ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Our Origins

After several years of extensive research into the specific processes and technologies of the evolving 3D bioprinting and regenerative medicine fields, medical manufacturing industry veteran Steven Morris recognized the potential of this emerging market. This research, along with more than 15 years of extensive hands-on experience in the medical field, led to the formation of BIOLIFE4D in 2016, a regenerative medicine 3D bioprinting company, whose goal is to facilitate the biological printing of viable human organs, beginning with a heart, for utilization in cardiotoxicity testing and ultimately, if FDA approval is obtained, patient-specific human transplantation. In plain terms, our mission is to make human heart replacement affordable and accessible– saving lives and giving mankind the gift of time.

We plan to continue to leverage and optimize what we believe is the best research and technology available to us, capitalize on new advancements in digital capabilities, and bring together highly experienced industry specialists in an innovative and creative way to drive a single shared vision to revolutionize medical care for the benefit of all humanity.

We have established a scientific advisory board with specific experience in life-sciences, biomedical engineering, and tissue engineering and we have also engaged specialists in mechanical engineering, software technologies, and applications engineering. (See biographies of our Scientific Advisory Board in “Management.”)

Preliminary Milestones

In June 2018, we announced the achievement of our first initial milestone, the proof of concept for our cardiac patch. The significance of the cardiac patch was, among other things, a validation that we were able to deploy the process central to our technology, namely taking human specialized cells (i.e., mono-nuclear blood cells) and reprogramming them into induced adult stem cells (induced pluripotent stem cells or “iPS”); and then reprogramming them again (differentiation) into the specialized cells which make up the human heart (i.e., cardiomyocytes, etc.); and then putting those cells into a specially formulated “bioink” creating the 3D aqueous environment similar to that which is found inside the human body; and then using the bioink to 3D bioprint living human cardiac tissue.

Immediately thereafter, we turned our focus on the “mini-heart,” a scaled-down version of a human heart bioengineered using essentially the same process as the cardiac patch. Upon commercialization, the mini-heart could be significant in two ways: first, we would be able to announce to the world that we successfully bioengineered a human organ (albeit a scaled down version) and second, it represents a significant short-term path to market for us and our ability to potentially generate revenue. We hope to begin initial commercialization of our mini-heart either late 2023 or early 2024.

We introduced our first version of the mini-heart in 2019 and plan to introduce two versions of the mini-heart in the future. FDA approval is not required for the mini-heart to initially get to the market and there is no regulatory path that needs to be followed. This is because the mini-heart is not intended to ever be used in humans and, at least at the onset, will not replace any current FDA requirements for cardiotoxicity testing.

The first version of the mini-heart represents our proof of concept and was completed in summer 2019. It enabled us to announce that we achieved this incredible milestone. While this initial version included the major components of the heart, it was not fully functional.

The second version of the mini-heart is expected to be released and ready for testing in late 2023 or early 2024. After testing is completed, this second version on the mini-heart is planned to be released initially to the domestic U.S. market and then marketed internationally. This second version of the mini-heart will be a refined and further optimized version of the proof of concept and has the purpose of being able to provide pharma better predictive results for cardiotoxicity screening as compared to the current animal model, thus potentially saving this industry billions of dollars in lost research and development (“R&D”) costs and lost time in bringing novel vaccines, drugs and therapies to the point of human clinical trials which had a positive indication in the animal trials but ultimately fail in human trials. While there is not a required regulatory pathway needed to initially release the mini-heart for commercialization because it will be a test that pharmaceutical companies can use in addition to FDA required protocols, it is our intention to nevertheless work with the FDA utilizing this version of the mini-heart to determine the necessary protocol and testing that the FDA would require to potentially replace their current gold standard animal-based cardiotoxicity model with our mini-heart model.

3

The third version is planned to be a mini-heart that, instead of representing a healthy human heart model for testing purposes, will have abnormalities bioengineered directly into the mini-heart. The applications for this version are potentially substantial as well, providing a predictive model for people working on therapies for specific abnormalities so they can test their potential therapies on a model which has that specific abnormality.

Should we complete protocols established by the FDA to enable the mini-heart to replace the associated animal testing, the market would expand geometrically not only in the U.S. but internationally. It is common for other countries’ regulatory agencies to follow suit with testing practices utilized in the U.S., thus potentially making our mini-heart a global gold standard worldwide for cardiotoxicity testing purposes. This said, while we work with the FDA, we may also have the opportunity to work with any and all other regulatory agencies around the world to have them implement the mini-heart as their standard prior to the FDA approving it in the U.S.

Currently we are working with the industry to provide the necessary protocols required by pharmaceutical companies to utilize the mini-heart for their testing purposes. For instance, we will be provided several compounds which tested positive (indicated safe) with the animal model and indeed tested positive (safe) in humans, as well as compounds which tested positive in animals but failed in humans. The positive in animal and positive in human tests provide correlation, the “false positive” is what our mini-heart should be able to provide better predictive results to the industry and could save the industry billions of dollars, and could save countless wasted years chasing therapies which could ultimately fail in humans. There is additional electrophysiology, action potential, contractility, and other parameters currently being established in order to not only satisfy cardiotoxicity indicators but efficacy indicators as well.

We have two pending U.S. provisional patent applications:

1.	U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63/342,228, filed May 16, 2022, titled “Methods and Compositions for Organ Printing;” and
2.	U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63/440,501, filed January 23, 2023, titled “Bioprinting with Cellulose.”

Prior to expiration of the provisional patent application for “Methods and Compositions for Organ Printing,” we plan to file a corresponding nonprovisional application for the patent within the 12 month pendency period.

Our first provisional patent application is for the method to bioprint mini-hearts. We developed a new bioink based on alginate and optimized parameters for the bioprinting of mini-hearts using extrusion based bioprinting. The provisional patent application describes our methods and parameters for extrusion based bioprinting of mini-hearts using an alginate based bioink.

Our second provisional patent application is for a bioink based on cellulose. We developed and optimized a new bioink with cellulose as the key component. This provisional patent application describes the composition of the bioink, along with sample prints conducted using this bioink. We believe that this bioink that was developed in our lab will have applications in the production of our mini-hearts for cardiotoxicity testing.

A provisional patent application is an initial patent application filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in order to establish a filing date, but does not begin the patent examination process.  For an invention to be patentable, it must be novel and nonobvious with respect to the prior art. Prior art includes publications, patents, and certain other material that was publicly available before the filing date of a patent application. Thus, by filing a provisional patent application and securing a filing date, the applicant limits the universe of prior art that may otherwise impact the patentability of the invention described in the application. A provisional patent application expires after one year, by which time the applicant needs to continue the patent process by filing a nonprovisional application. The nonprovisional application will be entitled to the benefit of the filing date of the provisional application to the extent that the invention described in the nonprovisional application is also described in the provisional application. In other words, when the nonprovisional application is examined by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (or foreign patent offices that similarly recognize the priority filing date of the provisional application), prior art will be limited to those items that were available before the filing date of the provisional patent application - newer art that first became available after the filing date of the provisional patent application would not be available to undermine the patentability of the claimed invention.

FDA Timeline Expectations

We are not aware of any current FDA regulatory requirements for sale or use of 3D printed organs. GLP data is required in the development of any human therapeutic and we plan to design our technology platform to support compliance with GLPAs. As we move into clinical and commercial settings, full compliance with the FDA’s cGTP (current Good Tissue Practices) and cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines will be required for suitable design and documentation for clinical use of our products. When we do, in fact, attempt to acquire FDA approvals, this process could take many years. While our initial release of our mini-heart is not expected to require FDA approval, each item we bioengineer for human transplantation will require FDA approval and, as such, , we will not generate any revenues from anu such events for at least five years, if not more.

On December 4, 2017, the FDA released a statement regarding its policies related to 3D bioprinting. The FDA is currently making an effort to provide a comprehensive policy framework to manufacturers and a more efficacious pathway to getting state-of-the-art medical products into the hands of patients and healthcare providers. The FDA also plans to review the regulatory issues related to the bioprinting of biological, cellular, and tissue-based products in order to determine whether additional guidance is needed beyond the recently released regulatory framework on regenerative medicine medical products. The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research has recently interacted with more than a half-dozen manufacturers who have expressed interest in using 3D printing in some capacity to produce their medical products.¹

Compassionate Use Exemption

At the appropriate time, after appropriate lab tests and trials regarding animals are complete, we might look to the use of a Compassionate Use Exemption for the fully bioengineered heart. Compassionate Use Exemption may be used when a patient is faced with a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and has no other options. The compassionate use provision may allow us to test our products on patients where their treating physician believes the device will save the life of the patient or if there is no other alternative.

The compassionate use provision provides a path to accessing investigational devices that have not received full FDA approval or clearance for patients for whom the treating physician believes the device may provide a benefit in treating and/or diagnosing their disease or condition. There is no guarantee the FDA will provide us this type of clearance as it is traditionally used for devices.

Right to Try Act

The Right to Try Act, or the Trickett Wendler, Frank Mongiello, Jordan McLinn, and Matthew Bellina Right to Try Act, was signed into law May 30, 2018. This law is another way for patients who have been diagnosed with life-threatening diseases or conditions who have tried all approved treatment options and who are unable to participate in a clinical trial to access certain unapproved treatments.²

The Right to Try Act permits/allows eligible patients to have access to eligible investigational drugs.

