NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

These notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect a 10 for 1 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock effective as of March 13, 2024.

1. ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND MANAGEMENT’S PLAN

Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly Rafael Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) was formed as a result of a merger in 2002 between Cornerstone Ventures, LLC (“Ventures”), a New York limited liability company which was organized on May 14, 1999, and Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a New York corporation which was incorporated on November 1, 2001, with Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) being the surviving entity. On December 24, 2009, the Company (New York) was merged with and into a newly formed Delaware corporation by the same name, for the purpose of changing domiciles. This merger had no financial or accounting effects on the Company. On May 10, 2017, the Board of Directors approved the resolution changing the name to Rafael Pharmaceuticals, Inc. On April 29, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the resolution changing the Company’s name back to Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The Company is a privately held, clinical stage, oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company engaged in developing therapeutics that exploit and target cancer cell metabolism. The drug candidate is in the development phase (see Note 16) and has not received regulatory approval. The Company has yet to generate any revenues from its product candidate in development. The Company has performed certain research related activities under grant and service agreements for which revenue was earned and recognized.

Since inception, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations and has not generated positive cash flows from operations. In addition, the Company does not have any revenue stream to support its cost structure. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts and the classification of liabilities that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management’s Plan

The development of the Company’s products will require a commitment of substantial funds to conduct the costly and time-consuming research, preclinical and clinical testing necessary to bring such products to market and to establish, acquire or contract for manufacturing and marketing capabilities. Future capital requirements will depend on factors including scientific progress in research and development programs, the Company’s ability to establish collaborative arrangements with others for drug development, progress with preclinical and clinical trials, the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals and effective commercialization activities. Since inception, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations and has not generated positive cash flows from operations. In addition, the Company does not have any revenue stream to support its cost structure. The Company has secured two lines of credit, a $50,000,000 Line of Credit and a $25,000,000 Line of Credit, which the Company will use for planned activities and to expand its activities (see Note 7). As of October 31, 2023, the Company has drawn down $46,875,000 on its Lines of Credit and the remaining amount available to draw down is $28,125,000.

The Company will need to raise substantial additional capital in order to bring its products to market and reach additional milestones in its licensing agreement in order to recognize revenue. There can be no assurance that such new offerings will be consummated or that such collaborative ventures will be entered into on favorable terms, if at all. If such new offerings are not consummated or additional financing is not otherwise available, the Company will be required to modify its business development plans or reduce or cease certain or all operations. In the event that any additional funding is obtained, such financings may have a dilutive effect to current stockholders.

As of October 31, 2023, the Company is in default on approximately $12,189,320 of convertible notes as they are beyond their payment terms and that other debt which is also past due but no notice of default has been provided (see Note 7).

Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company submitted several proposed restructuring transactions for stockholder approval. The transactions included a minority stockholder right offering, conversion of convertible notes plus accrued interest through date of transaction in the amount of $15,514,631 to common stock, converting all preferred stock to common stock, conversion of related parties’ debt plus accrued interest through date of transaction in the amount of $32,730,465 to common stock and additional investment of $1,500,000 from a related party in exchange for common stock at a set transaction price. This transaction included a reverse stock split to the ratio of 10:1. All references to common shares and common per share amounts presented have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock split. Included in these transactions was an amendment to the first Line of Credit, limiting the Company to the amount already drawn, removing the anti-dilution protections and extending the maturity date to May 31, 2028. The Company received approval and closed these transactions on March 13, 2024. As a result of these transactions, Rafael Holdings, Inc. and its affiliates became the controlling shareholder of the Company.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation — The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Operating results for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024. The balance sheet at July 31, 2023 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2020.

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The valuation of derivative liabilities, fair value of the of stock-based compensation expense, allocation of certain expenses between general and administrative and research and development expenses, accounting for the issuance of warrants, and accounting for certain income tax items including our conclusion to establish a valuation allowance, require the significant use of estimates and assumptions. Management believes that amounts recorded based on estimates and assumptions are reasonable and any differences between estimates and actual amounts will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Cash and Marketable Securities — Cash consists of cash and deposits of all highly-liquid debt instruments of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash.

