Mateon is currently evaluating the further developingdevelopment of its product candidates OXi4503 as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes and the other of which is developing CA4P in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma.

 

OnIn April 17, 2019, the CompanyMateon entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Oncotelic, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing investigational drugs for the treatment of orphan oncology indications and the Company’sMateon’s wholly-owned subsidiary Oncotelic Acquisition Corporation (the “Merger Sub”Merger Sub). Upon the terms of and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub would bewas merged with and into Oncotelic (the “Merger”Merger), with Oncotelic surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

OnMateon. Also, in April 22, 2019, the CompanyMateon completed the Merger and Oncotelic became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mateon. UponThe Merger was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for financial accounting purposes. Oncotelic is considered the completion ofacquirer for accounting purposes, and Mateon’s historical financial statements before the Merger each sharehave been replaced with the historical financial statements of Oncotelic common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (excluding any shares of Oncotelic held by stockholders exercising dissenters’ appraisal rights) was converted solely intoin the right to receive (i) 3.97335267 shares of Mateon common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) 0.01877292 shares of Mateon’s newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).

The Company is acancer immunotherapy company dedicated to the development of first in class self-immunization protocol (SIP®(SIP™) candidates for difficult to treat cancers. The Company’s proprietary SIP®SIP™ candidates offer advantages over other immunotherapies because they do not require extraction of the tumor or isolation of the antigens, and they have the potential for broad-spectrum applicability for multiple cancer types. The Company’s proprietary product candidates have shown promising clinical activity in phase 2 trials for the treatment of gliomas and pancreatic cancers. The Company aims to translate its unique insights, which span more than three decades of original work using RNA therapeutics, into the deployment of antisense as ana RNA therapeutic for diseases which are caused by TGF-beta overexpression, starting with cancer and expanding to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and others.Oncotelic’s lead product candidate, OT-101, is being developed as a broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug that can also be used in combination with other standard cancer therapies to establish an effective multi-modality treatment strategy for difficult-to-treat cancers. Together, we planthe Company plans to initiate phase 3 clinical trials for OT-101 in both high-grade glioma and pancreatic cancer.cancer, and any other indications that may evolve.

The Company is developing OT-101 for the various epidemics and pandemics, similar to the current corona virus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. In this connection, Mateon entered into an agreement and supplemental agreement with Golden Mountain Partners (“GMP”) for a total of $1.2 million to render services for the development of OT-101. Such amount was recorded as revenue upon completion of all performance obligations under the agreement. Further, In June 2020, Mateon secured $2 million in debt financing, evidenced by a one year convertible note (the “GMP Note”) from GMP, to conduct a clinical trial evaluating OT-101 against COVID-19 bearing 2% annual interest, and is personally guaranteed by Dr. Vuong Trieu, the Chief Executive Officer of Mateon. The GMP Note is convertible into Mateon’s Common Stock upon the GMP Note’s maturity one year from the date of the GMP Note, at Mateon’s Common Stock price on the date of conversion with no discount. GMP does not have the option to convert prior to the GMP Note’s maturity at the end of one year. Such financing will be utilized solely to fund the clinical trial. In addition, the Company was paid $0.5 million for the completion of a successful in-vivo study of OT-101 in combination with Interluken 2 from Autotelic BIO Co., LTD. (“ATB”), an unaffiliated South Korean Company with whom Oncotelic had entered into an agreement in 2018.

In August 2019, Mateon entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “PointR Merger Agreement”) with PointR. PointR survived the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “PointR Merger”). The PointR Merger was intended to create a publicly-traded artificial intelligence (“AI”) driven immuno-oncology company with a robust pipeline of first in class TGF-β immunotherapies for late stage cancers such as gliomas, pancreatic cancer and melanoma. In November 2019, Mateon entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the PointR Merger Agreement with PointR. The Amendment revised certain terms of the PointR Merger Agreement to provide that holders of PointR Common Stock would receive shares of the Mateon’s Series A Preferred Stock in lieu of shares of Mateon’s Common Stock in connection with the PointR Merger, as originally contemplated by the PointR Merger Agreement. The Amendment also revised the terms of the milestones for earn-out payment. Also in November 2019, pursuant to the terms of the PointR Merger Agreement, Mateon completed the PointR Merger. For more information on the PointR Merger, please refer to Mateon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 14, 2020.

Please review Note 12 – Subsequent events for more information on updates since June 30, 2020.

Additionally, the Companyinception, had negative working capital of $1,854,111$7.4 million at June 30, 2019,2020, of which approximately $1.1$1.3 million is attributable to assumed negative working capital of Mateon and $280,532 at December 31, 2018, respectively,$2.6 million contingent liability of issuance of common shares of Mateon to PointR shareholders upon achievement of certain milestones in accordance with the PointR Merger Agreement, and has mostly had negative cash flows from operations duringthrough the six months ended June 30, 2019.2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.concern for a period of one year from the date of this filing. Management expects to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future and recognizes the need to raise capital to remain viable. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity-based transactions and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expensesexpense during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. Significant estimates include the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, and fair value of financial instruments.