An eligible patient is a patient who has:

- Been diagnosed with a life-threatening disease or condition;

- Exhausted approved treatment options and is unable to participate in a clinical trial involving the eligible investigational drug (this must be certified by a physician who is in good standing with their licensing organization or board and who will not be compensated directly by the manufacturer for certifying); and

- Has provided, or their legally authorized representative has provided, written informed consent regarding the eligible investigational drug to the treating physician.

² U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Right to Try, January 14, 2020.

5

An eligible investigational drug is an investigational drug:

- For which a Phase 1 clinical trial has been completed;

- That has not been approved or licensed by the FDA for any use;

- For which an application has been filed with the FDA or is under investigation in a clinical trial that is intended to form the primary basis of a claim of effectiveness in support of FDA approval and is the subject of an active investigational new drug application submitted to the FDA; and

- Whose active development or production is ongoing, and that has not been discontinued by the manufacturer or placed on clinical hold by the FDA.

Medical Devices

We believe that our future products will be regulated in the United States similarly as Class III medical devices by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes based upon controls the FDA considers necessary to reasonably ensure their safety and effectiveness. Class I devices are subject to general controls such as labeling, adherence to good manufacturing practices and maintenance of product complaint records, but are usually exempt from premarket notification requirements. Class II devices are subject to the same general controls and also are subject to special controls such as performance standards and may also require clinical testing prior to approval. Class III devices are subject to the highest level of controls because they are life-sustaining or life-supporting devices. Class III devices require rigorous preclinical and clinical testing prior to their approval and generally require a pre-market approval, or PMA, or a PMA supplement approval by the FDA prior to their sale.

Manufacturers must file an Investigational Device Exemption, or IDE, application if human clinical studies of a device are required and if the FDA considers investigational use of the device to represent significant risk to the patient. The IDE application must be supported by data, typically including the results of animal and nonclinical laboratory testing of the device. The animal and nonclinical laboratory testing must meet the FDA’s good laboratory practice requirements. If the IDE application is approved by the FDA, human clinical studies may begin at a specific number of investigational sites with a maximum number of patients, as approved by the FDA. The clinical studies must be conducted under the review of an independent institutional review board to ensure the protection of patients’ rights.

Generally, upon completion of these human clinical studies, a manufacturer seeks approval of a Class III medical device from the FDA by submitting a PMA or PMA supplement application. A PMA application must be supported by extensive data, including the results of the clinical studies, as well as testing and literature to establish the safety and effectiveness of the device. PMA approval may be conditioned upon the conduct of certain post-approval studies, such as long-term follow-up studies.

As an alternative to the PMA approval process, manufacturers may apply for a Humanitarian Use Device, or HUD, designation and a corresponding HDE. An HUD is a designation for a medical device intended to benefit patients in the treatment or diagnosis of a disease or condition that affects or is manifested in fewer than 4,000 individuals in the United States per year. An applicant for an HUD designation must provide documentation that the device meets the criteria of an HUD as well as provide a description of the disease or condition the device is meant to treat, along with proposed indications and the reasons why the device is needed for its intended population. Once an HUD designation is obtained for the device, the device can be submitted for an HDE. An HDE application is similar to an application for a PMA, but is exempt from the effectiveness requirements of a PMA. Instead, the FDA must determine that the device does not expose patients to an unreasonable or significant risk of illness or injury, and that the probable benefit to health outweighs the risk of injury or illness from its use, taking into account the probable risks and benefits of currently available devices or alternative forms of treatment. “Reasonably obtainable” clinical data are required to support an HDE application. These data may be obtained from the clinical use of the device for a different HDE-approved indication or from a clinical study of the HUD designated device. If the clinical data are available from the clinical use of the device for a different indication, the HDE can be granted without an IDE. If clinical data are to be obtained from a clinical study of the HUD designated device, an IDE application is required to request approval for the clinical study. When the clinical study is completed, we can submit an HDE application for approval to market the device as an HUD.

6

Obtaining an HDE designation allows the manufacturer to market the device as an HUD up to a maximum of 4,000 patients in the United States per year. However, before a facility is permitted to use an HDE-approved device, other than for emergency use, it must receive approval from its applicable Institutional Review Board, or IRB. This could limit the number of patients eligible to receive an HDE-approved device each year. The device manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that an HDE-approved device is administered only in facilities having an IRB constituted and acting in accordance with the FDA’s regulations governing IRBs, including continuing review of use of the device.

Also, unless an HDE-approved device satisfies certain eligibility criteria, it cannot be sold for an amount that exceeds the costs of research and development, fabrication, and distribution of the device. In order to be sold at a price in excess of these costs, the HDE-approved device must satisfy one of the following criteria, which we refer to as the HDE Eligibility Criteria:

● The device is intended for the treatment or diagnosis of a disease or condition that occurs in pediatric patients or in a pediatric subpopulation, and such device is labeled for use in pediatric patients or in a pediatric subpopulation in which the disease or condition occurs; or

● The device is intended for the treatment or diagnosis of a disease or condition that does not occur in pediatric patients, or that occurs in pediatric patients in such numbers that the development of the device for such patients is impossible, highly impracticable, or unsafe.

We believe that FDA regulations will require us to register as a medical device manufacturer with the FDA. Because of this, the FDA will most likely inspect us on a routine basis for compliance with the Quality System Regulation, or QSR. These regulations require that we manufacture our products and maintain related documentation in a prescribed manner with respect to manufacturing, testing and control activities. We have undergone and expect to continue to undergo regular QSR inspections in connection with the manufacture of our products at our facility. Further, the FDA most likely will require us to comply with various FDA regulations regarding labeling. Failure by us or by our suppliers to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA or state authorities, which may include any of the following sanctions:

● warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;

● customer notifications, recall or seizure of our products;

● operating restrictions, partial suspension, or total shutdown of production;

● delay in processing applications for new products or modifications to existing products;

● mandatory product recalls;

● withdrawing approvals that have already been granted; or

● criminal prosecution.

The Medical Device Reporting laws and regulations require us to provide information to the FDA on deaths or serious injuries alleged to have been associated with the use of our devices, as well as product malfunctions that likely would cause or contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur. In addition, the FDA prohibits an approved device from being marketed for off-label use. The FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses, and a company that is found to have improperly promoted off-label uses may be subject to significant liability, including substantial monetary penalties and criminal prosecution.

We will also be subject to other federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and recommendations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory, and manufacturing practices.

Market Drivers

Cardiovascular disease is the leading underlying cause of death in the U.S.³ and accounts for about one-third of all deaths worldwide.⁴ In the U.S. alone, heart disease claims more than 659,000 lives every year.⁴ And only around 5,000 cardiac transplants occur worldwide every year.⁵ Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women globally.⁶ In fact, cardiovascular diseases surpass the annual mortality rate of all types of cancer combined.⁷ Just in the U.S., one person dies of a heart disease-related event every 36 seconds.⁸ In China, cardiovascular disease claims a life every ten seconds.⁹ In 2030, the global cost of cardiac disease is set to rise to $818 billion.¹⁰ This includes the cost of healthcare services, medicines, and lost productivity due to death. This is a global problem.

Optimizing a proposed groundbreaking cardiac tissue regeneration and organ replacement process, we plan to address a critical unmet need in the treatment of this devastating disease. While we plan to focus on the human heart, the process may also be leveraged to address numerous other medical challenges.

Ultimately, by providing viable tissues and/or organs bioprinted from a patient’s own cells to replace damaged organs, we plan to tap into a global market serving the continually expanding global human population.

Current human organ transplant capabilities – with their myriad challenges, high costs and other deficiencies – are ripe for the kind of innovation and process optimization that we look to deliver.

The global transplantation market size is expected to reach $19.52 billion by 2028 and the market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 11.5% from 2021 to 2028.¹¹ In the U.S. alone, more than 100,000 people are on an organ transplant waiting list and many others need to be on the list but do not qualify due to disqualifying factors.¹² In 2009, 25 people per day died while on the waiting list in the U.S. alone.¹²

And even for those fortunate enough to receive a heart donor transplant, approximately 50% still die within ten years of the transplant. ¹² Our proposed process specifically seeks to address this challenge. Medical applications for 3D printing are expanding rapidly and are expected to revolutionize healthcare.¹³

Separate from our primary focus on organ transplants, we could potentially leverage its process to also participate in pharmaceutical discovery and address the need for better predictive tools that pharmaceutical companies can use to more efficiently test drug efficacy and/or toxicity. In 2020, the median capitalized research and development investment to bring a new drug to market was estimated at $985 million and the FDA approved 355 new drugs and biologics from 2009 through 2018.¹⁴ In 2019, the pharmaceuticals industry spent $83 billion for research and development drug discovery.¹⁵ Human tissues created by our process could make drug compound evaluation faster, more accurate and less risky than conventional testing methods used by pharmaceutical companies.

Yet another potentially significant opportunity that our process could provide is an alternative to pharmaceutical testing on animals. The FDA is committed to animal welfare in research by reducing, replacing and/or refining the use of animals in research. The agency is optimistic that cultivating new research approaches can help continue to reduce the need for animal testing.¹⁶

Competitive Positioning and Value Proposition

We are purpose-driven, with leadership that has set its sights on a single shared vision. We continue to assemble a best-in-class team with a history of success, a team we believe can navigate their way along the forefront of an evolution in life-sciences technology, and who can move and pivot quickly without the management bureaucracy or corporate red tape that might prevent some of our competitors from being efficient, innovative, or creative.

