FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – COMPANY BACKGROUND

 

The Company’s predecessor, Cardax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Holdings”), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 23, 2006.

 

Cardax, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB:CDXI) is a development stage biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on the development of pharmaceuticals for chronic diseases driven by inflammation. The Company also has a commercial business unit that markets dietary supplements for inflammatory health. CDX-101, the Company’s astaxanthin pharmaceutical candidate, is being developed for cardiovascular inflammation and dyslipidemia, with a target initial indication of severe hypertriglyceridemia. CDX-301, the Company’s zeaxanthin pharmaceutical candidate, is being developed for macular degeneration, with a target initial indication of Stargardt disease. The Company’s pharmaceutical candidates are currently in pre-clinical development, including the planning of IND enabling studies. ZanthoSyn® is a physician recommended astaxanthin dietary supplement for inflammatory health. The Company sells ZanthoSyn® primarily through wholesale and e-commerce channels. The safety and efficacy of the Company’s products have not been directly evaluated in clinical trials or confirmed by the FDA.

 

Going concern matters

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $1,433,626$1,700,342 and $3,650,740$2,703,210 for the three and nine-monthssix-months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, respectively, and incurred net losses of $928,888$1,081,694 and $3,076,873$2,217,114 for the three and nine-monthssix-months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, respectively. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $65,594,058$69,739,565 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, and has had negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. The Company expects that its marketing program for ZanthoSyn® will continue to focus on outreach to physicians, healthcare professionals, retail personnel, and consumers, and anticipates further losses in the development of its consumer business. The Company also plans to advance the research and development of its pharmaceutical candidates and anticipates further losses in the development of its pharmaceutical business. The Company’s ability to access the capital markets is unknown during the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which may limit or prevent the funding of its operations and related obligations. As a result of these and other factors, management has determined there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the nine-months ended September 30, 2019, theThe Company raisedneeds to raise additional capital to carry out its business plan. As part ofDuring the Company’s efforts, itsix-months ended June 30, 2020, the Company raised an additional $245,000 in equity from existing stockholders and $2,625,000$1,461,300 in gross proceeds fromthrough the issuance of debt including $2,325,000 from related parties. On August 14, 2019, thesecurities. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 on August 14, 2019, as amended September 27, 2019, and November 22, 2019, for a proposed $15 million public offering of common stock and warrants. The Company intends to use the proceeds fromwarrants; however, there can be no assurance that the proposed public offering primarily to fund pharmaceutical development and its operations.will be consummated. The Company’s continued ability to raise additional capital through future equity and debt securities issuances is unknown. Obtaining additional financing,unknown, especially during the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to profitable operations are necessary forCOVID-19 pandemic. If the Company is unable to continue operations.obtain adequate capital, the Company may be required to cease operations or substantially curtail its ongoing and planned commercial activities. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act provides aid to small businesses through programs administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The CARES Act includes, among other things, provisions relating to payroll tax credits and deferrals, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credits, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act also established a Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), under which certain small business are eligible for a loan to fund payroll expenses, rent, and related costs. In April 2020, the Company entered into a PPP loan with a financial institution (see Note 7). Under the terms of the program, the loan amount may be forgiven if certain terms and conditions are met.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Unaudited interim financial information

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

 

Although management believes that the disclosures in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2019.30, 2020 (the “Annual Report”).

 

Revenue from contracts with customers

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard related to revenue recognition. Under the standard, revenueRevenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018, using the retrospective method. As there was no impact on contracts that were previously completed and no significant impact to contracts completed after adoption, there was no need to restate prior results from operations.

 

The Company recognizes revenues from its contracts with customers for its products through wholesale and e-commerce channels when goods and services have been identified, the payment terms agreed to, the contract has commercial substance, both parties have approved the contract, and it is probable that the Company will collect all substantial consideration.

 

The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by revenue source and geographical location. Sales and usage-based taxes are included as a component of revenues for the nine-monthssix-months ended:

Leases

11

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases. This ASU requires management to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for all leases. ASU No. 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous lease guidance. The result of retaining a distinction between finance leases and operating leases is that under the lessee accounting model, the effect of leases in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows is largely unchanged from previous U.S. GAAP. The guidance in ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

 

The Company applied the modified retrospective approach in adopting this standard. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that the Company elected to apply; primarily the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, and the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset. As part of this adoption, the Company will, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous U.S. GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous U.S. GAAP. This adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019, resulted in the Company recognizing a right-to-use asset and lease liability. The Company elected to not recognize any right-to-use assets or liabilities for leases that are twelve months or less. Lease costs are recognized straight-line over the term of the lease. The adoption of this standard did not impact retained earnings or cash flows of the Company.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company accounts for the fair value of the conversion feature in accordance with ASC 815-15,Derivatives and Hedging; Embedded Derivatives, which requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion feature as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible note. The Company is required to carry the embedded derivative on its balance sheet at fair value. The initial value of the embedded derivative is accounted for as a discount to the convertible note and a derivative liability. The liability is required to be remeasured at each reporting date and changes in fair value is recognized as a component in its results of operations. The Company valued the embedded derivatives on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Notes payable

The Company issued various notes payable to related and non-related parties. These notes payable included original issue discounts, detachable warrants, conversion features, beneficial conversion features, and debt issuance costs.

