, TNI BioTech, LTD (the “UK Subsidiary”). The UK Subsidiary received approval to be considered a micro, small or medium-sized enterprise (“SME”) with the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) on August 21, 2013. The designation provides the UK Subsidiary with significant discounts when holding meetings or submitting filings to the EMA. On September 19, 2013, the UK Subsidiary submitted a pre-submission package to the EMA regarding Crohn’s Disease. The EMA granted the UK Subsidiary a meeting that took place on September 27, 2013. The UK Subsidiary is eligible to benefit from the provisions for administrative and financial assistance for SMEs set out in Regulation (EC) No 2049/2005. The Company will apply to obtain EMA benefits once funding becomes available.

2013, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Cytocom Inc., to focus on conducting LDN and MENK clinical trials in the United States. In December 2014, the Company finalized the distribution of common stock of Cytocom Inc. to its shareholders. As part of the transaction, the Company retained exclusive rights to all international patents, in-country approvals, formulations, trademarks, manufacturing, marketing, sales, and distributions rights in emerging nations, including Africa, Central America, South America, Russia, India, China, Far East, and The Commonwealth of Independent States (former Soviet Union). The Company will continue to have access to existing clinical data as well as any new data generated by Cytocom Inc. during drug development. On December 8, 2014, the number of Cytocom Inc. shares of common stock that were issued to our shareholders totaled 113,242,522 shares. In connection with the transaction, Cytocom Inc. issued 140,100,000 shares of its common stock to the Company, which gave the Company a 55.3% stake in Cytocom Inc. on that date. In April 2016, the Board of Directors and a majority of shareholders of Cytocom approved a reverse stock split of Cytocom’s outstanding common stock with one new share of stock for each twenty old shares of common stock. Cytocom effectuated and finalized the reverse split in June 2016. At June 30, 2017, the Company’s equity interest had been further reduced to 11.3%, by subsequent issuances of Cytocom common stock to shareholders in settlement of notes payable.

In March 2014, the Company incorporated Airmed Biopharma Limited, an Irish corporation with an address in Dublin, Ireland, and Airmed Holdings Limited, an Irish company domiciled in Bermuda. The Irish companies were set up to benefit from incentives granted by the Irish government for the establishment of pharmaceutical companies (many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies have located in Ireland), and so that the Company could take advantage of Ireland’s status as a member of the European Union and the European Economic Area. An Irish limited liability company enjoys a low corporate income tax rate of 12.5%, one of the lowest in the world. The Irish-domiciled company hopes to qualify for tax incentives for Irish holding/headquartered companies and to benefit from the network of double tax treaties that reduce withholding taxes. TNI BioTech International, Ltd. will manage our international distribution, using product that is manufactured in Ireland and elsewhere.

Today, Immune Therapeutics is focused on the commercialization of affordable non-toxic immunotherapies focused on the activation and rebalancing of the body’s immune system. Stimulating the body’s immune system remains one of the most promising approaches in the treatment of Cancers, HIV, Autoimmune Diseases, inflammatory conditions and other opportunistic infections for chronic often life-threatening diseases through the mobilization of the body’s immune system in Emerging Nations using existing clinical data.

Cytocom Inc, is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of the first affordable non-toxic immunodulator for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, immune-related disorders, and cancer and is responsible for the development of our patented therapies with the FDA and EMA.

As of this date, neither we nor our collaboration partners are permitted to market our drug candidates in the United States until we receive approval of a New Drug Application from the FDA. Neither we nor our collaboration partners have submitted an application for or received marketing approval for any of our drug candidates. Obtaining approval of an NDA can be a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process.

Research and Development

The Company’s research and development (“R&D”) activities commenced in the third quarter of 2012, the Company having completed the initial acquisition of MENK-related patents required for research in the second quarter of that year. Through 2013 and the first nine months of 2014, we continued to build R&D organization and capabilities focusing primarily on new uses for opioid-related immuno-therapies, such as LDN and MENK. Those activities were suspended at the end of September 2014, due to lack of funding. We expect to be able to resume activities in 2017.

Our R&D priorities include development of IRT-101 or MENK, a small synthetic peptide that is naturally occurring in the body, and IRT-103 LDN, an opioid receptor antagonist. Our pipeline provides two therapies with a wide range of indications that can be pursued. We believe that both molecules have the ability to stimulate the immune system in order to treat a variety of autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, immune disorders such as Crohn’s disease, cancer, and viral infections such as HIV/AIDS.

Stock issued for services

 

The Company periodically receives services from consultants under long-term consulting contracts, in terms of which it issues stock to prepay for the services. In such cases, the Company initially accounts for the full cost of these services as Prepaid Services on its balance sheet, calculated by the number of shares issued multiplied by the share price on the contract date. This amount is then amortized as a cost over the period in which the services are provided to the Company. The Company reports these costs separately from Selling, general and administrative costs, and Research and development costs, to better demonstrate the true costs of Selling, general and administrative activities, and Research and development.

Stock issued for services

The Company periodically receives services from consultants under long-term consulting contracts, in terms of which it issues stock to prepay for the services. In such cases, the Company initially accounts for the full cost of these services as Prepaid Services on its balance sheet, calculated by the number of shares issued multiplied by the share price on the contract date. This amount is then amortized as a cost over the period in which the services are provided to the Company. The Company reports these costs separately from Selling, general and administrative costs, and Research and development costs, to better demonstrate the true costs of Selling, general and administrative activities, and Research and development.

Liquidity

 

Liquidity is measured by our ability to secure enough cash to meet our contractual and operating needs as they arise. We do not anticipate generating sufficient net positive cash flows from our operations to fund the next twelve months. We had cash of $22,570$5,688 at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, compared to $22,152$30,401 at September 30, 2016.March 31, 2018.

The Company expects to generate revenues fromgenerated no sales in 2017.the first quarter of 2019. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flows from future sales, or if it does not raise additional working capital to meet all of its operating obligations and expenditures, the Company may have to modify its business plan.

In addition to the cost of its ongoing operations, the Company expects it will incur future research and development expenditures in the next 12 months, through Cytocom. Cytocom plans to conduct Phase IIfor treatments for animals and Phase IIBin humans in emerging markets. The Company will need approximately $4 million for clinical trials for these activities in the treatmentnext 12 months.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, because of the weakness in internal controls over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, using the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this assessment, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. The reportable conditions and material weakness relate to a limited segregation of duties and lack of an audit committee. The limited segregation of duties within our company and the lack of an audit committee are due to the small number of employees. Management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. This material weakness could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. In addition, due to limited staffing, we are not always able to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting.

 

Going forward, management anticipates that additional staff will be necessary to mitigate these weaknesses, as well as to implement other planned improvements. Additional staff will enable us to document and apply transactional and periodic controls procedures, permit a better review and approval process and improve quality of financial reporting. However, the potential addition of new staff is contingent on obtaining additional financing, and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