Standing ready to capitalize on a potentially significant market opportunity, we plan to take advantage of these favorable competitive dynamics for success. We plan to leverage and optimize the best available research and technology to revolutionize medical care through innovation and introduce a potential paradigm shift in three-dimensional patient-specific organ bioprinting.

We plan to strategically position ourselves at the center of an unprecedented convergence of regenerative medicine, adult stem cell biology, additive manufacturing, and computing technology – all having reached a level of maturity whereby we are convinced that commercially viable solutions can be created through optimization, not invention.

History documents many examples of commercially viable businesses – even entirely new industries – that were born not from an invention itself, but from the optimization of an evolutionary process. Consider these examples:

● In 1901, Ransom Eli Olds invented the assembly line; in 1913, Henry Ford optimized a process that made it commercially viable.

● In 1879, David Edward Hughes invented the radio; in 1895, Guglielmo Marconi optimized a process that made it commercially viable.

● In 1849, Antonio Meucci invented the telephone; in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell optimized a process that made it commercially viable.

● In 1802, Sir Humphry Davy invented the incandescent light; in 1879, Thomas Edison optimized a process that made it commercially viable.

● In 1608, Hans Lippershey invented the telescope; in 1609, Galileo Galilei optimized a process that made it commercially viable.

Our objective is not to invent new technology, but rather to improve, optimize, adapt, and capitalize on current technologies to create a commercially viable and sustainable process solution.

3D Bioprinting Optimized by BIOLIFE4D

For years, scientists, engineers, and hobbyists alike have been printing objects using 3D printing devices. The 3D printing industry alone has a projected worth of over $30 billion by 2022.¹⁷

That technology has more recently been put to use in applications involving living tissue. Today, advancements in regenerative medicine, adult stem cell biology and additive manufacturing have already enabled specialized 3D printing to produce human body parts including multilayered skin, bone, vascular grafts, tracheal splints, heart tissue, and cartilaginous structures – and even simple organs.¹⁸

By definition, 3D bioprinting is the process of creating cell patterns in a confined space using 3D printing technologies, thereby preserving cell function and viability within the printed construct. 3D bioprinting applies advances in regenerative medicine, adult stem cell biology, additive manufacturing, and computing technology to the development of functional biological structures with the potential to restore, maintain, improve, and/or replace existing organ function. 3D bioprinting is an emerging, groundbreaking strategy in tissue engineering, allowing the fabrication of living constructs with an unprecedented degree of complexity and accuracy.¹⁹

Everything in the human body is made up of cells, and nature itself has been evolving the capability of programming cells to do specific jobs for millions of years. The human embryo is the best example of this biological manufacturing process. Every cell begins as a stem cell and then is biologically programmed to do a specific job through the natural biologic process inside the body.

During the 3D bioprinting process, we plan to replicate the same conditions in vitro (outside of the body) as occur naturally in vivo (within the body) while promoting natural biologic processes in an accelerated timeframe and in a manner that allows the cells to be specialized for a desired purpose.

We believe we will not have to make an exact copy or even recreate every feature set of the desired organ; it will only need to facilitate the minimum feature set which recreates the core properties of the organ. It is important to note that we do not believe we need to invent new technology but rather improve, adopt, and optimize current technologies to create what we plan to be a commercially viable and sustainable process.

Transformative Benefits of 3D Bioprinting Human Tissue

Delivering potentially transformative medical benefits, the 3D bioprinting process optimized by us could potentially:

● Eliminate rejection of transplant by utilizing patient’s own cells to produce an organ;

● Eradicate immunosuppressant therapy requirement (and bad side effects) for the patient;

● Provide functionality with capabilities very similar to those in the original organ;

● Decrease wait time of patients for human organs;

● Minimize need for organ donors;

● Increase patient longevity without compromising quality of life;

● Potentially eliminate the need for pharmaceutical testing on animals; and

● Allow for patient-specific pharmaceutical testing.

The Safe Utilization of a Patient’s Own Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells play a safe, non-controversial and important role in our planned bioprinting process.

Because every cell in the human body has the same number of genes and the same DNA, recent discoveries have shown that every cell has the potential to be “re-programmed” and transformed into essentially any other cell. Originally, this kind of stem cell research was limited to cells taken from human embryos, creating a moral and ethical dilemma for many – but no longer. Our process would not involve any embryotic stem cells.

In 2006, Japanese Nobel Prize-winning stem cell researcher Dr. Shinya Yamanaka discovered that by introducing a few genes via a chemical procedure in lab, mature adult specialized cells (i.e., blood cells) could be reprogrammed to become adult stem cells.²⁰ This development proved to be a major breakthrough that would spur medical advances such as the 3D bioprinting processes we are developing.

Adult stem cells, regardless of their source, have three general properties: they are capable of dividing and renewing themselves; they are unspecialized; and under certain conditions they can become tissue- or organ-specific cells with specialized functions. In short, these adult stem cells could be re-programmed into developing desired specialized cell types such as cardiomyocytes (heart cells). Adult stem cells that are induced in this manner are called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS).

In the planned process, iPS cells will be redirected into organ-specific cells through a process called differentiation which refers to the process by which one type of cell can be changed into different types of specialized cells. After the iPS cells are transformed into the specific organ cells desired, they are monitored to confirm they are the desired organ cell type and further tested to ensure they are viable and safe. These organ-specific cells are then incubated where they continue to divide and multiply in number to make sufficient quantities as needed to create the bio-ink used during the 3D bioprinting process.

The disciplines of 3D bioprinting and surgery have witnessed incremental transformations over the last century. 3D bioprinting is a convergence of biology and engineering technologies, mirroring the clinical need to produce viable biological tissue through advancements in printing, regenerative medicine, and materials science.²¹

High-Level Bioprinted Organ Replacement Process Overview

Our proposed bioprinted organ replacement process begins with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test used to create a detailed three-dimensional image of a patient’s original heart. Using this image, a computer software program will construct a digital model of a new heart for the patient, matching the shape and size of the original. Next, doctors safely take cells from the patient via a blood sample, and leveraging recent stem cell research breakthroughs, we plan to reprogram those blood cells and convert them to create specialized heart cells. A “bio-ink” is created using these specialized cells, which is then fed into a 3D bioprinter to print a heart with the dimensions obtained from the MRI. The heart is then matured in a bioreactor, conditioned to make it stronger and readied for patient transplant, subject to the final determination and approval of the FDA and comparable regulatory bodies.

Detailed Bioprinted Organ Replacement Process Overview

1.	An MRI scan would be performed and a blood sample collected from the patient.
2.	Because every cell in a human body has the same number of genes and the same DNA, every cell has the potential to be converted to essentially any other cell. In the second step of the process, the blood cells from the sample would be converted to unspecialized adult induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) – cells that can ultimately be changed back into specialized cells of our choice.

3.	Through a process called differentiation, iPS cells would be converted to almost any type of specialized cell in the human body, in this case cardiomyocytes (heart cells).
4.	These cells would then be combined with nutrients and other necessary factors in a liquid environment (hydrogel) to keep the cells alive and viable throughout the process. This bio-ink of living cells would be sustained in this aqueous 3D environment.

5.	The bio-ink would then be loaded into a bioprinter, a highly specialized 3D printer designed to protect the viable living cells during the printing process.
6.	An appropriately sized heart would then be printed one layer at a time, guided by computer software following the specific dimensions obtained from the MRI. Since the heart cells would not be fused together at this point, a biocompatible and biodegradable scaffolding would be included with each layer to support the cells and hold them in place.
7.	When the process is complete, the heart would be moved to a bioreactor which would mimic the nutrient and oxygen-rich conditions inside a human body.
8.	The individual cells would begin self-organizing and fusing into networks which would connect to form living tissue. The cells would even begin to beat in unison.
9.	Once this process is far enough along, the scaffolding would be dissolved leaving only the fully formed heart.
10.	A successful patient transplant would then be possible and carried out by a transplant surgeon. Given the original MRI and blood sample, the new heart should be both a perfect fit and a perfect genetic match for the patient – free from the risk of rejection or the need for immunosuppressant therapy that has plagued conventional organ transplant methods.

Partnerships and Collaborations

In November 2017, we established a core facility partnership with Northwestern University. As part of this core facility partnership, no intellectual property or royalties were or will be transferred to or from any entity. We have not nor will we receive any funding or other monetary support as a result of this core facility partnership. This core facility partnership provides us with access to and use of the core research facilities and equipment at Northwestern University. The core partnership agreement remains in effect until one party provides the other party 20 days advance notice of its intent to terminate the agreement. We will attempt to establish additional research and development agreements with other universities, government backed institutions, hospitals, foundations, and pharmaceutical companies.

Competitive Landscape and Distinctions

There are other participants in the 3D bioprinting industry and adjacent fields, and it is important to make the distinction between what many of these companies do in comparison to our focus.

For example, some of the firms listed below tend to focus on creating tissues for pharmaceutical testing; some focus on building and selling 3D bioprinting hardware devices; and others use 3D printers to create artificial limbs or models of organs.

In contrast, our ultimate goal is creating living, viable, fully-formed organs for transplant.

Our business and research competitors include the following:

● Advanced Solutions Life Sciences (U.S.)

● Aspect Biosystems (Canada)

● Bio3D Technologies (U.S.)

