NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Nature of Operations

 

Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (“Enveric Biosciences, Inc.” “Enveric” or the “Company”) (formerly known as Ameri Holdings, Inc.) (“Ameri”) is a pharmaceutical company developing innovative, evidence-based cannabinoid medicines. The head office of the Company is located in Naples, Florida. The Company has the following wholly owned subsidiaries: Jay Pharma Inc. (“Jay Pharma”), 1306432 B.C. Ltd. (“HoldCo”), MagicMed Industries, Inc. (“MagicMed”), Enveric Canada, and Enveric Canada. The Company has an Amalgamation AgreementTherapeutics, Pty. Ltd. (“Amalgamation Agreement”) and tender agreement (“Tender Agreement”) with Jay Pharma, which were entered into in prior years.

On May 24, 2021, the Company entered into an Amalgamation Agreement (the “Amalgamation Agreement”) with 1306432 B.C. Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“HoldCo”), 1306436 B.C. Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Purchaser”), and MagicMed Industries Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (���MagicMed”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company, indirectly through Purchaser, acquired all of the outstanding securities of MagicMed in exchange for securities of the Company by way of an amalgamation under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement, such that, upon completion of the Amalgamation (as defined herein), the amalgamated corporation (“Amalco”) will be an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Amalgamation was completed on September 16, 2021.

At the effective time of the Amalgamation (the “Effective Time”), holders of outstanding common shares of MagicMed (the “MagicMed Shares”) received such number of shares of common stock of the Company (“Company Shares”) representing, together with the Company Shares issuable upon exercise of the MagicMed Warrants (“MagicMed Warrants”) and the Converted Options (each as defined herein), approximately 36.6% of the issued and outstanding Company Shares (on a fully diluted basis). The MagicMed Shares were initially converted into Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement), which immediately following the Amalgamation were redeemed for 0.00005 of a Company Share. Following such redemption, the shareholders of MagicMed received additional Company Shares equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement) multiplied by the number of MagicMed Shares held by each such shareholder. Additionally, following the Effective Time (i) each outstanding MagicMed stock option was converted into and became an option to purchase (the “Converted Options”) the number of Company Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of MagicMed Shares subject to such MagicMed stock option, and (ii) each holder of an outstanding MagicMed warrant (including Company Broker Warrants (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement), the MagicMed Warrants received upon exercise of such MagicMed Warrant that number of Company Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Amalgamation if, immediately prior to the date of the Amalgamation (the “Effective Date”), such holder had been the registered holder of the number of MagicMed Shares to which such holder would have been entitled if such holder had exercised such holder’s MagicMed Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time (the foregoing collectively, the “Amalgamation”Enveric Therapeutics”). In aggregate, holders of MagicMed Shares received 199,025 Company Shares, representing approximately 31.7% of the Company Shares following the consummation of the Amalgamation. The maximum number of Company Shares to be issued by the Company as in respect of the MagicMed Warrants and Converted Options shall not exceed 148,083 Company Shares.

The aggregate number of Company Shares that the Company issued in connection with the Amalgamation (collectively, the “Share Consideration”) was in excess of 20% of the Company’s pre-transaction outstanding Company Shares. Accordingly, the Company sought and received stockholder approval of the issuance of the Share Consideration in the Amalgamation in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, the Company appointed, effective as of the Effective Time two individuals selected by MagicMed to the Company Board of Directors, Dr. Joseph Tucker and Dr. Brad Thompson.

The Amalgamation Agreement contained representations and warranties, closing deliveries and indemnification provisions customary for a transaction of this nature. The closing of the Amalgamation was conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the Share Consideration being approved for listing on Nasdaq, (ii) the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 registering the Share Consideration and (iii) the approval (a) of the MagicMed stockholders of the Amalgamation and (b) of the Company’s stockholders of each of the Amalgamation and the issuance of the Share Consideration in the Amalgamation. The closing of the Amalgamation occurred on September 16, 2021.

 

MagicMed Industries develops and commercializes psychedelic-derived pharmaceutical candidates. MagicMed’s psychedelic derivativesPsychedelic Derivatives (as defined below) library, the Psybrary™, is an essential building block from which the industry can develop new patented products. The initial focus of the Psybrary™ is on psilocybin and DMTN-dimethyltry (“DMT”) derivatives, and it is then expected to be expanded to other psychedelics.

