PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 

Overview

 

We are a drug discovery and development company researching two core technologies: Targeted Peptide Technology, or TPT, which is currently our main focus, and Metabolic Disruption Technology, or MDT, which is our secondary focus.

 

Our research indicates that our TPT therapies may be useful in treating autoimmune diseases, or diseases that trigger the body’s immune system when doing so is not necessary. Certain molecular patterns displayed on the surface of all cells allow the immune system to distinguish the body’s own cells, or self-cells, from foreign cells, or non-self-cells, as well as to distinguish between healthy cells and infected cells. When a given cell displays a non-self-molecular pattern, that pattern alerts the immune system to the presence of pathogen(s) and provides an identity of the pathogen(s). This recognition of foreign markers initiates an immune response: acute inflammation followed by targeted destruction of invaders and of compromised self-cells. When non-infected, healthy self-cells are inappropriately targeted by the immune system, the resulting conditions, effects, and symptoms are termed chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Current therapies that combat these immune disorders generally focus on eliminating pro-inflammatory cells and/or their pro-inflammatory signals. Such therapies may be non-specific and immunosuppressive, weakening a patient’s ability to fight secondary infections. We believe we have produced a peptide, which is a small segment of protein that may selectively eliminate certain pro-inflammatory immune system cells that play a key role in inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Our TPT therapy, which uses this peptide, requires significant additional work before the commencement of clinical trials, including favorable animal toxicity study results and then regulatory review and approval of protocols. We believe TPT could potentially be a significant discovery for patients who battle the symptoms of these largely untreatable autoimmune diseases.

 

Additionally, we have one drug research program in clinical stage, which is a MDT therapy that helps, in combination with other drugs, to fight cancers with solid tumors in situations where the cancer is resistant to the initial cancer drug therapy. Our MDT trial was initially for ovarian cancer, but has since expanded to include other solid tumors, including those located in the breast, colon, liver, lung, and pancreas. Currently, we do not have sufficient funding to complete this work and plan to seek additional funding.

 

Our research and development programs are based on technology that was developed by Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers, for which we have an exclusive license, while working at the University of Colorado, the University of Vermont, and Texas A&M University. Through Dr. Rogers and the universities for whom she has worked, we have collaborated with:

 

  · Stanford University on the role of invariant chain, a peptide chain important for antigen presentation in specific immunity, in CLIP presentation and in inflammatory processes, the defense of the body from perceived non-self-cells as a general concept, from October 2013 to present;

 

  · Scott & White Healthcare Center on pre-eclampsia and high blood pressure from March 2010 to present; and

 

  · Texas A&M University on multiple sclerosis from September 2014 to present, on pre-eclampsia from June 2013 to present, and traumatic brain injury from January 2013 to present.

History of Our Technology

 

Prior to our acquisition of Viral Genetics in 2001, Viral Genetics had acquired the right to use certain technology, called Thymus Nuclear Protein, or TNP, through license agreements. Viral Genetics believed TNP to be useful in ameliorating HIV/AIDS, autoimmune conditions and immunological deficiency. Viral Genetics stopped studying TNP in 2007 when we entered into agreements with the University of Colorado, Dr. Newell Rogers, Texas A&M University and Scott & White Healthcare related to the licensing of TPT. We believe Dr. Newell Rogers’s work provides the scientific theory and explanation of the biological mechanism behind TNP and pointed the direction for developing other autoimmune applications that had been indicated in a prior TNP study.

 

In 2009, we acquired an exclusive worldwide license to a body of patents and patent applications underlying the use of Metabolic Disruption Technology, or MDT, compounds in the treatment of cancers that were developed by Dr. Newell Rogers, and are owned by the University of Colorado and the University of Vermont. We believe MDT technology interferes with cancer cells’ ability to get the energy they need, making them more susceptible to chemotherapy and radiation and more visible and vulnerable to the body’s own immune system.

 

There are hundreds of existing cancer treatments that could potentially be used successfully in combination with MDT compounds. All cells, including cancer cells, need energy to continue functioning. MDT compounds interfere with target cells' methods for obtaining the energy they need to function. Such methods for obtaining energy are called metabolic processes. In order to get energy, cells may undergo a process called autophagy, or self-eating, where the cells consume themselves in order to continue to function. This process is particularly relevant to cancer cells, which are very energy intensive due to their short cell cycle and rapid proliferation. We believe our MDT compounds interrupt the cancer cells’ metabolic processes, ultimately weakening them to other cancer therapies or killing them outright. We are currently studying the efficacy of an MDT compound called hydroxychloroquine in combination with an existing drug, called sorafenib, which is marketed as Nexavar®, on solid tumors, including those located in the breast, liver, ovaries and pancreas. MDT compounds do not work on their own to treat cancerous tumors, but we believe they disrupt cellular metabolism, weakening the cancerous cells and making them more susceptible to the mechanism of a given cancer therapy.

 

Our Subsidiaries

 

VG Energy, Inc.

 

In 2010, we established a subsidiary, VG Energy, Inc. We currently own 81.65% of the common and preferred shares of VG Energy. The subsidiary was established to develop non-pharmaceutical applications of our science for use in the augmentation of oils that could be refined into diesel and other transportation fuels, as well as into high-value edible, cosmetic and nutraceutical oils. We have demonstrated in the lab that the same techniques used in our medical research increase oil yields of other plant and plant-like cells, as well as fungi, including yeast, corn, palm, soy and pea. While we believe that VG Energy could develop viable products, we are not investing resources in this subsidiary so we can focus our efforts on our drug development programs.

 

MetaCytoLitics, Inc.

 

On July 27, 2009, we formed the subsidiary, MetaCytoLytics, Inc. to study the use of MDT in the treatment of cancerous tumors. This subsidiary is largely inactive now and we are conducting MDT research through our own efforts.

 

Our Vision

 

The primary focus of our business is pharmaceutical and medical applications of our science. We are engaged in the research and development of drugs and disease treatments using two platform technologies, Targeted Peptide Technology, or TPT, and Metabolic Disruption Technology, or MDT. A portion of pharmaceutical research conducted for the benefit of our licensed MDT and TPT technologies is funded through grants and other outside funding provided to the lab of Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers. These grants include (a) two grants totaling $200,000 and paid in two installments in February 2009 and January 2012 from Time for Lyme, Inc., and Turn the Corner Foundation, of which approximately 40% benefited our TPT program and (b) a single $1,500,000 grant from the Scott & White Foundation in January 2011, of which approximately 20% benefited our MDT program. The remainder of the funding comes from our fundraising efforts.

Targeted Peptide Technology, or TPT

 

Our Targeted Peptide Technology, or TPT, targets the body’s immune cells and seems to explain the mechanism behind some autoimmune diseases while presenting a possible solution. Our current, second generation TPT compound is called VG1177.

 

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks the body’s own cells, mistaking them for pathogens. In some cases, this confusion can arise from an initial infection, where the pathogen possesses antigens similar to tissue in the body, such as in Coxsackie induced myocarditis or chronic Lyme disease. Additionally, the immune system can be activated non-specifically, that is, it mounts a chronic inflammatory response without a target. When non-infected, healthy self-cells are inappropriately targeted by the immune system, the resulting conditions, effects, and symptoms are termed chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

 

Certain molecular patterns displayed on all cell surfaces allow the immune system to distinguish self from non-self-cells as well as healthy cells from infected cells. When a given cell displays a non-self-molecular pattern, that pattern alerts the immune system to the presence of pathogen(s) and provides an identity of the pathogen(s). This recognition of foreign markers initiates an immune response: acute inflammation followed by targeted destruction of invaders and of compromised self-cells.

 

Certain cells in the body ingest foreign, damaged or infected cells and then produce a receptor on the cells surface, called Major Histocompatibility Complex II, or MHC-II receptor. The MHC-II receptor allows other immune cells, called T-cells, to identify the foreign, damaged or infected cell and cause the cell’s death, eliminating the threat and stopping the immune response.

 

Our research indicates that the self-peptide called Class II-associated invariant chain peptide, or CLIP, can fit into MHC-II receptors, preventing T-cells from recognizing the antigen-less MHC-II receptor, that is, an MHC-II receptor that is displayed outside the cell without a protein fragment, and inducing cell death. This disruption prolongs a chronic, non-specific immune activation. Our research also indicates that these CLIP+ immune cells have increased pro-inflammatory characteristics.

 

We believe TPT can work by displacing the “armor” of CLIP from its place in an extracellular MHC-II receptor. We believe VG1177 will out-compete CLIP for the MHC-II groove because it is designed to have a higher binding coefficient than CLIP, effectively displacing CLIP and producing the desired anti-inflammatory therapeutic effect.

 

TPT, in a general sense, is related to discovering receptor-mediated pathways, pathways that can be found using receptors that other cells can bind to and designing peptides that can augment how those receptors function. These peptides, synthesized by our research team, have been engineered to work nearly universally in everyone’s MHC-II receptors. We expect our TPT drug compounds to enable the body to destroy the cells that help trigger the symptoms of autoimmune diseases.

 

We also believe that various other conditions, such as Lyme disease, traumatic brain injury, hypertension, preeclampsia, glioblastoma, Type I and Type II diabetes, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, lymphedema, staphylococcus, streptococcus, and sepsis infection, multiple sclerosis, transplant rejection, and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders, or PANDAS, may be treatable using TPT. However, we have not and do not currently plan to expend any significant funds to explore these applications.

Metabolic Disruption Technology, or MDT

 

Our Metabolic Disruption Technology, or MDT, program may be used in combination with a variety of existing drugs and compounds to treat drug resistant cancers. MDT compounds manipulate target cells' methods for obtaining the energy they need to function, weakening the drug resistant cancer cells so that the cancer cells are more sensitive to the cancer treatment.

 

We believe a growing body of research indicates that interfering with cell metabolism could be the key to targeting cancer cells. Our research shows the way a cell metabolizes its sources of energy appears to determine whether it will survive the most common treatments for cancer chemotherapy and radiation. Cells that rely on glucose or sugar for fuel are easily damaged and killed. Cells that can change their metabolic strategy to use lipids can become deadly. They continue to survive and even thrive during cancer treatments, thereby assisting in the development of drug resistant tumors that can become lethal to their victims.

 

Every cell in the body produces, consumes, and stores energy using a distinct metabolic strategy to perform its normal functions. Each cell can use carbohydrate, protein, or fat in different proportions to insure that the cell has sufficient energy. The cell’s choice of fuel, i.e. the cell’s metabolic strategy, will change depending on its activation or differentiation state as well as its environment. For example, a cell that is dividing has different energy demands than one that is non-dividing and, thus, must employ an alternative metabolic strategy.

 

Due to the fact that, in general, cancer cells grow very rapidly, cancer cells have very high energy demands. We have learned that some of the mechanisms the tumor cells use to meet their energy demands are unique to the tumor cell and are not used by normal cells, suggesting that those specific pathways could make clinically relevant therapeutic targets. As a result, our research now indicates that when the tumor cells’ specific energy strategies are interrupted with “metabolic disrupting” agents, the consequences are two-fold: the cancer cells can no longer generate energy needed to survive and the disruption of the intracellular energy levels reduces their ability to repair damage from other cytotoxic agents, resulting in a much greater sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiation.

 

Tumor cells exhibit at least two generalizable metabolic features that we have chosen as selective targets: high rate glycolysis, which is the process of breaking down glucose to smaller carbon-containing units in the intracellular fluid of the cell, and fatty acid oxidation, the process of breaking fats down to smaller carbon containing units in the cell’s powerhouse, the mitochondria. The preferential use of fatty acid oxidation in drug resistant cells is a particularly important focus of our therapeutic strategy because drug resistance, either acquired through drug treatment or inherent drug resistance, is the leading cause of death for cancer patients. For all of these reasons, our initial clinical compounds are comprised of pharmaceutical compositions that interfere with various aspects of high rate glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation.

 

Our research indicates that we are capable of interfering with the metabolic strategy of both drug sensitive and multi-drug resistant tumor cells. Our studies both in vitro and in tumor-bearing mice have demonstrated a lack of toxicity and impressive therapeutic activity of some compounds in multi-drug resistant cancer cells and an even more potent effect on both drug sensitive and drug resistant tumor cells when used in combinations. In addition, certain compounds have striking therapeutic activity in tumor-bearing mice when used together, or in conjunction with, standard chemotherapy.

 

Doctors at Scott & White Healthcare in Temple, Texas, and the Cancer Therapy and Research Center at the University of Texas at San Antonio, have completed a Phase I Physician’s IND trial, for patients with solid tumors utilizing an MDT compound, called hydroxychloroquine, in combination with an existing cancer drug, called sorafenib, which is marketed as Nexavar®. Our MDT trials initially were only for ovarian cancer, but have since expanded to include other solid tumors, including those located in the breast, colon, liver, lung, and pancreas. We are currently reviewing our options, including an expanded Phase I Physician’s IND with a large 5th cohort of patients at maximum dosage or a Phase II trial. However, we have not expended any significant funds to explore these applications, nor we do not have funds on hand to explore these applications.

A phase I study may be conducted at a clinical trial location in healthy patients, or it may be administered to patients suffering with the targeted indication by a physician, where the latter becomes a physician investigational new drug trial, or P-IND. An IND refers to the molecular entity or entities not yet approved for a given indication or indications. Any plan to use the specific entity or entities must be approved by the FDA prior to initiation. A clinical protocol may be exempted from IND approval procedures if the following conditions are met:

 

  · The investigation is not intended to be reported to the FDA as a well-controlled study in support of a new indication for use, nor intended to support any other significant change in labeling for the drug;

 

  · The investigation is not intended to support a significant change in the advertising for a prescription drug product;

 

  · The investigation does not involve a change in route of administration, dosage level, or patient population, or other factors that significantly increase the risks (or decreases the acceptability of risks) associated with use of the drug product;

 

  · The investigation is conducted in compliance with the requirements for Institutional Review Board approval. Institutional Review Boards review studies that are conducted with human subjects to ensure that there is oversight of such research and that such research is conducted with the appropriate precautions and all subjects are given informed voluntary consent before participating in the study; and

 

  · The investigation may not represent that the drug being studied is safe or effective, nor may it be commercially distributed, for the purposes for which it is under investigation.

 

The current clinical protocol was exempted from IND regulations on May 4, 2012, which means that an IND approval was not needed prior to study commencement, and with the receipt of the notification, the study could commence. We are the sponsor of the trial and Dr. Tyler Curiel is the primary investigator. The subject of the protocol is a hydroxychloroquine and sorafenib combination as a treatment for all solid tumors in patients that have failed first line cancer therapies.

 

We hold an exclusive license for the patent application for this MDT combination treatment. Since its inception in July 2012, the trial has been expanded to encompass solid tumors, including breast, colon, lung, liver, and pancreatic cancers. We are in the process of completing our Phase I Physician’s IND study utilizing MDT as a combination therapy. The goal with this treatment is to weaken the drug resistant cancer cells so that they may be sensitized to other treatments as well as becoming vulnerable to the body’s immune system.

 

Product Candidates

 

Currently, we have one pre-clinical product candidate and one clinical-stage product candidate. Our clinical-stage product candidate is an MDT therapy, which helps, in combination with other drugs, to fight cancers with solid tumors in situations where the cancer is resistant to the initial cancer drug therapy. Our MDT trial was initially for ovarian cancer, but has since expanded to include other solid tumors, including those located in the breast, colon, liver, lung, and pancreas. Our pre-clinical product candidate is a TPT therapy for HIV/AIDS using our computationally designed peptide known as VG1177. The success of our business is primarily dependent upon our ability to discover or acquire rights to products, and to develop and commercialize our product candidates.

 

TPT for HIV/AIDS

 

VG1177 is a proprietary, computationally designed anti-inflammatory peptide with a wide range of potential applications. Currently, we are devoting most of our resources to develop VG1177 for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. We believe VG1177 prevents the survival of pro-inflammatory cells under conditions where inflammation is unwanted, thereby allowing the body’s natural containment systems to provide protection from harm, which has implications for chronic inflammatory conditions and autoimmune and infectious diseases. We began animal toxicity studies in November 2013 and we engaged ITR Laboratories in Montreal, Canada to complete the safety studies. These toxicity studies are the prerequisite step before beginning a Phase I clinical trial. We expect these safety results in early 2015. We have engaged an additional team of industry consultants to guide us through this pivotal, pre-FDA planning stage with a specific focus on drug formulation, on-site inspections, clinical creation and other aspects of clinical planning. This group of advisors includes:

MDT Compound for Drug Resistant Cancer called Hydroxychloroquine

 

Hydroxychloroquine is a MDT compound that can be used, in combination with other cancer drugs, such as sorafenib, which is marketed as Nexavar®, to treat drug resistant cancer. We hold a license to a pending patent application for the combination treatment. In 2012, doctors at Scott & White Healthcare and the Cancer Therapy Research at Texas A&M University began conducting a Phase I Physician’s IND trial for patients with late stage ovarian cancer using this MDT combination treatment. The trial has progressed to encompass solid tumors, including; breast, colon, lung, liver and pancreatic cancers. Our Physician-IND Phase I Study is testing the tolerability and toxicity of our patented technology in patients with advanced stage solid tumors. The study, which is ongoing in patients with solid tumors that do not respond to treatment or have returned after a period of improvement, examines the safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, or HCQ, in combination with sorafenib, marketed as Nexavar®, which was co-developed by Bayer AG and Onyx Pharmaceuticals.