12

● 3D Systems/Allevi (formerly BioBots) (U.S.)

● Cyfuse Biomedical K.K. (Japan)

● Organovo (U.S.)

● Rokit (South Korea)

● Novoheart (Canada)

● 3D Bioprinting Solutions (Russia)

● Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (U.S.)

U.S. Regulatory and Risk Considerations

At the time of this filing, bioprinted tissues used in research and education require no U.S. FDA approval during animal and in-vitro (outside of the body) testing. In a 2014 paper entitled “Bioprinting: Organs on Demand,” James S. Gwinn, III discussed risk and safety considerations involving bioprinting while conducting research for a program sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.²²

“The FDA is tasked with evaluating all devices, including any that utilize 3D bioprinting technology, for safety and effectiveness, and appropriate benefit and risk determination, regardless of the manufacturing technologies used. Safety is paramount at the FDA with somewhat less emphasis placed on form and function. Safety, form, and function are relative terms, though. Over 28,000 times last year, the FDA allowed organ donations because they made the difference between life and death in otherwise terminally-ill patients. The agency allowed these transplants knowing full-well that virtually every organ transplant ever performed would likely fail without a near-constant stream of medication.”

Gwinn continued:

“Ultimately, the decision that must be made with regard to approving bioprinted organs could boil down to risk versus reward. The first patient-specific organs made via bioprinting may pose substantial risks to the patients. These patients will most likely have exhausted all other options before considering this method of treatment.”

Summary of Potential Profit Centers

While it is our intention to focus on creating 3D bioprinted organs for life-saving transplants, the associated process could also lend itself to additional revenue streams which could include:

● Bioprinted tissues for drug testing and cell based therapies;

● Biocompatibility, cytotoxicity, pre-clinical studies, predictive modeling;

● Bioprinted tissues for patient-specific drug testing;

● Bioprinted tissues for animal-free cosmetic testing;

● Bioprinted tissues for regenerative medicine, including tissue replacement products for individualized surgical implantation;

● Bioprinting of human organs for specialized testing purposes (usage other than transplants);

Properties

We entered into a month-to-month lease for office space during 2019 in Lincolnshire, Illinois. The lease commitment is for $825 per month.

We also have a month-to-month lease for laboratory space in Houston, Texas for approximately $6,900 per month.

Seasonality

We do not experience seasonal variations in our quarterly operating results and capital requirements.

Employees

As of the date of this report, we have seven full-time employees, five part-time employees, and eight advisors. None of our employees are members of a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Legal Proceedings

On August 28, 2020, holders of promissory notes totaling $600,000 filed a lawsuit naming us as a defendant alleging breach of contract in Cook County, Illinois. The file number is 2020L006166. Several of the noteholders’ cases were dismissed with prejudice. As of the date of this report, two noteholders with $375,000 of notes remain in the lawsuit. The matter is still ongoing. Discovery is ongoing. We brought a Motion for Sanctions due to delays against the plaintiffs which was granted and we were awarded attorney’s fees. We have now brought a Second Motion for Sanctions due to further delays by the plaintiffs. A status court date is set for May 1, 2023.

Other than the above, we are not party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, or results of operation. However, we may from time to time after the date of this report become subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. One or more unfavorable outcomes in any claim or litigation against us could have a material adverse effect for the period in which such claim or litigation is resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention, and may materially adversely affect our reputation, even if resolved in our favor.

Accountants

On February 7, 2022, our board of directors approved the dismissal of IndigoSpire CPA Group LLC (“Indigo”) as our auditors, effective immediately.

Indigo was first engaged by us on November 5, 2019. No audit report of Indigo for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the interim period preceding the date of such dismissal and the two fiscal years prior, (i) there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between us and Indigo on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Indigo would have caused Indigo to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreement in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such periods and (ii) except with respect to the restatement of our audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

We provided Indigo with a copy of the disclosure contained herein and requested that Indigo furnish a letter stating whether or not it agreed with the statements herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. On February 8, 2022, Indigo provided its letter stating it agreed with the statements herein. On February 9, 2022, we disclosed the change in our certifying auditor on Form 1-U filed with the SEC and included a copy of the February 8, 2022 letter received from Indio as an exhibit thereto.

Engagement of New Independent Registered Accounting Firm

In February 2022, our board of directors approved the appointment of L J Soldinger Associates, LLC (“Soldinger”) as our new independent registered public accounting firm. Prior to adoption by the new board, our sole board member and controlling shareholder, engaged Soldinger in December 2021 to audit our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and continue to engage them as our auditor.

During our three most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, neither we nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted with Soldinger regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, in connection with which either a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Soldinger concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our financial statements. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks, and assumptions associated with these statements. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.

General

BIOLIFE4D CORPORATION is a pioneering development stage biotech company that plans to leverage current advances in life sciences and cardiac tissue engineering to build human hearts first for cardiotoxicity testing and ultimately potentially suitable for implantation.

We plan to strategically position ourselves at the center of an unprecedented convergence of regenerative medicine, stem cell biology, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and computing technology – all having reached a level of maturity where we believe that commercially viable bioprinting solutions can be created through optimization, not invention. It is impossible to predict the exact amount of time it will take to fully optimize this process. We also need to obtain the approval of the FDA and it is impossible to predict the timeframe of the FDA approval process.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our ability to generate any product revenue or product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful development and eventual commercialization of our development stage product. We reported net losses of approximately $3.4 million and $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $10 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses until we have a commercially viable product. We expect that our expenses and capital expenditures will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities including, but not limited to the following:

● Purchase additional lab equipment for our pre-mini heart and post mini-heart testing;

● Build out of additional lab space, lab supplies;

● Hire additional lab, research, and science personnel;

● Add operational, legal, compliance, financial, investor relations, and management information systems personnel, for commercialization efforts and support our operations in the event that we become a public company.

We will not generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete our mini heart. If we are successful in developing the mini heart; we expect to incur significant expenses related to developing our commercialization capability to support product sales, marketing, and distribution. Further, in the event that we become a public company, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as such. As a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings and debt financings. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as, and when, needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back, or discontinue the development and commercialization of our products.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

To date, we have not generated any revenue from any sources, including product sales, and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products for the foreseeable future. If our development efforts for our product candidates are successful, we may generate revenue in the future from product sales.

15

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for our research activities, including our discovery efforts and the development of our product candidates. These expenses include salaries and related personnel cost, including stock based compensation, research supplies, rent, independent contractors, and research and development advisory board costs and other costs that directly support our research and development activities.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of any of our product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. We may never succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for any of our product candidates.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, for our executives and other administrative functions. General and administrative expenses include legal fees, accounting, auditing, consulting, and tax services; insurance costs; travel expenses; and facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support our continued research activities and development of our product candidates. We also anticipate that we will incur increased accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, compliance, director and officer insurance, and investor and public relations expenses in the event that we become a public company.

Other Income (Expense)

Loan Forgiveness. Loan forgiveness relates to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act (“PPP”).

Interest Income. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash balances.

Interest Expense. Interest expenses consist of interest on convertible debt and related party debt.

Income Taxes

Since our inception, we have not recorded any income tax benefits for the net losses we have incurred or for the research and development tax credits earned in each year and interim period, as we believe, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all of our net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards will not be realized.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, were approximately $2.3 million, compared to approximately $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase of approximately $1.3 million in general and administrative expenses primarily relates to increase in salaries and personnel-related costs (including stock-based compensation) along with an increase in professional fees. We expect to see further increases as we grow our operations in future periods.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, were approximately $1.0 million compared to approximately $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase of approximately $0.2 million in research and development expenses in 2022 from 2021 primarily relates to stock based compensation and personnel-related cost.

16

Other Income (Expense)

Loan Forgiveness. In 2022, we did not have any loans forgiven. Given the recent legislation passage to end the emergency decree for COVID-19, we do not expect any further equivalent programs in this area going forward. In 2021, approximately $0.4 million of PPP loans were forgiven.

Interest Income. Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was minimal and consisted of interest earned on invested cash balances.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $0.2 and $0.1 million, respectively and was primarily related to our working capital loan, our convertible notes in 2022, and our convertible note in 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $10 million, incurred a net loss of approximately $3.4 million and cash outflows from operations of approximately $1.7 million as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our business plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our research and development activities and commercialize our products will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the preclinical and, if successful, the clinical development of our programs. To date, we have funded our operations with proceeds from sales of common stock and borrowings under convertible promissory notes. As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 million.

Operating Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2022, operating activities used approximately $1.7 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of approximately $3.4 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of approximately $1.2 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $0.5 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, operating activities used $1.1 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of approximately $1.5 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of approximately $0.3 million and net cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $0.1 million.

Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.0 million, consisting of proceeds of approximately $1.5 million from a working capital loan offset by payment of deferred offering costs of approximately $0.5 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.7 million, consisting of net proceeds from the sale of common stock of approximately $1.5 million and proceeds of approximately $0.2 million from PPP borrowings.

Funding Requirements

We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance our research and development to create a mini heart. In addition, as we attempt to transition from a private company to a publicly-traded company, it will increase our reporting and compliance costs.