 

7

Following the Company’s amalgamation with MagicMed completed in September 2021 (the “Amalgamation”), the Company has continued to pursue the development of MagicMed’s proprietary Psychedelic Derivatives library, the Psybrary™ which the Company believes will help to identify and develop the right drug candidates needed to address mental health challenges, including cancer-related distress. The Company synthesizes novel versions of classic psychedelics, such as psilocybin, DMT, mescaline and MDMA, using a mixture of chemistry and synthetic biology, resulting in the expansion of the Psybrary™, which includes 15 patent families with over a million potential variations and hundreds of synthesized molecules. Within the Psybrary™ the Company has three different types of molecules, Generation 1 (classic psychedelics), Generation 2 (pro-drugs), and Generation 3 (new chemical entities). The Company is working to add novel psychedelic molecular compounds and derivatives (“Psychedelic Derivatives”) on a regular basis through its work at the Company’s labs in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where the Company has a team of PhD scientists with expertise in synthetic biology and chemistry. To date the Company has created over 500 molecules that are housed in the Psybrary™.

 

The Company screens newly synthesized molecules in the Psybrary™ through PsyAI™, a proprietary artificial intelligence (“AI”) tool. Leveraging AI systems is expected to reduce the time and cost of pre-clinical, clinical, and commercial development. The Company believes it streamlines pharmaceutical design by predicting ideal binding structures of molecules, manufacturing capabilities, and pharmacological effects to help determine ideal drug candidates, tailored to each indication. Each of these molecules that the Company believes are patentable can then be further screened to see how changes to its makeup alter its effects in order to synthesize additional new molecules. New compounds of sufficient purity are undergoing pharmacological screening, including non-clinical (receptors/cell lines), preclinical (animal), and ultimately clinical (human) evaluations. The Company intends to utilize the Psybrary™ and the AI tool to categorize and characterize the Psybrary™ substituents to focus on bringing more psychedelics-inspired molecules from discovery to the clinical phase.

Going Concern, Liquidity and Other Uncertainties

 

The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $90,241,366 as of June 30, 2023, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Further, the Company has operating cash outflows of $9,602,930 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had a loss from operations of $10,615,685. Since its inception, being a research and development company, the Company has not yet generated revenue and the Company has incurred continuing losses from its operations. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $68,050,972 and working capital of $17,044,634. Since inception, theThe Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. On July 26, 2022,These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

In assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company received net proceedsmonitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments. At June 30, 2023, the Company had cash of approximately $7.27,081,408 millionand working capital of $3,974,419. The Company’s current cash on hand is not sufficient enough to satisfy its operating cash needs for the 12 months from the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a resultgoing concern for a period of multiple offerings (see Note 9).one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plan to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include reducing the Company’s rate of spend, managing its cash flow, advancing its programs, and raising additional working capital through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, which may include collaborations with third parties as well as disciplined cash spending, to increase the Company’s cash runway. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be required to undertake cost-cutting measures including delaying or discontinuing certain operating activities.

 

The Company’s material cash requirements consist of working capital to fund capital expenditures incurred at their research facility in Calgary and their operations, which consist primarily of, without limitation, employee related expenses, product development activities conducted by third parties, research materials and lab supplies, facility related expenses including rent and maintenance, costs associated with preclinical studies, patent related costs, costs of regulatory and public company compliance, insurance costs, audit costs, consultants and legal fees. Additionally, the Company currently utilizes third-party contract CROs to assist with clinical development activities. If the Company obtains regulatory approval for any of their product candidates, they expect to incur significant expenses to engage third-party contract CMOs to carry out their clinical manufacturing activities as they do not yet have a commercial organization, and incur significant expenses related to developing their internal commercialization capability to support product sales, marketing and distribution. The Company’s current working capital resources are not sufficient to fund these material cash requirements for the next twelve months.

 

As a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the financial statements are issued. The Company expects to finance future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or business development transactions.

By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effects on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include determining the fair value of transactions involving common stock and the valuation of stock-based compensation, accruals associated with third party providers supporting research and development efforts, and estimated fair values of long liveslived assets used to record impairment charges related to intangible assets, acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), and goodwill, and allocation of purchase price in business acquisitions.assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). The computation of basic net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 20212022 excludes potentially dilutive securities. The computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted. In accordance with ASC 260-10-45-13,260 “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”), penny warrants were included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for the purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as 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. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 - Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 - Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

 

For certain financial instruments, including cash accounts receivable, and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values as of June 30, 20222023, and December 31, 20212022 because of their short-term nature.

