REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Oncotelic Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Oncotelic Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matter
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and has negative operating cash flows, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our 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 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 and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our 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 financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
Note 1 – organization and business operations
Oncotelic, Inc. (“Oncotelic,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a cancer immunotherapy company dedicated to the development of first in class self-immunization protocol (SIP®) candidates for difficult to treat cancers. The Company’s proprietary SIP® candidates offer advantages over other immunotherapies because they do not require extraction of the tumor or isolation of the antigens, and they have the potential for broad-spectrum applicability for multiple cancer types. The Company’s proprietary product candidates have shown promising clinical activity in phase 2 trials for the treatment of gliomas and pancreatic cancers. The Company aims to translate its unique insights, which span more than three decades of original work using RNA therapeutics, into the deployment of antisense as an RNA therapeutic for diseases which are caused by TGF-beta overexpression, starting with cancer and expanding to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and others.
Oncotelic was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 5, 2015.
Reverse Merger
On April 17, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Mateon Therapeutics, Inc. (“Mateon”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing investigational drugs for the treatment of orphan oncology indications and its wholly-owned subsidiary Oncotelic Acquisition Corporation (the “Merger Sub”). Upon the terms described in the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub was merged with and into Oncotelic (the “Merger”), with Oncotelic surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
On April 22, 2019, the Company completed the Merger and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mateon. In connection with the Merger each share of Oncotelic common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (excluding any shares of Oncotelic held by stockholders exercising dissenters’ appraisal rights) was converted solely into the right to receive (i) 3.97335267 shares of Mateon common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) 0.01877292 shares of Mateon’s newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). Following the closing of the Merger, the former Oncotelic security holders own approximately 85% of Mateon’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock), and Mateon’s stockholders prior to the Merger own approximately 15% of Mateon’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (including any shares of Common Stock Issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock).
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2018, we had a significant accumulated deficit of approximately $5.5 million and working capital deficit of approximately $0.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had a loss from operations of approximately $0.7 million and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $0.24 million. Our operating activities consume the majority of our cash resources. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating losses as we execute our development plans for 2019, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives. In addition, we have had and expect to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. We have previously funded, and plan to continue funding, our losses primarily through the sale of equity, combined with or without warrants, and convertible notes. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain such funds required for our operations at terms acceptable to us or at all and as such, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
F-7 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with 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 revenue and expenses during the reported period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets, legal contingencies and fair value of financial instruments. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates under different assumptions or circumstances.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.
The Company deposits its cash with major financial institutions and may at times exceed the federally insured limit. At December 31, 2018, the Company had no cash balances in excess of the federal insurance limit.
Intangible Assets
The Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company reviews the intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that they are impaired. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors.
Investment in Equity Securities
The Company received Series E Preferred Shares of Adhera Therapeutics, Inc. in considerations for the Company’s common stock issued related to various Securities Purchase Agreements (See Notes 4 and 5). The Company records its investments in equity securities initially at cost in accordance with ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC 320”). The Company subsequently marks the investments to market at each reporting period and, in accordance with ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – (Overall), records the unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. There were no unrealized gains or losses on investments in equity securities for the year ended December 31, 2018. There were no investments in equity securities for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We consider the fair value of cash and accounts payable to related parties not to be materially different from their carrying value. These financial instruments have short-term maturities. We follow authoritative guidance with respect to fair value reporting issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for financial assets and liabilities, which defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. The guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use. |
F-8 |
Our cash is subject to fair value measurement and is determined by Level 1 inputs. Our long-term investment is subject to fair value measurement and is determined by Level 2 inputs. There were no liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Investments in Equity Securities | ||||||||||||||||||||

