NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 — THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business–Enochian BioSciences Inc., (“Enochian”, or “Registrant”, and together with its subsidiaries, Enochian Biopharma, Inc. (“Enochian Biopharma”), and Enochian Biosciences Denmark ApS (“Enochian Denmark”), the “Company”, “we” or “us”) engages inis a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company committed to using our genetically modified cellular and immune-therapy technologies to prevent or potentially cure HIV, Hepatitis B (HBV), and to provide potentially life-long cancer remission of some of the research and development, manufacturing and clinical trials of pharmaceutical and biological products for the treatment of HIV and cancer in humans. The Registrant was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 18, 2011.deadliest cancers. 

 

AcquisitionBasis of Enochian Biopharma-Presentation- On January 12, 2018,The Company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Registrant, DanDrit Acquisition Sub, Inc.,United States of America (“Acquisition Sub”U.S. GAAP”), Enochian Biopharma and Weird Science, LLC (“Weird Science”) entered into an agreement to acquire Enochian Biopharma (the “Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which on February 16, 2018, Enochian Biopharma became a wholly owned subsidiaryfollows the rules and regulations of the Registrant (the “Acquisition”U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As consideration for the Acquisition, the stockholders of Enochian Biopharma received (i) 18,081,962 shares of the Common Stock of the Registrant and (ii) the right to receive earn-out shares of Common Stock (“Contingent Shares”) pro rata upon the exercise or conversion of warrants, which were outstanding at closing. At December 31, 2019, 1,438,122 Contingent Shares remained unissued.

Basis of Presentation–The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at December 31, 20192020 and 20182019 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaU.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s June 30, 20192020 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 20192020 and 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Consolidation–Consolidation - For the three months and six months ended December 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Registrant, Enochian Denmark, and Enochian Biopharma.its subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Reclassification–Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For the three months and six months period December 31, 2018, we reclassified the stock-based compensation expense of $1,780,059 and $1,866,225 and consulting expense of $32,725 and $94,760, respectively to general and administrative expenses.

Functional Currency / Foreign currency translation— The functional currency of Enochian Denmark is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during periods ended December 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statements of operations as incurred. 

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements —In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Originally, entities were required to adopt ASU 2016-02 using a modified retrospective transition method. However, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to Leases (Topic 842), which provides entities with an additional transition method. Under ASU No. 2018-11, entities have the option of recognizing the cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the year of adoption while continuing to present all prior periods under previous lease accounting guidance. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Leases (Topic 842), which clarifies how to apply certain aspects of ASU 2016-02. Additionally, in March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Codification Improvements to Leases (Topic 842), which clarifies the transition disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2019using the prospective transition method allowed per ASU 2018-11, and applied the standard only to leases that existed on that date. Under the prospective transition method, the Company does not need to restate the comparative period in transition and will continue to present financial information and disclosures for periods before July 1, 2019 in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 840. The Company has elected the package of practical expedients allowed under ASC Topic 842, which permits the Company to account for its existing operating leases as operating leases under the new guidance, without reassessing the Company’s prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct cost. As a result, of the adoption of the new lease accounting guidance the Company recognized, on July 1, 2019, operating lease right–of–use assets and operating lease liabilities of $1,961,544, and $2,054,295, respectively. On December 31, 2019, the right-of-use assets and the operating lease liabilities included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet are $1,833,933 and $1,930,982, respectively. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. This ASU includes additional disclosures requirements for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements including disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income, disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and narrative description of measurement uncertainty related to Level 3 measurements. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will be effective for us on July 1, 2020. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and, as such, we are not able to estimate the effect the adoption of the new standard will have on our financial statements

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

Accounting Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates include the fair value and potential impairment of intangible assets, depreciation of fixed assets, and fair value of equity instruments issued.