 

Cash

 

As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company held all its cash in banks in the United States of America. The Company considers investments in highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

 

Investment in Equity Securities

 

Prior to the Merger, Oncotelic received Series E Preferred Shares of Adhera Therapeutics, Inc. (“Adhera”) in consideration for the issuance of Oncotelic’s common stockCommon Stock under various Securities Purchase Agreements (See Notes 8 and 9).Agreements. The Company records its investments in equity securities initially at cost in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”ASC) 320,321, Investments – Debt and Equity–Equity Securities (“ASC 320”321). The Company subsequently marks the investments to market at each reporting period and, in accordance with ASUAccounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments – (Overall), records the unrealized gains or losses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. There were no unrealized gains or losses on investments in equity securities forDuring the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. There were no unrealized gains or losses on investments in equity securities for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019, the Company evaluated the fair value of the investment based on filings by Adhera, in which Adhera describes their current financial condition including the potential to file for bankruptcy, the Company believed that the long term investment in Adhera was impaired and therefore, determined to write off the entire investment.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expensesexpense approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. As defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
  
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
  
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”718), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the statements of operations.

 

For stock options issued to employees and members of the boardBoard of directorsDirectors (the “Board”) for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stockCommon Stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock.Common Stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised.

 

Pursuant to ASU 2018-07 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value the stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options noted above.

For warrants issued in connection with fund raising activities, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each warrant using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the warrant, the expected volatility of the Common Stock consistent with the expected life of the warrant, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the Common Stock. If the warrants are issued upon termination or cancellation of prior issued warrants, then the Company estimates the grant date fair value of the new warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model and evaluates whether the new warrants are deemed as equity instruments or liability instruments. If the warrants are deemed to be equity instruments, the Company records stock compensation expense and an addition to additional paid in capital. If however, the warrants are deemed to be liability instruments, then the fair value is treated as a deemed dividend and credited to additional paid in capital.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. For the three- and six-months endingsix months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,year ended December 31, 2019, there were no impairment losses recognized for long-lived assets.

12

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company reviews the intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that they are impaired. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors.

If the review indicates the impairment, an impairment loss would be recorded for the difference of the value recorded and the new value. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no impairment losses recognized for intangible assets.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired business over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least once annually, (during the last quarter of the fiscal year), at the reporting unit level or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is applied by performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is considered not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment would not be required. Otherwise, goodwill impairment is tested using a two-step approach.

 

The first step involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount is determined to be greater than the fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in step one. The implied fair value of the goodwill in this step is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is less than the carrying value of the goodwill, an impairment loss equivalent to the difference is recorded. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no impairment losses recognized for Goodwill.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.

 

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”

 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stockCommon Stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Original issue discounts (“OID”) under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stockCommon Stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

ASC 815-40 “Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” provides that, among other things, generally, if an event occurs that is not within the entity’s control could or would require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).

Under ASU 2014-9, the Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of the promised good or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step process: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASU 2014-09, the Company identifies the performance obligation(s) in the contract by assessing whether the goods or services promised within each contract are distinct. The Company then recognizes revenue for the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company anticipates generating revenues from rendering services to other third party customers for the development of certain drug products and/or in connection with certain out-licensing agreements. In the case of services rendered for development of the drugs, revenue is recognized upon the achievement of the performance obligations or over time on a straight-line basis over the extended service period. In the case of out-licensing contracts, the Company records revenues either (i) upon achievement of certain pre-defined milestones when there is no obligation of the Company achieve any performance obligations in connection with the said pre-defined milestones, or (ii) upon achievement of the performance obligations if the milestones require the Company to provide the performance obligations.

The Company occasionally collects advance payments from customers toward commitments to provide services or performance obligations, in which case the advance payment is recorded as a liability until the obligations are fulfilled and revenue is recognized.

Research Service Agreement between GMP and Mateon Therapeutics Inc./Oncotelic Inc. (“Mateon Entities”).

Oncotelic and GMP entered into a research and services agreement (the “Agreement”) on February 3, 2020 memorializing their collaborative efforts to develop and test COVID-19 antisense therapeutics. On March 18, 2020, the Company reported the positive anti-viral activity results of OT-101 (the “Product”) in an in vitro antiviral testing performed by an independent laboratory to GMP. In March 2020, the Mateon Entities and GMP entered into a supplement to the Agreement (the “Supplement”) to confirm the inclusion of the Product within the scope of the Agreement, pending positive confirmatory testing against COVID-19. In consideration for the financial support provided by GMP for the research, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement (as amended by the Supplement) GMP was entitled to obtain certain exclusive rights to the use of the Product in the COVID field on a global basis, and an economic interest in the use of the Product in the COVID field including 50/50 profit sharing. GMP paid the Company fees of $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and an $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 for the services rendered under the Agreement and Supplement, respectively. The Company also recorded approximately $40 thousand for reimbursement of actual costs incurred.

