CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-Q are considered forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning our business, results of operations, economic performance and/or financial condition, based on management’s current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and projections. Forward-looking statements are included, for example, in the discussions about:

 

  strategy;
  new product discovery and development;
  current or pending clinical trials;
  our products’ ability to demonstrate efficacy or an acceptable safety profile;
  actions by the FDA and other regulatory authorities;
  product manufacturing, including our arrangements with third-party suppliers;
  product introduction and sales;
  royalties and contract revenues;
  expenses and net income;
  credit and foreign exchange risk management;
  liquidity;
  asset and liability risk management;
  the outcome of litigation and other proceedings;
  intellectual property rights and protection;
  economic factors;
  competition; and
  legal risks.

 

Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Forward- looking statements generally are identified by the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “aims,” “plans,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “will continue,” “seeks,” “should,” “predict,” “potential,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “target,” “forecast,” “probable,” “possible” or the negative of such terms and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to change and may be affected by risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement in light of new information or future events, except as required by law, although we intend to continue to meet our ongoing disclosure obligations under the U.S. securities laws and other applicable laws.

 

We caution you that a number of important factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements, and therefore you should not place too much reliance on them. These factors include, among others, those described herein, under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report and in our other public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, and therefore the factors that are noted are not intended to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties that may affect forward-looking statements. If these or other risks and uncertainties materialize, or if the assumptions underlying any of the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, our actual performance and future actions may be materially different from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward- looking statements. We can offer no assurance that our estimates or expectations will prove accurate or that we will be able to achieve our strategic and operational goals.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

 

  our lack of operating history;
  our inability to keep up with industry competition;
  interpretations of current laws and the passages of future laws;
  acceptance of our business model by investors and our ability to raise capital;

  acceptance of our business model by investors and our ability to raise capital;
  our reliance on key personnel, including our ability to attract and retain scientists;
  our reliance on third party manufacturing to supply drugs for clinical trials and sales;
  our limited distribution organization with no sales and marketing staff;
  our being subject to product liability claims;
  our reliance on key personnel, including our ability to attract and retain scientists;
  legislation or regulation that may increase the cost of our business or limit our service and product offerings;
  risks related to our intellectual property, including our ability to adequately protect intellectual property rights;
  risks related to government regulation, including our ability to obtain approvals for the commercialization of some or all of our drug candidates, and ongoing regulatory obligations and continued regulatory review which may result in significant additional expense and subject us to penalties if we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements; and
  our ability to obtain regulatory approvals in foreign jurisdictions to allow us to market our products internationally.

 

Moreover, new risks regularly emerge and it is not possible for our management to predict or articulate all risks we face, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this prospectus are based on information available to us on the date of this Annual Report. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this Annual Report.

 

JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as

we do not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue and did not have such amount as of December 31, 2018, the last day of our last fiscal year. We are electing to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.

 

As an emerging growth company, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

 

  being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this annual report;
  not being requested to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);
  reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; 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 will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) our reporting $1 billion or more in annual gross revenues; (ii) the end of fiscal year 2019; (iii) our issuance, in a three year period, of more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Immune Therapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Description of Business

 

Immune Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) was initially incorporated in Florida on December 2, 1993 as Resort Clubs International, Inc. (“Resort Clubs”). It was formed to manage and market golf course properties in resort markets throughout the United States. Galliano International Ltd. (“Galliano”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 1998 and began trading in November 1999 through the filing of a 15C-211. On November 10, 2004, Galliano merged with Resort Clubs. Resort Clubs was the surviving corporation. On August 23, 2010, Resort Clubs changed its name to pH Environmental Inc. (“pH Environmental”).

 

On April 23, 2012, pH Environmental completed a name change to TNI BioTech, Inc., and on April 24, 2012, we executed a share exchange agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of TNI BioTech IP, Inc. On September 4, 2014, a majority of our shareholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to change our name to Immune Therapeutics, Inc. We filed our name change amendment with the Secretary of State of Florida on October 27, 2014 changing our name to Immune Therapeutics, Inc.