The study is designed with four cohorts, three cycles of administration in each cohort and four different patients in each cohort. Thus there are 16 total patients targeted to complete the trial. Sorafenib and HCQ are FDA approved and thus the study is testing the drugs in combination for safety and toxicity. The dosing for each cohort is as follows:

 

Cohort Number SORAFENIB HCQ
1 400 mg 200 mg
2 600 mg 200 mg
3 800 mg 200 mg
4 800 mg 400 mg

 

As a Phase I study, the investigators are primarily testing for safety, but are also testing for efficacy in reducing tumor mass or stunting tumor growth. No patients have been dropped from the study for toxicity. The primary investigator reported two clinical responses in cohort number 3 with four months of disease stabilization in a patient with metastatic ovarian cancer, which has spread throughout portions of the body, and five months of disease stabilization in a patient with triple-negative breast cancer, which is a type of cancer that does not express three genes that are key to traditional cancer treatment, making treatment more difficult. The final patient in cohort number 3 has stage IV, or metastatic, adenocarcinoma of the lung, which is a common form of lung cancer, and has four separate lung lesions. During the course of the study, the four lesions have all regressed about 20% in size. This study is being conducted at the Cancer Therapy and Research Center at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio. The primary investigator is medical oncologist Dr. Tyler Curiel, M.D., MPH and is based on the research of Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers, PhD, our Chief Scientific Advisor. In March 2014, the University of Texas Data Safety Monitoring Committee approved an expansion to cohort number 4. In the final cohort, the trial is at maximum sorafenib plus maximum HCQ. Cohort number 4 has enrolled and finished dosing, and the treatment was well-tolerated in all patients. With the conclusion of cohort 4 dosing, we have completed the Phase I trial as outlined in the clinical plan, though one patient remains on the treatment who has maintained her partial clinical response by RECIST criteria which is a set of physician-published rules to evaluate tumor response to a given treatment.

 

We are actively planning for either an expanded Physician’s IND Phase I study or a Phase II study, but we do not have the capital to fund a Phase II study at present.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We seek to protect our novel compounds, cloned targets, expressed proteins, assays, organic synthetic processes, screening technology and other technologies by, among other things, filing, or causing to be filed on our behalf, patent applications. Except as specifically noted below, the patent rights described below may be subject to potential patent term extensions and/or supplemental protection certificates extending such term extensions in countries where such extensions may become available. We control over 40 U.S. and foreign patents and/or pending patent applications through licensing agreements with universities, as well as Scott & White Healthcare. As of March 26, 2015, we, along with our subsidiaries, own or co-own 2 pending U.S. patent applications, and 3 pending foreign patent applications.

(1) A European patent refers to patents granted under the European Patent Convention. The European Patent Convention allows for unified filing of a patent application with the European Patent Office. The applicant may designate any of the countries, who are a party to the convention, in which the applicant seeks protection. There are 38 countries that are parties to the European Patent Convention. Each of the designated countries must confirm the patent. Once granted, a European patent comes into existence as a group of national patents in each of the designated countries.
   
(2) The expiration dates of pending U.S. patent applications do not take into consideration any potential patent term adjustment that may be applied by the U.S. Patent Office upon issuance of the patent or any terminal disclaimers that may be filed in the future.

 

The rights we consider significant in relation to our business as a whole are covered by two exclusive license agreements we entered into with the University of Colorado, one of which pertains to patents and patent applications concerning TPT, referred to as the CLIP License, and the other concerning MDT, referred to as the Metabolic Distribution License. Through institutional agreements between the University of Colorado and the University of Vermont, patent rights held by the University of Vermont, where an inventor on the University of Vermont patents, Dr. Newell Rogers, was employed, are also included in our exclusive license to the MDT. We also hold licenses from Texas A&M University and Scott & White Healthcare, referenced as the S & W License. These licenses grant us a worldwide exclusive license to the patents and require us to make certain royalty and milestone payments, as specified below.

 

Clip License

 

On August 25, 2009, we entered into a worldwide exclusive license agreement with the University of Colorado granting us rights to patents, patent applications, and technologies developed by Dr. Newell Rogers and owned by the University of Colorado. The termination provisions of the agreement allow us to terminate the agreement in its entirety if we:

 

(1) Pay all amounts due as well as all non-cancelable costs to the University of Colorado through the termination date;

 

(2) Submit final payments with interest equal to the lesser of one percent per month compounded, or the maximum interest rate allowed by law, and a final report;

 

10
 

 

(3) Return any confidential materials provided to us by the University of Colorado in connection with the agreement;

 

(4) Suspend our use and sales of the licensed product(s) and licensed process(es) covered by the agreement; provided however, that subject to making certain payments and furnishing certain reports as specified in the agreement, we may, for a period of ninety (90) days after the effective date of such termination, sell all licensed products which may be in inventory; and

 

(5) Provide the University of Colorado the right to access any regulatory information filed with any U.S. or foreign government agency with respect to licensed products and licensed processes.

 

The termination provisions of the agreement also allows us to terminate the agreement in its entirety if the University of Colorado:

 

(1) Is delinquent on any report or payment that is not in dispute; is in breach of the diligence obligations described in the agreement, including the milestone requirements and such missed milestone, which is not otherwise excused pursuant to the terms of the agreement; provides any false report, as specified in the agreement, breaching any dispute resolution of the agreement, or is in breach of any other material provision of the agreement, and fails to cure any of these circumstances within 30 days of the University of Colorado's written notice to us;

 

(2) Violates any laws or regulations of applicable governmental entities;

 

(3) Becomes insolvent, as defined by the voluntary filing of a Chapter 7 proceeding under bankruptcy law, or if we cease to carry on its business or development activities pertaining to the licensed patents; or

 

(4) Institutes a legal action challenging the validity of any licensed patent.

 

The exclusive license granted by the agreement will terminate if a non-voluntary Chapter 7 proceeding under bankruptcy law is filed that is not dismissed prior to liquidation. The exclusive license will not pass to a trustee in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or be held as an asset of said Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

 

This license gives us rights to 9 pending U.S. and foreign patent applications and 2 issued U.S. patents and 1 issued Australian patent, as specified below:

Other Royalty Agreements

 

Under two consulting agreements effective January 1, 2011 and terminating December 31, 2015 with Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers and Dr. Evan Newell, we are obligated to pay certain royalties upon the commercialization of products developed from their work.

 

These royalties are the same for both Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers and Dr. Evan Newell. Each individual is entitled to three fourths of one percent, or 0.75%, of net sales from sales in developed countries, and one half of one percent, or 0.50%, from sales in undeveloped countries.

 

Under the exclusive license agreements, in general, we are obligated to fund the costs of any patents, even if such work would be outside a field of use for which we currently have exclusive rights. We are continually evaluating whether additional applications may be appropriate to protect extensions and variations of our product candidates, and expect to file additional and new applications related thereto. Under international agreements, in recent years, global protection of intellectual property rights is improving. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade requires participant countries to amend their intellectual property laws to provide patent protection for pharmaceutical products by the end of a ten-year transition period. A number of countries are following suit. Patent protection in other countries where we have obtained patents and filed patent applications, including the European Patent Office, the Eurasian Patent Organization, New Zealand, Australia, and Israel, extend for varying periods according to the date of patent filing or grant and the legal term of patents in the various countries where patent protection is obtained. The actual protection afforded by a patent, which can vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent, the scope of its coverage and the availability of legal remedies in the country.

 

The expiration of a product patent or loss of patent protection resulting from a legal challenge would be expected to result in significant competition from generic products against the covered product and, particularly in the U.S., could result in a significant reduction in sales of the pioneering product. If we were to lose patent protection, we may be able to continue to obtain commercial benefits from product trade secrets, patents on use of our product, and patents on processes and intermediates for the economical manufacture of the active ingredients. The effect of product patent expiration or loss also depends upon the nature of the market and the position of the product in it, the growth of the market, the complexities and economics of manufacture of the product, and the requirements of generic drug laws.

 

With respect to proprietary know-how and products and processes for which patents are of questionable value or are difficult or impossible to obtain or enforce, we rely on confidentiality agreements and other trade secret protection measures to protect our interests. We take measures to protect our proprietary know-how, technologies, and confidential data, including requiring all employees, consultants and customers to enter into confidentiality agreements. In arrangements with our customers or suppliers that require the sharing of processes and data, our policy is to make available only such data as is relevant to our agreements with such customers and suppliers, subject to appropriate contractual restrictions, including requirements for them to maintain confidentiality and use such processes and data solely for our benefit. However, such measures may not adequately protect our data.

 

Publication Incentive Program

 

On December 22, 2014, we established a stock bonus program for the publication of articles in scientific journals whereby Dr. Karen Newell-Rogers or Dr. Richard Tobin or any graduate students or other researchers working in Dr. Karen Newell-Rogers’ lab at Texas A&M that are named in the publication be granted a stock bonus in shares of our common stock at our discretion. The amount of the stock bonus is based upon the impact factor of the publication and the status of the author. In order to qualify for a bonus the article must specifically refer or relate to the use of targeted peptide technology or metabolic disruption technology, and shall not include review articles. The value of the shares granted pursuant to the bonus program will be equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date the publication is first publically released via electronic publication and the maximum amount of shares issued under this bonus program is $100,000 worth of shares. The bonus program automatically terminates on December 31, 2016.

Manufacturing and Supply

 

TPT compounds used for preclinical studies in our drug research programs are produced by external production facilities. Acquisition of drugs used in concert with our MDT compounds can present challenges given that the manufacturer or drug developer generally must agree to the use of the compounds in a research setting. This can involve more detailed communication and negotiation with the manufacturer rather than simply purchasing product. The production of larger batches of products for commercial sale after FDA approval would require construction of our own facility or a long-term contracting relationship with a manufacturer with sufficient capacity. We have sourced a manufacturer for TPT compounds that we believe will be able to meet long-term production demands throughout the development period and beyond.

 

At present, we obtain MDT compounds from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. We recently sourced a manufacturer for our TPT compounds, including VG1177, and are now capable of procuring Good Manufacturing Practices grade compound, which is required for human clinical trials. The manufacturer is Ambiopharm Inc. Ambiopharm synthesizes the peptide on a contract basis for specific amounts. We do not currently have a contract or an exclusivity agreement with Ambiopharm. We do not expect any significant issues in connection with manufacturing for the foreseeable future.

 

Sales and Marketing/Commercialization

 

Our lead drug candidate, VG1177, is intended to address a variety of market segments, some of which are large healthcare markets. We do not currently have a commercialization organization capable of marketing, selling, or distributing VG1177. We have commenced discussions and may establish partnerships with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other organizations that have the existing organization experience and resources to bring our initial, and potentially future, product candidates to market. In some cases, we may collaborate with third parties during the development stage of a product candidate to further benefit from their financial support as well as clinical development, regulatory, market research, pre-marketing and other expertise. For commercialization outside of the United States, we may enter into joint ventures, license arrangements or distribution agreements, as appropriate, depending on the particular requirements of the market and the potential partner’s core competencies to assist us with such requirements. Pending FDA approval of our products, we may establish or contract with a specialty sales force with expertise in marketing and selling to various healthcare markets. We may also establish or contract for other complementary capabilities related to marketing and selling our potential pharmaceutical products.

 

Competition

 

Competition is intense in the pharmaceutical business and includes many large and small competitors. Technological innovations affecting efficacy, safety, patient ease-of-use, and cost-effectiveness by other pharmaceutical companies with greater financial and research resources working on competitive products could result in products that offer the same or similar benefits as our product candidates. We intend to compete with existing products on the basis of product quality and efficacy, product safety, economic benefit, and/or promotion, however our MDT oncology therapies are designed to function as an adjunct or add-on to current treatments and so our therapies do not directly compete with those current treatments.

 

However, our MDT oncological combination therapies may compete directly with other adjunct therapies. As there are over 200 million possible combinations of approved and development-stage oncological drugs, not including the hundreds of MDT oncological agents patented (Nature Biotechnology, Vol. 30 No 7 July 2012), it is more relevant to discuss the competition that may be faced by the sorafenib/hydroxychloroquine, or HCQ, treatment in an FDA phase I study.

 

Currently, there are over 350 clinical trials, initiated, ongoing, and completed, involving a sorafenib combination treatment. Not all of these trials are sponsored by industry groups, and not all of these trials will advance further in clinical development. Furthermore, this number does not include other multikinase or angiogenesis inhibitors, and it is possible that our sorafenib/HCQ treatment may face other successful sorafenib or sorafenib-like combination therapies.

 

The key detail needed to evaluate competition will be the oncological indication chosen for the sorafenib/HCQ therapy, as cancer treatments must be approved for discrete types of cancer.

Government Regulation

 

Our current and contemplated activities, and the products and processes that will result from such activities, are subject to substantial government regulation.

 

United States—FDA Drug Approval Process

 

Pre-Clinical Testing: Before beginning testing of any compounds with potential therapeutic value in human subjects in the United States, stringent government requirements for pre-clinical data must be satisfied. Pre-clinical testing includes both in vitro, or in an artificial environment outside of a living organism, and in vivo, or within a living organism, laboratory evaluation and characterization of the safety and efficacy of a drug and its formulation. We perform pre-clinical testing on all of our drug candidates before initiating human trials.

 

Investigational New Drug, IND, Applications: Pre-clinical testing results obtained from in vivo studies in several animal species, as well as from in vitro studies, are submitted to the FDA, or an international equivalent, as part of an IND or equivalent, and are reviewed by the FDA prior to the commencement of human clinical trials. The pre-clinical data must provide an adequate basis for evaluating both the safety and the scientific rationale for the initial clinical studies in human volunteers.

 

Clinical Trials: Clinical trials involve the administration of the drug to healthy human volunteers or to patients under the supervision of a qualified investigator pursuant to an FDA-reviewed protocol. Human clinical trials typically are conducted in three sequential phases, although the phases may overlap with one another. Clinical trials must be conducted under protocols that detail the objectives of the study, the parameters to be used to monitor safety, and the efficacy criteria, if any, to be evaluated. Each protocol must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND.

 

  · Phase 1 clinical trials—test for safety, dose tolerance, absorption, bio-distribution, metabolism, excretion and clinical pharmacology and, if possible, to gain early evidence regarding efficacy.
  · Phase 2 clinical trials—involve a small sample of the actual intended patient population and seek to assess the efficacy of the drug for specific targeted indications, to determine dose-response and the optimal dose range and to gather additional information relating to safety and potential adverse effects.
  · Phase 3 clinical trials—consist of expanded, large-scale studies of patients with the target disease or disorder to obtain definitive statistical evidence of the efficacy and safety of the proposed product and dosing regimen.
  · Phase 4 clinical trials—conducted after a product has been approved. These trials can be conducted for a number of purposes, including to collect long-term safety information or to collect additional data about a specific population. As part of a product approval, the FDA may require that certain Phase 4 studies, which are called post-marketing commitment studies, be conducted post-approval.

 

Good Clinical Practices: All of the phases of clinical studies must be conducted in conformance with the FDA's bioresearch monitoring regulations and Good Clinical Practices, which are ethical and scientific quality standards for conducting, recording, and reporting clinical trials to assure that the data and reported results are credible and accurate, and that the rights, safety, and well-being of trial participants are protected.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

We are a development stage company with no commercial products.

 

We are developing two drug candidates: VG1177, our lead pre-clinical drug candidate, initially for HIV/AIDS application, and MDT, our clinical drug candidate, initially aimed to fight solid tumor cancers in situations where the cancer is resistant to initial cancer drug therapy. Currently, we have no product candidates in our clinical development pipeline other than VG1177 for HIV/AIDS and MDT for a cancer application, and we have no products approved for sale. We plan to file an IND application with the FDA for our VG1177 after completion of the animal toxicity studies. Thereafter, we expect to commence our initial clinical trials for VG1177 for HIV/AIDS. Although we have begun pre-clinical and in vitro studies, we have not yet begun human clinical trials, and therefore, we are still many years from beginning to commercialize and market VG1177 or any other product candidate, if ever. We expect the clinical development of VG1177 will require significant additional effort, resources, time, and expenses prior to seeking FDA approval. VG1177 is not expected to be commercially available in the United States or outside the United States for several years, if ever. If we are unable to make VG1177 commercially available, we may not be able to fund future operations, including developing, testing and obtaining regulatory approval for new product candidates.

 

We may be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As we don’t have enough cash on hand to pay our expenses for the next 12 months of operations, our independent auditors have included a “going concern” qualification in their audit report. We expect to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and will need to raise additional capital to pursue our product development initiatives, to penetrate markets for the sale of our products and continue as a going concern. This qualification may also make it more difficult for us to raise capital and could increase the cost of any capital raised. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. Our management believes that we have access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means, if needed; however, we can provide no assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if needed.

 

We have a history of operating losses. We expect to incur net losses and we may never achieve or maintain profitability.

 

We have not been profitable since our inception. We reported net losses of approximately $6.19 million and $7.42 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $106 million. We have not generated any revenue from product sales or royalties from product sales to date, and it is possible that we will never have significant product sales revenue or royalty revenue. We expect to continue to incur losses for at least the next several years as we and our collaborators pursue clinical trials and research and development efforts. To become profitable, we, either alone, or with our collaborators, must successfully develop, manufacture, and market our current product candidates, particularly VG1177 or our MDT compound, as well as continue to identify, develop, manufacture, and market new product candidates. It is possible that we will never have significant product sales revenue or receive significant royalties on our licensed product candidates.

 

22
 

 

We will need additional financing, but our access to capital funding is uncertain.

