EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 AND 2019 (Unaudited)


Note 1: Business Activity


Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. (the “Company,” “We,” or “Our”) has developed a technology platform, the Adapted Traits Platform (“ATP”), to identify commercially valuable genes that control important traits in animals and plants. We are using the ATP to identify genes to improve crop plant traits such as yield, sugar content, biomass, drought tolerance, and pest/disease resistance. Our platform identifies key genes that have changed successfully to impart new or improved traits.


The Company performs its research on behalf of governmental organizations, non-profit foundations, and commercial entities and receives revenue from grants and commercial research contracts. These grants/contracts contain fixed-fee arrangements and may also have licensing provisions upon effective commercialization of research results. Successful commercialization may take many years to produce license royalty payments. Ownership of intellectual property developed in research projects varies from the Company retaining no rights to intellectual property, to joint ownership, to the Company retaining all rights.


During 2014, the Company purchased 75.16% of the outstanding stock of Fona, Inc., (“Fona”) a public shell company. Since Fona was a public shell company which doesdid not constitute a business and the purchase was done in contemplation of a reverse merger, the Company accounted for the payment as a distribution to Fona Inc. shareholders. The Company also entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”), which was consummated on October 19, 2015. As a result of the Merger, Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Fona. For accounting purposes, the merger was treated as a reverse acquisition with Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. as the acquirer and Fona as the acquired party. Subsequent to the Merger, Fona Inc. was renamed Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. and our subsidiary was renamed from Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. to EG Crop Science, Inc.


On May 9, 2016, we formed ICAM Therapeutics, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. We have not incurred any transactions in this company nor have we established any business plan for the future.


Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Principals of Consolidation: These condensed and consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.subsidiary. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.


Use of Estimates: The preparation of condensed and consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed and consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.


Cash: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash.


Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are carried at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts, if an allowance is deemed necessary. On a periodic basis the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and determines the requirement for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions. A receivable is written off when it is determined that all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company recorded no allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. The Company does not charge interest on past-due receivables.


Trading SecuritiesInvestments: The Company’s short-term investments are comprised of equity securities, treasury bonds and bank certificates of deposit, all of which are classified as trading securities and are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices of the securities at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016.2019. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securitiesinvestments are included in net earnings. For purposepurposes of determining realized gains and losses, the cost of securities sold is based on specific identification.

EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)


Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over three- to seven-year estimated useful lives of software, furniture and fixtures and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized.

EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2020 AND 2019 (Unaudited)



Long-Lived Assets: The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. An impairment loss is measured and recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. No asset impairment was recorded during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016.2019.


Intangible Assets: Intangible assets include acquired research in progress and patents on the Company’s core technology for gene identification. Patents are amortized over their expected useful life of 20 years using the straight-line method. Acquired research in progress is an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the development is complete at which time the useful life of the asset will be assigned. Costs incurred to renew intangible assets are expensed in the period incurred, while costs incurred to extend the lives of patents are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the asset. Intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any intangible assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. No impairment was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Realization of this asset is dependent upon the successful completion of the Company’s research and development efforts.


Revenue RecognitionRecognition:: In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to revenue recognition, which outlines a comprehensive revenue recognition model and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The new guidance requires a company to recognize revenue as control of goods or services transfers to a customer at an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. It defines a five-step approach for recognizing revenue, which may require a company to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. The Company recognizesadopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective method and it did not have a material impact on the condensed and consolidated financial statements.


Grant revenue, where persuasive evidencewhich is not within the scope of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable,Topic 606, consists of funding under cost reimbursement programs primarily from federal and collectability is reasonably assured. Service revenuesnon-profit foundation sources for qualified research and development activities performed by us, and as such, are generally recognized as fees for service contracts, including payments for Company personnelnot based on a per-day basisestimates that are susceptible to change. Such amounts are invoiced and reimbursement for subcontractors and supplies on a cost-incurred basis. Under our milestone-based contracts, consideration associated with at-risk substantive performance milestones is recognizedrecorded as revenue upon the achievement of the related milestone, as defined in the respective contracts. All revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was from sources inside the United States, was from contractual research projects and grants, and there was no licensing revenue. The Company recorded no other revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.


In our Master Services Agreement with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, we grant them a royalty-free license for use of intellectual property developed in low-income economies and lower-middle-income economies according to the World Bank classification and expressly excludes all of North America and Europe. The Company retains all rights to the use of intellectual property outside of these regions.grant-funded activities are performed.


Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Management regularly assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent management believes that it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established. When a valuation allowance is established, increased or decreased, an income tax charge or benefit is included in the condensed and consolidated financial statements and net deferred tax assets are adjusted accordingly. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016,2019, a full valuation allowance has been established on the net deferred tax asset.


Under the Income Tax topic of the ASC, in order to recognize an uncertain tax benefit, the taxpayer must be more likely than not of sustaining the position, and the measurement of the benefit is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon resolution of the benefit. The Company has no accruals for uncertain tax benefits.


Stock-Based Compensation: The Company accounts for stock option awards in accordance with ASC 718. The estimated grant-date fair value of stock-based awards is expensed over the requisite service period, which is typically equivalent to the vesting term of the award.


The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services received follows the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50.718. Accordingly, the measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

Research and Development: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In instances where we enter into agreements with third parties for research and development activities, we may prepay for services at the initiation of the contract. We record the prepayment as a prepaid asset and amortize the asset into research and development expense over the period of time the contracted research and development services are performed.


Net Loss Per Common Share: Basic net (loss) income per common share excludes any dilutive effects of equity instruments.  We compute basic net (loss) income per common share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  We compute diluted net (loss) income per common share using the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, common stock equivalents including 679,923 shares of convertible preferred stock, options for 1,081,667 shares of common stock and warrants for 110,856 shares of common stock were excluded because their effect was anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, common stock equivalents including 577,063 shares of convertible preferred stock, options for 566,667 shares of common stock and warrants for 110,884 shares of common stock were excluded because their effect was anti-dilutive.


Subsequent Events: The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date of this filing.  On April 17, 2020, the Company received $71,268 in funding from the SBA under their Paycheck Protection Program and we expect that most, if not all of this funding will be forgiven.  


Note 3: New Accounting Standards


Recently Adopted Accounting Standards


In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to evaluate, in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the condensed and consolidated financial statements.


In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Related to the Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which will require entities to present deferred tax assets (DTAs) and deferred tax liabilities (DTLs) as non-current in a classified balance sheet. The ASU simplifies the current guidance (ASC 740-10-45-4), which requires entities to separately present DTAs and DTLs as current and non-current in a classified balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Adoption has not had a material impact on the condensed and consolidated financial statements.


In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)." This standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, although early adoption is permitted. We have adopted this standard and it did not have a material impact on the condensed and consolidated financial statements.


Recently Issued Accounting Standards


In May 2014, and further amended in August 2015, March 2016 and April 2016, ASUs No. 2014-09, No. 2015-14, No. 2016-08, and No. 2016-10 were issued related to revenue from contracts with customers which supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance. In August 2015, the FASB approved a one year delay of the effective date to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, while permitting companies to voluntarily adopt the new standard as of the original effective date. The core principle of the comprehensive new guidance is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The guidance defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The new standard permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The Company will apply the retrospective method and expects incremental disclosures.

September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)


In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. We anticipate that there will be no impact as the Company only has month-to-month leases.


In JanuaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This ASU is intended” which requires entities to improve the recognition and measurementestimate all expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments. Among other things, this ASU requires certain equity investmentsinstruments, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The updated guidance also expands the disclosure requirements to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating expected credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument from the date of initial recognition of that instrument. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and2020, including interim periods therein. The Company is currently assessingwithin that reporting period and did not have an impact on the impact this guidance will have on itsCompany’s condensed and consolidated financial statements.


Note 4: Fair Value Measurements


The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820, in measuring fair value and in disclosing fair value measurements at the measurement date. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount 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. Fair value measurements also reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model.


ASC 820 provides three levels of the fair value hierarchy as described below:


Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 2 Inputs – Observable market-based inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.


When determining the fair value measurements for assets or liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at and/or marked to fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets. When identical assets are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to market observable data for similar assets.

For the Company’s Level 1 measures, which represent common stock in publicly traded companies, treasury bonds or bank certificates of deposit, fair value is based on the last closing trade occurring on, or closest to, the respective period end date. The carrying value of financial instruments, including cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates their fair value at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20162019 due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company expects to recognize $2,603$2,602 of amortization expense related to its patents during each of the next five years and the remaining $11,836$5,335 thereafter. Amortization expense for the patents during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 20162019 was $1,951$651 and $1,951,$650, respectively.


In its merger completed on October 19, 2015, the Company acquired research in progress. The value of the acquired research in progress was based upon several factors including, evaluation of other intangible assets, the purchase price, estimated future cash flows, and the amounts expended on the research to date. Acquired research in progress is an indefinite lived intangible asset until the development phase is complete, at which time a useful life of the asset will be determined. The research in progress was the identification and validation of genes to provide pest and disease resistance to soybean plants performed by EG I, LLC.I. The research had been in process since November 2010 and the Company expects to complete the research and place this asset in service in late 2018.the second half of 2020. Additional costs to complete the research are expected to be approximately $250,424,$102,000, which will be expensed as incurred. The timing and cost of additional research may vary from these estimates as the success of the research is subject to many factors outside of the Company’s control.


