SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “outlook,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain financial and operating projections or state other forward-looking information. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future events, actions, plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth or anticipated in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our forward- looking statements and upon our business, results of operations, financial condition, funds derived from operations, cash available for dividends, cash flows, liquidity and prospects include, but are not limited to, the factors referenced in this document, including those set forth below:

	●	our lack of an operating history;
	●	the net losses that we expect to incur as we develop our business;
	●	Obtaining U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other regulatory approvals or clearances for our technology;
	●	implementing and achieving successful outcomes for clinical trials of our products;
	●	convincing physicians, hospitals and patients of the benefits of our technology and to convert from current technology;
	●	the ability of users of our products (when and as developed) to obtain third-party reimbursement;
	●	any failure to comply with rigorous FDA and other government regulations; and
	●	securing, maintaining and defending patent or other intellectual property protections for our technology.
	●	decline in global financial markets and economic downturn resulting from the coronavirus COVID-19 global pandemic;
	●	business interruptions resulting from the coronavirus COVID-19 global pandemic.

Forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties and there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors, risks and uncertainties can be found in Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2022, (the “Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as the same may be updated from time to time, including in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements, which reflect our views as of the date of this document. The matters discussed herein and elsewhere in this document could cause our actual results and performance to differ materially from those set forth or anticipated in forward-looking statements. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee future results or performance. Furthermore, except as required by law, we are under no duty to, and we do not intend to, update any of our forward-looking statements after the date of this document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

VICAPSYS LIFE SCIENCES, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

Business

Vicapsys Life Sciences, Inc. (“VLS”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on July 8, 1997 under the name All Product Distribution Corp. On August 19, 1998, the Company changed its name to Phage Therapeutics International, Inc. On November 13, 2007, the Company changed its name to SSGI, Inc. On December 22, 2017, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among VLS, Michael W. Yurkowsky, ViCapsys, Inc. (“VI”) and the shareholders of VI, a private company, VI became a wholly owned subsidiary of VLS. We refer to VLS and VI together as the “Company”. VLS serves as the holding company for VI. Other than its interest in VI, VLS does not have any material assets or operations.

Per the schedule 14C filed on May 17, 2022, on April 22, 2022, stockholders of the Company approved a reverse split in the range from 1-for-2 to 1-for-50, with the Board of Directors able to pick the ratio or abandon the split. The split is subject to FINRA clearance and filing with Secretary of State. As of the date of this filing such split has not occurred.

The Company’s strategy is to develop and commercialize, on a worldwide basis, various intellectual property rights (patents, patent applications, know how, etc.) relating to a series of encapsulated products that incorporate proprietary derivatives of the chemokine CXCL12 for creating a zone of immunoprotection around cells, tissues, organs and devices for therapeutic purposes. The product name VICAPSYN™ is the Company’s proprietary product line that is applied to transplantation therapies and related stem-cell applications in the transplantation field.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company experienced a net loss of $211,277 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, had a working capital deficit of $1,141,371 and an accumulated deficit of $15,325,692 as of March 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to operate in the normal course of business within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel COVID-19 virus as a global pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States continued to negatively impact to the Company’s ability to secure additional debt or equity funding to support operations in 2022 and 2023. In 2022, the Company received proceeds of $50,000 from the exercise of warrants. In April 2023, the Company raised an aggregate of $100,000 from the sale of 400,000 shares of common stock to support current operations and extend research and development of its product line. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in this effort. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds in 2023, it will be forced to severely curtail all operations and research and development activities.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements in this report have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the stated periods have been made. Except as described below, these adjustments consist only of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s consolidated annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2023. Interim results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year. The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of VLS and its wholly owned subsidiary VI. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates included in the financial statements, include useful the life of intangible assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and non-cash equity transactions and stock-based compensation.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022. Cash balances may, at certain times, exceed federally insured limits. If the amount of a deposit at any time exceeds the federally insured amount at a bank, the uninsured portion of the deposit could be lost, in whole or in part, if the bank were to fail.