 

The following table provides the financial liabilities measured on a recurring basis and reported at fair value on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and indicates the fair value of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value of warrant liabilities, derivative liability, and the derivative liability:investment options:

Leases

Operating lease assets are included within right-of-use operating lease asset and operating lease liabilities are included in current portion of right-of-use operating lease obligation and non-current portion of right-of-use operating lease obligation on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022. The Company has elected not to present short-term leases as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Redeemable Non-controlling Interest

 

In connection with the issuance of Akos Series A Preferred Stock, the Akos Purchase Agreement (as defined below in Note 8) and certificate of designation contain a put right guaranteed by the Company as defined in Note 6.8. Applicable accounting guidance requires an equity instrument that is redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity if it is redeemable (a) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, (b) at the option of the holder, or (c) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. As a result of this feature, the Company recorded the non-controlling interests as redeemable non-controlling interests and classified them in temporarymezzanine equity within its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet initially at its acquisition-date estimated redemption value or fair value. In addition, the Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument by accreting the embedded derivative at each reporting period over 12 months.

TheIn May 2023, pursuant to the Akos Series A Preferred Certificate of Designations, provides that upon the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of May 5, 2022, and only in the event that the Spin-Off has not occurred; or (ii) such time that Akos and the Company have abandoned the Spin-Off or the Company is no longer pursuing the Spin-Off in good faith, the holders of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock shall haveexercised the right (the “Put Right”), but not the obligation, to causePut Right (as defined below) requiring Akos to purchaseforce redemption of all or a portion of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock for a purchase price equal to $1,000 per share, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Akos Series A Preferred Certificate of Designations, plus all the accrued but unpaid dividends per share. Pursuant to the Akos Purchase Agreement, the Company has guaranteed the payment of the purchase price for the shares purchased under the Put Right.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company determines its reporting units in accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). The Company evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. The Company then evaluates each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meet the definition of a business, the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. The Company has multiple operations related to psychedelics and cannabinoids. Both of these operations exist under one reporting unit: Enveric. The Company has one operating segment and reporting unit. The Company is organized and operated as one business. Management reviews its business as a single operating segment, using financial and other information rendered meaningful only by the fact that such information is presented and reviewed in the aggregate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2023, and has determined that the adoption of this guidance had no impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock were entitled to vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as a single class, exclusively with respect to a proposal giving the Board the authority, as it determines appropriate, to implement a reverse stock split within twelve months following the approval of such proposal by the Company’s stockholders (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”), as well as any proposal to adjourn any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of voting on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on July 14, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”) for the purpose of voting on, among other proposals, a Reverse Stock Split Proposal and an Adjournment Proposal. All shares of Series C Preferred Stock that were not present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting were automatically redeemed by the Company immediately prior to the opening of the polls at Special Meeting (the “Initial Redemption”). All shares that were not redeemed pursuant to the Initial Redemption were redeemed automatically upon the approval by the Company’s stockholders of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal at the Special Meeting (the “Subsequent Redemption” and, together with the Initial Redemption, the “Redemption”). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was entitled to receive $0.10 in cash for each 10 whole shares of Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Redemption. As of June 30, 2022, there were 52,684.548 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. As of August 12, 2022, both the Initial Redemption and the Subsequent Redemption have occurred. As a result, no shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

The Company was not solely in control of redemption of the shares since the holders had the option of deciding whether to return a proxy card for the Special Meeting, which determined whether a given holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock were redeemed in the Initial Redemption or the Subsequent Redemption. Since the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock was not solely in the control of the Company, the preferred shares are classified within temporary equity in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The preferred shares were initially measured at redemption value. The value of the preferred shares as of June 30, 2022 is $527.

Purchase agreement with Prof. Zvi Vogel and Dr. Ilana Nathan

 

On December 26, 2017, Jay Pharma entered into a purchase agreement with Prof. Zvi Vogel and Dr. Ilana Nathan (the “Vogel-Nathan Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Jay Pharma was assigned ownership rights to certain patents, which were filed and unissued as of the date of the Vogel-Nathan Purchase Agreement. The Vogel-Nathan Purchase Agreement includes a commitment to pay a one-time milestone totaling $200,000 upon the issuance of a utility patent in the United States or by the European Patent Office, as defined in the agreement. The Company has accrued such amount as of December 31, 2021, as a result of the milestone criteria being achieved. Payment was made during January 2022. In addition, a milestone payment totaling $300,000 is due upon initiation of a Phase II(b) study. Research activities related to the relevant patents are still in pre-clinical stage, and accordingly, this milestone has not been achieved. The Vogel-Nathan Purchase Agreement contains a commitment for payment of royalties equaling 2% of the first $20 million in net sales derived from the commercialization of products utilizing the relevant patent. As these products are still in the preclinical phase of development, no royalties have been earned.

Other Consulting and Vendor Agreements

The Company has entered into a number of agreements and work orders for future consulting, clinical trial support, and testing services, with terms ranging between 1 and 18 months. These agreements, in aggregate, commit the Company to approximately $1.6 million in future cash payments.