We previously expected to complete the soybean research in the second quarter of 2020.  Subsequent to March 31, 2020, our academic labs have informed us that they are not starting any new projects due to the Covid-19 pandemic and we now believe that the project will be delayed into the second half of 2020.  If this research is not completed within a reasonable timeframe or within estimated costs, future licensing revenue, the valuation of our research in progress and the financial condition of the Company could be significantly impacted.

Note 8: Stock-Based Compensation


The Company grants stock-based instruments under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) for which 1,400,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock has been reserved. The Plan allows for the issuance of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options with a maximum contractual term of 10 years. Shares and options that are cancelled reload inare available for reissuance under the Plan for future issuance.Plan. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016,2019, the Company recorded compensation costs for incentive stock options of $77,253$54,930 and $69,903,$17,278, respectively. Stock options are generally issued with an exercise price at or above the estimated per-share value of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company granted no options during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 380,000 options at exercises prices of $3.00 and $3.50 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2019.


Management has valued the options at their date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As of the issuance of the outstanding options, there was not a public market for the Company’s shares. Accordingly, the Company utilized the value obtained in equity transactions with unrelated parties to estimate the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Volatility of the underlying common shares was determined based on the historical volatility for similar companies that are actively traded in the public markets for a term consistent with the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate used in the calculations is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the options on the date of the grant. Due to the lack of sufficient historical activity, the expected life of the options was estimated using the formula set forth in Securities and Exchange Commission SAB 107.

Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies


Officer Indemnification: Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Company’s officers, employees, and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Company expects any risk of loss to be remote. The Company also has an insurance policy for its directors and officers to insure them against liabilities arising from their performance in their positions with the Company.


Lease Commitments: The Company leases its operating facility and pays its rent in monthly installments. The lease was renewed in June 2016 for a period of twelve months and monthly rentals for the period of July 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017December 31, 2019 are $2,378 per month which continues on a month-to-month basis. There is no minimum lease commitment as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2020. Renewals after June 30, 2017 are by mutual agreement. The Company’s rent expense for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 20162019 was $21,401$7,134 and $20,884,$7,134, respectively.


Royalty: Effective March 1, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement for Contract Services with SmithBucklin Corporation (the “Contractor”) on behalf of the United Soybean Board. The contract includes the payment of certain royalties, as defined in the Agreement.


The Company is obligated to pay royalties to the United Soybean Board of 10% of the sale of products derived from the soybean genes that were the subject of the research performed by the Contractor or from royalties received by the Company from the sale of products by a third party not to exceed 150% of the total amount paid to the Contractor under this Agreement. The Company has recognized to date grant revenue from the contract of $262,400 as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, thus limiting any future royalties as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 to a total of $393,600. The Company has not accrued or paid any royalties under the terms of the Agreement as of and during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 20162019 because it has not received any revenue from the sale of products to date.

Steve B. Warnecke: Mr. Warnecke is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and owns, directly or indirectly, 1,932,088 shares or 29.9% of the Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2017.


VetDC, Inc.: VetDC, Inc., a Delaware C corporation, is focused on developing pet therapeutic products and is related to the Company through common ownership and management. During the year ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016, the Company sold all of its remaining shares of VetDC, Inc.2020.  


Note 11: Concentrations


Revenue and Account Receivable Concentrations: The Company is dependent on a relatively few sources of revenue from grants and commercial research contracts. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had one customer that represented all gross service revenue. As of December 31, 2016, 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from one customer. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the maximum exposure to credit losses for this customer was $0 and $9,289, respectively. Loss of this customer without acquisition of additional customers could significantly impact the Company’s revenue.


Considerations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash balances at high-credit, quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company routinely monitors the credit quality of its customers.


