EXPLANATORY NOTE REGARDING THE REVERSE MERGER

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company,” the “combined company,” “Mosaic,” “we,” “our,” or “us” in this transition report on Form 10-KT refer to Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. and its subsidiaries (formerly known as Patriot Scientific Corporation). References to “PTSC” refer to Patriot Scientific Corporation prior to the completion of the Reverse Merger (as discussed below) and references to “Private Mosaic” refer to privately held Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. prior to the completion of the Reverse Merger.

Reverse Merger

As reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 24, 2020 (“Original Form 8-K”), PTSC and Private Mosaic, a Delaware corporation organized on March 30, 2020 (date of inception), entered into a stock purchase agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) on August 19, 2020, whereby one of PTSC’s wholly-owned subsidiaries merged with and into Private Mosaic, with Private Mosaic surviving as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (the “Reverse Merger”). On August 21, 2020, the transaction closed (“Closing Date”) in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. On October 14, 2020, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K, which amends the Original Form 8-K to include the historical audited financial statements of Private Mosaic and unaudited pro forma financial statements of the combined company.

On the Closing Date, PTSC acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Private Mosaic, representing 630,000 shares of its Class A common stock (“Class A Stock”) and 70,000 shares of its Class B common stock (“Class B Stock”) (collectively referred to as “Target Common Stock”). In exchange for the Target Common Stock, the holders of the Class A Stock received 630,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and holders of the Class B Stock received 70,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”). Each share of Series A Preferred converts into 10.194106 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) of the Company and possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the common stock of the Company, as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation. Each share of Series B Preferred converts into 11.46837 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) of the Company, possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the common stock of the Company and contains certain anti-dilution rights, as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation. On a fully diluted, as converted basis, the holders of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, in aggregate, own 90% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the combined company as of the Closing Date.

The Reverse Merger was treated by the Company as a reverse merger in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). For accounting purposes, Private Mosaic is considered to have acquired PTSC as the accounting acquirer because: (i) Private Mosaic stockholders owned 90% of the combined company, on an as-converted basis, immediately following the Closing Date, (ii) Private Mosaic directors held a majority of board of director seats in the combined company and (iii) Private Mosaic management held all key positions in the management of the combined company. Accordingly, Private Mosaic’s historical results of operations will replace PTSC’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the Closing Date of the Reverse Merger and, for all periods following the Closing Date of the Reverse Merger, the results of operations of the combined company will be included in the Company’s financial statements. The Reverse Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Based on the inception of Private Mosaic on March 30, 2020, the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented in this transition report on Form 10-KT bear no relationship to the future business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company, and are not indicative of the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company, for any future period.

EXPLANATORY NOTE REGARDING THE TRANSITION PERIOD

On December 30, 2020, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company approved a change to its fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. The change in fiscal year became effective for the Company’s 2020 fiscal year, which began June 1, 2020 and ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, the Company is filing this transition report on Form 10-KT for the seven-month period from June 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 within the time period prescribed by the SEC. Based on the corporate inception of Private Mosaic on March 30, 2020 as the accounting acquirer, the prior year comparative financial information covers the period March 30, 2020 (date of inception) to May 31, 2020, included in this transition report on Form 10-KT.

PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

Business Overview

We are a preclinical, development-stage biotechnology company focused on a platform technology based on the immunostimulatory potential of nanotechnology-based therapeutics and vaccines to treat and prevent cancer and infectious diseases. Mosaic’s founders came together to focus on advancing the development of a novel nanoparticle-based intra-tumoral immunotherapy with broad potential to treat solid tumors in addition to pursuing the Modular Vaccine Platform, as described below.

Development Programs

Our lead immuno-oncology candidate, MI-O-101, resulted from years of research by our scientific co-founders that was supported by numerous grants totaling more than $20 million in aggregate from federal and private funding agencies. Published preclinical data from our co-founders’ studies and ongoing research support the anti-tumor activity of MI-O-101 as a monotherapy and have demonstrated its ability to improve anti-tumor effects when combined with standard cancer treatments including chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy. These studies include data from multiple preclinical tumor models, veterinary studies in companion animals with naturally occurring cancer, as well as showing the potential to activate human immune effector cells in vitro. MI-O-101 is currently in late-stage preclinical development with plans for advancement towards Phase I clinical trials as funding becomes available.

Our Modular Vaccine Platform (“MVP”) utilizes the same nanotechnology-based immune adjuvant as our therapeutic immuno-oncology candidate, chemically linked with carefully selected targets of interest to direct a potentially prophylactic or therapeutic immune response. In preclinical studies, this technology platform has demonstrated effectiveness when utilized with oncology targets, oncogenic virus targets and recently with viral infectious disease targets. Our MVP platform is designed to facilitate the rapid development of vaccine candidates due to its modular nature. The adjuvant and linking chemistry can be stockpiled and ready for the rapid identification of targets of interest which can be linked for testing in a short time. The MVP platform combined with our proprietary trans-dermal delivery system could potentially allow for self-administration and shipment of materials at room temperature, which makes the platform ideal for rapid response situations. We and our research partners are actively working with the MVP platform towards a possible lead candidate for COVID-19 while simultaneously advancing the system for rapid response, as well as the development of nanotechnology versions of more traditional vaccine candidates in infectious diseases and oncology.

Technology Overview

MI-O-101 is a nanoparticle-based treatment candidate derived from a plant virus called cowpea mosaic virus (“CPMV”). The product is injected directly into an identified tumor as an in situ vaccine intended to activate a robust immune response against the primary tumor and to prime systemic anti-tumor immunity, while reversing immunosuppressive signals in the tumor microenvironment (“TME”). Although plant viruses and their nanoparticle formulations, such as MI-O-101, are non-infectious toward mammals, their repetitive proteinaceous nature renders them highly visible to the immune system. The structure of MI-O-101 includes repetitive, multivalent coat protein assemblies known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (“PAMP”) that have been shown to activate the innate immune system. The primary PAMP receptors that recognize proteins are Toll-like receptors (“TLRs”). MI-O-101 is recognized by multiple TLRs, thus priming the innate immune system with high potency. Activation of innate immune cells within the TME leads to secretion of key cytokines involved in immunity mediated by T helper cells termed Th1 cells. Activated M1-type macrophages and N1-type neutrophils, as well as natural killer cells lead to tumor cell killing and subsequent antigen-processing leading to adaptive anti-tumor immunity. Most importantly, preclinical data show that MI-O-101 treatment leads to long-lasting immune memory, thus protecting from recurrence of the disease. Efficacy of MI-O-101 has been demonstrated in mouse models of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, and melanoma. Studies in companion dogs with melanoma, sarcoma, and breast cancer indicate that the potent anti-tumor efficacy of MI-O-101 can be replicated in these animals.

Business Strategy

Our strategy is to leverage our considerable industry experience, understanding of immunotherapies, and development expertise to identify, develop and commercialize product candidates with significant market potential that can fulfill unmet medical needs in the treatment of cancer. We have assembled a management team along with both scientific and business advisors, including recognized experts in the field of immunotherapy, with significant industry and regulatory experience to lead and execute the development and commercialization of MI-O-101.

We plan to further develop MI-O-101 as our lead program. The regulatory pathway required to support an NDA submission will consist of conducting a full clinical development program which will take several years. We will continue to prioritize our product development activities after taking into account the financial resources we have available, market dynamics and the potential for adding value.

Our Corporate History and Background

Private Mosaic, a Delaware corporation, was formed on March 30, 2020. On July 1, 2020, we signed a Material Transfer, Evaluation, and Exclusive Option Agreement (“License Option Agreement”) with Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”), granting us the exclusive right to license technology for a novel platform technology using immunostimulatory nanotechnology-based therapeutics and vaccines to treat and prevent cancer and infectious diseases in humans and for veterinary use. On August 21, 2020, we closed a Reverse Merger transaction (as discussed below) by and between Patriot Scientific Corporation (now known as Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.) and Private Mosaic. On November 30, 2020, we filed amended and restated articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (“Amended and Restated Certificate”) to change the name of the Company to Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. (“Name Change”), to implement a 1-for-500 reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”), and to reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock from 600 million to 100 million. The Reverse Stock Split was effective on December 2, 2020. All share numbers and preferred stock conversion numbers included herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-500 Reverse Stock Split. On December 30, 2020, we changed our fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. The following discussion represents additional information pertaining to these key corporate events:

Reverse Merger

On August 19, 2020, Patriot Scientific Corporation (now known as Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.) and Private Mosaic entered into a stock purchase agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”), whereby one of the wholly owned subsidiaries of Patriot Scientific Corporation merged with and into Private Mosaic, with Private Mosaic surviving as wholly owned subsidiary of Patriot Scientific Corporation (the “Reverse Merger”). The transaction closed on August 21, 2020 (“Closing Date”) in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

On the Closing Date, Patriot Scientific Corporation acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Private Mosaic, representing 630,000 shares of its Class A common stock (“Class A Stock”) and 70,000 shares of its Class B common stock (“Class B Stock”) (collectively referred to as “Target Common Stock”). In exchange for the Target Common Stock, the holders of the Class A Stock received 630,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and holders of the Class B Stock received 70,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”). Each share of Series A Preferred converts into 10.194106 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) of the Company and possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the common stock of the Company, as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation. Each share of Series B Preferred converts into 11.46837 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) of the Company, possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the common stock of the Company and contains certain anti-dilution rights, as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation. On a fully diluted, as converted basis, the holders of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, in aggregate, own approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.

The Reverse Merger was treated by the Company as a reverse merger in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). For accounting purposes, Private Mosaic is considered to have acquired PTSC as the accounting acquirer because: (i) Private Mosaic stockholders owned 90% of the combined company, on an as-converted basis, immediately following the Closing Date, (ii) Private Mosaic directors held a majority of board seats in the combined company and (iii) Private Mosaic management held all key positions in the management of the combined company. Accordingly, Private Mosaic’s historical results of operations will replace PTSC’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the Closing Date of the Reverse Merger and, for all periods following the Closing Date of the Reverse Merger, the results of operations of the combined company will be included in the Company’s financial statements.

Based on the inception of Private Mosaic on March 30, 2020, the prior year financial information and the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented in this transition report on Form 10-KT bear no relationship to the future business, financial condition, and results of operations of the Company.

Name Change

On November 30, 2020, Patriot Scientific Corporation changed its name to Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. to align the Company’s corporate name with its new strategic direction, upon filing its Amended and Restated Certificate.

Reverse Stock Split

On October 21, 2020 and October 22, 2020, our Board of Directors and majority shareholders, respectively, approved the Reverse Stock Split of one (1) share of our Common Stock for every 500 shares of our Common Stock (“1-for-500”). On November 30, 2020, we filed the Amended and Restated Certificate to effect a Reverse Stock Split on December 2, 2020, whereby every 500 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of its common stock, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split resulted in any of the Company’s stockholders owning a fractional share, which was rounded up to the next highest whole share. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, there was no change in the par value per share of $0.00001. The following chart reflects the changes in our capital structure, including the assumed conversion of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, following the Reverse Stock Split, and the issuance of 3,017 new shares of common stock in lieu of fractional shares.

Reverse Stock Split Ratio	Shares of Common Stock Issued and Outstanding		Series A Preferred (1)		Shares of Common Stock to Be Issued Upon Conversion of Series A Preferred (1)		Series B Preferred (2)		Shares of Common Stock to Be Issued Upon Conversion of Series B Preferred (2)		Fully Diluted Shares of Common Stock Outstanding, on an as-converted basis

	(1)	Each share of the Series A Preferred shall convert into 10.194106 shares of Common Stock of the Company and possesses full voting rights, as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation.

(2)

Each share of the Series B Preferred shall convert into 11.46837 shares of Common Stock of the Company, possesses full voting rights and includes certain anti-dilution rights as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation.

Change in Fiscal Year

On December 30, 2020, the Board approved a change to our fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. The change in fiscal year is effective for the Company’s 2020 fiscal year, which began June 1, 2020 and ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, the Company is filing this transition report on Form 10-KT for the seven-month period from June 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

License Option Agreement

On July 1, 2020, we signed a License Option Agreement with CWRU, granting us the exclusive right to license technology for a novel platform technology using immunostimulatory nanotechnology-based therapeutics and vaccines to treat and prevent cancer and infectious diseases in humans and for veterinary use. Under the License Option Agreement, CWRU granted us an exclusive option for a period of two (2) years to negotiate and enter into a license agreement with CWRU, provided that we meet certain diligence milestones, including but not limited to, (i) delivering a development plan within 18 months, (ii) raising $3 million in either equity, debt, or grant funding, or a combination thereof within 18 months, (iii), generating sufficient preclinical data to support the identification of the initial field of use to support the initial planned clinical indication for the technology, (iv) determining manufacturing processes and cGMP requirements to manufacture the initial product for use in toxicology studies, and (v) identifying required toxicology studies required to support Phase I clinical trials in the initial field of use.

Under the License Option Agreement, we issued CWRU 70,000 shares of Series B Preferred under the Reverse Merger, which included certain anti-dilution rights. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Series B Preferred holder will continue to maintain ownership equal to 10% of the fully diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding of the Company, including for such purposes all other convertible securities outstanding and reserved for issuance except stock options issued and outstanding and reserved for issuance under a Board approved employee stock option plans reserving for issuance no more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company then outstanding, until we initially raise at least $1 million from the sale of either preferred or common stock, or a combination thereof (“Capital Threshold”). In addition, pursuant to the License Option Agreement, net working capital acquired under the Reverse Merger of approximately $374,000 was applied against the Capital Threshold. As of December 31, 2020, the remaining Capital Threshold was approximately $626,000.

