PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS   SUBJECT TO COMPLETION   DATED FEBRUARY 12, 2025

 

           Shares

Common Stock

 

 

Ludwig Enterprises, Inc.

 

 

 

This prospectus relates to a firm commitment public offering (the “Offering”) by Ludwig Enterprises, a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”), of          shares of its Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at an assumed public Offering price of $        per share of Common Stock, the last reported bid price of our Common Stock on the OTC Pink Marketplace (the “OTC Pink”) on       , 2025.

 

On        , 2025, our stockholders approved a proposal authorizing our board of directors (the “Board”) to effect a reverse split of our outstanding Common Stock at a specific ratio within a range from one-for-        to one-for-        , and also granted authorization to our Board to determine, in its sole discretion, the specific ratio within that range and timing of such reverse stock split. We intend for the Board to effect such reverse stock split in connection with this Offering as soon as possible, with the record date being        , 2025. The reverse stock split remains subject to approval by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The figures in this prospectus do not give effect to the aforementioned reverse split.

 

Currently the holders of our Convertible Preferred Stock may convert their shares into a total of 700,000,000 shares of Common Stock  (without giving effect to the reverse stock split). We intend to amend and restate our articles of incorporation redesignating the rights and preferences of our Convertible Preferred Stock, including the conditions of conversion and the conversion ratio, subject to the consent of our shareholders. Upon the effectiveness of this Offering and subject to the filing and effectiveness of our amended and restated articles of incorporation all outstanding shares of our Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert into         shares of Common Stock (without giving effect to the reverse stock split) and a total of $ representing the total of interest accrued and original issuance discounts of our outstanding convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) will, by their terms, be converted into a total of        shares of Common Stock (the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes are referred to as the “Conversion Shares”). We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from this Offering to pay certain remaining outstanding balances on our Convertible Notes after the aforementioned conversion. See “Use of Proceeds” and “Plan of Distribution”.

 

There is currently a limited public trading market for our Common Stock. Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “LUDG.” In connection with this Offering, we intend to apply to have our Common Stock listed on the         under the symbol “         .” No assurance can be given that our listing application will be approved or, if we receive approval, that a trading market will develop, if developed, that it will be sustained, or that the trading prices of our Common Stock on the OTC will be indicative of the prices of our Common Stock if our Common Stock were traded on the         . If our listing application is not approved by       , we will not consummate the Offering and will terminate this Offering. The public offering price per share will be determined at the time of pricing and may be at a discount to the current market price. The recent market price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. This prospectus complies with the requirements that apply to an issuer that is an emerging growth company. See “Prospectus Summary — Emerging Growth Company.”

 

We are a smaller reporting company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, are eligible for reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings. See “Prospectus Summary - Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company”.

 

 

 

 

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

As this is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making an investment decision. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the information under the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and the related notes thereto included in this prospectus, before investing. We intend to effect a reverse stock split of our Common Stock within a range from one-for-[] to one-for-[] in order to qualify to uplist our Common Stock on []in connection with this Offering; however, we cannot currently state the ratio within that range at which such reverse stock split will occur, nor can we guarantee that [] will approve our listing application for our Common Stock. If such reverse stock split is not effected or if our listing application is not approved by [], we will not be able to consummate the Offering and will terminate this Offering. This prospectus includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Unless the context otherwise requires, we use the terms “Ludwig,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this prospectus to refer to Ludwig Enterprises, Inc.

 

The Company

 

Overview. We are an innovative genomics technology and health related Company that is developing mRNA genetic testing kits that use “inflammatory genetic biomarkers” to assess the presence of chronic inflammatory related diseases and monitor treatment responses.

 

Inflammatory genetic markers are biological molecules that indicate the presence (or absence) of chronic or acute inflammatory disease activity. These inflammatory molecules, called cytokines and chemokines, mediate the biological responses of tissues within the body to, pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, also to damaged and mutated cells as well as toxic irritants. These inflammatory molecules are transcribed -from messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules and act as signals that initiate downstream inflammatory reactions by the body as a whole. Messenger RNA molecules transfer information from DNA to the cell machinery that synthesizes intended proteins. Examples of such inflammatory molecules include, but are not limited to, nuclear factorE2, superoxide dismutase, TNF-α, NF-κB, IFN-γ, and IL-6.

 

Leveraging our proprietary mRNA genetic testing kits, we can collect buccal cheek swabs from an individual and isolate the individual’s mRNA from these swabs. Next, we use a Thermo Fisher Scientific Quant Studio Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction system to measure levels of specific mRNAs providing the genetic information for synthesis of inflammatory molecules within the individual. Numerous scientifically published studies, such as Chronic inflammation in the Etiology of Disease Across The Life Span in the peer reviewed journal Nature Medicine support our medical technology premise that could be used to detect genetic biomarkers for chronic inflammatory driven diseases and/or to monitor treatment responses for conditions such as heart disease, preeclampsia, and cancer. Once we measure involved chronic inflammatory genetic biomarkers from a patient, our genetic tools will have the potential to not only achieve early detection of diseases, but also to evaluate and support customized treatments that may improve patient outcomes. (See “Business”).

 

Our Products. We intend to launch and market our proprietary mRNA genetic testing kits into the U.S. marketplace by the end of the first quarter 2025. To date, we have not sold any products.

 

Test Kits. The RevealiaTM test kit is a home testing kit containing a flocked swab designed to collect cheek (buccal) cells, and a collection tube containing a proprietary medium that stabilizes and preserves human nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. Once the buccal cheek swab sample is collected and stored in the collection tube, the testing kit is sent to a third-party laboratory for analysis. On August 30, 2024, the Company filed provisional patent application 63/689422, mRNAs DIFFERENTIALLY EXPRESSED IN CANCER that describes proprietary technology to properly store swab samples and isolated mRNA molecules for future analysis. The patent is pending review and approval with the USPTO.

 

Recent Developments

 

On August 13, 2024, the majority shareholders of the Company, acting by majority written consent in lieu of a meeting, approved a change of the Company’s corporate name to “Revealia, Inc.” Once FINRA processes the aforementioned name change we will take the necessary steps to effectuate the change. The timing of FINRA’s processing cannot be estimated by the Company.

 

On September 16, 2024, we entered into an Intellectual Property Conveyance Agreement, to be effective as of August 26, 2024 (the “IP Agreement”), with Marvin S. Hausman, M.D., the Company’s Chief Science Officer and Director, and Nova Mentis Life Science Corp. (“Nova”). The basis for the IP Agreement is that certain mRNA Neuro Panel and Serotonin Assay, lodged by Nova on or about April 26, 2024, as U.S. Patent Application 18/705375, International Publication Number WO 2023/077245, captioned as “Diagnosing, Monitoring and Treating Neurological Disease with Psychoactive Tryptamine Derivatives and mRNA Measurements” (the “Patent”), the invention of which was done by Mr. Hausman in collaboration with Nova.

 

The stated purpose of the IP Agreement was to resolve all obligations owed to Hausman by Nova, including but not limited to $245,712.00 in unpaid consulting consideration (the “Consulting Consideration”), by and through conveyance of all right, title and interest Nova may have held in the Patent and associated intellectual property associated therewith to the Company (the “Conveyance”) for further commercialization (the “Commercialization”).

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

 

We are a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company after this offering if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to:

 

  being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related disclosure in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this prospectus;

 

  being permitted to provide less extensive narrative disclosure than other public companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements;

 

  being permitted to utilize exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved;

 

  being permitted to defer complying with certain changes in accounting standards; and

 

  being permitted to use test-the-waters communications with qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors.

 

We intend to take advantage of these and other exemptions available to “emerging growth companies.” We could remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of this offering, (ii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion, (iii) the last day of our fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (which would occur if the market value of our equity securities that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter), or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

 

The JOBS Act permits an “emerging growth company” like us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. This means that an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to delay such adoption of new or revised accounting standards.

 

Selected Risks Associated with Our Business

 

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the information in this prospectus prior to investing in our Common Stock. These risks are discussed more fully in the section entitled “Risk Factors” immediately following this prospectus summary. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  we are an early-stage genomics technology and health related company without any products or services currently available for sale and we may not be able to successfully develop or bring products or services to market;

 

  the report of our independent auditors on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, indicate uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern and this may impair our ability to raise capital to fund our business;

 

  we have incurred significant losses in prior periods, and losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our Common Stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows;

 

  we have limited experience in dealing with third-party manufacturers or commercializing proposed product candidates and may encounter difficulties, delays or other unanticipated hurdles before the manufacturing of our product candidates begin in the quantities needed to achieve our business plans;

 

  We are dependent upon our officers and directors for future success;

 

  Successful completion of our capital campaign
     

2

 

 

  we use RNA-based molecular biology in our products and services pipeline and the successful commercialization of these products will depend on public perceptions of RNA-based products;

 

  if the FDA were to begin actively regulating our tests, we could incur substantial costs and delays associated with trying to obtain premarket clearance or approval and incur costs associated with complying with post-market controls;

 

We may not be successful in commercializing our product candidates;

 

  we are in competition with companies that are larger, more established and better capitalized than are we;

 

  the materials used in the processes by which our RNA-based products and our derivative products are manufactured, such as mRNA genetic microarrays, may become difficult to obtain in the quality or quantity required for our business plans or at the prices that are currently projected;

 

  if we are unable to obtain and maintain protection of our intellectual property, which are costly to maintain, the value of our products may be adversely affected; and

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our shares of Common Stock involves significant risks. Before making an investment in our shares of Common Stock, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties discussed below under “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and the specific risks set forth herein. Any of the following risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to pay dividends. In any such case, the market price of our shares of Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to the Company

 

We are an early-stage genomics technology and health related Company without any products or services currently available for sale and we may not be able to successfully develop or bring products or services to market.

 

We have several product and service candidates, including our proprietary mRNA genetic program that we intend to begin marketing efforts by the first quarter of 2025; however, there is no assurance that we will succeed in bringing any of our product and service candidates to market or that such product candidates, or any of our other operations, will generate any revenue. If we cannot develop a marketable product or generate sufficient revenues, we may be required to suspend or cease operations.

 

Our business operations have only a limited history upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made. The Company’s operations are subject to all business risks associated with development stage enterprises. The likelihood of the Company’s success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment and expansion of a business, operation in a competitive industry and the necessary continued development of advertising and other marketing strategies. We believe it is likely that we will continue to sustain losses throughout the next twelve months. We cannot assure you that we will ever operate profitably.

 

Additionally, we have a limited operating history, and as a result our historical financial and other operating data may be of limited value in estimating future operating revenue, revenue sources and expenses. Our budgeted expense levels are based in part on our expectations concerning future revenue and future revenue sources. The amount and sources of these revenues will depend on the success of our ability to establish the commercial viability of our new products, to sustain our marketing efforts, the perception of our products by customers and users, and other factors that are difficult to forecast accurately.

 

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a 15(f) (the “Exchange Act”), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel, 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 and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or directors of the Company; and

 

  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

 

Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to face regulatory action and also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

However, our auditors will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until we are no longer an EGC if we take advantage of the exemptions available to us through the JOBS Act.

 

Our principal shareholders have significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interests of our other shareholders

 

After this offering, our principal shareholders will hold in aggregate approximately [●]% of our shares, assuming that the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the cover page of this prospectus are issued and sold in this Offering. We are not considered a “controlled company” under [●] corporate governance rules as we do not currently expect that more than 50% of our voting power will be held by an individual, a group or another company, these shareholders, however, if they act together, will be able to control the management and affairs of our company and most matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. The interests of these shareholders may not be the same as or may even conflict with your interests. For example, these shareholders could attempt to delay or prevent a change in control of us, even if such change in control would benefit our other shareholders, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares of Common Stock as part of a sale of us or our assets, and might affect the prevailing market price of our Common Stock due to investors’ perceptions that conflicts of interest may exist or arise. As a result, this concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of our other shareholders.

 

The report of our independent auditors on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and, in the management’s representation on our financial statements for opinion of management, the nine months ended September 30, 2024, indicates uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern and this may impair our ability to raise capital to fund our business.

 

The report of our independent auditors indicates uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern and this may impair our ability to raise capital to fund our business. In its opinion on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024, our independent auditors raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that this will not impair our ability to raise capital on attractive terms. Additionally, we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve significant revenues and therefore remain a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of our contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for us to continue operations. These conditions and the ability to successfully resolve these factors over the next twelve months raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have incurred significant losses in prior periods, and losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our Common Stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows.

 

To date, we have not generated revenues from our operations, and we have incurred significant losses in prior periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred a net loss of $2,861,013 (unaudited) and $2,006,742 (unaudited), respectively, and, as of September 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $7,103,495 (unaudited). For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred a net loss of $965,150 and $137,467, respectively, and, as of such dates, we had an accumulated deficit of $4,242,482 and $1,785,932, respectively.

 

The time required for us to become profitable is highly uncertain, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve or sustain profitability or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our planned capital expenditures, working capital and debt service requirements. If required, our ability to obtain additional financing from other sources also depends on many factors beyond our control, including the state of the capital markets and the prospects for our business. The necessary additional financing may not be available to us or may be available only on terms that would result in further dilution to the current owners of our Common Stock. We expect we will require significant capital in connection with our efforts, and we will be required to continue to make significant investments to further develop and expand our business. In particular, we expect to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on further research studies, marketing and advertising as part of our strategy to develop and increase our business our business-to-consumer (“B2C”) channels, as well as on research and development activities regarding our proprietary mRNA genetic methodologies. The sales, marketing and advertising expenses that we will incur will typically be expensed immediately. In addition, to the extent that our business ramps up as we expect, we will need to increase our headcount significantly in the coming years.

 

We intend to seek interim short-term financing to assure full legal compliance with our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, and to bring on the necessary personnel to begin our future development activities. Our working capital needs will be met largely from the sale of debt and public equity securities, including in this Offering, until such time that funds provided by operations, if ever, are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

We will require additional capital to fund our operations and if we do not obtain additional capital, we may be required to scale back, delay or cease our operations.

 

Our business does not presently generate the cash needed to finance our current and anticipated operations and we will need to obtain additional financing to finance our operations, until such time that we are able to conduct profitable revenue generating activities.

 

Through the date of this prospectus, we have obtained approximately $1,950,000 in loans to meet our ongoing expenses, including professional fees and day-to-day operating expenses.  We cannot assure you that adequate financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Our failure to raise additional financing, including through this Offering, in a timely manner would adversely affect our ability to pursue our business plan and could cause us to delay launching our league and our proposed business plan.

 

We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.

 

To develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and time-consuming research, preclinical studies and clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that the proceeds from this offering will increase our existing cash and cash equivalents enough to enable us to maintain our current operations for at least the next 12 months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our product candidates. We will, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than we anticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:

 

the time and expense for preclinical studies and clinical trials for our product candidates;
   
 the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;

 

costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;

 

successful commercialization of our product candidates;

 

development of marketing and sales capabilities;

 

payments received under current and future collaborative agreements, if any; and

 

market acceptance of our products.

 

To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. In addition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners 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.

 

We will require substantial additional funds to support our research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studies and clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If we do not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to commence or complete clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from the FDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractive business opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our shareholders.

 

We may not be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficient capital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of our remaining assets.

The proceeds from this Offering will not be sufficient to conduct our proposed clinical trials to completion.

 

The proceeds from this offering will not be sufficient to conduct our proposed clinical trials to completion and we will need to raise additional funds to complete them. In the event we are unable to raise additional funds this will have an adverse effect on our business and our ability to bring products to market.

 

The Company has product candidates with very complex and different sales and marketing channels, the development of which will put significant burdens on us and which we may not be able to develop as effectively as competitors.

 

We will have very different sales and marketing channels if the products in our pipeline are to reach customers in their respective markets – either Business to Consumer (“B2C”) or Business to Business (“B2B”) channels – requiring us to develop distinct sales, marketing, and distribution methods. In particular, the B2C channels have different customers and distribution channels as B2B channels. Building, managing and maintaining such a sales and marketing infrastructure may require us to hire experts in the field, implement complex systems, establish collaborations with third parties effectively across various geographies and understand disparate regulatory regimes. Our ability to effectively engage in these steps is untested, making it impossible for us to accurately predict the level of success we will achieve.

 

We have yet to establish sales, marketing or distribution capabilities, and if we are unable to establish these capabilities, we may not be successful in commercializing our product candidates if they are approved.

 

We have not yet established a sales, marketing or product distribution infrastructure for our product and service candidates, which are still in various stages of development. To achieve commercial success for any product for which we obtain marketing approval, we will need to establish a sales and marketing organization within the United States and, potentially, also develop a strategy for sales outside of the United States. We intend to outsource the manufacturing and distribution, and failure to obtain contracts with such third parties on terms acceptable to us, or at all, may significantly delay our product and service candidates market rollout. In addition, as we begin to commercialize our products, we will need to hire, develop, train personnel with expertise in marketing and selling products in each of those markets.

 

Launching a marketing campaign for our products will be costly without any assurance the products will be purchased, used and accepted. As a start up with limited capital, there may not be enough time or capital to see this product through to market acceptance.

 

Our revenue and results of operations may vary on a quarterly and annual basis.

 

Our revenue and results of operations could vary significantly from period-to-period and may fail to match expectations as a result of a variety of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including general market conditions and macroeconomic factors. We have not yet generated revenues and we cannot accurately estimate future revenue and operating expenses based on historical performance. Our quarterly operating results may vary significantly based on many factors, including:

 

  Fluctuating demand for our potential products;

 

  Announcements or implementation by our competitors of new products;

 

  Amount and timing of our costs related to our marketing efforts or other initiatives;

 

  Timing and amounts relating to the expansion of our operations;

 

  Our ability to enter into, renegotiate or renew key agreements;

 

  Timing and amounts relating to the expansion of our operations; or

 

  Economic conditions specific to our industry, as well as general economic conditions.

 

As a result of the potential variations in our revenue and results of operations, period-to-period comparisons may not be meaningful and the results of any one period should not be relied on as an indication of future performance. We may also be unable to, or may elect not to, adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected revenue shortfall. In addition, our results of operations may not meet the expectations of investors or public market analysts who follow the Company, which may adversely impact our stock price. We expect to make significant operating and capital expenditures in connection with the development of our plan of business. If these increased capital expenditures are not accompanied by increased revenue in the same quarter, our quarterly revenue and results of operations would be adversely affected.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business will be harmed.

 

Currently, our three executive officers perform all required corporate functions, including product development activities. As we continue preparing for our service and product candidates to enter the market, we will, as availability of capital permits, begin to hire personnel necessary to support our operations. The skills we seek are typically in high demand and we may have difficulty identifying, hiring, integrating, motivating and retaining additional employees, consultants, and contract personnel. Also, our management may need to divert a disproportionate amount of our attention away from our day-to-day activities and devote a substantial amount of time to simultaneously manage rightsizing and growth activities. We may not be able to effectively manage changes in the size of our operations, which may result in weaknesses in our infrastructure, give rise to operational mistakes, loss of business opportunities, loss of employees and reduced productivity among remaining employees.

 

Should we secure adequate capital, whether through this Offering or otherwise, we intend to hire a Marketing and Sales Officer to implement plans for product distribution and channel placement. Regional distributors will be engaged to place product into their current customers retail and physician offices.

 

Any future growth could require significant capital expenditures and may divert financial resources from other projects, such as the development of product candidates. If our management is unable to effectively manage our rightsizing efforts while scaling the Company, our expenses may increase more than expected, our ability to generate and/or grow revenues could be reduced, and we may not be able to implement our business strategy. Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize our product candidates and compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage the size of our organization. We cannot assure you that we will be able to accomplish these tasks or effectively manage our growth.

 

We are dependent upon our executive officers for future success.

 

Our future success to a significant extent depends on the continued services of our executive officers, Jose Antonio Reyes, Scott J. Silverman and Marvin S. Hausman, M.D. The departure of one or more of these people could materially adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy. Currently, we do not maintain, for our benefit, any key man life insurance on any of our executive officers; we have, however, entered into employment and/or consulting agreements with Jose Antonio Reyes, Scott J. Silverman and Marvin S. Hausman, M.D. (See “Management”). 

 

If we are unable to recruit and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed.

 

If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. Our failure to enable the effective transfer of knowledge and facilitate smooth transitions with regard to our 3 key employees could adversely affect our long-term strategic planning and execution.

 

Our financial success is dependent to a significant degree upon the efforts of our executive officers. Our future success and viability will depend to a significant extent upon its ability to attract and retain qualified personnel in all areas of its business, especially its sales, science, and financial management teams. If we were to be unable to retain these key members of our respective teams, we would need to replace them with qualified individuals in a timely manner or our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

 

Significant disruptions of information technology systems or security breaches could adversely affect our operations.

 

We are increasingly dependent upon information technology systems, infrastructure and data to operate our business ourselves and on vendors who operate aspects of our technology infrastructure for us. In the ordinary course of business, through the use of our product and service candidates, we will collect, store and transmit large amounts of confidential information (including, among other things, trade secrets or other intellectual property, proprietary business information and personal patient information). It is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information.

 

Attacks on information technology systems are increasing in their frequency, levels of persistence, sophistication and intensity, and they are being conducted by increasingly sophisticated and organized groups that include state actors, criminal organizations and individuals who can bring significant resources and expertise to bear.

 

10

 

 

Our information technology systems, and those of third-party vendors with whom we contract are also vulnerable to service interruptions, security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, third-party vendors, and/or business partners, or from cyber-attacks by malicious third parties. Cyber-attacks could include the deployment of harmful malware, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering and other means to affect service reliability, and could threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. For example, interruption of our information technology systems or technology infrastructure may cause delays in producing results for patients that utilize our products and/or services.

 

Significant disruptions of our information technology systems, or those of our third-party vendors, or security breaches could adversely affect our business operations and/or result in the loss, adulteration, misappropriation and/or unauthorized access, use or disclosure of, or the prevention of access to, confidential information, including, among other things, trade secrets or other intellectual property, proprietary business information and personal information, and could result in financial, legal, business, and reputational harm to us.

 

Any such breach or interruption could compromise our networks, and the information stored there could be inaccessible or could be accessed by unauthorized parties, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such interruption in access, improper access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, such as the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), and regulatory penalties. Unauthorized access, loss or dissemination could also disrupt our operations, including our ability to perform tests, provide test results, bill facilities or patients, process claims and appeals, provide customer assistance services, conduct research and development activities, collect, process and prepare Company financial information, provide information about our current and future solutions and other patient and clinician education and outreach efforts through our website, and manage the administrative aspects of our business and damage our reputation, any of which could adversely affect our business. Any such breach could also result in the compromise of our trade secrets and other proprietary information, which could adversely affect our competitive position.

 

Any failure or perceived failure by us or any third-party collaborators, service providers, contractors or consultants to comply with our privacy, confidentiality, data security or similar obligations to third parties, or any data security incidents or other security breaches that result in the unauthorized access, release or transfer of sensitive information, including personally identifiable information, may result in governmental investigations, enforcement actions, regulatory fines, litigation or public statements against us, could cause third parties to lose trust in us or could result in claims by third parties asserting that we have breached our privacy, confidentiality, data security, or similar obligations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, or results of operations. Moreover, data security incidents and other security breaches can be difficult to detect, and any delay in identifying them may lead to increased harm. While we have implemented data security measures intended to protect our information technology systems and infrastructure, there can be no assurance that such measures will successfully prevent service interruptions or data security incidents.