The Company’s investments in marketable securities have been classified and accounted for as trading securities. The Company’s marketable securities are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in other income/(expense). The cost of securities sold is determined using the specific identification method.

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment consist of office equipment, laboratory equipment and leasehold improvements. Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The related depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: office equipment and laboratory equipment - three to five years; and leasehold improvements - 10 years, which represents the lesser of the estimated life of the assets or the lease term. Minor maintenance and repairs, and minor renewals and betterments are charged to expense as incurred.

Advances Payables to Related Parties — Funds were advanced to the Company from time to time for operating purposes from related parties. Advances payable to related parties were $1,288,522 at October 31, 2023 and July 31, 2023.

Long-Lived Assets — The Company reviews its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds the expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated from the asset, including eventual disposition. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of long-lived assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. The Company’s management determined that no events or changes in circumstances have indicated that asset-carrying values were no longer recoverable. No impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022.

Leases - The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). ASC 842 is a Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guideline that requires companies to record leases longer than 12 months as assets and liabilities on their balance sheets. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses, if any, are recorded when incurred.

Income Taxes — Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances have been established as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

6

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain state jurisdictions. The tax years subject to audit are 2021 through 2023. The Company does not believe there will be a material change in its recognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

The Company recognizes the effect of uncertain income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgement occurs.

The Company has sustained losses since inception, which has generally resulted in a zero percent effective tax rate except for the benefit realized for selling the New Jersey net operating losses (NOL’s) and credits (defined in Note 13).

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on tax matters as a component of income tax expense. The Company has not incurred any interest or penalties.

Revenue Recognition — In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), or ASU 2014-09. The objective of the ASU is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, which supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the ASU, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The five-step analysis consists of the following: (i) identifying the contract with a customer, (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB’s ASC.

The Company derives its revenue from the License of the Licensed Compounds and products which falls within the scope of accounting standard codification ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and is accounted for at the point in time when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer and the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied.

Research and Development Costs and Expenses — Research and development (“R&D”) costs and expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses, stock-based compensation, fees paid to external service providers, purchased in-process research and development, laboratory supplies, costs for facilities and equipment, license costs, and other costs for research and development activities. Research and development expenses are recorded in operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Estimates have been used in determining the liability for certain costs where services have been performed but not yet invoiced. The Company monitors levels of performance under each significant contract for external service providers, including the extent of patient enrollment and other activities through communications with the service providers to reflect the actual amount expended.

Concentrations of Risk — Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of risk principally consist of cash. At times the Company invests excess cash primarily in money market funds backed by U.S. Treasury collateral. At times, such funds may exceed federally insured limits. At times during fiscal years 2023 and 2022, the Company had cash that was in excess of the federally insured limits. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions.

Any products developed by the Company will require approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or foreign regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s products will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company is denied such approvals or such approvals are delayed, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company’s drug candidates are in the development phase and none have received regulatory approval. To achieve profitable operations, the Company must successfully develop, test, manufacture and market its products. There can be no assurance that any such products can be developed successfully or manufactured at an acceptable cost and with appropriate performance characteristics, or that such products will be successfully marketed. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial results.

For the three months ended October 31, 2023, the Company had purchase concentrations of 25% and 13% from two vendors.

For the three months ended October 31, 2022, the Company had no purchase concentrations of over 10% to any individual vendor.

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all grants of employee stock options to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their grant date fair values, which is determined by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For stock options granted to employees and to members of the Board of Directors for their services on the Board of Directors, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option award using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black- Scholes option- pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. The Company records compensation cost over the related service periods.

