Issuer
NӦK was incorporated on May 22, 2024, in the state of Florida and with its primary place of business located at 1452 N. US HWY 1, Suite 123, Ormond Beach, FL 32174.
NӦK is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing Natural Killer (NK) cell-based cancer therapies. These autologous therapies target areas within both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. NӦK is made up of an experienced team that includes renowned NK cell experts. NK cells play an important role in the body’s protection against cancer by effectively recognizing virus-infected and tumor cells. NK cells kill both cell types and also interact with other cells making them vital in innate immune defense.

Platform enabling selective expansion and activation of NK cells from cancer patient’s peripheral blood produces NK cells with increased tumor killing ability.
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has irrevocably elected to avail itself of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for so long as we are an emerging growth company, are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are not limited to:
| ● | Not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; |
| ● | Not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditors’ report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements; |
| ● | Reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation; and |
| ● | Exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
We may remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, as such amount is indexed for inflation every five years by the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers during its most recently completed fiscal year, (3) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates met or exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such fiscal year or (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
REGULATION A+
We are offering our Shares pursuant to recently adopted rules by the SEC mandated under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. These offering rules are often referred to as “Regulation A+.” We are relying upon “Tier 2” of Regulation A+, which allows us to offer of up to $75 million in a 12-month period.
In accordance with the requirements of Tier 2 of Regulation A+, we will be required to publicly file annual, semiannual, and current event reports with the SEC after the qualification of the offering statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.

| | |
Risk Factors | | An investment in the Shares involves certain risks. You should carefully consider the risks above, as well as other risks described under “Risk Factors” in this offering circular before making an investment decision. |
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider each of the following risks, together with all other information set forth or incorporated by reference in this Offering Circular, including, but not limited to, the consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before making a decision to buy our securities. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be harmed.
RISK FACTORS REGARDING OUR COMPANY AND BUSINESS
Investments in small businesses and start-up companies are often risky.
Small businesses may depend heavily upon a single customer, supplier, or employee whose departure would seriously damage the company’s profitability. The demand for the Company’s product may be seasonal or be impacted by the overall economy, or the company could face other risks that are specific to its industry or type of business. The Company may also have a hard time competing against larger companies who can negotiate for better prices from suppliers, produce goods and services on a large scale more economically, or take advantage of bigger marketing budgets. Furthermore, a small business could face risks from lawsuits, governmental regulations, and other potential impediments to growth.
The Company has no operating history.
The Company is still in an early phase and is just beginning to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that it will ever operate profitably. The likelihood of its success should be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays usually encountered by companies in their early stages of development, with low barriers to entry. The Company may not be successful in attaining the objectives necessary for it to overcome these risks and uncertainties.
The Company may need additional capital, which may not be available.
The Company may require funds in excess of its existing cash resources to fund operating deficits, develop new products or services, establish, and expand its marketing capabilities, and finance general and administrative activities. Due to market conditions at the time the Company may need additional funding, or due to its financial condition at that time, it is possible that the Company will be unable to obtain additional funding as and when it needs it. Even if the Company is able to obtain capital, it may be on unfavorable terms or terms which excessively dilute then-existing equity holders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding as and when needed, it could be forced to delay its development, marketing, and expansion efforts and, if it continues to experience losses, potentially cease operations.
The Company’s management has broad discretion in how the Company use the net proceeds of an offering.
The Company’s management will have considerable discretion over the use of proceeds from their offering. You may not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately.
The Company may not be able to manage its potential growth.
