Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. (“Oncotelic”), was formed in the State of New York in 1988 as OXiGENE, Inc., was reincorporated in the State of Delaware in 1992, and changed its name to Mateon Therapeutics, Inc. in 2016, and Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. in November 2020. Oncotelic conducts business activities through Oncotelic and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Oncotelic, Inc., a Delaware corporation, PointR Data, Inc. (“PointR”), a Delaware corporation: and EdgePoint AI, Inc. (“Edgepoint”), a Delaware Corporation for which there are non-controlling interests, (Oncotelic, Oncotelic Inc., PointR, Pet2DAO and Edgepoint are collectively called the “~~Company~~Company”” or “We”). The Company completed a reverse merger with Oncotelic Inc in April 2019, a merger with PointR in November 2019 and formed a subsidiary Edgepoint in February 2020. For more information on these mergers, refer to our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021.

The Company is currently developing OT-101, through its joint venture (“JV”) with Dragon Overseas Capital Limited (“Dragon”) and GMP Biotechnology Limited (“GMP Bio”), both affiliates of Golden Mountain Partners (“GMP”), for various cancers and COVID-19, Artemisinin for COVID-19 and AI technologies for clinical development and manufacturing. The Company is also independently planning to develop OT-101 for certain animal health indications and contemplating using crypto currencies for that platform. The Company has acquired apomorphine for Parkinson’s Disease, erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction. In addition, the Company is evaluating the further development of its product candidates OXi4503 as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes and CA4P in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma.

The Company is primarily a cancer immunotherapy company dedicated to the development of first in class self-immunization protocol (“SIP™”) candidates for difficult to treat cancers. The Company’s proprietary SIP™ candidates are expected to offer advantages over other immunotherapies because they do not require extraction of the tumor or isolation of the antigens, and they have the potential for broad-spectrum applicability for multiple cancer types. The Company’s proprietary product candidates have shown promising clinical activity in phase 2 trials for the treatment of gliomas and pancreatic cancers. The Company aims to translate its unique insights, which span more than three decades of original work using RNA therapeutics, into the deployment of antisense as a RNA therapeutic for diseases which are caused by TGF-β overexpression, starting with cancer and expanding to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (“DMD”) and others. ~~Oncotelic Inc.’s lead product candidate,~~ OT-101, is being developed as a broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug that can also be used in combination with other standard cancer therapies to establish an effective multi-modality treatment strategy for difficult-to-treat cancers. ~~Together, the Company~~The JV plans to initiate phase 2 and 3 clinical trials for OT-101 in both high-grade glioma and pancreatic cancer, and any other indications that may ~~evolve.~~evolve, for human pharmaceutical needs. The JV will also be sponsoring many investigator-initiated studies for OT-101 for other oncology indications. The Company is evaluating the further development of its product candidates OXi4503 as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes and CA4P in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma. The ~~Company~~JV is also developing OT-101 for the various epidemics and pandemics, similar to the current corona virus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. In this connection, the Company entered into an agreement and supplemental agreement with ~~Golden Mountain Partners (“~~GMP”) for a total of $1.2million to render services and was paid for the development of OT-101. The Company is working with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority to conduct an observational study to evaluate the effects of long Covid-19 and has been provided a grant of up to $0.75 million for the study. In 2020 and 2021, the Company was developing Artemisinin as a potential therapy for COVID-19. Artemisinin, purified from a plant Artemisia annua. For more information on GMP and Artemisinin, refer to our ~~2021~~2022 Annual report on Form ~~10-K~~10-K/A filed with the SEC on April ~~15, 2022.~~19, 2023.

In November 2022, the Company formed a Decentralized autonomous organization (“DAO”) entity, Pet2DAO LLC (“Pet2DAO”), as a wholly owned subsidiary. A DAO is an emerging form of legal structure, that has no central governing body, and whose members share a common goal to act in the best interest of the entity. Pet2DAO is a DAO technology company, integrating the strong governance of traditional corporations with the innovative DAO architecture. The Company will look to engage stakeholders, to build value through the DAO, while maintaining the rigor of traditional corporations, including governance, compliance, and accountability through a team of veterans in public companies with innovators in AI, blockchain and Web3. Pet2DAO will initially be looking to develop products for the animal health space. The Company will initially issue regular tokens and non-fungible tokens (“NFT” and cumulatively “Tokens”) of Pet2DAO called PDAO to its employees, shareholders and key opinion leaders (“KOLs’) and use the Tokens to propose and vote on various animal health related programs. In the future, the Company will evaluate and plan to register these tokens with the SEC ~~on April 15, 2022.~~to make such Tokens freely tradable at a future point in time.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oncotelic, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Oncotelic Inc. and PointR, and Edgepoint our non-controlled interest entity. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net accumulated losses of approximately $~~19.9~~ 32.9million since inception of Oncotelic Inc., as the Company’s historical financial statements before the Merger have been replaced with the historical financial statements of Oncotelic Inc. The Company also has a negative working capital of ~~over $~~15~~.6 million and negative cash flow from operations of~~ approximately $~~1.2~~ 17.8million at June 30, ~~2022.~~2023, of which approximately $2.6 million contingent liability of issuance of common shares of the Company to PointR shareholders upon achievement of certain milestones in accordance with the PointR Merger Agreement. The Company has negative cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of approximately $0.7 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of this ~~filing.~~filing Management expects to incur significantly lower costs and losses in the foreseeable future, ~~and~~as a majority of the costs related with the development of OT-101 will be incurred by the JV, but the Company also recognizes the need to raise capital to remain viable. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. ~~For more information on Liquidity and Going Concern, refer to our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022.~~

The Company’s long-term plans include continued development of its current pipeline of products, in addition to continue the development of OT-101, which is exclusively out-licensed to the JV and the JV will be responsible for the cash required to support the development in entirety, to generate sufficient revenues, through either technology transfer or product sales, to cover its anticipated expenses. Until the Company is able to generate sufficient revenues from its current pipeline, the Company plans on funding its operations through the sale of equity and/or the issuance of debt, combined with or without warrants or other equity instruments.

Although no assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to deliver on its revenue plans, or that unforeseen expenses may arise, management believes that the potential equity and debt financing or other potential financing will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern. Also, management cannot guarantee any potential debt or equity financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. As such, management does not believe the Company has sufficient cash for 12 months from the date of this report. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company will need to curtail operations, or cease operations completely.

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

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

As of June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 the Company held all its cash in banks. The Company considers investments in highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. Restricted cash consists of certificates of deposits held at banks as collateral for various purposes.

Issuance costs are specific incremental costs that are (1) paid to third parties and (2) directly attributable to the issuance of a debt or equity instrument. The issuance costs attributable to the initial sale of the instrument are offset against the associated proceeds in the determination of the instrument’s initial net carrying amount.

Debt issuance costs and debt discounts are being amortized over the lives of the related financings on a basis that approximates the effective interest method. Costs and discounts are presented as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying balance sheets if related to the issuance of debt or presented as a reduction of additional paid in capital if related to the issuance of an equity instrument. The Company applies the relative fair value to allocate the issuance costs among freestanding instruments that form part of the same transaction.

If the Company amends the terms of its convertible notes, the Company reviews and applies the guidance per ASC 470-60 Troubled debt restructurings and ASC 470-50 Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments, evaluates and concludes whether the terms of the agreements were or were not substantially different as of a particular reporting date and accounts the transaction as a debt modification or a troubled debt restructuring.

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

The following table summarizes the cumulative gross unrealized gains and losses and fair values for long-term investments accounted for at fair value under the fair value option, with the unrealized gains and losses reported within earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation as atof June 30, ~~2022. No similar investments were held by the Company at~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021:~~2022.:

The table below sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s long-term investment in equity securities, based on a third-party valuation report, as a Level 3 fair value as of June 30, ~~2022. The Company did not own similar investments as at June 30, 2021:~~2023 and December 31, 2022:

The Company has certain derivative liabilities associated with its 2019 bridge financing Convertible Notes (see Note 5), which consisted of conversion feature derivatives at June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~December 31, 2022, are Level 3 fair value measurements.

