CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”), including this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, regarding future events and the future results of the Company that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industry in which the Company operates and the beliefs and assumptions of the management of the Company. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this Report, including under “Risk Factors”, and in other reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on July 9, 2021 (under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other parts of that report). The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as otherwise required by law.

The following discussion is based upon our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report, and in other reports we file with the SEC, and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. All references to years relate to the calendar year ended December 31 of the particular year.

Summary Risk Factors

We face risks and uncertainties related to our business, many of which are beyond our control. In particular, risks associated with our business include:

●

We are a clinical stage biotechnology company that has no revenue to date, and we do not anticipate generating revenue for the near future;

●

Our need for additional financing, both near term and long term, to support our operations, our ability to raise such financing as needed, the terms of such financing, if available, potential significant dilution associated therewith, and covenants and restrictions we may need to comply with in connection with such funding;

●

Restrictions on our ability to issue securities, anti-dilution and most favored nation rights provided in connection therewith;

●

Our dependence on the success of our future product candidates, some of which may not receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized; problems in our manufacturing process for our new products and/or our failure to comply with manufacturing regulations, or unexpected increases in our manufacturing costs; problems with distribution of our products; and failure to adequately market our products;

●

Risks associated with the growth of our business, our ability to maintain such growth, difficulties in managing our growth, and executing our growth strategy;

●

Liability for previously restated financial statements and associated with ineffective controls and procedures;

●

Our dependence on our key personnel and our ability to attract and retain employees;

●

Risks from intense competition from companies with greater resources and experience than we have;

●

Risks that our future product candidates, if approved, may be unable to achieve the expected market acceptance and, consequently, limit our ability to generate revenue from new products;

●

The fact that the majority of our license agreements provide the licensors and/or counter-parties the right to use and/or exploit such licensed intellectual property;

●

Preclinical studies and earlier clinical trials may not necessarily be predictive of future results and may not have favorable results; we have limited marketing experience, and our future ability to successfully commercialize any of our product candidates, even if they are approved in the future is unknown; and business interruptions could delay us in the process of developing our future product candidates and could disrupt our product sales;

●

Third-party payors may not provide coverage and adequate reimbursement levels for any future products;

●

Liability from lawsuits (including product liability lawsuits, stockholder lawsuits and regulatory matters), including judgments, damages, fines and penalties;

●

Security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions which could prevent us from accessing critical information or expose us to liabilities or damages;

●

Risks associated with clinical trials that are expensive, time-consuming, uncertain and susceptible to change, delay or termination and which are open to differing interpretations;

●

Our ability to comply with existing and future rules and regulations, including federal, state and foreign healthcare laws and regulations and implementation of, or changes to, such healthcare laws and regulations;

●

Delays in the trials, testing, application, or approval process for drug candidates and/or our ability to obtain approval for promising drug candidates, and the costs associated therewith;

●

Our ability to adequately protect our future product candidates or our proprietary technology in the marketplace, claims and liability from third parties regarding our alleged infringement of their intellectual property;

●

Differences in laws and regulations between countries and other jurisdictions;

●

Changes in laws or regulations, including, but not limited to tax laws and controlled substance laws, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations;

●

Conflicts of interest between our officers, directors, consultants and scientists;

●

Penalties associated with our failure to comply with certain pre-agreed contractual obligations and restrictions;

●

Dilution caused by future fund raising, the conversion/exercise of outstanding convertible securities, and downward pressure on the value of our securities caused by such future issuances/sales;

●

Negative effects on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic and other potential future pandemics;

●

The extremely volatile nature of our securities and potential lack of liquidity therefore;

●

The fact that our Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of officers and directors, limits the liability of officers and directors, allows for the authorization of preferred stock without stockholder approval, and includes certain anti-takeover provisions;

iii

●

Our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock and warrants on The NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) and the costs of compliance with SEC and NASDAQ rules and requirements;

●

Risks associated with our status as an emerging growth company and the provisions of the JOBS Act, which we are able to take advantage of, due to such status;

●

Risks associated with material weaknesses that we have identified in our disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting;

●

Failure of our information technology systems, including cybersecurity attacks or other data security incidents, that could significantly disrupt the operation of our business;

●

The fact that we may acquire other companies which could divert our management’s attention, result in additional dilution to our stockholders and otherwise disrupt our operations and harm our operating results and if we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business;

●

The fact that we may apply working capital and future funding to uses that ultimately do not improve our operating results or increase the value of our securities; and

●

Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties.