 

Our current and anticipated operations, particularly our product development and commercialization programs, require substantial capital, which we have not yet obtained in lump sum. We are continually seeking funding for our ongoing operations, and we have funded operations through a series of private placements and support from stockholders. Cash as of December 31, 2014 was $34,000. Those funds have since been utilized and we have entered into agreements with related and unrelated parties to receive additional capital after December 31, 2014 of up to $600,000 to allow us to continue through December 31, 2015. As of March 27, 2015, we have received $20,000 of this amount. Until we are able to secure long-term financial support or financing in a sufficiently large quantity to fund operations for at least 18-24 months, our ability to operate is uncertain and a significant portion of our management’s time is devoted to fund-raising. However, these and future capital needs will depend on many factors, including the extent to which we enter into collaboration agreements with respect to any of our proprietary product candidates and make progress in our internally funded research, development and commercialization activities. Our capital requirements will also depend on the magnitude and scope of these activities, our ability to maintain existing, and establish new, collaborations, the terms of those collaborations, the success of our collaborators in the future to develop and market products under their respective collaborations with us, our success in producing clinical and commercial supplies of our product candidates on a timely basis and in sufficient quantities to meet our requirements, competing technological and market developments, the time and cost of obtaining regulatory approvals, the extent to which we choose to commercialize our future products through our own sales and marketing capabilities, and the cost of preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent and other rights. We do not have committed external sources of funding, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to:

  

·engage in equity financings that would be dilutive to current stockholders;
·delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our development programs;
·obtain funds through arrangements with collaborators or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves; or
·license rights to technologies, product candidates, or products on terms that are less favorable to us than might otherwise be available.

 

If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may not be able to develop or commercialize our products, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.

 

We are heavily dependent on the success of our lead drug candidate, and we cannot provide any assurance that our lead drug candidate or other product candidates we may have in the future will be commercialized.

 

We intend to invest the vast majority of our time and financial resources in the development and commercialization of our lead drug candidate, VG1177, which is currently in pre-clinical development. We plan to file an IND for our chosen indication with the FDA in mid 2016. We expect to commence patient enrollment for our Phase I-clinical trial thereafter. Our future success depends heavily on our ability to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for, and commercialize our lead drug candidate, which may never occur. We currently generate no revenues and incur substantial losses, and we may never be able to develop or commercialize a marketable drug. Our MDT candidate is our secondary candidate, nearing completion of a Phase I-Physician’s IND.

 

Before we generate any revenues from product sales, we must complete preclinical studies and clinical trials for VG1177, establish manufacturing capabilities that comply with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices requirements for manufacturing sterile drugs, receive approval from the FDA in the United States and other regulatory agencies in foreign jurisdictions, build a commercial organization, make substantial investments and undertake significant marketing efforts ourselves or in partnership with others. We will not be permitted to market or promote VG1177, MDT, or any other product candidates we may have in the future, before we receive regulatory approval from the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities, and we may never receive such regulatory approval for VG1177, MDT or any of our other product candidates.

 

23
 

 

We have not previously submitted a biologics license application, or a new drug application, or NDA, to the FDA, or similar drug approval filings to comparable foreign authorities, for VG1177. We cannot be certain that our lead drug candidate or any other product candidate will be successful in clinical trials or receive regulatory approval. Further, our lead drug candidate or any other product candidate may not receive regulatory approval even if our clinical trials are successful. If we do not receive regulatory approvals for our lead drug candidate or any other product candidate, we may not be able to continue our operations. Even if we successfully obtain regulatory approvals to market our lead drug candidate or any other product candidate, our revenues will be dependent, in part, upon the size of the markets in the territories for which we gain regulatory approval and have commercial rights. If the markets for patient subsets that we are targeting are not as significant as we estimate, we may not generate significant revenues from sales of such products, if approved.

 

Clinical trials involve a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome, and results of earlier studies and trials may not be predictive of future trial results.

 

VG1177, MDT and any future product candidate that we may pursue will be subject to extensive regulation by the FDA in the United States and by other regulatory agencies in foreign jurisdictions, including activities related to preclinical studies, human clinical trials, manufacturing, labeling, packaging and sterilization, storage, recordkeeping, advertising, promotion, export, import, marketing and distribution and other possible activities.

 

Our lead drug candidate, VG1177, is a proprietary, computationally designed anti-inflammatory peptide. We expect to pursue FDA drug approval for VG1177 as a new chemical entity. There may be other similar drug candidates in development by other companies and these candidates may gain FDA drug approval prior to VG1177. We are conducting pre-clinical testing to support our IND for VG1177 and we have received feedback from the FDA regarding our proposed trial. Based on the feedback we received from the FDA, we hope to submit the IND to the FDA in 2016 and commence patient enrollment in our Phase I-clinical trial thereafter. As we move through the regulatory process, the FDA may make other suggestions that may impact our ability to complete our clinical trials within the timeframe or budget that we are anticipating, which could impact investors’ interest in our business and our stock price.

 

Our MDT combination with other cancer drugs to treat late stage cancers is a proprietary use. There may be other similar drug candidates in development by other companies and these candidates may gain FDA drug approval prior to our MDT compound. We are conducting phase I-clinical testing to support our MDT compound in combination with Nexavar® for treatment of late-stage ovarian cancer, and the trial has been expanded to encompass solid tumors, including breast, colon, lung, liver, and pancreatic cancers. Our Physician’s Investigational New Drug, or P-IND, Phase I clinical trial has been completed according to the clinical plan, and we are awaiting the final analysis from the lead physician. As we move through the regulatory process, the FDA may make other suggestions that may impact our ability to complete our clinical trials within the timeframe or budget that we are anticipating, which could impact investors’ interest in our business and our stock price.

 

The results of preclinical studies and clinical trials of previously published similar products may not necessarily be indicative of the results of our future clinical trials. Preliminary results may not be confirmed upon full analysis of the detailed results of an early clinical trial. Product candidates in later stages of clinical trials may fail to show safety and efficacy sufficient to support intended use claims despite having progressed through initial clinical trials. The data collected from clinical trials of our product candidates may not be sufficient to obtain regulatory approval in the United States or elsewhere. Because of the uncertainties associated with drug development and regulatory approval, we cannot determine if, or when, we may have an approved product for commercialization or whether we will ever achieve sales or profits of VG1177 or other product candidates we may pursue in the future.

 

24
 

 

If our products do not gain market acceptance, our business will suffer because we might not be able to fund future operations.

 

A number of factors may affect the market acceptance of our products or any other products we develop or acquire, including, among others:

 

·the price of our products relative to other products for the same or similar treatments;
·the perception by patients, physicians and other members of the healthcare community of the effectiveness and safety of our products for their indicated applications and treatments;
·our ability to fund our sales and marketing efforts; and
·the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts.

 

If our products do not gain market acceptance, we may not be able to fund future operations, including developing, testing and obtaining regulatory approval for new product candidates and expanding our sales and marketing efforts for our approved products, which would cause our business to suffer.

 

Our research and development program for drug candidates other than VG1177 and MDT is at an early stage, and we cannot be certain our program will result in the commercialization of any drug.

 

Except for our development program for VG1177 and MDT, our research and development program targeting all other disease applications is at an early stage and, to date, we have not developed any other product candidates generated in our TPT research program. Any product candidates we develop will require significant additional research and development efforts prior to commercial sale, including extensive pre-clinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval. This may require increases in spending on internal projects, the acquisition of third party technologies or products, and other types of investments. We cannot be sure that our approach to drug discovery, acting independently or with partners, will be effective or will result in the development of any drug. We cannot expect that any drug candidates that do result from our research and development efforts will be commercially available for many years.

 

We have limited experience in conducting pre-clinical testing and clinical trials. Even if we receive initially positive clinical trial results, those results will not guaranty that similar results will be obtained in the later stages of drug development. Our current lead drug candidate and all of our potential drug candidates are prone to the risks of failure inherent in pharmaceutical product development, including the possibility that none of our drug candidates will be:

 

·safe, non-toxic and effective;
·approved by regulatory authorities;
·developed into a commercially viable drug;
·manufactured or produced economically;
·successfully marketed; or
·accepted widely by customers.

 

If we cannot commercialize any of our drugs, we may not generate revenues and our Company may fail.

 

25
 

 

We may be unable to maintain sufficient clinical trial liability insurance.

 

Our inability to obtain and retain sufficient clinical trial liability insurance at an acceptable cost to protect against potential liability claims could prevent or inhibit our ability to conduct clinical trials for product candidates we develop. We currently do not have clinical trial liability insurance for VG1177 and would need to secure coverage before commencing patient enrollment for our Phase II P-IND clinical trials in the United States. Any claim that may be brought against us could result in a court judgment or settlement in an amount that is not covered, in whole or in part, by our insurance or that is in excess of the limits of our insurance coverage. We expect we will supplement our clinical trial coverage with product liability coverage in connection with the commercial launch of our first product candidate; however, we may be unable to obtain such increased coverage on acceptable terms or at all. If we are found liable in a clinical trial lawsuit or a product liability lawsuit in the future, we will have to pay any amounts awarded by a court or negotiated in a settlement that exceed our coverage limitations or that are not covered by our insurance, and we may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient capital to pay such amounts.

 

If product liability claims are brought against us or we are unable to obtain or maintain product liability insurance, we may incur substantial liabilities that could reduce our financial resources.

 

The clinical testing and commercial use of pharmaceutical products involves significant exposure to product liability claims. We have, in the past, obtained limited product liability insurance coverage for some of our clinical trials on humans; however, our insurance coverage may be insufficient to protect us against all product liability damages. Further, liability insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive and we might not be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance in the future on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts to protect us against product liability damages. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in decreased demand for a future product, injury to reputation, withdrawal of clinical trial volunteers, loss of revenue, costs of litigation, distraction of management and substantial monetary awards to plaintiffs. Additionally, if we are required to pay a product liability claim, we may not have sufficient financial resources to complete development or commercialization of any of our product candidates and our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.

 

If we are unable to develop satisfactory sales and marketing capabilities, we may not succeed in commercializing VG1177 or any other product candidate.

 

We have no experience in marketing and selling drug products. We have not entered into arrangements for the sale and marketing of VG1177 or any other product. We are developing VG1177 for large patient populations served by physicians. These patient populations may number in the millions. Typically, pharmaceutical companies would employ groups of sales representatives and associated sales and marketing staff numbering in the hundreds to thousands of individuals to call on this large number of physicians and hospitals. We may seek to collaborate with a third party to market our drugs or may seek to market and sell our drugs by ourselves. If we seek to collaborate with a third party, we cannot be sure that a collaborative agreement can be reached on terms acceptable to us. If we seek to market and sell our drugs directly, we will need to hire additional personnel skilled in marketing and sales. We cannot be sure that we will be able to acquire, or establish third party relationships to provide, any or all of these marketing and sales capabilities. The establishment of a direct sales force or a contract sales force or a combination direct and contract sales force to market our products will be expensive and time-consuming and could delay any product launch.

 

Further, we can give no assurances that we may be able to maintain a direct and/or contract sales force for any period of time or that our sales efforts will be sufficient to grow our revenues or that our sales efforts will ever lead to profits.

 

26
 

 

Even if we obtain regulatory approvals to commercialize VG1177 or any other drug, our drug candidates may not be accepted by physicians or the medical community in general.

 

There can be no assurance that VG1177 or any other product candidate successfully developed by us, independently or with partners, will be accepted by physicians, hospitals and other healthcare facilities. VG1177 and any future product candidates we develop will compete with a number of similar drugs and products manufactured and marketed by major pharmaceutical and medical technology companies. The degree of market acceptance of any drugs we develop depends on a number of factors, including:

 

·our demonstration of the clinical efficacy and safety of VG1177 or any other drug candidate;
·timing of market approval and commercial launch of VG1177 or any other drug candidate;
·the clinical indication(s) for which VG1177 or any other drug candidate is approved;
·product label and package insert requirements;
·advantages and disadvantages of our product candidates compared to existing therapies;
·continued interest in and growth of the market for auto-immune and/or anti-inflammation drugs;
·strength of sales, marketing, and distribution support;
·product pricing in absolute terms and relative to alternative treatments;
·future changes in healthcare laws, regulations, and medical policies; and
·availability of reimbursement codes and coverage in select jurisdictions, and future changes to reimbursement policies of government and third party payors.

 

Significant uncertainty exists as to the coverage and reimbursement status of any product candidate for which we obtain regulatory approval. In the United States and markets in other countries, sales of any products for which we receive regulatory approval for commercial sale will depend in part on the availability of reimbursement from third-party payors. Third-party payors include government health administrative authorities, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations.

 

Our failure to successfully acquire, develop and market additional drug candidates or approved drug products could impair our ability to grow.

 

As part of our growth strategy, we may evaluate, acquire, license, develop and/or market additional product candidates and technologies. These investments will not constitute a significant portion of our business. However, because our internal research capabilities are limited, we may be dependent upon pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic scientists and other researchers to sell or license products or technology to us. The success of this strategy depends partly upon our ability to identify, select and acquire promising pharmaceutical product candidates and products. The process of proposing, negotiating and implementing a license or acquisition of a product candidate or approved product is lengthy and complex. Other companies, including some with substantially greater financial, marketing, and sales resources, may compete with us for the license or acquisition of product candidates and approved products. We have limited resources to identify and execute the acquisition or licensing of third party products, businesses and technologies and integrate them into our current infrastructure. Moreover, we may devote resources to potential acquisitions or in-licensing opportunities that are never completed, or we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of such efforts. We may not be able to acquire the rights to additional product candidates on terms that we find acceptable, or at all.

 

In addition, future acquisitions may entail numerous operational and financial risks, including:

 

·exposure to unknown liabilities;
·disruption of our business and diversion of our management’s and technical personnel’s time and attention to develop acquired products or technologies;
·incurrence of substantial debt or dilutive issuances of securities to pay for acquisitions;
·higher than expected acquisition and integration costs;
·increased amortization expenses;
·difficulty and cost in combining the operations and personnel of any acquired businesses with our operations and personnel;
·impairment of relationships with key suppliers or customers of any acquired businesses due to changes in management and ownership; and
·inability to retain key employees of any acquired businesses.

 

27
 

 

Any product candidate that we acquire may require additional development efforts prior to commercial sale, including extensive clinical testing and approval by the FDA and applicable foreign regulatory authorities. All product candidates are prone to risks of failure typical of pharmaceutical product development, including the possibility that a product candidate will not be shown to be sufficiently safe and effective for approval by regulatory authorities. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that any products that we develop or approved products that we acquire will be manufactured profitably or achieve market acceptance.

 

If we do not have the resources necessary to manage growth effectively, then our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

We believe that as our business plan is more fully realized, we may experience a period of rapid growth that will result in new and increased responsibilities for management personnel and will place a significant strain upon our management, operating and financial systems and resources. To accommodate any rapid growth and to compete effectively and manage future growth, if any, we will be required to implement and improve our operational, financial and management information systems, procedures and controls on a timely basis and to expand, train, motivate and manage our workforce. Our personnel, systems, procedures and controls might not be adequate to support our existing and future operations. Any failure to implement and improve our operational, financial and management systems or to expand, train, motivate or manage employees could have a materially adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We may be unable to obtain patents to protect our technologies from other companies with competitive products, and patents of other companies could prevent us from manufacturing, developing or marketing our products.

 

The patent positions of pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has not established a consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims that it will allow in biotechnology patents. If it allows broad claims, the number and cost of patent interference proceedings in the United States and the risk of infringement litigation may increase. If it allows narrow claims, the risk of infringement may decrease, but the value of our rights under our patents, licenses and patent applications may also decrease. In addition, the scope of the claims in a patent application can be significantly modified during prosecution before the patent is issued and/or narrowed in a patent re-examination. Consequently, we cannot know whether our pending applications will result in the issuance of patents or, if any patents are issued, whether they will provide us with significant proprietary protection or will be circumvented, invalidated, or found to be unenforceable. Until recently, patent applications in the United States were maintained in secrecy until the patents issued, and publication of discoveries in scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries. Patent applications filed in the United States after November 2000 generally will be published 18 months after the filing date unless the applicant certifies that the invention will not be the subject of a foreign patent application. We cannot assure you that, even if published, we will be aware of all such literature. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that the named inventors of our products and processes were the first to invent that product or process or that we were the first to pursue patent coverage for our inventions.

 

Our commercial success depends in part on our ability to maintain and enforce our proprietary rights.

 

If third-parties engage in activities that infringe our proprietary rights, our management's focus will be diverted and we may incur significant costs in asserting our rights. We may not be successful in asserting our proprietary rights, which could result in our patents being held invalid or a court holding that a third- party is not infringing, either of which would harm our competitive position. In addition, there can be no assurance that others will not design around our patented technology.

 

Moreover, we may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or other analogous proceedings in other parts of the world to determine priority of invention and the validity of patent rights granted or applied for, which could result in substantial cost and delay, even if the eventual outcome is favorable to us. We cannot assure you that our pending patent applications, if issued, would be held valid or enforceable. Additionally, many of our foreign patent applications have been published as part of the patent prosecution process in such countries. Protection of the rights revealed in published patent applications can be complex, costly and uncertain.

 

28
 

 

We also rely on trade secrets, know-how and confidentially provisions in our agreements with our collaborators, employees and consultants to protect our intellectual property.

 

We rely on trade secrets and know how to protect our intellectual property. During the course of our business, our employees, consultants and collaborators may be exposed to trade secrets and know-how, the disclosure of which would adversely affect our business. Such parties have signed non-disclosure agreements with us, however these parties may not comply with the terms of their agreements with us. If such parties violate these confidentiality provisions, we might be unable to adequately enforce our rights against these parties or to obtain adequate compensation for the damages caused by their unauthorized disclosure or use. Furthermore, our trade secrets or those of our collaborators may become known or may be independently discovered by others.