For the Company to succeed, it needs to experience significant expansion. There can be no assurance that it will achieve this expansion. This expansion, if accomplished, may place a significant strain on the Company’s management, operational and financial resources. To manage any material growth, the Company will be required to implement operational and financial systems, procedures and controls. It also will be required to expand its finance, administrative and operations staff. There can be no assurance that the Company’s current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support its future operations at any increased level. The Company’s failure to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Company faces significant competition
Biotechnology companies, especially startup companies in the biotechnology industry, often find themselves in competition against biotech industry giants. These larger industry giants are backed by vast resources and a deep-rooted market presence and can be a formidable opponent to competition. Hence, securing access to capital is crucial to the ability of a biotech startup to compete and succeed. There can be no assurance the Company will ever be able to attain a competitive market position for its products and services. If the Company is not able to charge the prices it anticipates charging for its services, there may be a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. In addition, while the Company believes it is well-positioned to be the market leader in its industry, the emergence of one of its existing or future competitors as a market leader may limit the Company’s ability to achieve national brand recognition, which could also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
The Company’s growth relies on market acceptance.
While the Company believes that there will be significant customer demand for its products/services, there is no assurance that there will be broad market acceptance of the Company’s offerings. Biotech companies contribute and benefit the public at large due to their medical innovations. There also may not be broad market acceptance of the Company’s offerings if its competitors offer products/services which are preferred by prospective customers. In such an event, there may be a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, and the Company may not be able to achieve its goals.
The Company’s founders, directors and executive officers own or control a majority of the Company.
Additionally, the holdings of the Company’s directors and executive officers may increase in the future upon vesting or other maturation of exercise rights under any of the options or warrants they may hold or in the future be granted or if they otherwise acquire additional interest in the Company. The interests of such persons may differ from the interests of the Company’s other stockholders, including purchasers of securities in the offering. As a result, in addition to their board seats and offices, such persons will have significant influence over and control all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how the Company’s other stockholders, including purchasers in the offering, may vote, including the following actions:
| 1. | to elect or defeat the election of the Company’s directors; |
| 2. | to amend or prevent amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws; |
| 3. | to effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and |
| 4. | to control the outcome of any other matter submitted to the Company’s stockholders for vote. |
Such persons’ ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could reduce the Company’s stock price or prevent the Company’s stockholders from realizing a premium over the Company’s stock price.
Our business depends heavily on our officers and directors.
Our future ability to execute our business plan depends upon the continued service of our President and CEO Robert Lewis and CFO Brian Cogley. If we lost the services of one or more of our key personnel, or if one or more of our executive officers or employees joined a competitor or otherwise competed with us, our business may be adversely affected. We cannot assure that we will be able to retain or replace our key personnel.
If we are unable to retain the members of our management team or attract and retain qualified management team members in the future, our business and growth could suffer.
Our success and future growth depend, to a significant degree, on the continued contributions of the members of our management team. Each member of our management team is an at-will employee and may voluntarily terminate his or her employment with us at any time with minimal notice. We also may need to hire additional management team members to adequately manage our growing business. We may not be able to retain or identify and attract additional qualified management team members. Qualified individuals are in high demand, and we may incur significant costs to attract and retain them. If we lose the services of any member of our management team or if we are unable to attract and retain additional qualified senior management teams, our business and growth could suffer.
Our operating results may continue to be adversely affected as a result of unfavorable market, economic, social and political conditions.
An unstable global economic, social and political environment may have a negative impact on demand for our services, our business and our operations, including the U.S. economic environment. The economic, social and political environment has or may negatively impact, among other things:
| ● | current and future demand for our services; |
| ● | price competition for our products and services; |
Reliance on third-party service providers creates risks for the Company.
Some of the Company’s operations depend on third-party service providers to host and deliver products, services, and data. Any interruptions, delays, or disruptions of delivery of such products, services, security, or data, including any privacy breaches or failures in data collection, could expose the Company to liability and harm its reputation. Additionally, third-party manufacturers and suppliers are subject to numerous environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing laboratory procedures and the handling, use, storage, treatment and disposal of certain materials and wastes. The Company may incur substantial costs in order to comply with current or future environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. Current or future environmental laws and regulations may impair research, development, or production efforts and failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in substantial fines, penalties, or other sanctions.