 

We process, store and use certain personal information, which subjects us to privacy laws and standards, governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with these privacy laws and standards, regulations, and obligations could subject us to fines, sanctions or litigation, and could potentially damage our brand and reputation and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We depend on information technology networks and systems to process, transmit and store electronic information and to communicate among our locations around the United States and with customers. We collect, use and disclose personal information, such as names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. We collect, store and use sensitive or confidential transaction and account information of consumers. As a result, we are or may be subject to a variety of state, national and international laws and regulations that apply to the collection, use, retention, protection, disclosure, transfer and other processing of personal data, potentially including the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). These laws and regulations are evolving, with new or modified laws and regulations proposed and implemented frequently and existing laws and regulations subject to new or different interpretations. For example, the GDPR introduced new data protection requirements in the EU and imposes substantial fines for breaches of the data protection rules. Compared to the previous EU data protection laws, the GDPR notably has a greater extra territorial reach and has a significant impact on data controllers and data processors, which either have an establishment in the EU, or offer goods or services to EU data subjects or monitor EU data subjects’ behavior within the EU. The GDPR regime imposes more stringent operational requirements on both data controllers and data processors, and introduces significant penalties for non-compliance with fines of up to 4% of total annual worldwide turnover or €20.0 million (whichever is higher), depending on the type and severity of the breach.

 

In addition, the CCPA expands the rights of California residents to access and require deletion of their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used. The CCPA imposes a number of privacy and security obligations on companies who collect, use, disclose, or otherwise process personal information of California residents, which may result in civil penalties for violations and private rights of action in case of data breaches. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, which could result in statutory penalties of up to $2,500 per violation, or up to $7,500 per violation if the violation is intentional. Other states have adopted, or are considering enacting, similar laws. Any failure or alleged failure to comply with privacy or data protection laws could lead to government enforcement actions and significant penalties against us, and could materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Compliance with any of the foregoing laws and regulations can be costly, can delay or impede the development of new products, and may require us to change the way we operate.

 

11

 

 

Additionally, the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), which took effect on January 1, 2023 and significantly expands the CCPA, imposes additional data protection obligations on companies doing business in California, including additional consumer rights processes and opt outs for certain uses of sensitive data and sharing of personal data as well as an expanded definition of “sale” to include sharing of personal information, and data minimization and data retention requirements. The CPRA also establishes a new enforcement agency, the California Privacy Protection Agency, which may take a more active role in enforcement. Other states have and are likely to continue to implement their own privacy statutes in the near term. The effects of the CCPA, CPRA and other similar state regulations are potentially significant and may require us to modify our data collection or processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply and increase our potential exposure to regulatory enforcement and/or litigation. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We may also be subject to or affected by evolving federal, state and foreign data protection laws and regulations, such as laws and regulations that address privacy and data security. In the United States, federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous data privacy and security laws, including data breach notification laws, personal data privacy laws, and consumer protection laws (e.g. Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act). For example, HIPAA as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, imposes specific requirements relating to the privacy, security, and transmission of individually identifiable health information. We may obtain health information or other personal information from third parties, including research institutions from which we obtain clinical trial data, that are subject to privacy and security requirements under HIPAA. While we do not believe that we are currently acting as a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA and thus are not directly regulated under HIPAA, any person may be prosecuted under HIPAA’s criminal provisions if it knowingly receives individually identifiable health information from a HIPAA-covered healthcare provider or research institution that has not satisfied HIPAA requirements for disclosure of individually identifiable health information under aiding-and-abetting or conspiracy principles.

 

The interpretation and application of many privacy and data protection laws are uncertain. Anticipated further evolution of regulations on this topic may substantially increase the penalties to which we could be subject to in the event of any non-compliance. These laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data management practices or the features of our products. If so, in addition to the possibility of negative publicity, fines, lawsuits and other claims and penalties, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our products, which could harm our business.

 

We seek to comply with privacy related industry standards and are subject to the terms of our own privacy policies and privacy related obligations to third parties. We strive to comply with all applicable laws, policies, legal obligations and industry codes of conduct relating to privacy and data security protection to the extent possible. However, these obligations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or regulations, making enforcement, and thus compliance requirements, ambiguous, uncertain, and potentially inconsistent. Additionally, laws, regulations, and standards covering marketing and advertising activities conducted by telephone, email, mobile devices, and the internet may be applicable to our business, such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (as implemented by the Telemarketing Sales Rule), the CAN SPAM Act of 2003, and similar state consumer protection laws. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with our privacy policies, privacy related obligations to agents, clients or other third parties, or our privacy related legal obligations, any marketing or advertising related laws, regulations, or standards, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized access to or unintended release of personal information or other agent or client data, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation, or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others. Any of these events could cause us to incur significant costs in investigating and defending such claims and, if found liable, pay significant damages. Further, these proceedings and any subsequent adverse outcomes may cause our agents and clients to lose trust in us, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.

 

We are also subject to laws and regulations that involve electronic contracts and other communications; consumer protection; and online payment services. These laws and regulations are constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. For example, many states have ordinances in place allowing individuals with certain criminal backgrounds to become tenants. State ordinances vary from state to state, and the types of criminal backgrounds that will clear a background check are not uniform on a national scale. As a result, the application, interpretation, and enforcement of these laws and regulations are often uncertain and may be interpreted and applied inconsistently. Additionally, as we depend on third parties for key services, we rely on such third-party service providers’ compliance with laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, consumer protection, and other matters relating to our customers.

 

Any significant change to applicable laws, regulations or industry practices regarding the use or disclosure of personal information, or regarding the manner in which the express or implied consent of agents and their clients for the use and disclosure of personal information is obtained, could require us to modify our platform and its features, possibly in a material manner and subject us to increased compliance costs, which may limit our ability to innovate, improve and expand our platform and its features that make use of the personal information that our agents and their clients voluntarily share. Our customers operate independent of our platform as well and are responsible for their own data privacy compliance in certain respects. Additionally, we provide training and our platform provides tools and security controls to assist our agents with their data privacy compliance to the extent they store relevant data on our platform. However, if a customer or tenant on our platform were to be subject to a claim for breach of data privacy laws, we could possibly be found liable for their claims due to our relationship, which can require us to take more costly data security and compliance measures or to develop more complex systems.

Our business plan is not based on independent market studies.

 

We have not commissioned any independent market studies concerning our plans of operations. Rather, our plans for implementing our business strategy and achieving profitability are based on the experience, judgment and assumptions of our management. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect, we may not be successful in our business operations.

 

Our Board of Directors may change our policies without stockholder approval.

 

Our policies, including any policies with respect to investments, leverage, financing, growth, debt and capitalization, will be determined by our Board of Directors or officers to whom our Board of Directors delegate such authority. Our Board of Directors will also establish the amount of any dividends or other distributions that we may pay to our stockholders. Our Board of Directors or officers to which such decisions are delegated will have the ability to amend or revise these and our other policies at any time without stockholder vote. Accordingly, our stockholders will not be entitled to approve changes in our policies, which policy changes may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

There are limitations of director liability and indemnification of directors, officers and employees.

 

Pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, we have the power to indemnify any person made a party to any lawsuit by reason of being a director or officer of the Company, or serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.

 

These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under the federal or state securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our corporate bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding. We believe that these bylaw provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. The limitation of liability in our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company and intend to take advantage of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, which could make the Common Stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. we will remain an EGC until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which it has total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of Common Stock pursuant to the registration statement; (iii) the date on which it has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period; or (iv) the date it qualifies as a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of the Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter after it has been a reporting Company in the United States for at least 12 months. For so long as we remain an EGC, we are permitted to and intend to rely upon exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. These exemptions include not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

 

We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have taken advantage of reduced reporting requirements in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different from the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock. In addition, Section 107 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) provides that an EGC may take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards. As a result of our accounting standards election, we will not be subject to the same implementation timing for new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not EGC’s which may make comparison of our financials to those of other public companies more difficult.

 

We are also a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). As an SRC, the Company intends to utilize certain reduced disclosure requirements, including publishing two years of audited financial statements instead of three years, as required for companies that do not qualify as an SRC. The Company will remain an SRC until the last day of the fiscal year in which it had (i) a public float that exceeded $250 million or (ii) annual revenues of more than $100 million and a public float that exceeded $700 million. To the extent the Company takes advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may make comparison of its financial statements to those of other public companies difficult or impossible.

 

13

 

 

After the Company ceases to be an SRC, it is expected to incur additional management time and cost to comply with the more stringent reporting requirements applicable to companies that are accelerated filers or large accelerated filers, including complying with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of SOX.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We use RNA-based molecular biology in our products and services pipeline and the successful commercialization of these products will depend on public perceptions of RNA-based products.

 

The successful commercialization of our product candidates depends, in part, on public acceptance of modern biotechnology techniques and the use of RNA genetic biomarkers to identify differentially expressed genes (“DEGs”) involved in the inflammatory process associated with the development of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer. Negative public perceptions about RNA and molecular regulation of gene expression can also affect the regulatory environment in the jurisdictions in which we are targeting the sale of our products and the commercialization of our product candidates. Any increase in such negative perceptions or any restrictive government regulations in response to RNA-based products could have a negative effect on our business and may delay or impair the sale of our products or the development or commercialization of our product candidates. Public pressure may lead to increased regulation and legislation for products produced using genetic biotechnology and this could adversely affect our ability to sell our product or commercialize our product candidates.

 

One May 6, 2024, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) issued a final rule updating the regulations for Laboratory Developed Tests (“LDTs”). As a result of the regulations we could incur substantial costs and delays associated with trying to obtain premarket clearance or approval and incur costs associated with complying with post-market controls.

 

We intend to launch and market each of our proprietary testing products as a Laboratory Developed Tests (“LDTs”)Direct to Consumer (DTC) test, which is a subset of an In vitro diagnostics (“IVD”) as defined by the FDA. IVDs that are marketed directly to consumers without the involvement of a healthcare provider are called direct-to-consumer tests. These tests generally request the consumer collect a specimen, such as saliva or urine, and send it to the company for testing and analysis. On October 3, 2023, the FDA issued a proposed rule aimed at helping to ensure the safety and effectiveness of these IVDs. On May 6, 2024, the FDA issued the final rule. The final rule amends the FDA’s regulations to make explicit that IVDs are devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act including when the manufacturer of the IVD is a laboratory. Along with this amendment, the FDA finalized a policy under which the FDA will provide greater oversight of IVDs offered as LDTs through a phaseout of its general enforcement discretion approach for LDTs over the course of four years. The phaseout includes targeted enforcement discretion policies for certain categories of IVDs manufactured by laboratories. Some direct-to-consumer tests are reviewed by the FDA while others are not. In general, direct-to-consumer tests for non-medical, general wellness, or low risk medical purposes are not reviewed by the FDA before they are offered. Direct-to-consumer tests for moderate to high-risk medical purposes, which may have a higher impact on medical care, are generally reviewed by the FDA to determine the validity of test claims.

 

The phaseout policy contains the following five stages:

 

Stage 1: beginning on May 6, 2025, which is 1 year after the publication date of the final LDT rule, FDA will expect compliance with medical device reporting (MDR) requirements, correction and removal reporting requirements, and quality system (QS) requirements regarding complaint files.

 

Stage 2: beginning on May 6, 2026, which is 2 years after the publication date of the final LDT rule, FDA will expect compliance with requirements not covered during other stages of the phaseout policy, including registration and listing requirements, labeling requirements, and investigational use requirements.

 

Stage 3: beginning on May 6, 2027, which is 3 years after the publication date of the final LDT rule, FDA will expect compliance with QS requirements (other than requirements regarding complaint files which are already addressed in stage 1).

 

Stage 4: beginning on November 6, 2027, which is 3½ years after the publication date of the final LDT rule, FDA will expect compliance with premarket review requirements for high-risk IVDs offered as LDTs (IVDs that may be classified into class III or that are subject to licensure under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act), unless a premarket submission has been received by the beginning of this stage in which case FDA intends to continue to exercise enforcement discretion for the pendency of its review.

 

Stage 5: beginning on May 6, 2028, which is 4 years after the publication date of the final LDT rule, FDA will expect compliance with premarket review requirements for moderate-risk and low-risk IVDs offered as LDTs (that require premarket submissions), unless a premarket submission has been received by the beginning of this stage in which case FDA intends to continue to exercise enforcement discretion for the pendency of its review.

 

The FDA also intends to exercise enforcement discretion and generally not enforce some or all applicable requirements for certain categories of IVDs manufactured by a laboratory. Some IVDs may fall into more than one enforcement discretion policy. The FDA notes that an IVD is not excluded from an enforcement discretion policy in the preamble to the final rule simply because it falls within another enforcement discretion policy in such preamble, and so either policy may apply. As noted in the preamble to the final rule, the targeted enforcement discretion policies included in the preamble do not apply to any IVD identified in section V.A.2 as falling outside the scope of the phaseout policy (e.g., donor screening tests for infectious diseases and certain blood typing tests, Direct-to-Consumer tests) or as discussed in section V.B of the preamble.

 

Whether a test can accurately and reliably measure what it claims to measure (analytical validity);

 

14

 

 

Whether the measurement is predictive of a certain state of health (clinical validity); and

 

What a company says about their test and how well it works (claims).

 

The FDA also looks at whether the test offers accurate descriptive information that can be easily understood by a consumer without the involvement of a healthcare provider. This is done by reviewing the language used to instruct users on collecting the sample and interpreting the test result report.

 

We believe that our Revealia Test Kit is a laboratory-developed test (“LDT”). We believe each of our proprietary testing products that we will offer are LDTs. The FDA generally considers an LDT to be a test that is developed, validated and performed within a single laboratory. The FDA sometimes determines that a test that is being offered by a laboratory as an LDT is not an LDT under the FDA’s interpretation of that term but is a form of in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) medical device in commercial distribution, and therefore must comply with the regulations that apply to IVDs, including the need for successfully completing the FDA review process. Under the current rules, Companies that offer DTC LDTs may offer their first test without having to submit a premarket application to the FDA, however the LDT will be required to receive clearance in accordance with the phaseout plans outlined in the final rule issued on May 6, 2024. We will face additional costs as the phase in process progresses and we may be subject to premarket review as early as November 6, 2027. Companies may then offer most additional DTC tests without FDA premarket review, provided they meet specific requirements that are described in the regulation for this type of test and are not for specific higher risk uses. If the FDA were to conclude that our proprietary testing product is not an LDT, we would be subject to extensive regulation as a medical device.

 

Moreover, even for tests that are deemed to be LDTs, the FDA has historically taken the position that it has the authority to regulate such tests as IVDs under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDC Act, although it has generally exercised enforcement discretion with regard to LDTs. This means that even though the FDA believes it can impose regulatory requirements on LDTs, such as requirements to obtain premarket approval, de novo authorization or clearance of LDTs, it has generally chosen not to enforce those requirements. The regulatory environment for LDTs has changed over time. For example, in 2020, the Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, directed the FDA to stop regulating LDTs, but in 2021, HHS reversed its policy. Thereafter, the FDA resumed requiring submission of emergency use authorization, or EUA, requests, for COVID-19 LDTs, but has not indicated an intent to change its policy of enforcement discretion with respect to other, non-COVID, LDTs. Various bills have been introduced in Congress seeking to substantially revamp the regulation of both LDTs and IVDs. For example, the VALID Act, introduced in June 2021, would clarify and enhance the FDA’s authority to regulate LDTs, while the VITAL Act, introduced in May 2021, would assign oversight of LDTs exclusively to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS.

 

Neither the VALID Act nor the VITAL Act has been enacted into law as of the date of this prospectus. Although the VALID Act was favorably voted upon in June 2022 by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee as part of the FDA Safety and Landmark Advancements bill, it was not included in the version of that legislation that was enacted by Congress and signed into law. Congress may, through the enactment of other legislation during the current session of Congress or the subsequent Congress, enact VALID or establish new regulatory requirements for LDTs through other legislation.

 

If the FDA premarket clearance, approval or authorization is required by FDA for any of our future proprietary testing products, or for any components or materials we use in our tests, such as the component used to collect samples from patients, we may be forced to stop selling our tests or we may be required to modify claims for or make other changes to our tests while we work to obtain FDA clearance, approval or de novo authorization. Our business would be adversely affected while such review is ongoing and if we are ultimately unable to obtain premarket clearance, approval or de novo authorization. For example, the regulatory premarket clearance, approval or de novo authorization process may involve, among other things, successfully completing analytical, pre-clinical and/or clinical studies beyond the studies we have already performed or plans to perform for our LDT. These studies may be extensive and costly and may take a substantial period of time to complete. Any such studies may fail to generate data that meets the FDA’s requirements. The studies may also not be conducted in a manner that meets the FDA’s requirements, and therefore could not be used in support of the marketing application. We would also need to submit a premarket notification, or 510(k), a request for de novo authorization, or a PMA application to the FDA and to include information (e.g., clinical and other data) supporting our LDT. Completing such studies requires the expenditure of time, attention and financial and other resources, and may not yield the desired results, which may delay, limit or prevent regulatory clearances, approvals or de novo authorizations. There can be no assurance that the submission of such an application will result in a timely response by the FDA or a favorable outcome that will allow the test to be marketed.

 

Certain types of standalone diagnostics software are subject to FDA regulation as a medical device (specifically, software as a medical device or “SaMD”). Some types of SaMD are subject to premarket authorization requirements. If the FDA were to conclude that the proprietary mRNA technology we have developed to predict presence of inflammatory-driven diseases and monitor patient treatment responses through artificial intelligence is required to obtain premarket authorization for the software used to analyze the mRNA genetic score, our ability to offer the test as an LDT could be delayed or prevented, which would adversely affect our business.

 

In addition, we may require cooperation in our filings for FDA clearance, approval or de novo authorization from third-party manufacturers of the components of our tests.

 

15

 

 

We cannot assure investors that any of our tests for which we decide to pursue or are required to obtain premarket clearance, approval or de novo authorization by the FDA will be cleared, approved or authorized on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, if a test has been cleared, approved or authorized, certain kinds of changes that we may make, e.g., to improve the test, or because of issues with suppliers of the components of the test or modification by a supplier to a component upon which our test approval relies, may result in the need for the test to obtain new clearance, approval or authorization from the FDA before we can implement them, which could increase the time and expense involved in implementing such changes commercially. Ongoing compliance with FDA regulations, such as the Quality System Regulation, labeling requirements, Medical Device Reports, and recall reporting, would increase the cost of conducting our business and subject us to heightened regulation by the FDA. We will be subject to periodic inspection by the FDA to ascertain whether our facility does comply with applicable requirements. The penalties for failure to comply with these and other requirements may include Warning Letters, product seizure, injunctions, civil penalties, criminal penalties, mandatory customer notification, and recalls, any of which may adversely impact our business and results of operations.

 

Furthermore, the FDA or the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), as well as state consumer protection agencies and competitors, may object to the materials and methods we use to promote the use of our current tests or other LDTs we may develop in the future, including with respect to the product claims in our promotional materials, and may initiate enforcement actions against us. Enforcement actions by these agencies may include, among others, injunctions, civil penalties, and equitable monetary relief.

We are in competition with companies that are larger, more established and better capitalized than we are.

 

The medical testing products industry is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to constant change. The number of competitors in our industry is substantial. We expect that if our products establish a market niche, competition will arise from a variety of sources, including from large healthcare companies to other smaller national and regional healthcare companies.

 

Many of our potential competitors possess:

 

  greater financial, technical, personnel, promotional and marketing resources;

 

  longer operating histories;

 

  greater name recognition; and

 

  larger consumer bases.

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively in our extremely competitive industry.

 

Our mRNA product candidates are based on innovative technologies and any product candidates we develop may be more complex and more difficult to manufacture than initially anticipated. We may encounter difficulties with manufacturing processes, manufacturing at higher volumes, product releases, product shelf life and storage, supply chain management, or shipping for any of our products. If we or any of our third-party vendors encounter such difficulties, our ability to supply commercial products or material for clinical studies could be delayed or stopped.

 

We have developed medical artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology that uses RNA-based inflammatory genetic biomarkers to assist in disease diagnosis, monitoring and assessment of pre- and post-treatment patient responses. The manufacturing processes for our product candidates using our mRNA genomic technology are innovative and complex. To the best of our knowledge, there are no mRNA alternatives currently manufactured at commercial scale for our program. Due to the nature of this technology and our limited experience at commercial scale production, we could encounter difficulties with manufacturing processes, manufacturing at higher volumes, product releases, product shelf life and storage, supply chain management, or shipping.

 

16

 

 

Due to the nature of our products and manufacturing platform, there may also be a high degree of technological change that can negatively impact product comparability during and after clinical development. Furthermore, technology changes may drive the need for changes in, modification to, or the sourcing of new manufacturing infrastructure or may adversely affect third-party relationships.

 

The process to generate mRNA product candidates is complex and, if not developed and manufactured under well-controlled conditions, can adversely impact pharmacological activity and may result in one or more of our product candidates’ failures. To date, we have not completed the development of our product candidates and there is no assurance that, once developed, that any of our products will be accepted by our targeted customers. If we do not successfully develop and commercialize our products based upon this technological approach, we may not become profitable, and our results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

The materials used in our diagnostic tests processes and those used to manufacture RNA-based products and our derivative products, such as mRNA genetic microarrays, may become difficult to obtain in the quality or quantity required for our business plans or at the prices that are currently projected.

 

Many of our processes and products rely on materials purchased from third parties and should these materials increase in prices, have supply constraints, or become unavailable, it could impact our ability to develop products or bring them to market either on time, at competitive prices or at all. For example, some of our protein diagnostic tests that we use to identify inflammatory related diseases, such as our “ELISA” (as defined below) and Apoptotic Index™ technology, may use compounds that are sourced from suppliers in China. Further, mRNA panels used in our diagnostic tests are produced by a third-party. Should these particular components that are sourced and/or produced by third parties become unavailable, it could impair the effectiveness, yield or availability of some of our available laboratory tests.

 

We rely on highly specialized equipment and consumables for the production of RNA and our derivative products, such as mRNA, and any disruption to the supply chain or any malfunction of that equipment may adversely impact our operations.

 

The equipment and consumables used to produce RNA and our derivative mRNA products are currently supply constrained across all suppliers, which may cause delays in development, testing or marketing of our human health products and may require us to ultimately increase prices should our products become available to consumers.

 

Additionally, we will be dependent on a number of equipment providers and third-party contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) who are also implementing innovative technology. For instance, we will use medical AI technology that uses mRNA-based genetic biomarkers to measure the presence of chronic inflammatory driven diseases and monitor patient treatment responses. This AI technology is run on a third-party equipment, which is located in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) and College of American Pathologists (“CAP”) (as defined above) certified laboratory. If such equipment malfunctions or if we encounter unexpected performance issues, we could encounter delays or interruptions to clinical and commercial supply.

 

Delay or unavailability of products, services, or equipment provided by suppliers could require us to change the design of our research, development, and manufacturing processes based on the functions, limitations, features, and specifications of the replacement items or seek out a new supplier to provide these items. Additionally, as we grow, our existing suppliers may not be able to meet our increasing demand, and additional suppliers may need to be found. We may not be able to secure suppliers who provide lab supplies at, or equipment and services to, the specification, quantity, and quality levels that we demand (or at all) or be able to negotiate acceptable fees and terms of services with such suppliers.