Note 12: Liquidity and Going Concern


Sources of funding to meet prospective cash requirements include the Company’s existing cash balances and investments. As of March 31, 2020 we had $10,653 in our bank accounts and $29,694 of trading securities. On April 17, 2020, the Company received $71,268 in funding from the SBA under their Paycheck Protection Program and we expect that most, if not all of this funding will be forgiven.  This will not be enough to pay for our expenses for the year ending December 31, 2020 without any additional revenue from grants or licensing revenue or additional capital infusions. We are marketing our banana genes in 2020 which may lead to revenue but may not be able to market our soybean genes until the research is finished. We have flexibility to reduce operating costs and also to delay research projects. We will require additional capital to complete our projects. These factors create substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying condensed and consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Company Overview


Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. (the(the "registrant" or "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the state of Minnesota in November 1990 under the name Fonahome Corporation. On March 24, 2009, the ArticlesCompany reincorporated in the state of Merger of Fonahome Corporation, a Minnesota Corporation, intoNevada and merged with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fona, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, were filedadopting the surviving company’s name, Fona, Inc. The capital structure includes total authorized capital stock of 800,000,000 shares, of which 780,000,000 are common stock and 20,000,000 are blank check preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series with such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the Nevada Secretaryresolutions adopted by the Corporation’s Board providing for the issuance of State. such preferred stock or series thereof.


On SeptemberJune 6, 2014, Evolutionary Genomics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EG”), EG I, LLC (“EG I”) andmerged with Fona, Inc., treated as a Nevada corporation (“Fona”), Fona Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sub”) and Fona Merger Sub, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Sub LLC”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger as amended by the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 2, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, on October 19, 2015 Sub mergedreverse acquisition with EG and Sub LLC merged with EG I, with each EG and EG I surviving as wholly owned subsidiaries of Fona. On October 19, 2015, Fona changed its name to Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. as the acquirer and Fona as the acquired party. Subsequent to the Merger, Fona, Inc. was renamed Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. and our subsidiary was renamed from Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. to EG Crop Science, Inc. On May 9, 2016, we formed ICAM Therapeutics, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. We have not incurred any transactions in this company nor have we established any business plan for the future.


The Company maintains headquarters at the office of its Chief Executive Officer. The Company maintains a website at www.evolgen.com. The Company is not required to deliver an annual report to security holders and at this time does not anticipate the distribution of such a report. The Company will file reports with the SEC.


On August 14, 2000, the Company was issued patent number 6274319, titled “Methods to identify evolutionarily significant changes in polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences in domestic plants and animals”. On SeptemberJune 1, 2004, the Company was issued patent number 6743580, titled “Methods for producing transgenic plants containing evolutionarily significant polynucleotides”. These patents are for the core Adapted Traits Platform that we use for the discovery of genes in humans, animals and commercial crops. The Company has applied the Adapted Traits Platform in research projects including identifying genes believed to be responsible for increases in yield in corn, increases in yield in rice, salt tolerance and sugar content in tomatoes and pest/disease resistance in soybeans and multiple other crops.


In the past century, agriculture has been characterized by enhanced productivity, the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, selective breeding, mechanization, water contamination, and farm subsidies. Proponents of organic farming such as Sir Albert Howard argued in the early 20th century that the overuse of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers damages the long-term fertility of the soil. While this feeling lay dormant for decades, as environmental awareness has increased in the 21st century there has been a movement towards sustainable agriculture by some farmers, consumers, and policymakers.


Advances in genetic research and modification of crop species hashave led to increased yield, drought tolerance and disease/pest resistance. These advances have also led to an increased concentration within the providers of seed to the industry. The top seed companies control much of the implementation of new seed varieties through patents and licensing agreements. Genetic traits providers, like Evolutionary Genomics, identify and develop genes that impact traits of interest to the industry and market those genes to these seed companies.


Evolutionary Genomics’ primary source of revenue to date has been contract services revenue for research performed by Evolutionary Genomics on behalf of other commercial entities and grant income received from governmental agencies, industry associations and grant making foundations for research performed. Ownership of the intellectual property developed can vary from Evolutionary Genomics retaining all intellectual property rights to retaining none of the developed intellectual property for the crop that is the subject of the project. In addition to the revenue resulting from contract services and grants, Evolutionary Genomics has entered into licensing agreements for the commercial use of intellectual property that we have developed. Licensing revenue can be lump sum payments, milestone payments upon achievement of defined goals and/or percentages of revenue for products sold by licensee. These payments are often many years after completion of gene identification project as licensees engage in significant additional testing including field trials prior to integration into licensee commercial germplasm lines. There can be no guarantee that these licensing agreements will result in any additional revenue for Evolutionary Genomics as further development of licensed intellectual property is mostly controlled by the licensee.

Evolutionary Genomics has also filed other international patents on EG261 and engaged in discussions with seed companies regarding further validation of the effectiveness of EG261. Based on information received in those discussions, Evolutionary Genomics has engaged in a whole plant validation trial of EG261, EG19 (another soybean pest resistance gene) and a synthetic gene with the University of Missouri.grant funds.  The Company has also discovered additional candidate genes that may impact pathogen resistance in multiple crops and genes that may impact fiber length in cotton. There can be no assurance that any of these genes will be proven effective in validation testing or lead to licensing agreements orrecognized all revenue andfrom this strategy will require Evolutionary Genomics to incur significant research costs prior to any confirmation of commercial viability.grant.