Agreement with Autotelic BIO

Oncotelic had entered into a license agreement in February 2018 (the “ATB Agreement”) with ATB. The ATB Agreement licensed the use of OT-101 in combination with Interleukin-2 (the “Combined Product”), and granted to ATB an exclusive license under the Oncotelic technology to develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import and export the Combined Product, and the Combination Product only, in the field, throughout the entire world (excluding the United States of America and Canada) as the territory, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the ATB Agreement. The ATB Agreement requires ATB to be responsible for the development of the Combination Product. Oncotelic was responsible to provide to ATB the technical know-how and other pertinent information on the development of the Combination Product. ATB paid Oncotelic a non-refundable milestone payment in consideration for the rights and licenses granted to ATB under the ATB Agreement, and ATB was to pay Oncotelic $500,000 within sixty days from the successful completion of the in vivo efficacy studies. This payment was made in June 2020 after the successful completion of the in-vivo study and, as such, the Company recorded the revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, ATB is to pay Oncotelic: (i) $500,000 upon Oncotelic’s completion of the technology know how and Oncotelic’s technical assistance and regulatory consultation to ATB, as determined by the preparation of a Current Good Regulation Practices audit or certification by the Food and Drug Administration, with a mutual goal to obtain marketing approval of the Combined Product developed by ATB in the aforementioned territory; (ii) $1,000,000 upon receiving marketing approval of the Combined Product in Japan, China, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, or Korea; and (iii) $2,000,000 from receiving marketing approval of the Combined Product in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, or the United Kingdom. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded approximately $500,000 as revenue under the ATB Agreement for the successful completion of the in-vivo study.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new guidance requires only a one-step quantitative impairment test, whereby a goodwill impairment loss will be measured as the excess of a reporting period unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (not to exceed the total goodwill allocated to that reporting unit). It eliminates Step 2 of the current two-step goodwill impairment test, under which a goodwill impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have anyhad no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. ASU 2014-09 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The ASU also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company did not have any revenues foradopted ASU 2015-14 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and may not have revenues in2020 as till then, no revenue was earned by the near future. The adoption of ASC 606 is not likely to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new guidance establishes the principles to report transparent and economically neutral information about the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures as the Company does not have any leases.Company.

 

All other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.

 

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS

Merger Agreement with Oncotelic, Inc.

Effective April 22, 2019, the Company completed the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Oncotelic, Inc. merged with and into Merger Sub. Oncotelic, Inc. was the surviving corporation and, as a result of the Merger, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Mateon.

On the effectiveness of the Merger it is reflected that:

for all bookkeeping and accounting purposes, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) was to be deemed to have occurred at 10:00 am local time on April 22, 2019;
for the purposes of calculating the number of shares of Mateon’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, to be issued in exchange for common equity units of Oncotelic, Inc. in connection with the Merger, the conversion ratio was to be 3.97335267 for Common Stock and 0.01877292 of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;
41,419,934 shares of Mateon common stock were issued and outstanding as of the date of the Merger;
Oncotelic’s outstanding 10,318,746 shares of common stock, consisting of 7,866,335 outstanding shares of common stock, 3,102,411 converted options and 150,000 converted warrants, that were exchanged for an aggregatge of (a) 41,000,033 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and (b) 193,713 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share each of which are initially convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock. Included in the shares issued to the former stockholders of Oncotelic are approximately 2.1 million shares of common stock and approximately 10,000 shares of the Preferred Stock which are to be issued subject to the holders’ waiver of dissenter’s rights.
Holders of the Company’s Common Stock at the close of business on the date prior to the effectiveness of the Merger were issued a Contingent Value Right (“CVR”).

Each CVR provides its holder the right to receive 75% of the net proceeds received from the full or partial sale, license, transfer or other disposition of the intellectual property rights and related assets of Mateon’s product candidates OXi4503 and CA4P, in their form and for their contemplated uses at the time of Closing, that occurs under a definitive agreement executed prior to the fourth anniversary of the Merger (after the initial $500,000 of such net proceeds, which will be retained by the Company). The CVRs are not transferable, do not entitle the holder to any equity interest in the Company and do not have any voting or dividend rights.

Immediately following the Merger, Mateon had 82,419,967 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 193,713 shares of preferred stock which converted at a 1:1,000 ratio resulting in an additional 193,712,995 shares of common stock. The pre-Merger stockholders of Mateon retained an aggregate of 41,419,934 shares of common stock of Mateon, representing approximately 15% ownership of the post-Merger company. Therefore, upon consummation of the Merger, there was a change in control of Mateon, with the former owners of Oncotelic effectively acquiring control of Mateon.The Merger has been treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for financial accounting purposes. As such, Oncotelic is considered the acquirer for financial accounting purposes, and the registrant’s historical financial statements of the Company before the Merger has been replaced with the historical financial statements of Oncotelic before the Merger in the financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company obtained a preliminary 3rd party valuation on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for use in the purchase price allocation, as well as the value the consideration exchanged in the Merger. It was determined that the market price of the Company’s common stock was not the most readily determinable measurement for calculating the fair value of the consideration, and instead the estimation of the consideration was based on an income approach to value the equity interest exchanged.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the transaction date:

Cash $182,883 
Prepaid expenses  56,175 
Right of use operating asset  33,825 
Accounts payable and other current liabilities assumed  (1,296,186)
Net liability acquired  (1,023,303)
Goodwill (a.)  4,751,055 
Total purchase price (b.) $3,727,752 

a. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired company and Oncotelic, Inc. and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies for recognition as an intangible asset.