 

The Company currently operates out of Orlando, Florida. In July 2012, the Company’s focus turned to acquiring patents that would protect and advance the development of new uses of opioid-related immune- therapies, such as low dose naltrexone (“LDN”) and Methionine [Met5]-enkephalin (“MENK”). The Company’s therapies are believed to stimulate and/or regulate the immune system in such a way that they provide the potential to treat a variety of diseases. We believe our therapies may be able to correct abnormalities or deficiencies in the immune system in diseases such as HIV infection, autoimmune disease, immune disorders, or cancer; all of which can lead to disease progression and life-threatening situations when the immune system is not functioning optimally.

 

In October 2012, the Company formed TNI BioTech International, Ltd., a BVI company in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, which was set up to allow the Company to market and sell LDN in those countries outside the U.S. in which we have been able to obtain approval to sell the Company’s products.

 

In August 2013, the Company formed its United Kingdom subsidiary, TNI BioTech, LTD (the “UK Subsidiary”). The UK Subsidiary received approval to be considered a micro, small or medium-sized enterprise (“SME”) with the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) on August 21, 2013. The designation provides the UK Subsidiary with significant discounts when holding meetings or submitting filings to the EMA. On September 19, 2013, the UK Subsidiary submitted a pre-submission package to the EMA regarding Crohn’s Disease. The EMA granted the UK Subsidiary a meeting that took place on September 27, 2013. The UK Subsidiary is eligible to benefit from the provisions for administrative and financial assistance for SMEs set out in Regulation (EC) No 2049/2005. The Company will apply to obtain EMA benefits once funding becomes available.

 

In December 2013, the Company formed a subsidiary, Cytocom Inc. (“Cytocom”), to focus on conducting LDN and MENK clinical trials in the United States. In December 2014, the Company finalized the distribution of common stock of Cytocom to its shareholders. As part of the transaction (“Original Agreement”), the Company transferred to Cytocom certain of its rights, title and interest in or relating to intellectual property (i) patents, patent applications, and all divisional, continuations and continuations-in-part thereof, together with all reissues, reexaminations, renewals and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such divisionals, continuations and continuations-in-part, reissues, reexaminations, renewals and extensions, and all utility models and statutory invention registrations and any other such analogous rights, (ii) trademarks, service marks, Internet domain names, trade dress, trade styles, logos, trade names, services names, brand names, corporate names, assumed business names and general intangibles and other source identifiers of a like nature, together with the goodwill associated with any of the foregoing, and all registrations and applications for registrations thereof, together with all renewals and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such renewals and extensions, (iii) copyrights, mask work rights, database and design rights, moral rights and rights in Internet websites, whether registered or unregistered and whether published or unpublished, all registrations and recordings thereof and all applications in connection therewith, together with all renewals, continuations, reversions and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such renewals, continuations, reversions and extensions, and (iv) confidential and proprietary information, including, trade secrets and know-how.

 

The Original Agreement also granted the Company rights to market Lodonal™ and Met-Enkephalin (“MENK”) in “Emerging Markets,” which included all countries excluding Canada, Italy, Japan, France, Germany, United Kingdom, European Community and the United States. Pursuant to the Original Agreement, the Company was required to pay Cytocom a 5% royalty on all sales all ongoing drug development and fees due in connection with the underlying patents until such time as Cytocom was funded.

 

On December 8, 2014, the number of Cytocom shares of common stock that were issued to our shareholders totaled 113,242,522 shares. In connection with the Original Agreement, Cytocom issued an additional 140,100,000 shares of its common stock to the Company, which gave the Company a 55.3% stake in Cytocom on that date. In April 2016, the Board of Directors and a majority of shareholders of Cytocom approved a reverse stock split of Cytocom’s outstanding common stock with one new share of stock for each twenty old shares of common stock. Cytocom effectuated and finalized the reverse split in June 2016.

On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated licensing agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) with Cytocom. The Restated Agreement restates the licensing arrangement between the Company and Cytocom as provided by the Original Agreement. The Restated Agreement grants the Company distribution and marketing rights for Lodonal™ and MENK for humans in Emerging Markets. In addition, the Company has been granted the rights to distribute and market Lodonal™ and MENK for animal use in the United States. The royalty due to Cytocom has been reduced from 5% to 1% of sales and the Company no longer has any ongoing obligations to pay for costs in connection with the assets of Cytocom.

 

On June 4, 2018, the Company and Cytocom entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Agreement. Pursuant to the Stock Agreement, the Company cancelled approximately $4,000,000 of debt owed to it by Cytocom in exchange for ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of Cytocom, as calculated on a fully diluted basis. The Restated Agreement was a condition of the Stock Agreement.