Patents and Proprietary Rights

Our License Option Agreement

Under the License Option Agreement, we have the rights to evaluate the development of products under three patent families for an initial period of two years ending July 1, 2022. Within the two-year period, provided we achieve our diligence milestones as described above, we have the right to negotiate and execute a license agreement with CWRU. While we believe we can achieve these diligence milestones within the two-year period, as of December 31, 2020, we have not achieved completion of any of these diligence milestones. In the event we are not able to achieve these diligence milestones by July 1, 2022, our core technology may no longer be available to us to further develop. If we are able to secure a definitive license under the License Option Agreement, the following represents a summary of the three patent families that may be available to us:

	1.	Immuno-Oncology: “Cancer Immunotherapy using Virus Particles", with PCT Patent Application, Publication No. WO 2016/073972 and associated U.S. applications, including unpublished U.S. application Serial No. 16/851,778, and foreign patents or applications in Europe, Japan, China, Canada and Australia.
	2.	Vaccine and Transdermal Delivery: “Melt Processed Viral Nanoparticle Constructs”, with U.S. Patent Application, Publication No. US 2019/0350871 and European Patent Application, Publication No. EP 3 535 283 (PCT, WO 2018/085658).
	3.	Drug Delivery: “Non-Covalent Loading of Plant Picornavirus Particles”, with US Patent No. 10,590,394 and European Patent No. 2 958 993.

As of December 31, 2020, the aforementioned patent families included two (2) issued U.S. patents, five (5) issued or granted foreign patents and ten (10) additional pending U.S. and foreign patent applications claiming methods of treating cancer using certain plant viruses, both alone and in combination therapies, and certain methods of manufacture thereof.

Our patent strategy is to in-license and/or file patent applications on innovations and improvements to cover a significant majority of the major pharmaceutical markets in the world. Generally, assuming all maintenance fees are paid, patents have a term of twenty years from the earliest priority date (other than a priority date for a provisional application). In some instances, patent terms can be increased or decreased, depending on the laws and regulations of the country or jurisdiction that issued the patent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the patent position of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies generally is highly uncertain, involves complex legal and factual questions and has in recent years been the subject of much litigation. In addition, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Publications of discoveries in the scientific literature often lag behind the actual discoveries, and patent applications in the United States and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, or in limited cases not at all. Therefore, we cannot know with certainty whether we were the first to make the inventions claimed in our owned or licensed patents or pending patent applications, or that we were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions. Also, examination is often lengthy and can involve numerous challenges to the claims sought. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial value of our patent rights are highly uncertain. Pending and future patent applications may not result in patents being issued which protect our technology or products, in whole or in part, or which effectively prevent others from commercializing competitive technologies and products. Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the United States, the European Union, and other countries may diminish the value of the underlying patents under our License Option Agreement or narrow the scope of our patent protection.

Our success depends in large part on our ability and CWRU’s ability to obtain and maintain patent protection in the United States, the European Union, and other major pharmaceutical markets with respect to our proprietary technology and products under the License Option Agreement. We or CWRU will seek to protect our proprietary position by filing patent applications in the United States and internationally that are related to our novel technologies and product candidates. We currently heavily rely on CWRU to assist with protecting the underlying patents and patent applications under the License Option Agreement.

In addition, the patent prosecution process is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. We or CWRU may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations and may choose not to pursue patent protection in certain jurisdictions, and under the laws of certain jurisdictions, patents or other intellectual property rights may be unavailable or limited in scope. It is also possible that we or CWRU will fail to identify patentable aspects of our discovery and preclinical development output before it is too late to obtain patent protection. Moreover, in some circumstances, we may not have the right to control the preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications, or to maintain the patents, covering technology under the License Option Agreement. Therefore, these patents and applications may not be prosecuted and enforced in a manner consistent with the best interests of our business. Any inability by us or CWRU to protect adequately the underlying intellectual property covered by the License Option Agreement may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial position.

Our Trade Secrets

We also rely upon unpatented trade secrets, and there is no assurance that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or disclose such technology, or that such rights can be meaningfully protected. We require our employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, and other advisers to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment or consulting relationships with us. These agreements provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the individual's relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific circumstances. In the case of our employees, the agreement provides that all inventions conceived by such employees shall be our exclusive property. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection or adequate remedies for our trade secrets in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information.

Third-Party Rights

Our success also depends in part on our ability to gain access to third-party patent and proprietary rights and to operate our business without infringing on third-party patent rights. We may be required to obtain licenses to patents or other proprietary rights from third parties to develop, manufacture and commercialize our product candidates. Licenses required under third-party patents or proprietary rights may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we do not obtain the required licenses, we could encounter delays in product development while we attempt to redesign products or methods or we could be unable to develop, manufacture or sell products, if approved, requiring these licenses at all. The failure to obtain licenses, if needed, may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial position.

Our planned research and development activities, including testing in laboratory animals and in humans, our manufacture of MI-O-101, and oversight of suppliers and contract manufacturers involved in the production of our product candidates, as well as the design, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, handling, labeling, storage, record-keeping, advertising, promotion and marketing of the product candidates that we are developing, are all subject to stringent regulation, primarily by the FDA in the United States under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the "FDCA") and its implementing regulations, and the Public Health Service Act ("PHS Act") and its implementing regulations, and by comparable authorities under similar laws and regulations in other countries. If for any reason we do not comply with applicable requirements, such noncompliance can result in various adverse consequences, including one or more delays in approval of, or even the refusal to approve, product licenses or other applications, the suspension or termination of clinical investigations, the revocation of approvals if granted, as well as fines, criminal prosecution, recall or seizure of products, injunctions against shipping products and total or partial suspension of production and/or refusal to allow us to enter into governmental supply contracts.

Product Development and Approval Process

In the United States, our product candidates are regulated as biologic pharmaceuticals, or biologics. The FDA's regulatory authority for the approval of biologics resides in the PHS Act. However, biologics are also subject to regulation under the FDCA because most biological products also meet the FDCA's definition of "drugs." Most pharmaceuticals or "conventional drugs" consist of pure chemical substances and their structures are known. Most biologics, however, are complex mixtures that are not easily identified or characterized. Biological products differ from conventional drugs in that they tend to be heat-sensitive and susceptible to microbial contamination, thus requiring sterile manufacturing processes. The process required by the FDA before biologic product candidates may be marketed in the United States generally involves the following:

completion of preclinical laboratory tests and animal studies performed in accordance with the FDA’s current Good Laboratory Practices regulations;

submission to the FDA of an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin and must be updated annually;

approval by an independent Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) ethics committee at each clinical site before the trial is initiated;

performance of adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to establish the safety, purity and potency of the proposed biologic, and its safety and efficacy for each indication;

preparation of and submission to the FDA of a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for a new biologic, after completion of all pivotal clinical trials;

satisfactory completion of an FDA Advisory Committee review, if applicable;

a determination by the FDA within 60 days of its receipt of a BLA to file the application for review;

satisfactory completion of an FDA pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) regulations; and

FDA review and approval of a BLA for a new biologic, prior to any commercial marketing or sale of the product in the United States.

Preclinical tests assess the potential safety and efficacy of a product candidate in animal models. Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational product to human subjects under the supervision of qualified investigators in accordance with current Good Clinical Practices (“cGCPs”), which include the requirement that all research subjects provide their informed consent for their participation in any clinical trial. A protocol for each clinical trial and any subsequent protocol amendments must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. Additionally, approval must also be obtained from each clinical trial site’s IRB before the trials may be initiated, and the IRB must monitor the study until completed. There are also requirements governing the reporting of ongoing clinical trials and clinical trial results to public registries.

The clinical investigation of a pharmaceutical, including a biologic, is generally divided into three phases. Although the phases are usually conducted sequentially, they may overlap or be combined.

Phase I studies are designed to evaluate the safety, dosage tolerance, metabolism and pharmacologic actions of the investigational product in humans, the side effects associated with increasing doses, and if possible, to gain early evidence on effectiveness.

Phase II includes controlled clinical trials conducted to preliminarily or further evaluate the effectiveness of the investigational product for a particular indication(s) in patients with the disease or condition under study, to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage, and to identify possible adverse side effects and safety risks associated with the product.

Phase III clinical trials are generally controlled clinical trials conducted in an expanded patient population generally at geographically dispersed clinical trial sites, and are intended to further evaluate dosage, clinical effectiveness and safety, to establish the overall benefit-risk relationship of the investigational product, and to provide an adequate basis for product approval.

Phase IV clinical trials may be required to as post-marketing studies to find out more about the product’s long-term risks, benefits, and optimal use, or to test the drug in different populations.

The FDA may place clinical trials on hold at any point in this process if, among other reasons, it concludes that clinical subjects are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Trials may also be terminated by IRBs, which must review and approve all research involving human subjects. Side effects or adverse events that are reported during clinical trials can delay, impede or prevent marketing authorization.

The results of the preclinical and clinical testing, along with information regarding the manufacturing of the product and proposed product labeling, are evaluated and, if determined appropriate, submitted to the FDA through a BLA. The application includes all relevant data available from pertinent preclinical and clinical trials, including negative or ambiguous results as well as positive findings, together with detailed information relating to the product’s chemistry, manufacturing, controls and proposed labeling, among other things. Once the BLA submission has been accepted for filing, the FDA’s standard goal is to review applications within ten months of the filing date or, if the application relates to a drug that treats a serious condition and would provide a significant improvement in safety or effectiveness qualifying for Priority Review, six months from the filing date. The review process is often significantly extended by FDA requests for additional information or clarification.

The FDA offers certain programs, such as Breakthrough Therapy Designation (“BTD”) and Fast Track designation, designed to expedite the development and review of applications for products intended for the treatment of a serious or life-threatening disease or condition. For BTD, preliminary clinical evidence of the product indicates that it may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. If BTD or Fast Track designation is obtained, the FDA may initiate review of sections of a BLA before the application is complete, and the product may be eligible for accelerated approval. However, receipt of BTD or Fast Track designation for a product candidate does not ensure that a product will be developed or approved on an expedited basis, and such designation may be rescinded if the product candidate is found to no longer meet the qualifying criteria.

The FDA reviews the BLA to determine, among other things, whether the proposed product is safe, pure and potent, which includes determining whether it is effective for its intended use, and whether the product is being manufactured in accordance with cGMP, to assure and preserve the product’s identity, strength, quality, potency and purity. The FDA may refer an application to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved, and applications for new molecular entities and original BLAs are generally discussed at advisory committee meetings unless the FDA determines that this type of consultation is not needed under the circumstances. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it typically follows such recommendations.

After the FDA evaluates the BLA and conducts inspections of manufacturing facilities, it may issue an approval letter or a complete response letter (“CRL”). An approval letter authorizes commercial marketing of the biologic with specific prescribing information for specific indications. A CRL indicates that the review cycle of the application is complete and the application is not ready for approval. A CRL may require additional inspections, and/or other significant, expensive and time-consuming requirements related to clinical trials, preclinical studies or manufacturing. Even if such additional information is submitted, the FDA may ultimately decide that the BLA does not satisfy the criteria for approval. The FDA could approve the BLA with a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy ("REMS") plan to mitigate risks, which could include medication guides, physician communication plans, or elements to assure safe use, such as restricted distribution methods, patient registries and other risk minimization tools. The FDA also may condition approval on, among other things, changes to proposed labeling, development of adequate controls and specifications, or a commitment to conduct one or more post-market studies or clinical trials. Such post-market testing may include Phase IV clinical trials and surveillance to further assess and monitor the product’s safety and effectiveness after commercialization.

Foreign Regulation

In addition to regulations in the United States, we are subject to a variety of foreign regulations governing clinical trials and commercial sales and distribution of our product candidates being developed, and products being marketed outside of the United States. We must obtain approval by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries before we can commence clinical trials or marketing of our products in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country, and the time may be longer or shorter than that required by the FDA for BLA licensure. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary greatly from country to country.

Manufacturing

We have limited experience in manufacturing MI-O-101 and we currently do not possess any internal manufacturing infrastructure or capabilities, especially in the growth and manufacturing of plant viruses. We plan to rely on internal manufacturing and development capabilities, as capital resources become available and capabilities are developed, in addition to third-party contract manufacturing and development organizations, or CDMOs, to manufacture our biological product candidates for clinical testing, as well as for commercial manufacture if our product candidates receive marketing approval. We believe that this strategy hybrid will enable us to control and manage preclinical and early-stage clinical manufacturing while outsourcing other aspects of manufacturing and later-stage clinical manufacturing that would likely require higher infrastructure cost to build and operate. As with any supply program, obtaining pre-clinical and clinical materials of sufficient quality and quantity to meet the requirements of our development programs cannot be guaranteed and we cannot ensure that we will be successful in this endeavor. To date, we have not manufactured any of our products candidates due to our limited capital resources.

Sales and Marketing

None of our product candidates has been approved for sale. If and when our product candidates advance closer to marketing approval, we may commercialize them on our own in the United States and potentially with pharmaceutical or biotechnology partners in other geographies. We currently have no sales, marketing or commercialization capabilities and have no experience as a company doing such activities. However, we may build the necessary capabilities and infrastructure over time following the advancement of our product candidates. Clinical data, the size of the opportunity and the size of the commercial infrastructure required will influence our commercialization plans and decision making.

Competition

Competition in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is intense and characterized by aggressive research and development and rapidly evolving science, technology, and standards of medical care throughout the world. Regarding our competitive position in the industry, our lead product, MI-O-101, is in preclinical development in oncology and would face competition with all other immuno-oncology products either in development or already approved. Many of the companies against which we are competing or against which we may compete in the future have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, conducting preclinical studies, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing approved products than we do. Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries may result in even more resources being concentrated among a smaller number of our competitors. Smaller and other early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. Potential competitors also include academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private research organizations that conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangements for research, development, manufacturing and commercialization. These third parties also compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel, establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs. Our commercial opportunity could be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and commercialize products that are safer, more effective, have fewer or less severe side effects, are more convenient or are less expensive than any products that we may develop. In addition, our ability to compete may be affected in many cases by insurers or other third-party payers seeking to encourage the use of biosimilar or generic products.