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

180 Life Sciences Corp., formerly known as KBL Merger Corp. IV (“180LS”, or together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), was a blank check company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 7, 2016. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

180 Life Corp. (“180”, f/k/a 180 Life Sciences Corp. and CannBioRx Life Sciences Corp.) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 28, 2019. The Company is located in the United States (“U.S.”) and is a medical pharmaceutical company focused upon unmet medical needs in the areas of inflammatory diseases, fibrosis, and chronic pain by employing innovative research and, where appropriate, combination therapies, through 180’s three wholly-owned subsidiaries, 180 Therapeutics L.P. (“180 LP”), CannBioRex Pharmaceuticals Corp. (“CBR Pharma”), and Katexco Pharmaceuticals Corp. (“Katexco”). 180 LP, CBR Pharma and Katexco are together, the “180 Subsidiaries.” Katexco was incorporated on March 7, 2018 under the provisions of the British Corporation Act of British Columbia. Additionally, 180’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Katexco Callco, ULC, Katexco Purchaseco, ULC, CannBioRex Callco, ULC, and CannBioRex Purchaseco, ULC were formed in the Canadian Province of British Columbia on May 31, 2019 to facilitate the acquisition of Katexco, CBR Pharma and 180 LP.

180 LP is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of biologic therapies for the treatment of fibrosis. CBR Pharma is a pharmaceutical research company specializing in the clinical development of synthetic pharmaceutical grade cannabinoid compounds for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and related arthritic diseases. Katexco is a medical pharmaceutical company researching and developing orally available therapies harnessing nicotinic receptors to treat inflammatory diseases.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

The Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred significant losses since inception. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $16,198,585 and used $6,330,045 of cash in operations. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $64,556,223 and a working capital deficit of $25,324,166. The Company expects to invest a significant amount of capital to fund research and development. As a result, the Company expects that its operating expenses will increase significantly, and consequently will require significant revenues to become profitable. Even if the Company does become profitable, it may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. The Company cannot predict when, if ever, it will be profitable. There can be no assurance that the intellectual property of the Company, or other technologies it may acquire, will meet applicable regulatory standards, obtain required regulatory approvals, be capable of being produced in commercial quantities at reasonable costs, or be successfully marketed. The Company plans to undertake additional laboratory studies with respect to the intellectual property, and there can be no assurance that the results from such studies or trials will result in a commercially viable product or will not identify unwanted side effects.

A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to access capital, on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Management continues to monitor the developments and has taken active measures to protect the health of the Company’s employees, their families and the Company’s communities. The ultimate impact will depend heavily on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and public health responses, the efficacy of vaccines, the availability thereof, and the willingness of individuals to receive such vaccines, as well as the substance and pace of macroeconomic recovery, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the continuing evolving landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic and the public health responses to contain it.

Management has evaluated, and will continue to evaluate, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position or results of its operations, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. To date, only the follow-up time for patient data for the Phase 2b Dupuytren’s disease clinical trial has been delayed as a result of COVID-19, but such follow-up is now completed. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption of a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue its operations is dependent upon obtaining new financing for its ongoing operations. Future financing options available to the Company include equity financings and loans and if the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing timely, or on favorable terms, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations, and it could ultimately be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is defined as within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Realization of the Company’s assets may be substantially different from the carrying amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may become necessary, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as set forth in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, except as disclosed in this note.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2021, and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2021 or any other period. For additional information, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements of and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 9, 2021.