 

Our success also depends on avoiding infringement of the proprietary technologies of others.

 

In particular, there may be certain issued patents and patent applications claiming subject matter that we or our collaborators may be required to license in order to research, develop or commercialize our product candidates. In addition, third parties may assert infringement or other intellectual property claims against us based on our patents or other intellectual property rights. An adverse outcome in these proceedings could subject us to significant liabilities to third-parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from third-parties or require us to cease or modify our use of the technology. If we are required to license such technology, we cannot assure you that a license under such patents and patent applications will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Further, we may incur substantial costs defending ourselves in lawsuits against charges of patent infringement or other unlawful use of another's proprietary technology.

 

We are subject to extensive government regulations that may cause us to cancel or delay the introduction of our products to market.

 

Our research and development activities and the clinical investigation, manufacture, distribution and marketing of drug products are subject to extensive regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and other countries. Prior to marketing in the United States, federal laws, including the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, require that a drug undergo rigorous testing and an extensive regulatory approval process implemented by the FDA. To receive approval, we, or our collaborators must, among other things, demonstrate with substantial evidence from well-controlled clinical trials that the product is both safe and effective for each indication where approval is sought. Depending upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product and the nature of the disease or disorder to be treated, that approval process can take several years and require substantial expenditures. Data obtained from testing is susceptible to varying interpretations that could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approvals of our products. Drug testing is subject to complex FDA rules and regulations, including the requirement to conduct human testing on a large number of test subjects. We, our collaborators, or the FDA may suspend human trials at any time if a party believes that the test subjects are exposed to unacceptable health risks. There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be safe for human use. Other countries also have extensive requirements regarding clinical trials, market authorization and pricing. These regulatory schemes vary widely from country to country, but, in general, are subject to all of the risks associated with United States approvals.

RISKS RELATED TO DEVELOPMENT AND REGULATORY APPROVAL OF VG1177 AND MDT

 

We cannot be certain that VG1177 or MDT will receive regulatory approval, and without regulatory approval we will not be able to market our product candidates.

 

Our business currently depends on the successful development and commercialization of VG1177 and, to a lesser extent, on the successful development and commercialization of MDT. Our ability to generate revenue related to product sales, if ever, will depend on the successful development and regulatory approval of VG1177 and MDT for the treatment of our disease applications.

 

We currently have no products approved for sale and we cannot guarantee that we will ever have marketable products. The development of a product candidate and issues relating to its approval and marketing are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA in the United States and similar regulatory authorities in other countries, with regulations differing from country to country. We are not permitted to market our product candidates in the United States until we receive a New Drug Application, or NDA, approval from the FDA. We have not submitted any marketing applications for any of our product candidates.

 

An NDA must include extensive preclinical and clinical data and supporting information to establish the product candidate’s safety and effectiveness for each desired indication. NDAs must also include significant information regarding the chemistry, manufacturing and controls for the product. Obtaining approval of an NDA is a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process, and we may not be successful in obtaining approval. The FDA review processes can take years to complete and approval is never guaranteed. If we submit an NDA to the FDA, the FDA must decide whether to accept or reject the submission for filing. We cannot be certain that any submissions will be accepted for filing and review by the FDA.

 

Regulators of other jurisdictions have their own procedures for approval of product candidates. Regulatory authorities in countries outside of the United States also have requirements for approval of drug candidates with which we must comply prior to marketing in those countries. Obtaining regulatory approval for marketing of a product candidate in one country does not ensure that we will be able to obtain regulatory approval in any other country.

 

Even if a product is approved, the FDA may limit the indications for which the product may be marketed, require extensive warnings on the product labeling or require expensive and time-consuming clinical trials or reporting as conditions of approval. In addition, delays in approvals or rejections of marketing applications in the United States or other countries may be based upon many factors, including regulatory requests for additional analyses, reports, data, preclinical studies and clinical trials, regulatory questions regarding different interpretations of data and results, changes in regulatory policy during the period of product development and the emergence of new information regarding our product candidates or other products. Also, regulatory approval for any of our product candidates may be withdrawn.

 

We cannot predict whether our future trials and studies will be successful or whether regulators will agree with our conclusions regarding the preclinical studies and clinical trials we have conducted to date. If we are unable to obtain approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies for VG1177, MDT and our other product candidates, or if, subsequent to approval, we are unable to successfully commercialize VG1177, MDT, or our other product candidates, we will not be able to generate sufficient revenue to become profitable or to continue our operations.

 

30
 

 

Clinical trials for our product candidates are expensive, time-consuming, uncertain and susceptible to change, delay or termination.

 

Clinical trials are very expensive, time-consuming and difficult to design and implement. Even if the results of our clinical trials are favorable, clinical trials usually continue for several years and may take significantly longer to complete. In addition, we, the FDA, an Institutional Review Board, or other regulatory authorities, including state and local authorities, may suspend, delay or terminate our clinical trials at any time for various reasons, including:

 

·lack of effectiveness of our lead drug candidate or any other product candidate during clinical trials;
·discovery of serious or unexpected toxicities or side effects experienced by study participants or other safety issues;
·slower than expected rates of subject recruitment and enrollment rates in clinical trials;
·delays or inability in manufacturing or obtaining sufficient quantities of materials for use in clinical trials due to regulatory and manufacturing constraints;
·inadequacy of or changes in our manufacturing process or product formulation;
·delays in obtaining regulatory authorization to commence a study, including “clinical holds” or delays requiring suspension or termination of a study by a regulatory agency, such as the FDA, before or after a study is commenced;
·changes in applicable regulatory policies and regulations;
·delays or failure in reaching agreement on acceptable terms in clinical trial contracts or protocols with prospective clinical trial sites;
·delay or failure to supply product for use in clinical trials that conforms to regulatory specification;
·unfavorable results from ongoing clinical trials and pre-clinical studies;
·failure by us, our employees, our CROs or their employees to comply with all applicable FDA or other regulatory requirements relating to the conduct of clinical trials or the handling, storage, security and recordkeeping for controlled substances;
·failure to design appropriate clinical trial protocols;
·scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians and clinical institutions; and
·failure to design appropriate clinical trial protocols.

 

Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

There is a high rate of failure for drug candidates proceeding through clinical trials.

 

Generally, there is a high rate of failure for drug candidates proceeding through clinical trials. We may suffer significant setbacks in our clinical trials similar to those experienced by a number of other companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Further, even if we view the results of a clinical trial to be positive, the FDA or other regulatory authorities may disagree with our interpretation of the data. In the event that we obtain negative results from the VG1177 or MDT planned clinical trials or receive poor clinical results for other product candidates, or the FDA chooses to block progress of the trials due to potential Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls, or CMC, issues or other hurdles or does not approve our NDA for VG1177 or MDT, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain financing to continue our operations, our ability to execute on our current business plan will be materially impaired, our reputation in the industry and in the investment community would likely be significantly damaged and the price of our stock would likely decrease significantly.

 

Serious adverse events or other safety risks could require us to abandon development and preclude, delay or limit approval of our product candidates, or limit the scope of any approved label or market acceptance.

 

If VG1177, MDT, or any of our product candidates, prior to, or after any approval for commercial sale, cause serious or unexpected side effects, a number of potentially significant negative consequences could result, including:

 

·regulatory authorities may interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials;
·regulatory authorities may deny regulatory approval of our product candidates;
·regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the product or impose restrictions on its distribution in the form of a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy, or REMS;
·regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as warnings or contraindications or limitations on the indications for use;
·we may be required to change the way the product is administered or conduct additional clinical trials;
·we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients; or
·our reputation may suffer.

 

31
 

 

We may voluntarily suspend or terminate our planned clinical trials if, at any time, we believe that they present an unacceptable risk to participants or if preliminary data demonstrate that our product candidates are unlikely to receive regulatory approval or unlikely to be successfully commercialized. In addition, regulatory agencies, institutional review boards or data safety monitoring boards may, at any time, order the temporary or permanent discontinuation of our clinical trials or request that we cease using investigators in the clinical trials if they believe that the clinical trials are not being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, or that they present an unacceptable safety risk to participants. If we elect or are forced to suspend or terminate any planned clinical trial of VG1177, MDT or any other of our product candidates, the commercial prospects for that product will be harmed and our ability to generate product revenue from that product may be delayed or eliminated. Furthermore, any of these events could prevent us, or our partners, from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of the affected product and could substantially increase the costs of commercializing our product candidates and impair our ability to generate revenue from the commercialization of these products either by us or by our strategic alliance partners. As of the date of this filing, we have had no adverse events in our P-IND Phase I study of MDT.

 

Any failure by us to comply with existing regulations could harm our reputation and operating results.

 

We will be subject to extensive regulation by U.S. federal and state and foreign governments in each of the markets where we intend to sell VG1177 and MDT if, and when, they are approved. For example, we will have to adhere to all regulatory requirements including the FDA’s current Good Clinical Practices, Good Laboratory Practice and Good Manufacturing Practices requirements. If we fail to comply with applicable regulations, including FDA pre-or post-approval current Good Manufacturing Practices requirements, then the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities could sanction us. Even if a drug is FDA-approved, regulatory authorities may impose significant restrictions on a product’s indicated uses or marketing or impose ongoing requirements for potentially costly post-marketing studies.

 

If VG1177 or MDT is approved in the United States, it will be subject to ongoing regulatory requirements for labeling, packaging, storage, advertising, promotion, sampling, record-keeping and submission of safety and other post-market information, including both federal and state requirements in the United States. In addition, manufacturers and manufacturers’ facilities are required to comply with extensive FDA requirements, including ensuring that quality control and manufacturing procedures conform to current Good Manufacturing Practices. As such, we and our contract manufacturers are subject to continual review and periodic inspections to assess compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices. Accordingly, we and others with whom we work must continue to expend time, money and effort in all areas of regulatory compliance, including manufacturing, production and quality control. We will also be required to report certain adverse reactions and production problems, if any, to the FDA, and to comply with requirements concerning advertising and promotion for our products. Promotional communications with respect to prescription drugs are subject to a variety of legal and regulatory restrictions and must be consistent with the information in the product’s approved label. As such, we may not promote our products for indications or uses for which they do not have FDA approval.

 

If a regulatory agency discovers previously unknown problems with a product, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or problems with the facility where the product is manufactured, or disagrees with the promotion, marketing or labeling of the product, a regulatory agency may impose restrictions on that product or us, including requiring withdrawal of the product from the market. If we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, a regulatory agency or enforcement authority may:

 

·issue warning letters;
·impose civil or criminal penalties;
·suspend regulatory approval;
·suspend any of our ongoing clinical trials;
·refuse to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications submitted by us;
·impose restrictions on our operations, including closing our contract manufacturers’ facilities; or
·seize or detain products or require a product recall.

 

32
 

 

Any government investigation of alleged violations of law could require us to expend significant time and resources in response, and could generate negative publicity. Any failure to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements may significantly and adversely affect our ability to commercialize and generate revenue from VG1177 or MDT. If regulatory sanctions are applied or if regulatory approval is withdrawn, the value of our Company and our operating results will be adversely affected. Additionally, if we are unable to generate revenue from sales of VG1177 or MDT, our potential for achieving profitability will be diminished and the capital necessary to fund our operations will be increased.

 

Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business and damage our reputation. We expend significant resources on compliance efforts and such expenses are unpredictable and might adversely affect our results. Changing laws, regulations and standards might also create uncertainty, higher expenses and increase insurance costs.

 

We are substantially dependent on our ability to successfully and timely complete clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval to market our most advanced product candidates, VG1177 and MDT. Our business will be materially harmed and our stock price adversely affected if regulatory approval is not obtained with respect to these product candidates.

 

We intend to file an IND with the FDA for VG1177. Due to the inability of our multiple pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic methods to produce a proper dose response curve, we intend to modify VG1177 to increase stability, improve tolerability, and improve solubility. Pharmacokinetics refers to the direct study and measurement of compounds in the blood as a function of time. Pharmacodynamics in this case refers to using a biological response as a proximal measurement of a compound’s concentration in the body as a function of time. “

Stability refers to a compounds ability to resist degradation and decomposition. Tolerability refers to how well a biological system responds to a compound or a compound’s formulation, the latter includes the chemicals that allow the compound to be introduced into the biological system. Solubility refers to the propensity for a compound to go into solution for a given solvent or chemical; in this case, we desire VG1177 to possess greater affinity for aqueous or water-like chemicals. These common peptide modifications are not expected to alter VG1177’s biological activity. Once we have completed these modifications and conducted validating studies, we intend to resume our animal safety studies to support IND filing. We intend for lab research to continue using the original sequence of VG1177 in in vitro and in vivo models. Our success will depend, to a great degree, on our ability to obtain the requisite regulatory approval to market VG1177 overseas and in the United States. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals is costly, time consuming, uncertain, and subject to unanticipated delays. In order to obtain the necessary regulatory approval, we must demonstrate with substantial evidence from well-controlled clinical trials and to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory reviewing agency that VG1177 is both safe and efficacious. There is no assurance that we will be able to do so and, if we do, that the applicable regulatory requirements for approval will have been met. We cannot predict the ability of third party service providers to collect the data from our trials with VG1177, analyze the data, and deliver their final reports to us. There may be significant delays in this process. Regulatory authorities may require additional testing for safety and efficacy, which would result in a substantial delay in the regulatory approval process. If we fail to successfully obtain regulatory approvals for VG1177 or we face significant delays, our business will be materially harmed and our stock price will be adversely affected.

 

Doctors at Scott & White Healthcare in Temple, Texas, and the Cancer Therapy and Research Center at the University of Texas at San Antonio, are conducting a Phase I Physician’s IND trial for patients with late-stage ovarian cancer utilizing an MDT compound, called hydroxychloroquine, for which we hold the pending patent application for combination with an existing cancer drug, called sorafenib, which is marketed as Nexavar ®. Since its inception in July 2012, the trial has been expanded to encompass solid tumors, including breast, colon, lung, liver, and pancreatic cancers. Our Physician’s Investigational New Drug, or P-IND, Phase I clinical trial on late-stage patients with solid tumors has finished its fourth cohort with maximum dosing, and we are completing the analysis of the results of those trials. This trial is designed to assess the safety of a combination treatment using hydroxychloroquine, or HCQ, and sorafenib. The combination treatment is designed to disrupt the metabolism of the cancer cells, making them more prone to the effects of sorafenib. To date, patients in the P-IND Phase I trial have not experienced unacceptable levels of toxicity. Despite these results, we cannot predict that our future clinical trials will be successful or will be approved by the FDA. If we fail to successfully obtain regulatory approval for our MDT compound or if we face significant delays, our business will be materially harmed and our stock price will be adversely affected.

 

33
 

 

We depend on various suppliers to supply VG1177, our MDT compounds, and our other products.

 

We believe our current suppliers can produce sufficient material to support ongoing study of VG1177, our MDT cancer study. However, if approved and/or successful in these studies, we will have to source a manufacturer with significantly larger capacity. With regard to our drug programs and in particular the TPT programs, prior to initiation of the studies it is also required that we secure a manufacturer that will be able to meet production requirements that meet Good Manufacturing Practices and Good Laboratory Practices throughout the development process and possibly through marketing and distribution. Our manufacturer is Ambiopharm, Inc. Ambiopharm synthesizes the peptide on a contract basis for specific amounts. We do not currently have a contract or an exclusivity agreement with Ambiopharm. Ambiopharm is capable of procuring Good Manufacturing Practices grade compounds, but we cannot be certain that they will be able to produce our product in the future. Changing manufacturers of a drug product can involve significant regulatory delay while comparing products made at the old manufacturer with products made at the new manufacturer. Consequently, while changing manufacturers is possible, it is highly desirable to avoid doing so. There is no guarantee that we will be able to find a manufacturer that can meet our production and distribution requirements throughout the life of our drug products. If we are required to change manufacturers, there will likely be significant delays in our ability to study or, if approved, sell our drug products, which would materially harm our business and adversely affect our stock price.

 

With regard to our MDT compounds, which are used in combination with other existing drugs including drugs that are approved or have been deregistered by the FDA, the availability of such third-party drugs cannot be guaranteed on terms that are reasonable or at all. While we do not anticipate manufacturing issues in the foreseeable future, we are dependent on the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, or UTHSCSA, for procurement of MDT compounds in our ongoing Phase I P-IND cancer trial. Disruption of the supply of these third party compounds would delay or impair our ability to study our compounds in combination with them, and would have a materially harmful effect on our business and adversely affect our stock price.

 

Clinical trials are long, expensive and uncertain processes and overseas regulators and the FDA may ultimately not approve any of our product candidates.

 

We cannot assure you that data collected from pre-clinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates will be sufficient to support approval by overseas regulators or the FDA, the failure of which could delay our profitability and adversely affect our stock price.

 

All of our research and development programs are at an early stage and clinical trials are long, expensive, and uncertain processes. Clinical trials may not be commenced or completed on schedule, and government regulators may not ultimately approve our product candidates for commercial sale. Further, even if the results of our pre-clinical studies or clinical trials are initially positive, it is possible that we will obtain different results in the later stages of drug development or that results seen in clinical trials will not continue with longer-term treatment. Drugs in late stages of clinical development may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through initial clinical testing. For example, positive results in early Phase I or Phase II clinical trials may not be repeated in larger Phase II or Phase III clinical trials. All of our potential drug candidates are prone to the risks of failure inherent in drug development. The clinical trials of any of our drug candidates, including VG1177, could be unsuccessful, which would prevent us from commercializing the drug. Our failure to develop safe, commercially viable drugs would substantially impair our ability to generate revenues and sustain our operations and would materially harm our business and adversely affect our stock price.

