Ainos, Inc.1.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.

Organization and Business. Ainos, Inc., a Texas corporation formerly known as Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company", "we" or "us"), is engaged in developing medical technologies for point-of-care (“POCT”) testing and safe and novel medical treatment for a broad range of disease indications. Since our inception in 1984, we have concentrated our resources on business planning, raising capital, research and clinical development activities for our programs, securing related intellectual property and commercialization of proprietary therapeutics using low-dose non-injectable interferon (“IFN”). In addition to our core IFN technology, we are committed to developing a diversified healthcare business portfolio to include medical devices and consumer healthcare products. Although we have historically been involved in extensive pharmaceutical research and development of low-dose oral interferon as a therapeutic, we are prioritizing the commercialization of medical devices as part of our diversification strategy. Since April 15, 2021, we have acquired significant intellectual property from our majority shareholder, Ainos, Inc., a Cayman Islands corporation (“Ainos KY”), to expand our potential product portfolio into Volatile Organic Compounds (“VOC”) POCTs and COVID-19 POCTs. We expect our underlying intellectual property to enable us to expedite the commercialization of our medical device pipeline, beginning with the Ainos-branded COVID-19 POCT product candidates.

2.

Basis of presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2022 and the un-audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022, have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022.

3.

Financial Condition. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has generated revenues from sales of COVID-19 antigen test kits since the second quarter of 2021. However, losses are anticipated in the ongoing development of its business and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. The Company’s operations have been funded primarily from related-party convertible debt and equity financings. In addition, the Company received additional funding through a public offering concurrent with an uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Markets, as described in Note 9.

The continuing operations of the Company and the recoverability of the carrying value of assets is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund its working capital requirements, and upon future profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relative to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

9

Table of Contents

There can be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary to meet the Company’s working capital requirements or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company. The issuances of additional equity securities by the Company may result in dilution in the equity interests of its current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase the Company’s liabilities and future cash commitments. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the business and future success may be adversely affected and the Company may cease operations. These factors may raise uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

4.

Common Stock. We have 300,000,000 shares of voting common shares authorized for issuance. As of June 30, 2022, a total of 162,740,264 shares of common stock were either issued (144,379,308), or reserved for conversion of convertible debt to stock (17,358,339), held for future exercise of stock options (550,000) and shares reserved for warrant conversion (452,617). We also have $27,400,000 outstanding in convertibles notes which are convertible into shares of common stock upon and at a conversion price equal to 80% of the offering price of any public offering if the Company’s common stock is listed on a national exchange.

We have not paid any dividends to our common stock shareholders to date, and have no plans to do so in the immediate future.

5.

Preferred Stock. We have 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized for issuance. No shares of preferred stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2022.

6.

Current Convertible Notes Payable and Other Notes Payable. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of current convertible and other notes payable totaled $4,389,931 and $3,589,931, respectively.

OverviewBusiness

 

Ainos Inc. (the “Company”, a Texas corporation formerly known as Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company", "we"“we” or "us"“us”), is engaged in developing medical technologies for point-of-care (“POCT”) testing and safe and novel medical treatment for a broad range of disease indications. Since our inception in 1984, we have concentrated our resources on business planning, raising capital, research and clinical development activities for our programs, securing related intellectual property and commercialization of proprietary therapeutics using low-dose non-injectable interferon (“IFN”). In addition to our core IFN technology, we are committed to developing a diversified healthcare business portfolio to include medical devices and consumer healthcare products.

 

Although weWe have historically been involved in extensive pharmaceutical research and development of low-dose oral interferon as a therapeutic,therapeutic. We continue to develop our VELDONA platform and other pharmaceutical platforms and recently have acquired intellectual properties to expand our POCT business. In 2021 and 2022, we are prioritizing the commercialization of medical devices as part of our diversification strategy.  Since the beginning of 2021, we have acquired significant intellectual property from our majority shareholder, Ainos Inc., a Cayman Islands corporation (“Ainos KY”),KY, to expand our potential product portfolio into Volatile Organic Compounds (“VOC”) and COVID-19 POCTs.

Underwritten Public Offering

The Company’s registration statement related to its underwritten public offering (“Offering”) was declared effective on August 8, 2022, and the Company’s common stock and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on August 9, 2022 under the trading symbols “AIMD” and “AIMDW”, respectively. The Company completed its underwritten public offering of an aggregated 780,000 units at a public offering price of $4.25 per unit. Each unit issued in the offering consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.25.

In connection with the Offering, the Company’s board of directors on April 29, 2022 and our shareholders on May 16, 2022 approved a 1-for-15 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock and each series of its redeemable convertible notes to be consummated prior to the effectiveness of the Offering.  The par value and authorized shares of the Company’s common stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. All issued and outstanding common stock, RSUs, warrants and options to purchase common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.