$ | 1,769,000 | $ | - | $ | 1,769,000 | $ | - | $ | 1,769,000 |
The Company categorizes its investments in equity securities as a Level 2 financial instrument. While there is no direct observable quoted price for the Series E Preferred Shares the Company believes there is an indirect observable quoted price for similar assets in an active market.
The Adhera Therapeutics Series E Preferred Shares were received as consideration for issuances of the Company’s common stock related to various Securities Purchase Agreements (See Notes 4 and 5) and, as such, the Company did not use cash to acquire such securities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. This update is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. ASU 2014-09 will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The ASU also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company did not have any revenues for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and may not have revenues in the near future. The adoption of ASC 606 will not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
F-9 |
On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new guidance establishes the principles to report transparent and economically neutral information about the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
All other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share includes the effect of common stock equivalents (stock options, unvested restricted stock, and warrants) when, under either the treasury or if-converted method, such inclusion in the computation would be dilutive. The following number of shares have been excluded from diluted loss since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Stock options outstanding | 586,032 | - | ||||||
Warrants | 150,000 | 150,000 | ||||||
Total | 736,032 | 150,000 |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the statements of operations.
For stock options issued to employees and members of the board of directors for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised.
Pursuant to ASU 2018-07 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value the stock options that are in line with the process for valuing employee stock options noted above.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company utilizes ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax assets will not be realized.
F-10 |
For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 3 – PREPAID AND OTHER ASSETS
Prepaid expenses and other assets at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 include prepaid license fees paid to Autotelic Inc., an affiliate company, in regard to the use of the product owned by Autotelic Inc. The prepaid amount was being amortized monthly at $6,586. In April 2018, the Company acquired the rights to the license of the product from Autotelic for $819,191 (See Note 4). As a result of the Company acquiring the rights to the product we capitalized the remaining $190,991 as an intangible on the date of the acquisition and commenced amortizing the intangible at $802 per month over the remaining life of the asset. Prepaid expenses were $0 and $217,333 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Note 4 - Related Party Transactions
Master Service Agreement with Autotelic Inc.
In October 2015, the Company entered into a Master Service Agreement (the “MSA”) with Autotelic Inc., a related party that is partly-owned by the Company’s CEO Vuong Trieu, Ph.D. Dr. Trieu, a related party, is a control person in Autotelic Inc. Autotelic Inc. currently owns less than 10% of the Company. The MSA stated that Autotelic Inc. will provide business functions and services to the Company and allowed Autotelic Inc. to charge the Company for these expenses paid on its behalf.

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
Because of the nature of our activities, we are subject to claims and/or threatened legal actions, which arise out of the normal course of business. As of the date of this filing, we are not aware of any pending lawsuits against us, our officers or our directors.
Leases
The Company had no operating or capital leases as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES
We have identified our federal and California state tax returns as “major” tax jurisdictions. The periods our income tax returns are subject to examination for these jurisdictions are 2015 through 2017. We believe our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit, and we do not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no liabilities for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.
At December 31, 2018, we had available net operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes of approximately $4.7 million which are available to offset future taxable income. Portions of these carry-forwards will expire through 2038 if not otherwise utilized. We have not performed a formal analysis, but we believe our ability to use such net operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards is subject to annual limitations due to change of control provisions under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, which significantly impacts our ability to realize these deferred tax assets.
Our net deferred tax assets, liabilities and valuation allowance as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 are summarized as follows:
Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
Net operating loss carryforwards | $ | 1,301,600 | $ | 1,185,089 | ||||
Tax credit carryforwards | - | - | ||||||
Total deferred tax assets | 1,301,600 | 1,185,089 | ||||||
Valuation allowance | (1,301,600 | ) | (1,185,089 | ) | ||||
Net deferred tax assets | $ | - | $ | - |
We record a valuation allowance in the full amount of our net deferred tax assets since realization of such tax benefits has been determined by our management to be less likely than not. The valuation allowance increased $116,511 and $1,185,089 during 2018 and 2017, respectively.
In 2018 and 2017, there was income tax expense of $800 and $800, respectively, due to our income tax due the state of California.
As of the date of this filing, the Company has not filed its 2018 federal and state corporate income tax returns. The Company expects to file these documents as soon as practicable.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the US federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and will require the Company to re-measure certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are anticipated to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. The Company adopted the new rate as it relates to the calculations, of deferred tax amounts as of December 31, 2017.

On April 17, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.

The other securities purchase agreements, aggregating up to $400,000 in principal amount of debentures, are with Vuong Trieu, Ph.D. and another investor (the “Bridge Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Bridge Investors Debentures on substantially the same terms issued to Peak One and TKF, although without share reservation requirements, commitment fees or right to certain liquidated damages.
F-16 |
On April 23, 2019, the Company completed the initial tranche of financing pursuant to the Bridge Financing. In connection with the Bridge Financing, the Company issued a $200,000 principal amount debenture to Peak One, a $200,000 principal amount debenture to TFK and an aggregate $200,000 principal amount debenture to the Bridge Investors (collectively, the “Debentures”). The Debentures were issued at a 10% original issue discount for gross proceeds of $540,000. The Debentures will mature on the third anniversary of their issuance and may be redeemed by the Company prior to maturity, subject to the prepayment penalties.
Under the terms of the securities purchase agreements for the Bridge Financing, the Company has the right to draw down a second tranche of $600,000 face amount of Debentures for an aggregate purchase price of $540,000 at any time after May 23, 2019.
On June 12, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment of its securities purchase agreement with Peak One (the “Amendment”) in connection with the draw-down of the second tranche, and to provide for additional borrowing capacity under the agreement.
On June 14, 2019, the Company closed the second tranche of financing with Peak One, issuing an additional $200,000 face amount Debenture for gross proceeds of $180,000 after original issue discount.

Following the Amendment and the drawdown of the second tranche from Peak One, up to $600,000 in face value of Debentures remains available under the securities purchase agreements.