Original issue discounts. The Company accounts for the original issue discounts in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 835-30, Interest and Imputation of Interest, which requires the Company to record the discount as a contra-liability and amortize it over the term of the underlying note using the interest method.
Detachable warrants. The Company accounts for detachable warrants in accordance with ASC No. 470-20, Debt, which requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the detachable warrant as a separated debt instrument. The values are assigned to detachable warrant based on a relative fair allocation between the note, the warrants, and any other debt instrument issued with the note payable. The fair value used for the warrant in this allocation is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
Conversion features. The Company accounts for the fair value of the conversion feature in accordance with ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging; Embedded Derivatives, which requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion feature as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible note. The Company is required to carry the embedded derivative on its balance sheet at fair value. The initial value of the embedded derivative is accounted for as a discount to the convertible note and a derivative liability. The liability is required to be remeasured at each reporting date and the change in fair value is recognized as a component in the results of operations. The Company values the embedded derivatives on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
Beneficial conversion features. The Company accounts for beneficial conversion features in accordance with ASC No. 470-20, Debt, which requires the Company to recognize a discount and charge an amount to additional paid in capital equal to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature.
Debt issuance costs. The Company accounts for debt issuance costs in accordance with ASC No. 470-20, Debt, which requires the Company to recognize a contra-liability for costs incurred with the issuance of debt instruments. These contra-liabilities are amortized over the term of the underlying note payable using the interest method.

Stock issuance costs

Stock issuance costs related to financing are accounted for as a reduction in stock proceeds in accordance with ASC No. 340-10, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Such costs consist of underwriting and legal fees, as well as travel costs incurred. These costs were $182,811 as of June 30, 2020, and are being deferred as a component of prepaid expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet until completion of the proposed public offering.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable, net, of $0 and $205,768 as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, consists of amounts due from sales of dietary supplements.

It is the Company’s policy to provide for an allowance for doubtful collections based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. Normal receivables are due 60 days after the issuance of the invoice. Receivables past due more than 90 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. There was an allowance of $66,261 as of June 30, 2020, in connection with the Chapter 11 filing for reorganization under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code of General Nutrition Corporation (“GNC”), the Company’s largest customer, on June 23, 2020. There was no allowance necessary as of December 31, 2019.

Other significant accounting policies

 

There have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies during the nine-monthssix-months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In November 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-08, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this ASU require that an entity apply the guidance in Topic 718 to measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer. The amount recorded as a reduction in the transaction price should be based on the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment award. The guidance in ASU No. 2019-08 is effective fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company or its results of operations.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB Issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Management is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Reclassifications

 

The Company has made certain reclassifications to conform its prior periods’ data to the current presentation, such as reclassifying a separation agreement that has terms extending beyond one year.presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 910 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to the convertible notes described in Note 8.Notes 8 and 9. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion and reset features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of these derivative liabilities as of the inception date of those convertible notes and each subsequent reporting date.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of these derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The initial value is used in the determination of a note discount with each subsequent change in fair value as a component of operations. The range of fair value assumptions used for derivative financial instruments during the nine-monthssix-months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, were as follows:

 

Dividend yield 0.0%0.0%
Risk-free rate 1.75%0.15% - 2.44%1.43%
Volatility 102%175% - 137%190%

NOTE 1415 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the differences are expected to be reversed.

 

The effective tax rate for the three and three-monthssix-months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, differs from the statutory rate of 21% as a result of state taxes (net of Federal benefit), permanent differences, and a reserve against deferred tax assets.

 

The Company’s valuation allowance was primarily related to the operating losses. The valuation allowance is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 740,Income Taxes, which requires an assessment of both negative and positive evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Based on the available objective evidence and the Company’s history of losses, management provides no assurance that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company has applied a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets net of the expected income from the reversal of the deferred tax liabilities.