 

COVID-19- During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The pandemic has significantly affected the economic conditions in the U.S. A number of states, counties and municipalities issued orders requiring persons who were not engaged in essential activities and businesses to remain at home. On March 27, 2020, the US enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Aid (“CARES Act”) to help stimulate an economic recovery; however, there are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last or how many people are likely to be affected by it. No one knows what over-all effects the COVID-19 pandemic will have on economic conditions during the remainder of the fiscal year.

Our senior management team is monitoring COVID-19’s impact daily and will continue to adjust our operations as necessary. However, the impact of this event on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Functional Currency & Foreign currency translation - The functional currency of Enochian Denmark is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods ended December 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had balances held in financial institutions in Denmark and in the United States in excess of federally insured States amounts at December 31, 20192020 and June 30, 20192020 of $8,626,677$3,173,624 and $1,282,224,$8,444,935, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment— Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized, upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from four to ten years (See Note 3).

 

Intangible Assets - The Company has both Definite and Indefinite life intangible assets.

Definite life intangible assets include patents. The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Patent costs consist of costs incurred to acquire the underlying patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining capitalized patent costs are charged to expense. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of patents is twenty years from the date of application.

 

Indefinite life intangible assets include license agreements and goodwill. The Company accounts for indefinite life intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. License agreement cost representscosts represent the fair valueFair Value of the license agreement on the date acquired and are tested annually for impairment at the end of each fiscal year.impairment. The fair value analysis performed on the license agreements, and the fair value analysis performed on goodwill supported that both indefinite life intangible assets are not impaired as of June 30, 20192020, and no impairment is deemed necessary as of December 31, 2020. (See Note 4).

 

Goodwill—Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually in the fiscal fourth quarteras of June 30th or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. Our detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit and is based on discounted cash flows or relative market-based approaches. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, then it is concluded that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is required to measure possible goodwill impairment loss. The second step includes hypothetically valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the reporting unit'sunit’s goodwill is compared to the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit'sunit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value.

 

The carrying value of goodwill at December 31, 2019,2020, was $11,640,000. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to test for impairment losses on goodwill. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to an impairment charge that could be material.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets— Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, patents and licenses are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

 

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and would no longer be depreciated. The depreciable basis of assets that are impaired and continue in use is their respective fair values.

Leases-Leases The— In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company determinesdetermined the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified.thereafter. The lease terms include any renewal options and termination options that the Company is reasonably assured to exercise, if applicable. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the implicit interest rate in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company develops an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the future payments.

Rent expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis, unless the operating lease right of use assets have been impaired, over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in operating expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. For operating leases that reflect impairment, the Company will recognize the amortization of the operating lease right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term with rent expense still included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company’s non-lease components are primarily related to property maintenance, insurance and taxes, which vary based on future outcomes, and thus are recognized in general and administrative expenses when incurred. (See Note 5).

Research and Development Expenses— The Company expenses research and development costs incurred in formulating, improving, validating and creating alternative or modified processes related to and expanding the use of the HIV, HBV, and cancerCancer therapies and technologies for use in the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy for HIV, HBV, and cancer.Cancer. Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively,2020 amounted to $561,468$1,334,468, and $788,968,$2,384,844, respectively. Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, amounted to $1,081,660$561,468, and $1,282,523, respectively. $1,081,660.

Income Taxes— The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes. During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s Danish subsidiary received a payment for an R&D tax credit owed under Danish statutory tax laws for $122,831.

 

Loss Per Share— The Company calculates earnings/(loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) are based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock, par value 0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock. Potential shares of Common Stock included in the diluted earnings per share calculation include in-the-money stock options that have been granted but have not been exercised. Because of the net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the dilutive shares for both periods were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as the effect of these potential shares of Common Stock is anti-dilutive. The Company had 4,072,275 and 3,448,473 potential shares of Common Stock excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as of December 31, 2020 and December 30, 2019.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments— The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

11

ENOCHIAN BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

 Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

 Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

Unless otherwise disclosed,The Company adopted ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements, which amends certain disclosures requirements over fair value measurements. Under the new guidance, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy or valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. However, public companies will be required to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and related changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2020, and there was no material impact to its condensed consolidated financial statement disclosures (See Note 2-Fair Value of Financial Instruments for more information about the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations and notes payable approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.fair value classifications.)