 

34
 

 

If we fail to maintain our existing or establish new collaborative relationships, or if our collaborators do not devote adequate resources to the development and commercialization of our licensed drug candidates, we may have to reduce our rate of product development and may not see products brought to market or be able to achieve profitability.

 

We rely heavily upon our current collaborative relationships with Dr. Newell Rogers, Dr. Evan Newell and Dr. Brett Mitchell, Scott & White Healthcare and Dr. Richard Tobin, all of whom are engaged in biomedical research related to our product candidates. Because we currently have no product candidates that are approved for sale and ready for commercialization, our success depends upon our ability to maintain our existing collaborative relationships with our key partners. If we are unable to maintain these relationships, we may not be able to meet the requirements for approval by the FDA or other comparable regulatory agencies and we may not achieve or maintain profitability.

 

For us to receive any significant revenues from sale of our products, our collaborators must advance drug candidates through clinical trials, establish the safety and efficacy of our drug candidates, obtain regulatory approvals and achieve market acceptance of those products. As a result, if a collaborator elects to terminate its efforts, our ability to commercialize our products may be significantly impaired.

 

Below is a summary of the compensation that we are obligated to pay to our consultant pursuant to our consulting agreements with them. All options and shares have been adjusted to reflect our 1 for 600 reverse split on November 26, 2012, or the 2012 Reverse Split.

We also agreed to indemnify the consultants against third party claims brought as a result of their good faith performances of services pursuant to the agreement.

 

If we fail to establish new collaborative relationships, or if our new collaborators do not devote adequate resources to the development and commercialization of our licensed drug candidates, we may have to reduce our rate of product development and may not see products brought to market or be able to achieve profitability.

 

We may need to collaborate with additional parties in order to gain approval of our product candidates. As we progress through the FDA approval stages, we may need to enter into agreements in order to conduct the necessary studies. If we cannot obtain the partnership of such third parties on terms that are acceptable, or at all, then we may never be able to sell any of our product candidates and we may fail.

 

Furthermore, we anticipate needing to enter into new collaborative relationships in the future to manufacture, market and distribute our products. We have not entered into such partnerships and do not expect to until an IND is approved and/or clinical trials in the United States have progressed. It is likely we will grant exclusive commercialization and marketing rights to our products to third parties, and such parties will have substantial control over the continued efforts in their territories and the resources they commit to the programs. Accordingly, the success of the commercialization of our products in some or all territories may substantially depend on the efforts of third parties and is to a degree beyond our control.

 

For us to receive any significant revenues from sale of our products, any such collaborators must advance drugs through clinical trials, establish the safety and efficacy of our drug candidates, obtain regulatory approvals and achieve market acceptance of those products. As a result, if a collaborator elects to terminate its efforts, our ability to commercialize our products may be significantly impaired.

 

36
 

 

Because of the uncertainty of pharmaceutical pricing, reimbursement, and healthcare reform measures, we may be unable to sell our products profitably.

 

The availability of reimbursement by governmental and other third-party payors affects the market for any pharmaceutical product. These third-party payors continually attempt to contain or reduce the costs of healthcare. There have been legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare system recently, including, most notably, the Affordable Care Act. Significant uncertainty exists with respect to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products under existing laws, including the new Affordable Care Act. It is uncertain whether reimbursement will be available for any of our product candidates if and when they are approved at a rate that is acceptable to most patients, if any reimbursement is available at all. We might not be able to sell our products profitably or recoup the value of our investment in product development if reimbursement is unavailable or limited in scope.

 

As a result of intense competition and technological change in the pharmaceutical industry, the marketplace may not accept our products, and we may not be able to complete successfully against other companies in our industry and achieve profitability.

 

Many of our competitors have drug products that have already been approved or are in development, and operate large, well-funded research and development programs in these fields. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial and management resources, superior intellectual property positions and greater manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities, areas in which we have limited or no experience. In addition, many of our competitors have significantly greater experience than we do in undertaking preclinical testing and clinical trials of new or improved pharmaceutical products and obtaining required regulatory approvals. Consequently, our competitors may obtain FDA and other regulatory approvals for product candidates sooner and may be more successful in manufacturing and marketing their products than us or our collaborators. Existing and future products, therapies and technological approaches will compete directly with the products we seek to develop. Current and prospective competing products may provide greater therapeutic benefits for a specific problem, may offer easier delivery or may offer comparable performance at a lower cost. Any product candidate that we develop and that obtains regulatory approval must then compete for market acceptance and market share. Our product candidates may not gain market acceptance among physicians, patients, healthcare payors and the medical community. Further, any products we develop may become obsolete before we recover any expenses we incurred in connection with the development of these products. As a result, we may never achieve profitability.

 

If any of our products receive regulatory approval, the approval will be limited to those disease states and conditions for which the product is safe and effective, as demonstrated through clinical trials.

 

In addition, results of pre-clinical studies and clinical trials with respect to our products could subject us to adverse product labeling requirements that could harm the sale of such products. Even if regulatory approval is obtained, later discovery of previously unknown problems may result in restrictions of the product, including withdrawal of the product from the market. Further, governmental approval may subject us to ongoing requirements for post-marketing studies. Even if we obtain governmental approval, a marketed product, its respective manufacturer and its manufacturing facilities are subject to unannounced inspections by the FDA and must comply with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices and other regulations. These regulations govern all areas of production, record keeping, personnel and quality control. If a manufacturer fails to comply with any of the manufacturing regulations, it may be subject to, among other things, product seizures, recalls, fines, injunctions, suspensions or revocations of marketing licenses, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution. Other countries also impose similar manufacturing requirements.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 

Trading in our common stock is limited and the price of our common stock may be subject to substantial volatility.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB marketplace. We expect our common stock to continue to be quoted on the OTCQB for the foreseeable future. Broker-dealers may decline to trade in OTCQB stocks given the market for such securities is often limited, the stocks are more volatile and the risk to investors is greater. These factors may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of their shares. This could cause our stock price to decline.

 

Additionally, the price of our common stock may be volatile as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

·our ability to successfully conceive and to develop new products;
·our ability to obtain customers and demand for our products;
·the timing and level of market acceptance of our new products;
·our ability to successfully manage any future acquisitions of businesses, solutions or technologies; and
·price and volume fluctuations in the stock market at large which do not relate to our operating performance.

 

“Penny stock” rules may make buying or selling our securities difficult which may make our stock less liquid and make it harder for investors to buy and sell our securities.

 

Trading in our securities is subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules and it is anticipated that trading in our securities will continue to be subject to the penny stock rules for the foreseeable future. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends our securities to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements may discourage broker-dealers from recommending transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the liquidity of our securities and consequently adversely affect the market price for our securities.

 

The price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially.

 

You should consider an investment in our common stock to be risky, and you should invest in our common stock only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuations in the market value of your investment. Some factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate, in addition to the other risks mentioned in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this annual report are:

 

·sale of our common stock by our stockholders, executives, and directors;
·volatility and limitations in trading volumes of our shares of common stock;
·our ability to obtain financings to conduct and complete research and development activities including, but not limited to, our human clinical trials, and other business activities;
·our ability to secure resources and the necessary personnel to conduct clinical trials on our desired schedule;

 

38
 

 

·commencement, enrollment or results of our clinical trials of VG1177 or any future clinical trials we may conduct;
·changes in the development status of VG1177;
·any delays or adverse developments or perceived adverse developments with respect to the FDA’s review of our planned pre-clinical and clinical trials;
·any delay in our submission for studies or product approvals or adverse regulatory decisions, including failure to receive regulatory approval for VG1177;
·our announcements or our competitors’ announcements regarding new products or services, enhancements, significant contracts, acquisitions or strategic investments;
·unanticipated safety concerns related to the use of VG1177;
·failures to meet external expectations or management guidance;
·changes in our capital structure or dividend policy;
·our cash position;
·announcements and events surrounding financing efforts, including debt and equity securities;
·our inability to enter into new markets or develop new products;
·reputational issues;
·competition from existing technologies and products or new technologies and products that may emerge;
·announcements of acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, new products, capital commitments, or other events by us or our competitors;
·changes in general economic, political and market conditions in or any of the regions in which we conduct our business;
·changes in industry conditions or perceptions;
·changes in valuations of similar companies or groups of companies;
·analyst research reports, recommendation and changes in recommendations, price targets, and withdrawals of coverage;
·departures and additions of key personnel;
·disputes and litigations related to intellectual properties, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations;
·changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations, or accounting practices and other dynamics; and
·other events or factors, many of which may be out of our control.

 

In addition, if the market for stocks in our industry or industries related to our industry, or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management.

 

If an active, liquid trading market for our common stock does not develop, you may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at or above the price you paid for it.

 

Although our common stock is listed on the OTCQB marketplace, an active and liquid trading market for our common stock has not yet and may not ever develop or be sustained. You may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at or above the price you paid for our stock if trading in our stock is not active.

 

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our shares of common stock so any returns will be limited to the value of our shares.

 

We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the increase, if any, of our share price.

Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock have special voting rights that allow them to out vote all common stock holders on any voting matter.

 

Our Series A Preferred stock may vote as common stock on all matters requiring shareholder approval. Additionally, the Series A Preferred stock has special voting rights that allow the aggregate Series A Preferred votes to be 1.01 times greater than the aggregate number of votes for the issued and outstanding common stock. This means that the Series A Preferred shareholders may out vote all the common stock shareholders on any and all matters requiring shareholder approval, which may make it difficult to complete some corporate transactions without the support of the Series A Preferred shareholders and may prevent a change in control. As of December 31, 2014, our Chairman of our Board and Vice President of Research and Development held 5,573,725 or 57.4% of the issued and outstanding Series A preferred stock.

 

Our management holds significant control over our voting stock and may be able to control our Company indefinitely.

 

Our management has significant control over our voting stock, which may make it difficult to complete some corporate transactions without their support and may prevent a change in control. As of December 31, 2014, our management owned or had the rights to acquire 74.9% of our common stock and the Chairman of our Board and Vice President of Research and Development owned 57.4% of the Series A Preferred stock.

 

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

 

Pursuant to the Strategic Collaboration Agreement, MedBridge Development Company, LLC, or MDC, has agreed to and is currently providing us with approximately 3,000 square feet of office space in Santa Barbara, California, which serves as our principal executive offices. Under this agreement the value of this service as well as other services is convertible into shares of common stock. We do not have any lease agreements in place. We believe that our properties will be adequate to meet our needs through the foreseeable future.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

We may be involved from time to time in ordinary litigation, negotiation and settlement matters that will not have a material effect on our operations or finances. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us or our officers and directors in their capacity as such that could have a material impact on our operations or finances.

Equity Incentive Plan

 

On December 20, 2013, our Board of Directors approved an equity incentive plan which provides for up to 12,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the terms and conditions of such plan. This plan was subsequently approved by a majority vote of the stockholders on December 30, 2013. The purpose of the plan is to provide a means by which eligible recipients of stock awards may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the common stock through the granting of the following stock awards: (i) incentive stock options, (ii) non-statutory stock options, (iii) restricted stock awards and (iv) stock appreciation rights. We, by means of the plan, seek to retain the services of the group of persons eligible to receive stock awards, to secure and retain the services of new members of this group and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of our Company and our affiliates. 

 

On January 2, 2015, our Board of Directors approved an amendment of the 2013 equity incentive plan to increase the share reserve that may be issued per the plan from 12,000,000 shares of common stock to 18,000,000 shares of common stock. All of the terms of the 2013 equity incentive plan were unaffected by the amendment and remain in full force and effect.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

None of the offerings were registered or qualified in any jurisdiction. In each case, the number of investors was limited, the investors were either accredited or otherwise qualified, had access to material information about us, and restrictions were placed on the resale of the securities. Certain amounts of the common stock were issued, as noted, as free trading since the consideration rendered for the common stock was rendered more than twelve months prior to the issuance of the common stock. References to pre-split shares and related amounts indicate changes resulting from our 1-for-600 reverse stock split effective November 26, 2012 and references to dates subsequent to that date are for post-split shares.

Business Overview

 

We are a drug discovery and development company researching two core technologies: Targeted Peptide Technology, or TPT, which is currently our main focus, and Metabolic Disruption Technology, or MDT, which is our secondary focus. We have one drug research program in clinical stage, a MDT therapy, which helps, in combination, with other drugs to fight cancers with solid tumors in situations where the cancer is resistant to the initial cancer drug therapy. Our MDT trials were initially for ovarian cancer, but have since expanded to include other solid tumors, including those located in the breast, colon, liver, lung, and pancreas. Additionally, we have one drug research program in pre-clinical stages, a TPT therapy for HIV/AIDS using VG1177, our computationally designed peptide. This TPT therapy requires significant additional work before the commencement of clinical trials, including favorable animal toxicity study results and then regulatory review and approval of protocols, as well as additional financing.

Our research and development programs are based on technology that Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers developed while working at the University of Colorado, the University of Vermont, and Texas A&M University. We hold the exclusive license to this technology. We have also collaborated with a multitude of scientists and clinicians at universities throughout the country, including Stanford University, Harvard University, and the Scott & White Healthcare Center, where we test TPT in inflammatory disease applications in which we believe TPT could have a benefit.

Current Studies

 

Physician’s IND Phase I study

 

Our Physician’s Investigational New Drug, or P-IND, Phase I clinical trial on late-stage patients with solid tumors is entering its fourth cohort with maximum dosing, and we are completing the analysis of the results of those trials. This trial is designed to assess the safety of a combination treatment using hydroxychloroquine, or HCQ, and a cancer drug sorafenib, which is currently marketed as Nexavar®. The combination treatment is designed to disrupt the metabolism of the cancer cells, making them more prone to the effects of sorafenib. To date, patients in the P-IND Phase I trial have not experienced unacceptable levels of toxicity. On March 14, 2014, we reported two clinical responses in cohort 3 with disease stabilization in a patient with four months of disease stabilization in a patient with metastatic ovarian cancer, which has spread throughout portions of the body, and five months of disease stabilization in a patient with triple-negative breast cancer, which is a type of cancer that does not express three genes that are key to traditional cancer treatment, making treatment more difficult. The final patient in cohort number 3 has stage IV, or metastatic, adenocarcinoma of the lung, which is a common form of lung cancer, and has four separate lung lesions. During the course of the study, the four lesions have all regressed about 20% in size. We hold an exclusive license to the use patent application for this combination treatment.

 

This study, funded in part by a grant of $1.5 million to the Scott and White Foundation, is being conducted at the Cancer Therapy and Research Center at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at the San Antonio Institute for Drug Development, or CTRC, and Scott and White Hospital, or S&W, in Temple, Texas, under primary investigator, Dr. Tyler Curiel. The study is being carried out by physicians and scientists at the CTRC, with the close involvement of Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers and a liaison employed by the Company to coordinate administration and communication. Also, the Institutional Review Board of the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio has approved further study to include all solid tumors, which include breast, colon, lung, liver, pancreatic, and other types of cancers.

 

VG1177

 

In October 2013, we contracted ITR Canada, Inc. to conduct IND-enabling animal safety studies with our patented peptide VG1177. Due to the inability of our multiple pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic methods to produce a proper dose response curve, that is, using direct and indirect methods for measuring peptide exposure in vivo, we intend to modify VG1177 to increase stability, improve tolerability, and improve solubility. Stability refers to a compound’s ability to resist degradation and decomposition. Tolerability refers to how well a biological system responds to a compound or a compound’s formulation, the latter includes the chemicals that allow the compound to be introduced into the biological system. Solubility refers to the propensity for a compound to go into solution for a given solvent or chemical; in this case, we desire VG1177 to possess greater affinity for aqueous or water-like chemicals. These common peptide modifications are not expected to alter VG1177's biological activity. Once we have completed these modifications and conducted validating studies, we intend to resume our animal safety studies. Concurrently, we intend for lab research to continue using the original sequence of VG1177 in vivo and in vitro. We now expect these studies to conclude in early 2016. These animal safety studies are the next important step to move toward clinical trials.

Plans

 

With the completion of the P-IND Phase I study with the combination treatment for solid carcinomas, we anticipate an expanded Phase I trial or a Phase II trial, though we presently do not have the funds to pursue this further development.

 

We have authorized and funded an animal study to develop our proprietary peptide VG1177, a series of studies that we believe will be complete in early 2016, and assuming adequate funding, we intend to initiate a Phase I study using an injectable form of VG1177 thereafter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments and estimates. The critical accounting policies affecting our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements are discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this annual report on Form 10-K. We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements because they involve the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Development Stage Enterprise

 

We are a development stage company and will continue to be considered as such until we have our own significant operations and revenues. We do not currently have any revenue and expect to continue to incur substantial additional research, development and operating costs related to the continuation of the development of therapeutic and diagnostic pharmaceutical and medical products.

 

Impaired Asset Policy

 

We follow generally accepted accounting policies related to accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This provides for a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. Long-lived assets are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operation.

 

Reclassifications and Restatements

 

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified with respect to the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not resulted in any material changes to our accumulated deficit of the net losses presented.

 

58
 

 

Research and Development

 

We charge research and development expenses to operations as incurred.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

We compute loss per share in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effects of stock options and warrants. Dilutive loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 because common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. We calculate fair value based on assumptions that market participants use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to our Company. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including the entity’s own credit risk.

