DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Description of Business Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. (f/k/a Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.) (“Oncotelic”), was formed in the State of New York in 1988 as OXiGENE, Inc., was reincorporated in the State of Delaware in 1992, and changed its name to Mateon Therapeutics, Inc. in 2016, and Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. in November 2020. Oncotelic conducts business activities through Oncotelic and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Oncotelic, Inc., a Delaware corporation, PointR Data, Inc. (“PointR”), a Delaware corporation: and EdgePoint AI, Inc. (“Edgepoint”), a Delaware Corporation for which there are non-controlling interests, (Oncotelic, Oncotelic Inc., PointR and Edgepoint are collectively called the “Company” or “We”). The Company is currently developing OT-101 for various cancers and COVID-19, Artemisinin for COVID-19 and AI technologies for clinical development and manufacturing. The Company has acquired apomorphine for Parkinson’s Disease, erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction. In addition, the Company is evaluating the further development of its product candidates OXi4503 as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes and CA4P in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma. In April 2019, Oncotelic completed a merger with Oncotelic Inc., which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Oncotelic. The merger was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for financial accounting purposes. Oncotelic Inc. is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and Oncotelic Inc.’s historical financial statements before the merger have been replaced with the historical financial statements of Oncotelic Inc. prior to the merger in the financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). For more information on this merger, refer to our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021. In August 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with PointR Date, Inc. PointR survived the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The PointR Merger was intended to create a publicly-traded artificial intelligence (“AI”) driven immuno-oncology company with a robust pipeline of first in class TGF-β immunotherapies for late stage cancers such as gliomas, pancreatic cancer and melanoma. In November 2019, pursuant to the terms of the PointR Merger Agreement, the Company completed the PointR Merger. For more information on this merger, refer to our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021. In February 2020, the Company formed a subsidiary, Edgepoint. Edgepoint was formed as a start-up company, with plans to develop technologies and IP related to various unmet issues within the pharma and medical device industries. The Company may spin off Edgepoint into a separate public company in the future. The Company 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 a RNA therapeutic for diseases which are caused by TGF-β overexpression, starting with cancer and expanding to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (“DMD”) and others. Oncotelic Inc.’s product candidate, OT-101, is being developed as a broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug that can also be used in combination with other standard cancer therapies to establish an effective multi-modality treatment strategy for difficult-to-treat cancers. Together, the Company plans to initiate phase 3 clinical trials for OT-101 in both high-grade glioma and pancreatic cancer, and any other indications that may evolve. The Company is evaluating the further development of its product candidates OXi4503 as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes and CA4P in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma. The Company is also developing OT-101 for the various epidemics and pandemics, similar to the current coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. In this connection, the Company entered into an agreement and supplemental agreement with Golden Mountain Partners (“GMP”) for a total of $1.2 million to render services for the development of OT-101. Such amount was recorded as revenue upon completion of all performance obligations under the agreement. Further, In June 2020, the Company secured $2 million in debt financing from GMP to conduct a clinical trial evaluating OT-101 against COVID-19. The Company discontinued enrollment in its OT-101 clinical trial in patients with COVID-19 in June 2021. In September 2021, the Company secured a further $1.5 million in debt from GMP to complete the study. The trial completed randomization of 32 out of 36 patients planned, on an intent to treat basis. The discontinuance of the trial was due to the continuing rise of more severe variants in Latin America, leading to exhaustion of medical care infrastructure in Latin America. In 2020 and 2021, the Company was developing Artemisinin as a potential therapy for COVID-19. Artemisinin, purified from a plant Artemisia annua. It can inhibit TGF-β activity and is able to neutralize COVID-19. The Company initially conducted a study and the test results during an in vitro study at Utah State University showed Artemisinin having an EC50 of 0.45 ug/ml, and a Safety Index of 140. Artemisinin can target multiple viral threats, including COVID-19, by suppressing both viral replication and clinical symptoms that arise from viral infection. Viral replication cannot occur without TGF-β. In a clinical study undertaken in India, clinical consequences related to the TGF-β surge, including ARDS and cytokine storm, were suppressed by targeting TGF-β with Artemisinin. The ARTI-19 trials were conducted in India by Windlas Biotech Limited (“Windlas”), the Company’s business partner in India. Windlas had applied for regulatory approval for its Artemisinin based product, ArtiShield^TM, but has not been able to obtain regulatory approval for use of ArtiShield^TM as a COVID-19 therapy and as such, no significant revenues have been reported by Windlas nor have we accrued any royalties on Artemisinin due from Windlas. We intend to focus future development on Artemisinin against other respiratory viruses with unmet needs. Between October 2021 and March 2022, GMP provided $1.0 million to the Company to fund operations on the way to complete a JV with the Company. Fundraising J.H. Darbie Financing Notes & Issuance of Oncotelic Warrants Between July 2020 and March 2021, the Company issued and sold a total of 100 units (“Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) 25,000 shares of Edgepoint common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Edgepoint Common Stock”), for a price of $1.00 per share of Edgepoint Common Stock; (ii) one convertible promissory note issued by the Company (the “Unit Note”), convertible into up to 25,000 shares of EdgePoint Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share, or up to 138,889 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a conversion price of $0.18 per share; and (iii) 100,000 warrants, consisting of (a) 50,000 warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of EdgePoint Common Stock at $1.00 per share (“Edgepoint Warrant”), and (b) 50,000 warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of Company Common Stock at $0.20 per share (“Oncotelic Warrant”) (collectively, the “JH Darbie Financing”). In June 2021, the Company and the Investors agreed to extend the maturity date of the Notes from June 30, 2021, to March 31, 2022. In addition, the Company and JHDarbie identified an error in the Oncotelic Warrants and JH Darbie Financing documents which intended to have the investors to purchase $50,000 of shares of Common Stock or Edgepoint Common Stock. However, the Company only issued 50,000 Oncotelic Warrants, with an aggregate exercise price of $10,000. The error was corrected by the Company and the Company issued to the Investors an aggregate of 20.0 million additional Oncotelic Warrants, and 2.0 million additional Oncotelic Warrants to J.H. Darbie., as placement agent. Each Investor was entitled to receive 200,000 additional Oncotelic Warrants for each Unit purchased. The issuance of the additional warrants resulted in the Company recording an expense of $2,023,552 in the Company’s statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2021. No similar expense was recorded in the same period in 2020. Management reviewed the guidance per ASC 470-60 Troubled debt restructurings and ASC 470-50 Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments and concluded that the terms of the agreements were not substantially different as of June 30, 2021, and, accounted for the transaction as a debt modification. In February 2022, the Company and 99 out of 100 of the Investors agreed to extend the maturity date of the Notes from March 31, 2022, to March 31, 2023. In addition, the Company issued approximately 33 million Oncotelic Warrants to purchase $50,000 of shares of Common Stock in connection with agreeing to extend the maturity date by one year. The issuance of the additional warrants resulted in the Company recording an expense of approximately $2.9 million in the Company’s statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022. No similar expense was recorded in the same period in 2020. Management reviewed the guidance per ASC 470-60 Troubled debt restructurings and ASC 470-50 Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments and concluded that the terms of the agreements were not substantially different as of June 30, 2021, and, accounted for the transaction as a debt extinguishment. Equity Purchase Agreement In May 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “EPL”) and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Peak One”), pursuant to which the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct Peak One to purchase up to $10.0 million (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) in shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) in multiple tranches. The Company has directed Peak One, on ten occasions, for an aggregate of 3.7 million shares of Common Stock for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $0.4 million. The Company filed a post-effective amendment to reregister the EPL on April 26, 2022 and the post effective amendment was found effective by the SEC on May 6, 2022. August 2021 Notes In August 2021, the Company issued Note Purchase Agreements with Autotelic Inc., the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and certain other accredited investors. Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreements, the Company issued an aggregate of $698,500 (the “Principal Amount”) in debt in the form of unsecured convertible promissory notes (collectively, the “Notes”).

Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oncotelic, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Oncotelic Inc. and PointR, and Edgepoint our non-controlled interest entity. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Liquidity and Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net accumulated losses of approximately $35.9 million since inception of Oncotelic Inc., as the Company’s historical financial statements before the Merger have been replaced with the historical financial statements of Oncotelic Inc. The Company also has a negative working capital of approximately $16.7 million at March 31, 2022, of which approximately $2.6 million contingent liability of issuance of common shares of the Company to PointR shareholders upon achievement of certain milestones in accordance with the PointR Merger Agreement. The Company has negative cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of approximately $1.0 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of this filing. Management expects to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future and recognizes the need to raise capital to remain viable. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s long-term plans include continued development of its current pipeline of products, in addition to continue the development of OT-101 which is now the product of the JV, to generate sufficient revenues, through either technology transfer or product sales, to cover its anticipated expenses. Until the Company is able to generate sufficient revenues from its current pipeline, the Company plans on funding its operations through the sale of equity and/or the issuance of debt, combined with or without warrants or other equity instruments. Although no assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to deliver on its revenue plans, or that unforeseen expenses may arise, management believes that the potential equity and debt financing or other potential financing will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern. Also, management cannot guarantee any potential debt or equity financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. As such, management does not believe the Company has sufficient cash for 12 months from the date of this report. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company will need to curtail operations, or cease operations completely.

