On June 7, 2017,nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company consummatedused cash in operations of $9,200,830. As of September 30, 2022, the Initial Public OfferingCompany has an accumulated deficit of 10,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit (“Units”$85,666,267 and working capital of $1,789,844. On July 17, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with respectcertain purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceedspre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of $100,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 450,000 units (“Private Units” and, with respect to the2,632,076 shares of the Company’s common stock included in the Private Units offered, the “Private Shares”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, KBL IV Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”(“July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants”), and the underwriters, generatingcommon stock warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,132,076 shares of common stock (the “July 2022 Common Warrants”), at a combined purchase price of $1.06 per share and warrant (the “July 2022 Offering”). Aggregate gross proceeds of $4,500,000, which is described infrom the July 2022 Offering were $6,499,737 (see Note 3.9 – Stockholder’s Equity). The July 2022 Offering closed on July 20, 2022.

 

FollowingOn March 11, 2020, the closingWorld Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The extent of COVID-19’s effect on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the Initial Public Offeringpandemic (including any resurgences), the impact of variants of the virus that causes COVID-19, labor needs at the Company as well as in the supply chain, compliance with government or employer COVID-19 vaccine mandates and the Private Placement,resulting impact on available labor, and the level of social and economic restrictions imposed in the United States and abroad in an amounteffort to curb the spread of $101,000,000 ($10.10 per Unit)the virus, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict.


Management has evaluated, and will continue to evaluate, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position or results of its operations, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “condensed consolidated financial statements”). The follow-up time for patient data and the statistical analysis for the Phase 2b Dupuytren’s Contracture clinical trial was delayed as a result of COVID-19, but such follow-up and statistical analyses are now complete. The Company announced the top-line data results from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public OfferingPhase 2b trial on December 1, 2021 and the Private Unitsdata was placedpublished on April 29, 2022 in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and investedpeer-reviewed journal. The Company may experience similar delays in U.S. government securities, withinother clinical trials due to the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16)continued future impact of COVID-19. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Investment Company Actoutcome of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected bythis uncertainty.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completionassumption of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

On June 23, 2017, in connection with the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,500,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit and the sale of an additional 52,500 Private Units at $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $15,525,000. Following the closing, an additional $15,150,000 of net proceeds ($10.10 per Unit) was placed in the Trust Account, resulting in $116,150,000 ($10.10 per Unit) held in the Trust Account.

Transaction costs amounted to $7,345,436, consisting of $2,875,000 of underwriting fees, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting fees (see Note 6) and $445,436 of Initial Public Offering costs.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurancegoing concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of therealize its assets heldand discharge its liabilities in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the timenormal course of the agreementbusiness. The Company’s ability to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficientcontinue its operations is dependent upon obtaining new financing for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide holders of the outstanding Public Shares (“public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously releasedongoing operations. Future financing options available to the Company for tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combinationinclude equity financings and loans and if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, a stockholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholder (as defined below), officers and directors have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), Private Shares, and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial stockholder, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares.

The Company’s Sponsor (the “initial stockholder”), officers and directors have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated article of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of the Company’s common stock in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 18 months (or 21 months, as applicable) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”),obtain such additional financing timely, or on favorable terms, the Company will (i) cease allmay have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations, except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equaland it could ultimately be forced to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payablediscontinue its operations and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders andliquidate. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s Boardability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject intime, which is defined as within one year after the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) todate that the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s Rights, Warrants, Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and the rights underlying the Private Units, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination within the Combination Period.

In connection with the redemption of 100%condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Realization of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares for a portion ofassets may be substantially different from the funds heldcarrying amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements and the Trust Account, each holder will receive a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, plusaccompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released toadjustments that may become necessary, should the Company for taxes payable and upbe unable to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses.

The initial stockholder, officers, directors and underwriters have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Shares if the Company fails to completecontinue as a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if they should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.10 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.going concern.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as set forth in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 under Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, except as disclosed in this note.

Basis of presentationPresentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)(GAAP) for interim financial informationreporting and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 ofas required by Regulation S-X, of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting.Rule 10-01. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessaryrequired by GAAP for a comprehensive presentation ofcomplete financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments consisting of a(including those which are normal recurring nature, which areand recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's final prospectus as filed with the SEC on June 2, 2017, as well as the Company’s Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on June 26, 2017. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2017 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those thatinformation have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can 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. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Income taxes

The Company complies withcarrying value exceeded the accountingfair market value by $18,872,850 and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’sas such, management determined that Delawarethe goodwill of the reporting unit was impaired by this amount. To recognize the impairment of goodwill, the Company recorded a loss (which appears as an expense on the income statement) for $18,872,850, which reduced the goodwill of its CannBioRex Pharmaceuticals Corp. (“CBR”) and 180 Therapeutics LP (“180T”) subsidiaries by $11,264,612 and $7,608,238, respectively.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” option grants. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry.

SPAC Warrants

Public SPAC Warrants

Participants in KBL’s initial public offering received an aggregate of 11,500,000 warrants (“Right”Public SPAC Warrants”), and one redeemable warrant. Each Public SPAC Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half of one share of the Company’s common stock (“Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common stock at an exercise price of $5.75 per half share ($11.50 per whole share), until November 6, 2025, subject to adjustment. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants.Public SPAC Warrants. Management has determined that the Public SPAC Warrants contain a tender offer provision which could result in the Public SPAC Warrants settling for the tender offer consideration (including potentially cash) in a transaction that didn’t result in a change-in-control. This feature results in the Public SPAC Warrants being precluded from equity classification. Accordingly, the Public SPAC Warrants are classified as liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. The Public SPAC Warrants will become exercisablewere revalued on September 30, 2022 at $592,250, which resulted in decreases of $1,246,600 and $7,456,600 in the later of (i) 30 days after the completionfair value of the initial Business Combination and (ii) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may redeem the Warrants, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice (“30-day redemption period”), only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given, provided there is an effective registration statement with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such Warrants and a current prospectus relating to those shares of common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If the Company calls the Warrants for redemption as described above, the Company’s management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” the management will consider, among other factors, the Company’s cash position, the number of Warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the Company’s stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

Each holder of a Right will receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon exchange of the Rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of Rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by investors in the Initial Public Offering. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive the 1/10 share of common stock underlying each right (without paying any additional consideration).

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Warrants and Rights, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination within the Combination Period.

Private Placement

Concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and the underwriters purchased an aggregate of 450,000 Private Units at $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,500,000 in a Private Placement. In addition, on June 23, 2017, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 52,500 Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which were purchased by the Sponsor and underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $525,000. Of these, 377,500 Private Units were purchased by the Sponsor and 125,000 Private Units were purchased by the underwriters. The proceeds from the Private Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. The Private Units (including their component securities) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and the warrants included in the Private Units (the “Private Placement Warrants”) will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering. In addition, for as long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by the underwriters or its designees or affiliates, they may not be exercised after five years from the effective date of the registration statement related to the Initial Public Offering. Otherwise, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and have no net cash settlement provisions.

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds of the Private Placement will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the Private Units and their component securities issued to the Sponsor will expire worthless.