Evolutionary Genomics intends to continue to pursue grant funding from governmental agencies, industry associations and grant making foundations but thesefoundations. These sources of funding are often subject to limitations in available funds, funding priorities in areas other than the our area of focus, political uncertainties, long approval processes and competition with other research proposals. If such funding is not available, Evolutionary Genomics may incur the costs of these projects with the prospect of revenue uncertain and likely many years in the future.


The single most valuable step in the process of crop improvement is the identification of the key genes among the 30,000 in the genome that has the desired impact. Evolutionary Genomics’ soybean pest resistance project is an illustration of the evolution of a project from concept through marketing to seed companies. The project has yielded identified genes for pest resistance in soybeans and, in hairy root assays on one of these genes, EG261, at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, proved that EG261 impacted resistance. Evolutionary Genomics has had discussions with seed companies to commercialize the genes and intends to continue those discussions after completion of validation testing with two generation, whole plant validation results. The Company has extended this pest resistance research to other crops including beans, tomatoes, cotton and maize in various stages or progress.


On April 29, 2014, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued patent 8,710,300 titled EXPRESSION OF DIRIGENT GENE EG261 AND ITS ORTHOLOGS AND PARALOGS ENHANCES PATHOGEN RESISTANCE IN PLANTS. On December 5, 2017, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued patent 9,834,783 which extended the previous patent to include additional variations of the gene. During 2017, the Company was issued similar patents in Canada, Brazil and China and has additional patents pending in Argentina and India. On January 16, 2020, the Company filed a patent application on its second soybean pest/disease resistance gene, EG19 and has included that gene in its ongoing two generation, whole plant validation research with the University of Missouri and with the Wisconsin Crop Innovation Center. Evolutionary Genomics engaged in discussions with seed companies regarding further validation of the effectiveness of EG261. Based on information received in those discussions, Evolutionary Genomics has engaged in a whole plant validation trial of EG261 and EG19 at the University of Missouri and the Wisconsin Crop Innovation Center.


We previously expected to complete the soybean research in the second quarter of 2020.  Subsequent to March 31, 2020, our academic labs have informed us that they are not starting any new projects due to the Covid-19 pandemic and we now believe that the project will be delayed into the second half of 2020.  If this research is not completed within a reasonable timeframe or within estimated costs, future licensing revenue, the valuation of our research in progress and the financial condition of the Company could be significantly impacted. The full impact that COVID-19 will have on our business will depend on a number of factors such as the duration and extent of COVID-19, the effect of governmental actions, responses of our third-party research partners, and general economic activity, as described in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q.


As a small company restricted by our limited resources, we cannot afford to generate vast numbers of events. Moderate success is important enough to indicate that further optimization can lead to significantly improved results. We must prove that there is enough evidence to warrant additional trials by companies with vastly more resources to build on our success but the single most valuable step in this process is the identification of the gene that has the desired impact and we have identified two of these genes, EG261 and EG19.


With transgenic change to plants, we use multiple tools to try to land the gene in the right spot in the genome but it is still an imperfect artform. We need to generate enough events in which the gene lands in the right place and is then inherited into the next generation with the right expression level. A low percentage of all attempts result in a testable event and, even then, you cannot be sure that the gene falls into the perfect spot or is expressed at the optimal level. We must generate enough events so that we have a few that genuinely show the impact of the gene. False negatives are the rule and we cannot be discouraged by them. A small number of successes can greatly outweigh a large number of false negatives.


Over the last three years, Dr. Zhang’s lab at the University of Missouri has been attempting to create transgenic events with eleven constructs of EG261 and EG19 along with controls which are tested to confirm that the gene landed in the genome and was inherited into the next generation. Heritable events are then grown to seed and the seeds are tested to see if they are homozygous and are tested to see how many copies of the gene are inherited. The seeds from these homozygous plants are the T2 generation that is tested for resistance impact. Promising T2 lines are grown to seed to generate T3 plants for further resistance testing. When enough data is accumulated, we will present our results to seed companies.