7

The Company recorded stock-based option compensation as follows (in thousands):

	For the Three Months ended October 31,
	2023		2022
General and administrative	$	43	$	44
Research and development		211		284
Total	$	254	$	328

No related tax benefits from stock compensation expense were recognized for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022.

As of October 31, 2023, there was $994,174 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation, which will be amortized over the remaining service period.

Warrants — The Company accounts for warrants to purchase stock based on guidelines provided in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815”) which provides guidance on contracts that are settled in the Company’s own shares as either a liability or as an equity instrument depending on the warrant agreement. The Company uses the Black-Scholes or trinomial pricing models, depending on the applicable terms of the warrant agreement, to value the derivative warrant liabilities in bifurcating such amount from convertible notes payable (See Notes 8 and 11).

Deferred Financing Costs — The Company accounted for deferred financing costs in accordance with ASU Topic 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), which provides guidance on how to accounts for changes in the way debt issuance costs are reported. Debt issuance costs, prior to ASU 2015-03, were reported on the balance sheet as assets and amortized over the life of the loan(s). ASU 2015-03 requires these costs to be reported as liabilities on the balance sheet as a discount to the debt. These costs were incurred before an associated debt liability is recorded in the financial statements, therefore, are presented as an asset on the Company’s balance sheet. These costs represent the common stock issued and the anti-dilution provision associated with obtaining the Line of Credit (see Note 7). These fees are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreements, on a straight- line basis which approximates the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing fees are expensed in full when the associated debt is refinanced, repaid before maturity, or otherwise extinguished.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting Standards Codification ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASU 820”), establishes a consistent framework in how to value the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to increase consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards that permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair value. This standard also expands financial statement disclosure requirements about a company’s use of fair value measurements, including the effect of such measures on earnings.

This standard defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This standard also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

8

Reported amounts for cash, accounts payable and stockholder advances are generally considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments and are considered Level 1.

As required by ASC 820-10, assets and liabilities fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Convertible promissory notes were recorded based on the face values as of their respective issuance dates with the exception of the Convertible Promissory Note – D Series (“D Note”) dated September 16, 2016 with a face value of $10,000,000. The proceeds allocated to the Series D Note are adjusted for amortization for the difference between the issuance value and the fair value as of the date of issuance. Due to close proximity to the issuance dates, including the relatively short maturity dates, the carrying amounts of the convertible notes were valued as of their issuance dates except for the D Note which was carried at the initial fair value measurement date as adjusted for discount amortization. The Company concluded that an estimation of the fair value of the convertible promissory notes was not practical due to the short-term maturity obligations of the respective instruments (see Note 8).

The Company determined that the anti-dilution feature of the line of credit (see Note 7) should be recognized as a free-standing instrument that meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recorded the value of the anti-dilution feature as a derivative liability which will be stated at fair value at each reporting period with changes in fair value being recorded as a marked-to-market adjustment in the Company’s statement of operations. For the significant assumptions the Company used to calculate the derivative liability (see Note 9).

The following tables set forth the Company’s assets and liabilities fair value at October 31, 2023 and July 31, 2023 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

The Company also agreed to an additional payment of $2,000,000 upon the issuance of a FDA authorization to market any product of the Company. In the event the Company completes a capital transaction which results in an aggregate of $100,000,000 in additional capital received after January 1, 2023, the Company agrees to pay an additional $4,000,000 to the Creditor within 15 days of such capital transaction. In exchange for Company’s agreement to make timely payments of the above-mentioned sums due in the Agreement, the Creditor will waive approximately $2,542,000 of outstanding debt, representing all remaining amounts due to the Creditor.

Following the payment of the initial $2,000,000, and pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Creditor agreed to forbear from exercising any of its rights, remedies or claims in respect to the outstanding balance. The forbearance shall not be deemed to have otherwise waived, released, or adversely affected any of the Creditor’s rights, remedies or claims in respect to the outstanding balance.

Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company amended the maturity date and interest to March 14, 2024 with the interest rate remaining at 7.5%.

The entire CPN together with all accrued unpaid interest, may, at the Company’s election at any time be converted into a number of shares calculated by dividing the entire amount owed by the conversion price used by the Company in a qualified offering/conversion, and if no qualified offering/conversion has been consummated, the fair market value for the conversion as determined by an independent third-party valuation firm. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company is in the process of a comprehensive restructuring with the related party and plans to convert this note into shares.

Included in these transactions was conversion of the CNP debt plus accrued interest in exchange for common stock at a set transaction price. The transactions included a reverse stock split to the ratio of 10:1. The Company received approval and closed on the transactions on March 13, 2024.

8. CONVERTIBLE NOTES

The convertible notes issuance through October 31, 2023 are as follows:

	Total		C Notes (1) (2)
Balance as of July 31, 2023	$	12,239	$	12,239

The C Notes carry an interest rate of 3.5% per annum and are due, together with accrued interest, one year (unless amended) from date of issuance and automatically accelerate upon the sale of the Company in its entirety or the sale or license of substantially all of the Company’s assets or intellectual property. The C Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon) automatically convert into the same class of securities (including stock warrants) sold in our next equity financing (i) where the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 from Institutional Investors (a “Qualified Financing”), or (ii) from an underwritten initial public offering (“IPO”). The conversion price of the C Notes upon a Qualified Financing shall be the lesser of (i) 90% of the price per share (or unit) at which the securities in the Qualified Financing are sold, or (ii) $1.25 price per share (or unit) (whichever is less) at the holder’s selection of (i) or (ii), and 90% of the share price per share (or unit) at which securities in an IPO are first sold.

In addition to the mandatory conversion, any holder of C Notes has the option to (i) redeem any subsequent equity financing that does not result in gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 from Institutional Investors, pursuant to which the C Notes will convert into the same class of securities sold in such financing at the Applicable Qualified Financing Purchase Price or (ii) at any time, convert the notes into “Series C Units.” Each unit is comprised of one share of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“C Preferred Stock”) at a conversion price of $1.25 per unit, and one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s C Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $1.375 per share. The warrants expire four years from the initial date of the note unless amended. The Company has extended the expiration dates on certain warrants (see Note 11).

In the event of a Liquidation Event prior to the repayment or conversion of the C Notes, the holder shall be entitled to receive either (a) an amount equal to the outstanding principal and interest due, or (b) the pro rata per share amount of the proceeds of such liquidation the holders would be entitled to had they converted the C Note into Series C Units immediately prior to such Liquidation Event and exercised all warrants to purchase Series C Preferred Stock issued in connection with such conversion. At the time of issuance, no beneficial conversion charge was recorded as the fair value of the Series C unit was determined by management to be less than the stated conversion value. When the triggering event that forces conversion where both price and shares are known, a beneficial conversion charge will be recorded in earnings with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital.

On January 16, 2016, the Company issued a $500,000 C Note to an investor. The C Note carried an interest rate of 3.5% per annum and was due, together with accrued interest, on January 14, 2018. On January 21, 2016, the Company entered into a subscription agreement for the issuance of up to $10,000,000 in 3.5% Series D Convertible Promissory Notes with an investor which are convertible into Series D Preferred Stock and shares of common stock into which Series D Preferred Stock may be convertible. Upon completion of due diligence, and the payment by the investor of $9,500,000, a Series D Note in the amount of $10,000,000 carrying an interest rate of 3.5% per annum was issued. The D Note, including the unpaid interest, has a maturity date of two years. In addition, the Company issued a warrant (“Warrant”) to the holder to purchase up to 56% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company.