Recent tax legislation

On March 22, 2018, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was enacted into law, which significantly changes existing U.S. tax law and includes numerous provisions that affect our business, such as reducing the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

 

Uncertain tax positions

 

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and three state jurisdictions. The preparation of tax returns requires management to interpret the applicable tax laws and regulations in effect in such jurisdictions, which could affect the amount of tax paid by the Company. Management, in consultation with its tax advisors, files its tax returns based on interpretations that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The income tax returns, however, are subject to routine reviews by the various taxing authorities. As part of these reviews, a taxing authority may disagree with respect to the tax positions taken by management (“uncertain tax positions”) and therefore may require the Company to pay additional taxes.

 

Management evaluates the requirement for additional tax accruals, including interest and penalties, which the Company could incur as a result of the ultimate resolution of its uncertain tax positions. Management reviews and updates the accrual for uncertain tax positions as more definitive information becomes available from taxing authorities, completion of tax audits, expiration of statute of limitations, or upon occurrence of other events.

Corporate Overview and History

 

We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on the development of pharmaceuticals for chronic diseases driven by inflammation. We also have a commercial business unit that markets dietary supplements for inflammatory health. CDX-101, our astaxanthin pharmaceutical candidate, is being developed for cardiovascular inflammation and dyslipidemia, with a target initial indication of severe hypertriglyceridemia. CDX-301, our zeaxanthin pharmaceutical candidate, is being developed for macular degeneration, with a target initial indication of Stargardt disease. Our pharmaceutical candidates are currently in pre-clinical development, including the planning of IND enabling studies. ZanthoSyn® is a physician recommended astaxanthin dietary supplement for inflammatory health. We sell ZanthoSyn® primarily through wholesale and e-commerce channels. The safety and efficacy of our products have not been directly evaluated in clinical trials or confirmed by the FDA.

 

At present we are not able to estimate if or when we will be able to generate sustained revenues. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern; however, given our recurring losses from operations, our independent registered public accounting firm has determined there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The decrease in revenues for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributed to a combination of (i) GNC selling through existing ZanthoSyn® inventory we sold to GNC during the prior year, which impacted the timing and amounts of replenishment orders during the current period, (ii) increased promotional activities at GNC stores, which increased the sales discounts passed through to us during the current period, and (iii) GNC inventory adjustments to focus on ZanthoSyn 60 count and 90 count bottles, which are the top performing ZanthoSyn variants at GNC, resulting in a one-time return of remaining ZanthoSyn 30 count bottles from GNC inventory to us.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since our inception, we have sustained operating losses and have used cash raised by issuing securities insecurities. We expect to continue to operate with a net loss until we are able to develop and commercialize our operations.pharmaceutical product candidates. During the nine-monthssix-months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, we used cash in operating activities in the amount of $3,047,889$1,002,577 and $2,712,155,$2,067,948, respectively, and incurred net losses of $3,650,740$2,703,210 and $3,076,873,$2,217,114, respectively.

Our existing liquidity is not sufficient to fund our operations, including payroll, anticipated capital expenditures, working capital, and other financing requirements for the foreseeable future. We may require more financing than anticipated, especially if we experience downturns or cyclical fluctuations in our business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if we experience significant increases in the cost of manufacturing, research and development, or sales and marketing activities, or increases in our expense levels resulting from being a publicly-traded company.

Our working capital and capital requirements at any given time depend upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to:

revenues from the sale of any products or licenses;
costs of production, marketing and sales capabilities, or other operating expenses; and
costs of research, development, and commercialization of our products and technologies.

Our largest customer, GNC, filed for Chapter 11 reorganization under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on June 23, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we provided an allowance of $66,261 for our receivables from GNC. We cannot predict the extent of the impact that GNC’s reorganization will have on our future sales and receivables.

We have undertaken certain actions regarding the advancement of our pharmaceutical development program, the conduct of a dietary supplement clinical trial, and the continued sales and marketing of our commercial dietary supplement. We plan to fund such activities, including compensation to service providers, with a combination of cash and equity payments. The amount of payments in cash and equity will be determined by us from time to time.

We will incur ongoing recurring expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal, and other expenses for annual reports, quarterly reports, proxy statements, and other filings under the Exchange Act. We estimate that these costs will likely be in excess of $250,000 per year. These obligations will reduce our ability and resources to fund other aspects of our business. We hope to be able to use our status as a public company to increase our ability to use non-cash means of settling obligations and compensate certain independent contractors who provide professional services to us, although there can be no assurances that we will be successful in any of those efforts.

 

We require additional financing in order to continue to fund our operations and to pay existing and future liabilities and other obligations.

