EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2020 (the “Original Filing”), is being filed to correct an administrative error in the Original Filing. The Original Filing inadvertently failed to print the conformed signature of Plante & Moran, PLLC on the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (the “Audit Report”). The Company had received the manually signed Audit Report from Plante & Moran, PLLC prior to filing the Original Filing.

 

This Amendment is being filed to add “/s/ Plante & Moran, PLLC” to the Audit Report, and to move the Emphasis of Matter paragraph in the Audit Report to follow the Opinion on the Financial Statements paragraph. This Amendment includes Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplemental Data” in its entirety and without change from the Original Filing other than the addition of the conformed signature of Plante & Moran, PLLC and rearrangement of paragraphs in the Audit Report.

 

In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the exhibit list included in Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Filing has been amended to contain currently-dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are filed as exhibits to this Amendment.

 

Except for the foregoing amended information, this Amendment does not amend or update any other information contained in the Original Filing. Therefore, this Amendment should be read together with other documents that the Company has filed with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing. Information in such reports and documents updates and supersedes certain information contained in the Original Filing.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. and Subsidiary


Opinion on the Financial Statements


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Emphasis of Matter


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated significant revenue and suffered recurring losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 13. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


Basis for Opinion


The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 audits, 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 audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018



Note 1: Business Activity


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


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


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


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


Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


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


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


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


Investments: The Company’s short-term investments are comprised of equity securities and are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices of the securities at December 31, 2019 and 2018. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are included in net earnings. For purpose of determining realized gains and losses, the cost of securities sold is based on specific identification.


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




F-7



Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018



Long-Lived Assets: The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. An impairment loss is measured and recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. No asset impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.


Intangible Assets: Intangible assets include acquired research in progress and patents on the Company’s core technology for gene identification. Patents are amortized over their expected useful life of 20 years using the straight-line method. Acquired research in progress is an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the development is complete at which time the useful life of the asset will be assigned. Costs incurred to renew intangible assets are expensed in the period incurred, while costs incurred to extend the lives of patents are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the asset. Intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any intangible assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated discounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. No impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Realization of this asset is dependent upon the successful completion of the Company’s research and development efforts.


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


Grant revenue, which is not within the scope of Topic 606, consists of funding under cost reimbursement programs primarily from federal and non-profit foundation sources for qualified research and development activities performed by us, and as such, are not based on estimates that are susceptible to change. Such amounts are invoiced and recorded as revenue as grant-funded activities are performed.


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


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


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


The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services received follows the provisions of ASC Topic 505-50. Accordingly, the measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018



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


Net Loss Per Common Share: Basic net (loss) income per common share excludes any dilutive effects of equity instruments. We compute basic net (loss) income per common share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We compute diluted net (loss) income per common share using the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. For the year ended December 31, 2019, common stock equivalents including 577,063 shares of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock, 102,860 shares of Series A-2 convertible preferred stock, options for 1,081,667 shares of common stock and warrants for 110,884 shares of common stock were excluded because their effect was anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2018, common stock equivalents including 577,063 shares of convertible preferred stock, options for 566,667 shares of common stock and warrants for 110,884 shares of common stock were excluded because their effect was anti-dilutive.


Subsequent Events: The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date of this filing.


Note 3: New Accounting Standards


Recently Adopted Accounting Standards


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


In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. ASU 2017-11 which changes the accounting for equity instruments that include a down round feature. For public entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


Recently Issued Accounting Standards


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires entities to estimate all expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The updated guidance also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating expected credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument from the date of initial recognition of that instrument. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period and did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 4: Fair Value Measurements


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




F-9



Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018



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


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


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


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


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


The following table presents the Company’s financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

For the Company’s Level 1 measures, which represent common stock in publicly traded companies, fair value is based on the last closing trade occurring on, or closest to, the respective period end date. The carrying value of financial instruments, including cash, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximates their fair value at December 31, 2019 and 2018 due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company expects to recognize $2,602 of amortization expense related to its patents during each of the next five years and the remaining $5,986 thereafter. Amortization expense for the patents during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $2,602 and $2,602, respectively.