Founder Shares

In September 2016, the Company issued 2,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Sponsor (the “Founder Shares”) in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000. The 2,875,000 Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part. As a result of the underwriters’ election to exercise their over-allotment option in full on June 23, 2017, 375,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

In conjunction with their investment in the Private Units, the underwriters or their designees also purchased membership interests in the Sponsor, through which the underwriters or their designees collectively have a pecuniary interest in 230,000 Founder Shares, pursuant to a separate private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement. The Sponsor beneficially owns the Founder Shares allocated to the underwriters or their designees and retains sole voting and dispositive power over such securities until the closing of a Business Combination, at which time the Sponsor will distribute the Founder Shares to the underwriters or their designees for no additional consideration. Upon receipt of the Founder Shares, the underwriters or their designees will no longer retain their ownership interests in the Sponsor.

The initial stockholder has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of a Business Combination, and (ii) the date following the completion of a Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of the Company’s common stock for cash, securities or other property the (“Lock-Up Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after its initial Business Combination, then the lock-up will terminate.

Related Party Advances

As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s Sponsor advanced an aggregate of $82,599 to be used for working capital purposes. The advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has repaid $61,558 of such advances. Advances amounting to $21,041 were outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and included in due to related party in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.

Note Payable – Related Party

The Sponsor loaned the Company $192,000 in the form of a promissory note to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering. The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on the earlier of June 30, 2017 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Company repaid this loan from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering not placed in the Trust Account on June 8, 2017.

Administrative Service Fee

The Company has agreed, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Forderivative liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred $30,000 and $40,000, respectively, of administrative service fees, of which $28,000 is payable and included in due to related party in the accompanying condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2017.2022, respectively.

Related Party LoansParticipants in KBL’s initial private placement in connection with its initial public offering received an aggregate of 502,500 warrants (“Private SPAC Warrants”). Each Private SPAC Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half of one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.75 per half share ($11.50 per whole share) until November 6, 2025, subject to adjustment.

The PIPE Warrants were revalued on September 30, 2022 at $433,600, which resulted in decreases of $188,000 and $6,082,700 in the fair value of the derivative liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Other Loss Contingencies

The Company records liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company has no liabilities recorded for loss contingencies as of December 31, 2021. See Legal Matters – Action Against Former Executive of KBL below for information related to a September 30, 2022 accrual.

Legal Matters

Action Against Former Executive of KBL

On September 1, 2021, the Company initiated legal action in the Chancery Court of Delaware against Dr. Marlene Krauss, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and director (“Dr. Krauss”) and two of her affiliated companies, KBL IV Sponsor, LLC and KBL Healthcare Management, Inc. (collectively, the “KBL Affiliates”) for, among other things, engaging in unauthorized monetary transfers of the Company’s assets, non-disclosure of financial liabilities within the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, issuing shares of stock without proper authorization; and improperly allowing stockholder redemptions to take place. The Company’s complaint alleges causes of action against Dr. Krauss and/or the KBL Affiliates for breach of fiduciary duties, ultra vires acts, unjust enrichment, negligence and declaratory relief, and seeks compensatory damages in excess of $11,286,570, together with interest, attorneys’ fees and costs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its legal actions. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has a legal accrual of $218,217 recorded to cover the legal expenses of the former executives of KBL.

On October 5, 2021, Dr. Krauss and the KBL Affiliates filed an Answer, Counterclaims and Third-Party Complaint (the “Krauss Counterclaims”) against the Company and twelve individuals who are, or were, directors and/or officers of the Company, i.e., Marc Feldmann, Lawrence Steinman, James N. Woody, Teresa DeLuca, Frank Knuettel II, Pamela Marrone, Lawrence Gold, Donald A. McGovern, Jr., Russell T. Ray, Richard W. Barker, Shoshana Shendelman and Ozan Pamir (collectively, the “Third-Party Defendants”).  On October 27, 2021, the Company and Ozan Pamir filed an Answer to the Krauss Counterclaims, and all of the other Third-Party Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss as to the Third-Party Complaint.

On January 28, 2022, in lieu of filing an opposition to the Motion to Dismiss, Dr. Krauss and the KBL Affiliates filed a Motion for leave to file amended counterclaims and third-party complaint, and to dismiss six of the current and former directors previously named, i.e., to dismiss Teresa DeLuca, Frank Knuettel II, Pamela Marrone, Russell T. Ray, Richard W. Barker and Shoshana Shendelman.  The Motion was granted by stipulation and, on February 24, 2022, Dr. Krauss filed an amended Answer, Counterclaims and Third-Party Complaint (the “Amended Counterclaims”).  In essence, the Amended Counterclaims allege (a) that the Company and the remaining Third-Party Defendants breached fiduciary duties to Dr. Krauss by making alleged misstatements against Dr. Krauss in SEC filings and failing to register her shares in the Company so that they could be traded, and (b) the Company breached contracts between the Company and Dr. Krauss for registration of such shares, and also failed to pay to Dr. Krauss the amounts alleged to be owing under a promissory note in the principal amount of $371,178, plus an additional $300,000 under Dr. Krauss’s resignation agreement.  The Amended Counterclaims seek unspecified amounts of monetary damages, declaratory relief, equitable and injunctive relief, and attorney’s fees and costs.

On March 16, 2022, Donald A. McGovern, Jr. and Lawrence Gold filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Counterclaims against them, and the Company and the remaining Third-Party Defendants filed an Answer to the Amended Counterclaims denying the same.  On April 19, 2022, Dr. Krauss stipulated to dismiss all of her counterclaims and allegations against both Donald A. McGovern, Jr. and Lawrence Gold, thereby mooting their Motion to Dismiss the Amended Counterclaims against them. The Company and the Third-Party Defendants intend to continue to vigorously defend against all of the Amended Counterclaims, however, there can be no assurance that they will be successful in the legal defense of such Amended Counterclaims. In April 2022, Donald A. McGovern, Jr. and Lawrence Gold were dismissed from the lawsuit as parties. Discovery has not yet commenced in the case.


Action Against the Company by Dr. Krauss

On August 19, 2021, Dr. Krauss initiated legal action in the Chancery Court of Delaware against the Company.  The original Complaint sought expedited relief and made the following two claims: (1) it alleged that the Company is obligated to advance expenses including, attorney’s fees, to Dr. Krauss for the costs of defending against the SEC and certain Subpoenas served by the SEC on Dr. Krauss; and (2) it alleged that the Company is also required to reimburse Dr. Krauss for the costs of bringing this lawsuit against the Company.  On or about September 3, 2021, Dr. Krauss filed an Amended and Supplemental Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) in this action, which added the further claims that Dr. Krauss is also allegedly entitled to one voteadvancement by the Company of her expenses, including attorney’s fees, for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Complaint in the Tyche Capital LLC action referenced below, and the costs of defending against the Company’s own Complaint against Dr. Krauss as described above.  On or about September 23, 2021, the Company filed its Answer to the Amended Complaint in which the Company denied each share. Atof Dr. Krauss’ claims and further raised numerous affirmative defenses with respect thereto.