Intangible Assets

Costs of intangible assets are accounted for through the capitalization of those costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining such assets. Capitalized costs are included in intangible assets in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s intangible assets consist of costs incurred in connection with securing an Exclusive Patent License Agreement with The General Hospital Corporation, d/b/a Massachusetts General Hospital (“MGH”), as amended (the “License Agreement”). These costs are being amortized over the term of the License Agreement which is based on the remaining patent life of the related patents being licensed.

In 2022, due to the combination of not having met certain due diligence requirements per the License Agreement, and the Company not raising sufficient capital necessary to maintain regular research and development activities in 2022, the Company reviewed the MGH license agreement for possible impairment. The Company concluded an impairment of the License Agreement existed due to there being no projected undiscounted future net cash flows derived from the asset (See Note 4).

Long-Lived Assets

The Company recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying values. In 2022, management reviewed the Company’s long-lived assets and concluded an impairment of the License Agreement existed as of December 31, 2022 due to there being no projected undiscounted future net cash flows derived from the asset (See Note 4).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments. ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2023.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, payables with related parties, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognition is accounted for under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) and all the related amendments. The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

The Company’s contracts with customers are generally on a contract and work order basis and represent obligations that are satisfied at a point in time, as defined in the new guidance, generally upon delivery or has services are provided. Accordingly, revenue for each sale is recognized when the Company has completed its performance obligations. Any costs incurred before this point in time, are recorded as assets to be expensed during the period the related revenue is recognized. The Company did not generate any revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation –Stock Compensation,” which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under the FASB’s Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.

Research and Development

Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $10,000, respectively, in research and development expenses with a related party.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition issues. Interest and penalties are classified as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor paid, any interest or penalties.

Uncertain tax positions are measured and recorded by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and as-if converted method. As of March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company’s dilutive securities are convertible into 3,397,281 and 23,467,283 shares of common stock, respectively, which are not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is antidilutive.

The following table represents the classes of dilutive securities as of March 31, 2023, and 2022:

	March 31, 2023		March 31, 2022
Common stock to be issued		727,281		627,281
Stock options		2,670,000		1,900,000
Warrants to purchase common stock		—		4,060,000
Anti-dilutive securities		3,397,281		6,587,281

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.

NOTE 4 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company’s intangible assets consist of costs incurred in connection with the License Agreement with MGH (See Note 5). The consideration paid for the rights included in the License Agreement was in the form of common stock shares which resulted in MGH receiving approximately 20% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of VI. The estimated fair value of the common stock as of the date of the agreement is being amortized over the term of the License Agreement which is based on the remaining patent life of the related patents being licensed which is approximately 16 years.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”) requires that a company recognize an impairment loss if, and only if, the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of the asset, and if the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Per ASC 360, a long-lived asset should be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its’ carrying amount may not be recoverable. In 2022, due to the combination of not having met certain due diligence requirements per the License Agreement, and the Company not raising sufficient capital necessary to maintain regular research and development activities in 2022, the Company reviewed the MGH license agreement for possible impairment as of December 31, 2022 by evaluating whether the anticipated future benefit and estimated undiscounted cashflows of the license agreement exceeded the carrying value of the intangible asset of approximately $348,000 as of that date.

The Company concluded an impairment of the license agreement existed as of December 31, 2022 due to there being no projected undiscounted future net cash flows derived from the asset. As such, the Company wrote off the carrying value of the asset as of December 31, 2022.

The Company recognized $0 and $7,822 of amortization expense related to the License Agreement with MGH for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Consulting Agreements

On November 5, 2021, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Poznansky Agreement”) with Mark Poznansky, MD, a minority stockholder and former Director. The Company engaged Dr. Poznansky to render consulting services with respect to informing, guiding, and supervising the development of antagonists to immune repellents or anti-fugetaxins for the treatment of cancer. The initial term of the Poznansky Agreement was for six months (the “Initial Term”), which was extended indefinitely, and the Company agreed to pay the Consultant $2,000 per month commencing November 5, 2021, with consideration for an increase in the monthly fee following the completion for the Company’s successful up listing to the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Company incurred a total of $6,000 in expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 related to the Poznansky Agreement, which is included in professional fees on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, $31,500 and $26,000, respectively, is included in accounts payable, related parties, on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets, related to the Poznansky Agreement.