 

The following table sets forth the liabilities at December 31, 2019, which is recorded on the balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

NOTE 2 — REVISION OF 2018 FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT — The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The were no Level 1, 2 or 3 assets, nor any Level 1 or 2 liabilities as of December 31, 2020.

 

The Company discovered that it had incorrectly classifiedLevel 3 liabilities held as of December 31, 2020 consisted of a contingent consideration liability related to the intangible assets that were purchased as part of theFebruary 16, 2018 acquisition of Enochian BioPharma (the “Acquisition”). As consideration for the Acquisition, the stockholders of Enochian Biopharma Inc. as finite-lived (amortizable), rather than indefinite-lived intangible assets (not amortized). ASC 350-Intangibles- Goodwillreceived (i) 18,081,962 shares of Common Stock, and Other requires that all intangible assets acquired(ii) the right to receive Contingent Shares pro rata upon the exercise of warrants, which were outstanding at closing. The contingent consideration liability was recorded at fair value of $21,516,000 at the time of acquisition and is subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting period. At December 31, 2020, 1,375,000 Contingent Shares are issuable in a business combination that are used in research and development activities (i.e., in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets) be capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets, regardlessconnection with the Acquisition of whether they have an alternative future use.Enochian Biopharma.

 

The Company has revised its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018 to correct the error that occurred during that fiscal year. Management assessed the materialityfair value of the error identified in accordancecontingent consideration liability is estimated using an option-pricing model. The key inputs to the model are all contractual or observable with ASC 250-10-S99-2, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements and concludedexception being volatility, which is computed, based on qualitativethe Company’s underlying stock. The key inputs to valuing the contingent consideration liability on the date of acquisition and quantitative considerations thatas of December 31, 2020, include the effectCompany’s stock price on the valuation date of $2.95; the exercise price of the correctionwarrants of $1.30, the risk-free rate of .12% the expected volatility of the Company’s Common Stock of 100.2%, the digital call rate 52%, and the 1,375,000 of contingent shares remaining at the end of the period. Fair Value measurements are highly sensitive to changes in these inputs and significant changes in these inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value.

Unless otherwise disclosed, the period in whichfair value of the related misstatement originated was not material.Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations and notes payable approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.

Operating Leases— On November 13, 2017, the CompanyEnochian entered into a Lease Agreement for a term of five years and two months from November 1, 2017 (the “Term”) with Plaza Medical Office Building, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Landlord”), as landlord, pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease from the Landlord approximately 2,325 rentable square feet. The base rent increases by 3% each year, and ranges from approximately $8,719 per month for the first year to $10,107 per month for the two months of the sixth year. The Company received $70,800 in tenant improvement allowance in the form of free rent applied over 10 months in equal installments beginning in January of 2018.year

   

On June 19, 2018, the CompanyRegistrant entered into a Lease Agreement for a term of ten years from September 1, 2018 with Century City Medical Plaza Land Co., Inc., pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease approximately 2,453 rentable square feet. On February 20, 2019, the CompanyRegistrant entered into an Addendum to the original Lease Agreement with an effective date of December 1, 2018,2019, where it expanded the lease area to include another 1,101 square feet for a total rentable 3,554 square feet. The base rent increases by 3% each year, and ranges from $17,770 per month for the remainder of the first year to $23,186 per month for the tenth year. The equalized monthly lease payment for the term of the lease is $20,050. The Company received $108,168was entitled to $148,168 in contributions toward tenant improvements.

 

The Company identified and assessed the following significant assumptions in recognizing the right-of-use asset and corresponding liabilities:

 

Expected lease term — The expected lease term includes both contractual lease periods and, when applicable, cancelable option periods when it is reasonably certain that the Company would exercise such options. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms between 3624 months and 8 years.80 months. As of December 31, 2019,2020, the weighted-average remaining term is 6.886.04 years.