The table below sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities classified as Level 3 as of June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021:~~2022:

As of June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, and ~~December 31, 2021,~~2022, the Company estimated the fair value of the conversion feature derivatives embedded in the convertible debentures based on assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model. The key valuation assumptions used consists, in part, of the price of the Company’s Common Stock, a risk-free interest rate based on the yield of a Treasury note and expected volatility of the Company’s Common Stock all as of the measurement dates. The Company used the following assumptions to estimate fair value of the derivatives as of June 30, ~~2022:~~2023 and 2022, respectively:

When the Company changes its valuation inputs for measuring financial liabilities at fair value, either due to changes in current market conditions or other factors, it may need to transfer those liabilities to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Company recognizes these transfers at the end of the reporting period that the transfers occur. For the periods ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, respectively, there were no transfers of financial assets or financial liabilities between the hierarchy levels.

The $2,625,000of contingent consideration, of shares issuable to PointR shareholders which was recorded and associated with the PointR Merger, is also classified as Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company initially recorded the contingency based on a valuation conducted by a third-party valuation expert. The valuation was based on a probability of the completion of certain milestones by PointR for the shareholders to earn additional shares. The Company evaluated the probability of the earning of the milestones and concluded that the probability of achievement of the milestones had not changed, primarily due to the shifting of focus by the Company to develop AI technologies for the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the Company did not record any change to the valuation during the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 or ~~2021,~~2022, respectively.

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share includes the effect of Common Stock equivalents (notes convertible into Common Stock, stock options and warrants) when, under either the treasury or if-converted method, such inclusion in the computation would be dilutive. ~~The Company~~For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, no equivalent shares of the Common Stock were excluded as the company has ~~excluded from diluted~~a loss ~~per share~~and addition of such stock equivalents in the ~~dilutive shares, since such inclusion~~computation would behave been anti-dilutive.

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

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

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

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and the year ended December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, there were 0no impairment losses recognized for long-lived assets.

The Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company reviews the intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that they are impaired. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. If the review indicates the impairment, an impairment loss would be recorded for the difference of the value recorded and the new value. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, ~~and the year ended December 31, 2021,~~respectively, there were 0noimpairment losses recognized for intangible assets. When we sell or contribute properties to unconsolidated arrangements and retain a non-controlling ownership interest in such assets, we recognize the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of the asset sold or contributed. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we derecognized the intangibles of $0.8 million associated with ~~OT-101upon~~OT-101 upon the transfer of our non-financial asset as a capital contribution for our 45% ownership in the JV.

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

The first step involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount is determined to be greater than the fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in step one. The implied fair value of the goodwill in this step is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is less than the carrying value of the goodwill, an impairment loss equivalent to the difference is recorded. ~~For~~As such, for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2022 and~~2023 we recorded an impairment loss of approximately $6.1 million on our goodwill. No similar impairment was recorded for the three or six months ended June 30, 2022. For the year ended December 31, ~~2021 there were~~ 0impairment losses recognized for Goodwill. When we sell or contribute properties to unconsolidated arrangements and retain a non-controlling ownership interest in such assets, we recognize the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of the asset sold or contributed. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 we had recorded an impairment loss of approximately $4.1 million on our goodwill and derecognized the goodwill of $4.8million associated with ~~OT-101upon~~OT-101 upon the transfer of our non-financial asset as a capital contribution for our 45% ownership in the JV. For more information on goodwill and impairment, refer to Note 3 to these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have generally issued derivative financial instruments, such as warrants, in connection with our equity offerings. We evaluate the terms of these derivative financial instruments in order to determine their accounting treatment in our financial statements. Key considerations include whether the financial instruments are freestanding and whether they contain conditional obligations. If the warrants are freestanding, do not contain conditional obligations and meet other classification criteria, we account for the warrants as an equity instrument. However, if the warrants contain conditional obligations, then we account for the warrants as a liability until the conditional obligations are met or are no longer relevant. Because no established market prices exist for the warrants that we issue in connection with our equity offerings, we must estimate the fair value of the warrants, which is as inherently subjective as it is for stock options, and for similar reasons as noted in the stock-based compensation section above. For financial instruments which are accounted for as a liability, we report any changes in their estimated fair values as gains or losses in our Consolidated Statement of Income.

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

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

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

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

The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual relationships and other interests in entities to determine the nature and extent of the interests, whether such interests are variable interests and whether the entities are VIEs in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidations. These evaluations can be complex and involve Management judgment as well as the use of estimates and assumptions based on available historical information, among other factors. Based on these evaluations, if the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the entity is consolidated into the financial statements. At June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company identified EdgePoint to be the Company’s sole VIE. At June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company’s ownership percentage of EdgePoint was 29% and 29%, respectively. The VIE’s net assets were less than $0.1~~million and $0.1~~ million at June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively.

~~The Company signed a joint venture agreement (“~~~~JVA~~”) with Dragon to form a joint venture called GMP Biotechnology, LLC, both affiliates of GMP, on March 31, 2022. The JVA prescribes certain requirements to be completed during the three months ended June 30, 2022 to make the JV fully functional and operational, including issuance of the shares issuable to the Company and Dragon.

The Company accounts for equity method investments at cost, adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company periodically reviews the investments for other than temporary declines in fair value below cost and more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

The Investment in GMP Bio represents the investment into equity securities for which the Company elected the fair value option pursuant to ASC 825-10-15 and subsequent fair value changes in the GMP Bio shares shall be included in the result from other income. Refer to Note 6 to these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have equity interest in unconsolidated arrangement that is primarily engaged in the business of drug discovery, development, and commercialization, including but not limited to development and commercialization of TGF-beta therapeutics as well as establishing and operating contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”) facilities and capabilities. The Company first reviews the arrangement to determine if it meets the definition of an accounting joint venture pursuant to ASC 323-10-20. In order to meet the definition of a joint venture, the arrangement must have all of the following characteristics, (i) the arrangement is organized within a separate legal entity, (ii) the entity is under the joint control of the venturers, (iii) the venturers must be able to exercise joint control through their equity investments, (iv) the qualitative characteristics of the entity, including its purpose and design must be consistent with the definition of a joint venture.

We consolidate arrangements that are considered to be VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary. We analyze our investments in joint ventures to determine if the joint venture is considered a VIE and would require consolidation. We (i) evaluate the sufficiency of the total equity investment at risk, (ii) review the voting rights and decision-making authority of the equity investment holders as a group and whether there are limited partners (or similar owning entities) that lack substantive participating or kick out rights, guaranteed returns, protection against losses, or capping of residual returns within the group and (iii) establish whether activities within the venture are on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights in making this VIE determination.

To the extent that we own interests in a VIE and we (i) have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) have the obligation or rights to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, then we would be determined to be the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the VIE. To the extent that we own interests in a VIE, then at each reporting period, we re-assess our conclusions as to which, if any, party within the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary.

To the extent that our arrangements do not qualify as VIEs, they are consolidated if we control them through majority ownership interests or if we are the managing entity (general partner or managing member) and our partner does not have substantive participating rights. Control is further demonstrated by our ability to unilaterally make significant operating decisions, refinance debt, and sell the assets of the joint venture without the consent of the non-managing entity and the inability of the non-managing entity to remove us from our role as the managing entity.

We use the equity method of accounting for those arrangements where we exercise significant influence but do not have control. Under the equity method of accounting, our investment in each arrangement is included on our consolidated balance sheet; however, the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures for which we use the equity method are not included on our consolidated balance sheet.

When we sell or contribute properties to unconsolidated arrangements and retain a non-controlling ownership interest in such assets, we recognize the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of the asset sold or contributed when its derecognition criteria are met. The equity method investment we retain in such partial sale transactions is noncash consideration and is measured at fair value. As a result, the accounting for a partial sale will result in the recognition of a full gain or loss.

When circumstances indicate there may have been a reduction in the value of an equity investment, we evaluate whether the loss in value is other than temporary. If we conclude it is other than temporary, we recognize an impairment charge to reflect the equity investment at fair value.

The Company elected the fair value option under the fair value option Subsection of Section 825-10-15 to account for its equity-method investment as the Company believes that the fair value option is most appropriate for a company in the biotechnology industry, The fair value option is more appropriate for companies that are involved in extensive and usually very expensive research and development efforts, which are not appropriately reflected in the market value or reflective of the true value of the development activities of the ~~company~~company.