 

17

 

 

If we are unable to develop and later market our products under development in a timely manner or at all, or if competitors develop or introduce similar products that achieve commercialization before our products enter the market, the demand for our products may decrease or the products could become obsolete.

 

Our products will compete in extremely competitive markets, where competitors may already be well established. We expect that competitors will continue to innovate and to develop and introduce similar products that could be competitive in both price and performance. Competitors may succeed in developing or introducing similar products earlier than, obtaining regulatory approvals and clearances for such products before our products are approved and cleared, or developing more effective products. In addition, competitors may have products, which may achieve commercialization before our products enter the market.

 

Our marketing strategies for our products may not be successful.

 

We will be required to attract customers to our products, all of which will be new upon their introduction. Should our marketing strategies fail to establish sales of our products, our operations will be adversely affected.

 

Additionally, the use of home testing kits to assess chronic inflammatory related disease conditions may not be perceived as needed in the market, especially the testing kit not paid for by insurance. Relying on customers to pay out of pocket for this tool is potentially a very large impediment to product use and acceptance. We do not currently plan to seek insurance coverage for use of the home testing kits.

 

Our business may be affected by litigation and government investigations.

 

We may from time to time receive inquiries and subpoenas and other types of information requests from government authorities and others and we may become subject to claims and other actions related to our business activities. While the ultimate outcome of investigations, inquiries, information requests and legal proceedings is difficult to predict, defense of litigation claims can be expensive, time-consuming, and distracting, and adverse resolutions or settlements of those matters may result in, among other things, modification of our business practices, costs and significant payments, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products and brand.

 

We have invested, and will continue to invest, resources to protect our brands and intellectual property rights. However, we may be unable or unwilling to strictly enforce our intellectual property rights, including our patents and trademarks, from infringement. Our failure to enforce our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our brands and product offerings and harm our business and future growth prospects.

 

If we are unable to obtain and maintain patent protection for our technology and products, or if any licensors are unable to obtain and maintain patent protection for the technology or products that we may license from them in the future, or if the scope of the patent protection obtained is not sufficiently broad, our competitors could develop and commercialize technology and products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our technology and products may be adversely affected.

 

As of December 31, 2024, we have 3 patent applications filed, or under examination in key global jurisdictions relating to our products. Our future success depends in large part on our and, as applicable, our licensors’, ability to obtain and maintain patent protection in the United States and other countries with respect to our proprietary technology. We cannot be certain that patents will be issued in those countries where our applications are still under examination.

 

The patent process is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. It is also possible that we will fail to identify patentable aspects of our R&D output before it is too late to obtain patent protection.

 

18

 

 

The patent position of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies generally is highly uncertain, involves complex legal and factual questions and has in recent years been the subject of much litigation. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial value of our patent rights are uncertain. Our pending and future patent applications may not result in patents being issued which protect our technology or products or which effectively prevent others from commercializing competitive technologies and products. Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the United States and other countries may diminish the value of our patents or narrow the scope of our patent protection.

 

The laws of foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Publications of discoveries in the scientific literature often lag behind the actual discoveries, and patent applications in the United States and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing. Therefore, we cannot be certain that we or our licensors were the first to make the inventions claimed in our owned or licensed patents or pending patent applications, or that we or our licensors were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions.

 

Assuming the other requirements for patentability are met, in the United States, for patents that have an effective filing date prior to March 15, 2013, the first to make the claimed invention is entitled to the patent, while outside the United States, the first to file a patent application is entitled to the patent. In March 2013, the United States transitioned to a first inventor to file system in which, assuming the other requirements for patentability are met, the first inventor to file a patent application will be entitled to the patent. We may be subject to a third-party pre-issuance submission of prior art to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or become involved in opposition, derivation, reexamination, inter parties review or interference proceedings challenging our patent rights or the patent rights of others. An adverse determination in any such submission, proceeding or litigation could reduce the scope of, or invalidate, our patent rights, allow third parties to commercialize our technology or products and compete directly with us, without payment to us, or result in our inability to manufacture or commercialize products without infringing third-party patent rights.

 

Even if our owned and licensed patent applications are issued as patents, they may not be issued in a form that will provide us with any meaningful protection, prevent competitors from competing with us or otherwise provide us with any competitive advantage. Our competitors may be able to circumvent our owned or licensed patents by developing similar or alternative technologies or products in a non-infringing manner.

 

The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its inventorship, scope, validity or enforceability, and our owned and licensed patents may be challenged in the courts or patent offices in the United States and abroad. Such challenges may result in loss of exclusivity or freedom to operate or in patent claims being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable, which could limit our ability to stop others from using or commercializing similar or identical technology and products, or limit the duration of the patent protection of our technology and products. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of new product candidates, patents protecting such candidates might expire before or shortly after such candidates are commercialized. As a result, our owned and licensed patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours.

 

We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful.

 

Competitors may infringe on our patents. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, we may be required to file infringement claims, which can be expensive and time consuming. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent of ours is invalid or unenforceable or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our patents do not cover the technology in question. An adverse result in any litigation proceeding could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, our licensors may have rights to file and prosecute such claims and we are reliant on them.

 

Third parties may initiate legal proceedings alleging that we are infringing their intellectual property rights, the outcome of which would be uncertain and could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business.

 

Our commercial success depends upon our ability and the ability of our collaborators to develop, manufacture, market and sell our products and product candidates and use our proprietary technologies without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. We have yet to conduct comprehensive freedom-to-operate searches to determine whether our use of certain of the patent rights owned by or licensed to us would infringe patents issued to third parties. We may become party to, or threatened with, future adversarial proceedings or litigation regarding intellectual property rights with respect to our products and technology, including interference proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and their European Union and global equivalents. Third parties may assert infringement claims against us based on existing patents or patents that may be granted in the future. If we are found to infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, we could be required to obtain a license from such third party to continue developing and marketing our products and technology. However, we may not be able to obtain any required license on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Even if we were able to obtain a license, it could be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors access to the same technologies licensed to us. We could be forced, including by court order, to cease commercializing the infringing technology or product. In addition, we could be found liable for monetary damages. A finding of infringement could prevent us from commercializing our product candidates or force us to cease some of our business operations, which could materially harm our business. Claims that we have misappropriated the confidential information or trade secrets of third parties could have a similar negative impact on our business.

 

19

 

 

Intellectual property litigation could cause us to spend substantial resources and distract our personnel from their normal responsibilities.

 

Even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses and could distract our personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments and if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock. Such litigation or proceedings could substantially increase our operating losses and reduce the resources available for development activities or any future sales, marketing or distribution activities. We may not have sufficient financial or other resources to adequately conduct such litigation or proceedings. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than we can because of their greater financial resources. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace.

 

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed.

 

In addition to seeking patents for some of our technology and products, we also rely on trade secrets, including unpatented know-how, technology and other proprietary information, to maintain our competitive position. We seek to protect these trade secrets, in part, by entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who have access to them, such as our employees, corporate collaborators, outside scientific collaborators, CMOs, consultants, advisors and other third parties. We also enter into confidentiality and invention or patent assignment agreements with our employees and consultants. Despite these efforts, any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose our proprietary information, including our trade secrets, and we may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, some courts inside and outside the United States are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets. If any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we would have no right to prevent them from using that technology or information to compete with us. If any of our trade secrets were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position would be harmed.

 

If we are unable to obtain and maintain protection of our intellectual property, which are costly to maintain, the value of our products may be adversely affected.

 

Our industry is characterized by vigorous pursuit and protection of intellectual property rights, which has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation for several companies. Third parties may assert claims of misappropriation of trade secrets or infringement of intellectual property rights against us or against our end customers or partners for which we may be liable.

 

As our business expands, the number of products and competitors in our markets can be expected to increase and product overlaps to occur, and infringement claims may increase in number and significance. Intellectual property lawsuits are subject to inherent uncertainties due to the complexity of the technical issues involved, and we cannot be certain that we would be successful in defending ourselves against intellectual property claims. Further, many potential litigants have the capability to dedicate substantially greater resources than we can to enforce their intellectual property rights and to defend claims that may be brought against them. Furthermore, a successful claimant could secure a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages or prevents us from distributing products or performing certain services.

 

We attempt to protect our intellectual property position, in part, by filing patent applications related to our proprietary technology, inventions and improvements that are important to our business. However, our patent and trademark positions are not likely by itself to prevent others from commercializing products that compete directly with our products. In addition, the patents and trademarks owned by us or issued to us could be challenged, invalidated, or held to be unenforceable. We also note that any patent granted may not provide a competitive advantage to us. Our competitors may independently develop technologies that are substantially similar or superior to our technologies. Further, third parties may design around our patented or proprietary products and technologies.

 

We rely on certain trade secrets and we may not be able to adequately protect our trade secrets even with contracts with our personnel and third parties. Also, any third party could independently develop and have the right to use, our trade secret, know-how and other proprietary information. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could suffer materially.

 

We may not be successful in registering and enforcing our trademarks.

 

As we apply to register our unregistered trademarks in the United States and other countries, our applications may not be allowed for registration in a timely fashion or at all, and our registered trademarks may not be maintained or enforced. Trademark enforcement is always uncertain, since proving infringement requires a showing of consumer confusion in addition to use by the defendant of a similar or identical trademark. In addition, opposition or cancellation proceedings may be filed against our trademark applications and registrations, and our trademarks may not survive such proceedings. In certain countries outside of the United States, trademark registration is required to enforce trademark rights. If we do not secure registrations for our trademarks, we may encounter more difficulty in enforcing them against third parties than we otherwise would.

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities

 

Persons who purchase shares of our Common Stock may lose their money without us ever being able to develop an active market.

 

In the event that no active market to purchase our Common Stock is ever created, it is likely that the entire investment of a purchaser in our Common Stock would be lost.

 

We are authorized to issue Convertible Preferred Stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely impact the rights of holders of our securities.

 

Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue up to 7,000,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. Any Convertible Preferred Stock that we issue in the future may rank ahead of our securities in terms of dividend priority or liquidation premiums and may have greater voting rights than our securities. In addition, such Convertible Preferred Stock may contain provisions allowing those shares to be converted into shares of Common Stock, which could dilute the value of our Common Stock to current stockholders and could adversely affect the market price, if any, of our Common Stock. In addition, the Convertible Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of authorized convertible preferred stock after the conversion of all of the outstanding shares, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.

 

Investors in this Offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.

 

If you purchase Common Stock in this Offering, your investment will be diluted to the extent of the difference between your purchase price per Offered Share and the net tangible book value of our Common Stock after this Offering. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024, was $(2,329,074), or $(0.02) per share.

 

As a result of the issuances in this Offering, investors in this Offering will incur immediate dilution of $_______ per share based on the $ assumed offering price of $____ per share. Investors in this Offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment will be diluted upon the completion of this Offering.

 

We have outstanding indebtedness pursuant to the Convertible Notes, and default on such Convertible Notes may adversely affect our financial condition and ability to operate our business. 

 

If the holders of the Convertible Notes determine not to convert the Convertible Notes into shares of our Common Stock, we may be unable to discharge such obligations when due. In such circumstance, we would be in default on each of the Convertible Notes, which would have a severe material adverse effect on our ability to operate our business. None of the Convertible Notes is due until, at the earliest, April 1, 2025.

 

In addition, we may need additional financing to support our business and pursue our growth strategy, including for pursuing our future planned studies. Our ability to obtain additional financing, if and when required, will depend on investor demand, our operating performance, the condition of the capital markets and other factors. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our Common Stock, and, in the case of equity and equity-linked securities, our existing shareholder may experience dilution.

 

We may seek capital that may result in stockholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our Common Stock.

 

From time to time, we may seek to obtain additional capital, either through equity, equity linked or debt securities. The decision to obtain additional capital will depend on, among other factors, our business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our Common Stock, which could negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock or cause our stockholders to experience dilution.

 

Given that we do not have committed sources of financing, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares, possibly at a deep discount to market. These actions may result in dilution of the ownership interests and voting power of existing stockholders, further dilute Common Stock book value, and may delay, defer or prevent a change of control.

 

Future issuances of debt securities and equity securities could negatively affect the market price of shares of our Common Stock and, in the case of equity securities, may be dilutive to existing stockholders.

 

In the future, we may issue debt or equity securities or incur other financial obligations, including stock dividends. Upon liquidation, it is possible that holders of our debt securities and other loans and preferred stock would receive a distribution of our available assets before Common Stockholders. We are not required to offer any such additional debt or equity securities to existing stockholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, additional Common Stock issuances, directly or through convertible or exchangeable securities, warrants or options, would dilute the holdings of our existing Common Stockholders and such issuances, or the perception of such issuances, could reduce the market price of shares of our Common Stock.

 

21

 

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock.

 

We intend to retain earnings, if any, to provide funds for the implementation of our business strategy. We do not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that holders of our Common Stock will receive cash, stock or other dividends on their shares of our Common Stock, until we have funds which our Board of Directors determines can be allocated to dividends. Further, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

  

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this Offering and may not use them effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this Offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds will be used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this Offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Furthermore, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this Offering.

 

The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this Offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this Offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

 

Because our Common Stock is considered a “penny stock,” any investment in our Common Stock is considered to be a high risk investment and is subject to restrictions on marketability.

 

Our Common Stock is considered a “penny stock” because it is quoted on the OTC Pink and it trades for less than $5.00 per share. The OTC Pink is generally regarded as a less efficient trading market than the Nasdaq Capital or Global Markets or the New York Stock Exchange. The SEC has rules that regulate broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.”

 

Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. The broker dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker dealer and any salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to effecting a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our Common Stock. Since our Common Stock is subject to the regulations applicable to penny stocks, the market liquidity for our Common Stock could be adversely affected because the regulations on penny stocks could limit the ability of broker dealers to sell our Common Stock and thus your ability to sell our Common Stock in the secondary market in the future.

 

We can provide no assurance that our Common Stock will be quoted or listed on any trading platform of higher quality than the OTC Pink, including the OTCQB, NYSE American or any exchange, even if eligible, in the future.

 

It is possible that our Common Stock will continue to experience volatility in its trading volume and its market price.

 

Our Common Stock is quoted in the over-the-counter market under the symbol “LUDG” on the OTC Pink. For over the past five years, our Common Stock has experienced both volume and price volatility. The market for low-priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Wide fluctuations in market prices are not uncommon.

 

The price of our Common Stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:

 

  quarterly variations in our operating results;

 

  operating results that vary from the expectations of investors;

 

  changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by investors;

 

  reaction to our periodic filings, or presentations by executives at investor and industry conferences;

 

  changes in our capital structure;

 

  announcements of innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

 

22

 

 

  announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

  lack of success in the expansion of our business operations;

 

  third-party announcements of claims or proceedings against us or adverse developments in pending proceedings;

 

  additions or departures of key personnel;

 

  asset impairment;

 

  temporary or permanent inability to offer products or services; and

 

  rumors or public speculation about any of the above factors.

 

If our quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our Common Stock could decline substantially. Furthermore, any quarterly fluctuations in our operating results may, in turn, cause the price of our stock to fluctuate substantially. We believe that quarterly comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.

 

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class-action litigation often has been instituted against that company. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could cause us to incur substantial costs to defend such claims and divert management’s attention and resources.

 

The costs of being a public company could result in us being unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As a public company, we are required to comply with numerous financial reporting and legal requirements, including those pertaining to audits and internal control. The costs of maintaining public company reporting requirements could be significant and may preclude us from seeking financing or equity investment on terms acceptable to us and our stockholders. We estimate these costs to be approximately $75,000 per year and may be higher if our business volume or business activity increases significantly. We estimate that our costs will increase if we are able to successfully uplist to [●].

 

To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital and no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or, if available, will be on acceptable terms. The recent interest rate hikes and the present conditions and state of the United States and global economies make it difficult to predict whether and/or when and to what extent a recession has occurred or will occur in the near future. These conditions potentially raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment.

 

Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure

 

Our holding company structure makes us dependent on our subsidiaries for our cash flow and could serve to subordinate the rights of our stockholders to the rights of creditors of our subsidiaries, in the event of an insolvency or liquidation of any such subsidiary.

 

The Company acts as a holding company and, accordingly, substantially all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. Such subsidiaries will be separate and distinct legal entities. As a result, substantially all of our cash flow will depend upon the earnings of our subsidiaries. In addition, we will depend on the distribution of earnings, loans or other payments by our subsidiaries. No subsidiary will have any obligation to provide the Company with funds for our payment obligations. If there is an insolvency, liquidation or other reorganization of any of our subsidiaries, our stockholders will have no right to proceed against their assets. Creditors of those subsidiaries will be entitled to payment in full from the sale or other disposal of the assets of those subsidiaries before the Company, as a stockholder, would be entitled to receive any distribution from that sale or disposal.

Risks Relating to This Offering and the Reverse Stock Split

 

The proposed reverse stock split could cause our stock price to decline relative to its value before the split and decrease the liquidity of shares of our Common Stock.

 

We plan to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock prior to the effectiveness and closing of this offering in order to achieve a sufficient increase in our stock price to enable us to qualify for listing on the [●]. There is no assurance that the reverse stock split will not cause an actual decline in the value of our outstanding Common Stock. The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be affected adversely by the reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following the reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our Common Stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split. In addition, the reverse stock split may increase the number of stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our common stock, creating the potential for such stockholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting such sales.

 

Even if we effect a reverse stock split of our Common Stock, we cannot assure you that the market price of our Common Stock will remain high enough for such reverse split to have the intended effect of complying with []’s minimum bid price requirement.

 

In connection with and prior to this Offering and the uplist of our Common Stock to [●], we intend to effect a reverse stock split of our Common Stock at a specific ratio within a range from one-for-[●] to one-for-[●] to allow us to obtain [●] approval of our initial listing application to list our Common Stock on the [●] Capital Market. Even if such reverse split of our Common Stock occurs, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock following the reverse stock split will remain at the level required for continuing compliance with that requirement. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’s Common Stock to decline in the period following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our Common Stock declines following the effectuation of the reverse stock split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. In any event, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, such as negative financial or operational results, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and thus jeopardize our ability to meet or maintain the [●]’s minimum bid price requirement.

 

There has been no independent valuation of the stock, which means that the stock may be worth less than the purchase price.

 

The Offering price of the Common Stock in this Offering has been determined by us and the Underwriter, as hereinafter defined, without independent valuation of the Common Stock. We established the offering price based on management’s estimate of the value of the Common Stock. This valuation is highly speculative and arbitrary. There is no relation to the market value, book value, or any other established criteria. We did not obtain an independent appraisal opinion on the valuation of the. Common Stock. The Common Stock may have a value significantly less than the offering price and the Common Stock may never obtain a value equal to or greater than the offering price.

 

The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of Common Stock could adversely affect their market price.

 

Sales of substantial amounts of the Common Stock in the public market after the completion of this Offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. The Common Stock sold in this Offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, and shares held by our existing shareholders may also be sold in the public market in the future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act and the applicable lockup agreements.

 

There will be shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after this Offering, or shares of Common Stock if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase our shares in full. In connection with this Offering, we, our directors and executive officers and the holders of 5% or more of our outstanding Common Stock have agreed with the underwriter, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell, transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Common Stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. However, the underwriters may release these securities from these restrictions at any time.

 

We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant shareholders or any other holders or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of the Common Stock. See “Underwriting” and “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a more detailed description of the restrictions on selling our securities after this Offering.

 

The underwriters of this Offering may waive or release parties to the lock-up agreements entered into in connection with this Offering, which could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.

 

We, our directors, executive officers and holders of 5% or more of our Common Stock have entered into lock-up agreements with respect to our and their respective shares of Common Stock. As restrictions on resale end, the market price of our Common Stock could decline if the holders of restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. ThinkEquity LLC, as representative of the underwriters, at any time and without notice, may release all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to the foregoing lock-up agreements entered into in connection with this Offering. If the restrictions under the lock-up agreements are waived, approximately [●] million shares of Common Stock will be available for sale into the market, which could reduce the market value for our Common Stock.

 

If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of [●], [●] could delist our securities.

 

We intend to apply to have our Common Stock listed on under the symbol “[●]” and we anticipate that our Common Stock will begin trading on immediately following the completion of this Offering. Although, after effecting the Reverse Stock Split and giving effect to this Offering we expect to meet the minimum initial listing standards set forth in the Listing Standards, we cannot assure you that our securities will be, or will continue to be, listed on in the future. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements. We may not be able to comply with the applicable listing standards and could delist our securities as a result.

24

 

 

We cannot assure you that our Common Stock, if delisted from [●], will be listed on another national securities exchange. If our Common Stock is delisted by [●], our Common Stock would likely trade on the OTC Markets where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Common Stock.

 

Techniques employed by short sellers may drive down the market price of the Common Stock.

 

Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying identical securities back at a later date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale.

 

As it is in the short seller’s interest for the price of the security to decline, many short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions regarding the relevant issuer and our prospects to create negative market momentum and generate profits for themselves after selling a security short. These short attacks have, in the past, led to selling of shares in the market.

 

It is not clear what effect such negative publicity could have on us. If we were to become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we could have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend ourselves.

 

While we would strongly defend against any such short seller attacks, we may be constrained in the manner in which we can proceed against the relevant short seller by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law or issues of commercial confidentiality. Such a situation could be costly and time-consuming, and could distract our management from growing our business. Even if such allegations are ultimately proven to be groundless, allegations against us could severely impact our business, and any investment in the Common Stock could be greatly reduced or even rendered worthless.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for the Common Stock and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for the Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If research analysts do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades the Common Stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for the Common Stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our Company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for the Common Stock to decline.

 

We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert our management’s attention.

 

The market price of our securities may be volatile, and in the past companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

 

Common Stock

 

We may issue preferred stock with terms that could adversely affect the voting power or value of our Common Stock.

 

Our amended certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including preferences over our Common Stock with respect to dividends and distributions, as our board of directors may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could adversely impact the voting power or value of our Common Stock. For example, we might grant holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of our directors in all events or upon the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we might assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of our Common Stock.

 

Since we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future, stock price appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain.

 

We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, appreciation, if any, in the market price of our Common Stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

 

25

 

 

We may need additional capital, and we may be unable to obtain such capital in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, or at all. Furthermore, our future capital needs may require us to sell additional equity or debt securities that may dilute our stockholders or introduce covenants that may restrict our operations or our ability to pay dividends.

 

To grow our business and remain competitive, we may require additional capital from time to time for our daily operation. In addition to the proceeds of this offering, we may continue to seek capital through private placement transactions. Our ability to obtain additional capital is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including:

 

  our market position and competitiveness in our industry;
     
  our future profitability, overall financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; and
     
  economic, political and other conditions in the U.S.

 

We may be unable to obtain additional capital in a timely manner or on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, our future capital needs and other business reasons could require us to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities could dilute our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations or our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.

 

Our existing stockholders have substantial influence over our Company and their interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other stockholders, which may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our Company, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their securities.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, certain stockholders of management control an aggregate majority of voting power in us. As a result, these stockholders have substantial influence over our business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change in our control, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of any contemplated sale of our Company and may reduce the price of our Common Stock.

 

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this Offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our operating results or enhance the value of our securities.

 

Our expected use of net proceeds from this Offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this Offering. The amounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including amount of cash used in our operations, which can be highly uncertain, subject to substantial risks and can often change. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this Offering.

 

The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this Offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this Offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

 

26

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate the net proceeds to us from this Offering will be approximately $[●] prior to deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us in the approximate amount of $______________.

