Proteomedix AG

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

 

Proteomedix AG (the “Company”) is a healthcare company whose mission is to transform prostate cancer diagnosis. Proteomedix has identified novel biomarker signatures with utility in prostate cancer diagnosis, prognosis and therapy management. The lead product Proclarix® is a blood-based prostate cancer test panel and risk score currently available in Europe and expected to be available in the U.S. in the near future. Proteomedix is located in the Bio-Technopark of Zurich-Schlieren, Switzerland.

 

On December 15, 2023, the Company was acquired by Onconetix, Inc. (formerly Blue Water Biotech, Inc) (the “Parent”). The Parent issued stock of its common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding voting equity of the Company. See Note 10.

 

Note 2 – Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $27,000,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $4,800,000, and a lack of profitable operational history. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

While the Company is attempting to generate greater revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds from its Parent to sustain operations until such time as revenues are sufficient to support the Company’s operations. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and the ability of its Parent to provide additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and obtain additional funding from its Parent as needed.

 

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and interim reporting rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and notes thereto. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments (unless otherwise indicated), necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

The functional currency of the Company is the Swiss Franc and the Company’s condensed financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (USD). Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

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. The Company operates in one segment which is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting for future periods.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates in the Company’s condensed financial statements relate to valuation of inventory, stock-based compensation, pension benefit obligations, and the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets resulting from net operating losses. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as all cash in banks and highly liquid investments available for current use with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (“FINMA”). The Company’s cash balances may at times exceed the insurance provided by FINMA. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts and management does not believe that the Company is exposed to any significant risks related to excess deposits.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and extends credit to virtually all of its customers on an uncollateralized basis. Credit losses to date have been insignificant and within management’s expectations. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, expected future losses, and existing economic conditions. Normal accounts receivable are due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Receivables are considered delinquent based on management’s assessment of the individual balance. Delinquent receivables are evaluated for collectability based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was nil, respectively. The Company did not write off any accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts during the periods ended September 30, 2023, and 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, substantially all accounts receivable are due from a single customer.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company periodically reviews the composition of inventory in order to identify excess, obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise non-saleable items taking into account anticipated future sales compared with quantities on hand, and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand. If non-saleable items are observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventory, the Company records a write-down to net realizable value in the period that the decline in value is first recognized. The Company had no inventory reserves as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable (a “triggering event”). Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the long-lived asset in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows. During the periods ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company did not identify any impairments related to its long-lived assets.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consists of computers and office furniture and fixtures, all of which are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the respective useful lives of the assets ranging from two to ten years. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Upon the retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are charged to operations.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development expenses are those costs incurred in the discovery, design, and development of new products, processes, or services, as well as the enhancement of existing products. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred unless such costs have an alternative future use. These costs include, but are not limited to, salaries, wages, benefits, materials, equipment, and overhead directly attributable to the research and development activities.

 

Collaborative Agreements 

 

The Company periodically enters into strategic alliance agreements with counterparties to produce products and/or provide services to customers. Alliances created by such agreements are not legal entities, have no employees, no assets and have no true operations. These arrangements create contractual rights and the Company accounts for these alliances as a collaborative arrangement by reporting costs incurred and reimbursements received from transactions within research and development expense within the statements of comprehensive loss.

 

Commitments And Contingencies

 

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when management assesses that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

 

Share Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Account Standard Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Costs are measured at the estimated fair value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by ASC 718.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

Income Taxes

 

In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” the Company provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

In addition, the Company’s management performs an evaluation of all uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s income tax returns to determine whether the income tax positions meet a “more likely than not” standard of being sustained under examination by the applicable taxing authorities. This evaluation is required to be performed for all open tax years, as defined by the various statutes of limitations, for federal and state purposes. If the Company has interest or penalties associated with insufficient taxes paid, such expenses are reported in income tax expense.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognized revenue when control of goods or services performed is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services. ASC 606 provides for a five-step model that includes:

 

(i)identifying the contract with a customer,
(ii)identifying the performance obligations in the contract,
(iii)determining the transaction price,
(iv)allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and
(v)recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Product Sales

 

The Company derives revenue through sales of its products directly to end users and to distributors. The Company sells its products to customers including laboratories, hospitals, medical centers, doctors and distributors. The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements or standard terms and conditions, to be the contracts with a customer. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which are distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which it expects to be entitled. The Company fulfils its performance obligation applicable to product sales once the product is transferred to the customer.

 

Development Services

 

The Company provides a range of services to life sciences customers referred to as “Development Services” including testing for biomarker discovery, assay design and development. These Development Services are performed under individual statement of work (“SOW”) arrangements with specific deliverables defined by the customer. Development Services are generally performed on a time and materials basis. During the performance and through completion of the service to the customer in accordance with the SOW, we have the right to bill the customer for the agreed upon price and we recognize the Development Services revenue over the period estimated to complete the SOW. We generally identify each SOW as a single performance obligation.

 

Completion of the service and satisfaction of the performance obligation under a SOW is typically evidenced by access to the data or test made available to the customer or any other form or applicable manner of delivery defined in the SOW. However, for certain SOWs under which work is performed pursuant to the customer’s highly customized specifications, we have the enforceable right to bill the customer for work completed, rather than upon completion of the SOW. For those SOWs, we recognize revenue over a period of time during which the work is performed based on the expended efforts (inputs). As the performance obligation under the SOW is satisfied, any amounts earned as revenue and billed to the customer are included in accounts receivable. Any revenues earned but not yet billed to the customer as of the date of the condensed financial statements are recorded as contract assets and are included in prepaids and other current assets as of the condensed financial statement date. Amounts recorded in contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable in our financial statements when the customer is invoiced according to the billing schedule in the contract.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

In circumstances where a SOW includes variable consideration component, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on which method is expected to better predict the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. The value of variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, and to the extent, it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. These estimates are reassessed each reporting period, as required, and any adjustment required is recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect revenue and net income in the period of adjustment.