In August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2020-06”) which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition was permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2023.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).

Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of the promised good or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company identifies the performance obligation(s) in the contract by assessing whether the goods or services promised within each contract are distinct. The Company then recognizes revenue for the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

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

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

In accordance with ASC 730-10-25 “Research and Development”, research and development costs are charged to expense as and when incurred.

In August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2020-06”) which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments.

Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition was permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The ~~is evaluating~~Company has adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2023 and as of the ~~impact of implementation on its financial statements, if any.~~three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded approximately $0.5 million as a reduction to the additional paid in capital and added approximately $0.3 million to the opening retained earnings in accordance with the authoritative guidance under ASU 2020-06.

~~Certain amounts in prior periods may have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.~~

The Company completed the merger with Oncotelic Inc. (“Merger”) in April 2019. The Company completed the merger with PointR Data Inc (“PointR Merger”) in November 2019. For more details, refer to our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed by the Company on April 15, 2021.

The Oncotelic merger gave rise to Goodwill of approximately $~~4,879,999~~4.9~~. Further, we added goodwill of $16,182,456~~ upon the completion of the Merger with PointR. In general, the goodwill is tested on an annual impairment date of December 31. However, as of June 30, 2022, since both assets are currently being developed for various cancer and COVID-19 therapies, the Company does not believe the there are any factors or indications that the goodwill is impaired.

million. Upon the non-financial sale of our asset as contribution to our equity method investment, we derecognized the balance of the carrying value of our goodwill of approximately $4.9million from the Oncotelic Merger in accordance with our policy and authoritative accounting guidance.

Further, we added goodwill of $16,182,456 upon the completion of the Merger with PointR.

We have one operating segment and reporting unit. Accordingly, our review of goodwill impairment indicators was performed at the entity-wide level. In performing our annual impairment assessment, we determined if we should qualitatively assess whether it was more likely than not the fair value of goodwill was less than its carrying amount (the qualitative impairment test). The factors we considered in the assessment included our market capitalization, general macroeconomic conditions, conditions specific to the industry and market and whether there had been sustained declines in our share price. If we concluded, it was more likely than not, the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, or elected not to use the qualitative impairment test, a quantitative impairment test would be performed.

We used, and will continue to use, our market capitalization as an indicator of fair value. While we believe the fair value measurement need not be based solely on the quoted market price of an individual share of our Common Stock, and that we also could consider the impact of a control premium in measuring the fair value of its reporting unit. In the absence of any other valuation metrics, the Company believed using a control premium utilized would not be appropriate under the current circumstances. We also considered some other market comparable’ trends in our stock price, as well as the industry, over a period of two successive quarters and prospective quarter to evaluate whether the fair value of our reporting unit was greater than our carrying amount. As such, we performed a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill for our single reporting unit at the end of 2022, due to a sustained decline in our market capitalization and an increase in negative economic outlook for biotech markets We estimated and reconciled the fair value of our reporting unit utilizing our market capitalization based on the stock price of our Common Stock as of December 31, 2022. Before completing our goodwill impairment test, we first tested our indefinite-lived intangible asset then our remaining long-lived assets for impairment. We concluded our indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired. Based on the market capitalization, we further concluded the fair value of our single reporting unit was less than its carrying value and therefore recognized an impairment charge of $4.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. The calculation of the impairment charge included substantial fact-based determinations and estimates.

A summary of our goodwill as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is shown below:

In general, the goodwill is tested on an annual impairment date of December 31, unless we observe any further deterioration in our market capitalization, in which case we may, depending on the materiality of the impairment, record an impairment at the end of other reporting periods. Since we observed a significant drop in the stock price of our Common Stock, we assessed that an additional impairment needed to be recorded, solely based on the market capitalization of our stock as of June 30, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022. as such, the Company concluded that an additional impairment was required to be recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 of approximately $6.1 million. No similar impairment was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

In April 2018, Oncotelic Inc. entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Autotelic Inc., an affiliate company, and Autotelic LLC, an affiliate company, pursuant to which Oncotelic acquired the rights to all intellectual property (“IP”) related to a patented product. As consideration for the Assignment Agreement, Oncotelic Inc. issued 204,798shares of its Common Stock for a value of $819,191. The Assignment Agreement also provides that Oncotelic Inc. shall be responsible for all costs related to the IP, including development and maintenance, going forward. After the formation of the JV with Dragon, the costs of development and maintenance are now the responsibility of the JV.

On March 31, 2022, the Company entered into (i) a joint venture (the “JV”) agreement with Dragon and GMP Bio, both affiliates of GMP, (and the Company, Dragon and GMP Bio are collectively called the “Parties”) (the “JVA”), (ii) a license agreement for rights to OT-101 (the “US License Agreement”) for the territory within the United States of America (the “US”) with Sapu Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of GMP Bio and (iii) a license agreement for rights to OT-101 for the rest of the world with GMP Bio (the “Ex-US Rights Agreement”, and the US License Agreement and the Ex-US License Agreement are collectively called the “Agreements”). For more information on the JV, JVA, and Agreements, refer to our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 19, 2023.

~~Dragon and the Company entered into the JVA to regulate their relationship and the operation and management~~As of the ~~JV. The JVA contains provisions for the licensed products and licensed technologies related to OT-101 (the “~~~~Licensed products and technologies~~”). Pursuant to the JVA the Company is required to transfer to GMP Bio all of the Company’s rights and obligations under the research and development agreement dated 3 February 2020 between the Company and Golden Mountain Partners, LLC (“~~GMP~~”), an affiliate of Dragon, as amended, varied and/or supplemented by a supplement to research and Services Agreement dated 23 March 2020 between the Company, Mateon Therapeutics, Inc. (subsequently renamed the Company) and GMP (the ~~“R&D Agreement”~~). The JVA permits GMP to seek conversion of certain convertible promissory notes entered into between the Company and GMP (see reference to Purchase Agreements and Notes below) into shares of the Common Stock of the Company within 15 business days of the execution of the JVA at a price of $0.2242 per Common Share, the closing price of the Common Share as traded on the OTCQB the day prior to the execution of the JVA, or the closing price of the Common Stock prior to the date of conversion if not within 15 business days of the JVA. Upon the execution of the JVA, Dragon will pay for and hold 55 shares of GMP Bio and the Company will pay for and hold 45 shares of GMP Bio, both to be acquired at $1.00 per share of GMP Bio. Such shares of GMP Bio were issued shortly after theeffective date of the ~~JVA~~. The JVA required the entering into of the Agreements on or before the execution of the JVA. The JVA defines the valuation of the Agreements (taking into account the transfer of the Company’s rights and obligations under the R&D Agreement) each at approximately $~~11.3 million, for an aggregate of approximately $22.7 million~~. ~~The Parties also agreed that if a Rare Pediatric Disease (“~~~~RPD~~~~”) Priority Review Voucher, upon clinical approval of OT-101 Technologies for treatment of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (the “~~~~DIPG Voucher~~”), is issued to GMP Bio and GMP Bio, or a subsidiary thereof, sells the DIPG Voucher to a non-GMP subsidiary, then the Company shall be eligible to receive up to 50% of the net sales proceeds or $50 million, whichever is less. Dragon shall fund the JVA, for a total of approximately $27.7 million, based on the conditions contained in the JVA, and the Company will input the licenses under the Agreements into the JV. The Company is obligated to (i) (A) rectify the chain of legal title such that the Company is the sole legal owner of such rights, (B) complete registration as the sole owner of all the Company’s Patent Rights and (C) provide evidence of such registration that is satisfactory to Dragon; (ii) provide Dragon with copies of official documents issued by the relevant patent offices in the relevant countries evidencing the Company’s legal ownership of all the Company’s Patents Rights; and (iii) reflect the Company’s legal ownership of all the Company’s Patent Rights in the relevant online registers of the relevant patent offices in the relevant countries. The JVA intends to raise funding for the JVA through a Series A round of financing of not less than $20 million.~~Dragon can suspend funding the JVA if the Series A round of financing is not successfully completed by August 31, 2022, in which case Dragon’s funding obligation would be restricted to $250,000~~ per month to GMP Bio. If Dragon decides to terminate the JVA, the licenses granted under the Agreements shall be terminated and the OT-101 assets licensed by the Company will revert back to the Company. The rest of the JVA deals with the conductformation of the JV, the ~~board of directors~~combined enterprise value of GMP Bio and other administrative matters. Dragon shall nominate up to three directors of their choosing to the board of directors of GMP Bio, two of whom are already nominated as “A” Directors and the Company shall nominate up to two directors of their choosing to the board of directors of GMP Bio, one of whom is already nominated as a “B” Director. The JVA defines how the board of directors will operate as well as the general management and operationswas approximately $50.4 million, comprising of the JV. Other standard terms on shareholder rights, indemnification etc. are also defined in the JVA. Also included are the other terms with relation to insurance, indemnification, jurisdiction and other customary terms and conditions.