 

On August 14,During the six-months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we raised financing of $1,461,300 and $1,870,000, respectively. During the six-months ended June 30, 2020, our financing was through the issuance of $1,225,000 in convertible notes payable, $211,300 in a forgivable note payable, and $25,000 in a note payable to a related party. During the six-months ended June 30, 2019, our financing was through the issuance of $245,000 in common stock, $1,475,000 in notes payable to related parties, and $150,000 in a convertible note payable. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, derivative liabilities of $337,068 and $32,615 were recognized in connection with convertible notes outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively; however, these are non-cash amounts and do not directly impact our liquidity or capital needs.

We filed a registration statement on Form S-1 on August 14, 2019, as amended September 27, 2019, and November 22, 2019, for a proposed $15 million public offering of our common stock and warrants.warrants and the listing of our common stock and such warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Proposed Public Offering”). We intend towould use the proceeds from the proposed public offeringany Proposed Public Offering primarily to fund pharmaceutical development and our operations. After giving effect to the net proceeds that we willwould receive from the proposed public offering,Proposed Public Offering, if closed, we expect to have sufficient cash resources to fund the budgeted expenditures forsupport our expected operations for at least one year. Notwithstanding the uncertain market conditions related to COVID-19, we plan to continue to pursue the Proposed Public Offering. We cannot give any assurance that the proposed public offeringProposed Public Offering will be consummated.

We also may continueconsummated on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, prior to any closing of the Proposed Public Offering, we will need to obtain additional financing, from investorswhich may not be available on acceptable terms and conditions, or at all.

As of the date hereof, we have outstanding promissory notes that are (i) due in 2020 in the aggregate principal amount of $681,196, of which $656,196 have terms for conversion and/or repayment amortization, (ii) due in 2021 in the aggregate principal amount of $2,731,980, of which $2,156,980 have terms for conversion and/or repayment amortization, and (iii) due in 2022 in the aggregate principal amount of $1,211,300, of which $211,300 has terms for forgiveness and otherwise for repayment amortization starting in November 2020. Our ability to repay any and all of these notes as they become due if not otherwise repaid or converted on or prior to the maturity dates described above is uncertain and will be based on our ability to raise additional capital, generate additional revenues, and/or modify the terms of such debt instruments to the extent necessary.

We need additional capital to fund our operations and pay our current and future obligations, including without limitation our outstanding promissory notes; however, our ability to access the capital markets or otherwise raise such capital is unknown during the COVID-19 pandemic and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient amounts of capital as and when needed. Any additional financing in one or more transactions through the private placement of our common stock, and warrants to purchase our common stock, or through the issuance of debt, and/or convertible debt securities and plan to do so prior to theany closing of the proposed public offering. There can be no assurance that a financing transaction willProposed Public Offering or as an alternative thereto may not be available to us on acceptable terms and conditions, that we determined are acceptable.or at all.

 

In July 2020, we submitted a grant application to a federal government agency, which is under review as of the date hereof, to fund a proposed clinical trial with one of our astaxanthin products in COVID-19 patients. We are also pursuing other governmental and non-governmental sources of funding for COVID-19 clinical trials. If awarded, any such grant funding would provide non-dilutive capital, but we cannot give any assurance that we will receive any grant funding or the amount or timing or extent of restrictions thereof or our obligations related thereto.

Any inability to obtain additional financing will materially and adversely affect us, including requiring us to significantly curtail or cease business operations altogether. We cannot give any assurance that we will in the future be able to achieve a level of profitability from the sale of existing or future products or otherwise to sustain our operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and reclassification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Any inability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms will materially and adversely affect us, including requiring us to significantly curtail or cease business operations altogether.

Our working capital and capital requirements at any given time depend upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to:

 revenues from the sale of any products or licenses;
42 
costs of production, marketing and sales capabilities, or other operating expenses; and
costs of research, development, and commercialization of our products and technologies.

 

We have undertaken certain actions regarding the advancement of our pharmaceutical development program, the conduct of a dietary supplement clinical trial, and the continued sales and marketing of our commercial dietary supplement. We plan to fund such activities, including compensation to service providers, with a combination of cash and equity payments. The amount of payments in cash and equity will be determined by us from time to time.

 

We expect that the proposed public offering should provide sufficient capital to satisfy our ongoing obligations, although no assurance can be made that such public offering will be consummated on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operating activities, and proceeds from the revolving inventory financing facility or the proposed public offering are insufficient to fund our future activities, including the development of our pharmaceutical candidates, we will need to raise additional funds through private or public equity or debt financings or bank credit arrangements. We also may need to raise additional funds in the event we determine to effect one or more acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, services, or technologies. If additional funding is required, we may not be able to effect equity or debt financing or obtain bank credit arrangements on terms acceptable to us or at all.

The following is a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and provided by financing activities during the periods indicated:
