Organization of Business and Going Concern

Note 1 – Organization of Business, Restatement and Going Concern:

 

Generex Biotechnology Corporation (“Generex” or the “Company”), was formed in the State of Delaware on September 4, 1997 and its year-end is July 31. It is engaged primarily in the research and development of drug delivery systems and the use of the Company’s proprietary technology for the administration of formulations of large molecule drugs to the oral (buccal) cavity using a hand-held aerosol applicator; and through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen Express, Inc. (“Antigen”), has undertaken work on immunomedicines incorporating proprietary vaccine formulations.

 

On January 18, 2017, the Company closed an Acquisition Agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired a 51% interest in Hema Diagnostic Systems, LLC (“HDS”), a Florida limited liability company established in December 2000 to market and distribute rapid test devices including infectious diseases. Since 2002, HDS has been developing an expanding line of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) including such diseases as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) – 1/2, tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis, syphilis, typhoid and dengue as well as other infectious diseases. Subsequently, on December 1, 2018, the Company exercised its call option and closed the acquisition of the remaining 49% interest in HDS to become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On October 3, 2018, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Veneto Holdings, L.L.C. (“Veneto”) to purchase certain assets of Veneto and its subsidiaries. The Agreement bifurcated the closing.  On October 3, 2018 (the “First Closing”), the Company purchased substantially all the operating assets of Veneto including (a)system of dispensing pharmacies, (b) one central adjudicating pharmacy, (c) a wholesale pharmaceutical purchasing company, and (d) an in-network laboratory in exchange for a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $15,000,000. On November 1, 2018 the Company consummated the acquisition of the Second Closing Assets, consisting primarily of Veneto’s management services organization business and two additional ancillary services. The aggregate price for the First Closing Assets and the Second Closing Assets was $30,000,000. The Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $35,000,000 (the “New Note”) consisting of the $30,000,000 purchase price and a $5,000,000 original issue discount, as the sole consideration payable on the Second Closing Date. On January 15, 2019, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Veneto and the equity owners of Veneto entered into restructuring payment of the Note. At the time of filing the Company is still negotiating terms and as such, has not been finalized.

 

On January 7, 2019, the Company closed two separate Acquisition Agreements pursuant to which the Company acquired a 51% interest in both Regentys Corporation (“Regentys”) and Olaregen Therapeutix Inc. (“Olaregen”). Regentys is a regenerative medicine company focused on developing novel treatments for patients with gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Olaregen is a New York based regenerative medicine company that is preparing to launch its proprietary, patented, wound conforming gel matrix, Excellagen, an FDA 510K cleared wound healing product. The terms of the Regentys acquisition included an upfront payment of $400,000, plus $14,600,000 to be paid according to a milestone-based schedule. The terms of the Olaregen acquisition included an upfront payment of $400,000, plus $11,600,000 to be paid according to a milestone-based schedule.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $403 million and a working capital deficiency of approximately $54 million at January 31, 2019. The Company has funded its activities to date almost exclusively from debt and equity financings.

  

The Company will continue to require substantial funds to implement its new investment acquisition plans.  Management’s plans in order to meet its operating cash flow requirements include financing activities such as private placements of its common stock, preferred stock offerings, and issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments. Management is also actively pursuing financial and strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures, industry collaboration activities and strategic partners.

 

It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the balance sheet date. There are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that the Company will succeed in its future operations. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s inability to obtain required funding in the near future or its inability to obtain funding on favorable terms will have a material adverse effect on its operations and strategic development plan for future growth. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement its strategic development plan, its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected, and the Company may have to cease operations.