On December 19, 2017, the Company amended its articles of incorporation by filing a certificate of designation with the Secretary of State of Florida therein designating a class of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, consisting of 3 million (3,000,000) shares. Each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of votes held by the number of shares of common stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted, and except as otherwise required by applicable law, shall have the voting rights and power equal to the voting rights and powers of the common stock. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of the common stock of the Company as a single class and as single voting group upon all matters required to be submitted to a class or series vote pursuant to the protective provisions of the Certificate of Designation or under applicable law.

In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any common stock holders, distribution of any surplus funds equal to the greater of (i) the sum of $1.67 per share or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares been converted to common stock.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion Rate of 2:1 (the “Series A Conversion Rate”). The Series A Conversion Rate shall be adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar recapitalizations.

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 6,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued on February 12, 2021, (the one-year anniversary of the initial filing by the Company of the Form 10 filed with the SEC). The common stock shares for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock were issued on January 13, 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were -0- shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Series B Preferred Stock

On December 19, 2017, the Company amended the articles of incorporation by filing a certificate of designation with the Secretary of State of Florida therein designating a class of preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, consisting of 4.44 million (4,440,000) shares (the “Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation”).

Each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of votes held by the number of shares of common stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock could be converted, and except as otherwise required by applicable law, shall have the voting rights and power equal to the voting rights and powers of the common stock. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of the common stock of the Company as a single class and as single voting group upon all matters required to be submitted to a class or series vote pursuant to the protective provisions of the Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation or under applicable law. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any common stock holders, distribution of any surplus funds equal to the greater of : the sum of $0.83 per share or such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares been converted to common stock.

The holder of Series B Preferred Stock may elect at any time to convert such sharers into common stock of the Company. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of 1:1 (the “Series B Conversion Rate”). The Series B Conversion Rate shall be adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar recapitalizations.

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock automatically converted into 4,440,000 shares of common stock to be issued on February 12, 2021, the one-year anniversary of the initial filing by the Company of the Form 10 filed by the Company with the SEC. The common stock shares for the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock were issued on January 13, 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were -0- shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

The Company has 300,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were 31,188,460 shares, respectively, of common stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock Issuances

On February 12, 2021, the Company issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, pursuant to the automatic conversion feature of the Series A Certificate of Designation, whereby, the Series A shares are to automatically convert on the one-year anniversary of the Company filing its Registration Statement on Form 10. The Form 10 Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on February 12, 2020. The common stock shares for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock were issued on January 13, 2022.

On February 12, 2021, the Company issued 4,440,000 shares of common stock to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to the automatic conversion feature of the Series B Certificate of Designation, whereby, the Series B shares are to automatically convert on the one-year anniversary of the Company filing its Registration Statement on Form 10. The Form 10 Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on February 12, 2020. The common stock shares for the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock were issued on January 13, 2022.

In 2022, the Company determined that the former Series B Preferred Stockholders, subsequent to all Series B Preferred Stock having previously been converted to shares of common stock in 2021, were owed additional shares of common stock due to an adjustment to the conversion price that occurred as a result of a down round trigger event that occurred in 2019 when the Company sold shares of common stock and a warrant in a private placement at a price of $0.25, which was below the original conversion ratio of the Series B Preferred Stock. Management determined the total additional shares owed to the Preferred B Stockholders to be 1,001,177 as a result of the down round trigger. The financial statement impact of this down round trigger was not significant. The shares owed to the Series B Preferred Stockholders due to the 2019 trigger event have been presented on the statement of stockholders’ deficit retrospectively as common stock to be issued with no impact on total stockholders’ deficit. The Company issued the additional shares to the Series B Preferred Stockholders on March 24, 2022.

In July 2022, the Company received proceeds totaling $50,000 and issued 100,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants at $0.50 per share.