Risks Related to Our Operations

We expect that we will incur significant losses over the next several years and may never achieve or maintain profitability.

Private Mosaic was formed on March 30, 2020, and therefore, we have limited operating history and we have not raised any capital other than the remaining net assets acquired under the Reverse Merger. Therefore, our historical results do not reflect the significant costs required to develop our product candidates. In addition, our products are in preclinical development and therefore, we anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially over the next several years, if and as we:

develop product manufacturing processes under the Food and Drug Administration's (“FDA’s”) current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations (“cGMP”) for each of our product candidates and enter into manufacturing supply agreements to support toxicology studies and initial Phase I clinical trials;

contract preclinical toxicology studies to support the safety of our product candidates prior to starting any human trial;

continue preclinical research and translational studies to enhance our understanding of the mechanism of action of the product candidates;

enter into collaboration arrangements with regards to product discovery and product development;

in-license our products and technologies from Case Western Reserve University and acquire rights to other technologies;

prepare regulatory filings, such as filing Investigational New Drug (“IND”) applications with the FDA that are required prior to starting any human clinical trial;

plan, initiate, enroll, and complete clinical trials;

maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;

hire additional personnel to support our research, development, and administrative efforts; and

operate as a public company.

We expect that it will be several years, if ever, before we have a product candidate ready for commercialization. If we are unable to advance our product candidates and begin to generate clinical data, we may have greater difficulty raising capital on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, there are many risks associated with our financial position and need for additional capital, as further described below under the section titled “Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital”.

If we are able to raise sufficient capital, we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future. The net losses that we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.

To become and remain profitable, we or a potential partner must develop and eventually commercialize a product or products with significant market potential. This will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including completing all phases of clinical trials of our product candidates, obtaining marketing approval for these product candidates and manufacturing, marketing and selling those products for which we obtain marketing approval. We or a potential partner may never succeed in these activities and, even if we do, may never generate revenues that are significant or large enough to achieve profitability. If we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our development efforts will take several years and will require significant capital, that will dilute the ownership interest of common stockholders. A decline in the value of the Company could also cause stockholders to lose all or part of their investment.

Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the Company’s limited cash on hand and its limited operating history raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We are early in our development efforts and our product candidates are in preclinical development.

We currently do not have any products that have gained regulatory approval. Our ability to generate product revenues, which we do not expect will occur for several years, if ever, will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of our product candidates. As a result, our business is substantially dependent on our ability to successfully complete the development of and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.

We have not yet demonstrated an ability to successfully overcome many of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving fields, particularly in the nanotechnology area. If we are unsuccessful in accomplishing the numerous and complex objectives in developing our product candidates, we may not be able to successfully develop and commercialize our two product candidates, and our business will suffer.

Our short operating history may make it difficult to evaluate the success of our business to date and to assess our future viability.

We are an early development stage biotechnology company formed on March 30, 2020. Our ongoing operations to date have been limited to organizing the Company, business planning, acquiring rights to license the technology, identifying potential product candidates, and undertaking preclinical studies in collaboration with our external researchers under university approved grants. In addition, we have limited human resources to help us achieve our goals. Consequently, any predictions made about our future success or viability based on our short operating history to date may not be as accurate as they could be if we had a longer and more established operating history. In addition, as an early-stage business, we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other known and unknown factors.

Business interruptions resulting from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak or similar public health crises could cause a disruption of the development of our product candidates and adversely impact our business.

Public health crises such as pandemics or similar outbreaks could adversely impact our business. In December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus surfaced in Wuhan, China and has reached multiple other regions and countries, including the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, and to date has led to the implementation of various mitigation responses, including government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions and other public health safety measures, as well as leading to reported adverse impacts on healthcare resources, facilities and providers across the United States and in other countries. COVID-19 may cause delays in our research activities, and while COVID-19 has not materially affected our operations to date, the extent to which COVID-19 could impact our operations or those of our third-party partners will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, a potential vaccine, additional or modified government actions, new information that will emerge concerning the severity and impact of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or address its impact in the short and long term, among others. Timely initiation and completion of planned preclinical studies is dependent upon the availability of, for example, preclinical study sites, university researchers and investigators, regulatory agency personnel, and materials, which may be adversely affected by global health matters, such as pandemics. We plan to conduct preclinical studies in geographies that are currently being affected by COVID-19. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 pandemic have caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets which may adversely impact our stock price and our ability to access the capital markets.

The Company and its subsidiaries have limited insurance for their operations and are subject to various risks of loss.

The Company and its subsidiaries carry limited directors’ and officers’ insurance with a high deductible. In addition, we do not carry general business liability insurance or other insurance applicable to our business. Successful claims against the Company would likely render us insolvent. The Company has not reserved any amounts in connection with self-insuring against any potential claims against the Company or its subsidiaries.

Drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome, including failure to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA or similar regulatory authorities outside the United States. We may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the product manufacturing of our product candidates.

Given the early stage of development for both product candidates, the risk of failure for our product candidates is high. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete formulation development for our products, conduct nonclinical trials, and then conduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidates in humans. In addition, product manufacturing and process development along with preclinical and clinical testing are all expensive activities, difficult to design and implement, and can take several years to complete. The outcome of preclinical and clinical trials is inherently uncertain. Failure can occur at any time during the development program, including during the clinical trial process. Further, the results of preclinical studies and early clinical trials of our product candidates, may not be predictive of the results of later-stage clinical trials. Moreover, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, and many companies that have believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtain marketing approval of their products. It is impossible to predict when or if any of our product candidates will prove effective and safe in humans or will receive regulatory approval.

We may experience delays in our planned clinical trials, and we do not know whether planned clinical trials will begin or enroll subjects on time, need to be redesigned or be completed on schedule, if at all. There can be no assurance that the FDA or any other foreign regulatory body will not put any of our product candidates on clinical hold in the future. We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent our ability to receive marketing approval or commercialize our product candidates. Planned clinical trials may be delayed, suspended or prematurely terminated for a variety of reasons, such as:

delay or failure in reaching agreement with the FDA, European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), or a comparable foreign regulatory authority on a trial design that we want to execute;

delay or failure in obtaining authorization to commence a trial or inability to comply with conditions imposed by a regulatory authority regarding the scope or design of a clinical study;

delays in reaching, or failure to reach, agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trial sites;

inability, delay, or failure in identifying and maintaining a sufficient number of trial sites, many of which may already be engaged in other clinical programs;

delay or failure in recruiting and enrolling suitable subjects to participate in a trial;

delay or failure in having subjects complete a trial or return for post-treatment follow-up;

clinical sites and investigators deviating from trial protocol, failing to conduct the trial in accordance with regulatory requirements, or dropping out of a trial;

lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial, including the incurrence of unforeseen costs due to enrollment delays, requirements to conduct additional clinical studies and increased expenses associated with the services of our contract research organizations (“CROs”) and other third parties;

clinical trials of our product candidates may produce negative or inconclusive results, and we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;

the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidates may be larger than we anticipate, enrollment in these clinical trials may be slower than we anticipate, or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;

we may experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients that our product candidates are designed to target based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria;

our third-party contractors may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner, or at all;

we may have difficulty partnering with experienced Clinical Research Organization (“CROs”) and study sites that can identify patients that our product candidates are designed to target and run our clinical trials effectively;

regulators or institutional review boards (“IRBs”) may require that we or our investigators suspend or terminate clinical research for various reasons, including noncompliance with regulatory requirements or a finding that the participants are being exposed to unacceptable health risks;

the cost of clinical trials of our product candidates may be greater than we anticipate;

the supply or quality of our product candidates or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our product candidates may be insufficient or inadequate; or

there may be changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions.

If we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testing of our product candidates beyond those that we currently contemplate, if we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidates or other testing, if the results of these trials or tests are not positive or are only modestly positive, or if there are safety concerns, we may:

be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidates, if ever;

obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as intended or desired;

obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or safety warnings that would reduce the potential market for our products or inhibit our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates;

be subject to additional post-marketing restrictions and/or testing requirements; or

have the product removed from the market after obtaining marketing approval.

Product development costs will also increase if we experience delays in testing or marketing approvals. We do not know whether any of our preclinical studies or clinical trials will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also could shorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or may allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, which would cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing.

If serious adverse events or unacceptable side effects are identified during the development of our product candidates, we may need to abandon or limit our development of some of our product candidates.

If our product candidates are associated with undesirable effects in preclinical or clinical trials or have characteristics that are unexpected, we may need to interrupt, delay or abandon their development or limit development to more narrow uses or subpopulations in which the undesirable side effects or other characteristics are less prevalent, less severe or more acceptable from a risk-benefit perspective. Currently unknown, drug-related side effects may be identified in our planned clinical studies and, as such, these possible drug-related side effects could affect patient recruitment, the ability of enrolled subjects to complete the trial, or result in potential product liability claims. Reported serious adverse events may arise and the occurrence, whatever the cause, may impact the conduct of any ongoing or future clinical trial. To date, our product candidates have not been evaluated in any human clinical studies. Any occurrence of clinically significant adverse events may harm our business, financial condition and prospects significantly.

Our business and operations would suffer in the event of computer system failures, cyber-attacks or deficiencies in our or third parties’ cyber security.

Given our limited operating history, we are still in the process of implementing our internal security measures. Our internal computer systems and those of current and future third parties on which we rely may fail and are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses and unauthorized access. Our information technology and other planned internal infrastructure systems, including corporate firewalls, servers, connection to the Internet, face the risk of systemic failure that could disrupt our operations. If such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our development programs and our business operations. To the extent that any disruption or security breach were to result in a loss of, or damage to, our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur liability, our competitive position could be harmed and the further development and commercialization of our product candidates or any future product candidates could be hindered or delayed. In addition, due to limited corporate infrastructure, our entire workforce is currently working remotely. This could increase our cyber security risk, create data accessibility concerns, and make us more susceptible to communication disruptions.

We do not presently maintain insurance coverage to protect against cybersecurity risks. If we procure such coverage in the future, we cannot ensure that it will be sufficient to cover any loss we may experience as a result of such cyberattacks. Any cyber incident could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we fail to establish and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, our operating results and our ability to operate our business could be harmed.

Ensuring that we will have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or GAAP.

In addition, we will be required to be compliant with public company internal control requirements mandated under Section 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will be implementing measures designed to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including bringing in additional accounting resources, if necessary, and establishing new accounting and financial reporting procedures to establish an appropriate level of internal controls over financial reporting. However, we are still in the process of implementing these measures and cannot provide assurances that we will be successful in doing so. If we are unable to successfully implement internal controls over financial reporting, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting, and our stock price, may be adversely affected.

Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may distract the officers and employees of the Company, entail substantial costs to modify its existing processes and take significant time to complete. These changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of the internal controls of the Company, and any failure to maintain that adequacy, or consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could increase operating costs and harm the business. In addition, investors’ perceptions that the internal controls of the Company are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis may harm the stock price of the Company.

Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital

We will need substantial additional funding. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, we would be compelled to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts.

We expect our expenses to significantly increase in parallel with our ongoing activities, particularly as we initiate product manufacturing to support preclinical and clinical testing, preclinical studies, including toxicology studies, clinical development, and eventually, if successful, seek marketing approval for, our product candidates. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to further delay our preclinical and clinical development programs or any future commercialization efforts.

Based upon current operating plans, our current working capital is insufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. We will require additional capital to support our development plans and eventually the commercialization of our product candidates, if approved, and may also need to raise additional funds to pursue other development activities related to additional product candidates. Our funding needs may fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including, but not limited to:

the scope, progress, results and costs of product development and manufacture of drug product to support preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates;

the extent to which we enter into additional collaboration arrangements regarding product discovery or development;

the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

our ability to establish additional collaborations with favorable terms, if at all;

the costs of future commercialization activities, including product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;

The costs to in-license our product candidates from Case Western Reserve University, and others if we acquire or in-license other products or technologies; and

revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval.

Identifying potential product candidates and conducting manufacturing and process development, preclinical testing and clinical trials is a time-consuming, expensive and uncertain process that takes years to complete, and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain marketing approval and achieve product sales. In addition, our product candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success. Our commercial revenues, if any, will be derived from sales of products that we do not expect to be commercially available for several years, if at all. Accordingly, we will need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our business objectives. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

Raising capital will cause dilution to our stockholders, restrict our operations, or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings and/or debt financings. We do not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity and/or debt securities, the ownership interest of common stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common 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 capital expenditures, or restricting the use of proceeds for only certain operational activities.

We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts.

Because the Reverse Merger resulted in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code for PTSC, PTSC’s pre-merger net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be subject to limitations.

If a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code, the corporation’s net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes arising from before the ownership change are subject to limitations on use after the ownership change. In general, an ownership change occurs if there is a cumulative change in the corporation’s equity ownership by certain stockholders that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. The Reverse Merger resulted in an ownership change for PTSC and, accordingly, PTSC’s net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be subject to limitations (or disallowance) on their use after the Reverse Merger. Additional ownership changes in the future could result in additional limitations on the Company’s post-merger net operating loss carryforwards. Consequently, even if the Company achieves profitability, it may not be able to utilize a material portion of PTSC’s, or the post-merger Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes, which could have a material adverse effect on cash flow and results of operations.