On November 15, 2021, Dr. Krauss filed a Motion for Summary Adjudication as to certain of the issues in the case, which was opposed by the Company.  A hearing on such Motion was held on December 7, 2021, and, on March 7, 2022, the Court issued a decision in the matter denying the Motion for Summary Adjudication in part and granting it in part.  The Court then issued an Order implementing such a decision on March 29, 2022. The parties are now engaging in proceedings set forth in that implementing Order. The Court granted Dr. Krauss’s request for advancement of some of the legal fees which Dr. Krauss requested in her Motion, and the Company was required to pay a portion of those fees while it objects to the remaining portion of disputed fees. These legal fees have been accrued on the Company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 20172022. On October 10, 2022, Dr. Krauss filed an Application to compel the Company to pay the full amount of fees requested by Dr. Krauss for May-July 2022, and December 31, 2016,to modify the Court’s Order. The Company has filed its Opposition thereto, but no hearing has yet been scheduled by the Court for the Application. Notwithstanding any requirement by the Court for the Company to advance attorneys’ fees to Dr. Krauss, no adjudication has yet been made as to whether Dr. Krauss will ultimately be entitled to permanently retain such advancements. The Company is seeking payment for a substantial portion of such amounts from its director and officers’ insurance policy, of which no assurance can be provided that the directors and officers insurance policy will cover such amounts. See “Declaratory Relief Action Against the Company by AmTrust International” below.

Action Against Tyche Capital LLC

The Company commenced and filed an action against defendant Tyche Capital LLC (“Tyche”) in the Supreme Court of New York, in the County of New York, on April 15, 2021.  In its Complaint, the Company alleged claims against Tyche arising out of Tyche’s breach of its written contractual obligations to the Company as set forth in a “Guarantee And Commitment Agreement” dated July 25, 2019, and a “Term Sheet For KBL Business Combination With CannBioRex” dated April 10, 2019 (collectively, the “Subject Guarantee”).  The Company alleges in its Complaint that, notwithstanding demand having been made on Tyche to perform its obligations under the Subject Guarantee, Tyche has failed and refused to do so, and is currently in debt to the Company for such failure in the amount of $6,776,686, together with interest accruing thereon at the rate set forth in the Subject Guarantee.

On or about May 17, 2021, Tyche responded to the Company’s Complaint by filing an Answer and Counterclaims against the Company alleging that it was the Company, rather than Tyche, that had breached the Subject Guarantee.  Tyche also filed a Third-Party Complaint against six third-party defendants, including three members of the Company’s management, Sir Marc Feldmann, Dr. James Woody, and Ozan Pamir (collectively, the “Individual Company Defendants”), claiming that they allegedly breached fiduciary duties to Tyche with regards to the Subject Guarantee.  In that regard, on June 25, 2021, each of the Individual Company Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss Tyche’s Third-Party Complaint against them.

On November 23, 2021, the Court granted the Company’s request to issue an Order of attachment against all of Tyche’s shares of the Company’s stock that had been held in escrow.  In so doing, the Court found that the Company had demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of the case based on the facts alleged in the Company’s Complaint.

On February 18, 2022, Tyche filed an Amended Answer, Counterclaims and Third-Party Complaint.  On March 22, 2022, the Company and each of the Individual Company Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss all of Tyche’s claims.  A hearing on such Motion to Dismiss was held on August 25, 2022, and the Court granted the Motion to Dismiss entirely as to each of the Individual Company Defendants, and also as to three of the four Counterclaims brought against the Company, only leaving Tyche’s declaratory relief claim. On September 9, 2022, Tyche filed a Notice of Appeal as to the Court’s decision, which has not yet been briefed or adjudicated. On August 26, 2022, Tyche filed a Motion to vacate or modify the Company’s existing attachment Order against Tyche’s shares of the Company’s stock held in escrow. The Company has filed its Opposition thereto, and a hearing on such Motion has been set for January 5, 2023. The Company and the Individual Company Defendants intend to continue to vigorously defend against all of Tyche’s claims, however, there can be no assurance that they will be successful in the legal defense of such claims. Written discovery proceedings have commenced among the parties.


Action Against Ronald Bauer & Samantha Bauer

The Company and two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Katexco Pharmaceuticals Corp. and CannBioRex Pharmaceuticals Corp. (collectively, the “Company Plaintiffs”), initiated legal action against Ronald Bauer and Samantha Bauer, as well as two of their companies, Theseus Capital Ltd. and Astatine Capital Ltd. (collectively, the “Bauer Defendants”), in the Supreme Court of British Columbia on February 25, 2022. The Company Plaintiffs are seeking damages against the Bauer Defendants for misappropriated funds and stock shares, unauthorized stock sales, and improper travel expenses, in the combined sum of at least $4,395,000 CAD [$3,178,025 USD] plus the additional sum of $2,721,036 USD. The Bauer Defendants filed an answer to the Company Plaintiffs’ claims on May 6, 2022. There can be no assurance that the Company Plaintiffs will be successful in this legal action.

Declaratory Relief Action Against the Company by AmTrust International

On June 29, 2022, AmTrust International Underwriters DAC (“AmTrust”), which was the premerger directors and officers insurance policy underwriter for KBL, filed a declaratory relief action against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Declaratory Relief Action”) seeking declaration of AmTrust’s obligations under the directors and officers insurance policy.  In the Declaratory Relief Action, AmTrust is claiming that as a result of the merger the Company is no longer the insured under the subject insurance policy, notwithstanding the fact that the fees which the Company seeks to recover from AmTrust relate to matters occurring prior to the merger. 

On September 20, 2022, the Company filed its Answer and Counterclaims against AmTrust for bad faith breach of AmTrust’s insurance coverage obligations to the Company under the subject directors and officers insurance policy, and seeking damages of at least $2 million in compensatory damages, together with applicable punitive damages. In addition, the Company brought a Third-Party Complaint against its excess insurance carrier, Freedom Specialty Insurance Company (“Freedom”) seeking declaratory relief that Freedom will also be required to honor its policy coverage as soon as the amount of AmTrust’s insurance coverage obligations to the Company have been exhausted. On October 25, 2022, AmTrust filed its Answer to the Company’s Counterclaims, however, Freedom’s response to the Third-Party Complaint is not yet due. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has recorded an insurance claims receivable of $1,836,940, which it believes is the net recoverable amount advanced to former directors and officers of the Company as of September 30, 2022.  While the Company believes it has a strong case against AmTrust, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this action.

Going Concern and Management Liquidity Plans

As of September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $85,666,267 and working capital of $1,789,844. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, $9,200,830 of cash was used in operations and total cash decreased by $4,635,869. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a resultgoing concern. As we are not generating revenues, we need to raise a significant amount of new information,capital in order to pay our debts and cover our operating costs. While the Company raised money in August 2021 and July 2022 (see Note 2 – Going Concern and Management’s Plans), we expect to require additional funding in the future eventsand there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional needed capital or otherwise.that such capital will be available under favorable terms.

 

Overview

We are subject to all the substantial risks inherent in the development of a blank check company incorporatednew business enterprise within an extremely competitive industry. Due to the absence of a long-standing operating history and the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we anticipate operating losses until we can successfully implement our business strategy, which includes all associated revenue streams. We may never achieve profitable operations or generate significant revenues.

We currently have a minimum monthly cash requirement spend of approximately $900,000. We believe that in the aggregate, we will require significant additional capital funding to support and expand the research and development and marketing of our products, fund future clinical trials, repay debt obligations, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment and development costs, payment obligations, office space and systems for managing the business, and cover other operating costs until our planned revenue streams from products are fully-implemented and begin to offset our operating costs, if ever.

Since our inception, we have funded our operations with the proceeds from equity and debt financings. We have experienced liquidity issues due to, among other reasons, our limited ability to raise adequate capital on September 7, 2016 in Delawareacceptable terms. We have historically relied upon the issuance of equity and formedpromissory notes that are convertible into shares of our common stock to fund our operations and have devoted significant efforts to reduce that exposure. We anticipate that we will need to issue equity to fund our operations and repay our outstanding debt for the purposeforeseeable future. If we are unable to achieve operational profitability or we are not successful in securing other forms of effectingfinancing, we will have to evaluate alternative actions to reduce our operating expenses and conserve cash.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intendgoing concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to effectuatethe recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements included in this report also include a going concern footnote.