The Plan Amendment was approved by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on July 14, 2022.

July 2022 Offerings

On July 22, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Registered Direct Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor for the purchase and sale of 116,500 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”), pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 258,500 shares of Common Stock (the “RD Pre-Funded Warrants”), and unregistered preferred investment options (the “RD Preferred Investment Options”) to purchase up to 375,000 shares of Common Stock (the “RD Offering”). The combined purchase price for one share of Common Stock and associated RD Preferred Investment Option was $8.00, and the combined purchase price for a RD Pre-Funded Warrant and associated RD Preferred Investment Option was $7.9999. The RD Preferred Investment Options have an exercise price of $7.78 per share, were immediately exercisable, and will expire five and one-half years from the date of issuance. Shares of Common Stock and RD Pre-Funded Warrants issued in the RD Offering were offered pursuant to a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-257690) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 2, 2021 and declared effective by the SEC on July 9, 2021, and a prospectus supplement, dated July 22, 2022, to the shelf registration statement, filed with the SEC on July 26, 2022. The gross proceeds from RD Offering was approximately $3,000,000.

Concurrently with the RD Offering, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “PIPE Securities Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors for the purchase and sale of 116,000 shares of Common Stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 509,000 shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants”), and preferred investment options (the “PIPE Preferred Investment Options”) to purchase up to 625,000 shares of the Common Stock in a private placement (the “PIPE”).

The combined purchase price for one share of Common Stock and associated PIPE Preferred Investment Option was $8.00, and the combined purchase price for a PIPE Pre-Funded Warrant and associated PIPE Preferred Investment Option was $7.9999. The PIPE Preferred Investment Options have an exercise price of $7.78 per share, were immediately exercisable, and will expire five and one-half years from the date of issuance. The gross proceeds from the PIPE was approximately $5,000,000.

Concurrently with the RD Offering and the PIPE, the Company entered into Warrant Amendment Agreements (the “Warrant Amendments”) with the investors in both offerings to amend certain existing warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 122,000 shares of Common Stock that were previously issued to the investors, with an exercise price of $27.50 per share and expiration date of February 15, 2027. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendments, the previously issued warrants were amended, effective upon the closing of the offerings, so that the amended warrants have a reduced exercise price of $7.78 per share and expire five and one-half years following the closing of the offerings.

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) acted as the exclusive placement agent for the RD Offering and the PIPE, pursuant to the engagement letter with the Company, dated as of July 11, 2022. Upon closing of the offerings, the Company paid Wainwright a cash transaction fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds to us from the offerings and reimbursement of certain expenses. The Company also issued Wainwright preferred investment options to purchase 70,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Wainwright Warrants”). The Wainwright Warrants have substantially the same terms as the RD Preferred Investment Options and the PIPE Preferred Investments Options, except that the Wainwright Warrants have an exercise price of $10.00 per share and will expire five years after the commencement of sales of the offerings.

The RD Offering and the PIPE closed on July 26, 2022. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of approximately $7.2 million received from the offerings for general working capital purposes.

Business Overview

 

We are an early-development-stage biosciencesa biotechnology company that is developing innovative, evidence-based prescription productsdedicated to the development of novel small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of anxiety, depression, and combination therapies containing cannabinoids to address unmet needs in cancer care.addiction disorders. We seek to improve the lives of patients suffering from cancer, initially by developing palliative and supportive care products for people suffering from certain side effects of cancer and cancer treatment such as pain or skin irritation. We currently intend to offer such palliative and supportive care products in the United States, following approval through established regulatory pathways.

 

Psychedelics

 

Following our amalgamation with MagicMed completed in September 2021 (the “Amalgamation”), we have continued to pursue the development of MagicMed’s proprietary psychedelic derivativesPsychedelic Derivatives library, the Psybrary™ which we believe will help us to identify and develop the right drug candidates needed to address mental health challenges, including cancer-related distress. We synthesize novel versions of classic psychedelics, such as psilocybin, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), mescaline and MDMA, using a mixture of chemistry and synthetic biology, resulting in the expansion of the Psybrary™, which includes 15 patent families with over a million potential variations and hundreds of synthesized molecules. Within the Psybrary™ we have three different types of molecules, Generation 1 (classic psychedelics), Generation 2 (pro-drugs), and Generation 3 (new chemical entities). The Company is working to add novel psychedelic molecular compounds and derivatives (“Psychedelic Derivatives”)Derivatives on a regular basis through our work at Enveric Labs in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where we have a team of PhD scientists with expertise in synthetic biology and chemistry. To date we have created over 500 molecules that are housed in the Psybrary.