On March 31, 2016, the Company entered into the First Global Amendment to the Loan Documents (“Amendment”). The Amendment provided for an additional advance of $1,500,000 in proceeds in exchange for an additional C Note. The C Notes were issued on April 13, 2016 and carried an interest rate of 3.5% per annum and were due April 12, 2018. An equity bonus was also granted to be calculated based on 10% of the outstanding capital stock on a fully dilutive basis based on achieving certain milestones: the earlier to occur of FDA approval of drug development; an IPO with a valuation of a least $500,000,000; a Liquidation Event or Change of Control based upon escalating Liquidation Values ($250,000,000, $350,000,000 and $500,000,000 within 12, 24 and 36 months, respectively).

As of October 31, 2023, the C Notes of $12,189,320 are currently in default as they are beyond their payment terms. The Company is seeking to extend the maturities of the notes.

On September 16, 2016, the remaining $8,000,000 for the D Note was received less expenses. The Company already issued C Notes ($2,000,000) which upon closing became part of the D Note amounting to $10,000,000. In addition, the Company issued a Warrant to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company representing up to 56% of the then issued and outstanding shares on a converted and fully diluted basis. The exercise price is to be the lower of 70% of the price sold in an equity offering, or $1.25 per share, subject to adjustments. The minimum initial exercise of the warrant being at least $5,000,000 and at least 5% of the capital stock. In January 2019, the D Note was converted into shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $1.25.

In addition, the Investor (defined in Note 15) was granted voting proxies by holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, permitting the Investor to veto certain financing or asset transactions for a period of two years. The Amendment provides that the subscriber may appoint two additional Board Members and the Chairman of the Board, Veto Rights for any subsequent financing, sale, a change of control or other arrangement, and Equity Bonus Shares.

The Company accounted for the D Note transaction in accordance ASC 470 and ASC 815. The proceeds were allocated based on the fair value of the note, warrant, equity bonus, and a conversion feature using the Black-Scholes calculation as of the date of the transaction. Thus, the D Note was valued at $3.1 million net of deferred financing charges of approximately $125,000 at issuance. The fair value of the note was calculated using the Black-Scholes method.

During the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $89,348 and $107,094 of convertible note interest expense, respectively, recorded to interest expense on the statements of operations.

9. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company determined that the anti-dilution feature of the Line of Credit (see Note 7) should be recognized as a free- standing instrument that meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recorded the value of the anti-dilution feature as a derivative liability which will be stated at fair value at each reporting period with changes in fair value being recorded as a marked-to-market adjustment in the Company’s statement of operations.

The fair value of the derivative liability – Line of Credit is estimated using a Monte Carlo pricing model with the following assumptions:

	October 31, 2023			July 31, 2023
Market value of common stock	$	0.03		$	0.03
Expected volatility		75.9	%		75.9	%
Expected term (in years)		1.26			1.51
Risk-free interest rate		5.26	%		5.03	%

12. OPTIONS

In 2009, the Company established the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”) providing for the additional granting of incentive stock options and non-qualified options to purchase the Company’s common stock. A total of 550,000 shares were authorized under the 2009 Plan and 102,410 shares are available for grant as of October 31, 2023. In 2018, the Company established the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”) providing for the additional granting of incentive stock options and non-qualified options to purchase the Company’s common stock. A total of 450,000 shares were authorized under the 2018 Plan. In 2019, the 2018 plan was amended and an additional 200,000 shares were authorized for a total of 650,000 authorized shares and 118,249 shares are available for grant as of October 31, 2023.

The Company follows the provisions of the ASC Topic 718, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and non-employee directors, including employee stock options. Stock compensation expense based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 is generally recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.

During the period from August 1, 2023 to October 31, 2023, there were no stock options granted.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation method to value stock options and recognize compensation expense over the vesting period. The expected life represents the period that the Company’s stock-based compensation awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses a simplified method provided in Securities and Exchange Commission release, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, which averages an award’s weighted average vesting period and contractual term for “plain vanilla” share options. The expected volatility was estimated by analyzing the historic volatility of similar public biotech companies in the oncology field, considering the state of product completion. The Company used an estimated forfeiture rate of 10%.