Additionally, wherever possible, our Business Combination using cash fromBoard of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the proceedsnon-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our Initial Public Offeringcommon stock, preferred stock or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, but subject to NASDAQ rules and regulations (which generally require shareholder approval for any transactions which would result in the Private Placement, our securities, debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt.

The issuance of additionalmore than 20% of our then outstanding shares of common stock or voting rights representing over 20% of our then outstanding shares of stock), to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock, preferred stock:stock or warrants to purchase such shares of common stock. In addition, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market in the future. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of us, because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.

On November 6, 2020 (“Closing Date”), the Business Combination was consummated following a special meeting of stockholders, where the stockholders of KBL considered and approved, among other matters, a proposal to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to completeadopt a Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, KBL Merger Sub, Inc. merged with 180, with 180 continuing as the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of KBL. As part of the Business Combination, KBL issued 17,500,000 shares of common stock and equivalents to the stockholders of 180, in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of 180. The Business Combination became effective November 6, 2020 and in connection therewith, 180 filed a Certificate of Amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation in Delaware to change its name to 180 Life Corp., and KBL changed its name to 180 Life Sciences Corp.

Following the closing of the Business Combination, we transitioned our operations to those of 180, which is a clinical stage biotechnology company headquartered in Palo Alto, California, focused on the development of therapeutics for unmet medical needs in chronic pain, inflammation, fibrosis and other inflammatory diseases, where anti-TNF therapy will be successful.provide a clear benefit to patients, by employing innovative research, and, where appropriate, combination therapy. We have three product development platforms:

fibrosis and anti-tumor necrosis factor (“TNF”);

drugs which are derivatives of cannabidiol (“CBD”); and

alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (“α7nAChR”).


Results of Operations

 

We have neither engagedseveral future product candidates in anydevelopment, including one product candidate which has recently completed a successful Phase 2b clinical trial in the United Kingdom for Dupuytren’s Contracture, a condition that affects the development of fibrous connective tissue in the palm of the hand. 180 was founded by several world-leading scientists in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors.

We intend to invest resources to successfully complete the clinical programs that are underway, discover new drug candidates, and develop new molecules to build on our existing pipeline to address unmet clinical needs. The product candidates are designed via a platform comprised of defined unit operations nor generated any revenuesand technologies. This work is performed in a research and development environment that evaluates and assesses variability in each step of the process in order to date. Our only activities from September 7, 2016 (datedefine the most reliable production conditions.

We may rely on third-party contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) and other third parties for the manufacturing and processing of inception) through September 30, 2017 were organizational activities, those necessarythe product candidates in the future. We believe the use of contract manufacturing and testing for the first clinical product candidates is cost-effective and has allowed us to rapidly prepare for the Initial Public Offering, which was consummated on June 7, 2017, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion ofclinical trials in accordance with our Business Combination.development plans. We expect that third-party manufacturers will be capable of providing and processing sufficient quantities of these product candidates to generate non-operating income inmeet anticipated clinical trial demands.

July 2022 Offering

On July 17, 2022, the formCompany entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of interest income3,500,000 shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,632,076 shares of common stock (“July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants”), and common stock warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,132,076 shares of common stock (the “July 2022 Common Warrants”), at a combined purchase price of $1.06 per share and warrant (the “July 2022 Offering”). Aggregate gross proceeds from the July 2022 Offering were $6,499,737. The July 2022 Offering closed on cashJuly 20, 2022.

We expectJuly 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants will not be subject to incur increased expensesadjustment as a result of subsequent equity issuances at effective prices lower than the then-current exercise price. The July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable until they are exercised in full. The July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to a provision prohibiting the exercise of such July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the holder of such July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants (together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (which may be increased or decreased, with 61 days prior written notice by the holder). Although the July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants have a tender offer provision, the July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants were determined to be equity-classified because they met the limited exception in the case of a change-in-control. Because the July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants are equity-classified, the placement agent fees and offering expenses will be accounted for as a reduction of additional paid in capital.


The July 2022 Common Warrants have an exercise price equal to $1.06 per share, are exercisable 6 months following the closing of the July 2022 Offering (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits or dividends or other similar transactions. The exercise price of the July 2022 Common Warrants will not be subject to adjustment as a result of subsequent equity issuances at effective prices lower than the then-current exercise price. The July 2022 Common Warrants are exercisable for 5 years following the Initial Exercise Date. The July 2022 Common Warrants are subject to a provision prohibiting the exercise of such July 2022 Common Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the holder of such July 2022 Common Warrants (together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (which may be increased or decreased, with 61 days prior written notice by the holder). Although the July 2022 Common Warrants have a tender offer provision, the July 2022 Common Warrants were determined to be equity-classified because they met the limited exception in the case of a change-in-control. Because the July 2022 Common Warrants are equity-classified, the placement agent fees and offering expenses will be accounted for as a reduction of additional paid in capital.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The global spread and impact of COVID-19 has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. The extent of COVID-19’s effect on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the pandemic (including any resurgences), the impact of variants of the virus that causes COVID-19, the wide distribution and public acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines, labor needs at the Company as well as in the supply chain, compliance with government or employer COVID-19 vaccine mandates and the resulting impact on available labor, and the level of social and economic restrictions imposed in the United States and abroad in an effort to curb the spread of the virus, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result, it is not currently possible to ascertain the overall impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. While the ultimate health and economic impact of COVID-19 continues to be highly uncertain, the Company does not currently expect an adverse impact on its business related to of COVID-19. Future events and effects related to the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be determined with precision and actual results could significantly differ from estimates or forecasts.

The follow up time for patient data and the statistical analysis for the Phase 2b Dupuytren’s Contracture clinical trial was delayed as a result of COVID-19, but such follow-up and statistical analysis are now completed and the Company announced the top-line data results from the Phase 2b trial on December 1, 2021 and the data was published on April 29, 2022 in a peer-reviewed journal. Additionally, COVID-19 has delayed the initiation of certain clinical trials and may delay the initiation of other clinical trials in the future or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our future operations.


Significant Financial Statement Components

Research and Development

To date, 180’s research and development expenses have related primarily to discovery efforts and preclinical and clinical development of its three product platforms: fibrosis and anti-TNF; drugs which are derivatives of CBD, and α7nAChR. Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with those three product platforms, which include:

expenses incurred under agreements with 180’s collaboration partners and third-party contract organizations, investigative clinical trial sites that conduct research and development activities on its behalf, and consultants;

costs related to production of clinical materials, including fees paid to contract manufacturers;

laboratory and vendor expenses related to the execution of preclinical and clinical trials;

employee-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation; and

facilities and other expenses, which include expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, depreciation and amortization expense and other supplies.

We expense all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. We accrue for costs incurred as services are provided by monitoring the status of each project and the invoices received from our external service providers. We adjust our accrual as actual costs become known. When contingent milestone payments are owed to third parties under research and development arrangements or license agreements, the milestone payment obligations are expensed when the milestone results are achieved.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect that research and development expenses will increase over the next several years as clinical programs progress and as we seek to initiate clinical trials of additional product candidates. It is also expected that increased research and development expenses will be incurred as additional product candidates are selectively identified and developed. However, it is difficult to determine with certainty the duration and completion costs of current or future preclinical programs and clinical trials of product candidates.