 

We screen newly synthesized molecules in the Psybrary™ through PsyAI™, a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI)AI tool. Leveraging AI systems is expected to reduce the time and cost of pre-clinical, clinical, and commercial development. We believe it streamlines pharmaceutical design by predicting ideal binding structures of molecules, manufacturing capabilities, and pharmacological effects to help determine ideal drug candidates, tailored to each indication. Each of these molecules that we believe are patentable can then be further screened to see how changes to its makeup alter its effects in order to synthesize additional new molecules. New compounds of sufficient purity are undergoing pharmacological screening, including non-clinical (receptors/cell lines), preclinical (animal), and ultimately clinical (human) evaluations. We intend to utilize our Psybrary™ and the AI tool to categorize and characterize the Psybrary™ substituents to focus on bringing more psychedelics-inspired molecules from discovery to the clinical phase.

Cannabinoids

 

We are also aimingaim to advance a pipeline of novel cannabinoid combination therapies for the side effects of cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

 

We intend to bring together leading oncology clinicians, researchers, academic and industry partners to develop both external proprietary products and a robust internal pipeline of product candidates aimed at improving quality of life and outcomes for cancer patients. We intend to evaluate options to out-license our proprietary technology as it moves along the regulatory pathway.

 

 21

In developing our product candidates, we intend to focus on cannabinoids derived from non-hemp botanical sources, and synthetic materials containing no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)(“THC”) in order to comply with U.S. federal regulations. Of the potential cannabinoids to be used in therapeutic formulations, THC, which is responsible for the psychoactive properties of marijuana, can result in undesirable mood effects. Selected cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) candidates, on the other hand, have amounts of THC well below 0.1% and are not psychotropic and therefore more attractive candidates for translation into therapeutic practice. Drugs with less than 0.1% THC have a history, when approved as drugs by FDA,the Food and Drug Administration “FDA”, of being able to be rescheduled by DEA from Schedule I to Schedule V, as in the case of Epidiolex and Marinol. In the future, we may utilize cannabinoids that are derived from cannabis plants, which may contain higher amounts of THC; however, we only intend to do so in jurisdictions where THC is legal. However, synthetic THC is a Schedule I controlled substance; so, the use of any APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) containing synthetic THC (or naturally derived THC in concentrations greater than 0.3%) may increase regulatory scrutiny and require additional expenses and authorizations. All current and future product candidates that we are developing or may develop will be tested for safety and efficacy under an IND application and subject to the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)FDA pre-market approval process for new drugs.

24

 

While we continue to pursue the development of our cannabinoid-based product candidates, our principal focus is on the development of psychedelic-based treatments.

 

On May 11, 2022, the Company announced plans to transfer and spin-off its cannabinoid clinical development pipeline assets (the “Spin-Off”) to Akos Biosciences, Inc. (formerly known as Acanna Therapeutics, Inc.), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company (“Akos”). In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company would transfer its cannabinoid clinical development pipeline assets to Akos, while retaining its psychedelics clinical development pipeline assets.

The Spin-Off was subject to various conditions, including Akos meeting the qualifications for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market, and if successful, would result in two standalone public companies.

 

In May 2023, pursuant to the Akos Series A Preferred Certificate of Designations, the holders of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock exercised their Put Right requiring Akos to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Akos Series A Preferred Stock for $1,000 per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends of approximately $50,000 for a total redemption amount of approximately $1,052,057. The Company completed the redemption May 19, 2023. The Company now plans to engage with strategic advisors to identify and pursue alternative routes to capture value from the cannabinoid assets.

Recent Developments

Reverse Stock Split

On July 14, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock, effective as of 4:05 p.m. (New York time) on July 14, 2022 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), during which the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-100, with such ratio to be determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and included in a public announcement. Following the meeting, the Board determined to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-50 and approved the corresponding final form of the Certificate of Amendment.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 50 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the next whole number. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from 52,684,548 shares to 1,054,043 shares. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock under the Certificate of Incorporation remained unchanged at 100,000,000 shares. All historical share and per share amounts reflected throughout this report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split described above.

Proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding stock options granted by the Company, and the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

February 2022 OfferingAustralian Subsidiary

 

On February 15, 2022, we completed a public offering of 400,000 shares of Common StockMarch 21, 2023, the Company established Enveric Therapeutics, Pty. Ltd. (“Enveric Therapeutics”), an Australia-based subsidiary, to support the Company’s plans to advance its EVM201 Series towards the clinic. Enveric Therapeutics will oversee the Company’s preclinical, clinical, and warrants to purchase up to 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $10 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acted as sole book-running manager forregulatory activities in Australia, including ongoing interactions with the offering. In addition, we granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 60,000 shares of common stock and/or warrants to purchase up to an additional 60,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price, which the underwriter has partially exercised for warrants to purchase up to 60,000 shares of common stock. At closing, we received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $9.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses with $5.8 million allocated to equity, $3.6 million to warrant liabilitylocal Human Research Ethics Committees (HREC) and the remaining $0.3 million recorded as an expense.Therapeutic Goods Administration (“TGA”), Australia’s regulatory authority.

 

Series C Preferred Shares

On May 3, 2022,March 23, 2023, the BoardCompany issued a press release announcing the selection of Directors (the “Board”) declaredAustralian CRO, Avance Clinical, in preparation for Phase 1 Study of EB-373, the Company’s lead candidate targeting the treatment of anxiety disorders. Under the agreement, Avance Clinical will manage the Phase 1 clinical trial of EB-373 in coordination with the Company’s newly established Australian subsidiary, Enveric Therapeutics Pty, Ltd. The Phase 1 clinical trial is designed as a dividendmulti-cohort, dose-ascending study to measure the safety and tolerability of one one-thousandthEB-373. EB-373, a next-generation proprietary psilocin prodrug, has been recognized as a New Chemical Entity (NCE) by Australia’s TGA and is currently in preclinical development targeting the treatment of a shareanxiety disorder. The total cost of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) for each outstanding shareAvance Clinical contract is approximately 3,000,000 AUD, which translates to approximately $2,000,000 as of June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has paid approximately $1,125,103 of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) held of recordAvance Clinical contract costs and has $783,819 recorded as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 13, 2022 (the “Record Date”). This dividend was based onprepaid assets. For the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock prior tothree and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Reverse Stock Split. The outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock were entitled to vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as a single class, exclusively with respect to a proposal giving the Board the authority, as it determines appropriate, to implement a reverse stock split within twelve months following the approval of such proposal by the Company’s stockholders (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”), as well as any proposal to adjourn any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of voting on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).Company has expensed $354,419 and $355,232 in research and development expenses, respectively.

The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on July 14, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”) for the purpose of voting on, among other proposals, a Reverse Stock Split Proposal and an Adjournment Proposal. All shares of Series C Preferred Stock that were not presentReduction in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting were automatically redeemed by the Company immediately prior to the opening of the polls at Special Meeting (the “Initial Redemption”). All shares that were not redeemed pursuant to the Initial Redemption were redeemed automatically upon the approval by the Company’s stockholders of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal at the Special Meeting (the “Subsequent Redemption” and, together with the Initial Redemption, the “Redemption”). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was entitled to receive $0.10 in cash for each 10 whole shares of Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Redemption. As of June 30, 2022, there were 52,684.548 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. As of August 12, 2022, both the Initial Redemption and the Subsequent Redemption have occurred. As a result, no shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

The Company was not solely in control of redemption of the shares since the holders had the option of deciding whether to return a proxy card for the Special Meeting, which determine whether a given holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock were redeemed in the Initial Redemption or the Subsequent Redemption. Since the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock was not solely in the control of the Company, the preferred shares are classified within temporary equity in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The redemption value of the preferred shares as of June 30, 2022 is $527.

Spin-Off and Related Private PlacementForce/Restructuring

 

In connection with the planned Spin-Off, on May 5, 2022, Akos and2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Akos Purchase Agreement”)cost reduction plan, including a reduction in force of approximately 35% of its full-time employees to streamline its operations and conserve cash resources. Additionally, contracts with an accredited investor (the “Akos Investor”), pursuant to which Akos agreed to sell up to an aggregate of 5,000 shares of Akos’ Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Akos Series A Preferred Stock”), at price of $1,000 per share, and warrants (the “Akos Warrants”) to purchase shares of Akos’ common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Akos Common Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of up to $5,000,000 (the “Akos Private Placement”). The Akos Purchase Agreement is guaranteed by the Company. Pursuant toseven consultants that were focused on the Akos Purchase Agreement, Akos has issued 1,000 shares of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock to the Akos Investor in exchange for $1,000,000 on May 5, 2022. The additional $4,000,000cannabinoid spin-out will be receivedterminated. The Company recognized severance charges of approximately $453,059 through June 30, 2023. The plan included a focus on or immediately prior toprogressing the Spin-Off. The issuanceCompany’s existing non-cannabinoid pipeline while reducing the rate of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock results in a non-controlling interest (“NCI”) (see Note 2). Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC (“Palladium”) acted as placement agent for the Private Placement. Pursuant to the Akos Purchase Agreement, Akos has agreed to pay Palladium a fee equal to 9% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of the shares of the Akos Series A Preferred Stockspend and a non-accountable expense allowance of 1% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised the sale of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock in the Akos Private Placement. The fee due in connection with the Akos Private Placement shall be paid to Palladium in the form of convertible preferred stock and warrants on similar terms to the securities issued in the Akos Private Placement.managing cash flow. As of June 30, 2022, there have been no accruals recorded for the fees or warrants since the closing of the spin-off is not probable.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has had an accumulated deficit of $68,050,972 and working capital of $17,044,634. Since inception, theThe Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