17

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings and debt financings. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of such stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures, or declaring dividends.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that we believe are 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. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. We recognize compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions using a fair-value measurement method, which requires all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in operating results as compensation expense based on fair value over the requisite service period of the awards. We determine the fair value of stock-based option awards, that do not contain any provisions which would result in liability classification, using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model which uses both historical and current market data to estimate fair value. The method incorporates various assumptions such as the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, and expected life of the options. For awards with performance-based vesting criteria, we estimate the probability of achievement of the performance criteria and recognizes compensation expense related to those awards expected to vest. We account for forfeited awards as they occur. Ultimately, the actual expenses recognized over the vesting period will be for those shares that vested. Our common stock price is assessed using valuation methods in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation practice guide. These estimates represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.

We have adopted the guidance included under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2018-17, stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants on January 1, 2018. Equity-based payments to non-employees are measured at grant-date fair value of equity instruments that we are obligated to issue when the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the rights to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied. Equity-classified nonemployee share based payment awards are measured at the grant date.

Research and Development Costs

Costs incurred in connection with research and development activities are expensed as incurred. These costs include rents for facilities, supplies, and other fees related to our research efforts, fees paid to consultants that perform certain research and testing on our behalf, and costs related to salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation granted to employees in research and development functions.

18

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented, we did not have and we do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Working Capital Loan

On May 18, 2022, we borrowed $1 million to fund our working capital needs pursuant to a Business Loan Agreement by and between us, as the borrower, and Fifth Third Bank, National Association, as lender (the “Lender”) and a related Promissory Note, made by us in favor of the Lender, each dated as of May 18, 2022 (the “Working Capital Loan”). The Promissory Note has an interest rate of 4.320% and matures on May 18, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). We are obligated to make monthly interest payments to the Lender until the Maturity Date upon which date the amount of the entire principal balance and any unpaid but accrued interest is due. Our obligations under the Working Capital Loan are secured by a lien on a certain deposit account with the Lender (the “Deposit Account”) owned by the BioLife4D – SM Trust dated November 1, 2016, (the “BioLife4D – SM Trust”) pursuant to an Assignment of Deposit Account, dated as of May 18, 2022, by and among the BioLife4D – SM Trust, us, and the Lender.

The Deposit Account was funded by the BioLife4D – SM Trust, our CEO’s trust, through its receipt of a $1 million loan from one of our minor shareholders (the “SM Trust Loan”), pursuant to a Secured Promissory Note, dated as of May 18, 2022, made by the BioLife4D – SM Trust in favor of the shareholder, in the principal amount of $1 million (the “Secured Promissory Note”). The SM Trust Loan is secured by a pledge by the BioLife4D – SM Trust of 33,334 shares of our common stock pursuant to a Stock Pledge Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2022, by and between the BioLife4D – SM Trust, as pledgor, and the shareholder, as secured party (the “Stock Pledge Agreement”).

On December 6, 2022, we borrowed an additional $500,000 from the Lender to continue to fund our working capital needs (the “Second Working Capital Loan”). We entered into a similar Business Loan Agreement and Promissory Note with the Lender under the same payment terms and security. The maturity date of the Second Working capital Loan is December 6, 2023 and the interest rate is 8.040%. The obligations under the Second Working Capital Loan are secured by a lien on the same Deposit Account owned by the BioLife4D – SM Trust.

The Deposit Account was funded by the BioLife4D – SM Trust, through its receipt of an additional $500,000 loan from the same minor shareholder from the SM Trust Loan. The parties amended and restated the Secured Promissory Note from the SM Trust Loan, dated as of December 7, 2022, to increase the principal amount from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. The parties then also amended and restated the Stock Pledge Agreement to secure the SM Trust Loan increasing the pledge by the BioLife4D – SM Trust from 33,334 shares of common stock to 150,000 shares of common stock.

The above summary of our Working Capital Loan, Second Working Capital Loan, and the SM Trust Loan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Loan Agreements and the related Promissory Notes and Assignment of Deposit Account, with respect to the Working Capital Loan and Second Working Capital Loan, the Secured Promissory Notes, and Stock Pledge Agreement, with respect to the SM Trust Loan, which are filed as exhibits to this report.

Biographical Information

Directors and Executive Officers

The following is a summary of certain biographical information concerning our current directors and our executive officers.

Steven Morris – Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Chairman of the Board of Directors

Steven Morris has more than 20 years of extensive experience in the precision machining and manufacturing industries, including 15 years serving as President of privately-held Inland Midwest Corporation (IMC) from 2000 to 2014. He acquired a controlling interest in IMC and led the company’s transformation into a premier, state-of-the-art facility catering exclusively to the medical technologies industry. By concentrating on strategic process optimization, technical innovation, quality, and customer service, IMC became a preeminent supplier in the industry counting some of the largest U.S. and international medical companies as its customers. The company was marketed as a “boutique” supplier to select industry OEM leaders, including Medtronic Spinal and Biologics, Wright Medical, Biomet, and Zimmer.

Under Morris’ leadership, the company achieved much success including earning many Supplier of the Year awards from various customers. In fact, Medtronic, a multi-billion dollar international leader in the medical industry, ranked IMC among its top global suppliers for its Spine and Biologics division.

After several years of high profitability, Morris negotiated a successful exit strategy and sold the company in 2011. He remained on as President for more than two years following the sale.

After leaving IMC, from 2014 to 2016, he formed Creative Manufacturing Consulting Solutions (CMCS), a consulting company focused on achieving sustainable manufacturing solutions in the areas of operational and process optimization, quality system development and optimization, and industry and regulatory compliance – particularly those related to ISO and the FDA.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.

Board Composition

Our board of directors currently consists of three persons.

26

Our board of directors believes its members collectively have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to effectively oversee our management, including a high degree of personal and professional integrity, an ability to exercise sound business judgment on a broad range of issues, sufficient experience and background to have an appreciation of the issues facing us, a willingness to devote the necessary time to board duties, a commitment to representing our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders, and a dedication to enhancing shareholder value.

There were no board of directors meetings held in 2021 or 2022. All board actions were taken by unanimous written consent of the directors.

Director Independence

We currently have two independent directors on our board of directors. We use Nasdaq’s definition of “independence” to make this determination. Nasdaq provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship with which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

● the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;

● the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

● the director is a family member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the company as an executive officer;

● the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officer of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity;

● the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling shareholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exemptions); or

● the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

Under such definitions, our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and will review the independence of any new directors based on information provided by each director concerning his background, employment, and affiliations, in order to make a determination of independence. Our board of directors has determined that there are two independent directors on our board of directors.

Role of Our Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our board of directors administers this oversight function directly, and will have supporting committees, including the audit committee, compensation committee, and the nominating and corporate governance committee, who each will then support the board of directors by addressing risks specific to its respective areas of oversight. In particular, our audit committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management takes to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, in addition to oversight of the performance of our internal audit function.

Director Compensation

From our inception on November 14, 2016 to 2021, we paid no compensation to any member of our board of directors for services rendered as a director.

On February 4, 2022, we entered into Director Agreements with each of the members of the board of directors. Pursuant to the Director Agreements, the compensation to the directors is as follows: (a) cash compensation of $30,000 per annum; and (b) an annual grant of options to purchase 8,334 shares of common stock, the first grant being on the day of appointment, and thereafter being on the date of each annual re-election or re-appointment to the board of directors (the “Annual Grant”). The Annual Grant will vest in full on the first anniversary of each grant date. In addition, in the event that the director is a member of any committee, he or she will be entitled to (c) additional annual cash compensation of $4,000 for being a non-chair member; or (d) additional annual cash compensation of $8,000 for being the chair of a committee.

The following table sets forth a summary of compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, that we paid to each director other than its Chief Executive Officer, whose compensation is fully reflected in the compensation table above. We do not sponsor a pension benefits plan, a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, or a non-equity incentive plan for directors; therefore, these columns have been omitted from the following table. No other or additional compensation for services were paid to any of the directors.

2022 Stock Option Plan

On February 3, 2022, we adopted the 2022 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan which provides for the grant of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to our employees and the employees of any future subsidiary corporation, and for the grant of non-statutory stock options to non-employees, including directors and other service providers (the “2022 Stock Option Plan”).

Authorized Shares. A total of 1,666,667 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options issued from the 2022 Stock Option Plan.

Plan Administration. Our board of directors administers our 2022 Stock Option Plan.

Stock Options. Stock options may be granted under our 2022 Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of options granted under our 2022 Stock Option Plan must at least be equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of an incentive stock option may not exceed ten years, except that with respect to any participant who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock, the term must not exceed five years and the exercise price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date. The administrator will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares, or other property acceptable to the administrator, as well as other types of consideration permitted by applicable law. After the termination of service of an employee, director, or consultant, he or she may exercise his or her option for the period of time stated in his or her option agreement. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, the option will generally remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. However, in no event may an option be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of our 2022 Stock Option Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of options.

Non-transferability of Awards. Unless the administrator provides otherwise, our 2022 Stock Option Plan generally does not allow for the transfer of awards and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during his or her lifetime.

Certain Adjustments. In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under our 2022 Stock Option Plan, the administrator will adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under our 2022 Stock Option Plan and/or the number, class and price of shares covered by each outstanding award and the numerical share limits set forth in our 2022 Stock Option Plan. In the event of our proposed liquidation or dissolution, the administrator will notify participants as soon as practicable, and all awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

Merger or Change in Control. Our 2022 Stock Option Plan provides that in the event of a merger or change in control, as defined under the 2022 Stock Option Plan, each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines, except that if a successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary does not assume or substitute an equivalent award for any outstanding award, then such award will fully vest, all restrictions on the shares subject to such award will lapse, all performance goals or other vesting criteria applicable to the shares subject to such award will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and all of the shares subject to such award will become fully exercisable, if applicable, for a specified period prior to the transaction. The award will then terminate upon the expiration of the specified period of time.