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present. Goodwill and intangibles is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company has considered the valuation as a preliminary allocation of assets and liabilities and may adjust such estimates in the future, if deemed material.

b. The total purchase price of $3,727,752 represents the consideration transferred from Mateon in the Merger and was calculated based on the number of shares of Common Stock of the combined company that Mateon stockholders ownded as of the closing of the transaction and the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed by Oncotelic.

NOTE 4 -– GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

 

Mateon completed athe Merger with Oncotelic, Inc. (Note 3), which gave rise to Goodwill of $4,751,055. The Goodwill will be$4,879,999. Further, Mateon added goodwill of $16,182,456 upon the completion of the Merger with PointR. In general, the goodwill is tested on thean annual impairment date chosen of December 31.

Arrangements with Adhera Therapeutics, Inc.

In July 2017, Oncotelic entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Adhera Therapeutics, Inc. (“Adhera”) pursuant to which, among other things, we However, since both mergers were provided from Adhera a license to their SMARTICLES platformcompleted in 2019 and both assets are currently being developed for various cancer and COVID-19 therapies, the delivery of antisense DNA therapeutics, as well as a license to their conformationally restricted nucleotide (“CRN”) technology with respect to TGF-Beta. UnderCompany does not believe the terms ofthere are any factors or indications that the License Agreement, Oncotelic agreed to purchase 49,019 shares of Adhera’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $0.25 million ($5.10 per share), with such purchase and sale to be made pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement to be entered into between us and Adhera within thirty (30) days following the date of the License Agreement. As of May 2018, we had not completed the purchase of the stock and were not able to reach a definitive agreement, and as part of the Omnibus Settlement Agreement, entered into on October 1, 2018, between Adhera, Vuong Trieu, Ph.D. and affiliated entities, the License Agreement was terminated effective May 15, 2018.goodwill is impaired.

 

Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Autotelic, Inc.

In April 2018, weOncotelic entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”Assignment Agreement) with Autotelic Inc., an affiliate company, and Autotelic LLC, an affiliate company, pursuant to which the CompanyOncotelic acquired the rights to all intellectual property (“IP”IP) related to a patented product. As consideration for the Assignment Agreement, the CompanyOncotelic issued 204,798 shares of our common stockits Common Stock for a value of $819,191. The Assignment Agreement also provides that the CompanyOncotelic shall be responsible for all costs related to the IP, including development and maintenance, going forward. All previous pass through charges related to this asset from Autotelic Inc. to Autotelic, LLC and then to the Company will be null and void. As a result, Oncotelic wrote-off approximately $458,000 in previously billed charges related to the Oncotelic IP for the year ended December 31, 2018 which was recorded in general and administrative expenses. Dr. Trieu, a related party, is a control person in Autotelic LLC and Autotelic Inc.

The gross principal balances on the convertible debentures listed above convertible notes gross $800,000totaled $1,000,000 and included an initial debt discountdiscounts totaling $600,140. $800,140, resulting from the recording of the OID, the related financing costs, the beneficial conversion feature for the intrinsic value of the non-bifurcated conversion option and the restricted shares issued contemporaneously with the convertible notes.

Total amortization expense related to these debt discounts related to the convertible debentures was $28,065$460,339 and $28,065 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. No similar expense was recorded in the same periods of 2018. The total unamortized debt discount$0 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, Mateon recorded additional and accelerated amortization of debt discounts of $192,761, which was $572,075.created from the bifurcation of the conversion option related the host hybrid instruments upon the partial conversion of debt by Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Peak One”) and TFK Investments, LLC (“TFK”) to shares of Mateon’s Common Stock. The total unamortized debt discount at June 30, 2020, was $472,632.

All the above SPAs with debenture notes issued to Peak One, TFK, our CEO and the bridge investors reached the 180 days prior to the end of the six months ended June 30, 2020. As such, all the note holders had the ability to convert that debt into equity at a conversion price of: (i) $0.10 per share during the first 180 days, and then (ii) at the lower of (a) the Fixed Price or the variable conversion price of 65% of the Company’s lowest traded price after the first 180 days, or (b) the lower of the Fixed Price or 55% of Mateon’s traded stock price under certain circumstances. This gave rise to a derivative feature within the debt instrument. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a derivative liability of approximately $541,000.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

The Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $65,600,000 and $65,000,000 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards. The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2020 relates to the operations of the Company.

The Company records a valuation allowance in the full amount of our net deferred tax assets since realization of such tax benefits has been determined by the Company’s management to be less likely than not.