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. (f/k/a Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.) (“Oncotelic”), was formed in the State of New York in 1988 as OXiGENE, Inc., was reincorporated in the State of Delaware in 1992, and changed its name to Mateon Therapeutics, Inc. in 2016, and Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. in November 2020. Oncotelic conducts business activities through Oncotelic and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Oncotelic, Inc., a Delaware corporation, PointR Data, Inc. (“PointR”), a Delaware corporation: and EdgePoint AI, Inc. (“Edgepoint”), a Delaware Corporation for which there are non-controlling interests, (Oncotelic, Oncotelic Inc., PointR and Edgepoint are collectively called the “Company” or “We”). The Company is currently developing OT-101 for various cancers and COVID-19, Artemisinin for COVID-19 and AI technologies for clinical development and manufacturing. The Company has acquired apomorphine for Parkinson’s Disease, erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction. In addition, the Company is evaluating the further development of its product candidates OXi4503 as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes and CA4P in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma.

In April 2019, Oncotelic completed a merger with Oncotelic Inc., which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Oncotelic. The merger was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for financial accounting purposes. Oncotelic Inc. is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and Oncotelic Inc.’s historical financial statements before the merger have been replaced with the historical financial statements of Oncotelic Inc. prior to the merger in the financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). For more information on this merger, refer to our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021.

In August 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with PointR Date, Inc. PointR survived the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The PointR Merger was intended to create a publicly-traded artificial intelligence (“AI”) driven immuno-oncology company with a robust pipeline of first in class TGF-β immunotherapies for late stage cancers such as gliomas, pancreatic cancer and melanoma. In November 2019, pursuant to the terms of the PointR Merger Agreement, the Company completed the PointR Merger. For more information on this merger, refer to our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021.

In February 2020, the Company formed a subsidiary, Edgepoint. Edgepoint was formed as a start-up company, with plans to develop technologies and IP related to various unmet issues within the pharma and medical device industries. The Company may spin off Edgepoint into a separate public company in the future.

The Company 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 a RNA therapeutic for diseases which are caused by TGF-β overexpression, starting with cancer and expanding to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (“DMD”) and others. Oncotelic Inc.’s product candidate, OT-101, is being developed as a broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug that can also be used in combination with other standard cancer therapies to establish an effective multi-modality treatment strategy for difficult-to-treat cancers. Together, the Company plans to initiate phase 3 clinical trials for OT-101 in both high-grade glioma and pancreatic cancer, and any other indications that may evolve. The Company is evaluating the further development of its product candidates OXi4503 as a treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes and CA4P in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma.

The Company is also developing OT-101 for the various epidemics and pandemics, similar to the current coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. In this connection, the Company entered into an agreement and supplemental agreement with Golden Mountain Partners (“GMP”) for a total of $1.2 million to render services for the development of OT-101. Such amount was recorded as revenue upon completion of all performance obligations under the agreement. Further, In June 2020, the Company secured $2 million in debt financing from GMP to conduct a clinical trial evaluating OT-101 against COVID-19. The Company discontinued enrollment in its OT-101 clinical trial in patients with COVID-19 in June 2021. In September 2021, the Company secured a further $1.5 million in debt from GMP to complete the study. The trial completed randomization of 32 out of 36 patients planned, on an intent to treat basis. The discontinuance of the trial was due to the continuing rise of more severe variants in Latin America, leading to exhaustion of medical care infrastructure in Latin America.

In 2020 and 2021, the Company was developing Artemisinin as a potential therapy for COVID-19. Artemisinin, purified from a plant Artemisia annua. It can inhibit TGF-β activity and is able to neutralize COVID-19. The Company initially conducted a study and the test results during an in vitro study at Utah State University showed Artemisinin having an EC50 of 0.45 ug/ml, and a Safety Index of 140. Artemisinin can target multiple viral threats, including COVID-19, by suppressing both viral replication and clinical symptoms that arise from viral infection. Viral replication cannot occur without TGF-β. In a clinical study undertaken in India, clinical consequences related to the TGF-β surge, including ARDS and cytokine storm, were suppressed by targeting TGF-β with Artemisinin. The ARTI-19 trials were conducted in India by Windlas Biotech Limited (“Windlas”), the Company’s business partner in India. Windlas had applied for regulatory approval for its Artemisinin based product, ArtiShield^TM, but has not been able to obtain regulatory approval for use of ArtiShield^TM as a COVID-19 therapy and as such, no significant revenues have been reported by Windlas nor have we accrued any royalties on Artemisinin due from Windlas. We intend to focus future development on Artemisinin against other respiratory viruses with unmet needs.

Between October 2021 and March 2022, GMP provided $1.0 million to the Company to fund operations on the way to complete a JV with the Company.