Company employees may engage in misconduct, regulatory noncompliance, or other improper activities.
The Company is exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other misconduct. Misconduct by employees could include intentional failures to comply with rules and specifications of regulatory authorities, or intentional delivery of inaccurate information to regulatory authorities. Misconduct by employees could include intentional failures to comply with certain manufacturing standards; intentional failures to comply with healthcare fraud and abuse laws enforced by regulatory authorities; intentional failure to report financial information or data accurately; or to disclose unauthorized activities to the Company. Sales, marketing, and business arrangements in the healthcare industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. Employee misconduct could also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to company reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter employee misconduct, and the precautions the Company takes to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting the Company from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to follow such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against the Company, it could have a significant impact on the business and results of operations, including the imposition of significant fines or other sanctions.
The Company is subject to foreign and domestic health and data protection laws.
Compliance with U.S. data protection laws could restrict the Company’s ability to collect, use and disclose data, or in some cases, impact the Company’s ability to operate in certain jurisdictions. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in government enforcement actions, private litigation, and could negatively affect operating results and business.
Claims that the Company violated individuals’ privacy rights, failed to comply with data protection laws, or breached contractual obligations, could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could harm business.
The Company is subject to environmental regulations for R&D activities and the handling of regulated substances.
During research and development activities and when working with regulated pharmaceuticals, the Company could be subject to federal, provincial/state, and local laws, rules and regulations governing the use, generation, manufacture, storage, air emission, effluent discharge, handling and disposal of certain materials, biological specimens, and wastes. The Company believes it has complied with all applicable laws, regulations and policies in all material respects and the Company has never been required to correct any material noncompliance issues. The Company may incur significant costs to comply with environmental and health and safety regulations in the future.
LEGAL RISKS
The Company must protect its intellectual property rights or risk loss of valuable assets and market share.
Commercial success depends significantly on the Company’s ability to obtain and maintain patents, maintain trade secret protection, and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.
The patent positions of pharmaceutical companies are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. The coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly reduced before a patent is issued. Issued patents may not provide protection against competitive technologies or may be held invalid if challenged. Competitors may also independently develop similar products or otherwise circumvent patents issued to the Company. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as Canadian, European or U.S. law.
Company success depends on trade secrets, technical know-how, and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain a superior technology position. The Company may be unable to protect its patent rights, trade secrets, technical know-how and other non-patented technology. The Company may need to resort to litigation to protect intellectual property rights. Enforcing or defending intellectual proprietary rights is expensive and may be unsuccessful. Loss of patent protection could end or shorten the period of market exclusivity from a competitor developing or selling simpler product and could adversely impact the Company’s business, market position and financial prospects.
RISKS RELATED TO THE INDUSTRY
Biotech research industry businesses are speculative and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. The research and development of new proposed products may not succeed in creating any commercial products or value due to formulation, supply chain limitations, preclinical evidence, clinical trial failure, lack of acceptance or demand from the marketplace, technological inefficiencies, competition, or other reasons. There is no assurance that any biotech company will earn revenue or a profit.
There is no assurance that research and development activities will result in any commercial products.
Research and development efforts for biotech products may fail to result in any commercial products, or any proprietary or patentable technology. Biotech products may not work, competitors may develop and sell superior products performing the same function, or industry participants may not accept or desire those products. Biotechnology companies may not be able to protect their proprietary rights, if any, from infringement or theft by third parties. Government regulation may delay, suppress, or prevent marketing and sales of products, even if products can be commercialized. Biotech companies may have inadequate capital to successfully execute key aspects of their business plan, particularly as it relates to the capital-intensive drug approval processes, which take years to complete.
Biotechnology products require regulatory approvals, and the issuance of regulatory approvals is uncertain and subject to a number of risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, regulatory authorities such as the FDA or research Institutional Review Boards (“IRBs”) disagreeing with the design or implementation of clinical trial protocols; the results of clinical trials may not be efficacious or may not meet the level of statistical or clinical significance to receive marketing approval for any product. Regulatory authorities may fail to approve the manufacturing processes or facilities of third-party manufacturers and commercial suppliers. Without approvals from regulatory authorities a product cannot be sold.
