Business and Basis of Presentation

Note 1: Business and Basis of Presentation

AIM ImmunoTech Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “AIM”, “the Company”,) are an immuno-pharma company headquartered in Ocala, Florida, and focused on the research and development of therapeutics to treat multiple types of cancers, viral diseases and immune-deficiency disorders. The Company has established a strong foundation of laboratory, pre-clinical and clinical data with respect to the development of nucleic acids and natural interferon to enhance the natural antiviral defense system of the human body, and to aid the development of therapeutic products for the treatment of certain cancers and chronic diseases.

Our flagship products are Ampligen® (rintatolimod), a first-in-class drug of large macromolecular RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecules, and Alferon N Injection® (Interferon alfa-n3). Ampligen has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or marketed in the United States. Ampligen is approved for commercial sale in the Argentine Republic for the treatment of severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (“CFS”).

Our primary present business focus involves Ampligen. Ampligen represents a double-stranded RNA being developed for globally important cancers, viral diseases and disorders of the immune system.

The Company is currently proceeding primarily in four areas:

● A randomized controlled study to evaluate efficacy and safety of Ampligen compared to a control group to treat locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients.

● Evaluate Ampligen in other cancers, as a potential therapy that modifies the tumor microenvironment with the goal of increasing anti-tumor responses to check point inhibitors and other immuno oncology therapies.

● Exploring Ampligen’s antiviral activities and potential use as a prophylactic or early onset treatment for existing viruses, new viruses and mutated viruses thereof.

● Ampligen as a treatment for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (“ME/CFS”) and fatigue and/or Post-COVID conditions of fatigue.

The Company is prioritizing activities in an order related to the stage of development, with those clinical activities in oncology, ME/CFS and Post-COVID conditions having priority over antiviral experimentation. The Company intends that priority clinical work be conducted in trials authorized by the FDA or European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), which trials support commercial development. However, AIM’s antiviral experimentation is designed to accumulate additional preliminary data supporting their hypothesis that Ampligen is a powerful, broad-spectrum prophylaxis and early-onset therapeutic that may confer enhanced immunity and cross-protection. Accordingly, AIM will conduct antiviral programs in those venues most readily available including foreign venues and able to generate valid proof-of-concept data,.

In May 2021, AIM exercised the option to re-purchase the New Brunswick manufacturing facility, pursuant to the terms of the March 2018 sale and lease-back agreement. The Company thereafter sold certain equipment and machinery that it determined to be obsolete and no longer needed for current or future manufacturing. On March 3, 2022, AIM entered into an Agreement of Sale and Purchase with Acellories, Inc. to purchase the property for an estimated $3.9 million, with AIM’s intention to keep some space specifically for its Alferon activity. The sale closed on November 1, 2022 for $3.7 million net of normal closing cost.

AIM’s business plan requires one or more Contract Manufacturing Organizations (“CMO”) to produce Ampligen API. This includes utilizing Polysciences Inc. (“Polysciences”) for the manufacture of our Poly I and Poly C12U polynucleotides and associated test methods. While AIM believes it has sufficient Ampligen API to meet current needs, it is also continually exploring new efficiencies so as to maximize its ability to fulfill future obligations.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are presented as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and do not contain certain information which will be included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure (“GAAP”) of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences may be material. Accounts requiring the use of significant estimates include determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities, valuation of deferred taxes, patent and trademark valuations, stock-based compensation calculations, building valuation, fair value of warrants, and contingency accruals.