 

At June 30, 2019, the Company’s equity interest in Cytocom stood at 15.26% of Cytocom’s common stock issued and outstanding on that date. The Company’s policies with respect to accounting for its equity interest in Cytocom is described in Note 2 to the “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” below (“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Non-Controlling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries”).

 

On April 8, 2019, the Company signed a second amendment to its licensing agreement (the “Second Amendment” with Cytocom. The Second Amendment confirmed that, as of its effective date (December 31, 2018) the Company owned 15.57% of the common shares issued and outstanding on that date. The Company agreed to assume the obligation to repay all accounts payable obligations and accrued liabilities owed by Cytocom as of the effective date, except those accounts’ payable obligations and accrued liabilities as specified in the Second Amendment. The Company also assumed the obligation to repay all notes payable, together with any interest or fees payable thereon, owed by Cytocom as of the effective date, except those notes’ payable obligations, together with any interest or fees payable thereon, as specified by the Second Amendment. The parties further agreed that in the event of a change of control of Cytocom, and at the option of Cytocom, the Company would have the right to purchase outright the Company’s licensing rights to Emerging Markets for humans under the License Agreement at a price equal to value of those licensing rights as determined by and independent valuator acceptable to the Company and Cytocom.

 

In March 2014, the Company incorporated Airmed Biopharma Limited, an Irish corporation with an address in Dublin, Ireland, and Airmed Holdings Limited, an Irish company domiciled in Bermuda. The Irish companies were set up to benefit from incentives granted by the Irish government for the establishment of pharmaceutical companies (many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies have located in Ireland), and so that the Company could take advantage of Ireland’s status as a member of the European Union and the European Economic Area. An Irish limited liability company enjoys a low corporate income tax rate of 12.5%, one of the lowest in the world. The Irish-domiciled company hopes to qualify for tax incentives for Irish holding/headquartered companies and to benefit from the network of double tax treaties that reduce withholding taxes. TNI BioTech International, Ltd. will manage our international distribution, using product that is manufactured in Ireland and elsewhere.

 

At present, the Company is a late development-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the licensing, development and commercialization of innovative prescription medications for humans in Africa, Central and South America, the Caribbean and China (hereinafter referred to as “Emerging Markets”) and worldwide for animals and companion pet therapeutics. The Company is not permitted to market its licensed products in the United States.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred significant net losses since inception and has relied on its ability to fund its operations through private equity financings. Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue at more significant levels in the future. As the Company continues to incur losses, transition to profitability is dependent upon the successful development, approval, and commercialization of its product candidate and the achievement of a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company may never achieve profitability, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional cash. Management intends to fund future operations through additional private or public debt or equity offerings and may seek additional capital through arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources. Based on the Company’s operating plan, existing working capital at June 30, 2019 was not sufficient to meet the cash requirements to fund planned operations through for the next 12 months without additional sources of cash. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company experienced a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1,534,118 and added cash and cash equivalents for operations in the amount of $15,538 during the 6 months ended June 30, 2019, resulting in stockholders’ deficit of $12,529,322 at that date.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018 (including the notes thereto) set forth in Form 10- K.

 

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of its results of operations. The Company’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with the Company’s Board of Directors. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout this section where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

 

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we do not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018. We are electing to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.

 

Non-Controlling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries

 

Prior to May 1, 2018, the Company consolidated Cytocom. On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated licensing agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) with Cytocom, Inc., in accordance with which the Company no longer has any ongoing obligations to pay for costs in connection with the assets of Cytocom. On June 4, 2018, the Company and Cytocom entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Agreement”). Pursuant to the Stock Agreement, the Company cancelled approximately $4,000,000 of debt owed to it by Cytocom in exchange for ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of Cytocom, as calculated on a fully diluted basis on June 4, 2018. At June 30, 2019, the Company’s equity interest in Cytocom stood at 15.26% of Cytocom’s common stock issued and outstanding. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated Cytocom as of May 1, 2018, and accounts for its retained interest in Cytocom under the equity method of accounting, with the Company’s share of Cytocom’s earnings recorded in “loss from equity method investment” in the consolidated statements of operations. As the balance of the Company’s investment in Cytocom has been $0 since December 31, 2018, no losses have been recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue on sales to customers and distributors upon satisfaction of our performance obligations when the goods are shipped. For consignment sales, we recognize revenue when the goods are pulled from consignment inventory.