Successful pharma products are dependent on numerous factors beyond the control of Company management.
Planned clinical study results may show a product to be less effective than expected or may demonstrate harmful or problematic side effects to the user, which would prohibit a company from launching a product. Additionally, there are multiple opportunities for delays to occur during the process of undertaking clinical studies. These delays may be caused by the time needed for regulatory approvals by the IRB(s) and/or government; recruitment challenges (i.e., slow enrollment in clinical investigations); the length of time needed to measure biomarkers and reach investigational endpoints; additional time needed for data analysis; time needed for additional preclinical or clinical data or unexpected safety or manufacturing issues; manufacturing costs and/or supply chain delays; or other factors that render the product not economical. Competing products and technologies may also prevent a product from being economical. Any of these events could significantly harm business results.
Undesirable side effects can delay or prevent regulatory approval of pharmaceutical products.
Side effects related to study investigational products could impact IRB(s) and/or government regulatory approvals; the ability of enrolled participants to complete the study protocol; and/or could result in potential liability claims. If undesirable side effects are being caused by the product, a number of potentially significant negative consequences could result including regulatory authorities withdrawing approval to continue research; or a requirement for cautionary warning statements be printed on product labels and the biotech company could be held liable for harm caused. Any of these events could prevent a company from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of the product and could significantly harm business results.
Product liability could cause extensive losses if a product is found to be unsafe.
All biotech and pharmaceutical companies are subject to strict product liability laws. A product liability lawsuit could cause substantial losses. Under certain circumstances distributors or retailers of a product may be required to recall or withdraw the product from the marketplace. Even if a situation does not necessitate a recall or market withdrawal, product liability claims may be asserted. If the consumption of any of a product causes, or is alleged to have caused, a health-related illness, a biotech or pharmaceutical company may become subject to claims or lawsuits relating to such matters. Even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that the products caused illness or physical harm could adversely affect reputation and brand equity.
The industry is competitive with many new developments and competitors with vast resources.
The pharmaceutical industry is characterized by rapid technological developments and a high degree of competition. Biotech companies compete with other companies for lab space, clinical suites, and highly qualified personnel. Biotech companies must possess strong intellectual property (patents) and demonstrate the ability to commercialize technological developments, raise necessary capital, obtain necessary approvals, conduct large-scale trials, manufacture at scale, distribute abroad, and monetize products. During this time, other companies may develop products that are safer, more effective, or less costly rendering products under development noncompetitive or obsolete.
Success in preclinical and early clinical studies does not ensure success with large-scale investigations.
Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in clinical trials after achieving positive results in preclinical development. Potential setbacks can include negative efficacy observations and/or a lack of replicability of results in clinical trials, as well as potential adverse events. Moreover, preclinical data can be susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, and many companies that believed their product performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies nonetheless failed to obtain approval or a marketing authorization from regulatory authorities.
Regulatory approval processes are lengthy, time-consuming, and inherently unpredictable.
Biotech companies are not permitted to market products until they receive approval by specific jurisdictional regulatory authorities (such as the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), and the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”)). Collectively, these regulatory authorities will be referred to as “Regulatory Authorities” or a “Regulatory Authority” generally or in the singular. Prior to submitting a product to any Regulatory Authority for approval, a biotech company will need to complete years of extensive research, including clinical trials (i.e., human studies) and for pharmaceuticals, preclinical research studies (i.e., in vitro and animal studies) as well. All clinical trials require ethics approval from one or more research IRBs. Successfully completing a clinical research program and obtaining approval is a complex, lengthy, and expensive process. Upon completion, research data is used to support market access applications to government authorities. A regulatory authority may delay, limit, or deny approval of a product for many reasons, including not being able to demonstrate a product is safe and effective (i.e., poorly designed research studies; insufficient evidence from clinical trial data; lack of replicability of clinical research results; and/or adverse events associated with the investigational product). Regulatory authorities may also not approve product formulations for market if the product cannot demonstrate that it meets good quality standards (i.e., it cannot consistently meet set analytical specifications; the product cannot maintain a consistent shelf life; and/or the product contains adulterated or fraudulent materials).