The Agreements include terms of an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable license under the Licensed Technology to manufacture, have manufactured, use, import, sell, offer for sale or otherwise exploit the Licensed Products, which is OT-101, in the Field, which is all therapeutic uses in humans, and in the Territories, which is the US and the rest of the world. In addition, the Company grants a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, non-sublicensable license for its sole usefair value of the Company’s ~~Vision Grid system for monitoring process, man flow, equipment flow, and material flow~~investment in ~~contract development and manufacturing organization operations. These have been granted to~~ GMP Bio and Sapu Holdings, LLC as the capital contribution by the Company to GMP Bio. The Agreements include the contributions by the key employees, as defined and included in the Agreements, standard representations and warranties, intellectual property protection, insurance, indemnification, jurisdiction and other customary terms and conditions.

The Company determined that the arrangement does not meet the accounting definition of a joint venture. Subsequently, we analyzed our investment and determined that such investment was not considered a VIE, which would require consolidation because the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the JV. The Company does not control the JV through majority ownership interest or Board participation. As such, the Company followed the guidance in ASC 610-20 regarding the sale of nonfinancial assets to noncustomers when retaining a non-controlling ownership interest in such assets. The Company is deemed to have substantially transferred the actual intellectual property related to OT-101 as the investee can benefit from the risk and rewards of ownership of such intellectual property. This resulted in the derecognition of the carrying amount of our intangible assets for approximately $~~0.8~~ ~~million and goodwill for $4.9~~ ~~million for an aggregate amount~~ of approximately $~~5.7~~ 22.7~~million , recorded its initial investment at its fair value for approximately $22.6~~ million and ~~which resulted in a non-cash gain on non-financial asset disposal~~the total original capital contributions by Dragon Overseas of approximately $17 27.7~~million, which was reported in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.~~ million. As of June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the JV had approximately $~~0.8~~22.7 million in assets, not including GMP Bio’s capital subscriptions of approximately $19 million; recorded approximately $~~0.2~~0.5 million in liabilities and incurred approximately $~~2.1~~1.5 million in operational ~~expenses.~~expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as GMP’s fiscal year commences on April 1 and ends on March 31. The Company elected the fair value option under subsection of Section 825-10-15 to account for its equity-method investment as the Company believes that it the most appropriate method to properly value the Company and record a change in value aswhen and ~~when an event occurs that requires~~upon conducting a fair value assessment. As of June 30, 2023, the Company does not believe the fair value of the JV has changed and hence has not recorded a change in value.

For information on the various notes from GMP, refer to Note 5 – GMP Notes of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements above.

During the period from July 2020 to March 31, 2021, the Company entered into various subscription agreements with certain accredited investors, including the CEO, pursuant to the JH Darbie Financing, whereby the Company issued and sold a total of 100Units, for total gross proceeds of approximately $5million, pursuant to the JH Darbie Placement Agreement, with each Unit consisting of:

As June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 funds received under the JH Darbie Financing, net of debt discount, consist of the following amounts:

The Company incurred approximately $0.64million of issuance costs, including legal costs of approximately $39,000, that are incremental costs directly related to the issuance of the various instruments bundled in the offering.

Concurrently with the sale of the Units, JH Darbie was granted a warrant, exercisable over a five-year period, to purchase 10% of the number of Units sold in the JH Darbie Financing. As such, the Company granted 10 Units to JH Darbie pursuant to the JH Darbie Placement Agreement.

The Company allocated the proceeds among the freestanding financial instruments that were issued in the single transaction using the relative fair value method, which affects the determination of each financial instrument initial carrying amount. The Company utilized the relative fair value method as none of the freestanding financial instruments issued as part of the single transaction are measured at fair value. Under the relative fair value method, the Company made separate estimates of the fair value of each freestanding financial instrument and then allocated the proceeds in proportion to those fair value amounts. The Company recorded non-controlling interests of approximately $1 million in Edgepoint. Non-controlling interests represent the portion of net assets in consolidated entities that are not owned by the Company and are reported as a component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets.

~~As of the multiple closings of the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2021, under~~For more information on the private placement, ~~memorandum with JH Darbie, the estimated volume weighted grant date fair value of approximately $0.21~~ ~~per share associated~~refer to our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the ~~warrants to purchase up to~~ ~~2,035,000~~ ~~shares of common stock issued in this offering, or a total of approximately $~~ ~~0.7~~ ~~million, was recorded to additional paid-in capital~~SEC on ~~a relative fair value basis. All warrants sold in this offering had an exercise price of $0.20~~ ~~per share of the Company stock or $1.00~~ ~~per share of Edge Point, subject to adjustment, are exercisable immediately and expire~~ ~~three yearsfrom the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Black Scholes valuation models using the following input values:~~April 19, 2023.

~~SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE WARRANTS ESTIMATED USING BLACK SCHOLES VALUATION MODEL~~

In February 2022, the Company and all except one of the Investors agreed to extend the maturity date of the Notes from March 31, 2022, to March 31, 2023. In consideration for the extension of the Notes, the Company issued to the Investors an aggregate of 33,000,066Oncotelic Warrants at a price of $0.15per share of Company’s Common Stock. Each Investor will be entitled to receive 333,334Oncotelic Warrants for each Unit purchased. Upon the amendment of the terms of the convertible notes under the private placement memorandum. As incentive to extend the maturity date, approximately 33 million warrants were issued to the Unit Holders who participated in the amendment, The Company repaid the 1-unit holder who did not participate in the amendment shortly after March 31, 2022.

~~The Company reviewed~~ During the ~~guidance per ASC 470-60 Troubled debt restructurings and ASC 470-50 Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments and concluded that the terms of the agreements were substantially different as of~~six months ended June 30, 2022, and, accounted for the transaction as a debt extinguishment. The loss is recognized equal to the difference between the net carrying amount of the original debt and the fair value of the modified debt instrument.

~~At March 31, 2022,~~2023, the Company ~~estimated~~partially repaid one unit holder,who will not be participating in the ~~fair value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the amendment of the private placement under the~~new JH Darbie financing based on assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model. The key valuation assumptions used consists, in part, of the price of the Company’s Common Stock, a risk-free interest rate based on the yield of a Treasury note and expected volatility of the Company’s Common Stock all as of the measurement date. The Company used the following assumptions to estimate fair value of the warrants:financing.

~~All the warrants issued in conjunction with the amendment #5 had an exercise price of $0.15~~ ~~per share and are immediately exercisable and expire two years from the date of issuance or February 9, 2024. The warrants resulted in an aggregate fair value of approximately $2.9~~ ~~million.~~

The Company recognized amortization expense related to the debt discount and debt issuance costs of approximately $~~52,111~~ 8,400and approximately $~~659,854~~ 52,000for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~June 30, 2021~~2022, respectively, which is included in interest expense in the statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2023, the JH Darbie PPM Notes are in default as these notes were to be paid at the end of March 2023. The Company is in discussion with JH Darbie to close out these notes. The Company and JH Darbie have started a new private placement financing and which will be used, partially, to have the earlier PPM participants to roll over their investments into the new private placement. In this connection, 40 unit holders, comprising 15 investors, have already converted their notes into the new private placement after the close of this quarter. The Company is still working with the remaining prior JH Darbie financing investors to roll over their promissory notes into the new private placement. While the Company is fairly confident most, if not all the prior PPM investors, will roll over their debt into the new private placement.