On February 15, 2022,

In assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company completed a registered direct offering of 400,000 shares of Common Stock at approximately $25.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $10.0 million. The net proceedsmonitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments. At June 30, 2023, the Company after deducting financial advisory feeshad cash of $7,081,408 and other costs and expenses were approximately $9.1 million.

On July 26, 2022,working capital of $3,974,419. The Company’s current cash on hand is not sufficient enough to satisfy its operating cash needs for the Company completed a registered direct offering and a concurrent private offering12 months from the filing of an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (or pre-funded warrants) and preferred investment optionsthis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $7.78 per share of Common Stock, at approximately $8.00 per share (or pre-funded warrant) and preferred investment option to purchase one share of Common Stock, for gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million. The net proceeds to the Company after deducting financial advisory fees and other costs and expenses were approximately $7.2 million.

We believe that,continue as a resultgoing concern for a period of Februaryone year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plan to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include reducing the Company’s rate of spend, managing its cash flow, advancing its programs, and July offerings, we currently have sufficient cash and financing commitments to meet our funding requirements over the next year. Notwithstanding, we expect that we will need to raiseraising additional financing to accomplish our development plan over the next several years. Weworking capital through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, which may seek to obtain additional funding through debt or equity financing in the future. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all, or that cash flows generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our current operating costs. Our ability to obtain additional capital may depend on prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors beyond our control. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unstable economic environment globally. Disruptions in the global financial markets may adversely impact the availability and cost of credit,include collaborations with third parties as well as our abilitydisciplined cash spending, to increase the Company’s cash runway. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Should the Company be unable to raise money in the capital markets. Current economic conditions have been and continue to be volatile. Continued instability in these market conditions may limit our ability to access the capital necessary to fund and grow our business. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, wethe Company may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development, which could harm our financial condition andundertake cost-cutting measures including delaying or discontinuing certain operating results.

activities.

 

In May 2023, the Company entered into a cost reduction plan, including a reduction in force of approximately 35% of its full-time employees to streamline its operations and conserve cash resources. Additionally, contracts with seven consultants that were focused on the Akos cannabinoid spin-out will be terminated. Additionally, on June 16, 2023, the Company entered into the Kanubaddi Separation Agreement with Avani Kanubaddi, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. In accordance with the Kanubaddi Separation Agreement, Mr. Kanubaddi’s outstanding RSUs will retain their vesting conditions. Mr. Kanubaddi’s 2023 salary and benefits was accrued and will be paid out in twelve equal monthly installments beginning in July 2023. The Company recognized severance charges of approximately $917,527 through June 30, 2023, with $190,808 of these charges paid as of June 30, 2023. The plan included a focus on progressing the Company’s existing non-cannabinoid pipeline while reducing the rate of spend and managing cash flow. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has completed the reduction in force, with such severance expenses recorded in salaries and wages and legal accounts.

As a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the financial statements are issued. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Cash Flows

Since inception, we have primarily used our available cash to fund our product development and operations expenditures.

Item 4. Controls and proceduresProcedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified under the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. A material weakness is a deficiency, or 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 matters that management identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on March 31, 2022, continued to exist and were still considered material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2022.2023.

 

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022.2023. Based on this evaluation, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in paragraph (e) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2022.2023.

Management’s Remediation Plan

 

As previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on March 31, 2022, management had concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021,2022, because management identified inadequate segregation of duties to ensure the processing, review, and authorization of all transactions, including non-routine transactions resulting in deficiencies, which, in aggregate, amounted to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

As of June 30, 2022,2023, there were control deficiencies whichthat constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Management has taken, and is taking steps to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting: we have conducted evaluation of the material weakness to determine the appropriate remedy and have established procedures for documenting disclosures and disclosure controls.