On December 3, 2014, Evolutionary Genomics entered into a Fee for Service Agreement with The Curators of the University of Missouri for the development of transgenic soybean plants with candidate genes for Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) resistance. A critical element of the research with the University of Missouri was to generate a large enough number of heritable single copy events to facilitate the next stage of resistance testing with Dr. Nguyen’s lab at the University of Missouri. There have been a small number of events indicating of the impact of both EG261 and EG19 but not nearly enough events were produced to create robust data sets. We continue to process the small number of viable events at the University of Missouri to test for Soybean Cyst Nematode (“SCN”) resistance. No further amounts will be due under this contract.


It is critical to note that the soybean transformation project difficulties at the University of Missouri do not reflect on the efficacy of our genes but, instead, are a reflection of their process not creating enough transgenic events.


We need to generate additional viable events at another institution and have entered into a Service Agreement with Wisconsin Crop Innovation Center (“WCIC”) under which they have transformed soybeans using our genes. WCIC guarantees a minimum number of successful events, have helped to establish the right combinations to achieve a range of expression and will test to assure us of successful events. WCIC has events from seven constructs of EG261 and EG19 growing in their greenhouses. These plants will be harvested in the second quarter of 2020 at which time we planned to begin SCN resistance testing of these lines at the University of Missouri. The lab at the University of Missouri has informed us that they are not starting any new projects due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Our planned project to perform SCN resistance testing of our soybean genes is therefor on indefinite hold.


If we are able to resume SCN resistance testing and results confirm the findings of the University of Wisconsin-Madison for EG261 and the effectiveness of the new gene, EG19, the Company will look to enter into negotiations for a long-term research collaboration and licensing agreement with seed companies. This type of agreement will likely have an upfront payment, milestone payments during their testing and a licensing royalty stream once the genes are incorporated into commercial seed lines. The testing phase includes field trials which may proceed for several years prior to generating licensing revenue. There are many risks in this process including some that are outside of Evolutionary Genomics’ control and there can be no guarantee that we will ever generate any revenue from these potential agreements. If Evolutionary Genomics receives product royalties from the soybean genes, it is required to pay the United Soybean Board a ten percent royalty stream not to exceed 150% of the grant amount of $262,400.


The Company has identified pest/disease resistance genes in other commercially valuable crops. The Company is currently engaged with the University of Missouri to perform two generation, whole plant testing of genes in tomatoes and corn that may lead to increased pest/disease resistance. This project is currently on hold pending results from our soybean project and the availability of funding. If successful, we intend to market them to the seed industry.This strategy will require Evolutionary Genomics to incur significant research costs prior to any confirmation of commercial viability and there can be no guarantee that the desired results can be achieved or that commercialization can be reached.


Evolutionary Genomics has identified a gene in tomatoes that impacts the plant’s ability to tolerate salt and a gene that appears to control sweetness. On January 9, 2018, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued patent 9,862,962 titled IDENTIFICATION AND USE OF TOMATO GENES CONTROLLING SALT/DROUGHT TOLERANCE AND FRUIT SWEETNESS. Despite discussions with seed companies, the Company has not been able to reach any agreement to license these genes and there can be no assurance that we will ever realize any revenue from these genes.


In 2014, the Company began a project to identify genes in cotton that may impact traits of commercial interest. In particular, we intend to focus on pest resistance and fiber length. We have used our Adapted Traits Platform to identify positively selected candidate genes and intend to further research these genes to confirm that they were positively selected. If any of these genes remain promising, we intend to contract with an independent lab to validate the effectiveness of those genes. These studies can be very costly and there can be no assurance that we will be successful with this project.


During the 1950s the global banana industry was devastated by a disease (caused by Fusarium fungus) that effectively wiped out the predominate variety of commercial bananas know as Gros Michel leading to the development of the Cavendish banana, which makes up well over 90% of the commercial banana market today. Cavendish was resistant to the strain of Fusarium that wiped out the Gros Michel variety but, in recent years, is being challenged by a new race of Fusarium that threatens to once again devastate the global banana industry. This crisis is imminent and has no solution. The recent emergence of Panama Disease TR4 in the Western Hemisphere makes a swift solution to the crisis even more urgent.  A substantial part of the banana market consists of exports from Central and South America to the United States. This market is now critically imperiled.




16




In 2018, the Company began a project to identify genes in wild banana relatives that are resistant to Fusarium. We believe that we are uniquely qualified to provide a solution to this crisis. We have previously used our technology to identify genes in common beans and, in our project for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in common beans, proved that these genes provided increased resistance to Fusarium fungus. We used our platform to isolate a banana gene that controls Fusarium Wilt, aka Panama Disease, Tropical Race 4. The gene, which we have named FusR1 (Fusarium Resistance 1), is a native gene in Musa species, including cultivated bananas. We have found that, for all FW-resistant banana cultivars/species that we have tested, one version of our gene exists while, in all FW-sensitive banana cultivars/species that we have tested, there is a different version of FusR1. And notably, a third version exists in semi-resistant varieties that has allowed us to identify the particular nucleotide changes that are crucial for resistance to Fusarium Wilt.