The Company filed an amended Restated Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State of Texas on August 8, 2022 that effectuated the Reverse Stock Split.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2023, have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

Financial Condition

These accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had available cash and cash equivalents of $1,146,132 and $1,853,362, respectively. We anticipate business revenues and potential financial support from outside sources to fund our operations over the next twelve months. The Company has generated revenues from sales of COVID-19 antigen test kits since the second quarter of 2021. However, due to uncertainties surrounding the progression of COVID-19 infection, there can be no assurance that we can continue grow the COVID-19 test business. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on further successful development and commercialization of one or more of our current or future product candidates and programs. We anticipate our POCT and VELDONA candidates to potentially generate organic cash flows to support our business operation. If we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution, and legal and regulatory compliance. We may also incur additional expenses associated with increased headcount and product development. Furthermore, we expect to incur more general and administrative expenses associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses.

Until we can generate significant revenue from product sales, the Company intends to seek additional funding through equity offerings or borrowing arrangements or licensing agreements or strategic alliances to implement its business plan. Please refer to the Subsequent Events section. The issuances of additional equity securities by the Company may result in dilution in the equity interests of its current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans may increase the Company’s liabilities and future cash commitments.

We are unable to predict the timing or amount of unexpected expenses or when or if we will be able to increase significant revenue due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development and related legal regulatory requirements, and when we are eventually able to generate additional product sales or licensing income, those revenue may not be sufficient to become profitable. Furthermore, fundraising of emerging company is extremely challenging due to the high uncertainty of the overall economic environment at present. There can be no assurance that the revenue will be generated in time or capital will be available as necessary to meet the Company’s working capital requirements or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

If the company is unable to generate cash inflow from operating activities in the near future, and cannot complete fundraising with sufficient amount and acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, but the accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relative to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities.

2018 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2018-ESOP”). 

On September 26, 2018, the Board adopted the Company 2018 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2018-ESOP”), formerly referred to as the “Amarillo Biosciences, Inc., 2018 Employee Stock Option Plan” in prior filings. The 2018-ESOP provides for the grant of Qualified Incentive Stock Options to the Company’s employees. Qualified options automatically became non-qualified options effective September 26, 2019 and was governed under the 2018-NQSOP described below because the plan was not ratified by our shareholders. The maximum number of shares of common stock authorized under the plan was 66,666 shares. The option price per share of common stock deliverable upon the exercise of an incentive stock option was 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. The option price is $5.70 per share and the options are exercisable during a period of ten years from the date of grant, where the options vest 20% annually over five years, commencing one year from date of grant.

Effective as of October 6, 2021, with the adoption by the Board of the 2021 SIP, no further awards may be granted under the 2018-ESOP.

On September 26, 2018, the Board adopted the Company 2018 Officers, Directors, Employees, and Consultants Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the “2018-NQSOP”), formerly referred to as the “Amarillo Biosciences, Inc., 2018 Officers, Directors, Employees, and Consultants Nonqualified Stock Option Plan” in prior filings. The 2018-NQSOP provides for the grant of nonqualified incentive stock options to employees. The 2018-NQSOP is administered by the Board or by the Compensation Committee as constituted from time to time. The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued under the 2018-NQSOP is 266,666 which will be reserved for issuance upon exercise of options. The option price for the nonqualified options is $5.73 exercisable for a period of ten years, with a vesting period of five years at 20% per year commencing one year from date of grant.

Effective as of October 6, 2021, with the adoption by the Board of the 2021 SIP, no further awards may be granted under the 2018-NQSOP. As of March 31, 2023, options to acquire 36,666 shares of common stock remained outstanding.

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On September 28, 2021, the Board and on May 16, 2022 our shareholders, respectively, approved the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP” or “Plan”). The purpose of the 2021 ESPP is to provide an opportunity for eligible employees of the company and its designated companies (as defined in the Plan) to purchase common stock at a discount through voluntary contributions, thereby attracting, retaining and rewarding such persons and strengthening the mutuality of interest between such persons and the Company’s stockholders. The Company intends for offerings under the Plan to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code; provided, that the Plan administrator may also authorize the grant of rights under offerings that are not intended to comply with the requirements of Section 423, pursuant to any rules, procedures, agreements, appendices, or sub-plans adopted by the administrator. Subject to adjustments as provided in the Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan may not exceed 50,000 shares. Such shares may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased in the open market. The Plan is subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders within twelve months after the date of Board approval. The Plan will become effective on the date that stockholder approval is obtained, and will continue in effect until it expires on the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan, unless terminated earlier.