Exhibit 99.2
MATEON THERAPEUTICS, INC.
CONDENSED COMBINED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet (“pro forma balance sheet”) as of December 31, 2018 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“pro forma statement of comprehensive loss” and, together with the pro forma balance sheet, the “pro forma financial statements”) are based on the historical balance sheets and statements of operations of Mateon Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mateon”) and Oncotelic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Oncotelic”), after giving effect to Mateon’s acquisition of Oncotelic on April 22, 2019, and applying the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The acquisition is treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for financial accounting purposes. Oncotelic is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and Mateon’s historical financial statements before the acquisition will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Oncotelic, as described in Note 1 to these pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Mateon’s (the accounting acquiree’s) tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded based upon their estimated fair values as of April 22, 2019, the closing date of the acquisition. The excess purchase price over the value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.
The pro forma balance sheet is presented as if the acquisition had occurred on December 31, 2018 and is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of Mateon at December 31, 2018 and the audited balance sheet of Oncotelic at December 31, 2018 and gives effect to certain pro forma adjustments.
The pro forma statement of comprehensive loss is derived from the historical statements of operations of Mateon and Oncotelic and are presented as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018 and give effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma statement of comprehensive loss includes all adjustments that give effect to events that are directly attributable to the transaction, are expected to have a continuing impact, and that are factually supportable.
The pro forma adjustments and related assumptions are described in the accompanying notes presented on the following pages. The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable.
The pro forma financial statements have been prepared by management for illustrative purposes only, in accordance with Article 8-05 of Regulation S-X and are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Mateon and Oncotelic been a combined company during the specified periods. The pro forma financial statements, including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with:
● | the accompanying notes to the pro forma financial statements; |
● | the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the related notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2019; and |
● | the audited financial statements of Oncotelic for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the related notes thereto, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. |
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price of Mateon is calculated as described in Note 2 to these pro forma financial statements, and is allocated to assets and liabilities of Oncotelic based on estimated fair values.
The purchase price allocation takes into account the information management believes is reasonable. Nevertheless, we have one year from the closing date of the acquisition to make a final determination of purchase accounting allocations, if any, and, accordingly, adjustments may be made to the foregoing allocation for the acquisition.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ACQUISITION OF ONCOTELIC, INC
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (“pro forma financial statements”) were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X, and present the pro forma financial position and the statements of comprehensive loss of the combined companies based upon the historical data of Mateon Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mateon” or the “Company”), and Oncotelic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Oncotelic”).
Description of Transaction
On April 17, 2019, the Company, Oncotelic Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and Oncotelic entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”).
Effective April 22, 2019, Merger Sub merged with and into Oncotelic (the “Merger”), pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Oncotelic was the surviving corporation and, as a result of the Merger, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. For all bookkeeping and accounting purposes, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) was to be deemed to have occurred at 10:00 am local time on April 22, 2019. Immediately prior to the Closing, there were 41,419,934 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) were issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement at the effective time of the Merger:
● | Oncotelic’s outstanding 10,289,579 shares of common stock were exchanged for an aggregate of (a) 41,000,033 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and (b) 193,713 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) each of which are initially convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock; and |
● | Holders of the Company’s Common Stock at the close of business on the date prior to the effectiveness of the Merger were issued a Contingent Value Right (“CVR”). |
Each CVR provides its holder the right to receive 75% of the net proceeds received from the full or partial sale, license, transfer or other disposition of the intellectual property rights and related assets of Mateon’s product candidates OXi4503 and CA4P, in their form and for their contemplated uses at the time of Closing, that occurs under a definitive agreement executed prior to the fourth anniversary of the Merger (after the initial $500,000 of such net proceeds, which will be retained by the Company). The CVRs are not transferrable, do not entitle the holder to any equity interest in the Company and do not have any voting or dividend rights.

The Company has concluded that the transaction represents a business combination as described in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Mateon stockholders prior to the Merger retain Common Stock representing approximately 15% ownership of the post-Merger company. Therefore, upon consummation of the Merger, there was a change in control of the Company, with the former owners of Oncotelic effectively acquiring control of the Company. In accordance with ASC 805, Oncotelic is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and the Company’s historical financial statements before the Merger will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Oncotelic before the Merger in future filings with the SEC.
Oncotelic has not yet completed a final valuation analysis of the fair market value of Mateon’s assets and liabilities acquired. The preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma financial statements. The final purchase price allocation will be determined after the Company has completed independent valuations and other studies and necessary calculations. The final purchase price allocation could differ materially from the preliminary purchase price allocation used to prepare the pro forma adjustments. The final purchase price allocation may include (1) changes to the ultimate purchase consideration, (2) changes in allocations to goodwill, intangible assets and in process research and development, if any(4) other changes to assets and liabilities.