Fundraising

J.H. Darbie Financing Notes & Issuance of Oncotelic Warrants

Between July 2020 and March 2021, the Company issued and sold a total of 100 units (“Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) 25,000 shares of Edgepoint common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Edgepoint Common Stock”), for a price of $1.00 per share of Edgepoint Common Stock; (ii) one convertible promissory note issued by the Company (the “Unit Note”), convertible into up to 25,000 shares of EdgePoint Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share, or up to 138,889 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a conversion price of $0.18 per share; and (iii) 100,000 warrants, consisting of (a) 50,000 warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of EdgePoint Common Stock at $1.00 per share (“Edgepoint Warrant”), and (b) 50,000 warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of Company Common Stock at $0.20 per share (“Oncotelic Warrant”) (collectively, the “JH Darbie Financing”).

In June 2021, the Company and the Investors agreed to extend the maturity date of the Notes from June 30, 2021, to March 31, 2022. In addition, the Company and JHDarbie identified an error in the Oncotelic Warrants and JH Darbie Financing documents which intended to have the investors to purchase $50,000 of shares of Common Stock or Edgepoint Common Stock. However, the Company only issued 50,000 Oncotelic Warrants, with an aggregate exercise price of $10,000. The error was corrected by the Company and the Company issued to the Investors an aggregate of 20.0 million additional Oncotelic Warrants, and 2.0 million additional Oncotelic Warrants to J.H. Darbie., as placement agent. Each Investor was entitled to receive 200,000 additional Oncotelic Warrants for each Unit purchased. The issuance of the additional warrants resulted in the Company recording an expense of $2,023,552 in the Company’s statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2021. No similar expense was recorded in the same period in 2020. Management reviewed the guidance per ASC 470-60 Troubled debt restructurings and ASC 470-50 Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments and concluded that the terms of the agreements were not substantially different as of June 30, 2021, and, accounted for the transaction as a debt modification.

In February 2022, the Company and 99 out of 100 of the Investors agreed to extend the maturity date of the Notes from March 31, 2022, to March 31, 2023. In addition, the Company issued approximately 33 million Oncotelic Warrants to purchase $50,000 of shares of Common Stock in connection with agreeing to extend the maturity date by one year. The issuance of the additional warrants resulted in the Company recording an expense of approximately $2.9 million in the Company’s statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022. No similar expense was recorded in the same period in 2020. Management reviewed the guidance per ASC 470-60 Troubled debt restructurings and ASC 470-50 Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments and concluded that the terms of the agreements were not substantially different as of June 30, 2021, and, accounted for the transaction as a debt extinguishment.

Equity Purchase Agreement

In May 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “EPL”) and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Peak One”), pursuant to which the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct Peak One to purchase up to $10.0 million (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) in shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) in multiple tranches. The Company has directed Peak One, on ten occasions, for an aggregate of 3.7 million shares of Common Stock for aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $0.4 million.

August 2021 Notes

In August 2021, the Company issued Note Purchase Agreements with Autotelic Inc., the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and certain other accredited investors. Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreements, the Company issued an aggregate of $698,500 (the “Principal Amount”) in debt in the form of unsecured convertible promissory notes (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes are unsecured and provide for interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Such Notes were issued against some of the short-term debt due as of June 30, 2021. All amounts outstanding under the Notes become due and payable at such time as determined by the holders of a majority of the Principal Amount of the Notes (the “Majority Holders”), on or after (a) the one-year anniversary of the Notes, or (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreements) (the “Maturity Date”). The Company may prepay the Notes at any time.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oncotelic, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Oncotelic Inc. and PointR, and Edgepoint our non-controlled interest entity. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net accumulated losses of approximately $35.9 million since inception of Oncotelic Inc., as the Company’s historical financial statements before the Merger have been replaced with the historical financial statements of Oncotelic Inc. The Company also has a negative working capital of approximately $16.7 million at March 31, 2022, of which approximately $2.6 million contingent liability of issuance of common shares of the Company to PointR shareholders upon achievement of certain milestones in accordance with the PointR Merger Agreement. The Company has negative cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of approximately $1.0 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of this filing. Management expects to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future and recognizes the need to raise capital to remain viable. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s long-term plans include continued development of its current pipeline of products, in addition to continue the development of OT-101 which is now the product of the JV, to generate sufficient revenues, through either technology transfer or product sales, to cover its anticipated expenses. Until the Company is able to generate sufficient revenues from its current pipeline, the Company plans on funding its operations through the sale of equity and/or the issuance of debt, combined with or without warrants or other equity instruments.

Although no assurances can be given as to the Company’s ability to deliver on its revenue plans, or that unforeseen expenses may arise, management believes that the potential equity and debt financing or other potential financing will provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern. Also, management cannot guarantee any potential debt or equity financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. As such, management does not believe the Company has sufficient cash for 12 months from the date of this report. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company will need to curtail operations, or cease operations completely.