 

Sales of LodonalTM pills or capsules product are included in revenue when production is sold to a customer in fulfillment of performance obligations under the terms of agreed contracts. Performance obligations primarily comprise delivery of product at a delivery point, as negotiated within each contract. Each quantity of product sold is separately identifiable and represents a distinct performance obligation to which the transaction price is allocated. Performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time once control of the product has been transferred to the customer. The Company considers a variety of facts and circumstances in assessing the point of control transfer, including but not limited to: whether the purchaser can direct the use of the product, the transfer of significant risks and rewards, the Company’s right to payment, and transfer of legal title. In each case, the time between delivery and when payments are due is not significant.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires all leases that have a term of over 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and ‘the corresponding right-of-use asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs for a financing lease will be disaggregated and recognized as both an operating expense (for the amortization of the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for interest on the lease liability). On January 1, 2019, the Company applied ASU 842 on a modified retrospective basis to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. At June 30, 2019, we had no leases that fall within the scope of this standard. Accordingly, the standard has no impact on our consolidated financial position or our results of operations.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include bank demand deposits, marketable securities with maturities of three months or less at purchase, and money market funds that invest primarily in certificates of deposits, commercial paper and U.S. government and U.S. government agency obligations. Cash equivalents are reported at fair value .

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents. The Company is exposed to credit risk, subject to federal deposit insurance, in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents to the extent of amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cash accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At June 30, 2019, the Company has no cash balances in excess of insured limits.

 

Segment and Geographic Information

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment and does not segment the business for internal reporting or decision making.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

In accordance with the reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. Cash, cash equivalents and accounts payable are accounted for at cost which approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of notes payable also approximate fair value since they bear market rates of interest and other terms. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements requires bifurcation of certain embedded derivative instruments in certain debt or equity instruments, and measurement at their fair value for accounting purposes. A holder redemption feature embedded in the Company’s note payable requires bifurcation from its host instrument and is accounted for as a freestanding derivative.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories comprise finished product, raw materials and materials used for packaging. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost based on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory that can be used in either the production of clinical or commercial products is expensed as research and development costs when identified for use in a clinical trials or clinical manufacturing campaigns. Inventory used in marketing activities is charged to selling, general and administrative expense.

 

Inventory as of June 30, 2019 was valued at $0, a decrease of $158,648 or 100% from the inventory balance at the end of June 2018, as the inventory was deemed obsolete and written off as a result.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged against expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $691 and $433, respectively.

 

13
 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable as prescribed by ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” If the carrying amount of the asset, including any intangible assets associated with that asset, exceeds its estimated undiscounted net cash flow, before interest, the Company will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between its carrying amount and its estimated fair value.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and are typically comprised of salaries and benefits, pre-clinical studies, clinical trial activities, drug development and manufacturing, fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf and third-party service fees, including clinical research organizations and investigative sites. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trials are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations, or information provided by vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected in the financial statements as operating expenses.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

The standard addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC Topic 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax uncertainties.

 

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2019, and 2018, the Company has not accrued any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

Stock-Based Compensation and Issuance of Stock for Non-Cash Consideration

 

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values equaling either the market value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable. The majority of the non-cash consideration pertains to services rendered by consultants and others and has been valued at the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of the agreement.

 

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” 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.

 

Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

 

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of common stock purchase warrants and options outstanding. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position

 

The Company’s potential dilutive securities which include warrants (as described in Note 8 to the Financial Statements – “Capital Structure – Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants”) and convertible debt (as described in Note 6 to the Financial Statements – “Notes Payable”), have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share.

 

14
 

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. 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 consolidated financial statements.

 

3. Fixed Assets

 

    June 30, 2019     December 31, 2018  
Fixed Assets:                
Computer equipment   $ 13,213     $ 13,213  
Less accumulated depreciation     (11,138 )     (10,447 )
Fixed assets, net   $ 2,075     $ 2,766  

 

The Company utilizes the straight-line method for depreciation, using three to five-year depreciable asset lives. Depreciation expense was not material for all periods presented.