The duration, costs and timing of clinical trials and development of product candidates will depend on a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, the following:

per patient trial costs;

the number of patients that participate in the trials;

the number of sites included in the trials;

the countries in which the trials are conducted;

the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;

the number of doses that patients receive;

the drop-out or discontinuation rates of patients;

potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;

the impact of COVID-19 on the length of our trials;

the duration of patient follow-up; and

the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidates.


In addition, the probability of success for each product candidate will depend on numerous factors, including competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. We will determine which programs to pursue and fund in response to the scientific and clinical success of each product candidate, as well as an assessment of each product candidate’s commercial potential.

Because the product candidates are still in clinical and preclinical development and the outcome of these efforts is uncertain, we cannot estimate the actual amounts necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization of product candidates or whether, or when, we may achieve profitability. Due to the early-stage nature of these programs, we do not track costs on a project-by-project basis. As these programs become more advanced, we intend to track the external and internal cost of each program.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other staff-related costs, including stock-based compensation for shares of common stock issued and options granted to founders, directors and personnel in executive, commercial, finance, accounting, legal, investor relations, facilities, business development and human resources functions and include vesting conditions.

Other significant general and administrative costs include costs relating to facilities and overhead costs, legal fees relating to corporate and patent matters, litigation, SEC filings, insurance, investor relations costs, fees for accounting and consulting services, and other general and administrative costs. General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred, and we accrue amounts for services provided by third parties related to the above expenses by monitoring the status of services provided and receiving estimates from our service providers and adjusting our accruals as actual costs become known.

It is expected that the general and administrative expenses will increase over the next several years to support our continued research and development activities, manufacturing activities, potential commercialization of our product candidates and the increased costs of operating as a public company. These increases are anticipated to include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel, developing commercial infrastructure, fees to outside consultants, lawyers and accountants, and increased costs associated with being a public company, (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.expenses related to services associated with maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing rules and SEC requirements, insurance and investor relations costs.

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to debt instruments.

Gain (Loss) on Extinguishment of Convertible Notes

Gain (loss) on extinguishment of convertible notes represents the shortfall (excess) of the reacquisition cost of convertible notes as compared to their carrying value.


Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities represents the non-cash change in fair value of derivative liabilities during the reporting period. Gains resulting from change in fair value of derivative liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, were driven by decreases in stock price during the periods, resulting in a lower fair value of the underlying liability.

Offering Costs Allocated to Warrant Liabilities

Change in offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities represents placement agent fees and offering expenses which were allocated to the February 2021 PIPE Warrants and expensed immediately as they are liability classified.

Change in Fair Value of Accrued Issuable Equity

Change in fair value of accrued issuable equity represents the non-cash change in fair value of accrued equity prior to its formal issuance.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required forFurther, our operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligenceplans may change, and negotiating an initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need additional funds to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combinationmeet operational needs and capital requirements for clinical trials and other research and development activities. We currently have no credit facility or because we become obligated to redeem a significant numbercommitted sources of capital. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our public shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. In the current economic environment, it has become especially difficult to obtain acquisition financing. Ifproduct candidates, we are unable to completeestimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our initial Business Combination because wecurrent and anticipated product development programs.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


Recent Financing and Settlement Transactions

July 2022 Offering

On July 17, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,632,076 shares of common stock (“July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants”), and common stock warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,132,076 shares of common stock (the “July 2022 Common Warrants”), at a combined purchase price of $1.06 per share and warrant (the “July 2022 Offering”). Aggregate gross proceeds from the July 2022 Offering were $6,499,737. The July 2022 Offering closed on July 20, 2022.  

The July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants have sufficient funds availablean exercise price equal to us, we$0.0001, are immediately exercisable and are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits or dividends or other similar transactions. The exercise price of the July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants will not be subject to adjustment as a result of subsequent equity issuances at effective prices lower than the then-current exercise price. The July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable until they are exercised in full. The July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to a provision prohibiting the exercise of such July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the holder of such July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants (together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (which may be increased or decreased, with 61 days prior written notice by the holder). Although the July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants have a tender offer provision, the July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants were determined to be equity-classified because they met the limited exception in the case of a change-in-control. Because the July 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants are equity-classified, the placement agent fees and offering expenses will be forcedaccounted for as a reduction of additional paid in capital.

The July 2022 Common Warrants have an exercise price equal to cease$1.06 per share, are exercisable 6 months following the closing of the July 2022 Offering (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits or dividends or other similar transactions. The exercise price of the July 2022 Common Warrants will not be subject to adjustment as a result of subsequent equity issuances at effective prices lower than the then-current exercise price. The July 2022 Common Warrants are exercisable for 5 years following the Initial Exercise Date. The July 2022 Common Warrants are subject to a provision prohibiting the exercise of such July 2022 Common Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the holder of such July 2022 Common Warrants (together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (which may be increased or decreased, with 61 days prior written notice by the holder). Although the July 2022 Common Warrants have a tender offer provision, the July 2022 Common Warrants were determined to be equity-classified because they met the limited exception in the case of a change-in-control. Because the July 2022 Common Warrants are equity-classified, the placement agent fees and offering expenses will be accounted for as a reduction of additional paid in capital. 


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of its assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. The Company has identified certain policies and estimates as critical to its business operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cashunderstanding of its past or present results of operations related to (i) goodwill and (ii) intangible assets and in-process research and development. These policies and estimates are considered critical because they had a material impact, or they have the potential to have a material impact, on hand is insufficient, we may needthe Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and because they require management to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

We have no obligations, assetsmake significant judgments, assumptions or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactionsestimates. The Company believes that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been establishedthe estimates, judgments and assumptions made when accounting for the purposeitems described below were reasonable, based on information available at the time they were made. However, actual results may differ from those estimates, and these differences may be material.

Goodwill/Intangible Assets and In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”)

The Company has a significant amount of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debtgoodwill, intangible assets and IPR&D assets that are assessed at least annually for impairment. Prior to the interim testing of goodwill for impairment, goodwill, intangible assets and IPR&D assets totaled $46.7 million or commitments88% of other entities,the Company’s total assets as of September 30, 2022, and totaled $51.5 million, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay82% of the sponsor a monthly feeCompany’s total assets as of $10,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support providedDecember 31, 2021. The impairment analyses of these assets are considered critical because of their significance to the Company. We began incurring these feesIntangible assets arising from business combinations or acquisitions, such as goodwill, patents and IPR&D assets are initially recorded at estimated fair value. Licensed patents are amortized over the remaining life of the patent. IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. Our goodwill was derived from acquisitions where the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. The Company is required to reassign goodwill to reporting units whenever reorganizations of the internal reporting structure change the composition of its reporting units. The Company identified one reporting unit which represents its sole operating segment.

The Company is required to assess goodwill/intangible assets and IPR&D assets at least annually, or more frequently, if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates it is more likely than not the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit was less than its carrying value. In assessing goodwill/intangible assets and IPR&D assets for impairment, the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying value. For December 31, 2021, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative analysis and proceeded directly to the two- step test.