On November 6, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated a business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which, among other things, a subsidiary of the Company merged with and into 180, with 180 continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”, and the Company prior to the Merger sometimes referred to herein as “KBL”). The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, and 180 is deemed to be the accounting acquirer. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements prior to the Business Combination are those of 180 Life Corp. and its subsidiaries. The preferred stock, common stock, additional paid in capital and earnings per share amount in these consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the Business Combination have been restated to reflect the recapitalization in accordance with the shares issued to the shareholders of the former parent, 180 Life Corp. as a result of the Business Combination.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the historical accounts of 180 Life Corp. as accounting acquirer along with its wholly owned subsidiaries, and, effective with the closing of the Business Combination, 180LS as the accounting acquiree. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of certain subsidiaries is the Canadian Dollar (“CAD”) or British Pound (“GBP”). Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rates at the balance sheet date (0.7941 and 0.7056 for the CAD, 1.3766 and 1.2373 for the GBP, each as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively), while expense accounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period (0.7896 and 0.7455 for the CAD and 1.3784 and 1.2805 for the GBP for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively). Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of an entity from all sources other than investments by owners or distributions to owners and includes foreign currency translation adjustments as described above. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded other comprehensive gain (loss) of $189,348 and ($1,844,205), respectively, as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments.

Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including intercompany transactions, are included in results of operations. The Company recorded $11,148 and $5,334 of foreign currency transaction gains for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Such amounts have been classified within general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the common share equivalents had been issued (computed using the treasury stock or if converted method), if dilutive.

The following common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

	March 31,
	2021		2020
Options		1,630,000		-
Warrants		8,628,908		-
Convertible debt ^(a)		100,361		888,187
Total		10,359,269		888,187

(a)	Represents shares issuable upon conversion of debt at variable conversion prices, which were calculated using the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the respective balance sheet date.

Warrant, Option and Convertible Instrument Valuation

The Company has computed the fair value of warrants, options, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock issued using the Monte-Carlo and Black-Scholes option pricing models. The expected term used for warrants, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock are the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” option grants. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before these financial statements were issued. Based upon that evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 12, Subsequent Events.

Reclassification

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of Level 3 derivative liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
	Warrants		Convertible Notes			Total
Beginning balance as of January 1, 2021	$	4,217,170	$	225,800		$	4,442,970
Extinguishment of derivative liabilities in connection with conversion of debt		-		(591,203	)		(591,203	)
Warrants issued in private offering		7,294,836		-			7,294,836
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities		12,573,904		665,404			13,229,308
Ending balance as of March 31, 2021	$	24,085,910	$	290,001		$	24,375,911

The fair value of the derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2021 was estimated using the Monte-Carlo and Black Scholes option price models, with the following assumptions used:

		For the Three Months Ended
		March 31, 2021
Risk-free interest rate		0.00% - 0.92%
Expected term (years)		0.02 – 4.90
Expected volatility		85% - 192%
Expected dividends		0%

Between January 15, 2021 and February 5, 2021, the fair value of derivative liabilities extinguished in connection with the conversion of debt were estimated using the Monte-Carlo and Black Scholes option price models with the following assumptions used:

		January 15, 2021 to
		February 5, 2021
Risk-free interest rate		0.00% - 0.14%
Expected term (years)		0.02 - 0.18
Expected volatility		120% - 161%
Expected dividends		0%

AGP Warrants

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination on November 6, 2020, the Company became obligated to assume five-year warrants for the purchase of 63,658 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.28 per share (the “AGP Warrant Liability”) that had originally been issued by KBL to an investment banking firm in connection with a prior private placement.

On March 12, 2021, the Company issued a warrant to AGP (the “AGP Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 63,658 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $5.28 per share, subject to adjustment, in full satisfaction of the AGP Warrant Liability. The purchase of shares pursuant to the AGP Warrant is limited at any given time not to exceed a beneficial ownership of 4.99% of the then total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The AGP Warrant is exercisable at any time between May 2, 2021 and May 2, 2025. The newly issued AGP Warrant did not meet the requirements for equity classification due to the existence of a tender offer provision that could potentially result in cash settlement of the AGP Warrant that did not meet the limited exception in the case of a change-in-control. Accordingly, the AGP Warrant will continue to be liability-classified. The AGP Warrant was revalued on March 31, 2021 at $403,332 which resulted in a $237,436 increase in the fair value of the derivative liabilities.