 

Incremental borrowing rate — The Company’s lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate. As the Company does not have any external borrowings for comparable terms of its leases, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate based on the U.S. Treasury Yield Curve rate that corresponds to the length of each lease. This rate is an estimate of what the Company would have to pay if borrowing on a collateralized basis over a similar term in an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. As of December 31, 2019,2020, the weighted-average discount rate is 3.99%.

 

Lease and non-lease components — In certain cases the Company is required to pay for certain additional charges for operating costs, including insurance, maintenance, taxes, and other costs incurred, which are billed based on both usage and as a percentage of the Company’s share of total square footage. The Company determined that these costs are non-lease components and they are not included in the calculation of the lease liabilities because they are variable. Payments for these variable, non-lease components are considered variable lease costs and are recognized in the period in which the costs are incurred.

Lease expense charged to general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended amounted to $88,690 and $178,374 December 31, 2020, respectively.

Convertible Notes Payable

On February 6, 2020, the Company issued two Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) to an existing stockholder of the Company each with a face value amount of $600,000, convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes is due and payable on February 6, 2023. Interest on the Convertible Notes commenced accruing on the date of issuance at six percent (6%) per annum, computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months, and is compounded monthly on the final day of each calendar month based upon the Principal and all accrued and unpaid Interest outstanding as of such compound date. The interest is payable in cash on a semi-annual basis.

 

The componentsholder of the Convertible Notes has the right at any time prior to the date that is twelve months from issuance to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid Principal and all unpaid Interest into shares of the Company’s rentCommon Stock. The conversion price is equal to $12.00 per share of Common Stock. The Company evaluated the Convertible Notes in accordance with ASC 470-20 and identified that they each contain an embedded conversion feature that shall not be bifurcated from the host document (i.e., the Convertible Notes) as they are not deemed to be readily convertible into cash. All proceeds received from the issuance have been recognized as a liability on the balance sheet. The Convertible Notes balance as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, was $1,200,000.

Pursuant to ASC 470-20, proceeds received from the issuance are to be recognized at their relative fair value, thus the liability is shown net of the corresponding discount of $493,192, which is the relative fair value of the shares issued for the PIK interest on the closing date using the effective interest method. The discount will be accreted over the life of the Unsecured Note. The Note Payable balance, net of discount at December 31, 2020 is $4,728,744.

On February 11, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Unsecured Note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 that will extend the Maturity Date out to November 30, 2022. All other terms of the Unsecured Note remain the same. The change in Maturity Date requires an additional year of interest at the fixed rate of 6% per annum, which was prepaid by the Company in full on the date of the amendment through the issuance of 74,054 shares of the Company’s Common Stock based on the closing market price on that date for a total value of $298,178.

Our Business

 

We are a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company committed to using our genetically modified cellularcell, gene, and immune-therapyimmune therapy technologies to prevent or potentially cure HIV, andHBV as well as to potentially provide life-long cancer remission of some of the deadliest cancers. We do this by genetically modifying, or re-engineering, different types of human immune cells, depending on the therapeutic area and then injecting or reinfusingreturning the re-engineered cells back into thea patient with HIV or some cancers to provide treatment. In sometreatment or potentially cure.

To date, our operations have been funded by sales of our interventions, immunotherapy is used.securities and the issuance of debt. Sales revenue will not support our current operations, and we expect this to be the case until our therapies or products are approved for marketing in the United States and Europe. Even if we are successful in having our therapies or products approved for sale in the United States and Europe, we cannot guarantee that a market for the product will develop. We may never be profitable. 