Common Stock to be issued

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 727,281 shares of common stock to be issued. The amount relates to 597,281 shares to be issued pursuant to a Stock Issuance and Release Agreement (“SRI Agreement”) executed by the Company in February 2019 to stockholders for no consideration who purchased shares in 2018 at $1.85, 30,000 shares of common stock to be issued to two initial shareholders of VI, and 100,000 shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of warrants in July 2022.

Stock Option-Based Compensation Plan

On August 10, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted the Vicapsys Life Sciences, Inc., 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The material terms of the 2022 Plan are set forth below:

●	The Board or a committee established by the Board will administer the 2022 Plan.
●	The total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2022 Plan is 3,200,000 shares of Common Stock plus, to the extent the Company issues new shares of Common Stock other than under the terms of the 2022 Plan or other than certain Inducement Awards, 3.1% of the shares of Common Stock issued by the Company in such issuance (or such lower amount as determined by the Board). As of August 16, 2022, 3,200,000 shares of Common Stock represents approximately 10.1% of our common stock outstanding.
●	Eligible recipients of awards include an employee, director or independent contractor of the Company who has been selected as an eligible participant by the Administrator, subject to certain limitations relating to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
●	No non-employee director may be granted awards under the 2022 plan during any calendar year if such awards and cash fees paid for serving as a non-employee director would exceed $150,000 in the non-employee director’s initial year of service, or $195,000 in any year thereafter.
●	In no event shall the exercise price of an option issued pursuant to the 2022 Plan be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant.

The purposes of the Plan are to (i) provide an additional incentive to selected employees, directors, and independent contractors of the Company or its Affiliates whose contributions are essential to the growth and success of the Company, (ii) strengthen the commitment of such individuals to the Company and its Affiliates, (iii) motivate those individuals to faithfully and diligently perform their responsibilities and (iv) attract and retain competent and dedicated individuals whose efforts will result in the long-term growth and profitability of the Company. To accomplish these purposes, the Plan provides that the Company may grant Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Other Stock-Based Awards or any combination of the foregoing.

The Company has raised an aggregate amount of $100,000 as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Historical results and trends that might appear in this Quarterly Report should not be interpreted as being indicative of future operations.

Overview

The Company’s strategy is to develop and commercialize, on a worldwide basis, various intellectual property rights (patents, patent applications, know how, etc.) relating to a series of encapsulated products that incorporate proprietary derivatives of the chemokine CXCL12 for creating a zone of immuno protection around cells, tissues, organs and devices for therapeutic purposes. The product name VICAPSYN™ is the Company’s proprietary product line that is applied to transplantation therapies and related stem-cell applications in the transplantation field.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2023, and 2022

Revenues

The Company did not have any revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Operating Expenses

We classify our operating expenses into four categories: personnel costs, research and development expenses, professional fees, and general and administrative expenses. The Company’s total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $211,277, compared to $167,047 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The $10,833 monthly increase in Director fees for our CEO commencing in January 2023, resulted in an increase in personnel costs to $64,031 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $30,369 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We incurred $10,000 in research and development expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, related to a non-refundable royalty fee we agreed to pay upon execution of the Eighth Amendment to the License Agreement with MGH. Research and development expenses remained consistently low as the Company continued ongoing financing efforts in the wake of the negative impact of COVID-19, which continued to hinder the Company’s ability to raise the additional capital necessary to maintain regular operating activities. The decrease in general and administrative costs to $3,763 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $12,793 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was primarily due to no amortization expense incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to the intangible asset that was written off as of December 31, 2022. The increase in professional fees to $133,483 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $113,885 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was primarily attributable to the legal, accounting, and consulting and investor relations costs incurred in support of the Company’s efforts to obtain a listing on a national securities exchange.