Risks Related to the Commercialization of Our Product Candidates

We face substantial competition, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing competing products before or more successfully than we do.

The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We face competition with respect to our current product candidates, and will face competition with respect to any product candidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future, from major pharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide. There are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that currently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of products for the treatment of the disease indications for which we are developing our product candidates. Some of these competitive products and therapies are based on scientific approaches in immuno-oncology that are similar to our approach, and others are based on entirely different approaches. Potential competitors also include academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private research organizations that conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangements for research, development, manufacturing and commercialization.

Our commercial opportunity could be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and commercialize products that are safer, more effective, have fewer or less severe side effects, are more convenient or are less expensive than any products that we may develop. In addition, our ability to compete may be affected in many cases by insurers or other third-party payers seeking to encourage the use of biosimilar or generic products.

Many of the companies against which we are competing or against which we may compete in the future have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, conducting preclinical studies, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing approved products than we do. Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries may result in even more resources being concentrated among a smaller number of our competitors. Smaller and other early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. These third parties compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel, establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs.

Product liability lawsuits against us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to limit commercialization of any products that we may develop.

We will face an inherent risk of product liability exposure related to the testing of our product candidates in human clinical trials and will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any products that we may develop. If we cannot successfully defend against claims that our product candidates or products caused injuries, we will incur substantial liabilities. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

decreased demand for any product candidates or products that we may develop, if approved;

injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention;

withdrawal of clinical trial participants;

significant costs to defend the related litigation;

substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;

loss of revenue, if approved;

reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and

the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.

We currently have no product liability insurance coverage as our product candidates are not ready for clinical testing in patients. When we secure product liability insurance, it may not be adequate to cover all liabilities that we may incur. We may need to increase our insurance coverage as we expand our clinical trials or if we commence commercialization of our product candidates. Insurance coverage is increasingly expensive. We may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in an amount adequate to satisfy any liability that may arise.

Risks Related to Our Dependence on Third Parties

Future development collaborations may be important to us. If we are unable to enter into or maintain these collaborations, or if these collaborations are not successful, our business could be adversely affected.

For any of our product candidates, we may in the future determine to seek to collaborate with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for development of our product candidates. We face significant competition in seeking appropriate collaborators. Our ability to reach a definitive agreement for any collaboration will depend, among other things, upon our assessment of the collaborator’s resources and expertise, the terms and conditions of the proposed collaboration and the proposed collaborator’s evaluation of a number of factors. If we are unable to reach agreements with suitable collaborators on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all, we may have to curtail the development of a product candidate, reduce or delay its development program or one or more of our other potential development programs, delay its potential development schedule or reduce the scope of research activities, or increase our expenditures and all development activities at our own expense. If we fail to enter into collaborations and do not have sufficient funds or expertise to undertake the necessary development activities, we may not be able to further develop our product candidates or continue to develop our product candidates, and our business may be materially and adversely affected.

If any future collaboration does not result in the successful development of products or product candidates, product candidates could be delayed, and we may need additional resources to develop product candidates. All of the risks relating to product development, regulatory approval and commercialization described in this periodic report also apply to the activities of our collaborators.

We may contract with third parties for the manufacture of our product candidates for preclinical and clinical studies and may expect to continue to do so for commercialization. This potential reliance on third parties increases the risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of our product candidates or products at an acceptable cost and quality, which could delay, prevent or impair our development or commercialization efforts.

Due to our limited operations and no existing manufacturing infrastructure or capabilities, we may utilize third parties to formulate, manufacture, package, and distribute preclinical and clinical supplies of our product candidates. In addition, these materials are custom-made and available from only a limited number of sources. Despite drug substance and product risk management, this reliance on third parties presents a risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of our product candidates or products or such quantities at an acceptable cost or quality, which could delay, prevent or impair our development or commercialization efforts. Any performance failure on the part of our future manufacturers of drug substance or drug products could delay clinical development or potential marketing approval.

We also expect to rely on other third parties to label, store, and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of our distributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidates or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses and depriving us of potential product revenue.

We may be unable to establish any agreements with third-party manufacturers or to do so on acceptable terms. Even if we can establish agreements with third-party manufacturers, reliance on third-party manufacturers entails additional risks, including:

reliance on the third party for regulatory compliance and quality assurance;

the possible breach of the manufacturing agreement by the third party;

the possible misappropriation of our proprietary information, including our trade secrets and know-how; and

the possible termination or nonrenewal of the agreement by the third party at a time that is costly or inconvenient for us.

The third parties we may rely on for manufacturing and packaging are also subject to regulatory review, and any regulatory compliance problems with these third parties could significantly delay or disrupt our clinical or commercialization activities. Third-party manufacturers may not be able to comply with cGMP regulations or similar regulatory requirements outside the United States. Our failure, or the failure of our third-party manufacturers, to comply with applicable regulations could result in sanctions being imposed on us, including clinical holds, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, license revocation, seizures or recalls of product candidates or products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions, any of which could significantly and adversely affect supplies of our products. Additionally, macro-economic conditions may adversely affect these third parties, causing them to suffer liquidity or operational problems. If a key third-party vendor becomes insolvent or is forced to lay off workers assisting with our projects, our results and development timing could suffer.

In addition, our product candidate, and any products that we may develop may compete with other product candidates and products for access to manufacturing facilities. There are a limited number of manufacturers that operate under cGMP regulations and that might be capable of manufacturing for us. Our anticipated future dependence upon others for the manufacture of our product candidates or products may adversely affect our future profit margins and our ability to commercialize any products that receive marketing approval on a timely and competitive basis.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

If we or Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”) are unable to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for technology and products under the License Option Agreement or if the scope of the intellectual property protection obtained by CWRU is not sufficiently broad, our competitors could develop and commercialize technology and products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our technology and products may be impaired.

Our success depends in large part on our ability and CWRU’s ability to obtain and maintain patent protection in the United States, the European Union, and other countries with respect to our proprietary technology and products. We or CWRU will seek to protect our proprietary position by filing patent applications in the United States and internationally that are related to our novel technologies and product candidates. We currently heavily rely on CWRU to assist with protecting the underlying patents and patent applications under the License Option Agreement.

The patent prosecution process is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. We or CWRU may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations and may choose not to pursue patent protection in certain jurisdictions, and under the laws of certain jurisdictions, patents or other intellectual property rights may be unavailable or limited in scope. It is also possible that we or CWRU will fail to identify patentable aspects of our discovery and preclinical development output before it is too late to obtain patent protection. Moreover, in some circumstances, we may not have the right to control the preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications, or to maintain the patents, covering technology that we license from third parties. Therefore, these patents and applications may not be prosecuted and enforced in a manner consistent with the best interests of our business.

The patent position of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies generally is highly uncertain, involves complex legal and factual questions and has in recent years been the subject of much litigation. In addition, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Publications of discoveries in the scientific literature often lag behind the actual discoveries, and patent applications in the United States and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, or in limited cases not at all. Therefore, we cannot know with certainty whether we were the first to make the inventions claimed in our owned or licensed patents or pending patent applications, or that we were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions. Also, examination is often lengthy and can involve numerous challenges to the claims sought. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial value of our patent rights are highly uncertain. Pending and future patent applications may not result in patents being issued which protect our technology or products, in whole or in part, or which effectively prevent others from commercializing competitive technologies and products. Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the United States, the European Union, and other countries may diminish the value of the underlying patents under our License Option Agreement or narrow the scope of our patent protection.

Any inability by us or CWRU to protect adequately the underlying intellectual property covered by the License Option Agreement may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial position.

If we fail to comply with our obligations in the License Option Agreement with CWRU or other agreements under which we may license intellectual property and other rights from third parties or otherwise experience disruptions to our business relationships with our future licensors, we could lose the option to license those rights or other rights that are important to our business.

On July 1, 2020, we signed a Material Transfer, Evaluation, and Exclusive Option Agreement (“License Option Agreement”) with CWRU, granting us the exclusive right to license technology and patent portfolios concerning certain immunostimulatory nanotechnology-based therapeutics and formulations to treat cancer and diseases in humans and for veterinary use. Under the License Option Agreement, CWRU granted us the exclusive option for a period of two (2) years to negotiate and enter into a license agreement with CWRU, provided that we meet certain diligence milestones, including but not limited to, (i) delivering a development plan within 18 months, (ii) raising $3 million in either equity, debt, or grant funding, or a combination thereof within 18 months, (iii), generating sufficient preclinical data to support the identification of the initial field of use to support the initial planned clinical indication for the technology, (iv) determining manufacturing processes and cGMP requirements to manufacture the initial product for use in toxicology studies, and (v) identifying required toxicology studies required to support Phase I clinical trials in the initial field of use. In addition, if we enter into a license agreement with CWRU, we would be responsible for the reimbursement of all past patent costs incurred by CWRU though the date of the License Option Agreement, which amount has been estimated to be approximately $267,000.

If we fail to comply with our obligations under the License Option Agreement, or any other future agreement, we may lose the exclusivity of our License Option Agreement, and CWRU may have the right to terminate the License Option Agreement or restrict our rights, in which event we would not be able to develop or market products covered by the License Option Agreement. Additionally, any milestones and other payments associated with these future licenses will make it less profitable for us to develop our drug candidates than if we had developed the licensed technology internally.

Also, patent prosecution under the License Option Agreement is controlled by CWRU. If CWRU fails to obtain and maintain patent or other protection for the proprietary intellectual property we plan to license from them, we could lose our rights to the intellectual property or our exclusivity with respect to those rights, and our competitors could market competing products using the intellectual property. If disputes over intellectual property and other rights that we have licensed or plan to license prevent or impair our ability to maintain our current licensing arrangements on acceptable terms, we may be unable to successfully develop and commercialize the affected product candidates.

We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents or other intellectual property, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful.

Because competition in our industry is intense, competitors may infringe or otherwise violate our rights to patents of our licensors or other intellectual property. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, we or CWRU may be required to file infringement claims, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Any claims we assert against perceived infringers could provoke these parties to assert counterclaims against us alleging that we infringe their patents. In addition, in a patent infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent of ours or CWRU is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, construe the patent’s claims narrowly, or refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our patents do not cover the technology in question. An adverse result in any litigation proceeding could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly. We may also elect to enter into license agreements in order to settle patent infringement claims or to resolve disputes prior to litigation, and any such license agreements may require us to pay royalties and other fees that could be significant. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure.

We may need to license certain intellectual property from third parties, and such licenses may not be available or may not be available on commercially reasonable terms.

A third party may hold intellectual property, including patent rights, that are important or necessary to the development of our products. It may be necessary for us to use the patented or proprietary technology of third parties to commercialize our products, in which case, we would be required to obtain a license from these third parties on commercially reasonable terms, or our business could be harmed, possibly materially. If we were not able to obtain a license, or we are not able to obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, our business could be harmed, possibly materially.

Third parties may initiate legal proceedings alleging that we are infringing their intellectual property rights, the outcome of which would be uncertain and could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business.

Our commercial success depends upon our ability, and the ability of our licensors and collaborators, to develop, manufacture, market and sell our product candidates and use our proprietary technologies without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. There is considerable intellectual property litigation in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. We may become party to, or threatened with, future adversarial proceedings or litigation regarding intellectual property rights with respect to our products and technology, including proceedings challenging validity before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) and/or European Patent Office (“EPO”). Third parties may assert infringement claims against us or CWRU based on existing patents or patents that may be granted in the future.

If we are found to infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, we could be required to obtain a license from such third party to continue developing and marketing our products and technology. However, we may not be able to obtain any required license on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Even if we were able to obtain a license, it could be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors access to the same technologies licensed to us. We could be forced, including by court order, to cease commercializing any infringing technology or product. In addition, we could be found liable for monetary damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees if we are found to have willfully infringed a patent. A finding of infringement could prevent us from commercializing our product candidates or force us to cease some of our business operations, which could materially harm our business. Claims that we have misappropriated the confidential information or trade secrets of third parties could have a similar negative impact on our business.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed.

In addition to seeking patents for some of our technology and product candidates, we also plan to rely on trade secrets, including unpatented know-how, technology and other proprietary information, to maintain our competitive position. Any NDAs or similar agreements entered into by the Company may not be with all relevant parties, or adequately protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets. Moreover, to the extent we enter into such agreements, any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose our proprietary information, including our trade secrets, and we may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, some courts inside and outside the United States are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets. If any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we would have no right to prevent them, or those to whom they communicate them, from using that technology or information to compete with us. If any of our trade secrets were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position would be harmed.

Risks Related to Our Employee Matters, Managing Growth and Macroeconomic Conditions

Our future success depends on our ability to attract, hire, retain and motivate executives, key employees, and our general workforce.

We are highly dependent on the product development, clinical and business development expertise of the principal members of our management, scientific and clinical teams. Although we have entered into offer letters with our executives and employees, each of them may terminate their employment with us at any time. We do not maintain “key person” insurance for any of our executives or other employees.

In addition, our business plan relies significantly on the continued services of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven King. If we were to lose his services, including through death or disability, our ability to continue to execute our business plan would be materially impaired. The Company has not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. King, or any other officer of the Company.

Recruiting and retaining qualified scientific, clinical, regulatory, and manufacturing personnel is critical to our success. Due to the small size of the Company and the limited number of employees, each of our executives and key employees serves in a critical role. The loss of the services of our executive officers or other key employees could impede the achievement of our development objectives and seriously harm our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. Furthermore, replacing executive officers and key employees may be difficult and may take an extended period of time because of the limited number of individuals in our industry with the breadth of skills and experience required to successfully develop, gain regulatory approval of, and commercialize products. Competition to hire from this limited pool is intense, and we may be unable to hire, train, retain or motivate these key personnel on acceptable terms given the competition among numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for similar personnel. We also may experience competition for the hiring of scientific and clinical personnel from universities and research institutions. In addition, we rely on consultants and advisors, including scientific and clinical advisors, to assist us in product manufacturing, preclinical development, clinical development, regulatory strategy, and commercial strategy. Our consultants and advisors may be employed by employers other than us and may have commitments under consulting or advisory contracts with other entities that may limit their availability to provide services to us. If we are unable to continue to attract and retain high quality personnel, our ability to pursue our development strategy will be limited.