 

While we have taken certain actions to address the material weaknesses identified, additional measures may be necessary as we work to improve the overall effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than the changes discussed above in the Remediation Plan, there have been no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the second quarter ending June 30, 2022,2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

WeOther than as described below, we do not have any pending litigation that, separately or in the aggregate, would, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Item 1A. Risk factorsFactors

 

The following description of risk factors includes any material changes to, and supersedes the description of, risk factors associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021 on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of whichFactors that could directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to varydiffer materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial conditionthose in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described below and operating results.in the Annual Report. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations of financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

 

The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Form 10-Q. The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q.

Certain directors who serve on our Board of Directors may also serve as directors of Akos, and ownership of shares of Akos common stock by our directors and executive officers may create, or appear to create, conflicts of interest.

Certain of our directors who serve on our Board of Directors may also serve on the board of directors of Akos. This may create, or appear to create, conflicts of interest when our, or Akos’ management and directors could face decisions that could have different implications for us and Akos, including the resolution of any dispute regarding the terms of the agreements governing the Spin-Off and the relationship between us and Akos after the Spin-Off or any other commercial agreements entered into in the future between us and the spun-off business and the allocation of such directors’ time between us and Akos. The continued or future ownership of such common stock by our directors and executive officers following the Spin-Off may create the appearance of a conflict of interest when these directors and executive officers are faced with decisions that could have different implications for us and Akos.

The Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our common stock.

The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be affected adversely by the Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares that are outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split would have increased the number of stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our common stock, creating the potential for such stockholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting such sales.

We may not meetrealize the continued listing requirementsbenefits we expect from our cost reduction plan or, as a result of the reduction in force, we may not be successful in attracting, motivating and retaining highly qualified personnel in the future.

In May 2023, the Company entered into a cost reduction plan, including a reduction in force of approximately 35% of its full-time employees. Additionally, contracts with seven consultants that were focused on the Akos cannabinoid spin-out will be terminated. In addition, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Avani Kanubaddi, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. The Nasdaq Capital Market, whichCompany recorded a charge of approximately $918,000 in severance and benefits. The Company may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits and savings from its cost reduction plan, and it cannot guarantee that it will not have to undertake additional reductions in force or restructuring activities in the future. Furthermore, the cost reduction plan may be disruptive to the Company’s operations. For example, the cost reduction plan could yield unanticipated consequences, such as attrition beyond planned staff reductions, increased difficulties in the Company’s day-to-day operations and reduced employee morale.

The reduction in force could also harm the Company’s ability to attract, motivate and retain qualified personnel who are critical to its business in the future. Recruiting and retaining qualified employees, consultants and advisors for the Company’s business is and will continue to be critical to its success. Competition for skilled personnel is intense and the turnover rate can be high. Any failure to attract or retain qualified personnel could prevent the Company from successfully developing the Company’s product candidates in the future.

Our reprioritization and the associated headcount reduction may not result in anticipated savings, could result in a delisting oftotal costs and expenses that are greater than expected and could disrupt our common stock.business.

 

Our common stockThe Company may incur additional expenses not currently contemplated due to events associated with the reduction in force entered into by the Company in May 2023, for example, the reduction in force may have a future impact on other areas of the Company’s liabilities and obligations. The Company may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits and savings from the reduction in force due to unforeseen difficulties, delays or unexpected costs. If the Company is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We haveunable to realize the expected operational efficiencies and cost savings from the reduction in force, the Company’s operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected. In addition, the Company may need to undertake restructuring activities or workforce reductions in the past, andfuture. Furthermore, the Company’s initiatives to re-balance its cost structure, including the reduction in force, may be disruptive to the Company’s operations. If employees who were not affected by the reduction in force seek alternative employment, this could result in the future, be unable to comply with certainCompany seeking contractor support at unplanned additional expense or harm its productivity. Any disruption in the Company’s business as a result of the listing standards that we are required to meet to maintain the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. For instance, on February 18, 2022, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Staff”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between January 5, 2022, through February 17, 2022, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). On July 29, 2022, we received a letter from the Staff stating that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from July 15 to July 28, 2022, the closing bid price of our common stock had been at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly,reduction in force could prevent the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

Infrom successfully developing the event that we fail to satisfy any ofCompany’s product candidates in the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted. If we are unable to list on The Nasdaq Capital Market, it would likely be more difficult to trade in or obtain accurate quotations as to the market price of our common stock. If our common stock is delisted from trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and we are not able to list our common stock on another exchange or to have it quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market, our securities could be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or on the “pink sheets.” As a result, we could face significant adverse consequences including, without limitation,future.

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our Company; and
a decreased ability to issue additional securities (including pursuant to short-form registration statements on Form S-3 or obtain additional financing in the future).