We believe that this native banana gene can be introduced into cultivated bananas, particularly the Fusarium-sensitive Cavendish cultivar, in order to make these cultivars resistant to Fusarium Wilt.  Cavendish cultivars are sterile and seedless, but it should be possible to use MAB (marker assisted breeding), though perhaps difficult and time-consuming, to move FusR1 into Cavendish and other cultivated bananas. We believe that a gene transformation approach would be faster and easier. Given the threat of possible extinction for Cavendish, rapid approaches are not only warranted but essential and minimally genetically edited bananas will be accepted depending upon how the gene transfer is accomplished. Transfer of this native banana gene to cultivated bananas can be best accomplished with CRISPR technology, which allows a targeted, clean, and efficient transfer and which, as compared to more traditional genetic editing techniques, minimizes potential side effects.  We believe that Cavendish bananas can be rendered Fusarium Wilt resistant by changing only a few base pairs. These sorts of minimal changes have been allowed by the USDA and FDA in several crops. Even in Europe, use of CRISPR technology has gained substantial traction.


On June 26, 2019, we filed a United States patent application titled IDENTIFICATION AND RESISTANCE GENES FROM WILD RELATIVES OF BANANA AND THEIR USES IN CONTROLLING PANAMA DISEASE. We have also entered into discussions with the largest banana companies in the world. Based on previous experience and common practice in the agriculture industry, we believe that potential agreements with these companies may include some combination of upfront payments for research completed to date, partial or full funding of validation trials, lumpsum milestone payments and/or long term royalty payments upon their use of our gene in production.  The Company is engaged in advanced discussions with one of these banana companies regarding a relationship to further develop our banana genes through transformation and validation.  We expect to incur significant expenses for the transformation and validation of our banana genes over the next twenty-four months which we expect to be funded by this agreement.  There can be no assurance that we will reach such an agreement or that the funding will be available.


If we are able to successfully transform and validate our banana genes, which will likely take 24-36 months, we hope to enter into a long term royalty contract with one or more banana producers based on banana revenue, banana plants produced or acres planted with plants with our gene.  There are many risks associated with achieving these desired results including but not limited to:


-We may not reach agreement with any of the banana companies for funding of the transformation/validation;

-We may not be able to adequately establish patent protection for our intellectual property or others may have competing claims;

-Others may develop competitive approaches to compete with our genes;

-Our transformation academic labs may fail to develop enough events for testing;

-Our genes may cause unforeseen and undesirable changes beyond the pest resistance such as yield degradation or changes in the appearance or taste of the fruit;

-Our genes may fail to deliver the desired results of resistance to Fusarium;

-Globally regulations and/or consumer preference may prevent the successful commercial launch of bananas with genetics changed using our methods; and

-We will be dependent on other companies for the successful production and marketing of bananas with our genes and many factors will be outside of our control.


These and other risk factors are discussed in more detail in our 10-K filing dated March 30, 2020.

Income Taxes


The Company records a valuation allowance for certain temporary differences for which it is more likely than not that it will not receive future tax benefits. It assesses its past earnings history and trends, sales backlogs, and projections of future net income. The Company recorded a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the net deferred tax asset because of our history of net losses and its decision that it is unlikely to recognize sufficient net income to realize the benefit of these assets over time until such time that the Company has had a reasonable history of net income. We will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate.


As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company maintained federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards of $5,195,000 and $4,322,000, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities was $924,315$34,788 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 compared to $784,304$124,079 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2019. The $140,011,$89,291, or 17.9%72.0%, increasedecrease was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, a decrease in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, an increase in stock compensation and a unrealized loss on investments compared to an unrealized gain in the prior year partially offset by the increased net loss partially offset smaller decreases in cash used to reduce accounts payable and accrued expenses.operating loss. Net cash flows used for investing activities decreased to $502,175was $0 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 from $1,304,256 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the decreased purchases of trading securities (treasury bondsMarch 31, 2020 and bank certificates of deposit). We expect to use proceeds from the sale of these treasury bonds and bank certificates of deposit to fund operations and working capital needs.2019. Net cash provided from financing activities was none$0 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 comparedMarch 31, 2020 and 2019.


