PART III — NARRATIVE

RespireRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Registrant”) was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”) by the March 31, 2022 filing date applicable to smaller reporting companies due to additional time needed to complete and execute an amendment to a certain agreement, that has been negotiated and substantially agreed, but for which executed documents are not yet available. This amendment would result in changes to certain disclosures about the underlying agreement and additional subsequent event disclosures in the Annual Report. In addition, the Board of Directors (acting as the Audit Committee) of the Registrant would need to complete its review of those updated disclosures with the Registrant’s independent registered accounting firm. As a result, the Registrant is still in the process of preparing disclosure and validating information needed to complete the Annual Report and requires additional time to complete the Annual Report. The Registrant intends to file a complete Annual Report as soon as practicable within the extension period of fifteen calendar days provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