 

Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV,(HIV), and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or AIDS(AIDS)

 

HIV attacks the body’s ownhuman immune system, specifically killing off CD4+ cells, or T-cells.T cells, which play a central, controlling role in the immune system. Left untreated, HIV dramatically reduces the number of T-cellsT cells in the body, devastates the immune system, leading to AIDs,AIDS, the, a condition where the bodyimmune system cannot fight off commonlife-threatening infections and disease.cancers.

 

Currently there are over 30 antiretroviral drugs, or ART, approved by the FDAU.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to treat HIV patients but these drugs are expensive, require daily adherence and can have significant side effects over time. In addition, on a global basis, approximately 1 million people, including persons in high-income countries, continue to die from HIV/AIDS due to resistance to ARTdrug-resistant HIV or lack of access. Todayaccess to treatment. To date, there are no treatments whichthat can eliminate the reservoir of immune cells that containare quietly infected with HIV from the body. In other words,Consequently, treatment for HIV is life-long.

 

There have been several efforts to cure HIV by re-engineering a person’s own T-cells so that suchthese cells no longer express C-Ca special protein on these cells (C-C chemokine receptorco-receptor type 5 also known as CCR5,or CCR5) which is an essential co-receptor for HIV uses to enter T-cells.gain entry to them. A naturally occurring mutation that blocks expression of CCR5 on T-cellsT cells occurs in a small percentage~1% of peoplepersons living in or from Northern Europe with no known adverse effects. The “Berlin patient” is an HIV-positive person, and more recently the “London patient” are HIV- positive persons who developed cancer and waswere treated with a bone marrow transplant with cells deriveddonated from a personpersons with athis naturally occurring deletionmutation of CCR5. The Berlin patient seemsand London patients seem to be effectively cured from HIV. Therefore,HIV providing proof-of-concept that HIV can be cured. However, because the transplanted cells come from another person, such transplants carry high risk and can result in death in a significant proportion of patients. Given the success with these two patients, several researchers and companies have attempted to replicate thethis experience of the Berlin patient by genetically modifying the T-cellsT cells of HIV-positive patients to render them unable to be infected by HIV and reinfusingthen returning them with T-cells that do not express CCR5. However,to the patient. Because the transplanted cells are from the same person, the risks to the patient are much lower. The uptake, or engraftment of the modified, reinfusedT cells, however, has not been optimal, leading to a failure to achieve a cure. In addition, the transplant conditioningpre-treatment that has been used is myeloablativebone marrow-destroying chemotherapy, wipingwhich wipes out the patient’s immune system which has inherent risks and can have long term side-effectslong-term side effects including the risk of developing cancer.

21

ENOB-HV-01 is a novel, proprietary approach with the potential to overcome the failures of recent efforts. The intervention: 1) provides gene-modified, reinfusedT cells with a competitive advantage over non-modified cells in the HIV-positive person, with the potential to significantly increase engraftment; and 2) avoids the need for myeloablative chemotherapy that substantially depletes the bone marrow and, in fact, could potentially be given onas an outpatient basis.Resultstreatment. The Company met with the FDA INTERACT team on June 2, 2020. INTERACT is the first available FDA interaction and is a key step in the process towards a potential Investigational New Drug (IND) to study First-in-Human products potentially leading to marketing authorization via Biologics License Application (BLA). The FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) has numerous INTERACT requests and grants meetings that are deemed appropriate for this early FDA engagement. The Enochian management team considered the meeting to be successful with strong alignment between Enochian’s approach to developing ENOB-HV-01 and the comments of the FDA reviewers.

Initial scientific findings from an arraya mouse study on the ENOB-HV-01 approach were presented at the annual conference of the American Society of Cell and Gene Therapy (ASCGT) in May 2020. Additional in vitrostudies and anin vivo mouse model have exceeded expectations. Based on the strength of those data, a request has been madestudies are ongoing and/or planned. Pre-IND submission to the US FDA for an INTERACT meeting to discuss pathways to pre-IND and IND. Additionalin vitro andin vivo studiesis potentially to support a pre-IND and IND submission are in process.

possible by Q4 of 2021.