The Company has identified our federal and California state tax returns as “major” tax jurisdictions. Currently, the periods the Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination for these jurisdictions are 2015 through 2018, until such time the Company files the 2019 tax return. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit, and the Company do not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no liabilities for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.

At June 30, 2020, the Company had available net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes of approximately $249,900,000, including net operating losses of $1,900,000 recorded through the six months ended June 30, 2019.2020. At December 31, 2019, the Company had available net operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes of approximately $248,000,000 which are available to offset future taxable income. Portions of these carry-forwards will expire through 2038 if not otherwise utilized. The Company has not performed a formal analysis, but the Company believes its ability to use such net operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards is subject to annual limitations due to change of control provisions under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, which significantly impacts the Company’s ability to realize these deferred tax assets.

As of the date of this filing, the Company has not filed its 2019 federal and state corporate income tax returns. The Company expects to file these documents as soon as practicable.

The Employment Agreements provide for annual base salaries for each year of the term, subject to review and adjustment by Mateon’s Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) from time to time. Each Employment Agreement provides that the executive shall be eligible for an annual discretionary cash bonus expressed as a percentage the executive’s base salary, subject to their achievement of performance targets and goals established by the Board or the Compensation Committee.

The Employment Agreements provide for equity awards to each executive under the terms of Mateon’s stock option plans. Each Employment Agreement provides that the executive will receive a restricted stock grant of the Mateon’s Common Stock. Mateon will compensate Messrs. Trieu, Park and Shah for the taxes actually incurred on grant of the restricted shares. The restricted stock will vest fully on the one-year anniversary of employment. As of December 31, 2019, the restricted shares have yet to be issued. The Employment Agreements also provide for grants of incentive stock options to purchase shares of Mateon’s Common Stock under the Stock Plans. Such options shall vest and become exercisable after one year of employment. As of December 31, 2019, these options had yet to be granted. Thereafter, each Employment Agreement contemplates that the executive will be eligible to receive a comparable annual grant of restricted shares or stock options as approved by the Board or Compensation Committee and which shall contain the customary terms and provisions of such grants generally to key executives under the 2017 Stock Plan.

The initial restricted stock grants and stock option grants have been set for the executives as follows:

Executive Title Restricted Stock
(Shares)
  Stock Options
(Shares)
 
Vuong Trieu Chief Executive Officer  209,302   313,953 
Chulho Park Chief Technology Officer  162,791   244,186 
Amit Shah Chief Financial Officer  148,837   223,256 

The incentive stock options or the restricted stock awards granted to the Mateon’s officers have not been issued as of the date of this filing.

PointR Merger Consideration

The total purchase price of $17,831,427 represented the consideration transferred from Mateon in the PointR Merger and was calculated based on the number of shares of Common Stock plus the preferred shares outstanding but convertible into Common Stock outstanding at the date of the PointR Merger and includes $2,625,000 of contingent consideration of shares issuable to PointR shareholders upon achievement of certain milestones.

Company Overview

 

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing drugs for the treatment of cancer. Our goal is to advance our drug candidates into late stage pivotal clinical trials and either sell marketing rights to a larger pharmaceutical company or seek FDA approval ourselves.

 

Oncotelic’s lead product candidate, OT-101, is being developed as a broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug that can also be used in combination with other standard cancer therapies to establish an effective multi-modality treatment strategy for difficult-to-treat cancers. Together, we plan to initiate phase 3 clinical trials for OT-101 in both high-grade glioma and pancreatic cancer. During phase 2 clinical trials in pancreatic cancer, melanoma, and colorectal cancers (Study P001) and in high-grade gliomas (Study G004), meaningful clinical benefits were observed and OT-101 exhibited a favorable safety profile. These clinical benefits included long-term survival and meaningful tumor reduction. Both partial and complete responses have been observed in the G004 Phase 2 clinical trial of OT-101 as a single agent in patients with aggressive brain tumors.

 

Oncotelic’s self-immunization protocol (SIP©(SIP™) is based on novel and proprietary sequential treatment of cancers with OT-101 (an antisense against TGF-ß2) and chemotherapies. This sequential treatment strategy is aimed at achieving effective self-immunization against a patients’ own cancer, resulting in robust therapeutic immune response and consequently better control of the cancer and improved survival. Prolonged states of being cancer-free have been observed in some patients with the most aggressive forms of cancer, raising a renewed hope for a potential cure. The use of OT-101 lifts the suppression of the patient’s immune cells around the cancer tissue, providing the foundation for an effective initial priming, which is critical for a successful immune response. The subsequent chemotherapy results in the release of neoantigens that result in a robust boost of the immune response. We believe that a rational combination of the Oncotelic SIPSIP™ platform with immune-modulatory drugs like interleukin 2 (IL-2) and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors has the potential to help achieve sustained and robust immune responses in patients with the most difficult-to-treat forms of cancer.