2021 Stock Incentive Plan

On September 28, 2021, the Board and on May 16, 2022 our shareholders, respectively, approved the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 SIP” or “Plan”). The purpose of the 2021 SIP is to provide a means through which the Company, and the other members of the Company Group, defined by Section 2(n) of the Plan as the Company and its subsidiaries, and any other affiliate of the Company designated as a member of the Company Group by the Committee, may attract and retain key personnel, and to provide a means whereby directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company and the other members of the Company Group can acquire and maintain an equity interest in the Company, or be paid incentive compensation measured by reference to the value of common stock, thereby strengthening their commitment to the interests of the Company Group and aligning their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders. The types of awards that may be granted from the Plan include individually or collectively, any Incentive Stock Option, Nonqualified Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Dividend Equivalent Rights and Other Equity-Based Award granted under the Plan. The Plan became effective on June 21, 2022. The expiration date of the Plan, on and after which date no awards may be granted, is October 6, 2031 (the tenth anniversary of the date of Board approval of the Plan), provided, however, that such expiration will not affect awards then outstanding, and the terms and conditions of the Plan will continue to apply to such Awards. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to awards under the Plan is 1,333,333 shares of Common Stock (the “Plan Share Reserve”), subject to adjustments as provided in the Plan. The number of shares underlying any award granted under 2018 ESOP or 2018 NQSOP (the “Prior Plans”) that expires, terminates or is canceled or forfeited for any reason whatsoever under the terms of the Prior Plans, will increase the Plan Share Reserve. Each Award granted under the Plan will reduce the Plan Share Reserve by the number of shares underlying the award. No more than 666,666 shares may be issued in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options granted under the Plan. The maximum number of shares subject to awards granted during a single fiscal year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such director during the fiscal year, will not exceed $600,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on their grant date fair value for financial reporting purposes).

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company did not issue any award under the 2021 SIP.

In 2022,2023, we are prioritizing the commercialization of our lead VOC POCT devices, beginning with seeking EUA authorizationscandidate, Ainos Flora, pursue out-licensing of our VELDONA candidates. We are also commercializing VELDONA as supplements for pets, initially in Taiwan. We recently assigned Topmed International Biotech Co. to exclusively market the COVID-19 POCTpet supplement product candidates and plans to commercialize our other POCT product candidates.  As a general strategy, we plan to conduct clinical trials in Taiwan and use the data to apply for TFDA approval and FDA clearance via the 510(k) or comparable pathway.  If our products are approved, we plan to work with third-party distributors to market our products in countries where we receive regulatory approval and to seek various business relationships with other medtech companies to market our products.  At the same time, we plan to initiate clinical trials for the VELDONA and SRNA programs over the course of this year.Taiwan.

 

Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on further successful development and commercialization of one or more of our current or future product candidates and programs. We anticipate our POCT products candidatesIn the near-term, we expect the COVID-19 antigen test kits to potentially generate organic cash flows to support our business while we invest in our other pipeline projects. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses for the next few years as we advance our product candidates through preclinical development, clinical trials and regulatory approval. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution, and legal and regulatory compliance. We may also incur expenses in connection with strategic relationships for the development of additional product candidates. Furthermore, we expect to continue to incur costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses.

 

Until we can generate significant revenue from product sales,revenues, if ever, we expect to finance our operations with business revenues and proceeds from external sources. We may pursue additional funding that may include our entry into or expansion of borrowing arrangements; research and development incentive payments, government grants, co-financing from pharmaceutical companies and other corporate sources; and potential future collaboration agreements with pharmaceutical companies or other third parties. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as, and when, needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization, potential in-licenses or acquisitions plans for one or more of our product candidates.

 

We are unable to predict the timing or amount of unexpected expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development and related legal regulatory requirements. When we are eventually able to generate additional product sales, those sales may not be sufficient to become profitable. If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations.

We believe affordable, easy-to-use, rapidthat during the COVID-19 testingpandemic, consumers have become increasingly familiar with at-home tests. Moving forward, people may seek additional at-home tests to manage other infections as quickly as possible. Home self-testing and self-collection have been increasingly available for other infections such as vaginal or sexually transmitted infections. We believe this new user behavior, supported by a variety of telehealth platforms, will continuebecome increasingly accommodative for our other POCT products as COVID-19 becomes an endemic.

We are continuing to monitor the potential impact of the pandemic, but we cannot be certain the future impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The Company anticipates that its cash reserves, business revenues from the Ainos COVID-19 test kits, sales of its common stock, and debt financing through convertible and non-convertible notes are sufficient to fund the Company’s operations over the next twelve months. As the number of reported COVID cases has been increasing in Taiwan, we anticipate demand for the test kits to increase, at least in the short term. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to make the Company profitable. If those efforts are not successful, the Company may raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, debt financings or other sources in order to further implement its business plan, including, as required, additional external financing from our majority shareholder. However, if such financing is not available when needed and at adequate levels, the Company will need to reevaluate its operating plan.