 

We anticipate that the net cash proceeds of this Offering will be used primarily to execute our business plan and will include expenditures for equipment, marketing, staffing, legal expenses, accounting expense, Company awareness, research and clinical trials, debt repayment and the exercise of an option to buy back certain shares of our Common Stock. Additionally, net cash proceeds will be used for paying general and administrative expenses associated with this Offering and paying general and administrative expenses associated with being a listed public company, including accounting, auditing, transfer agent, EDGAR filing and legal expenses. The precise amounts that we will devote to our programs will vary depending on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the progress and results of our research and assessments as to the market for our products that are in development. In the event that we sell less than the maximum Common Stock offered in this Offering, our first priorities are to pay fees associated with product development and their market introduction.

 

We plan to use the net proceeds of this Offering primarily for the following purpose 

   Estimated Amount of Net Proceeds 
General and Administrative Expenses  $ 
Sales & Marketing Expenses  $  
Research and Clinical Trials  $750,000 
Repayment of Notes Payable(1)  $540,000 
Working Capital  $  
      
Estimated offering expenses     
Total Net Proceeds  $   

 

(1) These debts relate to loans obtained by us to pay ongoing operating expenses. $1,040,000 of 8% convertible notes, maturing on April 3, 2025, of which $500,000 will be automatically converted into Common Stock upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, and $540,000 will be repaid from the proceeds of the Offering. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations--Convertible Promissory Notes” for a complete description of our outstanding Convertible Promissory Notes that will be repaid in part with the proceeds of this Offering.

 

We intend to use $750,000 from this Offering, to commence three separate clinical trials. We believe that we will need to raise additional funds either through equity sales, debt offerings or through the sales of our Revealia test kits to complete the trials. As we have not begun the clinical trials yet, we are uncertain as to the full cost of completing all three trials, but we estimate that we will require at least $3,000,000 We anticipate that the proceeds of this Offering will be enough for us to begin our proposed clinical trials, however, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional funds to complete them and there is no assurance that we will be able to raise the additional funds required to do so. See “Business— Planned Future Clinical Trials” for a complete description of our planned clinical trials below. 

 

27

 

 

We intend to deploy a direct-to-consumer marketing campaign for our proprietary RevealiaTM mRNA testing kits. In addition, we intend to retain outside parties to implement a company awareness that would serve to increase our Company’s visibility within its target markets, as well as within the investment community. Our management believes that building investor awareness of our Company is an important aspect of any company that seeks to uplist its stock to a higher quality market, to benefit its shareholders.

 

As we expand our operations with proceeds from this Offering, it will be necessary to hire key personnel, including a Chief Marketing Officer and a Chief Compliance Officer, as well as ancillary support staff (e.g., warehouse, staff accountants, bookkeeper, marketing analyst, sales representatives, bio-analytics specialist).

 

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the progress of our business growth strategy and the scale achieved by our sales and marketing team, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations. We therefore cannot estimate with certainty the amount of net proceeds to be used for the purposes described above. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds.

Prior to this Offering, there has been a limited public market for our Common Stock. Our Common Stock currently trades on the OTC Pink where it is quoted under the symbol “LUDG.” The public offering price of the shares of Common Stock will be negotiated between us and the Underwriter. The principal factors to be considered in determining the public offering price include:

 

  the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to ThinkEquity;
     
  our history and prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;
     
  our past and present financial performance;
     
  our prospects for future earnings and the present state of our development;

  other factors deemed relevant by the underwriters and us.

 

The assumed public offering price set forth on the cover page of this preliminary prospectus is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors.

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock since our inception. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Declaration or payment of dividends, if any, in the future, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our then current financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our Common Stock if the price appreciates. You should not purchase our Common Stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Since we do not anticipate paying dividends, and if we are not successful in establishing an orderly public trading market for our shares, then you may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on your investment. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we may not pay dividends in the foreseeable future, we may have trouble raising additional funds which could affect our ability to expand our business operations.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in the Common Stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and our pro forma net tangible book value of the Common Stock after this Offering. Dilution results from the fact that the public offering price per share of Common Stock is substantially in excess of the book value per share of Common Stock attributable to the existing shareholders for our presently outstanding Common Stock.

 

Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024, was $(2,329,074) or approximately $(0.02) per share. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of total tangible assets, minus the amount of total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 

On a pro forma basis to reflect the following in addition to the pro forma adjustments set forth above: (i) the issuance of 1,656,999 shares of Common Stock subsequent to September 30, 2024, and (ii) to give effect to our proposed 1:[   ] reverse stock split to be effected prior to the effectiveness of this Offering.

 

On  an as adjusted pro forma basis to net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024 was $______ or approximately $______ per share on a pro forma basis to further reflect (i) the issuance of [●] shares of our Common Stock that will be issued upon the automatic conversion at the effectiveness of this Offering of approximately $[●] of accrued interests and original issuance discount of our Convertible Notes, (ii) the issuance of [●] shares of Common Stock since September 30, 2024, (iii) the issuance of [●] shares of our Common Stock that will be issued upon the conversion at the effectiveness of this Offering of our outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock.

   Actual   Pro Forma   Pro Forma As Adjusted 
   $    $           $

After giving further effect to our issuance and sale of _______________ shares of Common Stock offered in this Offering at the assumed public offering price of $_______ per share after deduction of the underwriting discounts and commissions, non-accountable expense allowance and estimated offering expenses payable by us of $______, and assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option, on an as adjusted basis our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024 would have been approximately $_______ million, or $_______ per share, to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $_______ per share, to purchasers of Common Stock in this Offering. Assuming the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024 would have been approximately $_______ million, or $_______ per share, to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $_______ per share, to purchasers of Common Stock in this Offering.

Dilution per share to new investors in this Offering  $   $   $ 

 

The pro forma information as discussed above is illustrative only. Our net tangible book value following the completion of this Offering is subject to adjustment based on the actual public offering price of our Common Stock in this Offering.

 

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $[   ] per share would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024 after this Offering by approximately $[   ], or approximately $[   ] per share, and would change dilution to investors in this Offering to $[   ] per share, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, whose actual outcomes involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those stated in or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements” and elsewhere herein. Please see the notes to our Financial Statements for information about our Critical Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

 

Forward looking Statements

 

There are “forward looking statements” contained herein. All statements that express expectations, estimates, forecasts or projections are forward-looking statements. In addition, other written or oral statements which constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in or suggested by such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this quarterly report to conform forward-looking statements to actual results. Important factors on which such statements are based are assumptions concerning uncertainties, including but not limited to, uncertainties associated with the following:

 

  Inadequate capital and barriers to raising the additional capital or to obtaining the financing needed to implement our business plans;

 

  Our failure to earn revenues or profits;

 

  Inadequate capital to continue business;

 

  Volatility or decline of our stock price;

 

  Potential fluctuation in quarterly results;

 

  Rapid and significant changes in markets;

 

  Litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties; and

 

  Insufficient revenues to cover operating costs.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto which are included in this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ substantially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements included in this discussion as a result of various factors.

 

Overview

 

We are an innovative technology and health related company that is developing products that use mRNA-based genetic markers with the potential to measure the presence of inflammation, and, as a result, inflammatory driven diseases and monitor patient response to treatment. Advancements in medical technology have awarded us with cutting edge genetic tools, unheard of even a generation ago. These genetic tools have the potential to not only achieve early detection of diseases but also to support customized treatments that may improve patient outcomes. Our Company is at the forefront of this new era of medicine with development of products that will embody our proprietary mRNA genomic technology that has the potential of screening for genetic biomarkers for inflammatory driven diseases, including, but not limited to, heart disease, diabetes, preeclampsia, cancer and “long COVID.” As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has not sold any products.

 

Current Financial Condition Summary

 

We had a net loss of $2,861,013 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Additionally, we had net cash used in operating activities of $523,983 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $2,329,074, an accumulated deficit of $7,103,495 and a stockholders’ deficit of $2,329,074, which could have a material impact on our ability to obtain needed capital.

 

 Going Concern

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the financial statements, we had a working capital deficit of $2,329,074 at September 30, 2024, and had a net loss of $2,861,013 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

Results of Operations 

 

Comparison of the Three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had revenue from services of $207 and $0, respectively. The increase in revenue is due to the sale of our NuGenea products. We expect that revenues from sales of our planned products will begin during the first quarter of 2025, assuming we are able to obtain needed funding of approximately $1,500,000, of which there is no assurance.

 

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were $491,353 and $195,570 respectively. The increase in operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to a significant increase in our activities relating to research and development, preparing to bring our products to market, and the increases in payments of monthly fees to our key consultants and fees for professional services, including accounting and legal.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. The increase of $ 158,441 in general and administrative expenses, to $319,513 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $161,072 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to the increase in our payments of monthly fees to our key consultants and fees for professional services, including accounting and legal.

 

Research and Development. The increase of $137,549, to $172,047 from $34,498 in research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were incurred due to our determining to make expenditures in the development of our planned products, including the payment of product study-relate expenses. While we expect to continue to incur research and development expenses, we are unable to predict the level of such expenditures, due to the uncertainty of the level of funding that will be available to us.

 

Other Income/Expense. Total other expense increased by $142,693 to $394,589 from $251,896 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in total other expense during the three months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to an increase in inducement expense associated with our extending notes payable that had reached maturity, and an increase in interest expense. The increases were offset by a decrease in amortization of debt discount.

 

Inducement Expense. Inducement expense increased by $191,614 to $377,774 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $186,160 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to costs related to the extension of notes payable.

 

Amortization of Debt Discount. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred $0 in amortization of debt discount for OID and guaranteed interest on a convertible note payable. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred amortization of debt discount expense of $61,733. We are unable to predict with any certainty our amortization of debt discount expense for all of 2024.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $12,812 to $16,815 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $4,003 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the interest incurred on convertible notes payable. We anticipate that our interest expense for all of 2024 will be higher but are unable to make any prediction in this regard.

 

Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $885,942 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a net loss of $447,466 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in net losses from operations, interest expense, and financing expenses of $500,416, offset by a decrease of $61,733 in amortization of debt discount. Should we be able to obtain needed capital, as we continue to expand our business activities, we expect that our operating expenses for all of 2024 will be in excess of those incurred during the year ended December 31, 2023. However, we are unable to predict our actual operating expenses for all of 2024, due to the uncertainty surrounding our ability to obtain capital.

Results of Operations 

 

Nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 

 

Revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had revenue from services of $13,254 and $0, respectively. We expect that revenues from sales of our planned products will begin during the first quarter of 2025, assuming we are able to obtain needed funding of approximately $1,500,000, of which there is no assurance.

 

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were $1,245,751 and $1,274,036 respectively. The decrease in operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to a significant decrease in our activities relating to research and development, as well as the reduction in payments of monthly fees to our key consultants and fees for professional services, including accounting and legal.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. The increase of $113,832 in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to the increase in our payments of monthly fees to our key consultants and fees for professional services, including accounting and legal.

 

Research and Development. The $286,591 and $428,708 in research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were incurred due to our determining to make expenditures in the development of our planned products, including the payment of product study-relate expenses. While we expect to continue to incur research and development expenses, we are unable to predict the level of such expenditures, due to the uncertainty of the level of funding that will be available to us.

 

Other Income/Expense. Total other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were $1,628,516 and $732,706, respectively. The increase in total other expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to an increase in inducement expense associated with our extending notes payable that had reached maturity, an issuance of warrants as a financing expense and an increase in interest expense. The increases were offset by a decrease in amortization of debt discount.

 

Amortization of Debt Discount. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred $15,000 in amortization of debt discount for OID and guaranteed interest on a convertible note payable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred amortization of debt discount expense of $434,514. We are unable to predict with any certainty our amortization of debt discount expense for all of 2024.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was higher than for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, $38,612 versus $9,175. We anticipate that our interest expense for all of 2024 will be higher but are unable to make any prediction in this regard.

 

Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $2,861,013 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a net loss of $2,006,742 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to an increase interest expense, stock-based inducement and financing expenses of $1,613,516, offset by a decrease of $28,285 in operating expenses, a decrease of $419,514 in amortization of debt discount and an increase in interest expense of $29,437. Should we be able to obtain needed capital, as we continue to expand our business activities, we expect that our operating expenses for all of 2024 will be in excess of those incurred during the year ended December 31, 2023. However, we are unable to predict our actual operating expenses for all of 2024, due to the uncertainty surrounding our ability to obtain capital.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

 

September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2024, the Company had $43,352 in cash and a working capital deficit of $2,329,074 compared to $108,335 in cash and a working capital deficit of $1,461,565 at December 31, 2023. The Company has sufficient working capital to fund current operating expenses at least through the first quarter of 2025. To the extent the Company requires additional funds beyond such time, we will need to obtain additional debt or equity-based capital from third parties to implement our full business plans. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such additional capital. We believe that the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to operate for 12 months following the Offering.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At September 30, 2024, we did not have any off balance sheet arrangements that we believe have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our accounting policies are more fully described in our unaudited financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current and anticipated events, actual results could differ from the estimates.

 

We have identified the following accounting policies as those that require significant judgments, assumptions and estimates and that have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations. These policies are considered critical because they may result in fluctuations in our reported results from period to period, due to the significant judgments, estimates and assumptions about complex and inherently uncertain matters and because the use of different judgments, assumptions or estimates could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.

 

Intangible asset. Intangible assets with an indefinite life, consist of store operating rights, are not amortized and are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

 

Intangible assets with finite lives, consist of customer lists, are initially recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful lives of the respective assets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.

 

The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.

 

40

 

 

Derivative Liabilities. The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (“ASC 480”), “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (“ASC 815”) “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations (other income/expense) as change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company uses a binomial pricing model to determine fair value of these instruments.

 

Debt Discount. For certain notes issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount and other direct financing expenses. The original issue discount and financing expenses are recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Research and Development. The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with ASC subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”).

 

Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred.

 

Stock-based Compensation. The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options.

 

The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

 

When determining fair value, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

 

Exercise price,

 

Expected dividends,

 

Expected volatility,

 

Risk-free interest rate; and

 

Expected life of option.

Our Focus

 

We are an innovative genomic technology and health related Company that is developing products that use mRNA genetic biomarkers to potentially assess the occurrence of inflammation, and, as a result, inflammation related chronic diseases. We are currently using genetic tools in our mRNA program that were developed between 1990 and 2003 by The Human Genome Project (HGP). The project sequenced all of the genes within the human genome. Base pairs that compose our mRNA biomarkers are based on these DNA findings. Advancements in genomic technology have awarded humankind with cutting edge genetic tools, unheard of even a generation ago. These genetic tools, coupled with our proprietary mRNA technology, have the potential to achieve early detection of inflammatory driven diseases, and support customized treatments that may improve patient outcomes. To date, we have not launched our genetic screening program and have not sold any of our test kits.

  

The immune system and inflammatory processes are involved in not just a few select disorders, but a wide variety of physical health problems that dominate the occurrences of many chronic diseases and worldwide morbidity and mortality. Chronic inflammatory diseases have been recognized as the most significant cause of death in the world today, with more than 50% of all deaths being attributable to inflammation-related diseases, according to [ Furman D, et al. Chronic inflammation in the Etiology of Disease Across The Life Span. Nat Med. 2019 Dec; 25(12): 1822–1832.]

 

Scientifically valid studies in peer reviewed journals have shown that over 90% of chronic diseases are related to inflammatory causation. These diseases include but are not limited to heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders. Furthermore, chronic inflammation has also been linked to mental issues such as depression, according to a study published at the Am J. Psychiatry journal (Frank P, et al. Association Between Systemic Inflammation and Individual Symptoms of Depression: A Pooled Analysis of 15 Population-Based Cohort StudiesAm J Psychiatry. Published online October 14, 2021. doi: 10.1176/appi.ajp.2021.20121776). The risk of developing chronic inflammation may be traced back to early development, and its effects can persist throughout the life span to affect adulthood health and the risk of mortality. With this perspective, the Company’s genomic technology intends to offer promising avenues for future research and medical care intervention.

 

We use commercially available medical machine learning artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology that uses mRNA inflammatory language to potentially capture an inflammatory snapshot of disease and the body’s response to treatment. 

 

What is mRNA?

 

First, Ribonucleic acid (“RNA”), is a nucleic acid present in all living cells that has structural similarities to deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”). Unlike DNA, however, RNA is most often single stranded. An RNA molecule has a backbone made of alternating phosphate groups and the sugar ribose, rather than the deoxyribose found in DNA.

 

mRNA, or messenger RNA, is, in simple terms, a type of RNA found in cells. mRNA molecules carry the genetic language and information from DNA that is needed to make proteins. They carry the information from the DNA in the nucleus of the cell to the cytoplasm where the proteins are made.

Our Philosophy

 

We believe the future of healthcare will focus on personalized medicine that is preventative, rather than reactive, and we can be at the front of this revolution. We are of the opinion, and believe that many others share our sentiment, that the healthcare system, as it is currently structured, can be improved. The practice of healthcare is often reactive rather than preventative. This means that, in many instances, the detection and/or identification of diseases does not occur until they have already caused a certain amount of damage. This results in higher financial costs overall as well as a lower quality of life for people. We believe that healthcare does not have to remain this way. With precision medicine, of which we want our mRNA genetic indexing to be a part, diseases may be detected early and before they cause irreparable damage.

 

Recent research has revealed that inflammation plays a key role in many diseases and that reducing it can even prevent heart attacks and strokes, among other diseases. In September 2017, a truly landmark significant clinical study called the “CANTOS Trial” was primarily authored by Dr. Paul M. Ridker and published in the New England Journal of Medicine. In the Cantos Trial, the study showed that therapy with the anti-inflammatory drug Canakinumab reduced inflammation”, anti-inflammatory therapy, in people who had a prior heart attack and showed that, was shown to reduce their likelihood of subsequent heart attacks or strokes was reduced by 15 percent. It also decreased the need for major interventions such as angioplasty and bypass surgery by 30 percent, proving that addressing inflammation to prevent heart disease is essential.

 

The objective of our program is to measure key mRNA genes that are involved in the production of inflammatory molecules, called cytokines and chemokines, that cause chronic tissue damage, such as those produced in heart attacks, strokes and inflammation related diseases. If caught early enough, appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment can be employed in an attempt to ward off the chronic process before it causes irreparable damage.

 

Chronic inflammation can be silent and not produce symptoms — and most people are not regularly screened for inflammation.

 

Candidates

 

Our products include our proprietary RevealiaTM Home Test Kits

 

RevealiaTM Home Test Kits

 

Our test kits use mRNA genetic indices to measure the expression of cytokines and chemokines, which are small proteins that create cellular signals. Increases and decreases in gene expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines may be found in patients with active or inactive chronic disease conditions. The combination of mRNA genetic expression and machine learning AI could, we believe, with a certain degree of accuracy, identify individuals with the potential to develop chronic inflammatory diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. Through mRNA indices, we have the potential to obtain a personalized inflammatory score, which is a snapshot or signature, which may have the predictive power to diagnose chronic disease development, and further provide us with the ability to evaluate treatment response. One example of treatment response is to evaluate patient outcomes to different anti-cancer therapies.

To better understand the relationship between genomic data and patient phenotype and clinical diagnosis the Company has developed, internally, a variety of statistical and data analysis approaches, all centering around a combined representation of machine learning and clustering methodology. We will examine the efficacy of three types of models:

 

1.A model using the biomarker embedding alone.

 

2.A model using the biomarker embedding in addition to patient demographic information.

 

3.A model using the biomarker embedding, patient demographic information, and relevant data extracted from the medical record.

 

Once individuals test over a certain period of time, we intend to illustrate via the snapshot index or picture how that individual’s health may have changed, whether it is an improvement or worsening of their health by showing the changes in their levels of mRNA genes. We believe our approach will be unique as it is tailored to the individuality of each patient. For instance, we intend to personalize each patient’s care based on their specific needs as determined by our mRNA indexing. We believe the benefits of our approach can potentially lead to earlier detection of inflammation that could lead to chronic disease development, which can improve patient outcomes, and hopefully lower individual healthcare costs.

 

Machine Learning (AI). In a general sense, machine learning (ML; often used interchangeably with the term “Artificial Intelligence”, or AI) is a set of computational approaches wherein an algorithm is used to learn characteristics of some data set or group together entities in the data based on common characteristics. Machine learning has three main subfields: supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. In the present set of studies we mainly concern ourselves with supervised and unsupervised machine learning. In the former, labeled data are used to learn important predictive characteristics for some response variable. For example, one might have a set of measurements for a collection of three types of iris flowers. Using supervised methods, one could build a model to predict the species of previously unseen iris flowers based on their own measurements. Unsupervised machine learning is slightly different. Here, we don’t have labels but use observed characteristics (or features) of entities to cluster together into groups. Ideally, the groupings that result are associated with some latent shared labels (i.e., without using iris species labels we could cluster them based on their measurements and would likely find that flowers of the same species naturally land in the same group).

In the present work we will use a combination of the above methods, but our main proposal is to use the output of our inflammatory biomarker panel, along with patient metadata and clinical notes, in conjunction with a set of algorithms called autoencoders (AEs), to learn a lower dimensional embedding that lends itself to predicting disease state of patients. On their own, autoencoders are systems that learn something called the identity function—that is, their job is to, given some input, produce the same output. By imposing certain constraints on how this process is carried out, we’re able to use these tools to do far more interesting tasks. For example, if we introduce some complexity penalty onto how it learns the identity function, we force the algorithm to make an accuracy/complexity tradeoff, effectively teaching it how to compress data while minimizing loss of information. Here, we impose an additional constraint on the system: given some labeled data (e.g., disease category and disease state), learn a lower dimensional embedding that compresses the data and minimizes information loss, but also does so in such a way that the lower-dimensional representation lends itself to clustering similar patients.

 

In order to take the above-described approach, we’ll need a significant amount of data. While this is being collected, we will analyze all patient samples using standard approaches out of the frequentist statistical literature linear models corrected for multiple comparisons. This approach allows us to give feedback to patients on disease state, when relevant, but also confirm that there is relevant signal in the data we’re collecting before attempting to derive our new AE-based approach.

 

Planned Research Study

 

In December 2022, we received Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) approval of our study titled “Using Measurements of mRNA and ELISA-based Cytokine/Protein Indices to Evaluate Pre- and Post- Diagnosis and Treatment Response of Patients with Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder.” IRB approval is an important step in conducting a research study. This study is expected to proceed upon us securing the necessary funds to undertake such a study, which is estimated to be $1,250,000.  We will commence this study using funds from this offering, though we will need to secure additional funding to complete the study. There is no guarantee that we will be able to secure additional funding in order to complete the study.

 

-The study is anticipated to continue for approximately 12 months after admitting the first patient.

 

-This single arm study is expected to admit 300 individuals who qualify.

 

-Observational Study Aims and Methodology:

 

There are no specified primary and secondary treatment endpoints.

 

The objective of this study is to develop a computational risk model using mRNA and Elisa-based protein cellular biomarkers collected from bladder cancer patients who will undergo BCG immunotherapy as part of standard of care. Delivery of BCG intravesical immunotherapy is not an observational study procedure.

 

Elisa-based protein cellular biomarkers and Elisa technology: the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ELISA is a powerful method for detecting and quantifying a specific protein in a complex mixture. Originally described by Engvall and Perlmann (1971), the method enables analysis of protein samples immobilized in microplate wells using specific antibodies. ELISA is the main approach for the sensitive quantification of protein biomarkers in body fluids and is currently employed in clinical laboratories for the measurement of clinical biomarkers. As such, it also constitutes the main methodological approach for biomarker validation and further qualification.