 

A fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs is established. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels and which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

These levels are:

 

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

 

Our financial instruments consist of: cash, notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued interest, convertible notes payable and various forms of convertible indebtedness. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value based on their liquidity, their short-term nature or application of appropriate risk based discount rates to determine fair value. These financial assets and liabilities are valued using level 2 inputs, except for cash, which is at level 1. We are not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risk arising from these financial instruments, except that certain convertible instruments may be satisfied in shares of common stock at the option of the holder and in some instances by us, which per share price can fluctuate.

 

59
 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We record stock-based compensation by using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We have recorded a full valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset associated with our accumulated losses $16.1 million to zero, which is the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

We have financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk and consist primarily of cash. We routinely maintain cash and temporary cash investments at certain financial institutions and, from time to time, these amounts are substantially in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance limits. We believe that these financial institutions are of high quality and the risk of loss is minimal. At December 31, 2014, we had no cash balances in excess of FDIC limits.

 

Compensated Absences

 

We have not accrued a liability in accordance with ASC 710, as the amount of the liability cannot be reasonably estimated at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to us but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Our management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, our legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is possible that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in our consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Revenue

 

We have not generated any revenue from product sales or royalties from product sales to date. We do not expect to earn revenues until we have received FDA approval to market our products, if that occurs.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses increased 7% or $57,185 to $865,702 in 2014 as compared to $808,517 in 2013. Of this, we incurred $752,503 in cash expenditures in 2014 as compared to $561,641 in 2013 with respect to new testing and research. This included testing being conducted for us by ITR Canada, under which payments began in the fourth quarter of 2013. ITR expense increased by $277,823 to $400,201 in 2014 as compared to $122,378 in 2013, as a result of a complete 12 months of research in 2014. Other expenditures consisted principally of compensation to consultants and advisors assisting in development of our licensed science. Included were reimbursement of certain expenses incurred related to the development of our licensed patents by the University of Texas, including fees for Dr. Newell’s services pursuant to a funding agreement with Dr. M. Karen Newell, Scott & White, a non-profit organization, and us. Non-cash expenses decreased by $132,109 to $114,767 in 2014 to $246,876 in 2013. The principal reason for the decrease was the issuance of warrants with a fair value of $150,000 in 2013 to a consultant, which did not repeat in 2014, partially offset by an increase in other stock based compensation, net.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased 33% or $442,772 to $911,355 in 2014 as compared to $1,354,127 in 2013. Cash expenditures increased by $126,808 to $292,120 in 2014 as compared to $165,312 in 2013. The increase is primarily related to increased computer costs, insurance costs, including directors and officers insurance, and a reduction of miscellaneous liabilities recorded in 2013, increased general and administrative expenses in 2014, partially offset by decreases in travel, rent and other miscellaneous administrative costs. In 2014 we incurred a non-cash charge of $618,975 in stock based compensation for the fair value of common stock options granted in 2014 pursuant to the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan as compared to $1,197,468 in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower price and volatility of our common stock in 2014 as compared to 2013.

 

61
 

 

Certain employee salaries and consulting fees are not paid in cash as incurred under the respective agreements, but are evidenced by unsecured, convertible, non-interest bearing notes due December 31, 2015. The holder may convert any amount of these notes prior to maturity at a 20% discount from the 20 day volume weighted average price, or VWAP, on the conversion date. All notes that remain outstanding on maturity will automatically convert into common shares at a 20% discount from the 20 day VWAP upon maturity.

 

Interest Expense and Interest Income

 

Interest expense, substantially all noncash charges, increased by 157% or $1,684,045 to $2,759,950 in 2014 from $1,075,905 in 2013. Interest includes accretion of debt discount of $2,477,199 in 2014 and $1,017,795 in 2013, or an increase of $1,459,404 associated with the fair value of warrants granted in connection with financing transactions principally in the form of convertible debenture and warrants in 2014 and 2013.

 

Derivative Benefit (Expense)

 

Derivative benefit (expense) was a benefit of $679,659 in 2014 as compared to an expense of $2,495,663 in 2013. Derivative benefit (expense), a non-cash charge, consists principally of the fair valuation of instruments with variable conversion features and the period to period changes in these amounts. These 2013 and 2014 amounts were principally attributable to amended and restated convertible promissory notes, modifications with DMBM, convertible notes payable to certain officers and consultants and with respect to other transactions related to satisfactions of liabilities in shares.

 

Management Salaries

 

Management salaries, including fees, increased $208,818 or 27% to $981,250 in 2014 as compared to $772,432 in 2013. This increase was largely in connection with the $174,000 increase in fees for services provided by MedBridge Development Company incurred in 2014 as compared to 2013 and in executive services funded by the MedBridge Venture Fund financing, both of which arrangements originated in 2013. These increases are attributable to a full year of services in 2014 as compared to 2013.

 

Legal and Professional Fees

 

Legal and professional fees increased by 49% or $424,120 to $1,298,253 in 2014 as compared to $874,133 in 2013. This was principally due to increased accounting and auditor fees related to our preparation and filing with the SEC of our Form 10, which included fees for prior years’ audits as necessary for inclusion, partially offset by a reduction in counsel fees incurred in registering patents and licenses of our licensed sciences. In 2014, this legal and professional non-cash expenses included approximately $174,000 of fair value of common stock issued for certain accounting services and for legal fees.

 

Consulting Fees

 

Consulting fees decreased by 12% or $11,360 to $87,061 in 2014 and from $98,421 in 2013, principally due to decreases for services related to investor relations and other expenses.

 

Net Loss

 

Our net loss attributable to common shareholders for 2014 decreased by $1,230,218 to $6,189,504 as compared to $7,419,722 for 2013. Operating expenses increased by 6% or $235,991 to $4,143,621 in 2014 as compared to $3,907,630 for the comparable period of 2013. Aggregate non-cash expenses incurred in 2014 approximated $2,078,723 as compared to $3,571,568 in 2013, a decrease of $1,492,845. The principal reasons for the decrease were a reduction in derivative expense of $3,175,322 in 2014 as compared to 2013; offset by an increase in interest expense, including accretion of discount, of $1,684,045 in 2014 as compared to 2013.

 

62
 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, our accumulated deficit amounted to $106 million. In the future, we may raise additional capital from external sources in order to continue the longer term efforts contemplated under our business plan. We expect to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may need to raise additional capital to pursue our product development initiatives, to penetrate markets for the sale of our products and continue as a going concern. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. Our management believes that we have access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means, if needed; however, we can provide no assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if needed.

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

As of December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $34,000. Those funds have since been utilized. Subsequent to December 31, 2014, we received $29,000 from related and unrelated parties as described in our 2014 consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Since our inception, substantially all of our operations have been financed through sales of equity securities and loans. The following are financing transactions pursuant to which we have received proceeds in the year ended December 31, 2014, transactions pursuant to which we received commitments and/or proceeds in the post December 31, 2014 balance sheet period and pursuant to which we may be contractually entitled to receive additional proceeds.

 

DMBM, Inc.

 

On July 1, 2013, we entered into a release and settlement agreement with DMBM, Inc. modifying the conversion price of convertible debentures aggregating $130,000 issued for services through December 31, 2014 to JTL Enterprises Corp. and acquired by DMBM. Through January 2014, $130,000 in debentures issued to JTL were acquired by DMBM. Through December 31, 2014 DMBM has made $121,500 in payments and is delinquent in its payment obligation for the remaining balance. JTL has the right to demand that we make payments pursuant to the terms of the original notes. We have not received such demand. The release and settlement agreement provides that in order to retire the debt we issue shares of common stock at the lower of $0.05 per share or at a discount of 30% from the average of the closing price for the 14 trading days prior to the date of conversion of the JTL notes acquired by DMBM. On September 11, 2014, DMBM submitted a notice of conversion to us pertaining to the above mentioned note purchase agreements and converted $68,000 outstanding principal balance and received 1,360,000 common shares at $0.05 per share. At December 31, 2014, the balance due to DMBM in accordance with the R & S is $62,000.

 

Effective on January 1, 2013, we entered into an amended and restated amendment to convertible debentures with DMBM. In consideration of change in conversion prices on outstanding debentures, the right to receive interest was waived by DMBM and DMBM relinquished its right to receive payment in cash. For advances made in 2012 or before, the debt may be converted into common shares at the lower of $0.21 per share or a 30% discount to the volume-weighted average closing price for the 14 trading days prior to conversion. For advances made in 2013, the debt may be converted into common shares at the lower of $0.05 per share or a 30% discount to the volume-weighted average closing price for the 14 trading days prior to conversion. Under terms of the underlying debentures, DMBM may not engage in any conversions of debt to shares including under the amended terms if upon receipt of such shares DMBM would beneficially own an aggregate number of shares greater than 9.99% of our total issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

 

63
 

 

On September 15, 2013, we entered into a convertible promissory note and warrant purchase agreement with DMBM pursuant to which, through December 31, 2014, DMBM funded $220,000 in cash advances in exchange for an unsecured convertible note, due September 15, 2015, with an interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Of the proceeds, $86,667 was received in 2013, and $133,333 was received in 2014. DMBM received a warrant to purchase 880,000 shares of our common stock at $0.45 per share, exercisable for the period from the fourth year anniversary to the fifth year anniversary from the date of the agreement. The warrant includes a cashless exercise feature. If the note or any portion of it are not converted by DMBM prior to maturity, then on maturity the outstanding amount of the note and accrued interest will automatically be converted into common stock at the conversion price of $0.0588. In the event that we are in default at maturity, the balance due under the note would be payable in cash. Shares will be issuable on conversion of the note in total in four equal tranches of 25% each on the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015, June 15, 2015 and September 15, 2015, to the extent not earlier converted. Under certain circumstance, while the note is outstanding, the conversion price shall be adjusted to the lower price at which we issue shares or other securities convertible into shares or exercisable for shares, except for issuances related to borrowings from banks or similar financial institutions; securities issued to employees, consultants, officers or directors pursuant to any compensation plan approved by the board of directors and limited to 15% of the then outstanding common stock; or securities in a public offering with an aggregate offering price to the public of at least $50,000,000.

 

KED Consulting Group

 

On January 24, 2014, we entered into a convertible promissory note and warrant purchase agreement with KED Consulting Group LLC, pursuant to which KED is obligated to provide $270,000 in funding at a rate of 8% interest per annum; $100,000 was paid directly in satisfaction of a Company vendor liability and $170,000 was paid to us in installments in 2014. The notes issued under this agreement are due September 15, 2015 and can be converted at any time into common shares, with a mandatory conversion at maturity. KED received warrants to purchase 1,080,000 shares of common stock at $0.45 per share, upon execution of this agreement. The warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, on or after the fourth anniversary of the issue date and up to the and including the fifth anniversary. Shares will be issuable on conversion of these notes in total in four equal tranches of 25% each on the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015, June 15, 2015 and September 15, 2015, to the extent not earlier converted, at the conversion price per share, or $0.0588. All proceeds were received by December 31, 2014. Of the $270,000: $100,000 was paid directly in satisfaction of a vendor liability, and $170,000 was paid in cash in installments. Debt discount of $270,000 was recorded of which $190,700 was amortized to interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, these notes were convertible into 4,591,837 common shares. The warrant includes a cashless exercise feature.

 

Effective on March 15, 2015, we entered into a convertible promissory note and warrant purchase agreement with KED pursuant to which KED agreed to 12 monthly payments of $50,000 commencing on March 15, 2015 in the aggregate amount of $600,000 in exchange for a convertible promissory note and warrants. The note matures March 15, 2016, and has an interest rate of 8% per annum. Principal and accrued interest are convertible at the option of KED in four equal tranches on June 15, 2015, September 15, 2015, December 15, 2015 and March 15, 2016 at a conversion price 10% lower than the lowest three day average closing prices of our common stock starting on January 12, 2015 and ending on February 11, 2015 which was $0.0582. Any amount remaining outstanding upon maturity will automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the conversion price. We also issued to KED a warrant to purchase four shares of common stock for each $1 of principal at $0.45 per share, or a total of 2,400,000 shares of common stock, exercisable on any date from the four-year anniversary to the five-year anniversary from the date of the agreement. These warrants have a cashless exercise feature. The agreement contains a default provision, among others, which states that if KED is delinquent in any monthly payment which is not cured within 10 days of written or electronic notice to KED by us, than we may cancel the agreement. In that event KED would be entitled to retain notes and that number of warrants associated with payments made prior to the default.

Other Financing Agreements

 

Effective March 1, 2014, individuals holding $215,000 in convertible notes issued in 2012 entered into convertible promissory notes due September 15, 2015 with an interest rate of 8% per annum and warrant purchase agreements, which replaced their original notes with us. These individuals waived accrued interest and any other defaults that may have existed as of that date on the replaced notes. These individuals also received warrants to purchase 860,000 shares of common stock on execution of this convertible promissory note and warrant purchase agreement. The notes conversion price is $0.0588 per share and the warrant exercise price is $0.45 per share. Conversion rights and repayment on conversion terms are similar to the January 24, 2014 KED agreement. The warrants have a cashless exercise provision.

 

On August 22, 2014, we entered into a convertible promissory note and warrant purchase agreement with an individual, Hock Tiam Tay in the amount of $200,000, pursuant to which we received $50,000 in cash. In exchange, we issued a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $50,000 and a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock. The note has an annual interest rate of 8% and is convertible at the option of the holder in four equal tranches on November 22, 2015, February 22, 2016, May 22, 2016 and August 22, 2016. Any balance of principal and interest outstanding upon maturity will automatically be converted into common shares. The conversion price is $0.113 per share. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.85 per common share and shall be exercisable from August 22, 2018 until August 22, 2019. The warrant has a cashless exercise feature. Through August 21, 2015, the investor has the right to invest up to an additional $150,000 for which similar consideration as above would be issued.

 

Effective on October 19, 2010, we entered into a release and settlement agreement with Timothy & Thomas, LLC in order to settle litigation. We originally issued a convertible debenture to Timothy & Thomas for a total of $1,900,000 payable over the course of three years, as follows: $1,000,000 by November 1, 2011; $450,000 by November 1, 2012; and $450,000 by November 1, 2013, with a stated interest rate of 0.35%. On November 8, 2011, we issued 136,093 (81,655,691 pre-split) shares of our common stock in satisfaction of a $1,000,000 principal payment, plus $6,982 of accrued interest, due November 1, 2011. In 2013, $37,500 of the debt was converted for 375,000 shares of common stock. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the gross liability of $862,500 was recorded at its net present value of $587,097 and $543,452, respectively, determined using an 8% discount rate. The debt may be converted into common shares at the 15-day volume-weighted average closing price prior to the conversion.

 

Effective March 1, 2014, investors in unsecured 6% convertible debentures aggregating a total of $215,000 exchanged these debentures and any associated warrants, waived any defaults, and accrued and penalty interest on the notes for an equal principal amount under a convertible promissory note and warrant purchase agreement with the same terms and conditions as described in the preceding paragraph. These investors received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 860,000 shares at $0.45 per share exercisable at any time from the four year anniversary to the fifth year anniversary of this arrangement. Debt discount of $215,000 was recorded of which $159,541 was amortized as interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2014. This amount, net of unamortized discount, is included in Convertible Debt – Other. At December 31, 2014, these notes were convertible into 3,656,463 shares of common stock. The notes are unsecured, bear interest at 8% per annum, and are convertible into common shares at $0.0588 per share. Shares will be issuable on conversion of these notes in total in four equal tranches of 25% each on the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015, June 15, 2015 and September 15, 2015, to the extent not earlier converted, at the conversion price per share of $0.0588. All warrants have a cashless exercise feature.

 

Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, L.P.

 

On March 28, 2014, as amended May 9, 2014, September 4, 2014 and February 4, 2015, we entered into an investment agreement with Dutchess Opportunity Fund II L.P. where Dutchess may purchase up to that number of common shares having an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000. This agreement is referred to as an Equity Line. Under terms of the investment agreement, we may, at our sole discretion, deliver a put notice to Dutchess stating the dollar amount of common shares, which we intend to sell to Dutchess on a closing date. The maximum amount that Dutchess can be required to purchase at any one time shall be equal to (1) 200% of the average daily volume for the three trading days immediately preceding the formal date of the notice to Dutchess or (2) $150,000, determined at our sole discretion. The share purchase price is 94% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock for the five consecutive trading days beginning with the notice date and the ensuing four trading days. The investment agreement is for a term of three years from the date of execution, or, if earlier, the sale of $5,000,000 or written notice to Dutchess by us. We amended the original investment agreement to require us to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC covering five million common shares, or the registrable securities, that may be issued under the investment agreement within 30 days of the completion of the review of the Form 10 by the SEC. The SEC notified us that the required registration statement with respect to the registrable securities, was declared effective on February 11, 2015. On March 19, 2015, we exercised our right to issue a put notice in the amount of $25,000. The pricing period runs from March 19, 2015 to March 25, 2015 with a floor price of $0.06 per share. The per share purchase price was calculated as $0.0664 in the pricing period. We received $5,713 of these funds and issued 89,800 shares of common stock to Dutchess.

MDC has conversion rights within thirty days of the end of each quarter during the term of the agreement.

In exchange, we issued MDC a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $50,000 and a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock. The note has an annual interest rate of 8% and is convertible at the option of the holder in four equal tranches on November 27, 2015, February 27, 2016, May 27, 2016 and August 27, 2016.