~~Pursuant~~The Company has issued warrants in connection with the various financings conducted by the Company. For mor information on the warrant issuances, refer to our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023. The Company issued 10,576,924 warrants related to the ~~Merger, the Company’s Common Stock and corresponding outstanding warrants survived.~~November/December 2021 Notes (See Note 6). The ~~below information represents the Company’s associated warrant activity.~~

~~In February 2022,~~ ~~the Company and all except one of the Investors agreed to extend the maturity date of the Notes from March 31, 2022, to March 31, 2023. In consideration for the extension of the Notes, the Company issued to the Investors an aggregate of approximately~~ 33 ~~million Oncotelic Warrants at a price of $0.15~~ ~~per share of Company’s Common Stock. At June 30, 2022, the Company estimated the~~ fair value of ~~the~~these warrants ~~issued in conjunction with the amendment of the private placement under the JH Darbie financing based~~ on ~~assumptions used in the Black-Scholes~~issue date amounted to $1,172,753 as calculated using a Black Scholes valuation model. The key valuation assumptions used consists, in part, of the price of the Company’s Common Stock, a risk-free interest rate based on the yield of a Treasury note and expected volatility of the Company’s Common Stock all as of the measurement date. The Company used the following assumptions to estimate fair value of the warrants as of June 30, 2022:

The issuance of warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, including those attributed to debt issuances, as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 are summarized as follows:

The following table summarizes information about warrants outstanding and exercisable at June 30, ~~2022:~~2023:

The Company had gross deferred tax assets, which primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had gross federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, ~~of approximately $236.1~~ ~~million and $76.3~~ ~~million, respectively,~~ which are available to offset future taxable income, if any. ~~A portion of the gain on the sale of the non-financial asset may give rise to some taxable income, but such income is likely to be offset against the available net operating losses.~~ The Company recorded a valuation allowance in the full amount of its net deferred tax assets since realization of such tax benefits has been determined by our management to be less likely than not. ~~Information~~For information on our deferred tax assets and liabilities, ~~can be found in~~refer to our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K ~~for the year ended December 31, 2021~~ filed with the SEC on April ~~15, 2022.~~14, 203 or 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 19, 2023.

Portions of these carryforwards will expire through 2038,, if not otherwise utilized. The Company’s utilization of net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to an annual limitation. as a result of certain past or future events, such as stock sales or other equity events constituting a “change in ownership” under the provisions of Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitations could result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits before they can be utilized. We have not performed a formal analysis, but we believe our ability to use such net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards will be subject to annual limitations, due to change of ownership control provisions under Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, which would significantly impact our ability to realize these deferred tax assets.

Currently, the Company is leasing the office located at 29397 Agoura Road, Suite 107, Agoura Hills, CA 91301 on a month-to-month basis until such time a new office is identified. The Company believes the office is sufficient for its current operations.

From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings that it currently believes, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

The total purchase price in the PointR Merger of $17,831,427represented the consideration transferred from the Company ~~in the PointR Merger~~ and was calculated based on the number of shares of Common Stock plus the preferred shares outstanding but convertible into Common Stock outstanding at the date of the PointR Merger and included $2,625,000of contingent consideration of shares issuable to PointR shareholders, which ~~can~~could increase to $15million of contingent consideration, upon achievement of certain milestones. ~~The $2,625,000~~ ~~of contingent consideration of shares issuable to PointR shareholders was recorded and associated with~~For more information on the PointR Merger ~~is also classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.~~ Contingent Consideration, refer to our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022.

As such, the Company did not record any change to the valuation during the years ended and as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021, respectively.counter claim.

From time to time, the Company may become involved in certain claims arising in the ordinary course of business. One of the Company’s ex-employees has made a claim against the Company. The Company is evaluating the validity of the claim, as the Company believes that such claim has limited merits and is hopeful to attain a positive outcome for such claim. Since the Company is still evaluating the claim, we are unable to quantify the amount such claim would be settled at, if at all settled.

In July 2023, Fourth Man converted the final balance of approximately $44,000, inclusive of interest and penalty, of their December 2021 Note in exchange for 627,538 shares of our Common Stock.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report” or “Report”) includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are projections in respect of future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, or performance. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Some of these risks are included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” set forth in this Quarterly Report and in other reports that we file with the SEC. The occurrence of any of these risks, or others of which we are currently unaware, may cause our company’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks include, by way of example and without limitation:

Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the SEC, including our Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on July 8, 2019, which includes the audited financial statements for our subsidiary, Oncotelic, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.SEC. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in the future operating results over time except as required by law. We believe that our assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations. No assurances are made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities will not differ materially from our assumptions.

Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. (also d/b/a Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.) (“Oncotelic”), was formed in the State of New York in 1988 as OXiGENE, Inc., was reincorporated in the State of Delaware in 1992, changed its name to Mateon Therapeutics, Inc. in 2016, and then Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. in November 2020. Oncotelic conducts business activities through Oncotelic and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Oncotelic, Inc., a Delaware corporation, PointR Data, Inc. (“PointR”), a Delaware corporation, Pet2DAO Inc., a Delaware corporation and EdgePoint AI, Inc. (“Edgepoint”), a Delaware Corporation for which there are non-controlling interests, (Oncotelic, Oncotelic Inc., PointR and Edgepoint are collectively called the “Company”or “We”). The Company ~~is evaluating~~completed a reverse merger with Oncotelic Inc in April 2019, a merger with PointR in November 2019 and formed a subsidiary Edgepoint in February 2020. For more information on these mergers, refer to our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the further development of its product candidates OXi4503 as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes and CA4P in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma.SEC on April 15, 2021.

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

The Company is ~~also~~currently developing OT-101, ~~for the various epidemics and pandemics, similar to the current corona virus (“~~~~COVID-19~~~~”) pandemic. In this connection, the Company entered into an agreement and supplemental agreement with Golden Mountain Partners (“~~~~GMP~~”) for a total of $1.2 million to render services for the development of OT-101. Such amount was recorded as revenue upon completion of all performance obligations under the agreement. Further, In June 2020, the Company secured $2 million in debt financing from GMP to conduct a clinical trial evaluating OT-101 against COVID-19. The Company discontinued enrollment inthrough its OT-101 clinical trial in patients with COVID-19 in June 2021. In September 2021, the Company secured a further $1.5 million in debt from GMP to complete the study. The trial completed randomization of 32 out of 36 patients planned, on an intent to treat basis. The discontinuance of the trial was due to the continuing rise of more severe variants in Latin America, leading to exhaustion of medical care infrastructure in Latin America.

~~In 2020 and 2021, the Company was developing Artemisinin as a potential therapy for COVID-19. Artemisinin, purified from a plant~~ ~~Artemisia annua~~. It can inhibit TGF-β activity and is able to neutralize COVID-19. The Company initially conducted a study and the test results during an in vitro study at Utah State University showed Artemisinin having an EC50 of 0.45 ug/ml, and a Safety Index of 140. Artemisinin can target multiple viral threats, including COVID-19, by suppressing both viral replication and clinical symptoms that arise from viral infection. Viral replication cannot occur without TGF-β. In a clinical study undertaken in India, clinical consequences related to the TGF-β surge, including ARDS and cytokine storm, were suppressed by targeting TGF-β with Artemisinin. The ARTI-19 trials were conducted in India by Windlas Biotech Limited (~~“Windlas”~~~~), the Company’s business partner in India. Windlas had applied for regulatory approval for its Artemisinin based product, ArtiShield~~^TM~~, but has not been able to obtain regulatory approval for use of ArtiShield~~^TM as a COVID-19 therapy and as such, no significant revenues have been reported by Windlas nor have we accrued any royalties on Artemisinin due from Windlas. We intend to focus future development on Artemisinin against other respiratory viruses with unmet needs.

~~Between October 2021 and January 2022, GMP provided $1.0 million to the Company to fund operations on the way to complete a JV. On March 31, 2022, the Company formalized a~~ joint venture (“JV”) with Dragon Overseas Capital Limited (“Dragon”) and GMP Biotechnology Limited (“GMP Bio”), both affiliates of ~~GMP.~~ Golden Mountain Partners (“GMP”), for various cancers and COVID-19, Artemisinin for COVID-19 and AI technologies for manufacturing, COVID-19 and other AI technologies. The Company is also independently planning to develop OT-101 for certain animal health indications and contemplating using crypto currencies for that platform. The Company has acquired apomorphine for Parkinson’s Disease, erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction. In addition, the Company is evaluating the further development of its product candidates OXi4503 as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes and CA4P in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma.