 

Oncotelic is also working on developing OT-101 as a possible drug candidate that can be deployed in various epidemic and pandemic diseases, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (“SARS”) and specifically for the current COVID-19. As of the date of this report, the Company has filed an IND with the FDA to permit the Company to conduct clinical trials to prove the efficacy of OT-101 against COVID-19. In addition, the Company is developing artemisinin. Artemisinin, purified from a plant Artemisia annua, is able to inhibit TGF-β activity and is able to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). It has an EC50 of 0.45 ug/ml (In an in vitro study Mateon’s test result at Utah State University), and a Safety Index of 140. Artemisinin can target multiple viral threats including COVID-19 by suppressing both viral replication and clinical symptoms that arise from viral infection. Viral replication cannot occur without TGF-β. Artemisinin also has been reported to have antiviral activities against hepatitis B and C viruses, human herpes viruses, HIV-1, influenza virus A, and bovine viral diarrhea virus in the low micromolar range. TGF-β surge and cytokine storm cannot occur without TGF-β. Clinical consequences related to the TGF-β surge, including ARDS and cytokine storm, are suppressed by targeting TGF-β with Artemisinin.

Our artificial intelligence subsidiary, PointR, develops and deploys high performance cluster computers and AI technologies as a supercomputing grid that can be layered in and interconnected to create an all-point mesh to harvest operational data within manufacturing plant, hospitals, clinics, phase I units. These grids provide real-time, localized decision-making harvesting complex data from structured and unstructured sources. The deployment of this supercomputing grid enables data capture and insight extraction in real time in blocks which are chained into blockchain ledger records serving as immutable transactions for stakeholders such as regulatory agencies, caretakers, insurers, payers, and manufacturers. The PointR grid can integrate and fuse data from any type of sensors or collection devices. For example, the Vision platform is a network of activity detection cameras functionalized with AI algorithms to monitor, evaluate, and archive real time visual data as a series of metadata entries in a Blockchain ledger.

In the pharmaceutical industry PointR’s AI combined with Blockchain will be used in the entire life cycle of a drug: discovery, clinical trials and manufacturing. Leveraging its deep partnership with IBM, the PointR team will combine its own AI Vision technology with industry standard Blockchain to transform drug manufacturing and real-world evidence monitoring for clinical trials. The combined system has the potential to automatically record individual key steps in cGMP manufacturing operations including the flow of people, raw materials and operations in trusted perpetual blockchain ledgers that are indisputable. This has the potential to create much more efficient GMP manufacturing operations while simultaneously improving reliability and data security.

For the past year we have been operating under significant capital constraints, which has curtailed our ability to achieve meaningful progress in either of Mateon’sthe Company’s two clinical programs – one of which is developing OXi4503 as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes and the other of which is developing CA4P in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma. We believe that the merger of Oncotelic and Mateon creates a combined company that has potential to generate shareholder value through a promising pipeline of next generation immunotherapies targeting several significant cancer markets where there is a paucitylack of therapeutic options and lack of an effective immunotherapy protocol.

 

Research Service Agreement between Golden Mountain Partners LLC (GMP) and the Company.

When COVID-19 emerged in China, the Company and GMP contemplated a collaboration to develop drug candidates for COVID-19. Oncotelic and GMP entered into a research and services agreement (the “GMP Research Agreement”) on February 3, 2020 memorializing their collaborative efforts to develop and test COVID-19 antisense therapeutics (the “GMP Agreement Product”). On March 18, 2020, the Company reported the anti-viral activity of OT-101 – its lead drug candidate currently in phase 3 testing in pancreatic cancer and glioblastoma. In an in vitro antiviral testing performed by an independent laboratory, OT-101 has an 50% effective concentration (EC50) of 7.6 µg/mL and is not toxic at the highest dose of 1000 µg/mL giving a safety index (SI) value of >130, which is considered highly active. On March 23, 2020, the Company and GMP entered into a supplement to the GMP Research Agreement (the “GMP Research Supplement”) to confirm the inclusion of OT-101 within the scope of the GMP Research Agreement as a GMP Agreement Product, pending positive confirmatory testing against COVID-19. In consideration for the financial support provided by GMP for the research, pursuant to the terms of the GMP Research Agreement (as amended by the GMP Research Supplement) GMP is entitled to obtain certain exclusive rights to the use of the GMP Agreement Product in the COVID Field on a global basis, and an economic interest in the use of the GMP Agreement Product in the COVID Field including 50/50 profit sharing. As described in the GMP Research Supplement, the Company intends to license or assign intellectual property rights, including the 2020 Patent Application and any other intellectual property rights owned or controlled by the Company relating to the GMP Agreement Product, OXi4503 and CA4P, to a joint venture company (the “Joint Venture Transaction”) to be established jointly between Oncotelic and GMP (or its designee), as well as providing management services and other expertise to the joint venture company. GMP intends that it (or its designee, as the case may be) shall provide funding to the joint venture company to support its development and commercial activities in the joint venture company’s territories, and in each case, on terms to be agreed by the parties. GMP shall be entitled to use its governmental relations and local expertise in Greater China to assist with coordinating the research, development and commercialization of (i) the GMP Agreement Products in the COVID Field, (ii) the GMP Agreement Products in the OT101 Oncology Field, (iii) OXi4503; and (iv) CA4P, in each case in Greater China.