31

Amendment; Termination. The administrator has the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate the 2022 Stock Option Plan provided such action will not impair the existing rights of any participant. Our 2022 Stock Option Plan will automatically terminate in 2032, unless we terminate it sooner.

Options Granted. To date, pursuant to our 2022 Stock Option Plan, we have issued to our employees, officers, and directors 59,338 options to purchase shares of our common stock.

2022 Restricted Stock Plan

On February 3, 2022, the board of directors adopted the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan (the “2022 Restricted Stock Plan”) which provides for the grant of common stock awards and performance awards to our officers, directors, and key employees or of any subsidiary corporation.

Purpose of the Plan. The 2022 Restricted Stock Plan is intended to provide incentives which will attract, retain, motivate, and reward our officers, directors, and key employees or any of our Affiliates (“Participants”), by providing them opportunities to acquire shares of our common stock.

Stock Subject to the Plan. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be subject to Awards granted under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan is 1,666,667 shares of common stock. If any shares of common stock are forfeited, retained by us as payment of tax withholding obligations with respect to an Award, or surrendered to us to satisfy tax withholding obligations, such shares of common stock will be added back to the shares available for Awards. The 2022 Restricted Stock Plan contains certain adjustment provisions relating to stock dividends, stock splits, and the like.

Administration of the Plan. The 2022 Restricted Stock Plan will be administered by the board of directors. The board of directors will have the full power and authority to grant Awards to the persons eligible to receive such Awards and to determine the amount, type, terms, and conditions of each such Award.

Eligibility. Participants consist of such officers, directors, and key employees of us or any of our Affiliates as the board of directors, in its sole discretion, determines to be significantly responsible for our success and future growth and profitability and whom the board of directors may designate from time to time to receive Awards under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan.

Types of Awards. Stock Awards and Performance Awards may, as determined by the board of directors, in its discretion, constitute Performance-Based Awards.

Stock Awards. The board of directors is authorized to grant Stock Awards and will, in its sole discretion, determine the recipients and the number of shares of common stock underlying each Stock Award. Each Stock Award will be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan as determined by the board of directors and as set forth in an Award agreement, including, without limitation, restrictions on the sale or other disposition of such shares and our right to reacquire such shares for no consideration upon termination of the Participant’s employment or membership on the board of directors, as applicable, within specified periods.

Performance Awards. The board of directors is authorized to grant Performance Awards and will, in its sole discretion, determine the recipients and the number of shares of common stock that may be subject to each Performance Award. Each Performance Award will be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan as determined by the board of directors and as set forth in an Award agreement. The board of directors will set performance targets at its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number of Performance Awards that will be paid out to the Participants and may attach to such Performance Awards one or more restrictions. Performance targets may be based upon, without limitation, Company-wide, divisional and/or individual performance.

The board of directors has the authority to adjust performance targets. The board of directors also has the authority to permit a Participant to elect to defer the receipt of any Performance Award, subject to the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan.

Performance-Based Awards. Certain Stock Awards and Performance Awards granted under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan and the compensation attributable to such Awards are intended to (i) qualify as Performance-Based Awards or (ii) be otherwise exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code.

The board of directors determines whether Stock Awards and Performance Awards granted under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan qualify as Performance-Based Awards. The board of directors will establish in writing the performance goals, the vesting period, the performance targets, and any other terms and conditions of the Award in its sole discretion.

32

Vesting. Awards granted to Participants under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan may be subject to a graded vesting schedule with a minimum vesting period of two years, unless otherwise determined by the board of directors.

If there is a Change in Control, all unvested Awards granted under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan will become fully vested immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control and such vested Awards will be paid out or settled, as applicable, within 60 days upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, subject to requirements of applicable laws and regulations.

Subject to the discretion of the board of directors, if a Participant’s employment or membership on the board of directors is terminated due to death or Disability, then all unvested and/or unearned Awards will be forfeited as of such date.

Section 409A of the Code. Awards under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan are intended either to be exempt from the rules of Section 409A of the Code or to satisfy those rules and shall be construed accordingly. However, we will not be liable to any Participant or other holder of an Award with respect to any Award-related adverse tax consequences arising under Section 409A or other provision of the Code.

Transferability. Each Award granted under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan will not be transferable otherwise than by a will or the laws of decent and distribution or as otherwise decided by the board of directors.

Fair Market Value. For purposes of the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan, “Fair Market Value” means, as of any given date, the closing price of a share of common stock on the public trading market on which shares of common stock are listed or quoted on that date, as applicable.

Withholding. All payments or distributions of Awards made pursuant to the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan will be net of any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to applicable federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements.

Amendments. The board of directors may amend the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan from time to time or suspend or terminate it at any time. However, no amendment will be made, without approval of our shareholders to (i) increase the total number of shares which may be issued under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan; (ii) modify the requirements as to eligibility for Awards under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan; or (iii) otherwise materially amend the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan.

Term of the Plan. The 2022 Restricted Stock Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its Effective Date.

Current Issuance. As of the date of this report, there have been 11,001 shares of common stock issued under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan.

ITEM 4. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN SECURITYHOLDERS

There are 3,615,436 shares of our common stock outstanding as of the date of this report. The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock immediately prior to the date of this report by:

● each of our directors;

● all of our directors and executive officers as a group; and

● each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In addition, the rules include shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and Warrants that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable on or before the date which is 60 days after the date of this report. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options and Warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

We had the following transactions with related parties during the last two fiscal years:

On April 5, 2023, the 1030 Trust, a revocable trust beneficially owned by our CEO, loaned us $120,000 with an interest rate of 5% and a term of six months, or within 15 days after the listing of our securities on a national stock exchange, whichever occurs earlier.

In 2022, 2021, and 2020, we used the bookkeeping services of an accounting firm in which our former CFO was a partner. We incurred $37,060, $24,260, and $17,265 of fees for accounting services in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

On May 18, 2022, our CEO, through his trust, the BioLife4D – SM Trust, obtained a $1 million loan from one of our shareholders pursuant to a Secured Promissory Note, dated as of May 18, 2022, in the principal amount of $1 million (the “SM Trust Loan”). The SM Trust Loan is secured by 33,334 shares of our common stock held by the BioLife4D – SM Trust pursuant to a Stock Pledge Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2022, by and between the BioLife4D – SM Trust, as pledgor, and the shareholder as secured party. The funds received from the SM Trust Loan were then placed in a deposit account with Fifth Third Bank, National Association (the “Deposit Account”) and used to serve as collateral for our $1 million Working Capital Loan from Fifth Third Bank, National Association (the “Lender”), pursuant to an Assignment of Deposit Account, dated May 18, 2022, by and among the BioLife4D – SM Trust, us, and the Lender.

On December 6, 2022, our CEO, through his trust, the BioLife4D – SM Trust, obtained an additional loan of $500,000 from the same shareholder. The parties amended and restated the Secured Promissory Note from the SM Trust Loan, dated as of December 7, 2022, to increase the principal amount from $1 million to $1.5 million. The parties then also amended and restated the Stock Pledge Agreement to secure the SM Trust Loan, thereby increasing the pledge by the BioLife4D – SM Trust from 33,334 shares of common stock to 150,000 shares of common stock. The funds received from were placed in the same Deposit Account and used to serve as collateral for our $500,000 Second Working Capital Loan from the Lender, pursuant to an Assignment of Deposit Account, dated December 6, 2022, by and among the BioLife4D – SM Trust, us, and the Lender.

Steven Morris, our CEO, is the sole beneficiary and trustee of the BioLife4D – SM Trust and exercises voting power and control over the shares held by the trust.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, interest expense to BioLife4D-SM Trust totaled $65,616. Steven Morris is the beneficiary and trustee of BioLife4D – SM Trust.

Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons

All future related party transactions will be voted upon by the disinterested board of directors. The audit committee of the board of directors is responsible for evaluating each related party transaction and making a recommendation to the disinterested members of the board of directors as to whether the transaction at issue is fair, reasonable and within our policy and whether it should be ratified and approved. The audit committee, in making its recommendation, will consider various factors, including the benefit of the transaction to us, the terms of the transaction and whether they are at arm’s-length and in the ordinary course of our business, the direct or indirect nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction, the size and expected term of the transaction and other facts and circumstances that bear on the materiality of the related party transaction under applicable law and listing standards. The audit committee will review, at least annually, a summary of our transactions with our directors and officers and with firms that employ our directors, as well as any other related person transactions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

BioLife4d Corporation.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BioLife4d Corporation. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully explained in Note 1, which includes management’s plans in regards to this uncertainty, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $10 million, incurred a net loss of approximately $3.4 million and cash outflows from operations of approximately $1.6 million as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and therefore there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Nature of Operations

BIOLIFE4D CORPORATION (“the Company,”) is a pioneering development stage biotech company that plans to leverage current advances in life sciences and cardiac tissue engineering to build human hearts suitable for implantation – potentially lifesaving technology that ultimately gives patients the gift of time.