Between June 2020 and January 2022, the Company entered into various purchase agreements and promissory notes with GMP, cumulatively totaling $4.5 million. $3.5 million of this amount was to fund the COVID-19 trial in Latin America and the rest was to debt to fund our operations till the culmination of the JV.

For more information on the GMP debt financing and the JV, refer to ~~Note~~Notes 5 and 6 of the unaudited Notes to the ~~unaudited~~ Consolidated Financial ~~Statements~~Statements.

In November 2022, the Company formed a Decentralized autonomous organization (“DAO”) entity, Pet2DAO, Inc. (“Pet2DAO”), as a wholly owned subsidiary. A DAO is an emerging form of legal structure, that has no central governing body, and whose members share a common goal to act in the best interest of the entity. Pet2DAO is a DAO technology company, integrating the strong governance of traditional corporations with the innovative DAO architecture. The Company will look to engage stakeholders, to build value through the DAO, while maintaining the rigor of traditional corporations, including governance, compliance, and accountability through a team of veterans in public companies with innovators in AI, blockchain and Web3. Pet2DAO will initially be looking to develop products for ~~this Quarterly Report~~the animal health space. The Company will initially issue regular tokens and non-fungible tokens (“NFT” and cumulatively “Tokens”) of Pet2DAO called PDAO to its employees, shareholders, and key opinion leaders (“KOLs’) and use the Tokens to propose and vote on ~~Form 10Q.~~various animal health related programs. In the future, the Company will evaluate and plan to register these tokens with the SEC to make such Tokens freely tradable at a future point in time.

Since April 2019, we have been operating under significant capital constraints, which has curtailed our ability to achieve meaningful progress in either of the Company’s two clinical programs – one of which is developing OXi4503 as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes and the other of which is developing CA4P in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma. We believe that the merger of Oncotelic and Oncotelic Inc. creates a combined company that has potential to generate shareholder value through a promising pipeline of next generation immunotherapies targeting several significant cancer markets where there is a lack of therapeutic options and lack of an effective immunotherapy protocol.

When COVID-19 emerged in China, the Company and GMP contemplated a collaboration to develop drug candidates for COVID-19.

In consideration for the financial support provided to GMP for the research, pursuant to the terms of the GMP Research Agreement (as amended by the GMP Research Supplement), GMP was entitled to obtain certain exclusive rights to the use of the GMP Agreement Product in the COVID Field on a global basis, and an economic interest in the use of the GMP Agreement Product in the COVID-19 Field including profit sharing to be decided. For more information on the collaborations with GMP, refer to our 20212 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 19, 2023. In March 2022, the Company entered into a JV transaction with Dragon to form GMP Bio, both entities being affiliates of GMP. Dragon and the Company will own in a / ratio, respectively, and its principal activities shall be to research, develop, bring to market and commercialize: (i) the GMP Agreement Products in the COVID-19 Field on a global basis, (ii) the GMP Agreement Products in the OT-101 Oncology Field in the territory set forth above, and if GMP so decides to include (iii) OXi4503 in the territory set forth above; and (iv) CA4P in the territory set forth above.

In June 2020, the Company secured a $2 million in debt financing, evidenced by a one-year secured convertible note from GMP, to conduct a clinical trial evaluating OT-101 against COVID-19. For more information and terms on the Note, refer to our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 19, 2023 GMP has extended the maturity of the GMP Note to December 31, 2023, with no concessions granted to GMP for such extension. Such financing was utilized solely to fund the clinical trial. Similarly, in September 2021, the Company secured a further $1.5 million in debt financing

Between October 2021 and January 2022, the Company entered into two Unsecured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement with GMP, pursuant to which the Company raised a total of $1.0 million. The terms were the same as the June 2020 and September 2021 Notes. Such financings were utilized solely to fund the operations of the Company till the culmination of the JV.

For more information on the various notes with GMP, refer to Note 5 of this Quarterly Report.

OnIn March ~~31,~~ 2022, the Company entered into (i) a joint venture (the “JV”) agreement with Dragon and GMP Bio (and the Company, Dragon and GMP Bio are collectively called the “Parties”) (the “JVA”), (ii) a license agreement for rights to OT-101 (the “US License Agreement”) for the territory within the United States of America (the “US”) with Sapu Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of GMP Bio and (iii) a license agreement for rights to OT-101 for the rest of the world with GMP Bio (the “Ex-US Rights Agreement”, and the US License Agreement and the Ex-US License Agreement are collectively called the “Agreements”).

The Company determined that the arrangement does not meet the accounting definition of a joint venture. Subsequently, we analyze our investment and determined that such investment was not considered a VIE, which would require consolidation. Besides, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the JV. The Company does not control the JV through majority ownership interest or Board participation. As such, the Company followed the guidance in ASC 610-20 regarding the sale of nonfinancial assets to noncustomers when retaining a non-controlling ownership interest in such assets. The Company is deemed to have substantially transferred the actual intellectual property related to OT-101 as the investee can benefit from the risk and rewards of ownership of such intellectual property. This resulted in the derecognition of the carrying amount of our intangible assets for approximately $0.8 million and goodwill for $4.9 million for an aggregate amount of approximately $5.7 million, recorded its initial investment at its fair value for approximately $22.6 million and which resulted in a non-cash gain For more information on non-financial asset disposal of approximately $17 million, which was reported in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company elected the fair value option under subsection of Section 825-10-15 to account for its equity-method investment as the Company believes that the fair value option is most appropriate for a company in the biotechnology industry, The fair value option is more appropriate for companies that are involved in extensive and usually very expensive research and development efforts, which are not appropriately reflected in the market value or reflective of the true value of the development ~~activities~~ of Artemisinin, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10K filed with the ~~company~~SEC on April 14, 2023 or our Amended Annual Report on Form 10K/A filed with the SEC on April 19, 2023.

This JV is a significant milestone in the history of the Company as it permits the Company to monetize and develop the assets it holds, by minimal to no shareholder dilution. This transaction allows us to unburden the Company of the high cost of drug development, which the JV will be responsible for, while the Company will participate in its upside through appreciation in the value of its shares in the JV and up to $50 million on the sale of the RPD voucher following marketing approval of OT-101 for ~~DIPG. Dragon~~DIPG has agreed to invest cash and other assets with a value of approximately ~~$27.6MM~~$27.6 million for 55% ownership of the JV; and Oncotelic ~~has~~had granted the License to the JV for 45% ownership in the JV for a fair value of about $22.6 million. The cash contributions by Dragon will allow the JV to commence the development of OT-101.

For information on the JV, refer to Note 6 – Joint Venture and GMP of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements above.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expense during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time we make such estimates. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from our estimates, judgments and assumptions. We periodically review our estimates in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. The effects of material revisions in estimates are reflected in the financial statements prospectively from the date of the change in estimate. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

We define our critical accounting policies as those accounting principles that require us to make subjective estimates and judgments about matters that are uncertain and are likely to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations, as well as the specific manner in which we apply those principles. We believe the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements that require significant estimates and judgments are the following:

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no impairment losses recognized for long-lived assets.

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

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

We evaluate our ownership, contractual relationships and other interests in entities to determine the nature and extent of the interests, whether such interests are variable interests and whether the entities are VIEs in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidations. These evaluations can be complex and involve Management judgment as well as the use of estimates and assumptions based on available historical information, among other factors. Based on these evaluations, if the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the entity is consolidated into the financial statements.

The Investment in GMP Bio represents the investment into equity securities for which the Company elected the fair value option pursuant to ASC 825-10-15 and subsequent fair value changes in the GMP Bio shares are included in the result from continuing operations. Refer to Note 6 to these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have equity interest in unconsolidated arrangement that is primarily engaged in the business of drug discovery, development, and commercialization, including but not limited to development and commercialization of TGF-beta therapeutics as well as establishing and operating contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) facilities and capabilities. The Company first review the arrangement to determine if it meets the definition of an accounting joint venture pursuant to ASC 323-10-20. In order to meet the definition of a joint venture, the arrangement must have all of the following characteristics, (i) the arrangement is organized within a separate legal entity, (ii) the entity is under the joint control of the venturers, (iii) the venturers must be able to exercise joint control through their equity investments, (iv) the qualitative characteristics of the entity, including its purpose and design must be consistent with the definition of a joint venture

The Company elected the fair value option under the fair value option Subsection of Section 825-10-15 to account for its equity-method investment.