 

Licensing Revenues

 

license revenues are determined based on an assessment of whether the license is distinct from any other performance obligations that may be included in the underlying licensing arrangement. If the customer is able to benefit from the license without provision of any other performance obligations by the Company and the license is thereby viewed as a distinct or functional license, the Company then determines whether the customer has acquired a right to use the license or a right to access the license. For functional licenses that do not require further substantive development or other ongoing activities by the Company, the customer is viewed as acquiring the right to use the license as, and when, transferred and revenues are generally recorded at a point in time. For symbolic licenses providing substantial value only in conjunction with other performance obligations to be provided by the Company, revenues are generally recorded over the term of the license agreement using the inputs based on contractual remaining time for such license. Such other obligations provided by the Company generally include manufactured products, additional development services or other deliverables that are contracted to be provided during the license term.

 

Royalties associated with licensing arrangements are estimated and recognized when sales under supply agreements with commercial licensees are recorded, absent any contractual constraints or collectability uncertainties. Royalties which are contingent on meeting certain sales milestones are recorded when it has become probable that milestones will be met.

 

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenues by type for the periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

   Recognition
Method
  2023   2022 
Product sales  Point in time  $40,237   $74,390 
Licensing revenues  Point in time   516,359    - 
Development services  Over time   1,536,165    54,383 
      $2,092,761   $128,773 

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and are accounted for under the provisions of ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”. The carrying amount of these financial instruments, as reflected in the condensed financial statements approximates fair value.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, requires that certain financial instruments be recognized at their fair values at our balance sheet dates. However, other financial instruments, such as debt obligations, are not required to be recognized at their fair values, but U.S. GAAP provides an option to elect fair value accounting for these instruments. U.S. GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair values of all financial instruments, regardless of whether they are recognized at their fair values or carrying amounts in our balance sheets. For financial instruments recognized at fair value, U.S. GAAP requires the disclosure of their fair values by type of instrument, along with other information, including changes in the fair values of certain financial instruments recognized in income or other comprehensive income. For financial instruments not recognized at fair value, the disclosure of their fair values is provided below under “Financial Instruments.”

 

Nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, and nonfinancial liabilities are recognized at their carrying amounts in the Company’s balance sheets. U.S. GAAP does not permit nonfinancial assets and liabilities to be remeasured at their fair values. However, U.S. GAAP requires the remeasurement of such assets and liabilities to their fair values upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the impairment of property, plant and equipment. In addition, if such an event occurs, U.S. GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair value of the asset or liability along with other information, including the gain or loss recognized in income in the period the remeasurement occurred.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 which required remeasurement at the respective reporting periods.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.

 

U.S. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments as follows: Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. Proceeds from these convertible notes are reported under the financing section of the statements of cash flows. Changes to the fair value of the derivative liability are reported as adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities in the accompanying statement of cash flows. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 the Company did not have any conversion options which required bifurcation from the host instrument.

 

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

 

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) covering eligible employees. The Plan provides retirement benefits based on employees’ years of service and compensation levels. The Company recognizes an asset for such plan’s overfunded status or a liability underfunded status in its balance sheets. Additionally, the Company measures its plan’s assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the year and recognizes the changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes are reported in ‘accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company uses actuarial valuations to determine its pension and postretirement benefit costs and credits. The amounts calculated depend on a variety of key assumptions, including discount rates and expected return on plan assets. Current market conditions are considered in selecting these assumptions.

 

The Company’s pension plans are generally valued using the net asset value (NAV) per share as a practical expedient for fair value provided certain criteria are met. The NAVs are determined based on the fair values of the underlying investments in the funds. In circumstances where the criteria are not met, fair is determined based on the underlying market in which the funds are traded which is generally considered to be an active market.

Note 7 – Defined Benefit Pension Plan

 

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan covering certain eligible employees. The plan provides retirement benefits based on years of service and compensation levels.

 

The value of the pension obligation is determined using the Projected Unit Credit (PUC) method. This method sees each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit entitlements/employee benefits. The value of the Company’s employee benefit obligations for active employees, or the Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO), on the reporting date is the same as the present value of the degree of entitlement existing on this date, in terms of future salary and pension increases and turnover rates. The valuation of pension obligations of pensioners is made on the basis of the present value of current pensions taking into account future increases in pensions. The service costs (SC) are calculated using the present value of the entitlements to employee benefits earned during the year for which calculations are made.

 

The following significant actuarial assumptions were used in calculating the benefit obligation and the net periodic benefit cost as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

 

   2023   2022 
Discount rate   1.90%   2.30%
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets   1.20%   2.30%
Rate of compensation increase   3.00%   3.00%

 

Changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on the plan’s obligations and costs.

 

The components of net periodic benefit cost for the periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

 

   2023   2022 
Service cost  $69,358   $118,310 
Interest cost   31,506    8,080 
Expected return on plan assets   (25,640)   (6,166)
Amortization of net (gain)/loss   (24,876)   (4,743)
Total  $50,348   $115,481
