EASTGATE BIOTECH CORP.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015

 

NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Eastgate Biotech Corp without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at March 31, 2016, and for all periods presented herein have been made.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2015 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has accumulated deficit of $12,351,229 as of March 31, 2016. The Company currently has limited liquidity, and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management's efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.


NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eastgate Biotech Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Eastgate Pharmaceuticals Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

Table of Contents

 

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses research and development costs to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses are comprised of costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including employee-related expenses; laboratory supplies and other direct expenses; third-party contractual costs relating to nonclinical studies and related contract manufacturing expenses, development of manufacturing processes and regulatory registration.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign denominated assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period. Income statement accounts are translated at a weighted average of exchange rates which were in effect during the period. Translation adjustments that arise from translating the foreign subsidiary's financial statements from local currency to U.S. currency are recorded in the other comprehensive loss component of stockholders' equity.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, which eliminated certain financial reporting requirements of companies previously identified as "Development Stage Entities" (Topic 915). The amendments in this ASU simplify accounting guidance by removing all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities. The amendments also reduce data maintenance and, for those entities subject to audit, audit costs by eliminating the requirement for development stage entities to present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity. Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity's financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915. The Company has adopted this standard and will not report inception to date financial information.

 

The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and their adoption has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or statements.

 

NOTE 4 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Notes payable – related parties

The Company has recorded loans from shareholders, amounts due to shareholders for expenses paid on its behalf by shareholders as Notes payable - related parties on the balance sheet. The amounts comprising Notes payable – related parties bear interest ranging from 5 percent per annum to 10 percent per annum, are unsecured and are due and payable upon demand.


During the three months ended March 31, 2016 the CEO and companies owned by the CEO as well as a company owned by a related party shareholder have advanced cash to the Company of $94,077, and have had expenses paid by the Company of $611 on their behalf. At March 31, 2016 the Company has not repaid any of related party loans. During the year ended December 31, 2015 the CEO and the current President advanced the company cash of $310,825 and were repaid $5,536 of advances made. In addition during this period they paid $2,337 of expenses on behalf of the company and were reimbursed for $5,432 in expenses they previously paid. This accounts for the increase in notes payable related party for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $302,194. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company owed $324,686 and $292,798 of accrued interest to related parties, respectively, resulting from interest expense of $31,888 and $109,954, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 - SALES TAX RECOVERABLE

 

Sales tax receivable

The Company recovers sales tax paid, for which returns are filed on annual basis. At March 31, 2016, $93,028 was claimed as recoverable compared to the December 31, 2015 balance of $79,681. Sales tax recoverable is a result of sales tax paid on eligible expenses.

Results of Operations

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 company recorded revenue of $1,088. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, our net loss was $697,712 compared to a net loss of $1,792,650 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decreased loss for 2016 of $1,094,938 was due to the fact the company was less active in the quarter ended March 31, 2016 due to lack of funding. The primary reasons for the decrease were decrease operating expenses including a decrease in professional fees of $47,784, a decrease in R&D expenses of $259,698, a decrease in marketing and selling of 162,654 and a decrease of general and administrative expense of 636,403.

 

Sales

 

We have recorded $1,085 in revenues in the first quarter ended March 31, 2016. The company has received sales orders and will record additional revenue in the second quarter of this year.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Professional fees

 

During the first quarter ended March 31, 2016, professional fees expenses were $2,636, a decrease of $47,784 from the first quarter of 2015 professional fees expense of $50,420.

Research and development

 

Research and development costs consist of fees paid to consultants for laboratory evaluation of product chemistry and formulation as well as tests and studies to assess the efficacy and potential safety of our products. Also included in research and development are laboratory consumables.

 

During the first quarter ended March 31, 2016, research and development expenses of $136,422 decreased by $259,698 from $396,120 for the first quarter of 2015.

 

General and administrative

 

During the first quarter of 2016, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $417,872 a decrease of $636,403 from $1,054,275 for the first quarter of 2015. The 2015 figure included non cash item from issuance of shares to management.

 

Marketing and selling

 

During the first quarter ended March 31, 2016, marketing and selling expenses of $106,531 decreased by $162,654 from $269,185 for the first quarter of 2015. The decrease is a result of luck of funding. The company continuing negotiations in various parts of the world for the sale of distribution licenses for the company’s pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense of $35,336 for the third quarter ended March 31, 2016 an increase of $12,686 from $22,650 for the first quarter of 2015. The increase is attributed to an increase in loans from stockholders during the period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2016 we had a working capital deficit of $2,563,931 which is a decrease of $51,166 from the December 31, 2015 deficit balance of $2,615,097. The decrease in the deficit is primarily a result of the loss for the quarter of $697,712 netted by the $137,956 of this loss having been paid by issuing common stock for services.

 

Expenses incurred during 2016 have been paid for by related parties including our current CEO and current President as well as through issuing the company’s common stock. Because we have no cash reserves or generate sufficient revenue, we expect to continue to rely on the stockholders and equity raises to pay expenses until such time as we can generate sufficient cash flows to pay our ongoing operational costs. There is no assurance that the company will be able to obtain equity raises before the company develops revenue sources with sufficient cash flow to cover expenses.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 the stockholders contributed a net amount of $93,466, made up of $97,077 advanced in cash less $611 of expenses paid by the company on behalf of the related party. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had cash on hand of $10,815 and $19,241, respectively. At March 31, 2016 we had accrued liabilities - related party of $1,172,936, compared to $732,125 at December 31, 2015. The increase represents the accrual of wages to company executive officers during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2016 we had notes payable - related party of $1,402,051, compared to $1,308,585 at December 31, 2015. The increase represents additional contributions from stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Accrued interest – related party at March 31, 2016 was $324,687 compared to $292,769 at December 31, 2015, which reflects the added interest of $31,918 on the related party payable. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $1,105 from $361,094 at December 31, 2015, to $362,199 at March 31, 2016, primarily a result of the fact the company is in a fund raising situation.