Research and development expense consist of costs we incur for the development of our investigational drugs and, to a lesser extent, for preclinical research activities. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense include clinical trial costs, salaries and benefits of employees, including associated stock-based compensation, payments to clinical investigators, drug manufacturing costs, laboratory supplies and facility costs. Clinical trial costs are a significant component of our research and development expense, and these can be difficult to accurately estimate. Included in clinical trial costs are fees paid to other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on our behalf, such as clinical research organizations, or CROs. We estimate clinical trial expense based on the services performed pursuant to contracts with research institutions such as CROs and the actual clinical investigators. These estimates are based on actual time and expenses incurred by the CRO and the clinical investigators. Also included in clinical trial expense are costs based on the level of patient enrollment into the clinical trial and the actual services performed under the related clinical trial agreement. Changes in clinical trial assumptions, such as the length of time estimated to enroll all patients, rate of screening failures, patient drop-out rates, number and nature of adverse event reports and the total number of patients enrolled can impact the average and expected cost per patient and the overall cost of the clinical trial. Based on patient enrollment reports and services provided, we may periodically adjust estimates for the clinical trial costs. If we do not identify costs that we have begun to incur or if we underestimate or overestimate the level of services performed, the length of time for these services or the costs of these services, our actual expenses could differ from our estimates.

We record the estimated fair value of all share-based payments issued to employees and other service providers. Our share-based payments consist primarily of stock options. The valuation of stock options is an inherently subjective process, since market values are not available for any stock options in our equity securities. Market values are also not available on long-term, non-transferable stock options in other equity securities. With no market values on options to trade in our common stock and no comparable market values on any long-term non-transferable stock options, the process of valuing our stock options is even more uncertain and subjective. Accordingly, we use a Black-Scholes option pricing model to derive an estimated fair value of the stock options which we issue. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires certain input assumptions, including the expected term of the options and the expected volatility of our common stock. Changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on the estimated fair value that we record for share-based payments that we issue. We determine the term of the options based on the simplified method, which averages the vesting period and the contractual life of the stock option. We determine the expected volatility based on the historical volatility of our common stock over a period commensurate with the option’s expected term. The Black-Scholes option pricing model also requires assumptions for risk-free interest rates and the expected dividend yield of our common stock, but we feel that these values are more objective and note that changes in these values do not have a significant impact on the estimated value of the options when compared to the volatility and term assumptions.

We are also required to estimate the level of award forfeitures expected to occur and record compensation expense only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Accordingly, we perform a historical analysis of option awards that are forfeited prior to vesting, and record total stock option expense that reflects this estimated forfeiture rate.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the three Months Ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 to the three Months Ended June, ~~2021~~2022

A comparison of the Company’s operating results for the three months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, respectively, is as follows.

We recorded a net loss of approximately $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to net income of approximately $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2022, compared to a~~2022. The difference in net ~~loss~~income (loss), of approximately ~~$3.6~~$22.8 million, ~~for~~between the three months ended June 30, ~~2021. The higher gain of approximately $19.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022~~2023 as compared to the same period of ~~2021~~2022 was primarily due to gain on derecognition of non-financial asset of approximately $17 million, reduced ~~stock-based compensation~~ by higher impairment to goodwill of $6.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023;lower change in value of derivatives on debt of approximately $2$0.4 million, ~~recorded in~~for the three months ended June 30, 2022 ~~compared to the same period of 2021,~~and offset by lower ~~compensation expenses~~interest of approximately $1$0.8 million, ~~reimbursement of expenses by a related party of approximately $0.25 million and higher interest expense of $0.7 million.~~for the three months ended June 30, 2023.,

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses decreased by approximately ~~$0.8~~$0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 compared to the same period in ~~2021,~~2022, primarily due to lower personnel expenses and other operational expenses relate to OT-101 being borne by the ~~JV.~~JV and reversal of over accrual of certain R&D expenses.

As previously disclosed, and as a result of our JV, we expect our R&D expense to decrease for the remainder of the year ~~2022,~~2023, specifically for activities related to OT-101, including the initiation of new clinical trials. Any other development expenses will be subject to our continuing ability to secure sufficient funding to continue planned operations.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses ~~decreased~~increased by approximately ~~$2.7~~$0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, primarily due to ~~stock compensation expense of approximately $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $25 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2022,~~higher legal and ~~lower compensation expenses of approximately $0.3 million which was borne by the JV .~~professional expenses.

As previously disclosed and as a result of our JV, we expect our G&A activities to ~~reduce, and therefore believe that G&A expenses will decrease~~remain steady or marginally increase for the remainder of ~~2022.~~2023. Any other G&A expenses will be subject to our continuing ability to secure sufficient funding to continue planned operations.

We recorded a goodwill impairment of approximately $6.1 million on the approximately $12 million goodwill, which we recorded upon our acquisition of PointR, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. No similar impairment was recorded for the same period of 2022.

During the second quarter of 2023, we observed a significant decline of our stock price, the market capitalization of our Company, and the general economic conditions, which adversely impacted the majority of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. These were indicative of a potential impairment of our goodwill. While we evaluated and concluded that the AI technologies related to the PointR acquisition are not adversely impacted as the Company continues to develop other AI technologies, the significant reduction of our market capitalization required us to record an impairment on the goodwill to the extent of the difference between the net assets of the Company over the fair value, solely based on the market capitalization.

The Company was reimbursed approximately $0.25 million, by Autotelic Inc. a related party, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 on behalf of our JV. No similar expenses were reimbursed during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

We recorded interest expense, including amortization of debt costs, of approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily in connection with debt raised from convertible notes and the JH Darbie Financing, November/December 2021 Financing and May/June 2022 financing as compared to $0.4 million for the same period of 2021, in connection with debt raised from convertible notes and JH Darbie during 2021. Interest expense was lower for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period of 2022 due to lower the adoption of ASU 2020-06 effective from January 1, 2023 and significantly reduced amortization beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) interest components. For more information on debt raised from convertible notes and the JH Darbie Financing, see Note 5 and Note 67 of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a gain of approximately $16.9 million on the sale of our non-financial asset upon the transfer of OT-101 as our capital contribution for the JV. We adopted the fair value measurements under the equity method and the gain was net of the fair value of the asset of approximately $22.6 million as reduced by the removal of the value of the intangibles of approximately $0.8 million for OT-101 and the value of the goodwill of $4.8 million recorded at the time of the 2019 Merger with Oncotelic Inc. No similar gain has been recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

During the three months ended June, ~~2022,~~2023, we recorded approximately ~~$0.1~~$0.3 million change in value upon conversion of certain debt owed ~~to Peak One and TFK, to liabilities as a derivative, as well as new debt converting to liabilities~~ on the convertible promissory notes issued to our CEO and a bridge investor (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”). The Company recorded ~~$0.6~~approximately $0.1 million change during the same period in 2021. The Convertible Notes became convertible 180 days after issuance, and as such the CEO and the bridge investor had the ability to convert that debt into equity at a variable conversion price, giving rise to a derivative feature within the debt instrument resulting in the recording of a derivative liability and change in value of the derivative. For more information on value of derivatives, refer to the Note 25 of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 to the Six Months Ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022

A comparison of the Company’s operating results for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, respectively, is as follows.

We recorded a net loss of approximately $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to a net income of approximately $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022, compared to a~~2022. The difference in net ~~loss~~income (loss), of approximately ~~$6.7~~$18.3 million, for the six months ended June, ~~30, 2021. The higher income of approximately $17.6 million for the six months ended June, 2022~~2023 as compared to the same period of ~~2021,~~2022, was primarily due to ~~due to~~recording a gain on the sale of non-financial asset of approximately $17 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, lower operating expense of approximately ~~$1.2~~$4.1 million, reduced by higher impairment losses of approximately $6.1 million, lower reimbursement of expenses by a related party of approximately $0.2 million, lower interest cost of approximately $0.7 million, higher change in value of derivatives on debt of approximately $0.3 million and lower loss on conversion of debt of approximately ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million ~~and higher interest expense of $0.4 million.~~

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses decreased by approximately ~~$1.8~~$0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 compared to the same period in ~~2021~~2022, primarily due to reduced compensation ~~cost~~and operational costs of ~~$0.7~~approximately $0.6 million and reduced clinical trial cost of ~~$1.3~~$0.1 million. As a result of our JV with Dragon and GMP Bio, the JV absorbed most of the compensation costs as well as some of the operational costs.