The joint venture company is intended to be owned 50% by Oncotelic and 50% by GMP (or its designee), and its principal activities shall be to research, develop, bring to market and commercialize: (i) the GMP Agreement Products in the COVID Field on a global basis, (ii) the GMP Agreement Products in the OT101 Oncology Field in the territory set forth above, (iii) OXi4503 in the territory set forth above; and (iv) CA4P in the territory set forth above. On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that it had delivered the requisite testing results to GMP confirming the applicability and potential use of OT-101 for the treatment of COVID-19. OT-101 exhibited potent activity against both COVID-19 and SARS with a robust safety index of >500. Also, the Company has submitted a Pre-Investigational New Drug application package to the Food and Drug Administration. GMP paid the Company fees of $300,000.00 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $900,000.00 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 for the services rendered under the agreement. The Company also recorded approximately $40,000 for reimbursement of actual costs incurred. The Company has received the total fees from GMP as of the date of this report.

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development (R&D)(“R&D”) expenses increased by approximately $0.3$0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 20192020 compared to the same period in 2018. Of this amount, approximately $0.2 million was the result of the inclusion of Mateon’s2019. The higher R&D operations and approximately $0.1 million was the result of an increase in Oncotelic’s R&D operations. Mateon’s R&D activities of $0.2 millioncost was primarily due to personnel costs.by higher amortization of intangibles of $0.1 million. The financial information presented does not include any R&D activity for MateonPointR for the period ended June 30, 2018 and as such the results for the Company are not directly comparative from period to period.

The increase of approximately $0.1 million in Oncotelic’s R&D activities is primarily due to higher personnel costs of approximately $0.1 million paid to a related party to conduct the R&D activities with the lead product candidate OT-101.2019.

 

As a result of our mergermergers with Oncotelic and PointR, we expect to increase research and development activities, including the initiation of new clinical trials including those for COVID-19, and therefore believe that research and development expenses will increase for the remainder of 20192020 compared to research and development expenses in 2018,2019, subject to our continuing ability to secure sufficient funding to continue planned operations.

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative (G&A)(“G&A”) expenses increased by approximately $0.9$0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 20192020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018,2019, primarily due to an increase of approximately $0.5 million in G&A expenses for Oncotelic’s operations and the addition of approximately $0.3 million related to Mateon’s G&A operations.

The increase of approximately $0.5 million in Oncotelic’s G&A activities is primarily due to higher legal and professional costs of approximately $0.3 million, related party personnel costsincreases of approximately $0.1 million and stock based compensation of approximately $0.3 million. The approximately $0.3 million in Mateon’s G&A activities was primarily due to approximately $0.1 million of higher personnel costs, approximately $0.1 million forincrease in legal and professional services and approximately $0.1 million of other corporate and facility expenses.

 

As a result of our mergermergers with Oncotelic and PointR, we expect general and administrativeG&A expenses to increase for the remainder of 2019 compared to the first six months of 20192020 in order to support our anticipated additional business development, fundraising, investor relations and administrative activities, subject to our continuing ability to secure sufficient funding to continue planned operations.

The Company has experienced net losses every year since inception and as of June 30, 20192020 had an accumulated deficit of approximately $7.7$16.2 million. As of June 30, 2019,2020, the Company had approximately $84,000$0.7 million in cash and current liabilities of approximately $2.0$8.2 million, of which approximately $1.3 million are net assumed liabilities of Mateon as part of the merger. TheWhile the Company does not expectexpects to generate revenue from product salesservices and or licensing milestones in the near future, andthe Company expects to incur significant additional operating losses over the next several years, primarily as a result of the Company’s plans to continue clinical trials for its investigational drugs.drugs, including for COVID-19. The Company’s limited capital resources, history of recurring losses and uncertainties as to whether the Company’s operations will become profitable raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained in this report do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The principal source of the Company’s working capital deficit to date has been the sale of equity securities. The Company will need to raise additional capital in order to fund its operations and continue development of product candidates. The Company is evaluating the options to further the development of Oncotelic’s lead product candidate, OT-101 in addition to evaluating the development pathway of its product candidates; OXi4503 and/or CA4P. Since April 2019, the Company has raised $889,000,$1,959,000, net of cash discounts of $111,000, through the sale of convertible debentures.

Following, the drawdown of the second traunche from the Bridge Investor, up to $400,000 in face value of Convertible Debentures remains available under the Securities Purchase Agreements.

On July 22, 2019, the Company entered into a separate convertible note purchase agreement with a third-party for $200,000. The convertible note bears an interest rate of 8% per annum due on 15th of each monthdebentures and are payable, at the option of the holder, either in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock. The convertible note has a maturity date of January 1, 2020.notes.

 

The Company anticipates raising substantial additional capital through the sale of equity securities and/or debt, but no other financing arrangements are in place at this time.