The Company is driving a movement to transform the treatment of heart disease which is the leading cause of death among both men and women globally. The Company is committed to perfecting the technology to make viable organ replacement an accessible and affordable reality, as well as mini-hearts for cardiotoxicity testing. The Company’s groundbreaking approach converges recent breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, adult stem cell biology, 3D printing techniques, and computing technology that could make organ replacement commercially viable and commonplace globally.

The Company plans to create a patient-specific, fully functioning heart through 3D bioprinting using the patient’s own cells – which could eliminate the well-known challenges of organ rejection and long donor waiting lists that plague existing organ transplant methods.

The Company seeks to improve, optimize, adapt, and capitalize on current technologies to create a commercially viable and sustainable process solution. It is impossible to predict the exact amount of time it will take to fully optimize this process, particularly due to the ultimate interaction of the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) as it is impossible to predict the exact time frame of the FDA approval process.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared as though the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $10 million, and a net loss of approximately $3.4 million. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.6 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. Management expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company has financed its operations to date from proceeds from the sale of common stock and issuance of debt. The Company’s current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be insufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date the financial statements are issued. The assumptions upon which the Company has based its estimates are routinely evaluated and may be subject to change. The actual amount of the Company’s expenditures will vary depending upon several factors including but not limited to the design, timing, and progress of the Company’s research and development programs, and the level of financial resources available. The Company can adjust its operating plan spending based on available financial resources.

The Company will need to raise additional capital to continue to fund operations and product research and development. The Company believes that it will be able to obtain additional working capital through bridge loans and an initial public offering, other equity financings, additional debt, or other arrangements to fund future operations; however, as of the date of these financial statements, no committed funding has been obtained, and there can be no assurance that such additional financing, if available, can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

F-6

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. From its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, regulatory approvals, research and development, and raising capital.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial condition. Such factors include but are not limited to: the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval to market its products, competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies, the price of, and demand for, and insurance coverage of, Company products, the Company’s ability to negotiate favorable licensing or other manufacturing and marketing agreements for its products, and the Company’s ability to raise capital.

The Company currently has no commercially approved products and there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development efforts will be successfully commercialized. Developing and commercializing a product requires significant time and capital and is subject to regulatory review and approval as well as competition from other biotechnology companies. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change and is dependent upon the continued services of its employees and consultants and obtaining and protecting intellectual property.

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 amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates included in the financial statements are those associated with the inputs used to value common stock and option grants and in the determination of predominant outcome for potential conversion events associated with the convertible notes issued by the Company.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. The spread of COVID-19 has caused significant volatility in the United States and international markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the United States and international economies and, as such, the Company is unable to determine if it will have a material impact to its operations.

(Loss)/Income per Share

Basic (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) income per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the (loss) income of the Company. In computing diluted (loss) income per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding instruments are exercised/converted, and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Instruments may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price/conversion rate of the instruments.

The Company has not included a reconciliation of the numerator for expense amounts associated with the convertible notes as those amounts are not material and would no effect on earnings per share as any changes would be anti-dilutive and therefore not presented.

F-7

The following common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

	December 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Options		77,332		101,667
Convertible notes		18,519		18,519
		95,851		120,186

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. For the period of these financial statements, the CEO and founder of the Company was the CODM. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating and reporting segment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash represents cash deposits held at a major financial institution. Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments of sufficient credit quality that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term liquidity requirements, rather than for investment purposes.

Deferred Offering Costs

Direct costs incurred by the Company to raise debt, equity or other funding that are incurred prior to Company closing on receipt of proceeds from those offerings is treated as a deferred offering cost, a long-term asset on the balance sheet. Upon closing, those costs are transferred or netted, depending on the type of the offering against the proceeds received. In the event of a more than temporary delay or the failure to close, deferred offering costs are expensed as general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2022, the Company had deferred approximately $586,543 of offering costs and which were included on the balance sheet in Other Assets.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception and recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The Company utilizes the practical expedient to exclude short-term leases from Accounting under ASC842.

For operating leases, the lease liability is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability include fixed payments owed over the lease term. The Company discounts its unpaid lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms.

The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.

The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability less any accrued lease payments. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Variable lease payments associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs. Variable lease payments are presented as operating expenses in the Company’s statement of income with the expense arising from fixed lease payments.

F-8

The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of one of its leases. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding ROU asset.

Research and Development Costs

Costs incurred in connection with research and development activities are expensed as incurred. These costs include rents for facilities, supplies, and other fees related to our research efforts, fees paid to consultants that perform certain research and testing on behalf of the Company, and costs related to salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation granted to employees in research and development functions.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee and non-employees services are acquired. The Company recognizes compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions using a fair-value measurement method, which requires all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in operating results as compensation expense based on fair value over the requisite service period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of stock-based option awards, that do not contain any provisions which would result in liability classification, using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model which uses both historical and current market data to estimate fair value. The method incorporates various assumptions such as the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, and expected life of the options. For awards with performance-based vesting criteria, the Company estimates the probability of achievement of the performance criteria and recognizes compensation expense related to those awards expected to vest. The Company accounts for forfeited awards as they occur. Ultimately, the actual expenses recognized over the vesting period will be for those shares that vested. The Company’s common stock price is assessed using valuation methods in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation practice guide. These estimates represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances in the form of business checking accounts and money market accounts, the balances of which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Exposure to cash and cash equivalents credit risk is reduced by placing such deposits with major financial institutions and monitoring their credit ratings.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which due to the nature of the work being performed have a 3-year estimated useful life. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

F-9

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 — assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021:

	2022			2021
Equipment and furniture	$	40,673		$	24,373
Accumulated depreciation		(28,678	)		(18,055	)
Equipment and furniture, net	$	11,995		$	6,318

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded depreciation of $10,623 and $8,124, respectively.

4. LEASES

The Company leases a BioAssemblyBot 400 and accompanying TSIM and BioApps software (“equipment”) under a noncancelable agreement. The lease commenced on March 1, 2022 and expires in March 2025. At the end of the lease term, the Company has the option to return the equipment, purchase the equipment, or to extend the lease term on a month-to-month basis at the then current monthly rate. The lease does not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. Payments due under the lease are fixed at $9,000 per month through the lease term.

At the end of the lease term, the Company has the option to purchase the equipment for $29,872. Because the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise this purchase option, the option is not considered in determining the lease term and associated potential purchase option payments are not included in lease payments:

The components of lease expense for the periods ended December 31, 2022, were as follows:

Operating lease cost	$	72,000
Variable lease costs		-
Total lease cost	$	72,000

Future minimum lease payments and maturities of the lease liability as of December 31, 2022, are as follows:

2023		108,000
2024		108,000
2025		9,000
Total minimum lease payments	$	225,000
Less imputed interest		(20,531	)
Total lease liability		204,469
Lease liability – current portion		93,388
Lease liability, long-term portion	$	111,081

5. DEBT

Working Capital Loan

On May 18, 2022 and December 6, 2022, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 and $500,000, respectively, to fund its working capital needs pursuant to a Business Loan Agreement by and between the Company, as the borrower, and Fifth Third Bank, National Association, as lender (the “Lender”) and a related Promissory Note, made by the Company in favor of the Lender, each dated as of May 18, 2022 and amended dated December 6, 2022 (the “Working Capital Loan”). The Company’s obligations under the Working Capital Loan are secured by a lien on a certain deposit account with the Lender (the “Deposit Account”) owned by the BioLife4D – SM Trust dated November 1, 2016, (the “BioLife4D – SM Trust”) pursuant to an Assignment of Deposit Account, dated as of May 18, 2022, amended dated as of December 6, 2022, by and among the BioLife4D – SM Trust, the Company, and the Lender. Steven Morris, the Company’s CEO, is the sole beneficiary and trustee of the BioLife4D – SM Trust which owns 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, 33,334 of which are pledged to Fifth Third Bank, National Association.

The Promissory Note has an interest rate of 4.32% and matures on May 18, 2023, but in no event later than November 18, 2023. The Company is obligated to make monthly interest payments to the Lender until the Maturity Date upon which date the amount of the entire principal balance and any unpaid but accrued interest is due. As an inducement to the BioLife4D-SM Trust to post the required collateral, the Company has agreed to compensate the BioLife4D-SM Trust at the rate of 10% per annum on the value of the collateral pledged within the trust to the Lender.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, interest expense to the Lender totaled $30,143, of which $25,800 is paid and $4,343 is included in accrued interest expenses.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, interest expense to BioLife4D-SM Trust totaled $65,616.

Convertible Notes

In January 2019, the Company issued seven convertible notes and received proceeds totaling $700,000, of which $100,000 was converted in 2019, leaving $600,000 outstanding during the period of these financial statements. The notes had maturity dates of three years from issuance, with the Company having the right, at its sole discretion, to further extend the maturity an additional 24 months upon notice being given to the holders. The interest rate of the notes was 8% per annum in the original 3-year term. Based upon the terms of the notes, the Company has elected to extend the notes and the interest rate will be 12% for the period of the extension.

The Notes may only be repaid in full with interest. The notes contain provisions that require the Company to incur a prepayment penalty should the loans be repaid, in full, prior to the maturity date of the notes. If the note is prepaid in the first year, the penalty is 30% of the outstanding note balance. In the second year, the prepayment penalty is 20% of the outstanding note balance.