We expect to expand our research and development function, as well as our corporate operations, and as a result, we may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, which could disrupt our operations.

We expect to experience significant growth in the number of our employees and the scope of our operations, particularly in the areas of product manufacturing, preclinical research, clinical development, and regulatory affairs, as capital resources become available. To manage our anticipated future growth, we must also implement and improve our managerial, operational and financial systems, identify new facilities and continue to recruit and train additional qualified personnel. Due to our limited financial resources, we may not be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations or recruit and train additional qualified personnel. The expansion of our operations may lead to significant costs and may divert our management and business development resources. Any inability to manage growth could delay the execution of our business plans or disrupt our operations.

We will incur costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies.

We will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that Private Mosaic did not incur as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements. We will also incur costs associated with corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and The OTC Markets. These rules and regulations are expected to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. These rules and regulations may also make it difficult and expensive for the Company to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. As a result, it may be more difficult for the Company to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers of the Company, which may adversely affect investor confidence in the Company and could cause our business or stock price to suffer.

We may face risks related to securities litigation that could result in significant legal expenses and settlement or damage awards.

We may in the future become subject to claims and litigation alleging violations of the securities laws or other related claims, which could harm our business and require us to incur significant costs. We are generally obliged, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify our current and former directors and officers who are named as defendants in these types of lawsuits. Regardless of the outcome, litigation may require significant attention from management and could result in significant legal expenses, settlement costs or damage awards that could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets, which could adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.

Our common stock is quoted on OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets. The quotation of our shares on such marketplace may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.

There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future or that stockholders will be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result, our stockholders may not find purchasers for our securities should they to desire to sell them.

If we fail to meet the eligibility requirements of OTCQB, we could be removed from the OTCQB which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities in the secondary market.

The companies whose securities are quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market must maintain certain eligibility criteria, including having a minimum bid price for of $0.01, having at least 50 beneficial shareholders owning at least 100 shares of common stock, a public float of at least 10% of total issued and outstanding shares of common stock, as defined by OTC Markets, current in the payment of annual fees and certifications, among other requirements as defined by the OTC Markets, to continue to be quoted on the OTCQB. There is no guarantee that we will continue to meet OTCQB criteria to continue to have our common stock be quoted thereon. As a result, failure to be quoted on the OTCQB would cause the Company’s common stock to be quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market, which may severely adversely affect the market liquidity for our shares by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell such shares, and the ability of stockholders to sell their shares in the secondary market. In addition, if we are no longer quoted on the OTCQB, there can be no assurance that will meet the eligibility criteria and requalify for quotation on the OTCQB.

Although our stock is quoted on the OTCQB, we could subsequently be removed from the OTCQB if we fail to remain current with our financial reporting requirements.

Companies trading on the OTCQB must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and must be current in their reports under Section 13 in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCQB. If we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we would be removed from the OTCQB. As a result, the market liquidity of our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

The market for our common stock is subject to rules relating to low-priced stock (“Penny Stock”) which may limit our ability to raise capital.

Our common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock rules” adopted pursuant to Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. In general, the penny stock rules apply to non-NASDAQ or non-national stock exchange companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or which have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade “penny stock” on behalf of persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document, quote information, broker’s commission information and rights and remedies available to investors in penny stocks. Many brokers have decided not to trade “penny stock” because of the requirements of the penny stock rules, and as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. The “penny stock rules,” therefore, may have an adverse impact on the market for our common stock and may affect our ability to raise additional capital.

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted rules requiring that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative or low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA has indicated its belief that there is a high probability that speculative or low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. If these FINRA requirements are applicable to us or our securities, they may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that at least some of their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the ability of our stockholders to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market for and price of our common stock.

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause the Company’s stock price to decline.

If existing stockholders of the Company sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of the Company’s common stock in the public market after the Reverse Merger, the trading price of the common stock of the combined company could decline. Pursuant to the Reverse Merger, shareholders of Private Mosaic own approximately 90% of the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding, on an as-converted basis. In addition, our shareholders are not restricted in the price at which they can sell their shares. Shares sold at a price below the current market price at which our common stock is trading may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

We expect our stock price to be volatile, and the market price of our common stock may drop unexpectedly.

The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations. Market prices for securities of early-stage pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and other life sciences companies have historically been particularly volatile. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include:

results from preclinical testing and clinical trial results, and our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates, and delays or failures to obtain such approvals;

issues in manufacturing our product candidates;

the entry into, or termination of, key agreements, including our License Option Agreement with CWRU and any future license agreement;

the initiation of, material developments in, or conclusion of litigation to enforce or defend any of the underlying intellectual property rights under the License Option Agreement or defend against the intellectual property rights of others;

announcements by competitors of new commercial products, clinical progress or the lack thereof, significant contracts, or commercial relationships;

the introduction of technological innovations or new therapies that compete with our potential products;

the loss of key employees;

general and industry-specific economic conditions that may affect our research and development expenditures;

	·	changes in the structure of healthcare payment systems; and
	·	issuance of new shares of common stock from raising additional capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all; and

period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

Moreover, the stock markets in general have experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm our financial position.

Our share price could decline as a result of short sales.

When an investor sells stock that he does not own, it is known as a short sale. The seller, anticipating that the price of the stock will go down, intends to buy stock to cover his/her sale at a later date. If the price of the stock goes down, the seller will profit to the extent of the difference between the price at which he originally sold it less his later purchase price. Short sales enable the seller to profit in a down market. Short sales could place significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock. Penny stocks which do not trade on an exchange, such as our common stock, are particularly susceptible to short sales.

We may issue preferred stock, and the terms of such preferred stock may reduce the value of our common stock.

We are authorized to issue up to a total of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Our Board of Directors may determine whether to issue shares of preferred stock without further action by holders of our common stock. If we issue shares of preferred stock, it could affect the rights or reduce the value of our common stock. In particular, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with or sell our assets to a third party. These terms may include voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights, and sinking fund provisions. As we seek capital for our business, such capital may be raised through the issuance of preferred stock.

Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, if they choose to act together, will have the ability to control all matters submitted to stockholders for approval.

Shareholders of Private Mosaic beneficially own shares representing approximately 90% of our capital stock, on an as-converted basis. As a result, if these stockholders were to choose to act together, they would be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these persons, if they choose to act together, would control the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of ownership control may:

delay, defer or prevent a change in control;

entrench our management and the board of directors; or

impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company that other stockholders may desire.

We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We expect to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be the sole source of gain, if any, for any stockholders for the foreseeable future.

Overview

Recent Developments

On August 21, 2020, we closed a Reverse Merger transaction (as discussed below) by and between Patriot Scientific Corporation (now known as Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.) and privately held Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc, (“Private Mosaic”). On November 30, 2020, we filed amended and restated articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (“Amended and Restated Certificate”) to change the name of the Company to Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. (“Name Change”), to implement a 1-for-500 reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”), and to reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock from 600 million to 100 million. The Reverse Stock Split was effective on December 2, 2020. All share numbers and preferred stock conversion numbers included herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-500 Reverse Stock Split. On December 30, 2020, we changed our fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. The following discussion represents additional information pertaining to these key corporate events:

Reverse Merger

The Reverse Merger was treated by the Company as a reverse merger in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). For accounting purposes, Private Mosaic is considered to have acquired PTSC as the accounting acquirer because: (i) Private Mosaic stockholders owned 90% of the combined company, on an as-converted basis, immediately following the Closing Date, (ii) Private Mosaic directors held a majority of board seats in the combined company and (iii) Private Mosaic management held all key positions in the management of the combined company. Accordingly, Private Mosaic’s historical results of operations will replace PTSC’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the Closing Date of the Reverse Merger and, for all periods following the Closing Date of the Reverse Merger, the results of operations of the combined company will be included in the Company’s financial statements.

Based on the inception of Private Mosaic on March 30, 2020, the financial information and the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented in this Transition Report bear no relationship to the future business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Change in Fiscal Year

On December 30, 2020, the Board approved a change to our fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. The change in fiscal year is effective for the Company’s 2020 fiscal year, which began June 1, 2020 and ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, the Company is filing this Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the seven-month period from June 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

License Option Agreement

On July 1, 2020, we signed a Material Transfer, Evaluation, and Exclusive Option Agreement (“License Option Agreement”) with Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”), granting the Company the exclusive right to license technology for a novel platform technology using immunostimulatory nanotechnology-based therapeutics and vaccines to treat and prevent cancer and infectious diseases in humans and for veterinary use. Under the License Option Agreement, CWRU granted the Company the exclusive option for a period of two (2) years to negotiate and enter into a license agreement with CWRU, provided that we meet certain diligence milestones, including but not limited to, (i) delivering a development plan within 18 months, (ii) raising $3 million in either equity, debt, or grant funding, or a combination thereof within 18 months, (iii), generating sufficient preclinical data to support the identification of the initial field of use to support the initial planned clinical indication for the technology, (iv) determining manufacturing processes and cGMP requirements to manufacture the initial product for use in toxicology studies, and (v) identifying required toxicology studies required to support Phase I clinical trials in the initial field of use.

Under the License Option Agreement, the Company issued CWRU 70,000 shares of Series B Preferred under the Reverse Merger, which included certain anti-dilution rights. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Series B Preferred holder will continue to maintain ownership equal to 10% of the fully diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding of the Company, including for such purposes all other convertible securities outstanding and reserved for issuance except stock options issued and outstanding and reserved for issuance under a board approved employee stock option plans reserving for issuance no more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company then outstanding, until we initially raise at least $1 million from the sale of either preferred or Common Stock, or a combination thereof (“Capital Threshold”). In addition, pursuant to the License Option Agreement, net working capital acquired under the Reverse Merger of approximately $374,000 was applied against the Capital Threshold. As of December 31, 2020, the remaining Capital Threshold was approximately $626,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require us to make estimates and judgments that significantly affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Reverse Merger Accounting

On August 21, 2020, the Reverse Merger transaction was closed pursuant to which Private Mosaic merged into PTSC. Due to the nominal assets and limited operations of PTSC prior to the Reverse Merger, the transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition under the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, whereby Private Mosaic became the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and PTSC was treated as the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). As the transaction was treated as a reverse asset acquisition, no intangibles, including goodwill, were recognized. The net tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed totaled $374,435, which were acquired by Private Mosaic in connection with the transaction and are recorded at their acquisition date fair values as of the Closing Date, as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	427,971
Restricted cash and cash equivalents		177,244
Refundable income taxes		26,078
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		10,402
Investment in affiliated company		32,739
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other		(299,999	)
Net assets acquired	$	374,435

Investment in Affiliated Companies

We have a 50% interest in Phoenix Digital Solutions LLC (“PDS”). We account for our investment using the equity method of accounting since the investment provides us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if we have an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee of between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s Board of Directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the investee and is recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the caption “Equity in earnings (loss) of affiliated company” and also is adjusted by contributions to and distributions from PDS. We review our investment in PDS to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary, we would recognize an impairment loss.

We currently own 2,100,000 shares of preferred stock, representing approximately a 46% ownership interest, on an as-converted basis, in Holocom, Inc. (“Holocom”), a California corporation that manufactures products that protect information transmitted over secure networks. The shares are convertible at our option into shares of Holocom’s common stock on a one-to-one basis. The preferred stock entitles us to receive non-cumulative dividends at the per annum rate of $0.04 per share, when and if declared by the Board of Directors of Holocom, as well as a liquidation preference of $0.40 per share, plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends. As of the Closing Date and as of December 31, 2020, our investment in Holocom was valued at $0 based on various indicators of impairment, including Holocom’s inability to meet its business plan and raise sufficient capital, in addition to the general economic environment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Anti-Dilution Issuance Rights Liability

Pursuant to the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation, the Series B Preferred includes certain anti-dilution issuance rights, whereby the holder will continue to maintain equity ownership equal to 10% of the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding, calculated on an as converted basis, including all other convertible securities outstanding and reserved for issuance (and excluding stock options issued and outstanding and reserved for issuance under a Board approved employee stock option plan reserving for issuance no more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company) until we raise approximately $626,000 from the sale of common or preferred stock, or a combination thereof.

To determine the estimated fair value of the anti-dilution issuance rights liability, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation methodology, which models the future movement of stock prices based on several key variables. At the date of issuance on August 21, 2020 (at inception) and as of December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the anti-dilution issuance rights was $83,500. We initially recorded the fair value as a derivative liability with a corresponding charge to research and development expense and we will mark-to-market at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations at each period-end while this derivative instrument is outstanding.

The primary inputs used in valuing the anti-dilution issuance rights liability at inception and upon remeasurement at December 31, 2020, were as follows:

	At December 31, 2020		At inception
Fair value of common stock (per share)		$3.25		$3.30
Estimated additional shares of common stock		31,353		57,462
Expected volatility		90%		135%
Expected term (years)		0.25		0.45
Risk-free interest rate		0.09%		0.11%

The fair value of the common stock was determined by management with the assistance of an independent third-party specialist. The computation of expected volatility was estimated using available information about the historical volatility of stocks of similar publicly traded companies for a period matching the expected term assumption. In addition, the Company incorporated the estimated number of shares, timing, and probability of future equity financings in the calculation of the anti-dilution issuance rights liability.