On April 13, 2015, we entered into an unlimited, unsecured revolving line of credit with MedBridge Development Company, LLC with a maturity date of April 15, 2018, which, when funded, shall accrue interest at a rate of 5%t per annum, and which permits all or any portion of the then outstanding principal to be exchanged for shares of our common stock at the election of MDC. For each exchange of $1, MDC will receive the number of shares divided by the exchange price which is equal to the volume-weighted average closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the date of notice by MDC. Any unpaid principal due at the maturity date will automatically be exchanged for shares of our common stock using the maturity date as of the date of notice. For each share of stock issued for conversion of debt owed under the line of credit, we shall issue MDC a warrant to purchase a share of common stock for 100% of the price at which the debt under the revolving line of credit were converted.  Upon default, MDC is entitled to receive interest on the outstanding principal balance and any other advances and charges advanced by MDC at a per annum rate of the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum interest rate allowed by law.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

of VG Life Sciences, Inc. (Formerly Viral Genetics, Inc.)

Santa Barbara, California 93101

 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of VG Life Sciences, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014 and for the cumulative development stage period from July 11, 1995 (inception) to December 31, 2014. Our report on the cumulative statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows from July 11, 1995 to December 31, 2014, in so far as it relates to amounts for periods on or prior to December 31, 2004, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. VG Life Sciences, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of VG Life Sciences, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014, and for the cumulative development stage period from July 11, 1995 (inception) to December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that VG Life Sciences, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, VG Life Sciences, Inc. has suffered recurring losses from operations and its limited capital resources raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VG LIFE SCIENCES INC. (FORMERLY VIRAL GENETICS, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and

For the Period from July 11, 1995 (Inception) to December 31, 2014

 

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

VG Life Sciences Inc. (the “Company” or “VGLS”), formerly Viral Genetics, Inc., was incorporated in California on July 11, 1995 and is in the development stage. The Company is engaged in research and development of therapeutic and diagnostic pharmaceutical and medical products. The Company was acquired by a publically traded Delaware Corporation and became a reporting issuer on October 1, 2001. On November 5, 2001, the publically traded company changed its name to Viral Genetics, Inc. The Company terminated registration with the SEC on March 24, 2009. The Company became a reporting issuer again on August 22, 2014. On November 26, 2012, the Company’s name was changed to VG Life Sciences, Inc. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company has the following subsidiaries:

 

 

Ownership Percentage

 

Origination/
Acquisition Date

 

Subsidiary Name

V-Clip Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  2008  100%
Carcinotek, Inc.  2008  100%
White Label Generics, Inc.  2008  49%
MetaCytolytics, Inc.  2009  100%
VG Energy, Inc. (“VGE”)  2010  81.65%

  

The various subsidiaries were organized or acquired to facilitate the use of the Company’s Targeted Peptide Technology (“TPT”) and Metabolic Disruption Technology, (“MDT”). As of December 31, 2014 all subsidiaries were inactive.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

 

Management believes that the accompanying consolidated financial statements and financial information for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the period from July 11, 1995 (Inception) to December 31, 2014 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, consistently applied; that all material matters necessary for a fair presentation are included and disclosed to the extent necessary and that all material adjustments have been made.

 

Going Concern

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of approximately $106 million and requires substantial additional funds to continue its research and development, to support its operations and to achieve its business development goals, the attainment of which are not assured. The Company has been able to satisfy certain liabilities with convertible indebtedness and common shares and enter into debt settlement arrangements, facilitated by third party financing, with vendors and creditors for substantial amounts of its various financial obligations. Convertible instruments have also been converted into equity. In March 2013, the Company also entered into arrangements with related parties under which it has and will continue to receive certain financial and administrative support and services through March 18, 2015 and has consummated related party and unrelated convertible debenture and warrant agreements from which it has and will receive cash and executive services (from related parties only). However, substantial indebtedness remains and substantial recurring losses from operations and additional liabilities continue to be incurred.

 

F-19
 

 

These factors and uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might incur in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. Management has designed plans for sales of the Company’s future pharmaceutical related products. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings, from debt financing and debt restructuring to provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan. However, management can give no assurance that these funds will be available in adequate amounts, or if available, on terms that would be satisfactory to the Company.

 

The timing and amount of the Company’s capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the need for funds to support research and development, (ii) payment requirements to sustain licensing rights, (iii) demand for new products and services, (iv) the availability of opportunities for international expansion through affiliations, (v) maintaining its status as a public company and supporting shareholder and investor relations, (vi) the need to establish and maintain current and new business relationships, and (vii) for other general corporate business purposes.

 

Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The accompanying financial statements include those of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Development Stage Enterprise

 

The Company is a development stage company and will continue to be considered as such until it has its own significant operations and revenues. The Company does not currently have any revenue and expects to continue to incur substantial additional research, development and operating costs related to the continuation of the development of therapeutic and diagnostic pharmaceutical and medical products.

 

Impaired Asset Policy

 

The Company follows generally accepted accounting policies related to Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This provides for a single accounting model for long -lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. This policy requires that these long -lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations.

 

Reclassifications and Restatements

 

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified with respect to the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not resulted in any material changes to the Company’s accumulated deficit or the net losses presented.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

 

F-20
 

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effects of stock options and warrants. Dilutive loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 because common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including the entity’s own credit risk.

 

A fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs is established. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels and which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

These levels are:

 

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued interest, convertible notes payable and various forms of convertible indebtedness. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value based on their liquidity, their short-term nature or application of appropriate risk based discount rates to determine fair value. These financial assets and liabilities are valued using level 2 inputs, except for cash which is at level 1. The Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risk arising from these financial instruments, except that certain convertible instruments may be satisfied in shares of common stock at the option of the holder and in some instances by the Company, which per share price can fluctuate.

 

Stock- Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation by using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset associated with its accumulated losses to zero, which is the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company has financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk and consist primarily of cash. The Company routinely maintains cash and temporary cash investments at certain financial institutions in amounts substantially in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. Management believes that these financial institutions are of high quality and the risk of loss is minimal.

 

F-21
 

 

Compensated Absences

 

The Company has not accrued a liability in accordance with ASC 710, as the amount of the liability cannot be reasonably estimated at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is possible that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statement and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date when financial statements are issued.

 

NOTE 3 – PATENTS AND LICENSES

 

Patents and Licenses consisted of the following at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

 

Patent Rights Acquisitions  2014   2013 
V-Clip Pharmaceuticals  $803,836   $803,836

   $1,076,836   $

1,076,836

 

 

V- Clip Acquisition

 

V-Clip Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“V-Clip”) was formed by the Company and other founding shareholders (44% owned by the Company and 56% owned by other founding shareholders) as the vehicle to acquire rights to certain patents and patent applications (owned by the University of Colorado) in the fields of diagnosis and treatment of HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis C, and Herpes developed by Karen Newell, PhD, at the University of Colorado. In November 2007, the University of Colorado granted to V-Clip, a subsidiary of the Company, an exclusive worldwide license of the University’s patent rights to make, use, sell, offer to sell, and import any licensed products pertaining to patented technology owned by the University relating to the diagnosis and treatment of HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis C and Herpes. As part of the license, the Company had the right to acquire the 56% of V-Clip not already owned by the Company. Successful completion of preliminary tests indicated a match between the Company’s own work and compounds predicted by Dr. Newell’s work. As a result, the Company exercised its right to acquire the remainder of V- Clip in October 2008. The Company exercised its option to obtain the remaining 56% of V-Clip that it did not already own and merged V-Clip into the Company as a wholly -owned subsidiary. In connection with the transaction, valued by the Company at $803,836, the Company issued 44,472 (26,683,078 pre-split) common shares and 73,091 (43,854,355 pre-split) warrants to purchase common shares at prices between $18.00 ($0.03 pre-split) and $169.20 ($0.282 pre-split) per share.

 

Colorado/Vermont

 

Effective in December 2009, the Company entered into agreements with the University of Vermont and the University of Colorado (together the “Universities”) whereby it agreed to reimburse them for certain prior patent costs they incurred for a Metabolic Disruption portfolio totaling approximately $248,000. On December 3, 2009, the Company issued two 5% Unsecured Convertible Notes to the Universities evidencing these obligations pursuant to the Company’s licensing agreements with these institutions. Royalties and milestone payments are payable by the Company upon completion of certain milestones, including FDA clinical trial approval and commercialization, as well as upon sublicensing of the rights. The Company now holds exclusive direct licenses to the underlying patents, patents rights, patent applications and other rights.

 

F-22
 

 

Carcinotek Acquisition

 

In March 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of Carcinotek in exchange for five million shares of Series A Preferred Shares. Through this transaction, the Company obtained the last remaining rights to use of the TNP technology that were not previously owned by the Company – in this case, those relating to cancer and other applications.

F-23
 

 

Effective on July 13, 2013, the Company and MedBridge Venture Fund, LLC (“MVF”) entered into a Convertible Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. The note may be partially converted at any time based on the discretion of MVF. If the notes or any portion of them are not converted by MVF prior to maturity, then on maturity the outstanding amount of the notes and accrued interest will automatically be converted into common stock at the conversion price. In the event that the Company is in default at maturity, the balance due under the note would be payable in cash. The agreement provides that MVF will provide up to $2,500,000 in cash advances ($1,765,000) and services ($735,000). MVF had provided a cumulative $2,223,750 in cash advances ($1,500,000) and services ($723,750) to December 31, 2014 and a cumulative $1,765,000 in cash advances ($1,490,000) and services ($275,000) to December 31, 2013; and made cumulative debt conversions to December 31, 2014 of $648,750 and to December 31, 2013 of $120,000, into a cumulative 11,033,162 and 2,040,816 common shares, respectively. In addition the Company issued to MVF warrants to purchase 8,895,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.45 per share, exercisable in the period 48 months to 60 months after issuance. The services being provided by MVF include a management team (President and CEO), Chief Operating Officer, Controller, grant application coordinator, finance administrative assistant and public relations resources. To the extent not converted earlier at the option of the holders, shares will be issuable on conversion of these notes in total in four equal tranches (25% each) on the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015, and June 15, 2015 and September 15, 2015.

Under certain circumstance, while the notes are outstanding, the conversion price shall be adjusted to the lower price at which the Company issues shares or other securities convertible into shares or exercisable for shares, except for issuances related to borrowings from banks or similar financial institutions; securities issued to employees, consultants, officers or directors pursuant to any compensation plan approved by the board of directors and limited to 15% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company; or securities in a public offering with an aggregate offering price to the public of at least $50,000,000. In the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined in the agreement, MVF shall be entitled to receive, prior to the close of any such change of control, including shares and warrants pledged/earned and any remaining stock to which MVF would have been entitled under the note or the conversion thereof and to receive and exercise any and all shares under the corresponding warrants to which it would have been entitled.

 

Effective March 18, 2013, the Company entered into a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (“SCA”) with MedBridge Development Company, LLC (“MDC)” pursuant to which MDC shall provide accounting, document support, clerical, reception public relations and other administrative support as mutually agreed, as well as office space for the corporate headquarters of the Company. MDC will provide a maximum line of credit of $550,000, consisting of initial proceeds ($50,000); 24 equal monthly cash advances ($300,000) and a discretionary line of credit ($200,000). Services valued at $20,000 per month, subject to adjustment, are to be provided during the term of the SCA. In 2014 and 2013, MDC advanced $235,000 and $175,000, respectively, and provided $240,000 and $189,032 in services, respectively. At December 31, 2014, $25,000 remains to be received in monthly advances, and an additional $115,000 is available to the Company on the line of credit at the discretion of MDC. In 2014 MDC converted an aggregate of $390,000 in debt and received 2,467,916 common shares. In 2013, MDC converted and aggregate of $266,532 in and received 2,008,087 common shares. Further, in accordance with the terms of the SCA, warrants to acquire an equal number of shares as issued for the foregoing note conversions were issued to MDC, for an aggregate of 4,476,003 common shares at a weighted average exercise price per share of $0.1467. Any common shares received by MDC may not be sold for two years from the date of issuance of such shares (lockup period). Each warrant expires eighteen months after the expiration of the two-year lockup period related to the corresponding share issuance. In the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined in the agreement, MDC shall be entitled to receive, prior to the close of any such change of control any stock which MDC would have been entitled (i) under the full value of the LC (ii) for the full value of the Services that MDC would have provided to the Company during the full term of this agreement absent the change of control and (iii) shall be entitled to receive and exercise any and all warrants to which it would be entitled.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY AND EXPENSE

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risks including the entity’s own credit risk.

 

A fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs is established. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels and which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

These levels are:

 

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

 

The following is a summary of the embedded conversion features associated with the Company’s Level 2 financial instruments:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company uses the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

 

The potential benefit of net operating loss carry forwards has not been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be realized in future years.

 

The Company is subject to United States federal and state income taxes at an approximate rate of 34%. The reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the United States federal statutory rate compared to the Company’s income tax expense as reported for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

 

   2014   2013 
Net loss  $(6,189,504)  $(7,419,722)
Income tax rate   34.0%   34.0%
Income tax benefit   2,104,431    2,522,705 
Permanent difference   (856,215)   (1,716,133)
Valuation allowance   (1,248,166)   (806,572)
Net benefit  $   $ 

  

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The significant components of future income tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

 

   2014   2013 
Change in tax assets loss benefit  $16,111,892   $14,863,726 
Allowance   (16,111,892)   (14,863,726)
Net change  $   $ 

 

The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets for which it more likely than not that the realization will not occur. The valuation allowance is reviewed periodically. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management’s judgment about the realizeability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.

 

The net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes are approximately $47,400,000 and $43,700,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and will begin to expire in 2015. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries have ever been the subject of an examination of the Internal Revenue Service. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, use of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be limited if the Company experiences a cumulative change in ownership greater than 50% in a moving three year period. Ownership changes could impact the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating losses and credit carryforwards remaining at the ownership change date. The limitation would be determined by the fair market value of common stock outstanding prior to the ownership change, multiplied by the applicable federal rate. The Company has never had an examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

NOTE 9 – PREFERRED STOCK

 

Effective November 27, 2012 the Company reduced the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock from 250,000,000 to 10,000,000. At December 31, 2013, 10,000,000 Series A Preferred Stock shares are authorized and 9,715,443 shares have been issued and are outstanding. Effective on July 15, 2014 authorized shares of Series A Preferred shares were increased to 20,000,000 with a par value of $0.0001 per share; 9,715,443 preferred shares are issued and outstanding at December 31, 2014. The Series A Preferred shares are convertible into 161,924 shares of common stock.

 

The Series A Preferred Shares are not redeemable by the Company, and rank on par with Company common stock in the payment of dividends of any kind being declared on common stock. There is no sinking fund provision for the Series A Preferred Shares. The issued Series A Preferred Shares vote as common stock in all matters presented to stockholders for approval, but have special voting rights such that the aggregate of all then issued, outstanding and unconverted Series A Preferred Shares possesses a number of votes equal to all of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company multiplied by 1.01. The effect of the voting rights is that the holders of common stock by definition possess fewer aggregate votes than the aggregate of the then issued, outstanding and unconverted Series A Preferred Shares stockholders. Series A Preferred Shares are exchangeable into shares of common stock at the rate of ten (10) shares of common stock for each share of Series A preferred stock. The Series A Preferred Shares have an aggregate liquidation preference of $1,000,000 such that in the event of the dissolution, winding-down, or other liquidation of the Company the Series A Preferred Shares holders shall receive the first $1,000,000 of net proceeds after payment of debts. Following the payment of this liquidation preference, the holders of common stock would receive the next $1,000,000 of net proceeds. All other remaining net proceeds would then be split ratably between the Series A preferred stockholders and common stockholders on an as-converted basis. The effect of the liquidation preference is to subordinate the claims of the common stockholders on residual net proceeds after such a winding down, liquidation or dissolution, and to reduce by $1,000,000 the overall claims common stockholders hold on residual assets after payment of debts.

 

 

F-30
 

The holders of any majority of the then issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Shares have the authority to require all holders of Series A Preferred Shares to exercise the conversion feature described above. Other than where transferred for estate planning purposes, the Series A Preferred Shares automatically convert to shares of common stock upon any transfer.

 

NOTE 10 – COMMON STOCK

 

Effective November 27, 2012 the Company completed several changes to its capital structure and changed its name from Viral Genetics, Inc. to VG Life Sciences Inc. As a result of the capital structure changes, the numbers of authorized shares of common stock were reduced to 60,000,000 and preferred stock was reduced to 10,000,000. The 1-for -600 reverse stock split resulted in the cancellation of 920,837,717 pre-split shares of common stock which left 1,694,761 post-split shares of common stock outstanding. In the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit, the reverse stock split has been reflected as if it occurred on December 31, 2011, due to the extended equity (deficit) history presented in this consolidated statement. At December 31, 2013, the total number of shares of common stock authorized was 150,000,000 shares with a par value per share of $0.0001.

 

The Company has reserved the following shares for issuance or conversions related to outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities based upon transactions consummated through December 31, 2014:

 

   Shares 
Conversions of debt and preferred stock   88,891,177

Substantially all warrants and option conversion rights were exercisable at December 31, 2014 except for options granted pursuant to the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and those warrants which are exercisable for a one year period commencing four years after the date of purchase of the corresponding notes with which they were associated.

Prior to the adoption of the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, there was no formal stock option plan in place. Stock options were issued by the Company for services as deemed appropriate.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of each option granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following assumptions: risk free interest of 2.17%-3.04% and 3.04%, respectively; volatility of 125%-274% and 274% respectively; expected life of 5 years; and no expected dividends. The value of these options was $688,179 and $1,292,844 in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Option costs are included in Research and Development ($69,204 in 2014 and $95,376 in 2013) and General and Administrative Expense ($618,975 in 2014 and $1,197,468 in 2013) in the periods presented.