 

We are also plan to developdeveloping ENOB-HV-11 and ENOB-HV-12 that will utilize a novel cellular- and immunotherapy approach tothat could potentially provide both preventative and therapeutic vaccines for a preventative vaccine and a therapeutic vaccine, respectively.HIV. A non-human primate study is in process beginning with ENOB-12. Vectors and being preparedon schedule. Preliminary results could potentially be available by the end of 2021.

We are in the development phase of additional product candidates related to our HIV pipeline. ENOB-HV-31, which is an in vivo gene therapy, and ENOB-HV-32, which is a peptide drug for packaging and distribution.  

Hepatitis B (HBV)   

Despite the availability of an effective vaccine, hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the world’s most common serious liver infection. It is the leading cause of liver cancer and the animals are being identified.second leading cause of cancer deaths in the world. Two billion people have been infected with HBV, approximately 250 to 290 million have chronic HBV infection, and nearly one million people die every year.

 

Current efforts to develop novel treatment or cure largely focus on approaches to deplete the pool of a certain type of HBV DNA. Enochian has partnered with Seraph Research Institute (SRI) to develop an innovative approach to co-opt HBV polymerase, a key expanding factor which the virus needs to reproduce itself, to induce the death of liver cells infected with the virus.

21

 

The initial in vitro and in vivo work was presented at the biannual HEP DART meeting in December of 2019, where it was selected as one of the best new therapies/novel strategies. Additional data was presented at the annual conference of the ASCGT in May 2020. A proof-of-concept, in vivo cure study is in advanced stages. Pre-IND submission to the US FDA could potentially be made by Q2 of 2021.

On July 27, 2020, Enochian announced the creation of an HBV Scientific Advisory Board comprised of distinguished leaders in HBV disease, treatment and cure.  

 

Cancer

We

Based on learning from peer-reviewed publications of Phase I/IIa trials, we have designed an innovative therapeutic vaccination platform that could potentially be used to induce life-long remissions from some of the deadliest solid tumors. Initial preclinical in vitro studies have been encouraging. We plan to initially target pancreatic cancer, triple negativetriple-negative breast cancer, glioblastoma, and renal cell carcinoma. The platform might also allow for non-specific immune enhancement that could have impact against a broad array of solid tumors. As with HIV, our approach would potentially allow for outpatient therapy without ablating or significantly impairing the patient’s immune system, as many current approaches require.

At the time of the Share Exchange each outstanding share of common stock of Enochian Denmark was exchanged for 1.498842 shares of Common Stock,closing market price on that date for a total value of 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock, resulting in 8,040,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Share Exchange, including the Escrow Shares, which are deemed issued and outstanding for accounting purposes.$298,178.

 

Corporate History

On February 16, 2018, we completed our acquisition of Enochian Biopharma pursuant to an acquisition agreement, dated January 12, 2018, by and among the Registrant, its wholly owned subsidiary DanDrit Acquisition Sub, Inc., Enochian Biopharma and Weird Science entered into the Acquisition Agreement. On February 16, 2018, the Acquisition was completed when the Acquisition Sub merged with and into Enochian Biopharma, with Enochian Biopharma surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the surviving corporation. Registrant. As consideration for the Acquisition,acquisition, the stockholders ofEnochian Biopharma received (i) 50% of the number of18,081,962 shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the effective time of the Acquisition, in the aggregate, after giving effect to the Acquisition, and (ii) the right to receive earn-out shares of Common StockContingent Shares pro rata upon the exercise or conversion of any of the Registrant’s stock options and warrants, which were outstanding at closing.closing (See Note 7.)

 

On March 2, 2018, the Registrant changed its name from DanDrit BioTech USA, Inc. to Enochian BioSciences, Inc.

Emerging Growth Company

 As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, enacted in April 2012. An “emerging growth company” may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

Reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

No non-binding shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;

Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and

Reduced disclosure of financial information in this prospectus, limited to two years of audited financial information and two years of selected financial information.