 

In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on our operations until such time as we raise funds or successfully complete an acquisition or merger. At that time, management will evaluate the possible effects of inflation related to our business and operations.

At March 31, 2016, we had a stockholders' deficit of $2,440,926 compared to a stockholders' deficit of $2,481,081 at December 31, 2016. The decrease in stockholders' deficit is primarily attributed to operating loss and issuance of common stock for service in the first quarter of 2016.

 

As of February 24, 2017, we had cash on hand of $3,372. We believe that our available cash combined with continued advances from related parties will be sufficient to carry on general corporate functions for the next nine months, although we will need to limit cash outlays for research and product development until we can secure additional funds. We are presently investigating possible funding opportunities to arrange for additional funds, although we do not have any definitive agreement or arrangement for such funds. We expect that additional funding to proceed with development of the intellectual property acquired in 2015 will most likely be from the sale of securities or from stockholder loans. We may not be successful in our efforts to obtain equity financing to carry out our business plan and there is doubt regarding our ability to complete our planned development program. We estimate that cash requirements for the next twelve months will be approximately $5,000,000. In the past year, we have relied on advances from related parties for financing our operations. We continue to explore potential funding opportunities, which may be in the form of debt or the sale of equity securities. In the event we are unsuccessful in arranging for outside funding, we will most likely continue to rely on related parties to provide funding, although there are no firm commitments or agreements with any related party to provide funds in the future.

 

Net Operating Loss

 

We have accumulated a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $11,653,520 as of December 31, 2015. This loss carry forward may be offset against future taxable income through the year 2033. The use of these losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards. In the event of certain changes in control, there will be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that can be used. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 or the three month period ended March 31, 2016 because it has been fully offset by a valuation reserve. The use of future tax benefit is undeterminable because we presently have no operations.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, which eliminated certain financial reporting requirements of companies previously identified as "Development Stage Entities" (Topic 915). The amendments in this ASU simplify accounting guidance by removing all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities. The amendments also reduce data maintenance and, for those entities subject to audit, audit costs by eliminating the requirement for development stage entities to present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity. Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity's financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915. The Company has adopted this standard and will not report inception to date financial information.

 

The company has evaluated other recent accounting pronouncements and their adoption has not had nor is expected to have a material impact on the company's financial position or statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Plan of Operation

 

Following the closing of a patent acquisition agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") in 2012, we have become engaged in the development and ultimate formulation of other novel formulations of natural compounds and pharmaceutical products that have limitations in effective use for human consumption. We believe our self-emulsifying drug delivery technology can improve the efficacy of existing products and formulations based on natural or well-established compounds and known biologically active compounds. We intend to conduct our research and development through collaborative programs. We anticipate relying on arrangements with third party drug developers such as contract research organizations and clinical research sites for a significant portion of our product development efforts.

 

The Acquisition Agreement enabled us to acquire certain products, formulas, processes, proprietary technology and/or patents and patent applications related to pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food supplements and consumer health products. We have not formulated any final products or receive approvals from any regulatory agencies or generated any revenues from product sales. We have not been profitable since our inception through the current date.

 

We expect to incur significant operating losses for the next several years and until we are able to formulate a commercially viable product. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we:

 

 

· Continue to undertake formulation of novel products and subsequent preclinical and clinical trials for our product candidates;

 

 

 

 

· Seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates;

 

 

 

 

· Develop, formulate, manufacture and commercialize our products;

 

 

 

 

· Implement additional internal systems and develop new infrastructure;

 

 

 

 

· Acquire or in-license additional products or technologies, or expand the use of our technology;

 

 

 

 

· Maintain, defend and expand the scope of our intellectual property; and

 

 

 

 

· Hire qualified personnel.

 

Future product revenue will depend on our ability to develops, receive regulatory approvals for, and successfully market, our product candidates. In the event that our development efforts result in regulatory approval and successful commercialization of our product candidates, we will generate revenue from direct sales of our products and/or, if we license our products to future collaborators, from the receipt of license fees and royalties from licensed products.

 

Management estimates that our research and development expenses for the next 12 months will be approximately $3.0 million, primarily for research and pilot studies. We also estimate that other expenses, including personnel, general and administrative and miscellaneous expenses could be as much as $2.0 million during the same time period. Because we currently have no revenues, most likely the only source of funding these expenses will be through the private sale of our securities, either equity or debt. We are currently exploring possible funding sources, but we have not entered into any arrangements or agreements for funding as of this time. If we are unable to raise the necessary funding, our research and development plans will be delayed indefinitely. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the funds necessary to carry out our business plan on terms favorable to the company, or at all.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

This item is not required for a smaller reporting company.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure and control procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, management is required to apply its reasonable judgment. Based on the evaluation described above, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a lack of adequate segregation of duties and the absence of an audit committee.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management has evaluated whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Based on its evaluation, management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded that there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