 

Adoption of 2013 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On December 30, 2013, the Stockholders approved the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. Persons eligible to receive stock awards are employees, directors and consultants. The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain the services of the group of persons eligible to receive Stock Awards, to secure and retain the services of new members of this group and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and its Affiliates. Stock awards include: (i) Incentive Stock Options (employees only), (ii) Non-statutory Stock Options, (iii) Restricted Stock Awards and (iv) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Board of Directors of the Company is designated as the Plan administrator and, among other things, (i) has the right to determine which persons shall receive stock awards, when and how and in what quantities (ii) reduce the exercise price of any option (iii) cancel and re -grant a new option covering the same or different numbers of shares of Common Stock, but not less than for newly granted stock awards, with certain exceptions. The termination date of the Plan shall be December 20, 2024. The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a committee or committees of one or more members of the Board. The common stock that may be issued pursuant to Stock Awards shall not exceed 12,000,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment for any change in common stock without the receipt of consideration.

 

Unless the grantee under the Plan is a 10% Stockholder, the exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. The exercise price of a Non-statutory Stock Option or Restricted Stock Award shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of common stock on the date the option is granted. However, a Restricted Stock Award may be awarded as a stock bonus, that is, with no cash purchase price to be paid.

 

A 10% Stockholder shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration five years from the date of grant. A

 

10% Stockholder shall not be granted a Non-statutory Stock Option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, nor shall a 10% Stockholder be granted a Restricted Stock Award or Stock Appreciation Right (if such award could be settled in shares of Common Stock), unless the purchase price of the restricted stock is at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

 

The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) at the discretion of the Board at the time of the grant of the Option (or subsequently in the case of a Non-statutory Stock Option) (1) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock, (2) according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Option holder or (3) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.

 

The Plan is currently administered by the Company’s Board which has the authority to delegate administration of the Plan to a committee. The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2014:

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Effective on January 2, 2015 the Board of Directors voted to amend the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the shares reserved that may be issued under the plan to 18 million.

 

Pursuant to the Equity Line Agreement with Dutchess, on March 19, 2015 the Company exercised its right to issue a Put Notice in the amount of $25,000. The pricing period runs from March 19, 2015 to March 25, 2015 with a floor price of $0.06 per share. The per share purchase price was calculated as $0.0664 in the pricing period.

 

Effective on January 12, 2015 the Company and MVF entered into a Convertible Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement pursuant to which MVF agreed to provide services as defined in the agreement in the amount of $862,500 during the period from January 12, 2015 to December 31, 2015. The services being provided by MVF include a management team comprised of a President and CEO, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Controller, corporate project manager, grant application coordinator, finance administrative assistant and public relations resources. The note matures December 31, 2015, and has an interest rate of 8% per annum. Principal and accrued interest are convertible at the option of MVF in four equal tranches on March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015 at a conversion price 10% lower than the lowest three day average closing prices of the Company’s common stock starting on January 12, 2015 and ending on February 11, 2015 ($0.0582). Any amount remaining outstanding upon maturity will automatically be converted into common shares at the conversion price. The Company also issued on January 12, 2015 warrants to purchase four common shares for each $1 of principal at $0.45 per share (3,450,000), exercisable on any date from the four-year anniversary to the five-year anniversary from the date of the agreement. These warrants will have a cashless exercise feature.

Principal and accrued interest are convertible at the option of KED in four equal tranches on June 15, 2015, September 15, 2015, December 15, 2015 and March 15, 2016 at a conversion price 10% lower than the lowest three day average closing prices of the Company’s common stock starting on January 12, 2015 and ending on February 11, 2015 ($0.0582).

The Company also issued on March 15, 2015 warrants to purchase four common shares for each $1 of principal at $0.45 per share (2,400,000), exercisable on any date from the four-year anniversary to the five-year anniversary from the date of the agreement. These warrants will have a cashless exercise feature. The agreement contains a default provision, among others, which states that if KED is delinquent in any payment which is not cured within 10 days of written or electronic notice to KED by the Company, than the Company may cancel the agreement. In that event KED would be entitled to retain that number of warrants associated with payments made prior to the default.

 

On April 13, 2015, the Company entered into an unlimited, unsecured revolving line of credit with MedBridge Development Company, LLC with a maturity date of April 15, 2018, which, when funded, shall accrue interest at a rate of 5% per annum, and which permits all or any portion of the then outstanding principal to be exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of MDC. For each exchange of $1, MDC will receive the number of shares divided by the exchange price which is equal to the volume-weighted average closing price of the Company's common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the date of notice by MDC. Any unpaid principal due at the maturity date will automatically be exchanged for shares of the Company's common stock using the maturity date as of the date of notice. For each share of stock issued for conversion of debt owed under the line of credit, the Company shall issue MDC a warrant to purchase a share of common stock for 100% of the price at which the debt under the revolving line of credit were converted. Upon default, MDC is entitled to receive interest on the outstanding principal balance and any other advances and charges advanced by MDC at a per annum rate of the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum interest rate allowed by law.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014 are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our internal control over financial reporting. Management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is expressed at the level of reasonable assurance that the control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for our Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 based on criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The conversion price for the options Mr. Keledjian received in 2012 was $0.0171 per share and the value of the award is $51,000.

Narrative to Director Compensation Table

 

We do not have a formal director compensation plan. In 2013, we granted each of our employee and non-employee directors an option to purchase shares of our common stock. These options vest immediately and the exercise price is $0.2249, the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2013. The expiration date of the options is ten years from the date of grant and the options have a cashless exercise feature. We issued identical grants to the directors on March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014.

 

We have not historically paid cash compensation to our directors for services and we have no intention, at this time, to provide cash compensation to directors in the future.

 

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

 

The following tables set forth information related to the beneficial ownership, as of the close of business on December 31, 2014 of our Series A Preferred Stock and common stock by: (i) all persons we know who beneficially hold more than 5% of our securities, (ii) all of our directors, (iii) all of our executive officers and (iv) our directors and executive officer as a group. The information on beneficial ownership in the table and footnotes thereto is based upon data furnished to us by, or on behalf of, the persons listed in the table.

 

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power as indicated with respect to all securities that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

 

In computing the number of securities beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding the shares underlying stock options, warrants and convertible notes held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after December 31, 2014. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

_______________

(1) On December 31, 2014, we had 9,715,443 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Series A stockholders have not changed since we completed a 1 for 600 reverse stock split on November 26, 2012. Prior to the Reverse Stock Split, one Series A share was convertible to 10 common shares. The Reverse Stock Split did not adjust the number of Series A preferred shares outstanding, however, the reverse did adjust the number of common shares that one share of Series A preferred stock is convertible into. Prior to the Reverse Stock Split, one share of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted into ten shares of common stock. The effect of the reverse split is that one share of Series A Preferred Stock may now be converted into 0.0167 shares of common stock, such that the 9,715,443 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding may be converted into 161,924 shares of common stock.

 

(2) Mr. Keledjian is Chairman of our Board of Directors and serves as our Vice President of Research and Development. He is also our former Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Keledjian beneficially owns 5,573,725 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. His ownership consists of (a) 349,928 shares held in the name of Mr. Keledjian; (b) an aggregate of 4,989,621 shares which have been irrevocably transferred to trusts for Mr. Keledjian’s family and children; (c) 177,154 shares held by Best Investment Trust, formerly Best Investments, LLC.; and (d) 57,022 shares held by Bretton Securities UDT 7/20/95, where Mr. Keledjian is Trustee for the trust and therefore has control but not ownership. Mr. Keledjian is the trustee of these trusts, and has sole voting and dispositive control over the shares.

On December 15, 2014, MVF also converted 2,614,796 shares for $153,750 services rendered to us, however these shares were issued directly to MDC (see footnote 4).
   
  MVF is co-managed by Wild Harp Holdings, LLC, which is 100% owned by our CEO and director, John Tynan, and DW Odell Company, LLC, which is 100% owned by our CFO and director, David Odell. My Tynan and Mr. Odell have voting and dispositive control over the shares held by MVF.

 

(4) Pursuant to two agreements entered into with MedBridge Development Company, or MDC, MDC is the beneficial owner of 9,163,104 shares of common stock.

 

  On March 18, 2013, MDC agreed to provide a maximum line of credit of $550,000 consisting of cash advances. MDC also agreed to provide services to us at a fee of $20,000 per month. As of December 31, 2014, MDC has advanced $410,000 in cash advances and MDC has provided $429,032 in services. MDC may convert the cash advanced to us ($410,000) and the value of services earned (429,032) into shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2014, MDC converted $287,500 in cash advances and $369,032 services owed into 4,476,002 shares of common stock. In January 2015 we anticipate MDC to convert $122,500 in cash advances and $180,000 in sevices owed into 1,629,828 shares. In accordance with the agreement, the number of shares that MDC may acquire for services has been calculated based on the quarterly average share price less 10% which has ranged from $0.0756 to $0.2302 in the period through December 31, 2014.
   
  On August 27, 2014, MDC agreed to provide us $50,000. As of October 15, 2014, MDC has advanced $50,000 through this agreement. MDC may convert the cash advance to us into shares of common stock. As of October 15, 2014, MDC had converted $0 of cash advances into common stock. The number of shares MDC may acquire for cash advanced to us has been calculated based on a contractual stock price of $0.113 or 442,478 shares.
   
  Per footnote 3 above, on December 15, 2014, MVF converted $153,750 worth of services rendered. This resulted in 2,614,796 shares being issued directly to MDC as a member of MVF.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

 

MedBridge Development Company and MedBridge Venture Fund, LLC

 

MedBridge Development Company, LLC

 

On March 18, 2013, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with MedBridge Development Company, LLC, or MDC, for a two-year strategic collaboration. At the time of the transaction, the Chief Executive Officer of MDC, David Odell, was a current stockholder of our Company but was not employed by us in a director or officer capacity. John Tynan, the other managing member of MDC, had also purchased certain of our securities in the past, but did not own 5% or more of the company’s stock at the time we entered into the MOU

 

Under this arrangement, MDC has agreed to provide us with financial support up to $550,000 cash, administrative support valued at $20,000 per month and other services to enable us to continue our research and development activities and provide for our operating expenses. Excluding the first $50,000 of cash, all other payments and fees shall accrue under a convertible note we issued to MDC on March 18, 2013. In 2014 and 2013, MDC advanced $235,000 and $175,000, respectively, and provided $240,000 and $189,032 in services, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, we have accrued $60,000 in management fees related to Q4 2014. In 2014, MDC converted an aggregate of $390,000 in debt and received 2,467,916 common shares. In 2013, MDC converted and aggregate of $266,532 in and received 2,008,087 common shares. Further, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, warrants to acquire an equal number of shares as issued for the foregoing note conversions were issued to MDC, for an aggregate of 4,476,003 common shares at a weighted average exercise price per share of $0.1467.

 

The arrangement provides an option to convert the amount owed under the convertible note into shares of our common stock. Any amounts advanced by MDC are convertible at the 20 day average of our stock price prior to the conversion date, and any costs thereafter shall be paid in shares of our common stock valued at the average stock price per quarter, discounted by 10%. Such share payments will be made on a quarterly basis. For each share issued, MDC shall also receive warrants to purchase one additional share exercisable at the undiscounted average stock price for the corresponding quarter. Each warrant expires 18 months after the two-year lock up period. We also agreed to a two-year lock-up provision from March 18, 2013, and MDC is unable to sell the shares it holds in our Company until that restriction has lifted. Each warrant’s 18 month term starts from the date the restriction is lifted.

 

Under the terms of the arrangement, John Tynan and David Odell were appointed to our Board of Directors, sharing one vote between the two directors, and also agreed to provide certain services to us. Mr. Tynan was appointed our Chief Executive Officer in July 2013, and Mr. Odell was appointed our Chief Financial Officer in December 2013. As of December 31, 2014, Messrs. Tynan and Odell collectively own 85.32% of MDC. Mr. Odell continues to serve as Chief Executive Officer of MDC, in addition to his service as our Chief Financial Officer. In lieu of cash compensation for the management services of Mr. Tynan or Mr. Odell, Messrs. Tynan and Odell have directed us to award the respective value of their services in equity-based compensation to their designee, MedBridge Venture Fund.

 

On August 27, 2014, we entered into a convertible promissory note and warrant purchase agreement with MDC, pursuant to which MDC provided us $50,000 in cash. In exchange, we issued MDC a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $50,000 and a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock. The note has an annual interest rate of 8% and is convertible at the option of the holder in four equal tranches on November 27, 2015, February 27, 2016, May 27, 2016 and August 27, 2016. The conversion price is $0.113 per share. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.85 per share and shall be exercisable from August 27, 2018 until August 27, 2019. The warrant has a cashless exercise feature.

 

On April 13, 2015, we entered into an unlimited, unsecured revolving line of credit with MedBridge Development Company, LLC with a maturity date of April 15, 2018, which, when funded, shall accrue interest at a rate of 5%t per annum, and which permits all or any portion of the then outstanding principal to be exchanged for shares of our common stock at the election of MDC. For each exchange of $1, MDC will receive the number of shares divided by the exchange price which is equal to the volume-weighted average closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the date of notice by MDC. Any unpaid principal due at the maturity date will automatically be exchanged for shares of our common stock using the maturity date as of the date of notice. For each share of stock issued for conversion of debt owed under the line of credit, we shall issue MDC a warrant to purchase a share of common stock for 100% of the price at which the debt under the revolving line of credit were converted. Upon default, MDC is entitled to receive interest on the outstanding principal balance and any other advances and charges advanced by MDC at a per annum rate of the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum interest rate allowed by law.

MDC is owned 42.66% by the Tynan Family Trust, of which our Chief Executive Officer and director, John Tynan is the trustee; 42.66% by our Chief Financial Officer and director, David Odell; 7.5% by EDK, LLC, which is managed by Edward Koke; 7.31% by West Beach Investments, LLC, which is managed by Steven Schott; and 2.5% by Ruth Loomer, an individual.

The amount accrued under the note is convertible at an exercise price equal to 10% lower than the lowest three-day average closing price starting on July 16, 2013 and ending on September 15, 2013 of $0.0588. As of December 31, 2014, we have received $1,500,000 in cash proceeds and received $723,750 in services in exchange for which we issued convertible notes and warrants to MVF to purchase 8,895,000 common shares.

The services to be provided by MVF include a management team with a President and CEO, Chief Operating Officer, Controller, grant application coordinator, finance administrative assistant and public relations resources. Through December 31, 2014, MVF converted $648,750 in principal at a defined conversion price of $0.0588 per share and received 11,033,163 shares of our common stock. The parties also agreed to a staggered lock up provision, with free-trading shares available in four equal parts, 25% each, on the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015, June 15, 2015, and September 15, 2015. At December 31, 2014, $276,250 in cash proceeds are available to be funded under this arrangement.

Haig Keledjian

 

Best Investments, Inc. and Best Investment Trust

 

On March 5, 2008, we entered into a debt restructuring agreement with Best Investments, Inc. Best Investments is a corporation controlled and owned by Haig Keledjian. Mr. Keledjian is our founder and has served in various roles since 2001. Mr. Keledjian is our Chairman, Vice President of Research and Development and Secretary. He served as our Chief Executive Officer from 2001 until July 2013 and was our Chief Executive Officer at the time of the transaction.

 

As of the date of the agreement, we owed certain debts to entities controlled by Mr. Keledjian for cash and services provided by Mr. Keledjian since our inception in 1995. The nature of Mr. Keledjian’s services include strategic planning, research and development management, legal management, fundraising, regulatory management, and day-to-day operational oversight. Best Investments was created by Mr. Keledjian to restructure and consolidate those debts owed by us. The amount Best Investments agreed to lend us under the revolving line of credit was not limited and was secured by substantially all of our assets. Further, the obligations owed by us under the revolving line of credit were guaranteed by our subsidiary, VG Energy, Inc.

 

83
 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the parties agreed to restructure the indebtedness owed by us to Best Investments in addition to accrued interest and for us to issue Best Investments a convertible note. The original indebtedness matured on March 29, 2008 and the revolving line of credit matured on June 30, 2013 with an interest rate of 5% per annum, payable at the maturity date.

 

Under the terms of the debt restructuring agreement, Best Investments agreed to allow us to prepay our obligations due under the line of credit at any time and that portions of the debt may be exchanged for shares of our common stock and warrants. The conversion price is equal to the volume-weighted closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days preceding the notice of conversion by Best Investments. For each share of stock issued for conversion of our debt owed under the line of credit, we agreed to issue Best Investments a warrant to purchase a share of common stock for 150% of the price at which the debt under the revolving line of credit were converted. Such warrants will expire five years from the date of issuance.

 

On October 1, 2013, we entered into an unsecured note with Best Investment Trust, in the amount of $993,023 ($577,328 at December 31, 2013) with interest at 5% per annum, due December 31, 2018. This note was issued as a replacement and amendment of the secured revolving line of credit dated March 5, 2008 and subsequently assigned to Best Investment Trust. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no interest payments, all interest was accrued. The principal balance and accrued interest were exchanged for units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of voting common stock. In the year ended December 31, 2014, an aggregate of $577,328 in principal and $21,258 in accrued interest was converted into 3,447,261 common shares and warrants to purchase an equal number of shares at a weighted average of $0.25 per share. Best Investment Trust is controlled by Haig Keledjian, our Chairman of the Board, Vice President of Research and Development and Secretary. Mr. Keledjian can be deemed to have full economic interest in the revolving line of credit. All transactions by Best Investments relating to our line of credit and the convertible note are reflected in our accompanying financial statements.

 

Mr. Keledjian’s balance on December 31, 2014 of $75,765 consisted of accrued salary.