Income Taxes

We follow authoritative guidance in accounting for uncertainties in income taxes. This authoritative guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement requirement for the financial statement recognition of a tax position that has been taken or is expected to be taken on a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Under this guidance, we may only recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold.

We follow authoritative guidance to evaluate whether a valuation allowance should be established against our deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. We assess our deferred tax assets annually under more likely than not scenarios in which they may be realized through future income.

In addition, utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred as a result of the Reverse Merger, or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). These ownership changes may limit the amount of the net operating loss carry forwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a Company by certain stockholders. Moreover, since we will need to raise substantial additional funding to finance our operations, we may undergo further ownership changes in the future, which could further limit our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards. As a result, if we generate taxable income, our ability to use some of our net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to limitations, which could result in increased future tax liability to us.

With the exception of refundable income taxes, we have determined that it was more likely than not that all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future due to our continuing pre-tax and taxable losses in addition to the potential loss of deferred tax assets as a result of the change in control (see Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements). As a result of this determination, and with the exception for the aforementioned refundable income taxes, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.

Assessment of Contingent Liabilities

We may be involved in various legal matters, disputes, and patent infringement claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We accrue for any estimated losses at the time when we can make a reliable estimate of such loss and it is probable that it has been incurred. By their very nature, contingencies are difficult to estimate. We continually evaluate information related to all contingencies to determine that the basis on which we have recorded our estimated exposure is appropriate.

Results of Operations

Private Mosaic, the accounting acquirer in the Reverse Merger, was incorporated on March 30, 2020 (date of inception). Therefore, Private Mosaic’s historical results of operations replaced PTSC’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the Closing Date of the Reverse Merger and, for all periods following the Closing Date of the Reverse Merger, the results of operations of the combined company are included in the Company’s financial statements. Based on the corporate inception of Private Mosaic, the prior year financial information covers the period March 30, 2020 (date of inception) to May 31, 2020 while the transition period covers the seven-month period from June 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

Seven Months Ended December 31, 2020:

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses of approximately $343,000 for the seven months ended December 31, 2020 are related to (i) salaries and related costs for personnel in research and development functions and related consulting fees associated with advancing the platform technologies of approximately $259,000 and (ii) the recognition of the fair market value of the Class B common stock issued under the License Option Agreement and the fair market value of the anti-dilution issuance rights issued to the holder of the Series B Preferred in the amount of approximately $84,000. The estimated fair value of the anti-dilution issuance rights liability was based on a Monte Carlo simulation methodology, which models the future movement of stock prices based on several key variables. Pursuant to the License Option Agreement, we receive rights to materials and research information to evaluate the technology for a period of two years with an option to license the technology, provided we achieve certain research and development milestones and financial milestones, as defined in the agreement (see Note 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements). We believe our research and development expenses will increase significantly over time as we raise sufficient capital to advance our programs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses of approximately $493,000 for the seven months ended December 31, 2020 consist principally of salaries and related costs for personnel and consultants in executive and administrative functions of approximately $347,000, fees for outside legal counsel of approximately $52,000, fees related to intellectual property rights of approximately $17,000, audit and accounting related fees of approximately $42,000, director and officer insurance of approximately $21,000, and other fees and expenses of approximately $14,000. We believe our general and administrative expenses should increase over time as we advance our programs, increase our headcount and operating activities, and as we continue to incur expenses associated with being a public company.

Equity in Loss of Affiliated Company

Equity in loss of affiliated company of approximately $5,000 for the seven months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, primarily represents expenses associated with winding up and dissolving Phoenix Digital Solutions LLC. The Company has determined that the underlying patents were no longer enforceable and therefore, deemed it to be in the best interest of shareholders to dissolve Phoenix Digital Solutions LLC and distribute the remaining assets. On September 29, 2020, the managing members of PDS agreed to wind up and dissolve PDS (see Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

March 30, 2020 (date of inception) to May 31, 2020:

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses of $511 for the period March 30, 2020 to May 31, 2020 were generally related to corporate formation costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 21, 2020, we completed our Reverse Merger with PTSC, which provided $605,215 in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash acquired. Since our inception of Private Mosaic on March 30, 2020, we have not raised any other capital. As of December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $352,738. Our ability to continue our operations is highly dependent on our ability to raise capital to fund future operations as we have not generated any revenue from our products in development. We anticipate, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions that our cash on hand will not satisfy our operational and capital requirements through twelve months from the filing date of this Transition Report on Form 10-KT.

Our primary uses of capital to date are primarily related to corporate activities associated with payroll, consulting, and related costs, corporate formation expenses, fees associated with the License Option Agreement and the Reverse Merger. On a go forward basis, we will need additional capital to support our research and development efforts and administrative costs, including but not limited to, compensation and related expenses, hiring additional staff (including clinical, scientific, operational, financial, and management personnel), product development and manufacturing costs, preclinical and clinical trial expenses, and costs associated with operating as a public company. We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the development and potential commercialization of our product candidates.

We plan to continue to fund losses from operations and capital funding needs through available cash on hand and future planned equity and/or debt financings, as well as potential collaborations or strategic partnerships with other companies.

There are a number of uncertainties associated with our ability to raise additional capital and we have no current arrangements with respect to any additional financing. In addition, the continuation of disruptions caused by COVID-19 may cause investors to slow down or delay their decision to deploy capital based on volatile market conditions which will adversely impact our ability to fund future operations. Consequently, there can be no assurance that any additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, will be available when needed. The inability to obtain additional capital will delay our ability to conduct our business operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing stockholders. The above matters raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

Cash Flow Summary

The following table provides a summary of our net cash flow activity for the seven months ended December 31, 2020 and the period March 30, 2020 (date of inception) to May 31, 2020:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU No. 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The issue addressed in ASU 2016-15 that will affect the Company is classifying distributions received from equity method investments. The guidance provides an accounting policy election for classifying distributions received from equity method investments using either a cumulative earnings approach or a nature of distributions approach. The Company adopted this standard on March 30, 2020 (date of inception). The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard on March 30, 2020 (date of inception). Implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments- Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income and simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. The accounting standard update also updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on March 30, 2020 (date of inception). Implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, as amended, which modifies lease accounting for lessees to increase transparency and comparability by recording lease assets and liabilities for operating leases and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective March 30, 2020 (date of inception). As permitted under the transition guidance, the Company will carry forward the assessment of whether its contracts contain or are leases, classification of its leases and remaining lease terms. Implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”), which removes, modifies, and adds various disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosures controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework – 2013 update issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management has determined that, as of December 31, 2020, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the transition period ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Internal Control

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Corporate Governance

Meetings and Committees of the Board

We have three (3) standing committees of the Board, consisting of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Our committees operate under written charters adopted by the Board in November 2020, a copy of which is available on our website at www.mosaicie.com under the Corporate Governance section of our Investors page or by written request to the Company at Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc., 19881 Brookhurst Street, C-245, Huntington Beach, California 92646, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Audit Committee

The members of our audit committee are Ms. Gloria Felcyn and Dr. Robert Garnick. Ms. Felcyn is the chair of our audit committee and was deemed our audit committee “financial expert”, as that term is defined under the SEC rules, and possesses financial sophistication, as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Our audit committee oversees our corporate accounting and financial reporting process and assists our board of directors in monitoring our financial systems. Our audit committee will also:

elect and hire the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements;

help to ensure the independence and performance of the independent registered public accounting firm;

approve audit and non-audit services and fees;

review financial statements and discuss with management and the independent registered public accounting firm our annual audited and quarterly financial statements, the results of the independent audit and the quarterly reviews and the reports and certifications regarding internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls, as applicable;

prepare the audit committee report that the SEC requires to be included in our annual report or proxy statement;

review reports and communications from the independent registered public accounting firm;

review the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures;

review our policies on risk assessment and risk management;

review related party transactions; and

establish and oversee procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of accounting related complaints and the confidential submission by our employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

Compensation Committee

The members of our compensation committee are Ms. Gloria Felcyn and Dr. Robert Garnick. Mr. Garnick is the chair of our compensation committee. Our compensation committee oversees our compensation policies, plans, and benefits programs. The compensation committee will also:

oversee our overall compensation philosophy and compensation policies, plans, and benefit programs;

review and approve compensation for our executive officers and directors; and

administer our equity compensation plans.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

The members of our corporate governance and nominating committee are Ms. Gloria Felcyn and Dr. Robert Garnick. No chair has been appointed to our corporate governance and nominating committee. Our corporate governance and nominating committee oversees and assists our board of directors in reviewing and recommending nominees for election as directors. Specifically, the corporate governance and nominating committee will:

identify, evaluate, and make recommendations to our board of directors regarding nominees for election to our board of directors and its committees;

consider and make recommendations to our board of directors regarding the composition of our board of directors and its committees;

review developments in corporate governance practices;

evaluate the adequacy of our corporate governance practices and reporting; and

evaluate the performance of our board of directors and of individual directors.

Meetings of the Board

Based on the recent inception of Private Mosaic and the number of start-up activities, our Board held frequent telephonic meetings with the executive officers and management in lieu of formal Board meetings during the transition period ended December 31, 2020 and corporate actions were acted upon by unanimous written consent. During the transition period ended December 31, 2020, the full board acted ten (10) times by unanimous written consent in connection with general corporate matters and the compensation committee acted three (3) times by unanimous written consent in connection with executive compensation and policies. The corporate governance and nominating committee did not hold any meetings and did not act by unanimous written consent during the transition period ended December 31, 2020. The Audit Committee pre-approved all audit and audited related services and fees, reviewed all Company filings with the SEC, and was provided all required communications from our independent registered public accounting firm, although they did not hold any meetings during the transition period ended December 31, 2020.

Director Independence

Our securities are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and, therefore, are not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange, including those related to the independence of directors. However, at this time, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Board has determined that Ms. Gloria Felcyn and Dr. Robert Garnick are independent from our management and qualify as an “Independent Director” under the standards of independence under the applicable listing standards of the OTC Markets and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Certain Relationships

There are no family relationships between or among the Board or executive officers.

Annual Meeting Attendance

Our policy is to invite and encourage each member of our Board to be present at our annual meetings of stockholders. We completed our Reverse Merger in August 2020 and did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders during the transition period ended December 31, 2020 or during the prior period ended May 31, 2020.

Director Compensation

The following table presents the total compensation each of our non-employee directors received during the transition period ended December 31, 2020. Other than as set forth in the table, we did not pay any compensation, make any equity awards or non-equity awards to or pay any other compensation to any of our non-employee directors during the transition period from June 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Directors were not compensated for their services during the prior period March 30, 2020 (date of inception) to May 31, 2020.

Represents the grant date fair value of 26,087 restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) granted to each non-employee director on December 16, 2020. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting. The RSU’s were granted from the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan and will vest one year from the date of grant.

In addition, we reimburse all directors for travel and other necessary business expenses incurred in the performance of their services for us.

Board Leadership Structure

In accordance with our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”), our Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chairman of the Board. The Board determined that in the best interest of the Company, the most effective leadership structure at this time is not to separate the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the Bylaws. A combined structure will provide the Company with a single leader who represents the Company to our stockholders, regulators, business partners and other stakeholders. In addition, this structure will create efficiency in the preparation of the meeting agendas and related Board materials as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer works directly with those individuals preparing the necessary Board materials and is more connected to the overall daily operations of the Company. Agendas will also be prepared with the permitted input of the full Board allowing for any concerns or risks of any individual director to be discussed as deemed appropriate. The Board believes that the Company will benefit from this structure, and Mr. King’s continuation in the combined role of the Chairman and President and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interest of the stockholders.

In addition, the Board does not currently have a lead independent director. The Board has determined that this structure is the most effective leadership structure for our Company at this time based on its size. In addition, our Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees, which oversee critical matters such as our accounting principles, financial reporting practices and system of disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting, our executive compensation program and the selection and evaluation of our directors and director nominees, each consist entirely of independent directors.

Board Risk Oversight

The Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through committees of the Board. For example, the Audit Committee assists the Board in its risk oversight function by reviewing and discussing with management our accounting principles, financial reporting practices and system of disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will assist the Board in its risk oversight function by periodically reviewing and discussing with management important corporate governance principles and practices and by considering risks related to our director nominee evaluation process. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in its risk oversight function by considering risks relating to the design of our executive compensation programs and arrangements. The full Board considers strategic risks and opportunities from the committees regarding risk oversight in their areas of responsibility, as necessary. We believe the Board leadership structure facilitates the division of risk management oversight responsibilities among the Board and its committees and enhances the Board’s efficiency in fulfilling its oversight function with respect to different areas of our business risks and our risk mitigation practices.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) and employees, known as the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our website at www.mosaicie.com under the Corporate Governance section of our Investors page. We will promptly disclose on our website (i) the nature of any amendment to the policy that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions and (ii) the nature of any waiver, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of the policy that is granted to one of these specified individuals, the name of such person who is granted the waiver and the date of the waiver.

Director Legal Proceedings

During the past ten years, no director or executive officer has been involved in any legal proceedings that are material to an evaluation of their ability or integrity to become our director or executive officer.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own 10% or more of a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with SEC. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all reports filed by them in compliance with Section 16(a).