As a result of our JV, we expect our R&D expense to decrease for the remainder of the year ~~2022,~~2023, specifically for activities related to OT-101, including the initiation of new clinical trials. Any other development expenses will be subject to our continuing ability to secure sufficient funding to continue planned operations.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses ~~increased~~decreased by approximately ~~$0.6~~$3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, primarily due to the lower stock based compensation ~~and legal~~of approximately $2.9 million, lower compensation costs of approximately ~~$0.2~~$0.6 million, offset by ~~higher stock-based compensation expense~~lower legal and professional and operational costs of approximately ~~$ 0.8~~$0.1 million.

As a result of our JV, we expect our G&A activities to ~~reduce, and therefore believe that G&A expenses will decrease~~remain steady or marginally increase for the remainder of ~~2022.~~2023. Any other G&A expenses will be subject to our continuing ability to secure sufficient funding to continue planned operations.

We recorded a goodwill impairment of approximately $6.1 million on the approximately $12 million goodwill, which we recorded upon our acquisition of PointR, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. No similar impairment was recorded for the same period of 2022.

We recorded interest expense, including amortization of debt costs, of approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily in connection with debt raised from convertible notes, JH Darbie Financing, November/December 2021 Financing and May/June 2022 ~~Financing,~~Financing. Interest expense was lower for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to ~~approximately $1.0 million for~~ the same period of ~~2021, in connection with~~2022 due to lower the adoption of ASU 2020-06 effective from January 1, 2023 and significantly reduced amortization beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) interest components. For more information on debt raised from convertible notes ~~during 2019~~ and the JH Darbie ~~Financing.~~Financing, see Note 5 and Note 7 of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report.

The Company was reimbursed approximately $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to approximately $0.25 million, by Autotelic Inc. a related party, ~~during the six months ended June 30, 2022~~ on behalf of our JV.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a gain of approximately $16.9 million on the sale of our non-financial asset upon the transfer of OT-101 as our capital contribution for the JV. We adopted the fair value measurements under the equity method and the gain was net of the fair value of the asset of approximately $22.6 million as reduced by the removal of the value of the intangibles of approximately $0.8 million for OT-101 and the value of the goodwill of $4.9 million recorded at the time of the 2019 Merger with Oncotelic Inc. No similar gain has been recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

During the six months ended June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we recorded approximately ~~$68 thousand~~$0.3 million change in value upon conversion of the debt to liabilities as a derivative as well as new debt converting to liabilities on the Convertible ~~Notes. The Company recorded~~Notes as compared to approximately ~~$93~~$68 thousand change ~~in value~~ during the same period ~~in 2021.~~of 2022. The Convertible Notes became convertible 180 days after issuance, and as such Peak One, TFK, the CEO and the bridge investor had the ability to convert that debt into equity at: (i) the variable conversion price of 65% of the Company’s lowest traded price after the first 180 days, or (ii) at the lower of $0.10 per share or 55% of the Company’s traded stock price under certain circumstances. This gave rise to a derivative feature within the debt instrument which resulted in the recording of a derivative liability and change in value of the derivative.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a loss of $0.25 million on conversion of ~~debt as compared to a loss of $27 thousand~~debt. related to the difference in fair value to the price at which the debt was converted. No similar expense was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Company has incurred net accumulated losses of approximately ~~$19.9~~$32.9 million, negative working capital of over ~~$15~~$17.8 million and negative cash flow from operations of approximately ~~$1.2~~$0.7 million at June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. Management expects to incur significantly lower costs losses in the foreseeable future and recognizes the need to raise capital to remain viable. The Company’s limited capital resources, history of recurring losses and uncertainties as to whether the Company’s operations will become profitable raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained in this report do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The principal source of the Company’s working capital deficit to date has been the issuance of convertible notes, a substantial part of which has been provided by officers and certain insiders, and sale of equity under the EPA with Peak One. The Company will need to raise additional capital in order to fund its operations and continue development of product candidates. The Company is evaluating the options to further the development of the Company’s product candidates, AL-101, Artemisinin for COVID-19, developing AI technologies to support the COVID-19 therapies; in addition to evaluating the development pathway of its product candidates; OXi4503 and/or CA4P.

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

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

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately ~~$1.2~~$0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This was due to the net ~~income~~loss of approximately ~~$10.9~~$7.4 million, and primarily offset by ~~non-cash gain on the sale~~approximately $6.1 million of ~~its non-financial asset~~goodwill impairment, approximately $0.3 million of change in fair value of derivative, approximately ~~$17~~$0.3 million ~~non-cash~~due to amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs of $1.1 million, non-cash stock compensation costs of $0.3 million, fair value of the warrants issued during the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $2.9 million, non-cash loss on debt conversion of approximately $0.5 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately ~~$0.2~~$0.1 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This was due to the net loss of approximately $6.7 million, primarily offset by non-cash amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs of $0.7 million, non-cash stock compensation costs on fair value of the warrants issued during the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $2.1 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $1.3 million.

For the six months ended June 30,2023, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.6 million, due to a receipt of cash from short term loan from a related party of approximately $0.7 million offset by repayments of debt of approximately $50 thousand to one JH Darbie Financing note holder.

For the six months ended June 30,2022, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.0 million, due to a receipt of cash from sale of shares under the EPA of approximately $0.1 million, a short-term convertible loan GMP of $0.5 million, approximately $1.0 million under the March 2022, May 2022 and June 2022 notes, offset by repayments of debt of approximately $0.5 million to some note holders and approximately $0.1 million to short term loan holders and one PPM note holder.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $2.5 million, due to a receipt of cash from the JH Darbie Financing of $1.6 million, sale of equity of $0.1 million, proceeds of a convertible note of $0.3 million and a short-term loans from certain bridge investors of $0.8 million, partially offset by repayments of debt of approximately $0.2 million.

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.

Our current drug development programs are based on a series of compounds called combretastatins, which we have exclusively licensed from Arizona State University, or ASU. If our current drug candidates are approved, we will be required to pay low to mid-single-digit royalties on future net sales of products associated with the ASU patent rights until these patent rights expire.

We also have an exclusive license from Bristol-Myers Squibb, or BMS, for certain patent rights to particular combretastatins, including CA4P. If CA4P is approved, we will be required to pay low-single-digit royalties on future net sales of products associated with the BMS patent rights until these patent rights expire.

Our cash is maintained in U.S. dollar accounts. We have adopted a policy for the cash that we hold, and also for any cash equivalents and investments that we may hold, the primary objective of which is to preserve principal, while also maintaining liquidity to meet our operating needs and maximize yields to the extent possible. Although our investments can be subject to credit risk, we follow procedures to limit the amount of credit exposure in any single issue, issuer or type of investment. Our investments are also subject to interest rate risk and would be likely to decrease in value if market interest rates increase. However, due to the generally conservative nature of our investments and relatively short duration, we believe that interest rate risk is mitigated.

Although we may from time-to-time manufacture drugs and conduct preclinical or clinical trials outside of the United States, we believe our exposure to foreign currency risk to be immaterial.

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

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, ~~2022~~2023 based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, ~~2022~~2023 was not effective as a result of certain material weaknesses.

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

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

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

During the six months ended June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we continued to execute upon our planned remediation actions which are all intended to strengthen our overall control environment. While we have made progress in our planned remediation efforts and we expect the Company to complete its planned execution of internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, however, our ability to do so would greatly depend on our ability to obtain financial and other resources to complete the remediation.

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

~~In addition to the risk factor described below, for information about the risks and uncertainties related to our business, please~~Please see the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 filed on April ~~15, 2022.~~14, 2023 or the Amended Annual Report on Form 10K/A filed on April 19, 2023 with the SEC. The risks described below and in our Form 10-K or Form 10K/A are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

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

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