 

If the Company is unable to access additional funds when needed, it may not be able to continue the development of these investigational drugs and the Company could be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its development programs and operations. Any additional equity financing, if available, would be dilutive to the current stockholders and may not be available on favorable terms. Additional debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and could also be dilutive. The Company’s ability to access capital is not assured and, if access is not achieved on a timely basis, would materially harm the Company’s financial condition, the value of its common stockCommon Stock and its business prospects.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, with

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the participation ofExchange Act, our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and proceduresChief Financial Officer (“CFO”) conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report.Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based uponon that evaluation, our CEO and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officerCFO each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures wereare not effective due to certain material weaknessesprovide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in internal control over financial reporting described below.the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Material weaknessesWeaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Registrant’sour internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 20192020 based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 20192020 was not effective as a result of certain material weaknesses.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The ineffectiveness of the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which are observed in many small companies with a small number of accounting and financial reporting staff:

 

Lack of formal policies and procedures;
Lack of a functioning audit committee and independent directors on the Company’s board of directors to oversee financial reporting responsibilities;
Inadequate or lack of segregation of dutiesduties;
Lack of dedicated resources and experienced personnel to design and implement internal control procedures to support financial reporting objectives;
Lack of qualified accounting personnel to prepare and report financial information in accordance with GAAP; and
Lack of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks on a timely manner.

Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material weaknessesWeaknesses

Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions planned include:

 

Continue to search for, evaluate and recruit qualified independent outside directors;
Once independent directors are on Board, to set up a formal Audit Committee (and other Committees) of the Board of Directors
Hire qualified accounting personnel to prepare and report financial information in accordance with GAAP;
Identify gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our staff required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company; and
Continue to develop policies and procedures on internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness of operations on existing controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the threesix months ended June 30, 2019,2020, we continued to execute upon our planned remediation actions which are all intended to strengthen our overall control environment. WhileWe added two new directors to our permanent CFO resigned from the office on June 30, 2019, we have hired a consultant CFO, since the beginningBoard of June 2019, as well as to start the process of hiring additional resources, internally or as consultants.Directors and re-established our Audit Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and as a result of the merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary Oncotelic, Inc.Merger, we have consolidated all accounting functions to the Company headquarters and all record keeping has been migrated into the same accounting software. We have recruited a third party firm to assist us in the evaluation of our financial reporting capabilities as well as advise on complex accounting matters, including revenue recognition under ASC 606, goodwill impairment, fair value measurements etc.

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and believe that these remediation efforts will represent significant improvements in our control environment. Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management has identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting:

During period ending June 30, 2019, we completed the Merger with Oncotelic. In connection with the Merger, we acquired control of the operations, assets and liabilities of Oncotelic, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. During the period covered by this report we integrated supervision and oversight of Oncotelic’s financial reporting into our internal control systems.
Effective June 30, 2019, Matthew Loar resigned as our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Loar was replaced by Mr. Amit Shah who currently serves as our Chief Financial Officer.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the risk factors described below, for information about the risks and uncertainties related to our business, please see the risk factors described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. The risks described below and in our Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

 

The risks arising with respect to the historic Oncotelic business and operations may be different from what we anticipate, which could lead to significant, unexpected costs and liabilities and could materially and adversely affect our business going forward.

It is possible that we may not have fully anticipated the extent of the risks associated with the recent merger completed with Oncotelic.Merger. After the Merger, Oncotelic’s historic business was combined with Mateon and prior to the mergerMerger, Oncotelic had a significant operating history. As a consequence, we may be subject to claims, demands for payment, regulatory issues, costs and liabilities that were not and are not currently expected or anticipated. The risks involved with taking over a business with a significant operating history and the costs and liabilities associated with these risks may be greater than we anticipate. We may not be able to contain or control the costs or liabilities associated with Oncotelic’s historic business, which could materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, capital resources or results of operation.

 

Our historical results of operation may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business and period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful.

For accounting purposes, the our mergerMerger between Mateon and Oncotelic is treated as a “reverse merger” under U.S. GAAP and Oncotelic is considered the accounting acquirer. Oncotelic’s historical results of operations will replace the Mateon’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the mergerMerger and, for all periods following the merger,Merger, the Company’s financial statements will reflect the results of operations of the combined Company. Accordingly, the financial statements for the Company included in this Quarterly Report for periods prior to the mergerMerger are not the same as the Company’s prior reported filings with the SEC, which were derived from the operations of Mateon. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. The results of any one quarter should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

Our business may suffer from the severity or longevity of the COVID-19 Global Outbreak.

The COVID-19 is currently impacting countries, communities, supply chains and markets, as well as the global financial markets. To date, COVID-19 has not had a material impact on the Company, other than as set forth above. However, the Company cannot predict whether COVID- 19 will have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations due to understaffing, disruptions in government spending, among other factors. In addition, at this time we cannot predict the impact of COVID-19 on our ability to obtain financing necessary for the Company to fund its working capital requirements. In most respects, it is too early in the COVID-19 pandemic to be able to quantify or qualify the longer-term ramifications on our business, our customers and/or our potential investors.