 

ELISAs are typically performed in 96-well or 384-well polystyrene plates, which passively bind antibodies and proteins. It is this binding and immobilization of reagents that makes ELISAs easy to design and perform. Having the reactants of the ELISA immobilized to the microplate surface makes it easy to separate bound from non-bound material during the assay. This ability to use high-affinity antibodies and wash away non-specific bound materials makes ELISA a powerful tool for measuring specific analytes within a crude preparation.

 

Computational models in medicine are a new development and are used to create a personalized patient-specific model to provide a patient with optimal diagnosis and treatment. As the amount of diagnostic data increases, paralleled by the greater capacity to personalize treatment, the difficulty of using the full array of measurements of a patient to determine an optimal treatment seems also to be paradoxically increasing. Computational models are progressively addressing this issue by providing a common framework for integrating multiple data sets from individual patients. In the Ludwig clinical strategy, we will be using 48 mRNA based inflammatory genes called cytokines and chemokines plus other protein inflammatory biomarkers to obtain a computational diagnostic score relative a specify chronic inflammatory disease, such as bladder cancer, heart disease and preeclampsia, to name a few. In October 2024, we filed US Provisional Patent Application 63/710,157, (Patent Name. mRNAs DIFFERENTIALLY EXPRESSED IN CANCER), that indicates 6 of the 48 mRNA based inflammatory genes can be used as a screening test to detect propensity for developing breast cancer.

All diagnostic evaluation and treatment protocols are already under use at urological offices and clinics according to established industry standards of care for patients suspected of having urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and potential treatment with BCG Immunotherapy.

 

This study is purely observational and generated data and genetic risk scores will not be a determining factor in patient diagnosis and treatment.

 

Statistical analysis will be performed. The mRNA genetic analysis, measurement inflammatory proteins using Elisa technology plus a unique AI bioinformatics strategy may allow development of predictive models prior to onset of obvious manifestations of a disease. The resultant predictive risk profile, ‘L-Statistic’, could also potentially guide the therapeutic approach of the physician and decrease the severity of future associated comorbidities.

 

Under FDA regulations, IRB review and approval is required for projects that: (i) meet the definition of research, (ii) involve human subjects and (iii) include any interaction or intervention with human subjects or involve access to identifiable private information.

 

Planned Clinical Trials

 

With the proceeds from this Offering we intend to conduct the following three clinical trails.

 

  1.

Named “Using Measurements of mRNA and Elisa-based Cytokine/Protein Indices to Evaluate Pre- and Post- Diagnosis and Treatment Response of Patients with Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder,” this Institutional Review Boards (IRB) approved clinical study is anticipated to begin within the next six months and will continue for about one year after the admission of the first patient; this single arm study will admit 300 individuals who qualify. Machine learning (AI) statistical analysis will be used to analyze all clinical lab results and develop indices that assess the severity of the state of disease for each patient and also allow assessment of disease response to treatment.

 

This study is a standard-of-care study with BCG immunotherapy, an approved FDA drug. Therefore, it is anticipated that evaluation and treatment of patients enrolled would be covered under existing medical and surgical insurance. The costs to evaluate the 300 patients with our mRNA technology and Elisa protein saliva and urine costs is expected to be approximately $180,000, to apply machine learning (AI) statistical costs are expected to be approximately $300,000 and to retain a Clinical Research Organization (CRO) is expected to be approximately $600,000. We expect that the total cost of this clinical study will be approximately $1,250,000.

  

  2. We intend to initiate a clinical study with respect to preeclampsia (a persistent high blood pressure that develops during pregnancy or the postpartum period). The anticipated start date for this clinical study is the second to third quarter of 2025. Prior to commencing this clinical study, a clinical protocol must be written (we expect that our Chief Executive Officer, Marvin S. Hausman, M.D., will author the necessary protocol) and IRB approval obtained. This clinical study is for 100 patients, with anticipated expenses for controls, laboratory tests and a CRO to perform the study are expected to be at least $10,000 per patient. Machine learning AI statistical evaluation will be used to analyze all clinical lab results and develop indices that assess the severity of the state of disease for each patient and also allow assessment of disease response to treatment. In addition, machine learning (AI) statistical costs are expected to be approximately $300,000. We expect that the total cost of this clinical study will be approximately $1,250,000.

 

  3.

We intend to initiate a clinical study with respect to cardiovascular/heart diseases. The anticipated start date for this clinical study is the third quarter of 2025. Prior to commencing this clinical study, a clinical protocol must be completed and submitted for IRB approval.

 

Currently, we are organizing cheek swab samples that have already been collected from 40 clinical centers in the United States. The immediate goal is to isolate mRNA genetic samples and analyze them to identify chronic inflammatory biomarkers specific to cardiovascular diseases. The cost of collecting 300 samples is $300 per sample, or approximately $90,000. Prior to commencing this clinical study, a clinical protocol must be written (we expect that our Chief Executive Officer, Marvin S. Hausman, M.D., will author the necessary protocol) and IRB approval obtained. This clinical trial is expected to enroll 100 patients, with anticipated expenses for controls, laboratory tests and a CRO to perform the study are expected to be at least $15,000 per patient. At a cost of approximately $300,000, machine learning (AI) statistical analysis will be used to analyze all clinical lab results and develop indices that assess the severity of the state of disease for each patient and also allow assessment of disease response to treatment. We expect that the total cost of this clinical study will be approximately $1,250,000.

 

46

 

 

The objective of this clinical study, which will utilize our mRNA genomic-based technology, cytokines and related proteins is to establish a diagnostic paradigm for patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and to use this data to evaluate the efficacy of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (“BCG”) immunotherapy as a personalized score for the patient. Integrating these disciplines into a computational model can develop a personalized patient diagnostic and treatment response, ‘L- genomic bladder cancer risk’ score, to aid in BCG immunotherapy disease management at a clinical practice level. BCG is approved by the FDA to treat bladder cancer patients. BCG is a non-specific potentiator (a reactant that enhances a physiologic response) of a person’s immune system. The goal of the Company through this planned program is to illustrate the potential of our technology to detect early the development of the inflammation that leads to bladder cancer and to predict patient response to anti-cancer treatment. In anticipation of starting this observational cancer program, we filed a patent that identifies and describes the Company’s proprietary 48 gene mRNA genomic technology plus a proprietary nutritional and supplements program called “My RNA for Life.”

 

The patient to be tested will swab the right and left buccal area (i.e., cheeks) with a soft flocked tip swab and place the swab in an envelope or tube. Targeted gene sequencing will be performed using a Thermo Fisher Scientific Gene Studio S5 System and Ion Chef CGX and PGX equipment. An Amplicon library for 48 target mRNA inflammatory cytokines was designed with a Thermo Fisher Scientific Ion-Ampliseq Designer. In March 2024, the Company filed PCT Patent Application PCT/US2023/074690, INFLAMMATORY DISEASE GENE PANEL, that covers the proprietary 48 gene mRNA panel that are useful for determining and developing treatments for chronic inflammatory diseases.; patent filed on the Company’s proprietary 48 mRNA microarray panel.

 

The buccal cell samples will be analyzed, and expression profiles will be obtained of inflammatory cytokines involved in apoptosis, cellular proliferation, cellular repair, wound healing, etc. ELISA determined levels of proteins, cytokines, and chemokines will be measured in the urine, saliva and blood as dictated by the protocol and chronic disease diagnosis.

 

The test orders, results, and health information for all patients will be maintained on a centralized HIPAA compliant network containing personal health records.”

 

All of the individual data points, 48 mRNA genes and approximately 10 Elisa based proteins such as TRAIL, 8oHdG, will be used to come up with an inflammatory index related to each specific chronic inflammatory disease being clinically studied. The number of data points as you can imagine is huge and machine learning AI will be needed to analyze the data points and come up with a computational score. For the bladder cancer study, we used”“L-genomic bladder cancer risk score”” Appropriate names will be used for different clinical disease studies. 

 

We believe that our mRNA inflammatory index has the potential to assess the presence of inflammation that can lead to early-stage bladder cancer and then monitor treatment cancer response to BCG immunotherapy. This genetic signature provides a potential framework to optimize early diagnosis and clinical management with appropriate therapy.

 

Additional Planned Research Studies

 

The following planned research studies for preeclamspsia and cardiovascular/heart disease will need to be submitted for Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval before initiation of the clinical study, all of which are subject to the Company securing additional funding. There is no guarantee that the Company will secure adequate funding to undertake the research studies. Under the IRB system, a clinical protocol and application is completed, and the study is submitted to an IRB committee for review. At a subsequent IRB member meeting this initial review is discussed and a vote for an action is taken. Additional adjustments to the study may be necessitated by IRB review until approved. There is no established timeline or guarantee for receiving IRB approval.  

 

All proposals submitted for either expedited or full review must contain four primary sections:

 

-Purpose of investigation.

 

-Procedures.

 

47

 

 

-Anticipated risk and potential benefits to participants.

 

-Steps taken to protect the participants.

 

The criteria for IRB approval of a human research study includes:

 

-Risks to subjects are minimized.

 

-Procedures are consistent with sound research design and do not unnecessarily expose subjects to risk.

 

-Study utilizes procedures already performed for diagnosis/treatment— when appropriate.

 

Preeclampsia.

 

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy specific, hypertensive disorder that is associated with high maternal morbidity and mortality. Placental dysfunction is a major contributor to adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preeclampsia.

 

The mRNA Inflammatory Index™ has the potential to create a genetic signature in patients with preeclampsia.

 

Primary study endpoint: early diagnosis of preeclamptic condition.

 

Secondary study endpoint: Substantiate mRNA genetic signature for preeclampsia.

 

The Company’s mRNA genetic signature may provide a therapeutic framework for the physician to obtain an earlier diagnosis of the preeclamptic condition which is not currently possible. Moreover, importantly, can allow earlier initiation of clinical management procedures which could be lifesaving.

 

Cardiovascular/Heart Diseases.

 

Cardiovascular diseases have a major societal impact due to morbidity, mortality, and the associated economic impacts. We intend to develop a paradigm of risk factors to manage cardiovascular disease(s) and conduct clinical studies to integrate data from cardiac genetic risk statistics and the mRNA Inflammatory Index™.

 

Our ability to move forward with any additional planned research studies will be dependent on our ability to raise funds from this and other offerings.

 

Primary study endpoint: early diagnosis of cardiac condition.

 

Secondary study endpoint: Substantiate mRNA genetic signature for specific cardiovascular conditions, including but not limited to heart attacks, vascular clotting disorders, hypertension, and myocarditis.

 

This genetic signature may provide a therapeutic framework for the physician to obtain an earlier diagnosis of the preeclamptic condition which is not currently possible. Moreover, importantly, can allow earlier initiation of clinical management procedures which could be lifesaving.

Intellectual Property

 

We strive to protect the intellectual property that we believe is important to our business, including seeking and maintaining patent protection intended to cover the composition of matter of our product candidates, their methods of use, their methods of production, related technologies and other inventions. In addition to patent protection, we also rely on trade secrets to protect aspects of our business that are not amenable to, or that we do not consider appropriate for, patent protection, including certain aspects of technical know-how.

 

Our commercial success depends in part upon our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other proprietary protection for commercially important technologies, inventions and know-how related to our business, defend and enforce our intellectual property rights, particularly our patent rights, preserve the confidentiality of our trade secrets and operate without infringing valid and enforceable intellectual property rights of others.

 

The patent positions for companies like us are generally uncertain and can involve complex legal, scientific and factual issues. In addition, the coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly reduced before a patent is issued, and its scope can be reinterpreted and even challenged after issuance. As a result, we cannot guarantee that any of our product candidates will be protectable or remain protected by enforceable patents. We cannot predict whether the patent applications we are currently pursuing will issue as patents in any particular jurisdiction or whether the claims of any issued patents will provide sufficient proprietary protection from competitors. Any patents that we hold may be challenged, circumvented or invalidated by third parties.

 

The Company’s discovery and development capabilities generate intellectual property which is owned and/or licensed from our direct efforts and our research partners.

 

We currently have filed three (3) pending patent applications in countries worldwide. These include composition and method patents.

Our Strategy

 

In terms of making assessments using RNA vs DNA, the flexibility of RNA is important. DNA holds the genetic blueprint for humans, but RNA actually carries out its instructions to create functional proteins. This means real time information is being translated into cellular language. Our objective is to capture a snapshot in real time of important inflammatory signaling biomarkers, called cytokines, present in specific cells and tissues.

 

The importance of RNA is that mRNA allows us to identify differentially expressed genes (“DEGs”) involved in the inflammatory process associated with development of chronic diseases. Our mRNA Inflammatory Index™ is intended to provide guidance as a predictive model, prior to onset of obvious manifestations of a disease. By utilizing machine learning AI and mRNA indices, we may discover hidden patterns and diagnostic biomarkers within different biologic systems and organs. We have chosen 48 mRNA genes that our technology then uses to assess snapshots, creating a diagnostic disease index that is calculated from the gene panels. The mRNA genes chosen were based on specific chronic inflammatory diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer of the colon, breast and bladder, preeclampsia and osteoarthritis. The number 48 was based on the ability of Thermo Fisher Scientific to sequence the cli\genes and place them on a microarray chip. Moreover, the uncovering of these hidden inflammatory patterns my allow anti-inflammatory nutritional interventions at an early stage before disease onset. We plan to combine measured levels of mRNA genes with machine learning AI to generate a statistical score,. the RevealiaTM Inflammatory Index (RII). The objective is to develop a personalized inflammatory genetic signature for a patient and their respective disease(s healthcare status at a particular moment in time, which serves to educate the customer and potentially provide a call to action to see their medical provider.  

 

49

 

 

With a portion of the proceeds of this Offering, we expect to analyze over 3,500  mRNA samples obtained from patients with various chronic inflammatory diseases and choose the most significant mRNA diagnostic genes. These samples were obtained from 40 clinical centers in the United States. Once we identify the key diagnostic genes related to specific diseases, we expect to develop a specific research plan that may include an internal lab or contracting with an outside lab, or a major pharmaceutical company to target the chosen genes. Our plan is to develop specific antibodies or inhibitor mRNA molecules (mRNAi) that bind to these genes and market them to biotech- and pharma-companies to treat chronic inflammatory diseases, such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Given the nascent stage of our development, we have yet to determine the precise strategies by which we would market our developed antibodies.

 

We believe that there are many medical technologies in current practices that are outdated; however, emerging technologies have recently started including nanomedicine and genome based personalized medicine to aid in care and treatment. Our technology is intended to enable physicians to employ new treatment modalities for their patients. Inflammation can be silent, present at one time, and undetected at others, similar to a light switch that can be turned on and off. The problem, however, is that it can stay on and cause both silent and visible diseases. We believe our technology provides an opportunity to integrate genetic technology into the diagnosis and treatment continuum of a patient.

 

We also aspire to provide more individualized care through nutritional supplementation, tailored to the genetic makeup of the individual. Our approach focuses on the body’s cellular communication and responses.

 

Our Analysis Method

 

To understand inflammation, we will analyze both acute and chronic inflammation. Acute inflammation is how the body fights infections and helps speed up the healing process, which, in this context, is beneficial since it protects the body. However, if inflammation becomes chronic, it can lead to major diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, stroke and others. With both of the foregoing forms of inflammation, the goal is to recognize that something is awry and requires attention.

 

Chronic diseases are long-term medical conditions that are progressive. Examples of chronic diseases include cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, arthritis and stroke, and others. The root causes of these diseases are usually lifestyle, diet, stress, physical activity and the environment. The common denominators for all of chronic diseases are inflammation, cellular damage, and apoptosis (i.e., programmed cellular death).

 

By using our RevealiaTM Inflammatory Index™ to match disease with its unique fingerprint mRNA, we believe treatment can be personally modified based on the patient’s individual genetic makeup. With the help of machine learning AI, our proprietary RevealiaTM Inflammatory Index™ enables the modulation of key inflammatory related biomarkers with the potential to coordinate medical therapy. It is anticipated that our proprietary mRNA Inflammatory Index will be able to measure intercellular communication, subsequently allowing us to discover hidden gene patterns related to inflammatory causation of specific diseases.

 

50

 

 

The patient to be tested will swab the right and left buccal area (i.e., cheeks) with a soft flocked tip swab and place the swab in an envelope or tube. Targeted gene sequencing will be performed using a Thermo Fisher Scientific Gene Studio S5 System and Ion Chef CGX and PGX equipment. Targeted gene sequencing for 48 mRNA genes contained on a microarray panel will be performed.

 

The buccal cell samples will be analyzed, and expression profiles will be obtained of mRNA-based inflammatory cytokines, as well as proteins, involved in apoptosis, cellular proliferation, cellular repair, wound healing, etc. ELISA determined levels of proteins, cytokines, and chemokine may, as needed, also be measured in the urine, saliva and blood as dictated by the protocol and chronic disease diagnosis.

 

The test orders, results, and health information for all patients will be maintained on a centralized HIPAA compliant network containing personal health records.

 

 

51

 

 

Our Objectives.

 

Establish diagnoses and show response to treatment;

 

Expand core AI facilities for better developed machine learning methods for genetic analysis.

 

Pre and post treatment snapshots allowing assessment of therapeutic response; and

 

Modulating inflammatory genetic biomarkers and potentially disease states with nutritional supplementation.

 

The Long-Term Strategy. We intend to provide patients with cutting edge genetic tools using proprietary mRNA genetic methodology. These diagnostic tools will provide both physicians and patients with an optimized proactive approach in preventing disease. Execution of this strategy will require us to implement adequate infrastructure to offer screening and supplement programs in the United States and Canada. We believe the future of the Company is poised for continued adoption of its technology and success in the coming years. With a strong team in place and a clear vision for the future, we are well positioned to continue our growth trajectory.

 

Our core catalysts and value drivers are the following:

 

RevealiaTM Proprietary Inflammatory Panel, for which patents have been filed.

 

Additional clinical research studies.

 

Apoptotic Index™ technology, measuring DNA damage, cell damage and death, and

 

mRNA Inflammatory Indices data bank; potential value to pharmaceutical companies and drug development programs.

 

Our Planned Marketing and Distribution

 

The Company is developing a new direct-to-consumer mail-order cheek-swab cancer screening product. The Company has collected and continually receives samples from its partners, to date approximately 3,350 cheek samples from 40 multi-center clinics in the United States. The Company to date contracted with its third party laboratory to perform mRNA analysis on approximately 250 samples specifically related to the diagnosis of breast, colon and bladder cancer. Adequate numbers of controls were also analyzed to obtain needed statistical significance for the specific mRNA genes in the various cancers

 

To achieve commercial success for our flagship cheek-swab cancer screening product we plan to successfully market it first within the United States and then develop a strategy for sales outside of the United States. We intend to outsource the manufacturing and fulfillment of this mail-order product. Our biggest hurdle will be cost-effectively reaching our target prospects and converting them into customers at scale. We intend to engage social media marketing such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to reach potential customers. We will also utilize ad campaigns based on the successful models of similar companies.

 

Our B2C approach will utilize various marketing strategies to engage the individual at home. We intend to create marketing partnerships with certain health influencers to promote our products. Our initial approach will be to work with health influencers on a commission basis which we believe will incentivize them to promote our products. We plan to offer the RevealiaTM Home Test Kit to individuals directly via online websites. With our B2C approach, we intend to offer a service in which a “Certified Genetic Counselor” (which will be someone who has been trained as a geneticist and has a MD, PhD or master’s degree) will provide a one-time call and an email to the patient after the patient has received their results.

 

Our ability to market and distribute our products will be dependent on our ability to raise capital through this Offering.

 

52

 

 

Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)

 

We intend to launch and market our testing kits as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT). A LDT is defined by the FDA as “a type of in vitro diagnostic test that is designed, manufactured and used within a single laboratory.” (Source: Laboratory Developed Tests, US Food and Drug Administration https://www.fda.gov/medical devices/in vitro diagnostics/laboratory developed tests Accessed 11/23/2022).

 

The classification of an LDT is partly dependent on its components. LDTs must use only in-house materials, general purpose reagents (GPRs), and analyte specific reagents (ASRs). GPRs are chemical reagents that might commonly be used in a laboratory, such as a pH buffer. ASRs are substances essential to the function of the diagnostic test and which act as the “active ingredient” in the test. ASRs might be “antibodies, both polyclonal and monoclonal, specific receptor proteins, ligands, nucleic acid sequences, and similar reagents which, through specific binding or chemical reactions with substances in a specimen, are intended for use in a diagnostic application for identification and quantification of an individual chemical substance or ligand in biological specimens” (21 CFR 864.4020). LDTs can use GPRs and ASRs manufactured by parties other than the laboratory developing the LDT – this does not affect the single laboratory requirement for the LDT.

 

The FDA requirements for a diagnostic test to be classed as LDT, and therefore subject to regulatory discretion, include single laboratory development and use, authorized physician instruction, and “CLIA” ( Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments program) certification and accreditation. First, the development and performance of the test must be conducted by a single laboratory. The test can no longer be classified as an LDT if any aspect of the LDT extends beyond a single laboratory, such as the test having been developed in a separate laboratory, used in multiple laboratories, or relying on third party manufacturers for critical components not deemed ASRs, and will instead be classed as an IVD. Second, the LDT must be performed because of an instruction from an authorized physician or healthcare professional. An LDT cannot be offered direct-to-consumer, and a physician ordering the test must be independent from the laboratory offering the LDT. Third, the laboratory must be appropriately certified under the CLIA program as able to “perform high-complexity testing.” The single laboratory requirement for test development and use refers to a single CLIA certification.

 

The FTC and the FDA share jurisdiction over the marketing of supplements as well as drugs, foods, devices and other health related products. FTC regulates the advertising of these products, including infomercials and other direct to consumer methods. The Company if not diligent in its accuracy of its representations to the market on its products could be at risk of a cease-and-desist order for marketing its products. This would result in a deleterious effect on the Company.

 

Our inflammatory assessment tool is manufactured, distributed and analyzed by a third party CLIA and CAP certified laboratory. The Laboratory has made large investments in equipment, human resources and capital in order to facilitate the Company’s business. If the Laboratory fails CLIA or CAP inspections the Company would cease to operate until a replacement Laboratory is established. The time and expense required by a Laboratory to come up to speed would be at least 12 months potentially causing the Company to cease to exist.

 

The CLIA require laboratories that perform clinical testing (including IVDs and LDTs) to be certified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) before accepting materials derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of any disease or the impairment of, or assessment of the health of human beings (42 CFR Part 493). CLIA requirements for certification depend on the complexity of tests conducted by the laboratory; LDTs are classed as high complexity and as such, the requirements include demonstration of the analytical validity of the test, quality assurance protocols, and presence of qualified personnel (42 CFR 493). The focus of the CLIA is to ensure accurate and reliable diagnostic test results. Laboratories must receive CLIA certification before releasing any test results and will be inspected by the CMS to ensure compliance with the requirements. All analytical validity assessments are conducted only within the laboratory because the test will be used only within the laboratory and therefore validation conducted outside the laboratory environment is not necessary or relevant. The validation is reviewed during its routine two-yearly survey.