In its merger completed on October 19, 2015, the Company acquired research in progress. The value of the acquired research in progress was based upon several factors including, evaluation of other intangible assets, the purchase price, estimated future cash flows, and the amounts expended on the research to date. Acquired research in progress is an indefinite lived intangible asset until the development phase is complete, at which time a useful life of the asset will be determined. The research in progress was the identification and validation of genes to provide pest and disease resistance to plants performed by EG I, LLC. The research had been in process since November 2010 and the Company expects to complete the research and place this asset in service in the second quarter of 2020. Additional costs to complete the research are expected to be approximately $136,000, which will be expensed as incurred. The timing and cost of additional research may vary from these estimates as the success of the research is subject to many factors outside of the Company’s control. If this research is not completed within a reasonable timeframe or within estimated costs, future licensing revenue and the financial condition of the Company could be significantly impacted.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a Federal corporate rate reduction from the maximum rate of 35% to 21%; limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation; eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; changing the rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2018; and, the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system.


The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. 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 reverse.


The Company records a valuation allowance for certain temporary differences for which it is more likely than not that it will not receive future tax benefits. The Company assesses its past earnings history and trends and projections of future net income. The Company recorded a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2019 and 2018. The change in the valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was an increase of $198,000 and $271,000, respectively. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company maintained net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $7,839,000 and $7,140,000. Use of NOL carryforwards are limited by the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. At this point, the Company has not performed an analysis to determine whether an ownership change (as defined under Section 382) occurred during this year or preceding years. A determination of the potential impact these provisions might have on the utilization of net operating losses will be made when the net operating loss is projected to be utilized. The NOL carryforwards expire at various intervals through 2037, except the NOL for the years beginning after December 31, 2017, which have no expiration date. In addition, the Company has R&D credits of $329,000 that will expire at various intervals through 2039.


The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations. ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits. At this time, the Company does not have any uncertain tax positions to assess.

Note 9: Stock-Based Compensation


The Company grants stock-based instruments under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) for which 1,400,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock has been reserved. The Plan allows for the issuance of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options with a maximum contractual term of 10 years. Shares and options that are cancelled reload in the Plan for future issuance. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded compensation costs for incentive stock options of $55,828 and $98,577, respectively. Stock options are generally issued with an exercise price at or above the estimated per-share value of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company granted options for 640,000 shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019 and none in the year ended December 31, 2018.


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

Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies


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


Lease Commitments: The Company leases its operating facility and pays its rent in monthly installments. The lease was renewed in June 2016 for a period of twelve months and monthly rentals for the period of July 1, 2016 through December 31, 2019 are $2,378 per month which continues on a month-to-month basis. There is no minimum lease commitment as of December 31, 2019. Renewals after June 30, 2017 are by mutual agreement. The Company’s rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $28,535 and $26,157, respectively.


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


The Company is obligated to pay royalties to the United Soybean Board of 10% of the sale of products derived from the soybean genes that were the subject of the research performed by the Contractor or from royalties received by the Company from the sale of products by a third party not to exceed 150% of the total amount paid to the Contractor under this Agreement. The Company has recognized to date grant revenue from the contract of $262,400 as of December 31, 2019, thus limiting any future royalties as of December 31, 2019 to a total of $393,600. The Company has not accrued or paid any royalties under the terms of the Agreement as of and during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 because it has not received any revenue from the sale of products to date.

Note 11: Related Parties and Transactions


Steve B. Warnecke: Mr. Warnecke is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and owns, directly or indirectly, 1,932,088 shares or 29.9% of the Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019.


Note 12: Concentrations


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


Note 13: Liquidity and Going Concern


Sources of funding to meet prospective cash requirements include the Company’s existing cash balances and investments along with grant funds. As of December 31, 2019 we had $45,441 in our bank accounts, $6,845 of receivables under our grant agreement and $41,694 of trading securities. This will not be enough to pay for our expenses for the year ending December 31, 2020 without any additional revenue from grants or licensing revenue or additional capital infusions. We expect to market our soybean genes and our banana genes in 2020 which may lead to revenue. We have flexibility to reduce operating costs and also to delay research projects. We will require additional capital to complete our projects. These factors create substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