No related tax benefits were recorded for the years ended July 31, 2023 and 2022. Generally, options are granted with an exercise price at, or in excess of, the fair value of the common stock at the date of issuance. Options typically vest over a one- to four-year period in equal increments and expire not more than 10 years after the grant date.

Other Options — The Company has issued other options to investors and others as finders’ fees (collectively) in connection with prior capital raises.

In connection with the Company’s 2003 common stock offerings, the Company entered into an option agreement with an individual in connection with identifying investors. The option agreement grants the right to purchase an option (a “Purchase Option”) to purchase 472,000 Class A Options (“Class A Options”), which allows the purchase of 0.25 shares of common stock for each Class A Option at $11.00 per share. In order to secure this Class A Option, a Purchase Option must initially be purchased for $.005 per potential share of Class A options. Upon exercise of each Class A Option, a right is granted to one Class B Option (“Class B Options”), which allow the purchase of 0.25 shares of common stock for each Class B Option at $12.50 per share. The expiration date of the Class A Options is the later of October 29, 2005 or six months from the date the Company’s shares become publicly traded. The Class B Options expire 180 days from the exercise of the Class A Options.

In 2003, 625,000 options (the “Options”) were granted at a strike price of $11.00 per share to a 2003 investor. These Options are set to expire 180 days following the closing of an IPO, or from the date the Company’s shares become publicly traded.

13. INCOME TAXES

As of July 31, 2022, the Company has approximately $208,600,000 of federal NOLs that will begin to expire in 2023 and approximately $6,200,000 of New Jersey NOLs that will begin to expire in 2043. The federal NOLs generated in the current year will not expire. The Company has undergone ownership changes and has determined that a “change in ownership” as defined by IRC (“International Residential Code”) Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, did occur during 2008. Accordingly, about $19,875,000 of the Company’s NOLs carryforwards are limited and the Company can only use $3,601,883 for the first five years from the ownership change and $1,488,550 per year going forward. Therefore, all of the limited NOLs are now available. The Company has R&D credit carryovers for federal and New Jersey of approximately $11,826,000 and $411,000 respectively. The federal will begin to expire in 2029 and the state in 2043.

The Company did not have a liability related to unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2023 and July 31, 2023. Further, because the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets, the effect of implementing FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48) would have simply been a reduction of such allowance by the amount. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The Company records interest accrued and penalties related to unrecorded tax benefits in the interest expense and the operating expense. The Company had not accrued any interest or penalties related to unrecognized benefits. The Company is no longer subject to federal income tax assessment for years before 2020 and 2019 for New Jersey income tax assessment. However, since the Company has incurred NOLs in every year since inception, all of its income tax returns are subject to examination and adjustments by the Internal Revenue Service for at least three years following the year in which the tax attributes are utilized. The Company does not believe that there will be a material change in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

14. COMMITMENTS

License Agreements — The Company is a party to two license agreements in connection with certain technology being used for products under development and is required to make certain annual maintenance payments. In addition, royalty payments, calculated on a low single digit percentage of net sales, as defined in the respective agreements, will be required upon the commercialization of licensed technology. Sublicensing fees are calculated and due based upon a percentage of gross sublicense fees. The Company expenses license obligation payments to research and development on the statements of operations.

One worldwide license agreement requires the Company to reimburse the other party for costs associated with filing and defending various patents worldwide. Payment obligations under this license agreement remain in effect until the last underlying patents granted under the license agreement expire in their respective countries. Currently, the last patent expired in 2019. License maintenance fees are currently $20,000 per year and continue for the term of the agreement. The license maintenance fees are replaced by minimum royalties of $10,000 during the first year following governmental approval to market products and escalate to $1,000,000 during the term of the agreement. The Company is also responsible for sub licensing fees. The Company may credit each annual license maintenance fee in full against all royalties and sublicensing fees due during the same calendar year. The Company may terminate the license agreement upon 90 days’ notice. Either party may terminate the license agreement if the other party commits any material breach of any covenant or promise and does not cure such breach within 30 days of the receipt of written notice of such material breach. In May 2017, the Company renegotiated the agreement referred to as the “second license.” In exchange for a waiver of certain product development milestones, the Company modified the agreement to pay a low single digit percentage royalty for a duration of five years on Net Sales of product sold after the expiration of the licensed patent and potentially up to eight years. As of October 31, 2023, there are no products being marketed which are covered by the patents under the license agreement.