Sources of funding to $3,004,033meet prospective cash requirements include the Company’s existing cash balances and investments along with grant funds. As of March 31, 2020 we had $10,653 in our bank accounts and $29,694 of trading securities. On April 17, 2020, the Company received $71,268 in funding from the SBA under their Paycheck Protection Program and we expect that most, if not all of this funding will be forgiven. This will not be enough to pay for our expenses for the nineyear ending December 31, 2020 without any additional revenue from grants or licensing revenue or additional capital infusions. We are marketing our banana genes in 2020 which may lead to revenue but may not be able to market our soybean genes until the research is finished at an indefinite date. We have flexibility to reduce operating costs and also to delay research projects. We will require additional capital to complete our projects. These factors create substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying condensed and consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


The Company is engaged in advanced discussions with one banana company regarding a relationship to further develop our banana genes through transformation and validation.  We expect to incur significant expenses for the transformation and validation of our banana genes over the next twenty-four months ended September 30, 2016 duewhich we expect to be funded by this agreement.  There can be no assurance that we will reach such an agreement or that the funding will be available.


Without additional revenue, we believe that our current resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations for a period greater than one year. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management's plans, which may include continuing to raise capital through equity or debt based financings and marketing the Company’s genes to obtain licensing revenue. There can be no assurances that such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all or that we will be successful in our marketing efforts.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the issuancerecovery of preferred stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect, or that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect, on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.


Contractual Obligations


The Company leases its operating facility and pays its rent in monthly installments. The lease was renewed in June 2016 for a period of twelve months and monthly rentals for the period of July 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017December 31, 2019 are $2,378 per month which continues on a month-to-month basis. There is no minimum lease commitment as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2020. Renewals after June 30, 2017 are by mutual agreement. The Company’s rent expense for the ninethree months ended SeptemberMarch 31, 2020 and 2019 was $7,134 and $7,134, respectively.


On February 21, 2015, Evolutionary Genomics entered into a Sponsored Research Contract with The Curators of the University of Missouri for phenotyping transgenic soybean plants.  As amended the contract calls for payments to be made on a per plant basis with no minimum future payments.  We expect to continue this contract and will likely have additional amounts payable but the amount is indeterminable.

On May 3, 2018, Evolutionary Genomics entered into a Service Agreement with Wisconsin Crop Innovation Center for the development of transgenic soybean plants with total contract payments, including amendments of $141,631 of which $107,211 has been paid to date.  We expect to pay the remaining $34,420 prior to June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $14,267 and $13,750, respectively.2020.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.


Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be included in the Company’s reports to the Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Commission rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance 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 disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the period covered by this report, the Company’sour disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at these reasonable assurance levels for the reasons stated below.


Specifically, management identified the following control deficiencies: (1) the Company has not properly segregated duties as one or two individuals initiate, authorize, and complete all transactions. The Company has not implemented measures that would prevent the individuals from overriding the internal control system. The Company does not believe that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the Chief Financial Officer is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC’s reporting requirements and personally certifies the financial reports. (2) The Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.  (3) Due to the size of the Company and limited personnel, the Company has not hired an individual with technical accounting expertise within the accounting function.


Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable cost-effective assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. There is no assurance that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting can prevent all errors. An internal control system, no matter how well designed and operated, has inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error may occur and not be detected. We monitor our disclosure controls and internal controls and make modifications as we believe appropriate given our financial resources and limited level of activities. Our intent in this regard is that our disclosure controls and our internal controls will improve as systems change and conditions warrant.


(b) Changes in internal controls.


Our Certifying Officers have indicated that there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or other factors during the three months ending September 30, 2017,ended March 31, 2020, that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of histheir evaluation, and there were no such control actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

RISK FACTORS


Not requiredImpacts of COVID-19 on our business


The impact of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19), and measures to prevent its spread are affecting the macroeconomic environment and while the full impact is uncertain, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. We previously expected to complete the soybean research in the second quarter of 2020.  Subsequent to March 31, 2020, our academic labs have informed us that they are not starting any new projects due to the Covid-19 pandemic and we now believe that the project will be delayed into the second half of 2020.  If this research is not completed within a reasonable timeframe or within estimated costs, future licensing revenue, the valuation of our research in progress and the financial condition of the Company could be significantly impacted.  The impact on our business will depend on a number of factors such as the duration and extent of COVID-19, governmental actions, changes in consumer behavior, responses of our third-party business partners that offer our content through their platforms, and general economic activity.


We are attempting to conduct business as usual to the extent possible and are complying with the applicable stay at home orders issued by smaller reporting companies.the Governor of Colorado. The Company has been granted the status of essential operations and our staff continues to work in our lab while staggering working hours to limit exposure.


The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak may also exacerbate other risks discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, any of which could have a material effect on us.