The first step of the goodwill/intangible assets and IPR&D assets impairment test used to identify potential impairment compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill/intangible assets and IPR&D assets. The Company determined the fair market value of its single reporting unit as of December 31, 2021 to be its market capitalization of $132,760,680, which represents $3.90 per share (the market close price on June 7, 2017December 31, 2021) multiplied by 34,021,200 shares (consisting of 34,035,925 shares of common stock plus 5,275 special voting shares which are exchangeable into common stock for no additional consideration) on December 31, 2021. The carrying amount of the reporting unit as of December 31, 2021 was $39,322,695 (total assets of $62.7 million less total liabilities of $23.4 million).

Since the fair value of the Company ($132,760,680) exceeded the carrying value of the Company ($39,322,695) as of December 31, 2021, and the carrying value of the Company is greater than zero, management concluded the goodwill/intangible assets and IPR&D assets of the reporting unit were not impaired.

During the quarter, the market value of the Company’s single reporting unit had significantly declined (see Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). As of September 30, 2022, the market value of the Company’s publicly traded stock was $0.67 per share; the Company determined the fair market value of its single reporting unit as of that date to be $26,102,105, which represents the value per share multiplied by 39,251,286 shares (consisting of 39,246,011 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2022 plus 5,275 special voting shares which are exchangeable into common stock for no additional consideration). The carrying amount of the reporting unit as of September 30, 2022 was $44,974,955 (total assets of $53.2 million less total liabilities of $8.2 million). As of this measurement date, the carrying value exceeded the fair market value by $18,872,850, and management believed that the goodwill of the reporting unit was impaired by this amount. To recognize the impairment of goodwill, the Company recorded a loss (which appears as an expense on the income statement) for $18,872,850, which reduced the goodwill of its CBR and 180T subsidiaries by $11,264,612 and $7,608,238, respectively.

The Company will continue to incur these fees monthly untilperform goodwill/intangible assets and IPR&D assets impairment testing on an annual basis, or as needed if there are changes to the earliercomposition of its reporting unit. As of September 30, 2022, there have been no changes to the composition of the completionreporting unit.


Derivative Liabilities

The Company evaluates its debt and equity issuances to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives requiring separate recognition in the Company’s financial statements. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, derivative liabilities totaled $1.1 million and $15.2 million, or 13% and 65%, respectively, of the Business CombinationCompany’s total liabilities. The analyses of these liabilities are considered critical because of their significance to the Company. Entities must consider whether to classify contracts that may be settled in its own stock, such as warrants, as equity of the entity or as an asset or liability. If an event that is not within the entity’s control could require net cash settlement, then the contract should be classified as an asset or a liability rather than as equity.

The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability and the change in fair value is recorded in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. In circumstances where there are multiple embedded instruments that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

If the embedded conversion options do not require bifurcation, the Company then evaluates for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature by comparing the fair value of the Company’s liquidation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The net proceedsunderlying stock as of the Initial Public Offeringcommitment date to the effective conversion price of the instrument (the intrinsic value).

The Company has computed the fair value of warrants, options, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock issued using the Monte-Carlo and Black-Scholes option pricing models. The expected term used for warrants, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock are the contractual life and the saleexpected term used for options issued is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the Private Units held inexpected term of “plain vanilla” option grants. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the Trust Account are invested inhistorical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. government treasury billsTreasury zero-coupon bonds with a maturityremaining term consistent with the expected term of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investmentinstrument being valued.

The Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Dueevaluated the terms of its AGP Warrants (see Note 6 – Derivative Liabilities) when they were originally earned and determined that the AGP Warrants should initially be liability-classified at their fair value at issuance with subsequent remeasurement (mark-to-market) at period ends. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has concluded that its warrants should remain liability-classified as of that date due to the short-term naturepresence of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposurethe tender offer provision combined with the existence of the exchangeable shares that have voting rights consistent with common stockholders.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURESControls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established and maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensureprovide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) (principal accounting/financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submittedsubmit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’sSEC rules and forms. Disclosure controlsforms, and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officerprincipal executive officer and Chief Financial Officer,principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.disclosures as of September 30, 2022.

 

EvaluationManagement’s evaluation was based on the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which existed as of Disclosure ControlsDecember 31, 2021, and Procedureswhich continue to exist, as discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K:

 

Financial Reporting Systems: The Company did not maintain a fully integrated financial consolidation and reporting system throughout the period and as a result, extensive manual analysis, reconciliation and adjustments were required in order to produce financial statements for external reporting purposes.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation

Ineffective controls: Ineffective review controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes related to stock-based compensation and payroll expense classification.

A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a company with limited accounting resources, a significant amount of management’s time and attention has been and will be diverted from our business to ensure compliance with these regulatory requirements.


Our management plans to establish procedures to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing necessary enhancements or improvements. Management expects to complete its assessment of the design and operationoperating effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting during the second half of 2022. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Remediation Plan

Management continues to take steps to develop and enhance its internal controls over financial reporting, including:

Retaining the same accounting personnel throughout all reporting periods in 2022 to establish continuity of processes and implement sustainable improvements and efficiencies in the financial reporting and consolidation tools and procedures.

Considering opportunities for improving the consolidations and financial statement processes, including exploring migrating to an automated consolidations application which integrates with the existing general ledger program to streamline the consolidations and reporting processes and enhance efficiency and accuracy.

As part of the systems review and potential migration, our plan is to:

oStrengthen the chart of accounts to provide required roll ups;

oReview current mapping and implement new procedures to enhance the controls on future changes; and

oAutomate reporting and calculations whenever possible.

To the extent manual processes, schedules and/or adjustments exist as part of, or following implementation, management reviews must include additional high-level steps such as mapping considerations to financial reporting and detailed reviews of annual schedules to ensure the completeness and appropriate classification of expenses in the financial disclosure and reporting process.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2017. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concludedmanagement recognizes that our disclosureany controls and procedures, (as definedno matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Because of the inherent limitations in Rules 13a-15(e)all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and 15d-15(e)instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the Exchange Act) were effective.degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEMItem 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.Legal Proceedings.

 

None.From time to time, we may be a party to litigation that arises in the ordinary course of our business. The impact and outcome of litigation, if any, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We believe the ultimate resolution of any such current proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on our continued financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from thoseSuch current litigation or other legal proceedings are described in, and incorporated by reference in, this Quarterly Report are any“Item 1. Legal Proceedings” of this Form 10-Q from, “Part I – Item 1. Financial Statements” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in “Note 8 – Commitments and Contingences”, under the heading Legal Matters. The Company believes that the resolution of currently pending matters will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, assessment of the risks describedcurrent litigation or other legal claims could change in our final prospectus dated June 7, 2017light of the discovery of facts not presently known to the Company or by judges, juries or other finders of fact, which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

Additionally, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the Company’s financial condition and operating results for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC.Commission on March 31, 2022, under the heading “Risk Factors”, which risk factors are incorporated by reference herein, except as described below, and investors should review the risks provided in the Form 10-K and below prior to making an investment in the Company. The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, under “Risk Factors”, and below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

Risks Related to Our Business Operations

Our goodwill and intangible assets are subject to impairment risks.

The Company assesses the potential impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill at least annually and otherwise when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment condition may exist. Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, and it is reasonably likely that assumptions and estimates will change in future periods. These changes could result in future impairments. Events and circumstances that the Company considers important which could trigger impairment include the following:

Significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results;

Significant changes in the Company’s strategy for its overall business or use of acquired assets;

Significant negative industry or economic trends;

Significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period;

Decreased market capitalization relative to net book value;

Unanticipated technological change or competitive activities;

Change in consumer demand;

Loss of key personnel; and

Acts by governments and courts.