 

4. Investments: Deconsolidation of Cytocom

 

In accordance with the May 1, 2018 “Restated Agreement” with Cytocom, the Company no longer has any ongoing obligations to pay for costs in connection with the assets of Cytocom. Accordingly, effective May 1, 2018, the Company deconsolidated Cytocom. However, the Company exercises influence through its retained equity interest and through representation on Cytocom’s board of directors. As a result, the Company uses the equity method to account for its retained interest in Cytocom.

 

On May 1, 2018, the Company recorded an equity method investment in Cytocom of $1,189, the par value of Cytocom common stock multiplied by the number of shares owned by the Company, due to the negative equity associated with Cytocom’s underlying financial position. As a result of the continuing losses in Cytocom, the balance of this investment is currently $0.

 

At June 30, 2019, Cytocom had no significant assets or income.

7 . Derivative Liabilities

 

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 the aggregate fair value of the outstanding derivative liability was $908,873 and $786,706, respectively. The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following key assumption during the quarter June 30, 2019:

 

   

Three months ended

June 30, 2019

 
Volatility     209.43 %
Risk-free interest rate     1.92 %
Expected dividends     - %
Expected term     1 year  

 

The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company uses Level 3 inputs to estimate the fair value of its derivative liabilities.

The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2019:

9 . Stock Compensation

 

Shares Issued for Services

 

During the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company issued 0 and 375,000 shares of common stock respectively for consulting fees. The Company valued these shares at $0 and $125,899 respectively, based upon the fair value of the common stock at the dates of the agreements. The consulting fees are amortized over the contract periods, which are typically between 12 and 24 months. The amortization of prepaid services totaled $0 and $101,667 for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

10. Income Taxes – Results of Operations

 

There was no income tax expense reflected in the results of operations for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 because the Company incurred a net loss in both years.

 

On December 22, 2018, the President of the United States signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Reform”), which enacts a wide range of changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system. The impact of U.S. Tax Reform primarily represents the Company’s estimates of revaluing the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to be recognized in the future. For U.S. federal purposes the corporate statutory income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21%, effective for the 2018 tax year.

 

The Company has recognized no tax benefit for the losses generated for the periods through June 30, 2019. ASC Topic 740 requires that a valuation allowance be provided if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company’s ability to realize the benefit of its deferred tax asset will depend on the generation of future taxable income. Because the Company has yet to recognize revenue, we believe that the full valuation allowance should be provided.

 

Our effective tax rate for fiscal years 2019 and 2018 was 0%. Our tax rate can be affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amount of income we earn in jurisdictions. It may also be affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but are not consistent from year to year.

 

11. Licenses and Supply Agreements

 

Patent and Subsidiary Acquisition

 

In December 2014, the Company transferred to Cytocom certain of its rights, title and interest in or relating to intellectual property (i) patents, patent applications, and all divisional, continuations and continuations-in-part thereof, together with all reissues, reexaminations, renewals and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such divisionals, continuations and continuations-in-part, reissues, reexaminations, renewals and extensions, and all utility models and statutory invention registrations and any other such analogous rights, (ii) trademarks, service marks, Internet domain names, trade dress, trade styles, logos, trade names, services names, brand names, corporate names, assumed business names and general intangibles and other source identifiers of a like nature, together with the goodwill associated with any of the foregoing, and all registrations and applications for registrations thereof, together with all renewals and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such renewals and extensions, (iii) copyrights, mask work rights, database and design rights, moral rights and rights in Internet websites, whether registered or unregistered and whether published or unpublished, all registrations and recordings thereof and all applications in connection therewith, together with all renewals, continuations, reversions and extensions thereof and all rights to obtain such renewals, continuations, reversions and extensions, and (iv) confidential and proprietary information, including, trade secrets and know-how. Cytocom licensed back to the Company a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the assigned intellectual property for veterinary indications and for the marketing rights to emerging markets, access to all clinical data, use of the formulation for LDN and MENK.

 

19
 

 

The Original Agreement also granted the Company rights to market Lodonal™ and Met-Enkephalin (“MENK”) in “Emerging Markets,” which included all countries excluding Canada, Italy, Japan, France, Germany, United Kingdom, European Community and the United States. Pursuant to the Original Agreement, the Company was required to pay Cytocom a 5% royalty on all sales all ongoing drug development and fees due in connection with the underlying patents until such time as Cytocom was funded.

