1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Business  

 

Ainos Inc. (the “Company”, “we” or “us”), is engaged in developing medical technologies for point-of-care (“POCT”) testing and safe and novel medical treatment for a broad range of disease indications. Since our inception in 1984, we have concentrated our resources on business planning, raising capital, research and clinical development activities for our programs, securing related intellectual property and commercialization of proprietary therapeutics using low-dose non-injectable interferon (“IFN”). In addition to our core IFN technology, we are committed to developing a diversified healthcare business portfolio to include medical devices and consumer healthcare products.

 

We have historically been involved in extensive research and development of low-dose oral interferon as a therapeutic. We continue to develop our VELDONA platform and other pharmaceutical platforms and recently have acquired intellectual properties to expand our POCT business. In 2021 and 2022, we acquired significant intellectual property from our majority shareholder, Ainos KY, to expand our potential product portfolio into Volatile Organic Compounds (“VOC”) and COVID-19 POCTs.

 

Underwritten Public Offering

 

The Company’s registration statement related to its underwritten public offering (“Offering”) was declared effective on August 8, 2022, and the Company’s common stock and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on August 9, 2022 under the trading symbols “AIMD” and “AIMDW”, respectively. The Company completed its underwritten public offering of an aggregated 780,000 units at a public offering price of $4.25 per unit. Each unit issued in the offering consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.25.

 

In connection with the Offering, the Company’s board of directors on April 29, 2022 and our shareholders on May 16, 2022 approved a 1-for-15 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock and each series of its redeemable convertible notes to be consummated prior to the effectiveness of the Offering.  The par value and authorized shares of the Company’s common stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. All issued and outstanding common stock, RSUs, warrants and options to purchase common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.

 

The Company filed an amended Restated Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State of Texas on August 8, 2022 that effectuated the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2023, have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

Financial Condition 

 

These accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had available cash and cash equivalents of $1,146,132 and $1,853,362, respectively. We anticipate business revenues and potential financial support from outside sources to fund our operations over the next twelve months. The Company has generated revenues from sales of COVID-19 antigen test kits since the second quarter of 2021. However, due to uncertainties surrounding the progression of COVID-19 infection, there can be no assurance that we can continue grow the COVID-19 test business. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on further successful development and commercialization of one or more of our current or future product candidates and programs. We anticipate our POCT and VELDONA candidates to potentially generate organic cash flows to support our business operation. If we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution, and legal and regulatory compliance. We may also incur additional expenses associated with increased headcount and product development. Furthermore, we expect to incur more general and administrative expenses associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses.

 

Until we can generate significant revenue from product sales, the Company intends to seek additional funding through equity offerings or borrowing arrangements or licensing agreements or strategic alliances to implement its business plan. Please refer to the Subsequent Events section. The issuances of additional equity securities by the Company may result in dilution in the equity interests of its current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans may increase the Company’s liabilities and future cash commitments.

 

We are unable to predict the timing or amount of unexpected expenses or when or if we will be able to increase significant revenue due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development and related legal regulatory requirements, and when we are eventually able to generate additional product sales or licensing income, those revenue may not be sufficient to become profitable. Furthermore, fundraising of emerging company is extremely challenging due to the high uncertainty of the overall economic environment at present. There can be no assurance that the revenue will be generated in time or capital will be available as necessary to meet the Company’s working capital requirements or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

If the company is unable to generate cash inflow from operating activities in the near future, and cannot complete fundraising with sufficient amount and acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, but the accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relative to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities.