Each of the foregoing exemptions is currently available to us. We may take advantage of these exemptions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which such fifth anniversary will occur on June 30, 2020. The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies; provided, however, that an emerging growth company may elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have not elected to opt out of the transition period.

Because we have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

COVID-19 Outlook

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The pandemic has significantly affected the economic conditions in the U.S. A number of states, counties and municipalities issued orders requiring persons who were not engaged in essential activities and businesses to remain at home. On March 27, 2020, the US enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Aid (“CARES Act”) to help stimulate an economic recovery and additional legislation related to COVID-19 has been proposed; however, there are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last or how many people are likely to be affected by it. No one knows what over-all effects the COVID-19 pandemic will have on economic conditions during the remainder of 2020.

Our senior management team is monitoring COVID-19’s impact daily and will continue to adjust our operations as necessary. However, the impact of this event on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The decrease is primarily related to the decrease in stock based compensation of $331,000 and legal fees of $256,000, offset by an increase in salaries of $209,000 and insurance premiums of $68,000. The reduction in stock based compensation was due to less stock options granted during the current period when compared to the prior year. The decrease in legal fees is due to the origination of the HBV license and agreements occurring in the prior year when compared to current legal fees. The increase in salaries was due to change in mix of headcount when compared to prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically satisfied our capital and liquidity requirements through funding from shareholders, the issuance of convertible notes and the sale of our Common Stock and warrants.We currently have no sales revenue to support our current operations and we expect this to be the case until our therapies or products are approved for marketing in the United States and Europe. Even if we are successful in having our therapies or products approved for sale in the United States and Europe, we cannot guarantee that a market for the product will develop.We may never be profitable. At this time, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and access to committed funds to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

At this time, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and access to committed funds to fund our operations for the next twelve months. We may however need additional funds for (a) purchase of equipment and, (b) research and development, specifically to open an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) (The first step in the drug review process by the FDA) for ENOB-HV01, to continue our research and development of ENOB-HV11/12, to fund the HBV License Agreement in furtherance of the Treatment for Hepatitis B, and possible future strategic acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies complementary to our business. If additional funds are required, we may raise such funds from time to time through public or private sales of our equity or debt securities. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could materially adversely affect our growth plans and our financial condition and results of operations.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $8,627,677 in cash and working capital of $7,973,210 as compared to $12,282,224 in cash and working capital of $11,384,571 as of June 30, 2019, a decrease of 29.8% and 30.0%, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Emerging Growth Company

As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, the Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result, of this election our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result, of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are not choosing to “opt out” of this provision. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable. As a result of our election, not to “opt out” of Section 107, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our ChiefPrincipal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company.  The Certifying Officers have designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this Report was prepared.

 

The Certifying Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company used the “Internal Control over Financial Reporting Integrated Framework” issued by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) to conduct an extensive review of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of each of the periods covered by this Report (the “Evaluation Date”).  Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2019,2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that the information we were required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The deficiencies are attributed to the fact that the Company does not have adequate resources to address complex accounting issues, as well as an inadequate number of persons to whom it can segregate accounting tasks within the Company so as to ensure the segregation of duties between those persons who approve and issue payment from those persons who are responsible to record and reconcile such transactions within the Company’s accounting system.  These control deficiencies will be monitored and attention will be given to the matter as we continue to accelerate through our current growth stage.

26

 

The Certifying Officers based their conclusion on the fact that the Company has identified material weaknesses in controls over financial reporting, detailed below.  In order to reduce the impact of these weaknesses to an acceptable level, the Company has contracted with consultants with expertise in U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting standards to review and compile all financial information prior to filing that information with the SEC.  However, even with the added expertise of these consultants, we still expect to be deficient in our internal controls over disclosure and procedures until sufficient capital is available to hire the appropriate internal accounting staff and individuals with requisite GAAP and SEC financial reporting knowledge.  There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three and six months ended December 31, 2019,2020 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.