 

On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated licensing agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) with Cytocom. The Restated Agreement restates the licensing arrangement between the Company and Cytocom as provided by the Original Agreement. The Restated Agreement grants the Company distribution and marketing rights for Lodonal™ and MENK for humans in Emerging Markets. In addition, the Company has been granted the rights to distribute and market Lodonal™ and MENK for animal use in the United States. The royalty due to Cytocom has been reduced from 5% to 1% of sales and the Company no longer has any ongoing obligations to pay for the cost in connection with the assets of Cytocom.

 

12. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Distribution Agreements in Nigeria

 

In October 2013, the Company announced the signing of a Distribution Agreement with AHAR Pharma, a Nigerian company, to market Lodonal™, in Nigeria for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer. AHAR intends to distribute Lodonal™ through a local distributor network, an Internet client base and directly to hospitals, pharmacists and doctors in Nigeria. The first deliveries under the agreement took place in February 2018. Under the original agreement, the Company is obligated to provide delivery of an initial supply of between 1 million and 1.5 million doses of Lodonal™ product to cover AHAR Pharma’s first-year purchase commitment. Due to the fact that AHAR Pharma failed to meet its contractual purchase obligations, the Company formally issued notice of default under the agreement.

 

On April 18, 2018, AHAR Pharma transferred its rights under the Distribution Agreement to Fidson Healthcare Plc (“Fidson”), and Fidson signed an exclusive distribution agreement with the Company to distribute Lodonal™. There were no shipments under this agreement in the first half of 2019.

 

Contract Manufacturing Agreements

 

On October 25, 2016, the Company and Acromax Dominicana, SA (“Acromax”), which is based in the Dominican Republic, entered into a contract for manufacturing of LDN tablets, capsules and/or creams (“Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Acromax will obtain all necessary licenses and permits to carry out the manufacturing and packaging of LDN in exchange for a fixed fee per tablet plus an additional fee for packaging, shipping and customs clearance. The Agreement has an initial term of five years unless terminated by either party in accordance with the terms.

 

Operating Leases

 

At June 30, 2019, the Company was a party to an agreement to lease office space in Orlando, Florida. Rental expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $2,162 and $4,451 respectively.

    For the three months ended
June 30,
 
    2019     2018  
Stock listing and investor relations expenses   $ 6     $ 17

  consulting and contractor services obtained to assist the Company in raising capital, manage investor relations, and develop business in new markets, in the amount of $42 in 2019, a decrease of $322 or 88% over the $364 spent in 2018. The decrease was the result primarily of the expiration of certain consulting contracts by the end of 2018, and the deconsolidation of Cytocom in May 2018, which eliminated a number of consulting contracts from the Company’s books thereafter;  

 

21
 

 

  professional fees for legal, tax and accounting services in the amount of $37 in 2019, a decrease of $18 or 32% over the $55 spent in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the deconsolidation of Cytocom in May 2018, which eliminated Cytocom’s legal fees from the Company’s books thereafter; and
     
  payroll in the amount of $235 in 2019, a decrease of $379 or 62% over the $614 spent in 2018. The decrease reflects the deconsolidation of Cytocom in May 2018, which eliminated Cytocom’s payroll costs from the Company’s books thereafter; and

 

Research and development

 

R&D expenses and related percentages for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

Percent increase/(decrease) from prior year     (100 )%     (57 )%

 

Expenses for research and development in the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by 100% compared to expenses in the same period in 2018. The decrease was due to the deconsolidation of Cytocom in May 2018, which eliminated Cytocom’s R&D expenses from the Company’s books thereafter.

 

Stock issued for services

 

The Company periodically receives services from consultants under long-term consulting contracts, in terms of which it issues stock to prepay for the services. In such cases, the Company initially accounts for the full cost of these services as Prepaid Services on its balance sheet, calculated by the number of shares issued multiplied by the share price on the contract date. This amount is then amortized as a cost over the period in which the services are provided to the Company. The Company reports these costs separately from Selling, general and administrative costs, and Research and development costs, to better demonstrate the true costs of Selling, general and administrative activities, and Research and development.