Any of these factors could increase development costs and/or jeopardize the ability of a product to obtain regulatory approval, resulting in a significant impact on the viability of any biotechnology business.
Delays with regulators are common and beyond the control of company management.
Inadequate funding, and an increase in the volume of new regulatory applications to government agencies have slowed review periods and approval processes. Average review times at these agencies have fluctuated in recent years (and are expected to continue to fluctuate), and therefore cannot be accurately predicted. Disruptions at regulatory agencies may increase the time necessary for regulatory applications be reviewed and/or approved, causing unpredictable delays which may prevent market access, leading to a negative impact on the product’s potential sales.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING
There is no minimum capitalization required in this offering. We cannot assure that all or a significant number of Shares will be sold in this offering. Investors’ subscription funds will be used by us at our discretion, and no refunds will be given if an inadequate amount of money is raised from this offering to enable us to conduct our business. If we raise less than the entire amount that we are seeking in the offering, then we may not have sufficient capital to meet our operating requirements. We cannot assure that we could obtain additional financing or capital from any source, or that such financing or capital would be available to us on terms acceptable to us. Under such circumstances, investors could lose their investment in us. Furthermore, investors who subscribe for Shares in the earlier stages of the offering will assume a greater risk than investors who subscribe for Shares later in the offering as subscriptions approach the maximum amount.
We determined the price of the Shares arbitrarily. The offering price of the Shares has been determined by management, and bears no relationship to our assets, book value, potential earnings, net worth or any other recognized criteria of value. We cannot assure that price of the Shares is the fair market value of the Shares or that investors will earn any profit on them.
After the completion of this offering, we may be at an increased risk of securities class action litigation. Historically, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. If we were to be sued, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We make forward-looking statements under the “Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other sections of this Offering Circular. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” and the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, you should consider the numerous risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors.
While we believe we have identified material risks, these risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Offering Circular describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements.

Emerging Growth Company
We are an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or the JOBS Act. We may remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, as such amount is indexed for inflation every five years by the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers during its most recently completed fiscal year, (3) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates met or exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such fiscal year or (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company,
| ● | As a newly formed start-up company, we present only initial audited financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in our initial registration statement; |
| ● | we avail ourselves of the exemption from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley; |
| ● | we provide reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and |
| ● | we do not require shareholder non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements. |
In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The preparation of these financial statements 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 expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Offering Document, we believe that the accounting policies discussed above are critical to our financial results and to the understanding of our past and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s estimates and assumptions. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) it requires us to make assumptions because information was not available at the time or it included matters that were highly uncertain at the time we were making our estimate; and (2) changes in the estimate could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Equity-based compensation

Listing and Transfer Agent

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Florida law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate (with a few exceptions) the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that eliminate, to the extent allowable under Florida law, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer, as the case may be. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance for our directors, officers, employees, and agents for some liabilities. We currently maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by directors and officers in the performance of their duties.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to the indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws.
There is currently no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of NöK Therapeutics, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of NöK Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company) as of June 30, 2024, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the periods from inception (May 22, 2024) to June 30, 2024, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods from inception (May 22, 2024) to June 30, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NÖK THERAPEUTICS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Business
NÖK Therapeutics, Inc. (“NÖK”, the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Florida on May 22, 2024. The Company is a biotechnology company developing natural killer (“NK”) cell-based therapies. The current business model is designed around furthering the development of its current product portfolio in new and exciting therapeutic areas such as oncology.