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from reporting persons, we believe that our insiders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during the transition period ended December 31, 2020.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board may do so by addressing their correspondence to Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc., 19881 Brookhurst Street, C-245, Huntington Beach, California 92646, Attention: Board of Directors. The Corporate Secretary reviews and forwards correspondence to the appropriate director or group of directors for response.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. (formerly Patriot Scientific Corporation) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the seven months ended December 31, 2020 and for the period March 30, 2020 (date of inception) to May 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the seven months ended December 31, 2020 and for the period March 30, 2020 (date of inception) to May 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has been recently formed with minimal cash on hand and has not yet generated any revenues. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits 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 consolidated 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 audits, 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 audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

F-2

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Accounting for Anti-Dilution Issuance Rights

Critical Audit Matter Description

As described further in Notes 3, 6 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the terms of the Company’s Series B Convertible Voting Preferred Stock contain certain anti-dilution issuance rights. The accounting for the anti-dilution feature was complex, as it required management to assess whether the anti-dilution feature required bifurcation and separate valuation. Further, upon determination that bifurcation was required, management performed a valuation of the anti-dilution feature at the date of initial accounting and at December 31, 2020 with the assistance of a specialist, which involved estimation of the fair value of the anti-dilution feature, as well as determined the appropriate classification and prepared the disclosure of the anti-dilution feature in the consolidated financial statements.

Auditing management’s evaluation of the anti-dilution issuance rights was challenging due to the complexity in assessing the anti-dilution feature for separate accounting. In addition, management’s valuation of the anti-dilution feature involved a high degree of subjectivity as estimates underlying the determination of fair value were based on various inputs and significant assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model, including timing and probability of future financings, and the number of shares issued under the anti-dilution feature.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

To test the initial accounting for the anti-dilution issuance rights, our audit procedures included, among others, inspection of the Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation and testing management’s application of the relevant accounting guidance, which included the classification of the anti-dilution feature. We also tested the Monte Carlo simulation model prepared by management’s specialist at the initial accounting and at December 31, 2020 and assessed the reasonableness of the inputs and significant assumptions. We involved our valuation specialist to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s determination of the fair value of the anti-dilution feature, which included testing the appropriateness of the methodology and underlying assumptions used. We also performed sensitivity analyses to evaluate the materiality of reasonable changes in management’s assumptions. Additionally, we read and assessed the completeness and accuracy of management’s disclosure of the anti-dilution feature.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2020.

1. Organization and Business

Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. (the “Company,” “combined company,” “Mosaic,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), formerly known as Patriot Scientific Corporation, is a corporation organized under Delaware law on March 24, 1992. The Company is an early-stage biotechnology company focused on a novel platform technology using immunostimulatory nanotechnology-based therapeutics and vaccines to treat and prevent cancer and infectious diseases.

The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries: Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Development Company (formerly referred to as Private Mosaic in connection with the Reverse Merger), a corporation organized under Delaware law on March 30, 2020 (date of inception) and Patriot Data Solutions Group, Inc., an inactive subsidiary of PTSC. Patriot Data Solutions Group (formerly known as Crossflo Systems, Inc.) was acquired in September 2008 and was previously engaged in data-sharing services and products primarily in the public safety and government sector. During April 2012, PTSC sold substantially all of our assets in Patriot Data Solutions Group.

On August 21, 2020, we closed a Reverse Merger transaction by and between Patriot Scientific Corporation (now known as Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.) and privately held Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. (“Private Mosaic”). On November 30, 2020, we filed our amended and restated articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (“Amended and Restated Certificate”) to change the name of the Company to Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. (“Name Change”), to implement a 1-for-500 reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”), and to reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock from 600 million to 100 million. The Reverse Stock Split was effective on December 2, 2020. All share numbers and preferred stock conversion numbers included herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-500 Reverse Stock Split. On December 30, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a change to our fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. Additional information regarding the aforementioned events is further discussed below.

Recent Events

Name Change

On November 30, 2020, upon filing our Amended and Restated Certificate, we changed our name from Patriot Scientific Corporation to Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. (“Name Change”) to align our corporate name with our new strategic direction.

Change in Fiscal Year

On December 30, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a change to our fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. The change in fiscal year is effective for the Company’s 2020 fiscal year, which began June 1, 2020 and ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, the Company is filing this transition report on Form 10-KT for the seven-month period from June 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

Stock Purchase Agreement

On August 19, 2020, Patriot Scientific Corporation (now known as Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.) and Private Mosaic entered into a stock purchase agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”), whereby one of the wholly owned subsidiaries of Patriot Scientific Corporation merged with and into Private Mosaic, with Private Mosaic surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Patriot Scientific Corporation (the “Reverse Merger”) (see Note 2). The transaction closed on August 21, 2020 (“Closing Date”) in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

On the Closing Date, Patriot Scientific Corporation acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Private Mosaic, representing 630,000 shares of its Class A common stock (“Class A Stock”) and 70,000 shares of its Class B common stock (“Class B Stock”) (collectively referred to as “Target Common Stock”). In exchange for the Target Common Stock, the holders of the Class A Stock received 630,000 shares of Patriot Scientific Corporation’s (now known as Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.) Series A Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and holders of the Class B Stock received 70,000 shares of Patriot Scientific Corporation’s (now known as Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.) Series B Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”). Each share of Series A Preferred converts into 10.194106 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) of the Company and possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the common stock of the Company, as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation. Each share of Series B Preferred converts into 11.46837 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) of the Company, possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the common stock of the Company and contains certain anti-dilution rights, as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation. On a fully diluted, as converted basis, the holders of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, in aggregate, own approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

Private Mosaic was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and other factors including: (i) Private Mosaic stockholders owned 90% of the combined organization immediately following the Closing Date, (ii) Private Mosaic directors held a majority of board seats in the combined organization and (iii) Private Mosaic management held all key positions in the management of the combined company.

Reverse Stock Split

On October 21, 2020 and October 22, 2020, our Board of Directors and majority shareholders, respectively, approved the Reverse Stock Split of one (1) share of our common stock for every 500 shares of our common stock (“1-for-500”). On November 30, 2020, we filed the Amended and Restated Certificate to effect a Reverse Stock Split on December 2, 2020, whereby every 500 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of its common stock, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split resulted in any of the Company’s stockholders owning a fractional share, which was rounded up to the next highest whole share. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, there was no change in the par value per share of $0.00001. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented. The following chart reflects the changes in our capital structure, including the assumed conversion of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, following the Reverse Stock Split, and the issuance of 3,017 new shares of common stock in lieu of fractional shares under the Reverse Stock Split.

Liquidity and Management’s Plans

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $352,738 and has not yet generated any revenues. Therefore, our ability to continue our operations is highly dependent on our ability to raise capital to fund future operations. We anticipate, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions that our cash and cash equivalents on hand will not satisfy our operational and capital requirements through twelve months from the filing date of this transitional report on Form 10-KT.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. (formerly known as Patriot Scientific Corporation) and our subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated entities have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Seven Months Ended December 31, 2020 and Period March 30, 2020 (date of inception) to May 31, 2020 (continued)

In conjunction with the Reverse Merger, Private Mosaic’s historical results of operations replaced PTSC’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the Reverse Merger and, for all periods following the Reverse Merger, the results of operations of the combined company are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Since Private Mosaic was incorporated on March 30, 2020, prior year financial information covers the period March 30, 2020 (date of inception) to May 31, 2020. In addition, operating results for the seven months ended December 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021.

Segment Reporting

The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. No revenue has been generated since inception, and all tangible assets are held in the United States.

Reverse Merger

On August 21, 2020, Private Mosaic completed a Reverse Merger with PTSC pursuant to which Private Mosaic merged into PTSC (see Note 1). Due to the nominal assets and limited operations of PTSC prior to the Reverse Merger, the transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition under the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 whereby Private Mosaic became the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and PTSC was treated as the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). As the transaction was treated as a reverse asset acquisition, no intangibles, including goodwill, were recognized. The net tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed totaled $374,435 which were acquired by Private Mosaic in connection with the transaction and were recorded at their estimated acquisition date fair values as of the Closing Date, as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	427,971
Restricted cash and cash equivalents		177,244
Refundable income taxes		26,078
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		10,402
Investment in affiliated company		32,739
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other		(299,999	)
Net assets acquired	$	374,435

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments acquired with a maturity of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents.

Investment in Affiliated Company

We have a 50% interest in Phoenix Digital Solutions LLC (“PDS”). We account for our investment using the equity method of accounting since the investment provides us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if we have an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee of between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s Board of Directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the investee and is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the caption “Equity in earnings (loss) of affiliated company” and also is adjusted by contributions to and distributions from PDS. We review our investment in PDS to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary, we would recognize an impairment loss. On September 29, 2020, the managing members of PDS agreed to wind up and dissolve PDS as the underlying intellectual property was not deemed enforceable by the managing members (see Note 4).

We own 100% of the preferred stock of Holocom (see Note 4). Prior to impairment, this investment was accounted for at cost since we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Holocom.

Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents.

We invest our cash and cash equivalents primarily in money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with high quality financial institutions, which are regularly monitored by management. At times, deposits held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. We perform ongoing evaluations of these financial institutions to limit our concentration of risk exposure.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued payable to founders, derivative liability, and accrued expenses and other. The carrying value of these financial instruments, except for the derivative liability, approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of the instruments. We record the derivative liability at fair value (see Note 3).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include those related to the fair value of the anti-dilution issuance rights liability (derivative liability), investment in affiliated company, the provision or benefit for income taxes and the corresponding valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. In addition, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments, and methodologies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such accounting estimates and assumptions, the actual financial statement results could differ materially from such accounting estimates and assumptions.

Assessment of Contingent Liabilities

Patent Costs

Patent fees and patent related costs in connection with filing and prosecuting patent applications are expensed as incurred and are classified as general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation

We account for Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and other share-based awards granted under our equity compensation plan in accordance with the authoritative guidance for share-based compensation. The fair value of RSUs is measured at the grant date based on the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the period of vesting. Forfeitures are recognized as a reduction of share-based compensation expense as they occur. At December 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, there were no outstanding share-based awards with market or performance conditions.

In addition, we periodically grant RSUs to non-employee consultants, which we account for in accordance with the authoritative guidance for share-based compensation. The cost of non-employee services received in exchange for share-based awards are measured based on either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the share-based award issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing our net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the potential dilutive effects of unvested RSUs and shares of common stock expected to be issued under our Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred outstanding during the period.

The potential dilutive effect of unvested RSUs outstanding during the period are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, but are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. The potential dilutive effect of our Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred outstanding during the period is calculated using the if-converted method assuming the conversion of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred as of the earliest period reported or at the date of issuance, if later, but are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. Since the impact of potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there was no difference between basic and diluted loss per common share for the seven months ended December 31, 2020 and the period March 30, 2020 (date of inception) to May 31, 2020.

Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Seven Months Ended December 31, 2020 and Period March 30, 2020 (date of inception) to May 31, 2020 (continued)

For the seven months ended December 31, 2020, the issuance of 7,225,076 shares of common stock upon the conversion of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred were excluded in the calculation of diluted loss per share as the impact was anti-dilutive during periods of net loss. In addition, for the seven months ended December 31, 2020, 336,328 RSUs were also excluded in the calculation of diluted loss per share as the impact was anti-dilutive during periods of net loss.

Moreover, in connection with an acquisition of Crossflo by PTSC (see Note 1), 5,690 escrow shares were issued that are contingent upon certain representations and warranties made by Crossflo. We exclude these escrow shares from the basic income (loss) per share calculations and would have included the escrowed shares in the diluted income per share calculations if we reported net income.

Income Taxes

In addition, utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred as a result of the Reverse Merger, or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). These ownership changes may limit the amount of the net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a Company by certain stockholders. Moreover, since we will need to raise substantial additional funding to finance our operations, we may undergo further ownership changes in the future, which could further limit our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards. As a result, if we generate taxable income, our ability to use some of our net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to limitations, which could result in increased future tax liability to us.

With the exception of refundable income taxes, we have determined that it was more likely than not that all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future due to our continuing pre-tax and taxable losses in addition to the potential loss of deferred tax assets as a result of the Reverse Merger (see Note 1). As a result of this determination, and with the exception for the aforementioned refundable income taxes, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The issue addressed in ASU 2016-15 that will affect the Company is classifying distributions received from equity method investments. The guidance provides an accounting policy election for classifying distributions received from equity method investments using either a cumulative earnings approach or a nature of distributions approach. The Company adopted this standard on March 30, 2020 (date of inception). The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and improving consistent application in certain areas of Topic 740. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020, however, early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing and impact of adopting ASU 2019-12 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of money market funds as well as an anti-dilution issuance rights liability pursuant to the License Option Agreement with Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”) (see Note 6). The anti-dilution issuance rights meet the definition of a derivative under FASB’s ASC Topic 815 and the liability is carried at fair value.

Under this authoritative guidance, we are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. We determine fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment or valuations by third-party professionals. The three levels of inputs that we may use to measure fair value are:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy:

			Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2020 Using

Anti-Dilution Issuance Rights Liability

Pursuant to the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation, the Series B Preferred includes certain anti-dilution issuance rights, whereby the holder will continue to maintain equity ownership equal to 10% of the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding, calculated on an as converted basis, including all other convertible securities outstanding and reserved for issuance (and excluding stock options issued and outstanding and reserved for issuance under a Board approved employee stock option plan reserving for issuance no more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company) until the Company raises approximately $626,000 from the sale of common or preferred stock, or a combination thereof (see Note 6).

The primary inputs used in valuing the anti-dilution issuance rights liability at inception and upon remeasurement at December 31, 2020, were as follows:

	At December 31, 2020		At inception
Fair value of common stock (per share)		$3.25		$3.30
Estimated additional shares of common stock		31,353		57,462
Expected volatility		90%		135%
Expected term (years)		0.25		0.45
Risk-free interest rate		0.09%		0.11%

The fair value of the derivative liability was determined by management with the assistance of an independent third-party specialist. The computation of expected volatility was estimated using available information about the historical volatility of stocks of similar publicly traded companies for a period matching the expected term assumption. In addition, the Company incorporated the estimated number of shares, timing, and probability of future equity financings in the calculation of the anti-dilution issuance rights liability.