 

Amortization of amounts recorded as Prepaid Services for stock issued for services G&A and related percentages for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

    For the three months ended
June 30,
 
    2019     2018  
Amortization of prepaid consulting expense G&A   $ -     $ 102  
Percentage decrease from prior year     (100 )%     (83 )%

 

The decline in expense reflects the fact that the cost of shares issued for services had been fully amortized in prior years.

 

The number of shares issued for prepaid consulting services G&A in the three months ending June 30, 2019 was 0 (375,000 in the corresponding period in 2018).

 

There were no prepaid consulting services G&A in the three months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Warrant valuation expense

 

When the Company sells its stock for cash or settles debt for stock, it periodically issues warrants to acquire additional stock at prices agreed at the date of the original sale. The Company incurs a cost for the rights attached to the warrants, which is calculated using the Black-Scholes Model (see above 8. Capital Structure—Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants.) This expense is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations above as the Warrant valuation expense.

 

In the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 10,000,000 warrants to stockholders at an exercise price of $0.005, for which it recorded a debt discount of $50,000.

 

In the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued 19,510,818 warrants to stockholders at an exercise price range of $0.01 to $3.74, for which it recorded an expense of $40,000.

Depreciation and amortization

 

The Company amortizes the costs incurred to acquire patents and licenses over the period of the related agreements. All of the Company’s patents and licenses had been fully amortized by December 31, 2018.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

    2019     2018  
Interest expense   $ 157     $ 242  
Increase / (Decrease) from prior year   $ (85 )   $ 114  
Percentage Increase (Decrease) from prior year     (35 )%     89 %

 

The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to (i) the deconsolidation of Cytocom in May 2018, which eliminated Cytocom’s notes payable and related interest expense from the books thereafter, and (ii) to the conversion in 2018 of certain notes payable for common stock of the Company.

 

Loss of settlement of debt

 

In three months ended June 30, 2019, there was no gain or loss on settlement by lenders or vendors of any of their notes or accounts payable by converting them to equity.

In the six months ended June 30, 2019, total cash and cash accruals for selling, general and administrative expense was $984 compared to $1,758 for the corresponding period in 2018, a decrease of $774 or 44%. Significant items included:

 

  consulting and contractor services obtained to assist the Company in raising capital, manage investor relations, and develop business in new markets, in the amount of $126 in 2019, a decrease of $381 or 75% over the $507 spent in 2018. The decrease was the result primarily of the expiration of certain consulting contracts by the end of 2018, and the deconsolidation of Cytocom in May 2018, which eliminated a number of consulting contracts from the Company’s books thereafter; and 
     
  professional fees for legal, tax and accounting services in the amount of $74 in 2019, a decrease of $28 or 27% over the $102 spent in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the deconsolidation of Cytocom in May 2018, which eliminated Cytocom’s legal fees from the Company’s books thereafter;
     
  payroll in the amount of $470 in 2019, a decrease of $465 or 50% over the $935 spent in 2018. The decrease reflects the deconsolidation of Cytocom in May 2018, which eliminated Cytocom’s payroll costs from the Company’s books thereafter; and
     
  travel in the amount of $2 in 2019, a decrease of $42 or 96% over the $44 spent in 2018, reflecting decreased travel for investor relations and international sales in 2019, and also the elimination of Cytocom-related travel expenses due to deconsolidation of Cytocom in May 2018 thereafter; and

 

Research and development

 

R&D expenses and related percentages for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

    For the six months ended
June 30,
 
    2019     2018  
Research and development   $ -     $ 186  
Increase/ (decrease) from prior year   $ (186 )   $ (67 )
Percent increase/(decrease) from prior year     (100 )%     (26 )%

 

Expenses for research and development in the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $186 or 100% compared to expenses in the same period in 2018. The decrease was due to the deconsolidation of Cytocom in May 2018, which eliminated Cytocom’s R&D expenses from the Company’s books thereafter.

 

Stock issued for services

 

The Company periodically receives services from consultants under long-term consulting contracts, in terms of which it issues stock to prepay for the services. In such cases, the Company initially accounts for the full cost of these services as Prepaid Services on its balance sheet, calculated by the number of shares issued multiplied by the share price on the contract date. This amount is then amortized as a cost over the period in which the services are provided to the Company. The Company reports these costs separately from Selling, general and administrative costs, and Research and development costs, to better demonstrate the true costs of Selling, general and administrative activities, and Research and development.

