EXPLANATORY
NOTE
Nunzia
Pharmaceutical Company (the “Company”) is filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, Amendment No. 1 (the “Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q/A”) to amend its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018. It must
be noted that this report covered the fiscal years 2010 through December 31, 2018. The Report was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on or about June 11, 2019 (the “Original Report”). The purpose of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q/A is to amend our classification in the cover page of the Original Report wherein the Company was erroneously reported as
a “shell company.” The Company has never been and was not at the time a shell company within the definition of Rule
144. The classification of The Company as a shell company on the Original Report was an error. The remainder of the Original Report,
including the financial statements and supplementary data, remains unchanged except for the inclusion of new certifications required
by Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as required in connection with the filing of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q/A. Notwithstanding the existence of this material weakness, management has concluded that the Company’s
consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as initially
filed on or about June 11, 2019, or in its subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31,
2019, June 30, 2019, and September 30, 2019, as well as the Form 10 filed at year end for 2019, respectively are fairly stated
in all material respects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
We
have made no attempt in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A to modify or update the disclosures presented in the Original Report
other than as noted in the previous paragraph. Except as noted above, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events
occurring after the filing of the Original Report. Accordingly, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction
with the Original Report, and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
subsequent to the filing of the Original Report, including any amendments thereto.
SPECIAL
NOTE ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A contains statements that are, or may be considered to be, forward-looking statements within the
meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements that are not historical facts,
including statements about our beliefs or expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by
such forward-looking terminology as “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “believe,”
“anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “continue,”
“project,” “opportunity,” “predict,” “would,” “potential,” “future,”
“forecast,” “guarantee,” “assume,” “likely,” “target” or similar statements
or variations of such terms.
Our
forward-looking statements are based on a series of expectations, assumptions and projections about our Company and the markets
in which we operate, and are not guarantees of future results or performance, and involve substantial risks and uncertainty, including
assumptions and projections concerning our assets under management, net cash inflows and outflows, operating cash flows and future
credit facilities, for all future periods. All of our forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A,
are as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A only.
We can
give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Actual results may differ materially.
We do not undertake or plan to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans,
assumptions, estimates or projections, or other circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A,
even if such results, changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. If there
are any future public statements or disclosures by us which modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in
or accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, such statements or disclosures will be deemed to modify or supersede such
statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A.
Our
business and our forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including those discussed
under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on February 24,
2014 (the “Form 10-K”), and in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as the following risks and uncertainties:
(a) any reduction in our assets under management; (b) damage to our reputation; (c) our inability to attract and
retain key personnel; (d) the competition we face in our business; (e) adverse regulatory and legal developments; (f) limitations
on our deferred tax assets; (g) changes in key distribution or unaffiliated sub-advisory relationships; (h) interruptions
in service or failure to provide service by third-party service providers; (i) impairment of our goodwill or intangible assets;
(j) lack of availability of required and necessary capital on satisfactory terms; (k) liabilities and losses not covered
by our insurance policies; and (l) certain other risks and uncertainties described in our Form 10-K, as amended, or in any
of our filings with the SEC. Any occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more risk factors or any risks and uncertainties
referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A or included in our Form 10-K or our other periodic reports filed with the
SEC, including any amendments thereto, could materially and adversely affect our operations, financial results, cash flows, prospects
and liquidity.
Certain
other factors which may impact our continuing operations, prospects, financial results and liquidity or which may cause actual
results to differ from such forward-looking statements are discussed or included in the Company’s periodic reports filed
with the SEC and are available on our website at www.virtus.com under “Investor Relations.” You are urged to carefully
consider all such factors.
Item 1. Cover Page. The Company Was Originally Erroneously Classified As A Shell Company.
It must
first be noted that the Company has undergone a name change. The Original Report was filed under the name, Arizona Gold and Onyx
Mining Company. On or about December 3, 2019, the Securities Exchange Commission approved the name change to Nunzia Pharmaceutical
Company. The Nunzia is standing in the place of Arizona Gold and Onyx Mining Company and amending the Original Report under that
name.
In the
Introductory Disclosures / Title Page of the Original Report, the box that asked if the Company was a shell company was erroneously
checked.
The Company
was not, and never has been a shell company under the definition of Rule 144. Specifically, Rule 144(i)(1) defines a shell company
as a company that has:
(A)
No or nominal operations; and
(B)
Either:
-
No or nominal assets;
-
Assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or
-
Assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.
Shell
companies do not include development stage companies pursuing an identified actual business plan (not including acquisitions of
other, unidentified businesses), a business combination related shell company, as defined in Rule 405, or an asset-backed issuer,
as defined in Item 1101(b) of Regulation AB.
Nunzia
(Arizona Gold and Onyx Mining Company) was not a shell company and never has been a shell company:
-
Beyond
the fact that the Company had cash assets, at the time of the Original Report, The Company owned several mining leases, estimated
to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars; and
-
The Company
was a development Company pursuing an identified actual business plan of acquiring the equipment to mine the mining leases.
-
The Company
had entered into an agreement to merge with Cal Biotech. As part of the Agreement, Nunzia received the intellectual property rights
for the drug, Nunzia, and its family of products. The patent for that drug has been evaluated by third parties, and said to be
worth more than a billion dollars.
Clearly,
therefore, the Company was not and could not be considered in anyway a shell company, and it was definitely an error that the
box was checked in the introductory section of the Original Report.
Item
2. No Material Weakness in the Financial Reporting
Subsequent
to the evaluation made in connection with the filing of the Form 10-Q for the years 2010 through December 31, 2018, and filed
on June 11, 2019, management reassessed the validity of the Company’s financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, the
Company’s management identified no material error or misrepresentation related in the Company’s financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in the financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements could not be relied on.
Based on this assessment and the finding that there was no material weakness, management concluded that the Company’s financial
reporting was effective as of March 31, 2019.
Item
3. Remediation Measures
To address
the error made, the Company has fired the person who prepared the Original Report; the Company has designed and implemented new
and enhanced controls to ensure that all reporting is correct and that the appropriate level of precision of the accounting personnel
have the training to ensure they have the relevant expertise related to reporting with the SEC.
We believe
the actions described above will be sufficient to remediate the error that was made and strengthen our internal control over financial
reporting.