4. Investment in Affiliated Companies

Phoenix Digital Solutions, LLC (“PDS”)

PDS was previously formed by PTSC to pursue licensing of its intellectual property. We own 50% of the membership interests of PDS, representing $27,637 as of December 31, 2020. Based on our analysis of current authoritative accounting guidance with respect to our investment in PDS, we continue to account for our investment in PDS under the equity method of accounting, and accordingly have recorded our share of PDS’s net loss during the transition period ended December 31, 2020 of $5,102 as a decrease in our investment. We have recorded our share of PDS’s net loss as “Equity in loss of affiliated company” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

On September 29, 2020, the members of PDS agreed to wind up and dissolve PDS as the underlying intellectual property was deemed no longer enforceable. As a result of the approval of the dissolution plan, PDS adopted the Liquidation Basis of Accounting, effective September 29, 2020. Although the dissolution plan was approved by the members on September 29, 2020, PDS used the liquidation basis of accounting effective September 30, 2020 as a convenience date. Under the Liquidation Basis of Accounting, the following financial statements are no longer presented (except for periods prior to the adoption of the Liquidation Basis of Accounting): balance sheet, a statement of operations, a consolidated statement of members’ equity and a statement of cash flows. The statement of net assets and the statement of changes in net assets are the principal financial statements presented under the Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Under the Liquidation Basis of Accounting, all of the Company’s assets have been stated at their estimated net realizable value.

In January 2021, the remaining cash on hand of $55,274 was equally distributed to its two members according to the dissolution plan.

6. License Option Agreement

On July 1, 2020, we signed a Material Transfer, Evaluation, and Exclusive Option Agreement (“License Option Agreement”) with CWRU, granting the Company the exclusive right to license certain technology covering immunostimulatory nanotechnology-based therapeutics and vaccines to treat and prevent cancer and infectious diseases in humans and for veterinary use. Under the License Option Agreement, CWRU granted the Company the exclusive option for a period of two (2) years to negotiate and enter into a license agreement with CWRU, provided that we meet certain diligence milestones, including but not limited to, (i) delivering a development plan within 18 months, (ii) raising $3 million in either equity, debt, or grant funding, or a combination thereof within 18 months, (iii), generating sufficient preclinical data to support the identification of the initial field of use to support the initial planned clinical indication for the technology, (iv) determining manufacturing processes and cGMP requirements to manufacture the initial product for use in toxicology studies, and (v) identifying required toxicology studies required to support Phase I clinical trials in the initial field of use. In addition, the parties agreed to the royalty rates payable on net sales of licensed products to fall within the range of 4% to 8% and the parties agree to negotiate in good faith on the final licensing terms.

Under the License Option Agreement, Private Mosaic issued CWRU 70,000 shares of Class B Common Stock at the fair market value of $7 on the date of issuance, representing 10% of the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding of Private Mosaic. On August 21, 2020, the Class B Stock was exchanged for shares of Series B Preferred under the Reverse Merger, which included certain anti-dilution rights. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Series B Preferred holder will continue to maintain ownership equal to 10% of the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding of the Company, including for such purposes all other convertible securities outstanding and reserved for issuance except stock options issued and outstanding and reserved for issuance under a board approved employee stock option plans reserving for issuance no more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company then outstanding, until we initially raise at least $1 million from the sale of either preferred or common stock, or a combination thereof (“Capital Threshold”). In addition, pursuant to the License Option Agreement, net working capital acquired under the Reverse Merger of approximately $374,000 was applied against the Capital Threshold. As of December 31, 2020, the remaining Capital Threshold was approximately $626,000. The anti-dilution issuance rights under the License Option Agreement meet the definition of a derivative instrument under FASB’s ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (see Note 3).

In addition, we are responsible for the reimbursement of all patent fees incurred by CWRU under the License Option Agreement from the effective date of the License Option Agreement. During the seven months ended December 31, 2020, we incurred $16,852 in patent legal fees which are included in general and administrative expenses, of which $9,441 and $7,411 were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other, respectively, at December 31, 2020 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Moreover, during the seven months ended December 31, 2020, we incurred $15,000 in legal fees payable to CWRU pursuant to the License Option Agreement, which are included in general and administrative expenses, all of which is included in accounts payable as of December 31, 2020 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, if we enter into a license agreement with CWRU, we would be responsible for the reimbursement of all past patent costs incurred by CWRU though the effective date of the License Option Agreement, which amount has been estimated to be approximately $267,000. This amount will be expensed when the Company intends to enter into a license agreement with CWRU.

Preferred Stock Issued under Reverse Merger

On the Closing Date of the Reverse Merger (see Note 1), PTSC acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Private Mosaic, representing 630,000 shares of its Class A Stock and 70,000 shares of its Class B Stock. In exchange for the Target Common Stock, the holders of the Class A Stock received 630,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred and holders of the Class B Stock received 70,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred.

In addition, holders of the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred have certain investor registration rights, although there are no penalties if the Company is unable to comply with the holders request.

Moreover, the holders of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred agreed to vote all shares owned in favor of an increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock or to vote for a reverse stock split, at a ratio determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, to ensure that the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common stock upon the conversion of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred into shares of common stock. On November 30, 2020, we filed an Amended and Restated Certificate to, among other things, implement a 1-for-500 Reverse Stock Split and to reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock from 600 million to 100 million, as previously approved by the majority stockholders, which provides sufficient authorized shares of common stock for the conversion of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred. The Reverse Stock Split was effective on December 2, 2020. All share numbers and preferred stock conversion numbers included herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-500 Reverse Stock Split (see Note 1).

Series A Preferred

On August 21, 2020, the Company issued 630,000 shares of Series A Preferred (classified as permanent equity), in exchange for 630,000 shares of Series A Common Stock of Private Mosaic. Each share of Series A Preferred has a par value of $0.00001 per share, no dividend rate, a stated value of $6.50 per share, and each share of Series A Preferred converts into 10.194106 shares of common stock of the Company (“Series A Conversion Number”). In addition, the Series A Preferred possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the common stock of the Company, as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation. Furthermore, the Series A Preferred will automatically convert into common stock of the Company upon (i) the Company filing an Amended and Restated Certificate so that the Company has a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of common stock so as to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred into common stock and (ii) the effectiveness of any registration statement registering the resale of the underlying shares. On November 30, 2020, we filed the Amended and Restated Certificate to effect a Reverse Stock Split on December 2, 2020 as to permit the conversion of Series A Preferred, and on December 10, 2020, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to cover the resale of the underlying shares of common stock, as amended on January 21, 2021 (“S-3/A”). The S-3/A was declared effective on January 29, 2021 and pursuant to the Series A Certificate of Designation, the Company converted 630,000 shares of Series A Preferred and issued, in aggregate, 6,422,290 shares of common stock to the underlying holders of Series A Preferred on January 29, 2021 (see Note 11).

Series B Preferred

On August 21, 2020, the Company issued 70,000 shares of Series B Preferred (classified as permanent equity), in exchange for 70,000 shares of Series B Common Stock of Private Mosaic. Each share of Series B Preferred has a par value of $0.00001 per share, no dividend rate, a stated value of $6.50 per share, and each share of Series B Preferred converts into 11.46837 shares of common stock of the Company (“Series B Conversion Number”). In addition, the Series B Preferred possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the common stock of the Company, as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred does not have any mandatory conversion rights and only converts upon written notice from the holder.

The Class B Preferred also includes certain anti-dilution rights (“anti-dilution issuance rights”), whereby the holder of Class B Preferred will continue to maintain ownership equal to 10% of the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding, including for such purposes all other convertible securities outstanding and reserved for issuance except equity awards issued and outstanding and reserved for issuance under a board approved equity compensation plan reserving for issuance no more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company then outstanding, until we raise at least $1 million from the sale of either preferred or common stock, or a combination thereof (“Capital Threshold”). In addition, pursuant to the License Option Agreement, any net working capital acquired under a reverse merger or acquisition shall be applied against the Capital Threshold. The preliminary net working capital of PTSC on the Closing Date was approximately $374,000. As such, the remaining Capital Threshold is approximately $626,000 as of December 31, 2020. The anti-dilution issuance rights meet the definition of a derivative instrument under FASB’s ASC Topic 815 (see Note 3).

In the event of any Liquidation Event, the Holders of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of common stock, an amount per share in cash equal to the greater of (x) the stated value of $6.50 for each share of Series B Preferred then held by the holder or (y) the amount payable per share of common stock which such holder of Series B Preferred would have received if such Holder had converted to common stock immediately prior to the Liquidation Event.

Share-Based Compensation

2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan

On October 21, 2020, we adopted our 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and on October 22, 2020, the 2020 Plan was approved by our stockholders. The 2020 Plan was adopted to promote our long-term success and the creation of stockholder value by motivating participants, through equity incentive awards, to achieve long-term success in our business. The 2020 Plan permits the discretionary award of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and other equity awards to selected participants. Under the 2020 Plan, we have initially reserved 802,785 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder. On the first anniversary date from the adoption date of the 2020 Plan (or October 21, 2021), the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan shall automatically increase to 20% of the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding, including shares of common stock reserved for issuance under convertible securities, such as the shares issuable upon the conversion of Series A and Series B Preferred, as calculated on an as-converted basis.

The cost of all share-based awards will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on the fair value of the awards. The fair value of stock option awards will be determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the date of grant. The fair value of restricted stock awards and RSUs will be equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The Company will generally recognize share-based compensation expense over the period of vesting or period that services will be provided for all time-based awards. During the seven months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $45,708 in share-based compensation expense, of which, $6,756 was included in research and development and $38,952 was included in general and administrative in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. There was no share-based compensation expense recognized during the period ended May 31, 2020.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020 are as follows:

	December 31, 2020			May 31, 2020
Deferred tax assets (liabilities):

We have federal and state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income of approximately $2,979,000 and $769,000 at December 31, 2020, respectively, of which approximately $2,654,000 and $445,000, respectively, are subject to a limitation under IRS Section 382. These carryforwards begin to expire in the years ending December 31, 2025 and 2028, respectively.

We have refundable alternative minimum tax credits of $26,078 at December 31, 2020 which we expect to collect during the year ending December 31, 2021.

We follow authoritative guidance which defines criteria that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in a company’s financial statements and also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. Interest and penalties relating to underpayment of income taxes are recorded in general and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2020, we are subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the tax years May 31, 2007 through December 31, 2020, and we are subject to state and local income tax examinations for the tax years May 31, 2007 through December 31, 2020 due to the carryover of net operating losses related to PDSG from previous years.

We have no liability relating to unrecognized tax benefits under the authoritative guidance for the transition period ended December 31, 2020 and the period ended May 31, 2020.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

While the Company is not involved in any litigation as of December 31, 2020, the Company may be involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to intellectual property, employment, and contractual matters. Any litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows in the period in which the unfavorable outcome occurs or becomes probable, and potentially in future periods.

Indemnification

We have made certain guarantees and indemnities, under which we may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party. We indemnify our directors, officers, employees, and agents to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and in many cases is indefinite. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, we have not been obligated to make any payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these guarantees and indemnities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Escrow Shares

On August 31, 2009, we gave notice to the former shareholders of Crossflo and Union Bank of California (the “Escrow Agent”) under Section 2.5 of the Agreement and Plan of Merger between us and Crossflo (the “Agreement”), outlining damages incurred by us in conjunction with the acquisition of Crossflo, and seeking the return of 5,690 shares of our common stock held by the Escrow Agent. Subsequently, former shareholders of Crossflo, representing a majority of the escrowed shares responded in protest to our claim, delaying the release of the escrowed shares until a formal resolution is reached. In the event we fail to prevail in our claim against the escrowed shares, we may be obligated to deposit into escrow approximately $256,000 of cash consideration due to the decline in our average stock price over the one-year escrow period calculated in accordance with Section 2.5 of the Agreement. We have evaluated the potential for loss regarding our claim and believe that it is probable that the resolution of this issue will not result in a material obligation to the Company, although there is no assurance of this. Accordingly, we have not recorded a liability for this matter.

Patent Expenses

Under the License Option Agreement (see Note 6), if we enter into a license agreement with CWRU, we would be responsible for the reimbursement of all past patent costs incurred by CWRU though the date of the License Option Agreement, which amount has been estimated to be approximately $267,000. This amount will be expensed when the Company intends to enter into a license agreement with CWRU.

Operating Lease

We have no lease obligations as of December 31, 2020. During November 2020, we terminated our month-to-month operating lease and employees are working from home offices at no cost to the Company.

10. Related Parties

During the seven months ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved to enter into consulting agreements with Nicole Steinmetz, Ph.D., acting Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Steinmetz’s spouse, and Steve Fiering, Ph.D., each a co-founder of Private Mosaic and greater than 5% shareholder of the Company, for their scientific contributions towards advancing the technology platforms, in the monthly amounts of $5,000, $2,500, and $2,500, respectively. While there were no mutually signed consulting agreements in place as of December 31, 2020, we accrued $40,000 in aggregate, included in research and development expenses for the seven months ended December 31, 2020, all of which is included in accrued expenses and other in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.

11. Subsequent Events

On January 29, 2021, we issued 6,422,290 shares of common stock upon the automatic conversion of 630,000 shares of Series A Preferred (see Note 7).

We have evaluated subsequent events after the consolidated balance sheet date and through the filing date of this transition report on Form 10-KT, and based on our evaluation, management has determined that no other subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the accompanying consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes thereto other than as disclosed herein and in the accompanying notes.