 

Amortization of amounts recorded as Prepaid Services for stock issued for services G&A and related percentages for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

    For the six months ended
June 30,
 
    2019     2018  
Amortization of prepaid consulting expense G&A   $ -     $ 227  
Percentage decrease from prior year     (100 )%     (79 )%

 

24
 

 

The decline in expense reflects the decrease in the price of the Company’s stock year over year and the fact that the cost of shares issued for services had been fully amortized in prior years.

 

The number of shares issued for prepaid consulting services G&A in the six months ending June 30, 2019 was 0 (3,238,640 in the corresponding period in 2018).

 

There were no Prepaid consulting services G&A in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Warrant valuation expense

 

When the Company sells its stock for cash or settles debt for stock, it periodically issues warrants to acquire additional stock at prices agreed at the date of the original sale. The Company incurs a cost for the rights attached to the warrants, which is calculated using the Black-Scholes Model (see above 8. Capital Structure—Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants.) This expense is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations above as the Warrant valuation expense.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 14,600,000 warrants to stockholders at an exercise price of $0.005, for which it recorded a debt discount of $73,000.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued 61,070,636 warrants to stockholders at an exercise price range of $0.01 to $3.74, for which it recorded an expense of $165,000.

 

    For the six months ended
June 30,
 
    2019     2018  
Warrant valuation expense   $ 73     $ 165  
Percentage increase/(decrease) from prior year     (56 )%     (48 )%

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

The Company amortizes the costs incurred to acquire patents and licenses over the period of the related agreements. All of the Company’s patents and licenses had been fully amortized by December 31, 2018.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

    For the six months ended
June 30,
 
    2019     2018  
Depreciation expense   $ -     $ 1  
Amortization expense   $ -     $ -  
Increase/ (decrease) from prior year   $ (1 )   $ 1  
Percentage increase/(decrease) from prior year     (100 )%     100 %

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

    For the six months ended
June 30,
 
    2019     2018  
Interest expense   $ 272     $ 462  
Decrease from prior year   $ (190 )   $ (242 )
Percentage decrease from prior year     (41 )%     (34 )%

 

The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to (i) the deconsolidation of Cytocom in May 2018, which eliminated Cytocom’s notes payable and related interest expense from the books thereafter, and (ii) to the conversion in 2018 of certain notes payable for common stock of the Company.

Loss on settlement of debt

 

In six months ended June 30, 2019, there was no gain or loss on settlement by lenders or vendors of any of their notes or accounts payable by converting them to equity. In six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a loss of $18, reflecting the fair value of the shares of common stock issued in exchange for the debt in that period.

 

Liquidity

 

Liquidity is measured by our ability to secure enough cash to meet our contractual and operating needs as they arise. We do not anticipate generating sufficient net positive cash flows from our operations to fund the next twelve months. We had cash of $21,397 at June 30, 2019, compared to $0 at June 30, 2018.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, net cash used in operating activities from operations was $(15,538) and $870,087, respectively.

 

$0 of cash was used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 ($13,601 in 2018).

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 proceeds from the sale of stock and exercise of stock warrants totaled $0 compared to $240,500 for the corresponding period in 2018. We also received $0 from the issuance of notes payable in six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $628,470 in 2018. There were $0 of loan repayments made in cash in the six months ended June 30, 2019 ($0 in 2018).

 

The Company does not expect to generate revenues from sales in the second half of 2019. If the Company is unable to raise additional working capital to meet all of its operating obligations and expenditures, the Company may have to modify its business plan.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we did not engage in any off balance sheet arrangements as defined in item 303(a)(4) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K.

Not Applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, because of the weakness in internal controls over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019, using the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this assessment, our management concluded that, as of June 30, 2019, the internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. The reportable conditions and material weakness relate to a limited segregation of duties and lack of an audit committee. The limited segregation of duties within our company and the lack of an audit committee are due to the small number of employees. Management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. This material weakness could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. In addition, due to limited staffing, we are not always able to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting.

 

Going forward, management anticipates that additional staff will be necessary to mitigate these weaknesses, as well as to implement other planned improvements. Additional staff will enable us to document and apply transactional and periodic controls procedures, permit a better review and approval process and improve quality of financial reporting. However, the potential addition of new staff is contingent on obtaining additional financing, and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