NOTE 2 - PRELIMINARY PURCHASE PRICE
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger, Mateon issued to Oncotelic stockholders a number of shares of Mateon Common Stock and Preferred Stock representing approximately 85% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the combined company (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock). The purchase price of approximately $3.7 million represents the consideration transferred from Mateon in the Merger and is calculated based on the number of shares of Common Stock of the combined company that Mateon stockholders owned as of the closing of the transaction and the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed by Oncotelic.
The value of the shares of Common Stock Mateon issued to Oncotelic stockholders, for purposes of this pro forma condensed combined financial information, is calculated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement based on Mateon common stock outstanding as of April 17, 2019, as follows:
Amount | Percentage | |||||||
Shares of Mateon Common Stock outstanding on April 17, 2019 | 41,419,934 | 15.0 | % | |||||
Shares of Mateon Common Stock issued in the Merger, including shares issuable upon exercise of preferred stock | 234,713,028 | |||||||
Adjusted total common shares of combined company | 276,132,962 | 85.0 | % | |||||
Closing price of Mateon Common Stock on April 17, 2019 | $ | 0.09 | ||||||
Market value of Mateon on April 17, 2019 | $ | 3,728,000 | ||||||
Market value of Oncotelic on April 17, 2019 | $ | 21,124,000 |
The closing price of Mateon Common Stock on April 22, 2019, the date the Merger was completed, was the same as the closing price of Mateon Common Stock on April 17, 2019, the date the companies entered into the Merger Agreement. Neither company had any changes in its capital structure between April 17, 2019 and April 22, 2019, other than the issuance of Mateon Common Stock and Preferred Stock pursuant to the Merger.
The application of the acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to be completed. The purchase price allocation will remain preliminary until Oncotelic management determines the fair values of all of the assets acquired, including goodwill and other intangible assets, and all of the liabilities assumed. The final determination of the purchase price allocation is anticipated to be completed as soon as practicable and will be based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the transaction closing date. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ significantly from the amounts presented in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements for the reasons described in Note 1.
For purposes of this pro forma analysis, the purchase price as of December 31, 2018 has been allocated based on a preliminary estimate of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of April 22, 2019 as follows:
Fair Value | ||||
(in thousands) | ||||
Cash | $ | 183 | ||
Prepaid Expenses | 56 | |||
Right of use operating asset | 34 | |||
Accounts payable and other current liabilities assumed | (1,425 | ) | ||
Net liability acquired | (1,152 | ) | ||
Goodwill | 4,880 | |||
Total purchase price | $ | 3,728 |

Liquidity and Going Concern
The merger of Mateon and Oncotelic does not resolve the significant doubt regarding the combined company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Mateon has experienced net losses every year since inception and as of December 31, 2018 had an accumulated deficit of approximately $295 million. Oncotelic has been formed more recently and, as of December 31, 2018, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $6 million. Immediately following the Merger, the Company had $0.2 million in cash and current liabilities of $1.4 million, prior to a bridge financing which raised $0.6 million and the potential for an additional $0.6 million. The Company does not expect to generate revenue from product sales in the near future and expects to incur significant additional operating losses over the next several years, primarily as a result of the Company’s plans to continue clinical trials for its investigational drugs.
The Company’s history of recurring losses and uncertainties as to whether the Company’s operations will become profitable raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, since the Company’s capital resources are not sufficient to sustain operations for the next twelve months. The Company anticipates raising additional capital through the sale of equity securities, but no other financing arrangements are in place at this time. The condensed financial statements contained in this report do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
If the Company is unable to access additional funds when needed, it may not be able to continue the development of its investigational drugs and the Company could be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its development programs and operations. Any additional equity financing, if available, would be dilutive to the current stockholders and may not be available on favorable terms. Additional debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and could also be dilutive. The Company’s ability to access capital is not assured and, if access is not achieved on a timely basis, would materially harm the Company’s financial condition, business prospects and the value of its Common Stock and its business prospects.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The pro forma financial statements have been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Company. The accounting policies of Oncotelic were not deemed to be materially different to those adopted by the Company. See the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION-RELATED COSTS
In conjunction with the Merger, the Company incurred acquisition-related charges, related primarily to investment banking, legal, accounting and other professional services all of which are expensed as incurred.
NOTE 5 - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The pro forma financial statements are based upon the historical financial statements of the Company and Oncotelic and certain adjustments which the Company believes are reasonable to give effect to the Merger. These adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions, and therefore the actual impacts will likely differ from the pro forma adjustments. As discussed above in Note 2, the fair value amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary at this time. However, the Company believes that the preliminary determination of fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities and other related assumptions utilized in preparing the pro forma financial statements provide a reasonable basis for presenting the pro forma effects of the Merger.