Funding Requirements

We anticipate that substantial additional equity or debt financings or funding from collaborative agreements or from foundations, government grants or other sources, will be needed to complete preclinical and animal testing necessary to file an Investigational New Drug Application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and that further funding beyond such amounts will be required to commence trials and other activities necessary to begin the process of development and regulatory approval of a product for the continued growth of the Company. Additional capital will also be required for the clinical development of the recently discovered anti-fibrotic applications and corporate partnerships will be necessary to move Company products into advanced clinical development and commercialization. We also anticipate our cash expenditures will increase as we continue to operate as a publicly traded entity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2023, we had $4,140 of cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $15,325,692.

We do not believe that we have enough cash on hand to operate our business during the next 12 months. We anticipate we will need to raise an additional $1 million through the issuance of debt or equity securities to sustain base operations during the next 12 months, excluding development work. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our common stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include conversion discounts or covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.

If we raise additional funds through government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, or strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our future revenue streams, products or therapeutic candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

To date, we have financed our operations through our sale of equity and debt securities. Failure to generate revenue or to raise funds could cause us to go out of business, which would result in the complete loss for investors in our Company.

To date, we have generated no revenues, and no substantial revenues are anticipated until we have implemented our full plan of operations. To implement our strategy to grow and expand per our business plan, we intend to generate working capital via a private placement of equity or debt securities, or to secure a loan. If we are unsuccessful in raising capital or securing a loan, we could be required to cease business operations and investors would lose all of their investment.

The Company did not raise any additional capital during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.

In July 2022, the Company received aggregate proceeds totaling $50,000 and issued 100,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants at $0.50 per share.

Additionally, we will have to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly reporting company. Our management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure our Company is compliant with various regulatory requirements.

This additional corporate governance time required of management could limit the amount of time management has to implement our business plan and may impede the speed of our operations.

Net increase (decrease) in cash	$	(9,957	)	$	(115,976	)

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $4,140 of cash on hand.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4) during the periods presented, investments in special-purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt. Additionally, we are not a party to any derivative contracts or synthetic leases.

Contractual Obligations

MGH License Agreement

The Company has executed a License Agreement with MGH. Prior to the first commercial sale, the License Agreement requires the Company to pay MGH a non-refundable annual license fee of $10,000 by June 30, 2022, and on each subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter. The first non-refundable annual license fee was paid on July 1, 2022. Additionally, following the first commercial sale, the License agreement requires the Company to pay MGH a non-refundable annual minimum royalty in the amount of $100,000 per year within sixty days after each annual anniversary of the Effective Date.

The Company entered into a consulting agreement with Donohoe Advisory Associates, LLC to provide assistance and advice to the Company in support of the Company’s efforts to obtain a listing on a national securities exchange. The Company will be obligated to pay a “success fee” to the Consultant of either $10,000 or that number of registered common shares equivalent to $10,000 divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last day of trading on the OTC Market. The form of the success fee will be determined by the Company.

Employment Agreement

The Company entered into a consulting agreement with Alpha IR Group, LLC to provide consulting, investor relations, and corporate and transaction communication related services. The initial term of the consulting agreement was for three months beginning March 1, 2022, and the Company agreed to pay compensation equal to the sum of $50,000 payable in cash or stock options for the three months of service.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate, on an ongoing basis, our estimates and judgments, including those related to the useful life of the assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our consolidated financial statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), considers an entity’s most critical accounting policies to be those policies that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and those that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain at the time of estimation.

We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, require significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our interim consolidated financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on April 14, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives, and the Company necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, and concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023, due to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company has an ineffective control environment due to a lack of internal resources with expertise to determine entries and disclosures related to some of the Company’s more complex equity transactions. Management believes this lack of internal expertise has been historically mitigated by continuing to retain consultants with this expertise when needed. The Company expects that this material weakness will be further remediated with future capital raises.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is the Company’s property the subject of a pending legal proceeding. None of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates are involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to disclose material changes to the risk factors that were contained in the Company’s Form 10 registration statement originally filed with the SEC on February 12, 2020, as amended (the “Form 10”). However, in light of the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, set forth below is a risk factor relating to COVID-19. Other than as set forth below, as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors faced by the Company from those previously disclosed in the Form 10.