 

53

 

 

There are no CLIA requirements for clinical validity, meaning there is no assessment of how well a test can diagnose or predict a clinical condition. Instead, the CMS evaluates whether the test successfully detects the substance it is designed to detect, for instance, assessing whether a test can accurately and reliably measure the presence of a biomarker associated with lung cancer rather than assessing whether the test can accurately diagnose lung cancer. Clinical validity requirements fall under FDA authority in the FD&C Act during the premarket review, something with which LDTs are not required to comply via enforcement discretion.5 LDTs are also not required to comply with the FDA’s quality system regulations. However, enforcement discretion toward LDTs does not equal exemption, and the FDA can chose to enforce full regulatory compliance of an LDT “when appropriate, such as when it is appropriate to address significant public health concerns.”6 In summary, the FDA focuses on ascertaining the safety and effectiveness of a diagnostic, and, if it is an IVD, the design and manufacture quality, whereas the CMS checks the scientific performance of the test.

 

Should any of our products be determined not to be LDT products, we would be forced to cease the sale of any such products, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. No prediction can be made in this regard, however. (See “Risk Factor—Risks Related to Our Business”).

 

According to the FDA, “LDT’s are important to the continued development of personalized medicine, so it is important that in vitro diagnostics are accurate so that patients and health care providers do not seek unnecessary treatments, delay needed treatments or become exposed to inappropriate therapies.

 

Some common examples of LDT’s include flow cytometry, next generation sequencing of DNA and RNA, liquid and gas chromatography and liquid biopsy. All of these are considered to be key tests in personalized/precision medicine.

 

We intend to perform LDT testing in a CLIA Certified, CAP Accredited, High Complexity Molecular Laboratory under the direction of a qualified Laboratory Director with fully licensed Medical Laboratory Scientists.

 

On May 6, 2024, the FDA issued a final regulating LDTs by amending regulations to explicitly provide that IVDs offered as LDTs fall under the FDCA and phasing out its general enforcement discretion approach for most LDTs. The rule makes it clear that the FDA will provide greater oversight of LDTs through a phaseout of its general enforcement discretion approach for LDTs over the course of four years, as well as targeted enforcement discretion policies for certain categories of IVDs manufactured by laboratories.  Pursuant to the phaseout policy for LDTs not grandfathered by the rule, following a four-year period, IVDs offered as LDTs generally will be expected to meet applicable requirements, including compliance with medical device reporting requirements and correction and removal reporting requirements by May 2025; compliance with registration, listing and labeling requirements by May 2026; compliance with quality system requirements (other than those in stage 1) by May 2027; and compliance with premarket review requirements for high-risk IVDs offered as LDTs, unless premarket submission has been received. Under the FDA’s phaseout schedule our current and proposed products will not be subject to premarket clearance until at a minimum November 6, 2027.

 

LDTs such as Revealia’s product that will enter the market within this four-year phase-out period may enter the market under enforcement discretion but are required to comply with the below timelines for enforcement of LDT regulatory requirements. This includes:

 

May 6, 2025 - compliance with medical device reporting, correction and removal reporting, and quality system requirements regarding complaint files

 

May 6, 2026 - compliance with general requirements not covered in other stages, including establishment registration and device listing requirements, labeling requirements, and investigational requirements

 

May 6, 2027 - compliance with quality system requirements including design controls, purchasing controls, acceptance activities, CAPA, and records requirements

 

November 6, 2027 - compliance with premarket review for high risk IVDs

 

May 6, 2028 - compliance with premarket review for moderate and low risk IVDs

 

We intend to position its product as a qualified LDT ordered by and with the meaningful involvement of a licensed healthcare provider. The Revealia product can enter the market immediately without requiring any premarket submission or clearance by the FDA. Revealia may then operate under the FDA’s current enforcement discretion for LDTs while preparing to comply with all relevant regulatory requirements according to the LDT enforcement discretion phase out timeline described above.

 

Government Regulation

 

We will be subject to various healthcare related laws regulating fraud and abuse, pricing and sales and marketing practices and the privacy and security of health information, including the United States federal regulations described below. Many states, foreign countries and supranational bodies have also adopted laws and regulations similar to, and in some cases more stringent than, the federal regulations discussed above and below. Under the FDA’s phaseout schedule our current and proposed products will not be subject to premarket clearance until at a minimum November 6, 2027.

Regulation of Our Predictive Laboratory Developed Tests (LDT Tests)

 

CLIA and CMS for Diagnostics

 

The CMS, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, regulates all clinical laboratory testing (except research) performed on humans in the United States through the CLIA. All clinical laboratories that perform clinical lab services on human specimens for the purpose of providing information on the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of disease must receive CLIA certification. Laboratories must obtain CLIA certification and demonstrate compliance with CLIA requirements as confirmed by an inspection by CMS. We received our initial CLIA certification in 2018. Our laboratory was additionally certified by CAP, in 2021, an organization recognized by CMS as a third-party reviewer of clinical laboratories. Several states, including, among others, New York and California, require licensure of out-of-state labs that receive specimens from the state and compliance with the state’s individual laboratory regulations.

 

If a testing laboratory is out of compliance with CLIA requirements, it may be subject to sanctions such as suspension, limitation or revocation of our CLIA certificate, as well as directed plan of correction, state on-site monitoring, civil money penalties, civil injunctive suit or criminal penalties. Therefore, we plan to maintain CLIA compliance and certification to be eligible to bill for services provided to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. If a diagnostic testing company like us were to be found out of compliance with CLIA program requirements and subjected to sanction, its business could be harmed. Failure to comply with state licensure laws, if applicable, could lead to additional sanctions imposed by state licensing authorities.

 

FDA Regulation of Diagnostics

 

On May 6, 2024, the FDA issued a final ruling regulating LDTs by amending regulations to explicitly provide that IVDs offered as LDTs fall under the FDCA and phasing out its general enforcement discretion approach for most LDTs. The rule makes it clear that the FDA will provide greater oversight of LDTs through a phaseout of its general enforcement discretion approach for LDTs over the course of four years, as well as targeted enforcement discretion policies for certain categories of IVDs manufactured by laboratories.  Pursuant to the phaseout policy for LDTs not grandfathered by the rule, following a four-year period, IVDs offered as LDTs generally will be expected to meet applicable requirements, including compliance with medical device reporting requirements and correction and removal reporting requirements by May 2025; compliance with registration, listing and labeling requirements by May 2026; compliance with quality system requirements (other than those in stage 1) by May 2027; and compliance with premarket review requirements for high-risk IVDs offered as LDTs, unless premarket submission has been received. Under the FDA’s phaseout schedule our current and proposed products will not be subject to premarket clearance until at a minimum November 6, 2027. There are currently several legal challenges to the final ruling and its long term enforcement may or may not occur. We intend to comply with the final ruling until such time that the current regulatory environment changes.

 

Pricing and Reimbursement of Our Therapeutic Product Candidates and PMP-Diagnostic Testing

 

Pricing and reimbursement of a therapeutic product depend on multiple factors, including the clinical profile created through the research and development program or the breadth of its regulatory approval as described in the prescribing information. Uncertainty about the clinical profile or any of these factors translate into uncertainly about the coverage and reimbursement status of any future Notable products that may be sold. Sales of any Notable products (or revenues through selling the product itself) will depend, in part, on the extent to which the costs of the products will be covered by third-party payors, including government health programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, commercial health insurers, managed care organizations or pharmaceutical companies. The process for determining whether a third-party payor will provide coverage for a test sometimes is separate from the process for setting the price of a drug product or for establishing the reimbursement rate that a payor will pay for the drug product. Third-party payors may limit coverage to specific testing products on an approved list, which might not include all of the tests available for a particular indication.

 

In order to obtain coverage and reimbursement for any product, we may need to conduct robust pharmacoeconomic studies in order to demonstrate the medical necessity and cost-effectiveness of the therapeutic product or diagnostic test. Even with successful studies, our products may not be considered medically necessary or cost-effective by payers. A third-party payor’s decision to provide coverage for a test does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Further, one payor’s determination to provide coverage for a product does not assure that other payors will also provide coverage, and adequate reimbursement, for the product. Third-party reimbursement may not be sufficient to enable us to maintain price levels high enough to realize an appropriate return on our investment in product development.

 

The containment of healthcare costs has become a priority of federal, state and foreign governments, and the prices of tests and drugs have been a focus in this effort. Third-party payors are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services, examining the medical necessity and reviewing the cost-effectiveness of testing products, drug products and medical services and questioning safety and efficacy. If these third-party payors do not consider our products to be cost-effective compared to other available products or treatments, they may not cover our products or, if they do, the level of payment may not be sufficient to allow us to sell our products at a profit. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreign governments have shown significant interest in implementing cost-containment programs to limit the growth of government-paid healthcare costs, including price controls and restrictions on reimbursement. Adoption of such controls and measures, and tightening of restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existing controls and measures, could limit payments for our diagnostic products or treatments that require use of our testing products and could adversely affect our net revenue and results.

 

55

 

 

Pricing and reimbursement schemes vary widely from country to country. Some countries may require the completion of additional studies that compare the cost-effectiveness of a particular test to currently available tests. The downward pressure on healthcare costs in general, particularly prescription drugs and testing products, has become intense. As a result, increasingly high barriers are being erected to the entry of new products. In addition, in some countries, cross-border imports from low-priced markets exert competitive pressure that may reduce pricing within a country. Any country that has price controls or reimbursement limitations for testing products may not allow favorable reimbursement and pricing arrangements for any of our products.

 

Coverage policies, third-party reimbursement rates and pricing regulation may change at any time.

 

Other Healthcare Laws

 

Manufacturing, sales, promotion and other activities following product approval are also subject to regulation by numerous regulatory authorities in the U.S. in addition to the FDA, including CMS, the HHS Office of Inspector General and HHS Office for Civil Rights, other divisions of the HHS and the Department of Justice.

 

Healthcare providers, physicians, and third-party payors will play a primary role in the recommendation and prescription of any products for which we obtain marketing approval. Our current and future arrangements with third-party payors, healthcare providers and physicians may expose us to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations that may constrain the business or financial arrangements and relationships through which we market, sell and distribute therapeutic and diagnostic products. In the U.S., these laws include, without limitation, state and federal anti-kickback, false claims, physician transparency, and patient data privacy and security laws and regulations, including but not limited to those described below.

 

The U.S. federal Anti-Kickback Statute (“AKS”), prohibits, among other things, any person or entity from knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting, receiving or providing any remuneration, directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, to induce or in return for purchasing, leasing, ordering or arranging for or recommending the purchase, lease or order of any good, facility, item or service reimbursable, in whole or in part, under Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs. The term “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value. The AKS has been interpreted to apply to arrangements between pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers on the one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers and beneficiaries on the other hand. Although there are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make the conduct per se illegal under the AKS. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on a cumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of an arrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the statute has been violated. In addition, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. Moreover, a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the AKS constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal civil False Claims Act. On November 20, 2020, the Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) finalized further modifications to the AKS. Under the final rule, OIG added safe harbor protections under the AKS for certain coordinated care and value-based arrangements among clinicians, providers, and others. The final rule (with some exceptions) became effective January 19, 2021. The industry continues to evaluate what effect, if any, this rule will have.

 

In addition, under a federal law directed at “self-referral,” commonly known as the “Stark Law,” there are prohibitions, with certain exceptions, on referrals for certain designated health services, including laboratory services, that are covered by the Medicare and Medicaid programs by physicians who personally, or through a family member, have an investment or ownership interest in, or a compensation arrangement with, an entity performing the tests. The prohibition also extends to payment for any testing referred in violation of the Stark Law. A person who engages in a scheme to circumvent the Stark Law’s referral prohibition may be fined up to $100,000 for each such arrangement or scheme. In addition, any person who presents or causes to be presented a claim to the Medicare or Medicaid programs in violation of the Stark Law is subject to civil monetary penalties of up to $15,000 per bill submission, an assessment of up to three times the amount claimed and possible exclusion from participation in federal governmental payor programs. Bills submitted in violation of the Stark Law may not be paid by Medicare or Medicaid, and any person collecting any amounts with respect to any such prohibited bill is obligated to refund such amounts. Many states have comparable laws that are not limited to Medicare and Medicaid referrals.

 

56

 

 

Furthermore, we could be held liable under the federal False Claims Act, which imposes civil penalties, including through civil whistleblower or qui tam actions, against individuals or entities (including manufacturers) for, among other things, knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented to federal programs (including Medicare and Medicaid) claims for items or services that are false or fraudulent, claims for items or services not provided as claimed, or claims for medically unnecessary items or services. This could apply even if we are not submitting claims directly to payors as would be the case with drug products. The government may deem manufacturers of such products to have “caused” the submission of false or fraudulent claims by, for example, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers or promoting a product off-label. Several biopharmaceutical, medical device and other healthcare companies have been prosecuted under federal false claims and civil monetary penalty laws for, among other things, allegedly providing free product to customers with the expectation that the customers would bill federal programs for the product. Other companies have been prosecuted for causing false claims to be submitted because of the companies’ marketing of products for unapproved (e.g., or off-label), and thus non-covered, uses. In addition, the civil monetary penalties statute imposes penalties against any person who is determined to have presented or caused to be presented a claim to a federal health program that the person knows or should know is for an item or service that was not provided as claimed or is false or fraudulent.

 

Our future marketing and activities relating to the reporting of wholesaler or estimated retail prices for our products, if approved, the reporting of prices used to calculate Medicaid rebate information and other information affecting federal, state and third-party reimbursement for our products, and the sale and marketing of our product candidates, are subject to scrutiny under these laws.

 

The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among other actions, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud or to obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations or promises, any money or property owned by, or under the control or custody of, any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payors, knowingly and willfully embezzling or stealing from a healthcare benefit program, willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. Similar to the AKS, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.

 

In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and certain other healthcare providers. The ACA imposed, among other things, new annual reporting requirements through the Physician Payments Sunshine Act for covered manufacturers for certain payments and “transfers of value” provided to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors) and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Effective January 1, 2022, these reporting obligations will extend to include transfers of value made to certain non-physician providers such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Failure to submit timely, accurately and completely the required information for all payments, transfers of value and ownership or investment interests may result in civil monetary penalties. Covered manufacturers must submit reports by the 90th day of each subsequent calendar year and the reported information is publicly made available on a searchable website.

 

We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA, as amended by HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, including the Final HIPAA Omnibus Rule published on January 25, 2013, impose specified requirements relating to the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information held by covered entities and their business associates. Among other things, HITECH made HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to “business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information in connection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity, although it is unclear that we would be considered a “business associate” in the normal course of our business. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against covered entities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce the federal HIPAA laws and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, state laws govern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same requirements, thus complicating compliance efforts. See “European Data Collection” below for a discussion of data privacy and security enactments of the EU.

 

For example, California’s Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), went into effect in January 2020, and the California Attorney General has since promulgated final regulations. The law provides broad rights to California consumers with respect to the collection and use of their personal information and imposes data protection obligations on certain businesses. While the CCPA does not apply to protected health information that is subject to HIPAA or personal information collected, used or disclosed in research, as defined by federal law, the CCPA may still affect our business activities. Moreover, on November 3, 2020, California voters passed the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), under a ballot initiative. The CPRA amends the existing CCPA to include new consumer rights and additional data protection obligations. The new data protection requirements under the CPRA apply to information collected on or after January 1, 2022. With the promulgation of final regulations, the California State Attorney General has commenced enforcement actions against CCPA violators. The uncertainty surrounding the implementation of CCPA and the amendments under the CPRA exemplifies the vulnerability of our business to the evolving regulatory environment related to personal data and protected health information. The California law further expands the need for privacy and process enhancements and commitment of resources in support of compliance. Moreover, more than ten states have proposed bills in the last year with provisions similar to the CCPA and CPRA. It is likely that other states will pass laws similar to the CCPA and the CPRA in the near future and a federal data protection law may also be on the horizon.

Similar state and foreign fraud and abuse laws and regulations, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws, may apply to sales or marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services. Such laws are generally broad and are enforced by various state agencies and private actions. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulations that may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs. Some state laws require pharmaceutical companies to comply with the pharmaceutical industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant federal government compliance guidance, and require drug manufacturers to report information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians and other healthcare providers, marketing expenditures or drug pricing.

 

In order to sell products, we must also comply with state laws, including those that require the registration of manufacturers and wholesale distributors of drug and biological products. These include, in certain states, manufacturers and distributors who ship products into the state even if such manufacturers or distributors have no place of business within the state. Some states also impose requirements on manufacturers and distributors to establish the pedigree of product in the chain of distribution, including some states that require manufacturers and others to adopt new technology capable of tracking and tracing product as it moves through the distribution chain. Several states have enacted legislation requiring pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to establish marketing compliance programs, file periodic reports with the state, make periodic public disclosures on sales, marketing, pricing, clinical trials and other activities, and/or register their sales representatives, as well as to prohibit pharmacies and other healthcare entities from providing certain physician prescribing data to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for use in sales and marketing, and to prohibit certain other sales and marketing practices. All of our activities are potentially subject to federal and state consumer protection and unfair competition laws.

 

The scope and enforcement of each of these laws is uncertain and subject to rapid change in the current environment of healthcare reform, especially in light of the lack of applicable precedent and regulations. Federal and state enforcement bodies have recently increased their scrutiny of interactions between healthcare companies and healthcare providers, which has led to a number of investigations, prosecutions, convictions and settlements in the healthcare industry. It is possible that governmental authorities will conclude that our business practices may not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law involving applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of these laws or any other governmental regulations that may apply to us, the company may be subject to significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, imprisonment, exclusion of drugs from government funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, as well as additional reporting obligations and oversight if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or other agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with these laws, any of which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and financial results. If any of the physicians or other healthcare providers or entities with whom we expect to do business is found to be not in compliance with applicable laws, they may be subject to significant criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including exclusions from government funded healthcare programs. Ensuring business arrangements comply with applicable healthcare laws, as well as responding to possible investigations by government authorities, can be time- and resource consuming and can divert a company’s attention from the business.

 

European Data Collection

 

The collection and use of personal health data in or arising from the EU are governed by the provisions of the Data Protection Directive, and the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). This directive imposes several requirements relating to the consent of the individuals to whom the personal data relates, the information provided to the individuals, notification of data processing obligations to the competent national data protection authorities and the security and confidentiality of the personal data. The Data Protection Directive and GDPR also impose strict rules on the transfer of personal data out of the EU, to the U.S. Failure to comply with the requirements of the Data Protection Directive, the GDPR and the related national data protection laws of the EU Member States may result in fines and other administrative penalties. The GDPR introduces new data protection requirements in the EU and substantial fines for breaches of the data protection rules. The GDPR regulations may impose additional responsibility and liability in relation to personal data that we process, including in respect of clinical trials, and we may be required to put in place additional mechanisms ensuring compliance with the new data protection rules. This may be onerous and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

58

 

 

Other Regulatory Requirements

 

Our operations use small amounts of hazardous materials in research and development and generate regulated medical waste in the normal course of performing its predictive diagnostic tests. This subjects us to a variety of federal, state and local environmental and safety laws and regulations. Some of the regulations under the current regulatory structure provide for strict liability, holding a party potentially liable without regard to fault or negligence. We could be held liable for damages and fines as a result of our, or others’, business operations should contamination of the environment or individual exposure to hazardous substances occur. We cannot predict how changes in laws or development of new regulations will affect its business operations or the cost of compliance.

 

Current and Future Legislation

 

In the U.S. and other jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory changes and proposed changes regarding the healthcare system that could prevent or delay marketing approval of our product candidates, restrict or regulate post-approval activities and affect our ability to profitably sell any product candidates. We expect that current laws, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorous coverage criteria and additional downward pressure on the price that we, or any collaborators, may receive.

 

Manufacturing and Distribution

 

We will utilize third party logistics (“3PL”) companies who specialize in the distribution of DTC medical devices to assemble and distribute our Revealia Test Kits. The commercially available collection media in our kits are sourced from COPAN Diagnostics, Inc., and will be delivered to our 3PL partner(s), along with our proprietary packaging for kit assembly and distribution. The 3PL will then distribute the kits to customers at the time of order.

 

We intend use Grace Health Technology Inc. as our Clinical Research Organization (“CRO”) and as our laboratory partner to process the specimens sent back by our customers. Grace Health Technology contracts with Designer Genomics International, Inc. for the performance of certain CRO-related functions (our Company has no contractual relationship with Designer Genomics International). The agreement with Grace Health Technology was for an initial term ending in July 2023, that renewed automatically until July of 2024. The Company is in the process of renegotiating its agreements with Grace Health Technology, Inc.

 

Competitive Environment

 

We believe there are few existing comparable competitors with an mRNA focus. We feel the closest competitors are companies that engage in direct-to-consumer DNA genetic testing, such as 23andME Inc., Alpha Laboratories Ltd., Centrillion Technology Holding Ltd., and others. According to Cision PR Newswire, the global direct to consumer Genetic Testing Market is positioned to grow by $1.38 billion USD through 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 16.73%. We believe that advances in next generation genetic sequencing will be one of the key driving forces in the market through 2025. These trends are expected to have a major impact as companies expand into this new territory, which leads us to believe that this market will be fragmented.

 

We believe that a primary difference between us and any of the comparable companies described above is that we are focused on mRNA, while they focus on DNA. The mRNA changes day by day while DNA is permanent. That means these companies can suggest hereditary health concerns based on DNA indexes but cannot provide the detailed specificity that a mRNA index can provide. We believe this differentiates us from others, but also allows us to tap into a market that is not very saturated at this point. Since mRNA is everchanging, we will not have the single-service limitation that models that employ DNA-based testing have.

 

We believe the direct sales segment will contribute the largest share of the market. Direct sales channels can give consumers access to their personal genetic and health information, regardless of the time and place. We understand consumers purchase genetic testing services directly based on quick turnaround time for test results and accessibility to the tests themselves. This has fueled the demand for online orders of genetic tests, thus boosting revenue growth in the direct sales segment.

 

We believe that we have little direct competition, due to our unique proposition of solely using mRNA patent-pending indices for screening health.

 

Additionally, we believe our products and services could be used by many patients if supply and logistics were of no issue. Our initial target patient profile is an individual over the age of 35 that is health conscious, demonstrates buying habits of a healthy lifestyle (e.g., gym memberships, use of dietary supplements), and earns more than the mean U.S. yearly income.

 

59

 

 

Properties

 

We own no real property interest. The Company leases a small office that is sufficient for our current operations at a monthly rental of $100.  We intend to lease additional office space as our needs require.

 

Employees

 

Currently, we have three executive officers who perform all required administrative functions, in addition to their respective executive officer activities. We have three total employees and our CEO is the sole full-time employee. Further, we retain persons who perform required professional services on our behalf as consultants.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. We may, however, in the ordinary course of business face various claims brought by third parties, and we may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert our rights, including intellectual property rights as well as claims relating to employment matters and the safety or efficacy of our products. Any of these claims could subject us to costly litigation. If this were to happen, the payment of any such awards could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, any such claims, whether or not successful, could damage our reputation and business.

 

Background and Corporate Information

  

The Company was originally organized as a Kentucky corporation on February 11, 1988, as Ludwig Enterprises, Inc. On February 8, 2006, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Ludwig Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation. On March 28, 2006, Ludwig Enterprises, Inc., the Kentucky corporation, merged with and into Ludwig Enterprises, Inc., the Nevada corporation, with the Company, Ludwig Enterprises, Inc., the Nevada corporation, being the surviving entity.