When there is indication that the carrying value of intangible assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. When there is an indication of impairment of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

It is possible that changes in circumstances, existing at that time or at other times in the future, or in the numerous variables associated with the assumptions and estimates made by the Company in assessing the appropriate valuation of its indefinite-lived intangible assets or goodwill, could in the future require the Company to record impairment charges, which would adversely affect future reported results of operations and stockholders’ equity, although such charges would not affect our cash flow.

As discussed in the risk factor below, we had material impairment charges to our goodwill during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

We have in the past, and may in the future, impair long-lived assets and/or goodwill.

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. An impairment exists when the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its estimated fair value. Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a significantbusiness combination. The Company reviews goodwill yearly, or more frequently whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered, for impairment by initially considering qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative analysis. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative analysis is performed to identify goodwill impairment. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, the market value of the Company’s single reporting unit began to decline and as such, the Company elected to conduct a quantitative analysis of goodwill to assess for impairment. As of September 30, 2022, the market value of the Company’s publicly traded stock was $0.67 per share; the Company determined the fair market value of its single reporting unit as of that date to be $26,102,105, which represents the value per share multiplied by 39,251,286 shares (consisting of 39,246,011 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2022 plus 5,275 special voting shares which are exchangeable into common stock for no additional consideration). The carrying amount of the reporting unit as of September 30, 2022 was $44,974,955 (total assets of $53.2 million less total liabilities of $8.2 million). As of this measurement date, the carrying value exceeded the fair market value by $18,872,850 and as such, management determined that the goodwill of the reporting unit was impaired by this amount. To recognize the goodwill impairment, the Company recorded a loss on goodwill impairment (which appears as an expense on the income statement) for $18,872,850, which reduced the goodwill of its CBR and 180T subsidiaries by $11,264,612 and $7,608,238, respectively.

A continued period of low trading prices of our common stock may force us to incur further material impairments of our reporting units, which could have a material effect on the value of our assets and cause the value of our securities to decline in value. An impairment recognized in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even if the value of our common stock increases in the future. We have in the past and could in the future incur additional impairments of long-lived assets and/or goodwill which may be material.

Our operations are subject to risks associated with ongoing and potential future global conflicts.

Currently, there is an ongoing conflict involving Russia and Ukraine and the war between the two countries continues to evolve as military activity proceeds and additional sanctions are imposed. The war is increasingly affecting economic and global financial markets and exacerbating ongoing economic challenges, including issues such as rising inflation and global supply-chain disruption. While we do not believe this conflict currently has a material impact on our financial accounting and reporting, the degree to which we will be affected in the future largely depends on the nature and duration of uncertain and unpredictable events, and our business could be impacted. Furthermore, future global conflicts or wars could create further economic challenges, including, but not limited to, increases in inflation and further global supply-chain disruption. Consequently, the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict and/or other future global conflicts could result in an increase in operating expenses and/or a decrease in any future revenue and could further have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or 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. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus dated June 7, 2017 filed with the SEC.and cash flow.

ITEM 6. EXHIBITS.We have identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. If not remediated, our failure to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and a failure to meet our reporting and financial obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our securities.

 

The following exhibitsMaintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and effective disclosure controls and procedures are filednecessary for us to produce reliable financial statements. As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, we have determined that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and as part of, or incorporated by reference into,described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.10-Q, our management has determined that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide assurance at a reasonable level 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 in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Such internal control over financial reporting has not been effective since December 31, 2019 and such disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective since December 31, 2021.

 

Our internal control of financial reporting was deemed not effective as of December 31, 2021, because the following material weaknesses existed as of December 31, 2021:

No.Description of ExhibitThe Company did not maintain a fully integrated financial consolidation and reporting system throughout the period and as a result, extensive manual analysis, reconciliation and adjustments were required in order to produce financial statements for external reporting purposes; and

31.1*Certification of Principal Executive Officer The Company had ineffective review controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes related to stock-based compensation and payroll expense classification.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, a material weakness increases the risk that the financial information we report contains material errors. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.

Maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures and effective internal control over financial reporting are necessary for us to produce reliable financial statements and the Company is committed to remediating its material weaknesses in such controls as promptly as possible. However, there can be no assurance as to when these material weaknesses will be remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. Any failure to remediate the material weaknesses, or the development of new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and cause us to fail to meet our reporting and financial obligations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations or may lose confidence in our reported financial information. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis as required by the SEC and NASDAQ, we could face severe consequences from those authorities. In any of these cases, it could result in a material adverse effect on our business, on our financial condition or have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock and warrants. Further, if we fail to remedy this deficiency (or any other future deficiencies) or maintain the adequacy of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, civil or criminal penalties or shareholder litigation against us or our management.

We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of our financial statements will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of those controls.

Further, in the future, if we cannot conclude that we have effective internal control over our financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified opinion regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting (to the extent we may be required in the future), investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could lead to a decline in our stock price. Failure to comply with reporting requirements could also subject us to sanctions and/or investigations by the SEC or NASDAQ, as applicable, or other regulatory authorities.

In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements or our periodic reports filed with the SEC. This may require us to restate prior financial statements.


Global economic conditions could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and growth.

Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, slower growth or recession, new or increased tariffs, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, tighter credit, higher interest rates, high unemployment and currency fluctuations could materially adversely affect the Company operations, expenses, access to capital and the market for the Company’s planned future products. In addition, consumer confidence and spending could be adversely affected in response to financial market volatility, negative financial news, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, declines in income or asset values, changes to fuel and other energy costs, labor and healthcare costs and other economic factors.

In addition, uncertainty about, or a decline in, global or regional economic conditions could have a significant impact on the Company’s funding sources, suppliers and partners. Potential effects include financial instability; inability to obtain credit to finance operations and purchases of the Company’s future planned products; and insolvency.

A downturn in the economic environment could also lead to limitations on the Company’s ability to issue new debt; reduced liquidity; and declines in the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. These and other economic factors could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and growth.

Our industry and the broader US economy have experienced higher than expected inflationary pressures in the first three quarters of 2022, related to continued supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and geopolitical instability. Should these conditions persist our business, future results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

The first three quarters of 2022 have seen significant increases in the costs of certain materials, products and shipping costs, as a result of availability constraints, supply chain disruption, increased demand, labor shortages associated with a fully employed US labor force, high inflation and other factors. Supply and demand fundamentals have been further aggravated by disruptions in global energy supply caused by multiple geopolitical events, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Service, materials and shipping costs have also increased accordingly with general supply chain and inflation issues seen throughout the United States leading to increased operating costs. Recent supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures may adversely impact our operating costs and may negatively impact our future product costs, consulting costs and expenses which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Economic uncertainty may affect our access to capital and/or increase the costs of such capital.

Global economic conditions continue to be volatile and uncertain due to, among other things, consumer confidence in future economic conditions, fears of recession and trade wars, the price of energy, fluctuating interest rates, the availability and cost of consumer credit, the availability and timing of government stimulus programs, levels of unemployment, increased inflation, tax rates, and the war between Ukraine and Russia which began in February 2022. These conditions remain unpredictable and create uncertainties about our ability to raise capital in the future. In the event required capital becomes unavailable in the future, or more costly, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operations, and financial condition.

We may not receive any amounts under our pre-merger directors and officers insurance policy in connection with certain litigation matters.