The notes contain certain conversion rights granted to the holders. These include the holders having the option prior to the first-year anniversary date to convert all outstanding balances into shares of common stock of the Company at a 20% discount to the then fair market value of the Company’s common stock. This option expires on the first anniversary of the note. In addition, throughout the period where note proceeds are outstanding, in the event the Company completes an equity sale of securities of at least $7,500,000 (excluding amounts converted from outstanding notes), the outstanding loan balance will automatically convert into securities of the new financing at a 20% discount to the then fair market value of the securities being converted into. At inception, the Company has determined that the conversion feature contained within the notes was the predominantly likely method of settlement and therefore has treated the convertible notes as stock settled debt. At inception, the Company recorded the notes at their settled liability amount of $750,000 with the $150,000 treated as a debt discount which was amortized over the original maturity of the convertible notes (see table below). The resulting effective interest rate of the convertible notes was 13.36%.

F-11

In January 2022, in accordance with the provisions of the convertible notes, the Company notified the noteholders holding a total of $600,000 of the notes that the Company had extended the maturity date of the convertible notes to January 2024. In accordance with the terms of the extension, the interest rate of the convertible notes increased thereafter to 12% per annum.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the total interest expense was $76,881 and $96,846, respectively, with coupon interest expense of $72,000 and $48,000 for each twelve months and amortization of debt discount of $4,881 and $62,605 respectively.

The following table summarizes the debt discount.

Balance, December 31, 2021	$	4,881
Amortization as of September 30, 2022		(4,881	)
Balance, December 31, 2022	$	-

Paycheck Protection Loan

The Company received loan proceeds of $222,400 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act. The Loan, which was in the form of a promissory note, dated May 1, 2020, matured on May 1, 2022, and bore interest at a fixed rate of 1% per annum. Under the terms of the CARES Act, the principal may be forgiven if the Loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, such as payroll costs, benefits, mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. In May 2021, the Company was notified that the Small Business Administration had accepted the Company’s forgiveness application.

In January 2021, the Company received a second loan for $174,873 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act. The Loan, which was in the form of a promissory note, was to mature on January 21, 2023, and bore interest at a fixed rate of 1% per annum. Under the terms of the CARES Act, the principal may be forgiven if the Loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, such as payroll costs, benefits, mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. In November 2021, the Company was notified that the Small Business Administration had accepted the Company’s forgiveness application.

6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation

On January 24, 2022, the Company filed a revised Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to increase the total number of shares authorized to issue 70,000,000 consisting of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, having a par value of $0.00001, and 20,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, having a par value of $0.00001. In addition, the previously authorized two classes of voting common stock and non-voting common stock are now combined into one class of voting common stock. All previously issued voting and non-voting common shares have been retroactively presented as one class of common stock.

In August 2022, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware to amend its articles of incorporation to effect a 1:3 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock. The effect of this reverse split has been shown as if it occurred at the inception of the Company.

In January 2018, the Company commenced a qualified Tier II offering of its common stock under Regulation A of the 1933 Securities and Exchange Act with proceeds of up to $50 million available under the offering with an original price of approximately $30 per share before fees and expenses. In 2018 and 2019, the Company subsequently amended the offering and increased the offering price to $40.50 per common share, before fees and expenses as of September 2019. The Company continued to raise proceeds under the offering until it was terminated in December 2021.

F-12

Equity Compensation Plans

In January 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan (“Plan”). The Plan will be administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors. The committee may delegate such authority to any officer or employee of the Company. The Plan awards are available to all employees, executive officers, and members of the board of directors. The Plan may grant Stock Awards and may also grant Performance Awards, as defined within the Plan, with a minimum vesting period of two years unless otherwise determined by the Board. The total number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan is 1,666,667 shares of common stock.

In February 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (“Option Plan”). The Option Plan will be administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors. The committee may delegate such authority to any officer or employee of the Company. The Option Plan awards are available to all employees, members of the board of directors and consultants. The Option grants authorized for issuance under the Plan may total exercise into 1,666,667 shares of common stock. In the event of a termination or cancellation of an unused option grant, those shares revert back to the Option Plan.

In 2021, the Company sold 38,708 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.00001 for approximately $1.57 million in gross proceeds under the Tier II offering. The Company paid $28,670 in offering costs related to the sale of common stock.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued 2,000 shares of common stock to a third party. The shares were valued at $81,000 based on the pricing of the Company’s securities in its Regulation A, Tier II offering. These shares vested over six months which occurred in 2022.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $8,111 of stock-based compensation expense with respect to the vesting of certain previously granted equity instruments.

In January 2021, the Company issued 3,334 shares of common stock to its management advisory board members as part of the compensation package contained within the advisory agreements. The shares were valued at $135,000 based on the pricing received in the Tier II offering. The grants vest over a 1-year period from grant. Through mutual agreement, these shares were canceled in January 2022 and were part of the 10,000 share cancellation noted above.

Option Awards

In February 2022, the Company granted options to its board of directors to acquire 25,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $40.50 per share, with a 5-year term. The fair market value of the options on the date of grant was $652,500. The Company recognized $587,706 of compensation expenses related to these options for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The options vest on the anniversary of the date of grant.

F-13

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company granted 7,337 options to a consultant to acquire shares of common stock at an exercise price of $40.50 per share with a 5-year term. The fair market value of the options on the date of grant was $191,400. The Company recognized $191,400 of compensation expenses related to these options for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. These options vest immediately.

In January 2022, the Company granted an option to an advisory board member to acquire 45,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $40.50 per share with a five-year expiration. The option contained both performance and service vesting conditions. In 2022, the Company determined that the performance conditions related to patent filings were not met and therefore the options expired unexercised.

The following table provides the estimates included in the inputs to the Black-Scholes Merton pricing model for the options granted in 2022:

Underlying fair market value	$	40.50 per share
Expected life		5 years
Risk free interest rate		0.80	%
Dividend rate		0	%
Historical volatility		81	%

The Company has utilized the pricing received, on a near continuous basis from investors, in its Regulation A, Tier II offering as the fair market value for the underlying common shares. In addition, the Company has utilized a basket of five public companies with similar operations to estimate a historical volatility at the time of grant.

A summary of option activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, is as follows:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Total Intrinsic Value		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)
Outstanding as of December 31, 2021		101,668		$	12.03	$	-		1.50

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Company’s business activities.

On August 28, 2020, a group of noteholders totaling $600,000, filed a lawsuit naming the Company as a defendant alleging breach of contract in Cook County, Illinois. The breach alleged in the lawsuit was for not providing the required financial information in the form of unaudited financial statements to the noteholders as required under the convertible note agreements. Three of the noteholders’ cases were dismissed with prejudice. Only three of the noteholders remain in the lawsuit. The Company brought a Motion for Sanctions due to delays against the plaintiffs which was granted and we were awarded attorney’s fees. The Company has now brought a Second Motion for Sanctions due to further delays by the plaintiffs which is scheduled to be heard on November 17, 2022. The Company’s position is that the claims are without merit. The Company has indicated in filings to the court that the Company provided the information as required via e-mail and other communication to the convertible note holders, and in addition, published the required information as part of its ongoing reporting obligations under its Regulation A Tier II offering at www.sec.gov. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against this litigation.

9. INCOME TAXES 

The components of our deferred tax assets are as follows:

	December 31,

Deferred Tax Assets:
Net operating losses	$	2,055,000		$	1,460,000

The benefit of income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 consist of the following:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that one portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical losses and the uncertainty of future taxable income over the periods which the Company will realize the benefits of its net deferred tax assets, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not fully realize the benefits on the balance of its net deferred tax assets and, accordingly, the Company has established full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

A reconciliation of the statutory income tax rate to the effective tax rate is as follows

	December 31,
	2022			2021
Federal rate		717,000			314,000
State income taxes, net of federal benefit		256,000			82,000
Non-deductible equity based compensation		(376,000	)		(166,000	)
Amortization of debt discount		-			(17,000	)
Other		(2,000	)		7,000
Change in valuation allowance		(595,000	)		(220,000	)
Income Taxes Provision (Benefit)		-			-

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has available federal net operating losses of approximately $8.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively, which can be carried forward indefinitely. In 2020, as part of the CARES Act, the Company had the ability to fully utilize its net operating loss carryforwards against taxable income. That provision expired in 2021, and thus, from 2021 onward, the Company may only utilize net operating loss carryforwards totaling up to 80% of its taxable income in any given year.

Due to changes in the Company’s ownership over time, it is possible that future utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to certain limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. While the scope of any such limitations has not been determined, they could result in significant permanent impairments to the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and reduction in the gross deferred tax asset that is disclosed above.

U.S. GAAP provides that the tax effects from uncertain tax positions can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $0 and $0 of unrecognized state tax benefits net of federal benefits recorded, respectively.

The Company does not expect any material changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal and state jurisdictions, where applicable. There are currently no pending tax examinations. The statute of limitations period is generally three years. Due to the extent of the net operating loss carryforward, however, all tax years remain open to examination.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company used the bookkeeping services of an accounting firm in which an officer of the Company was a partner. The Company incurred $37,060 and $24,260 of accounting services in the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, interest expense to BioLife4D-SM Trust totaled $65,616.

Mr. Steven Morris, the Company’s CEO, is the beneficiary and trustee of BioLife4D – SM Trust.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS – UNAUDITED

On April 5, 2023, the 1030 Trust, a revocable trust beneficially owned by the Company’s CEO, loaned the Company $120,000 with an interest rate of 5% and a term of six months.