 

During the history of the Company, it has, variously, been involved in the radio paging industry and the broadcasting industry as it relates to “specialized programming” utilizing surplus spectra present on existing FCC-licensed spectrum. In April 2019, the Company acquired Direct Mortgage Investors, Inc. (“DMI”), a residential mortgage broker. However, due to ongoing disputes between the former owner of DMI and his then-wife, this acquisition was rescinded in September 2021, and the parties returned to status quo ante.  

 

Shortly after the DMI rescission transaction, our management became aware of the potential an mRNA-based business model could provide our Company and investigated the opportunity for our Company. It was in late 2021 that our mRNA-based business plan gained clarity, after our then-management had learned of its specific potential. At that time, our then-management determined to take initial steps towards achieving our current objectives. Beginning in early 2022, the Company has actively pursued our business plan, putting into action our strategies, including the conceiving and development of our first products.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 8950 SW 74th Ct, Ste 2201-A44, Miami, FL 33156. Our phone number is (786) 363-0166. Our corporate website is located at www.ludwigent.com. Information on our website is not part of this prospectus.

Summary of the Plan

 

Authorized Shares  

 

There are currently 30,000,000 shares of our Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to the Plan. Shares of Common Stock issued under our Plan may be authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of our Common Stock.  If any Award granted under this Plan is canceled, terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason, Shares subject to such Award shall be again available for the grant of an Award under the Plan. Additionally, in the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, Stock dividend, split-up, Share combination, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares, an adjustment shall be made in the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.

 

Administration

 

Our Board has the authority to administer our Plan and may issue either unrestricted or restricted stock grants. Subject to the terms of our Plan, the Board has the authority to determine the terms of awards, including recipients, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each stock award, the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock, the vesting schedule applicable to the awards, together with any vesting acceleration, and the terms and conditions of the award agreements for use under the Plan. The Committee has the power to modify outstanding awards under the Plan, subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law.

  

Restricted Stock

 

The terms and conditions of any restricted stock awards granted to a participant will be set forth in an award agreement and, subject to the provisions in the Plan, will be determined by the Committee. Under a restricted stock award, we issue shares of our Common Stock to the recipient of the award, subject to vesting conditions and transfer restrictions that lapse over time or upon achievement of performance conditions. The Committee will determine the vesting schedule and performance objectives, if any, applicable to each restricted stock award. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the recipient may vote and receive dividends on shares of restricted stock issued under our Plan.

  

Merger, Consolidation or Asset Sale

 

If the Company is merged or consolidated with another entity or sells or otherwise disposes of substantially all of its assets to another company while awards or options remain outstanding under the Plan, unless provisions are made in connection with such transaction for the continuance of the Plan and/or the assumption or substitution of such awards or options with new options or stock awards covering the stock of the successor company, or parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices, then all outstanding options and stock awards which have not been continued, assumed or for which a substituted award has not been granted shall, whether or not vested or then exercisable, unless otherwise specified in the relevant agreements, terminate immediately as of the effective date of any such merger, consolidation or sale.

 

68

 

 

Change in Capitalization

 

If the Company shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Common Stock or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, without receiving consideration therefore in money, services or property, then awards amounts, type, limitations, and other relevant consideration shall be appropriately and proportionately adjusted. The Committee shall make such adjustments, and its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive.

 

Plan Termination

 

No Awards may be issued under the Plan after December 31, 2029.

 

Director Compensation

 

We have made no payments to our directors in consideration of their services to date, and there is currently no agreement or arrangement to pay any of our directors for their service as directors in the future.

 

Compensation Recovery and Clawback Policy

 

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), in the event of misconduct that results in a financial restatement that would have reduced a previously paid incentive amount, we can recoup those improper payments from our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Science Officer  (if any). The SEC also recently adopted rules which direct national stock exchanges to require listed companies to implement policies intended to recoup bonuses paid to executives if the company is found to have misstated its financial results.

 

Additionally, on December 31, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”), to comply with the final clawback rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 10D and Rule 10D-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 10D-1”). The Clawback Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive compensation from current and former officers of the Company as defined in Rule 10D-1 (“Covered Officers”) in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement as specified in the Clawback Policy. Under the Clawback Policy, the Board may recoup from the Covered Officers erroneously awarded incentive compensation received within a lookback period of the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement. The Clawback Policy is effective as of December 31, 2024.

 

Company Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information

 

We do not have a policy on the timing of awards of options in relation to the disclosure by us of material nonpublic information. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, no Named Executive Officer was awarded stock options, and we did not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Policy for approval of related-person transactions

 

Prior to this Offering, we have not had a formal policy regarding approval of transactions with related persons. In connection with this Offering, our Board of Directors has adopted a related-person transaction policy that sets forth our procedures for the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification for the review of any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which we are a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and one of our executive officers, directors, director nominees or each person whom we know to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (a “5% shareholder”) (or their immediate family members), each of whom we refer to as a “related person,” has a direct or indirect material interest.

 

If a related person proposes to enter into such a transaction, arrangement or relationship, which we refer to as a “related-person transaction,” the related person must report the proposed related-person transaction to our outside general counsel. The policy calls for the proposed related-person transaction to be reviewed by and if deemed appropriate approved by, the audit committee of our board of directors. Whenever practicable, the reporting, review and approval will occur prior to entry into the transaction. If advance review and approval is not practicable, the audit committee will review and, in its discretion, may ratify the related-person transaction. The policy also permits the chair of the audit committee to review, and if deemed appropriate approve, proposed related-person transactions that arise between audit committee meetings, subject to ratification by the audit committee at its next meeting. Any related-person transactions that are ongoing in nature will be reviewed annually.

 

A related-person transaction reviewed under the policy will be considered approved or ratified if it is authorized by the audit committee after full disclosure of the related person’s interest in the transaction. As appropriate for the circumstances, the committee will review and consider:

 

the related person’s interest in the related-person transaction;

 

the approximate dollar amount involved in the related-person transaction;

 

the approximate dollar amount of the related person’s interest in the transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss;

 

whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of our business;

 

whether the terms of the transaction are no less favorable to us than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party;

 

the purpose of, and the potential benefits to us of, the related-person transaction; and

 

any other information regarding the related-person transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

 

The audit committee may approve or ratify the transaction only if the audit committee determines that, under all of the circumstances, the transaction is not inconsistent with our best interests. The audit committee may impose any conditions on the related-person transaction that it deems appropriate.

 

The policy provides that transactions involving compensation of executive officers shall be reviewed and approved by the compensation committee of our board of directors in the manner specified in its charter.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

General

 

The following description summarizes the most important terms of our capital stock, as they will be in effect upon the closing of this Offering. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of the matters set forth in this “Description of Securities,” you should refer to our Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, to be effective immediately prior to the closing of this Offering, and the registration rights agreements, each of which will be included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and to the applicable provisions of Nevada law.

 

Immediately prior to the closing of this Offering, and without giving effect to the above-mentioned reverse stock split our authorized capital stock consists of (a) 1,250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share; and (b) 7,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share, all of which have been designated Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, and without giving effect to the above-mentioned (a) reverse stock split. (b) conversion of our Convertible Preferred stock there were 152,408,220 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding held by approximately 28 holders of record; and 7,000,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding held by three (3) holders of record.

 

Common Stock

 

General. The holders of our Common Stock currently have (a) equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors; (b) are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company; (c) do not have preemptive, subscriptive or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights applicable thereto; and (d) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which shareholders may vote. Our bylaws provide that, at all meetings of the shareholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. On all other matters, except as otherwise required by Nevada law or our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the shareholders shall be necessary to authorize any corporate action to be taken by vote of the shareholders.

 

Non-cumulative Voting. Holders of shares of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of a plurality of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.

 

Pre-emptive Rights. As of the date of this prospectus, no holder of any shares of our capital stock has pre-emptive or preferential rights to acquire or subscribe for any unissued shares of any class of our capital stock not otherwise disclosed herein.

 

On December 15, 2024, our Board authorized, a proposal authorizing our Board to effect a reverse split of our outstanding Common Stock at a specific ratio within a range from one-for-[●] to one-for-[●], and also granted authorization to our Board to determine, in its sole discretion, the specific ratio within that range and timing of such reverse stock split, and the filing of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to effect such reverse stock split. We expect the reverse stock split to take effect prior to the consummation of this Offering. The purpose of the reverse stock split is to allow us to meet the stock price threshold of the listing requirements of the [●]. The Company has not yet decided on the specific ratio of the reverse stock split and as such, there has not been any adjustments tor options and per share information The reverse stock split remains subject to approval of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities and by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). There is no guarantee that the Company will receive the requisite stockholder approval or be successful in achieving FINRA’s approval or that [●] will approve our listing application. See “Description of Securities” and “Risks Related to This Offering and The Reverse Stock Split” for additional information regarding the reverse stock split and other matters related to our Common Stock. We expect the reverse stock split to take effect prior to the consummation of this Offering.

Preferred Stock

 

After giving effect to the conversion upon effectiveness of this Offering of 7,000,000 outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into 700,000,000 shares of Common Stock (without giving effect to the reverse stock split), we will have ________________ authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

 

Our Board may, without further action by our shareholders, from time to time, direct the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in series and may, at the time of issuance, determine the designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative participating, optional or special rights as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the Common Stock. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of our Common Stock. Holders of shares of preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of our liquidation before any payment is made to the holders of shares of our Common Stock. Under certain circumstances, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities or the removal of incumbent management. Upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, our Board, without shareholder approval, may issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of shares of our Common Stock and the market value of our Common Stock.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Prior to this Offering, there has been a limited public market for our Common Stock and a liquid trading market for our Common Stock may not develop or be sustained after this Offering. Future sales of our Common Stock in the public market after this Offering, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the prevailing market price for our Common Stock to fall or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future. Future sales of our Common Stock in the public market either before (to the extent permitted) or after restrictions lapse, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Common Stock at such time and our ability to raise equity capital at a time and price we deem appropriate.

 

Sale of restricted shares

  

All of the shares of Common Stock to be sold in this Offering, and any shares sold upon exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, will be freely tradable in the public market without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless the shares are held by any of our “affiliates” as such term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act. All remaining shares of Common Stock held by existing shareholders immediately prior to the consummation of this Offering will be “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144. These restricted securities were issued and sold by us in private transactions and are eligible for public sale only if registered under the Securities Act or if they qualified for an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, including the exemptions provided by Rule 144 or Rule 701.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, once we have been subject to the public company reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, for at least 90 days, a person (or persons whose shares are required to be aggregated) who is not deemed to have been one of our “affiliates” for purposes of Rule 144 at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our “affiliates,” is entitled to sell those shares in the public market (subject to the lock-up agreement referred to below, if applicable) without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitations or notice provisions of Rule 144, but subject to compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144. Rule 144(a)(1) defines an “affiliate” of an issuing company as a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such issuer. Directors, officers and holders of ten percent or more of our voting securities (including securities which are issuable within the next 60 days) are deemed to be affiliates of the issuing company. If such a person has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than “affiliates,” then such person is entitled to sell such shares in the public market without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144 (subject to the lock-up agreement referred to below, if applicable). In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, once we have been subject to the public company reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, our “affiliates,” as defined in Rule 144, who have beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our “affiliates,” are entitled to sell in the public market, upon expiration of any applicable lock-up agreements and within any three-month period, a number of those shares of our Common Stock that does not exceed the greater of:

 

1% of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock immediately after this Offering, assuming the sale of all of the; or Common Stock in this Offering; or

 

the average weekly trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

 

Such sales under Rule 144 by our “affiliates” or persons selling shares on behalf of our “affiliates” are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

The piggyback registration rights provided will a one-time demand registration right and unlimited piggyback rights consistent with FINRA Rule 5110). We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the warrants other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrant exercise price or underlying shares will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Common Stock at a price below the warrant exercise price. 

 

Determination of Offering Price

 

The offering price has been negotiated between the Underwriter and us. In determining the offering price of the securities, the following factors were considered:

 

prevailing market conditions;

 

our historical performance and capital structure;

 

estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects;

 

an overall assessment of our management; and

 

the consideration of these factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses.

 

Listing

 

Our shares of Common Stock are traded on the OTC Pink under the symbol “LUDG”. We intend to apply for our Common Stock to be listed on [      ] under the symbol “[●]”. The consummation of this Offering is contingent upon the approval of our listing on the [●], however, it is unlikely we would meet the initial listing standards of the unless this Offering is consummated. If our listing application is not approved by [●], we will not consummate the Offering and will terminate this Offering.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

We have agreed that without the approval of the Representative, not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any of our securities for a period of three months following the closing of this Offering. Each of our officers, directors and holders of 5% of more of our outstanding Common Stock as of the effective date of this prospectus (and all holders of securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock) have agreed to enter into customary “lock-up” agreements in favor of ThinkEquity pursuant to which such persons and entities have agreed, for a period of six months from the effective date of this prospectus in the case of our officers and directors and three months in the case of our other holders of 5% or greater shareholders of our outstanding Common Stock, that they shall neither offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company without ThinkEquity’s prior written consent, including the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of currently outstanding options approved by ThinkEquity.

 

Additionally, we agreed that for a period of 12 months after this Offering, we will not directly or indirectly offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of our shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock in any “at-the-market”, continuous equity or variable rate transaction, without the prior consent of ThinkEquity.

 

ThinkEquity may in its sole discretion and at any time without notice release some or all of the shares subject to lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the representative will consider, among other factors, the security holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

Right of First Refusal

 

We have granted the Representative a right of first refusal, for a period of 24 months from the commencement of sales of this Offering, to act as sole investment banker, back-runner and/or sole placement agent for any and all future public or private equity offering, including all equity-linked or debt offerings during such twenty-four (24) month period of the Company, or any successor to or any subsidiary of the Company. We have agreed not to offer to retain any entity or person in connection with any such offering on terms more favorable than terms on which we offer to retain the Representative. Such offer shall be made in writing in order to be effective. The Representative shall notify us within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the written offer contemplated above as to whether it agrees to accept such retention. If the Representative should decline such retention, we shall have no further obligations to the Representative with respect to the Offering for which it has offered to retain the Representative.

 

Tail

 

We have also agreed to pay the Representative a tail fee equal to the cash compensation payable to the Representative in this Offering, if any investor, who was contacted or introduced to us by the Representative following the termination or expiration of the engagement by the Company prior to Closing, provides us with capital in any public or private equity offering or other financing or capital raising transaction during the six (6) month period following expiration or termination of our engagement of the Representative, provided, however, that we have the right to terminate its engagement of the underwriter for cause in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(5) (B)(i), which termination for cause eliminates the Company’s obligations with respect to the tail.

 

Indemnification

 

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.

 

Other Relationships

 

Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

  

Price Stabilization, Short Positions, and Penalty Bids

 

In connection with this Offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our securities. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with this Offering by selling more securities than are set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. This creates a short position in our securities for its own account. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of securities over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of securities that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of securities involved is greater than the number of shares of Common Stock in the over-allotment option. To close out a short position, the underwriters may elect to exercise all or part of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also elect to stabilize the price of our securities or reduce any short position by bidding for, and purchasing, securities in the open market.

 

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter or dealer repays selling concessions allowed to it for distributing a security in this Offering because the underwriter repurchases that security in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

 

Finally, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, securities in market making transactions, including “passive” market making transactions as described below.

 

80

 

 

These activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our securities at a price that is higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the absence of these activities. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may discontinue any of these activities at any time without notice.

 

In connection with this Offering, the underwriters and selling group members, if any, or their affiliates may engage in passive market making transactions in our Common Stock immediately prior to the commencement of sales in this Offering, in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Rule 103 generally provides that:

 

a passive market maker may not effect transactions or display bids for our securities in excess of the highest independent bid price by persons who are not passive market makers;

 

net purchases by a passive market maker on each day are generally limited to 30% of the passive market maker’s average daily trading volume in our securities during a specified two-month prior period or 200 shares, whichever is greater, and must be discontinued when that limit is reached; and

 

passive market making bids must be identified as such.

 

Electronic Distribution

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by the representatives of the underwriters and may also be made available on a website maintained by other underwriters. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the representatives of the underwriters to underwriters that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. In connection with the Offering, the underwriters or syndicate members may distribute prospectuses electronically. No forms of electronic prospectus other than prospectuses that are printable as Adobe® PDF will be used in connection with this Offering.

 

The underwriters have informed us that they do not expect to confirm sales of shares offered by this prospectus to accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.

The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION’S POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

In the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

NEVADA ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW

 

The provisions of Nevada law may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, summarized below, may discourage and prevent coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids.

 

Nevada law contains a provision governing “acquisition of controlling interest.” This law provides generally that any person or entity that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly held Nevada corporation in the secondary public or private market may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested shareholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. The control share acquisition act provides that a person or entity acquires “control shares” whenever it acquires shares that, but for the operation of the control share acquisition act, would bring its voting power within any of the following three ranges: 20 to 33 1/3%; 33 1/3 to 50%; or more than 50%.

 

A “control share acquisition” is generally defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of either ownership or voting power associated with issued and outstanding control shares. The shareholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from the provisions of the control share acquisition act through adoption of a provision to that effect in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exempt our Common Stock from the control share acquisition act.

 

The control share acquisition act is applicable only to shares of “Issuing Corporations” as defined by the Nevada law. An Issuing Corporation is a Nevada corporation which (i) has 200 or more shareholders, with at least 100 of such shareholders being both shareholders of record and residents of Nevada, and (ii) does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.

 

82

 

 

At this time, we do not believe we have 100 shareholders of record resident of Nevada and we do not conduct business in Nevada directly. Therefore, we do not believe that the provisions of the control share acquisition act will apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply, the provisions of the control share acquisition act may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of us, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our shareholders.

 

The Nevada “Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute” may also have an effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of us. This statute prevents an “interested stockholder” and a resident domestic Nevada corporation from entering into a “combination,” unless certain conditions are met. The statute defines “combination” to include any merger or consolidation with an “interested stockholder,” or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an “interested stockholder” having (i) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (ii) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, or (iii) representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.

 

An “interested stockholder” means the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting shares of a resident domestic corporation, or an affiliate or associate thereof. A corporation affected by the statute may not engage in a “combination” within three years after the interested stockholder acquires its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. If approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the three year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of (i) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which he became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (ii) the market value per common share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (iii) if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock.

LUDWIG ENTERPRISES, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 —  Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Ludwig Enterprises, Inc. (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), a Nevada Corporation (incorporated February 2006). In August 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company and the holders of 81.48% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to change the Company’s corporate name to “Revealia, Inc.” The name change is pending approval of the State of Nevada and from FINRA.

 

The Company is currently seeking to develop products and services through the use of cutting-edge technologies in the health care industry.

 

Formation of Subsidiaries

 

On May 18, 2022, the Company formed mRNA for Life, Inc. (“mRNA”), a Wyoming corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. mRNA is expected to produce supplements to address clinical diagnoses from mRNA cheek swabs.

 

On November 18, 2022, the Company formed Precision Genomics, Inc. (“PGI”), a Wyoming corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. PGI will be developing proprietary medical artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology that uses mRNA inflammatory language to potentially capture an inflammatory snapshot of disease and the body’s response to treatment.

 

On June 6, 2023, the Company formed Exousia Ai, Inc. (“EXO”), a Wyoming corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. EXO was formed to focus on studying the expression of differentially expressed mRNA genes in various chronic inflammatory diseases.

 

Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had:

 

Net loss of $2,861,013; and

 

Net cash used in operations was $523,983

 

Additionally, at September 30, 2024, the Company had:

 

Accumulated deficit of $7,103,495

 

Stockholders’ deficit of $2,329,074; and

 

Working capital deficit of $2,329,074

 

The Company has cash on hand of $43,352 at September 30, 2024. The Company does not expect to generate sufficient revenues and positive cash flows from operations to meet its current obligations. However, the Company may seek to raise debt or equity-based capital at favorable terms, though such terms are not certain.

 

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued.

  

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

F-7

 

 

Management’s strategic plans include the following:

 

  Execute business operations more fully during the year ended December 31, 2024,

 

  Seek out strategic acquisitions of health care technology; and

 

  Explore prospective partnership opportunities 

 

Note 2 —  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024. 

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries mRNA and EXO. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

 

Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, which include both quantitative and qualitative assessments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

Significant estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 include valuation of stock-based compensation, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.

 

The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

  Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and

 

  Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

F-8

 

 

The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.

 

Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

 

The Company’s financial instruments are carried at historical cost. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding financial instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s cash balances exceeded FDIC insured limits by $0. The Company did not have any losses on cash in excess of the insured FDIC limit.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:

 

  identify the contract with a customer;

 

  identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

  determine the transaction price;

 

  allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

 

  recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. 

 

F-9

 

 

Research and Development

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with ASC subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”).

 

Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred.

 

The Company incurred research and development expenses of $286,591 and $428,708 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

 

The Company recognized $174,303 and $121,397 in marketing and advertising costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

Pursuant to ASC 340-10-S99-1, costs directly attributable to an offering of equity securities are deferred and would be charged against the gross proceeds of the Offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting, and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the proposed public Offering. Should the proposed public Offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be expensed.

 

As at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred offering costs consisted of the following:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
General and administrative expenses  $60,000   $
              —
 
   $60,000   $
 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options and Common Stock warrant.

 

The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

 

When determining fair value, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

 

  Exercise price,

 

  Expected dividends,

 

  Expected volatility,

 

  Risk-free interest rate; and

 

  Expected life of option 

 

F-10

 

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock, Common Stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of Common Stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible preferred stock, convertible notes and Common Stock issuable. These Common Stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company had the following Common Stock equivalents, which are potentially dilutive equity securities:

 

   September 30,
2024
   December 31,
2023
 
         
Convertible Preferred Stock   700,000,000    700,000,000 
Convertible notes   4,840,000    
 
Common Stock issuable   100,000    1,040,000 
Warrant   5,145,943    
 

 

Each share of preferred stock (7,000,000 shares) is convertible into 100 shares of Common Stock.

 

New Accounting Standard Adopted

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. These amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2022-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We have evaluated all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe that these accounting pronouncements will have any material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures upon adoption.

Notes Issued in 2024

 

In February, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Investor a Promissory Note (the “Note”), dated February 12, 2024, in the principal amount of $50,000. The Note was funded by the Investor on February 15, 2024, with the Company receiving funding of $40,000, net of OID of $15,000, including guaranteed interest of 10% per calendar year, or $5,000. The Note matures on May 12, 2024. In July, 2024 the Company extended the maturity on the note to October 1, 2024.

  1,250,000,000 shares authorized

 

  $0.001 par value

 

  Voting at 1 vote per share

 

Preferred Stock

 

In May 2022 and December 2022, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorized the issuance of 7,000,000 shares of preferred stock which may be amended from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine, prior to issuing any such series of preferred stock and without any vote or action by the shareholders, the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the shares of such series, including dividend rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, the provisions of any purchase, retirement or sinking fund to be provided for the shares of any series, conversion and exchange rights, the preferences upon any distribution of the assets of the Company, including in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, and the preferences and relative rights among each series of preferred stock.

 

The Board of Directors has made the following designations of its preferred stock.

 

F-15

 

 

Convertible Preferred Stock

 

  7,000,000 shares authorized.

 

  $0.001 par value.

 

  Conversion feature — each share of preferred stock is convertible into 100 shares of Common Stock.

 

  Voting — on an as converted basis with Common Stock, at the applicable conversion rate (100 votes for each share of convertible preferred held).