On June 29, 2022, AmTrust International Underwriters DAC (“AmTrust”), which was the premerger directors and officers insurance policy underwriter for KBL, filed a declaratory relief action against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Declaratory Relief Action”) seeking declaration of AmTrust’s obligations under the directors and officers insurance policy. In the Declaratory Relief Action, AmTrust is claiming that as a result of the merger, the Company is no longer the insured under the subject insurance policy, notwithstanding the fact that the fees which the Company seeks to recover from AmTrust relate to matters occurring prior to the merger. On September 20, 2022, the Company filed its Answer and Counterclaims against AmTrust for bad faith breach of AmTrust’s insurance coverage obligations to the Company under the subject directors and officers insurance policy, and seeking damages of at least $2 million in compensatory damages, together with applicable punitive damages. In addition, the Company brought a Third-Party Complaint against its excess insurance carrier, Freedom Specialty Insurance Company (“Freedom”) seeking declaratory relief that Freedom will also be required to honor its policy coverage as soon as the amount of AmTrust’s insurance coverage obligations to the Company have been exhausted. On October 25, 2022, AmTrust filed its Answer to the Company’s Counterclaims; however, Freedom’s response to the Third-Party Complaint is not yet due. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has recorded an insurance claims receivable of $1,836,940, which it believes is the net recoverable amount advanced to former directors and officers of the Company as of September 30, 2022.  While the Company believes it has a strong case against AmTrust, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this action. In the event that the Company does not prevail in the action, it will not receive the estimated $1,836,940 net recoverable amount, which may have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, results of operations, and balance sheet. Additionally, any funds spent towards the lawsuit may be lost which could also have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. The occurrence of any of the above could have a material adverse effect on the trading value of our securities.


Risks Related to our Common Stock and Warrants

We face significant penalties and damages in the event registration statements we have previously filed to register certain securities sold in our prior offerings are subsequently suspended or terminated.

Pursuant to certain prior private offerings of securities, we entered into registration rights agreements which required us to file certain registration statements to register the resale of the privately sold shares and certain securities issuable upon exercise/conversion thereof, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statements for certain periods of time. To date, all such required registration statements have been declared effective by the SEC. However, in the event the registration statements are subsequently suspended or terminated, or we otherwise fail to meet certain requirements set forth in the registration right agreements, we could be required to pay significant penalties which could adversely affect our cash flow and cause the value of our securities to decline in value.

We are not currently in compliance with the continued listing standards of NASDAQ and may not be able to comply with NASDAQ’s continued listing standards in the future.

Our common stock and warrants trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols “ATNF” and “ATNFW,” respectively. Notwithstanding such listing, there can be no assurance any broker will be interested in trading our securities. Therefore, it may be difficult to sell our securities publicly. There is also no guarantee that we will be able to maintain our listings on The NASDAQ Capital Market for any period of time by perpetually satisfying NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements. We are not currently in compliance with NASDAQ’s continued listing standards and our failure to continue to meet these requirements may result in our securities being delisted from NASDAQ.

On September 30, 2022, we received written notice (the “Notification Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of thirty (30) consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the thirty (30) consecutive business days from August 18, 2022 to September 29, 2022, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement. The Notification Letter states that the Company has 180 calendar days or until March 29, 2023, to regain compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance by March 29, 2023, an additional 180 days may be granted to regain compliance, so long as the Company meets The NASDAQ Capital Market initial listing criteria (except for the bid price requirement) and notifies NASDAQ in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the NASDAQ Listing Rules. The Company plans to seek shareholder approval to authorize a range of a reverse stock split to be implemented and approved at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.

In addition to the minimum price requirement described above, other conditions required for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market include requiring that we maintain at least $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity, $35 million of market value of listed securities, or $500,000 in net income over the prior two years or two of the prior three years, and having a majority of independent directors. Our stockholders’ equity may not remain above NASDAQ’s $2.5 million minimum, our market value of listed securities may not remain above $35,000,000, we may not generate over $500,000 of yearly net income, and we may not be able to maintain independent directors. Furthermore, we are required to maintain a majority of independent directors and at least three members on our audit committee. 


If we fail to comply with NASDAQ rules and requirements (including curing the minimum bid price deficiency discussed above), our stock may be delisted. In addition, even if we demonstrate compliance with the requirements above, we will have to continue to meet other objective and subjective listing requirements to continue to be listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market. Delisting from The NASDAQ Capital Market could make trading our common stock and/or warrants more difficult for investors, potentially leading to declines in our share price and liquidity. Without a NASDAQ Capital Market listing, stockholders may have a difficult time getting a quote for the sale or purchase of our stock, the sale or purchase of our stock would likely be made more difficult and the trading volume and liquidity of our stock could decline. Delisting from The NASDAQ Capital Market could also result in negative publicity and could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance of our common stock and/or warrants as currency or the value accorded by other parties. Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and/or warrants and the ability of our stockholders to sell our common stock and/or warrants in the secondary market. If our common stock and/or warrants are delisted by NASDAQ, our common stock and/or warrants may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB Market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock and/or warrants. In the event our common stock and/or warrants are delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market, we may not be able to list our common stock and/or warrants on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system. 

Provisions of the pre-funded warrants and common warrants granted in July 2022 could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

Certain provisions of the pre-funded warrants and common warrants granted by us in July 2022 could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The pre-funded warrants and common warrants granted by us in July 2022 prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the pre-funded warrants and common warrants. Further, the common warrants granted by us in July 2022 provide that, in the event of certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions,” with some exception, holders of such warrants will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase such common stock warrants at a price described in such warrants. These and other provisions of the pre-funded warrants and common warrants offered by this prospectus could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to stockholders.

Our outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect the trading price of our securities.

As of September 30, 2022, we had (i) outstanding stock options to purchase an aggregate of 3.3 million shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $4.23 per share; (ii) outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase 1.1 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share; and (iii) outstanding warrants to purchase 17.3 million shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $3.30 per share. For the life of the options and warrants, the holders have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock without assuming the risk of ownership. The issuance of shares upon the exercise of outstanding securities will also dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.

The availability of these shares for public resale, as well as any actual resales of these shares, could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of outstanding options or warrants or conversion of other securities, or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of our common stock may have on the market price of our common stock. Sales or distributions of substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares issued in connection with an acquisition), or the perception that such sales could occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.


In addition, the common stock issuable upon exercise/conversion of outstanding convertible securities may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of our stock will decrease, and any additional shares which stockholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb shares sold by holders of our outstanding convertible securities, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease.

A significant number of our shares of common stock are eligible for sale and their sale or potential sale may depress the market price of our common stock.

Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public market could harm the market price of our common stock. Most of our common stock is available for resale in the public market, and if sold would increase the supply of our common stock, thereby causing a decrease in its price. Some or all of our shares of common stock may be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to effective registration statements and/or compliance with Rule 144, which sales could have a depressive effect on the market for our shares of common stock. Subject to certain restrictions, a person who has held restricted shares for a period of six months may generally sell common stock into the market. The sale of a significant portion of such shares when such shares are eligible for public sale may cause the value of our common stock to decline in value.

Future sales and issuances of our common stock or rights to purchase common stock, could result in additional dilution to our stockholders and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

We may issue additional common stock, convertible securities, or other equity in the future. We also issue common stock to our employees, directors, and other service providers pursuant to our equity incentive plans. Such issuances could be dilutive to investors and could cause the price of our common stock to decline. New investors in such issuances could also receive rights senior to those of current stockholders.