The remaining minimum payments required under the license agreement, assuming the agreements are not terminated by the Company, excluding any escalation for receiving government marketing approval subsequent to July 31, 2018, are $20,000 per year. The agreement may continue until January 1, 2029 (if not earlier terminated).

The Company’s second license continues until the termination of the later of the last to expire patent or royalty obligation under the agreement on a country-by-country basis (currently, or as otherwise provided in the license agreement). Fifty percent of the maintenance fee payments, up to $1.1 million, may be credited against the potential future royalty payments, calculated on a single digit percentage of net sales, as defined, that the Company would have to make to the license holder should royalties be paid. The agreement may be terminated on 15 days’ written notice after default by the other party if said default is not cured within 30 days of receipt of notice by the defaulting party. In addition, the Company may terminate the agreement on 15 days’ written notice to the license holder. Royalties are due based on Gross Sales, as defined, for products sold relating to patented and unpatented technology, and shall terminate on the 15th anniversary of the first commercial sale of the product in the corresponding country or territory. Sublicense payments are due in connection with any sublicense fees received relating to patented and non-patented products related to the patented technology and proprietary know-how, as provided in the agreement. As of July 31, 2023, there were no products being marketed which are covered by the patents under the license agreement. There were no additional annual license maintenance fees required beyond 2010.

In addition, Ventures (as discussed in Note 1) had an operating agreement with Altira Capital and Consulting LLC (“Altira”) that provided for the payment of royalties to Altira in exchange for the assignment of intellectual property to the Company. At the time of the operating agreement, Altira was owned by two officers (the Chief Executive Officer and the President) of the Company. The operating agreement was terminated when Ventures and the Company merged in 2002. At the merger date, the Company agreed to continue the specific section of the operating agreement dealing with the payment of royalties to Altira, including the establishment of a royalty pool for certain inventors. Altira would receive a royalty as part of a newly created inventor’s royalty pool to include specific inventors of Company technology for the products and services developed in part by certain Altira principals and other inventors. The Company is obligated to pay royalties based upon percentage (low single digit) of net sales, as defined in the royalty agreement. The royalty obligations remain in effect, on a country-by-country basis, until the last to expire patent claims associated with such products and services expire or are no longer in force. No payments have been made in connection with a royalty pool. As of October 31, 2023, the last to expire patent claim is to remain in force until fiscal 2034.

Lease Obligations — The Company entered into a 10-year lease agreement on June 1, 2006 for office and laboratory space in Cranbury, New Jersey. Such agreement’s initial term expired during July 2016 and was amended in September 2016. The amended lease agreement renews the lease for an additional seven years commencing on August 1, 2016 and ending on July 31, 2023, which was extended July 2023 to commence on November 30, 2023.

On September 8, 2023, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the purposes of leasing office space for a two-year period ending September 30, 2025. Monthly rental payments are $2,581. The agreement does not contain an option for extension.

The assets and liabilities from operating leases are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of twelve months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet.

The Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate determined using the Company’s most recent borrowing rate for their convertible loan.

Operating Leases

The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases is 1.9 years, with a weighted-average discount rate of 7.5%. The Company incurred lease expense for its operating leases of $2,851 and paid cash in the amount of $2,851 during the three months ended October 31, 2023.

The following table presents information about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from the Company’s operating leases as of October 31, 2023(in thousands):