 

  Dividends — accrued only upon declaration of the board of directors, at the applicable conversion rate.

 

  Mandatorily redeemable (automatic conversion) on January 1, 2025. (See below amendment)

 

  Anti-dilution provision – rights exist for the period of two years after the convertible preferred shares were converted into Common Stock. Additionally, holders of the convertible preferred stock will have full ratchet anti-dilution protection rights at the rate of 65% calculated on a fully diluted basis. (See below amendment)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and
Of Ludwig Enterprises Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ludwig Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Explanatory Paragraph- Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit of $4,242,482 at December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred net loss of $2,456,550 and net cash used in operations of $647,860. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise debt or equity-based capital at favorable terms. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This gives rise to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months after the issuance of these financial statements. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that are required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

We did not identify any critical audit matters that need to be communicated.

 

 
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

LUDWIG ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

 

Note 1 — Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Ludwig Enterprises, Inc. (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), a Nevada Corporation (incorporated February 2006).

 

The Company is currently seeking to develop products and services through the use of cutting-edge technologies in the health care industry.

 

Formation of Subsidiaries

 

On May 18, 2022, the Company formed mRNA for Life, Inc. (“mRNA”), a Wyoming corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. mRNA is expected to produce supplements to address clinical diagnoses from mRNA cheek swabs.

 

On November 18, 2022, the Company formed Precision Genomics, Inc. (“PGI”), a Wyoming corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. PGI will be developing proprietary medical artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology that uses mRNA inflammatory language to potentially capture an inflammatory snapshot of disease and the body’s response to treatment.

 

On June 6, 2023, the Company formed Exousia Ai, Inc. (“EXO”), a Wyoming corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. EXO was formed to focus on studying the expression of differentially expressed mRNA genes in various chronic inflammatory diseases.

 

Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had:

 

  Net loss of $2,456,550; and

 

  Net cash used in operations was $647,860

 

Additionally, at December 31, 2023, the Company had:

 

  Accumulated deficit of $4,242,482

 

  Stockholders’ deficit of $1,461,565; and

 

  Working capital deficit of $1,461,565

 

The Company has cash on hand of $108,335 at December 31, 2023. The Company does not expect to generate sufficient revenues and positive cash flows from operations to meet its current obligations. However, the Company may seek to raise debt or equity-based capital at favorable terms, though such terms are not certain.

 

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued.

 

F-24

 

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

Management’s strategic plans include the following:

 

  Execute business operations more fully during the year ended December 31, 2024,

 

  Seek out strategic acquisitions of health care technology; and

 

  Explore prospective partnership opportunities

 

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries mRNA and EXO. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Business Segments

 

The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company has identified one single reportable operating segment. The Company manages its business on the basis of one operating and reportable segment.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

 

Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, which include both quantitative and qualitative assessments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

Significant estimates during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 include valuation of stock-based compensation, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

 

F-25

 

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.

 

The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

  Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and

 

  Level 3 —Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.

 

Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

 

The Company’s financial instruments are carried at historical cost. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding financial instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s cash balances exceeded FDIC insured limits by $0 and $256,583, respectively. The Company did not have any losses on cash in excess of the insured FDIC limit.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists solely of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Specifically, the Company has bottles of vitamin supplements.

 

Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation.

 

F-26

 

 

Management assesses the recoverability and establishes reserves of the various inventory components on a quarterly basis and is based on the estimated net realizable values of respective finished inventory.

 

Slow moving and obsolete inventories are written down based on a comparison of on-hand quantities to historical and projected usages.

 

Inventory at December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.

 

From time to time, the Company may give away samples of its inventory. Samples are recorded as a component of advertising expense.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a provision for obsolete inventory of $46,981. The Company determined that the product inventory was not saleable. The Company recorded this write down as a component of advertising expense which is included as part of general and administrative expenses. See advertising policy note below.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (“ASC 480”), “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (“ASC 815”) “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations (other income/expense) as change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company uses a binomial pricing model to determine fair value of these instruments.

 

Upon conversion or repayment of a debt instrument in exchange for shares of common stock, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability (generally convertible debt and warrants), the Company records the shares of common stock at fair value, relieves all related debt, derivatives, and debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.

 

Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no derivative liabilities.

 

Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options

 

The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which may contain fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted, by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the price of the common stock at the time of conversion. The Company measures the fair value of the notes at the time of issuance, which is the result of the share price discount at the time of conversion and records the premium to interest expense on the note issuance date.

 

Debt Discount

 

For certain notes issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

F-27

 

 

Debt Issue Cost

 

Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with ASC subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”).

 

Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred.

 

The Company incurred research and development expenses of $436,398 and $113,245 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

 

The Company recognized $135,576 and $79,931 in marketing and advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

F-28

 

 

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options.

 

The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

 

When determining fair value, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

 

  Exercise price,

 

  Expected dividends,

 

  Expected volatility,

 

  Risk-free interest rate; and

 

  Expected life of option

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of common stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible preferred stock, convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company had the following common stock equivalents, which are potentially dilutive equity securities:

 

   December 31,
2023
   December 31,
2022
 
           
Convertible Preferred Stock   700,000,000    700,000,000 

 

Each share of preferred stock (7,000,000 shares) is convertible into 100 shares of common stock.

 

Related Parties

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

New Accounting Standard Adopted

 

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year.

 

F-29

 

 

This guidance will be adopted on January 1, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 might have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors in ASC 310, Receivables (Topic 310), and requires entities to provide disclosures about current period gross write-offs by year of origination. Also, ASU 2022-02 updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 was effective for the Company January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’s”) to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found the following recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. These amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

(1) In November 2023, the convertible notes were amended to remove the conversion features and the Company reclassified $540,000 from convertible notes to notes payable.

 

Note Payable

 

Modification of Notes Payable

 

The notes listed above at December 31, 2022 totaling $507,136 (excludes note for $122,873 due August 2024 and $100,000 due October 2024) were originally due at various dates in 2023. In 2023, the Company extended the maturity dates of these notes listed above to January 2024 or April 2024.

 

The Company evaluated the modification of terms under ASC 470-50, “Debt - Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded that the extension of the maturity dates did not result in significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the debt totaling $107,136 (due January 2024), and thus resulted in a modification of the debt and not an extinguishment of the debt. Accordingly, no gain or loss on debt extinguishment was recorded.

 

Specifically, on the date of modification, the Company determined that the present value of the cash flows of the modified debt instruments were less than 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original debt instruments.

 

The Company evaluated the modification of terms under ASC 470-50, “Debt - Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded that the extension of the maturity dates resulted in significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the debt totaling $400,000 (due April 2024), and thus resulted in an extinguishment of the debt. The Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock, having a fair value of $71,600 (based upon the quoted closing price of $0.179/share) in connection with the lender agreeing to extend the loan maturity date. There were no other changes to these notes payable. Accordingly, the Company recorded an inducement expense of $71,600.

 

Specifically, on the date of modification, the Company determined that the present value of the cash flows of the modified debt instruments were greater than 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original debt instruments.

Note Issued in 2023

 

In January 2023, the Company issued an unsecured, one (1) year, original issue discount convertible note with a face amount of $100,000. This note contained an original issue discount of $30,000, resulting in net proceeds of $70,000.

 

The total debt discount of $30,000 is being amortized over the life of the convertible note and has been recorded as a component of other income (expense) – net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

This note is convertible at a 20% discount to market upon the effectiveness of the Company’s Form S-1 registration statement. This convertible note contains an embedded contingent conversion feature that until the contingency is resolved (declared effectiveness of the S-1 registration statement) is not required to be accounted for in accordance with the related accounting guidance. The embedded feature in this convertible note was not accounted for at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, given the probability of the S-1 not becoming effective and also due to the expected inability to acquire sufficient funds from an effective S-1 to repay the note holder, as determined by the Company.

 

On November 8, 2023, the Company’s S-1 registration statement was declared effective. However, the lender has waived their right to the discount to market feature. As a result, both at September 30, 2023 and November 8, 2023, the Company was not required to account for the discount to market feature as a derivative liability.

During 2022, the Company issued a convertible note payable for $150,000. In connection with the issuance of this note, the Company recorded an original discount of $75,000. Additionally, due to the fixed rate embedded conversion feature, the Company also recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $75,000, resulting in an increase to additional paid in capital. The Company received $75,000 in net proceeds.

 

The total debt discount of $150,000 is being amortized over the life of the convertible note and has been recorded as a component of other income (expense) – net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

The remaining convertible notes issued in 2022 totaling $1,232,857 contained original issue discounts totaling $477,857, resulting in net proceeds of $755,000. These original issue discounts are being amortized over the life of the notes and have been recorded as a component of other income (expense) – net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Modification and Extinguishment of Convertible Notes Payable (Year Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022)

 

Year Ended December 31, 2023

 

Maturity Date, Note Modifications in 2023 and 2022 and Inducement Expense

 

Prior to the modification, the convertible notes payable matured on various dates ranging from 2020 and prior through 2022. In connection with the 2022 modification, maturity dates ranged from April 2023 to May 2023.

 

In May 2023, all of the notes listed above ($440,000) were extended to January 2024.

 

The Company evaluated the modification of terms under ASC 470-50, “Debt - Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded that the extension of the maturity date did not result in significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the debt and thus resulted in a modification of the debt and not extinguishment of the debt. Accordingly, no gain or loss on debt extinguishment was recorded.

 

Specifically, on the date of modification, the Company determined that the present value of the cash flows of the modified debt instrument was less than 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original debt instrument.

 

F-33

 

 

In May 2023, the outstanding $1,232,857 in convertible notes payable balance, $692,857 of these notes were converted to 6,298,703 shares of common stock ($0.11/share) (see Note 4 and below regarding inducement).

 

As a result, $540,000 in convertible notes remained from this initial debt modification (October 2022 - $440,000 (now due April 2024), and December 2022 - $100,000 (now due April 2024)).

 

In September 2023, all of the notes listed above ($540,000) as well as the note issued in January 2023 ($100,000) were extended to April 2024 (total $640,000).

 

The Company evaluated the modification of terms under ASC 470-50, “Debt - Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded that the extension of the maturity dates resulted in significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the debt totaling $640,000 (due April 2024), and thus resulted in an extinguishment of the debt. The Company issued 640,000 shares of common stock, having a fair value of $114,560 (based upon the quoted closing price of $0.179/share) in connection with the lender agreeing to extend the loan maturity date. There were no other changes to these notes payable. Accordingly, the Company recorded an inducement expense of $114,560.

 

In November, 2023, the holders of all of the convertible notes listed above waived the convertibility feature of these notes. As a result, $640,000 of Convertible Notes Payable were reclassified from Convertible Notes Payable to Notes Payable.

 

Specifically, on the date of modification, the Company determined that the present value of the cash flows of the modified debt instruments were greater than 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original debt instruments.

 

In December 2023, 6 notes totaling $107,136 were extended to July 2024.

 

In March 2024, all of the notes listed above, as well as the note issued in January 2023 ($100,000) were extended to July 2024 (total ($640,000).

 

Inducements

 

1st Inducement

 

In May 2023, the Company added a second conversion feature to certain notes aggregating $342,857. The Company, in addition to allowing conversion at a discount to market pending the effectiveness of their S1 registration statement, allowed these debt holders an option to convert their debt at a fixed rate of $0.11/share.

 

In adding this substantive conversion option ($0.11/share), the Company determined that an inducement had occurred. Of the $692,857 in debt converted, $342,857 was the amount of debt that received a fixed rate conversion option ($0.11/share), the remaining $350,000 in debt did not receive a fixed rate conversion option, however, was converted at an agreed upon amount of $0.11/share.

 

The entire $692,857 was converted into 6,298,703 shares of common stock. See Note 5.

 

The fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of inducement was in excess of the value of the debt converted by $102,857 as follows during the year ended December 31, 2023:

 

   December 31,
2023
 
Fair value of common stock on conversion date  $445,714 
Fair value of debt subject to inducement   342,857 
Inducement expense  $102,857 

 

2nd Inducement (summary of activity from above – excludes inducement related to addition of substantive conversion option at $0.11/share)

 

As noted above for various notes ($400,000) and convertible notes ($640,000) which were amended in September 2023 (aggregate $1,040,000) to extend the maturity date of these notes to April 2024, the Company issued 1,040,000 shares of common stock having a fair value of $186,160, based upon the quoted closing price of $0.179/share.

 

F-34

 

 

The fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of inducement was in excess of the value of the debt converted by $186,160 as follows during the year ended December 31, 2023:

 

   December 31,
2023
 
Fair value of debt and common stock on extinguishment date  $1,226,160 
Fair value of debt subject to inducement   1,040,000 
Inducement expense  $186,160 

 

3rd Inducement

 

In October 2023, the Company issued convertible notes of $105,000. As a result of conversion of notes, the Company issued extra shares and recorded it as inducement expense.

 

The fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of inducement was in excess of the value of the debt converted by $105,000 as follows during the year ended December 31, 2023:

 

   December 31,
2023
 
Fair value of debt and common stock on extinguishment date  $154,438 
Fair value of debt subject to inducement   105,000 
Inducement expense  $49,438 

 

See Note 5 regarding common stock issued.

 

Year ended December 31, 2022

 

Elimination of Conversion Options and Balance Sheet Classification

 

In April and June 2022, the Company eliminated the conversion options ($0.001 - $0.01/share) associated with all of its then outstanding convertible notes payable, including certain original issue discount notes.

 

On the date of modification, the Company determined that the present value of the cash flows of the modified debt instruments (including accrued interest) were greater than 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original debt instruments. Additionally, the Company determined that the elimination of the conversion options were substantive on the date of modification.

 

As a result, the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $44,475 as follows:

 

Debt —prior to modjfication  $151,611 
Debt —after modification   107,136 
Gain on debt extinguishment  $44,475 

 

All classification terminology on the accompanying balance sheets for these notes was changed from convertible notes payable — net to notes payable – net for 2022, whereas the classification of convertible notes payable – net was reflected for the year ended December 31, 2021 since at that time, these notes had an effective conversion option.

 

All notes issued subsequent to the modifications are classified as convertible notes in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Conversion of Accrued Interest Payable into Notes Payable

 

$9,473 of accrued interest payable on the convertible notes payable outstanding at the time of modification were added to the existing balance of various notes and carried forward as new notes.

 

Interest Rate

 

Prior to the modification, the convertible notes payable bore interest ranging from 8% to 15%. In connection with the modification, interest rates ranged from 8% to 12%.

 

There is no default interest rate for any notes or convertible notes issued.

 

Maturity Date

 

Prior to the modification, the convertible notes payable matured on various dates ranging from 2020 and prior through 2022. In connection with the modification, maturity dates ranged from April 2023 to May 2023.

Note 5 – Stockholders’ Deficit

 

The Company has two (2) classes of stock:

 

Common Stock

 

  1,250,000,000 shares authorized

 

  $0.001 par value

 

  Voting at 1 vote per share

 

Preferred Stock

 

In May 2022 and December 2022, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorized the issuance of 7,000,000 shares of preferred stock which may be amended from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine, prior to issuing any such series of preferred stock and without any vote or action by the shareholders, the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the shares of such series, including dividend rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, the provisions of any purchase, retirement or sinking fund to be provided for the shares of any series, conversion and exchange rights, the preferences upon any distribution of the assets of the Company, including in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, and the preferences and relative rights among each series of preferred stock.

 

The Board of Directors has made the following designations of its preferred stock.

 

Convertible Preferred Stock

 

  7,000,000 shares authorized.

 

  $0.001 par value.

 

  Conversion feature —each share of preferred stock is convertible into 100 shares of common stock.

 

  Voting —on an as converted basis with common stock, at the applicable conversion rate (100 votes for each share of convertible preferred held).

 

  Dividends —accrued only upon declaration of the board of directors, at the applicable conversion rate.

 

  Mandatorily redeemable (automatic conversion) on January 1, 2025. (See below amendment)

 

  Anti-dilution provision – rights exist for the period of two years after the convertible preferred shares were converted into common stock. Additionally, holders of the convertible preferred stock will have full ratchet anti-dilution protection rights at the rate of 65% calculated on a fully diluted basis. (See below amendment)

 

F-36

 

 

In connection with the issuance of these Series A, convertible preferred shares, the Company determined that there were no provisions within ASC 815 that were met, which would require derivative liability accounting treatment. Specifically, as noted below, upon amending the terms of the Series A, convertible preferred stock, at that time, there had been no new stock issuances of any type which may have triggered the anti-dilution provision.

 

In December 2022, the Company amended its articles of incorporation related to certain terms of its Series A, convertible preferred stock. At that time, the Company, along with approval from its convertible preferred stockholders agreed to remove provisions related to mandatory redemption as well as anti-dilution rights.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had 7,000,000 shares issued and outstanding. See below for related issuances.

 

Equity Transactions for the Year Ended December 31, 2023

 

Stock Issued for License

 

The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the right to license, manufacture and market nutraceutical products. These shares had a fair value of $370,000 ($0.37/share), based upon the quoted closing trading price. Additionally, the Company was required to pay $0.10/bottle of product sold. In 2023, there were no sales of product and the remaining $46,981 of related inventory was written off as the products were no longer considered saleable. See above disclosures on inventory and advertising expense.

 

The Company will expense the issuance of these shares as a component of research and development, since shortly after paying for the license, management concluded that it could not commercialize the technology.

 

Pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification 350 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“ASC 350”), this guidance requires that assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized, but instead be subject to annual impairment tests.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, management qualitatively assessed this intangible (license agreement) to determine whether testing was necessary.

 

Factors that management considered in this assessment included macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance (both current and projected), changes in management and strategy, and changes in the composition and carrying amounts of net assets. This qualitative assessment indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than it’s carrying value, a quantitative assessment was then performed. Based on the qualitative analysis conducted during the quarter, management performed a quantitative analysis determining that the asset was not recoverable and would need to be expensed (and not capitalized) on the grant date.

 

In reaching our conclusion to expense the issuance on the grant date and in accordance with ASC 350-30-35-3, we evaluated pertinent factors in arriving at this estimate including the Company no longer pursuing commercialization of the license.

 

Ultimately, we concluded that since the intellectual property cannot be commercialized at this time, the expected use of the asset as well as the Company’s historical experience (very limited) would not support capitalizing an asset that would have been deemed non recoverable on the acquisition date.

 

Stock Issued for Services

 

The Company issued 1,083,334 shares of common stock for services rendered, having a fair value of $258,713 ($0.10 - $0.36/share), based upon the quoted closing trading price.

 

Extinguishment of Convertible Notes Payable and Debt Converted into Common Stock

 

In May 2023, the Company amended certain original issue discount notes aggregating $342,857 by adding a fixed rate conversion option of $0.11/share (inducement to convert). These notes already contained a conversion feature reflecting a 20% discount to market, pending declaration of effectiveness of their Form S-1. The addition of the fixed rate conversion option at $0.11/share was deemed substantive.

 

On the date of modification, the Company determined that the present value of the cash flows of the modified debt instruments (including unamortized debt discount) were greater than 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original debt instruments. The Company determined that the addition of the fixed rate conversion option was substantive on the date of modification.

 

On the date of the modification, holders of these notes simultaneously converted an aggregate $692,857 into 6,298,703 shares of common stock ($0.11/share). Of the total debt converted to common stock, $342,857 was converted into 3,116,882 shares of common stock (this conversion was related to the inducement of including a fixed rate conversion option of $0.11/share). An additional $350,000 was converted into 3,181,821 shares of common stock (these conversions were at an agreed upon $0.11/share, no fixed rate conversion option had been added to these debt instruments).

 

F-37

 

 

Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized upon debt extinguishment. On the date of debt conversion, the remaining unamortized debt discount associated with these notes was fully amortized, resulting in each of these notes being accreted to their face value at the time of conversion.

 

In October and November 2023, the convertible note was fully converted into 954,638 shares of common stock in November and December 2023. The notes were also issued with 62,000 bonus shares having a fair value of $11,098 ($0.179/share), based upon the closing price. These shares are considered an inducement expense. See Note 5 regarding common stock issued.

 

See Note 3 for discussion of inducement expense.

 

Stock Issued in connection with the extension of notes and convertible notes including inducement expense

 

In connection with both the 1st and 2nd inducements noted above, 1,040,000 shares of common stock, having a fair value of $186,160, based upon the quoted closing price of $0.179/share were authorized for issuance in connection with these inducements to extend the loan maturity dates. In October 2023, all shares were issued.

 

In Connection with the note payable issued in October noted above, 1,000,000 shares of common stock, having a fair value of $179,000, based upon the quoted closing price of $0.179/share were authorized and issued in October 2023.

Acquisition of Designer Genomics International Corporation (Asset Purchase)

 

On July 1, 2022, the Company acquired the assets of Designer Genomics International Corporation (“DGI”) (a start-up entity) in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of common stock, having a fair value of $18,000 ($0.018/share), based upon the quoted closing trading price.

 

The assets of DGI consisted solely of the technological know-how of its owners. The Company was a dormant inactive entity at the time of asset purchase. The Company has recorded $18,000 as research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Pursuant to ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): “Clarifying the Definition of a Business”, this acquisition was determined to be that of an asset and not a business, therefore, there was not a business combination requiring acquisition accounting or related financial reporting. Since this was deemed to be an asset purchase, this did not result in the recognition of goodwill or other identifiable intangible assets.

 

Cancellation of Common Stock

 

The Company cancelled 100,000 shares of common stock at par value. The net effect on stockholders’ deficit was $0. These shares were originally issued in 2019 for a research and development project that was never completed.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $75,000 in connection with the issuance of a convertible note payable resulting in an increase to additional paid in capital. See Note 3.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed by applying the federal and state income tax rates in effect to the gross amounts of temporary differences and other tax attributes, such as net operating loss carryforwards. In assessing if the deferred tax assets will be realized, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which these deductible temporary differences reverse.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the valuation allowance increased by approximately $214,000. The total valuation allowance results from the Company’s estimate of its uncertainty in being unable to recover its net deferred tax assets.

 

At December 31, 2023, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income, of approximately $1,444,000. The Company is in the process of analyzing their NOL and has not determined if the Company has had any change of control issues that could limit the future use of these NOL’s.

 

NOL carryforwards that were generated after 2017 of approximately $1,144,000 may only be used to offset 80% of taxable income and are carried forward indefinitely.

 

These carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and similar state provisions if the Company experienced one or more ownership changes which would limit the amount of NOL and tax credit carryforwards that can be utilized to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382 and 383, results from transactions increasing ownership of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of the corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three- year period. The Company has not completed an IRC Section 382/383 analysis. If a change in ownership were to have occurred, NOL and tax credit carryforwards could be eliminated or restricted.

 

If eliminated, the related asset would be removed from the deferred tax asset schedule with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, limitations created by future ownership changes, if any, will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

 

The Company files corporate income tax returns in the United States and Florida jurisdictions. Due to the Company’s net operating loss posture, all tax years are open and subject to income tax examination by tax authorities. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as tax expense. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, there were no unrecognized tax benefits, and there are no significant accruals for interest related to unrecognized tax benefits or tax penalties.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify our directors and officers from and against any liability arising out of their service as a director or officer of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of which they serve as an officer or director at our request to the fullest extent not prohibited by NRS Chapter 78. The effect of this provision of our bylaws is to eliminate our right and our stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our bylaws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the Offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the Offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

II-13

 

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the Offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the Offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(b) That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the Offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