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash – For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company regularly monitors the financial condition of the institution in which it has depository accounts and believes the risk of loss is minimal.
Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to temporary differences between reporting of income and expenses for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future federal income taxes.
ASC 740 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law within subtopic ASC 740-10-25-5. The guidance prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Management believes that there is liability related to uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2024.
Use of Estimates– The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements– During the period from inception (May 22, 2024) to June 30, 2024, there were new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Going Concern Risk– The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financials or establish itself as a profitable business. As discussed in Note 8, Subsequent Events, Management has demonstrated the ability to raise capital to execute our business plan. Through the date of these financial statements, there have been no new contracts or leases executed, and the Company has minimal operating expenses. Based on a review of the Company’s financial position, current and future expense structure, and liquidity and debt obligations, management believes the Company has sufficient cash and cash available to it to meet all financial needs and obligations for the ensuing 12-month period.
NOTE 3 – DEBT
In May 2024, the Company entered into an unsecured note agreement with GoLabs Research and Development LLC in the principal amount of $150,000 together with interest of 6%, with a maturity date of May 28, 2026. Martin Lewis, Director, is a Control Person of GoLabs Research and Development LLC. The note had an outstanding principal balance of $150,000 as of June 30, 2024 and accrued interest of $750.
In May 2024, the Company entered into an unsecured note agreement with a third party in the principal amount of $12,500 together with interest of 6%, with a maturity date of May 31, 2026. The note had an outstanding principal balance of $12,000 as of June 30, 2024 and accrued interest of $63.
In June 2024, the Company entered into an unsecured note agreement with third party in the principal amount of $10,000 together with interest of 6%, with a maturity date of June 28, 2026 The note had an outstanding principal balance of $10,000as of June 30, 2024 and accrued interest of $50.
All notes payable mature during the year ended December 31, 2026.
NOTE 4 – CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The total number of shares of stock which the corporation shall have authority to issue is 110,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 shares with zero par value shall be designated as Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares with zero par value shall be designated as Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock authorized by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation may be issued in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and within the limitations or restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series, to determine the designation and par value of any series and to fix the numbers of shares of any series.
NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is currently not a defendant in any litigation or threatened litigation that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES
The Company has established deferred tax assets and liabilities for the recognition of future deductions or taxable amounts and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred federal and state income tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of the change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year using the currently enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the period in which they are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.
The following is a reconciliation of the applicable federal income tax as computed at the federal statutory tax rate to the actual income taxes reflected in the Statement of Operations for the period from inception (May 22, 2024) to June 30, 2024:
| | June 30, 2024 | |
Tax provision at U.S. federal income tax rate | | | 21.00 | % |
State income tax provision, net of federal | | | 4.35 | % |
Valuation allowance | | | (25.35 | )% |
Provision for income taxes | | | 0.00 | % |
The Company has not recorded any income tax expense or benefit for the period from inception (May 22, 2024) to June 30, 2024.
NOTE 7 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In May 2024, the Company entered into a patent transfer and assignment agreement with the bankruptcy estate of XNK Therapeutics AB (“XNK”), to purchase key patent families and related intellectual property related to a proprietary technology platform and autologous Natural Killer (“NK”) cell therapy drug product. Through a note agreement with a third party discussed in Note 3, Debt, the total consideration paid to XNK was $150,000, which was fully expensed in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development, and is reflected in research and development expense in the accompanying statement of operations for the period from inception (May 22, 2024) to June 30, 2024.
NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has performed a review of all events and transactions occurring after June 30, 2024 through the date the financial statements were available to be issued for items that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements, noting no such items or transactions other than the following:
In August 2024, the Company commenced a private offering of common stock under Regulation D, Rule 506(b) to select accredited and non-accredited but sophisticated investors. The offering consisted of class “A” common stock at $1.00 per share. The Company issued 13,000 shares of common stock for a total purchase amount of $13,000 through the date the financial statements were issued.