Warrants Issued in Private Offering

On February 23, 2021, the Company issued five-year warrants (the “PIPE Warrants”) to purchase 2,564,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share in connection with the private offering (see Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity – Common Stock). The PIPE Warrants did not meet the requirements for equity classification due to the existence of a tender offer provision that could potentially result in cash settlement of the PIPE Warrants that didn’t meet the limited exception in the case of a change-in-control. Accordingly, the Company reclassified the $7,294,836 fair value of the PIPE Warrants, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, from additional paid-in-capital to derivative liabilities. The PIPE Warrants were revalued on March 31, 2021 at $11,876,704 which resulted in a $4,581,868 change in the fair value of derivative liabilities. The following assumptions were used to value the PIPE Warrants at issuance:

		February 23, 2021
Risk-free interest rate		0.59%
Expected term (years)		5.00
Expected volatility		85.0%
Expected dividends		0.0%

Potential Legal Matters

Action against former executives of KBL

The Company may initiate legal action against former executives of KBL for non-disclosure in the KBL original June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the matters disclosed in Note 14 (as restated) of the September 30, 2020 financial statements in the amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on February 5, 2021. If such legal action is initiated, the Company would seek damages to cover, at a minimum, the unrecorded and contingent liability obligations and legal fees. There can be no assurance that, if such legal action is initiated, the Company will be successful in its legal actions.

Action against Tyche Capital LLC

The Company has initiated legal action against Tyche Capital LLC (“Tyche”) for breaching its obligations under a term sheet entered into between KBL, KBL IV Sponsor, LLC, 180 and Tyche on April 10, 2019 and for breaching its obligations under the Guarantee and Commitment Agreement entered into between KBL and Tyche on July 25, 2019. The Company is seeking damages to bring the net tangible asset balance of KBL as of November 6, 2020, the closing date of the Business Combination, to $5,000,001. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its legal actions.

On May 17, 2021, Tyche filed a counterclaim against the Company alleging that it was the Company, rather than Tyche, that had breached the Guarantee and Commitment Agreement entered into between KBL and Tyche on July 25, 2019. Tyche also filed a complaint against six third-party defendants, including three members of the Company’s management, Sir Marc Feldman, Dr. James Woody, and Ozan Pamir, claiming that they allegedly breached fiduciary duties to Tyche with regards to the Guarantee and Commitment Agreement. The Company denies all of such claims, as do the three individual members of the Company’s management, and will vigorously defend against all of Tyche’s claims.

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. Breach of Contract

On February 27, 2018, KBL entered into a service contract with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“CF&CO”) whereby CF&CO would receive a transaction fee in cash arising out of any contemplated business combination by the Company. On July 25, 2019, KBL entered into the Business Combination Agreement whereby CF&CO became entitled to a transaction fee of $1,500,000 (the “Transaction Fee”). On November 6, 2020, the Company and CF&CO entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby CF&CO agreed to release the Company from the obligation to pay the Transaction Fee in cash and to instead accept 150,000 fully paid shares of the Company’s common stock, but only if the Company would take all necessary action to permit the sale of the Shares by filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a shelf registration statement within 30 days following the closing of the merger. On November 6, 2020, the Company closed the merger and in breach of the Settlement Agreement, did not file a registration statement with the SEC within 30 days of the November 6, 2020 closing, due to the need to restate the previously filed KBL financial statements.

In April 2021, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) filed a complaint against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (Index No. 652709/2021), alleging causes of action against the Company relating to the claimed breach of a fee agreement between the parties from February 2018 which required the Company to pay Cantor a transaction fee in cash in the event the Company completed a business transaction, as well as the alleged breach of a settlement agreement subsequently entered into with Cantor as described above. The complaint seeks $1,500,000 in damages, pre-and-post judgment interest and attorneys’ fees.

On April 4, 2021, the Company received a court summons in connection with the alleged breach of the settlement agreement pursuant to which Cantor is currently pursuing litigation. The Company plans to file a response with the court pursuant to an extension that was granted to file an answer. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the allegations, and the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against the litigation. Further, the Company believes that it has counterclaims against Cantor and plans to plead such counterclaims in defense of claims raised. The outcome of the matter is currently unknown. The Company is in discussions with Cantor regarding the registration of the 150,000 shares that have been issued to Cantor and hopes to resolve this dispute by registering the shares that have been issued to Cantor, of which there is no assurance.

Convertible Promissory Note

The holder of the Alpha Convertible Note has alleged that the default event described in Note 9, Convertible Notes Payable, also applies to $300,000 of principal that was converted on February 4, 2021, which would result in an additional increase to the settlement amount of the Alpha Convertible Note. The Company is in discussions with the noteholder regarding this dispute.

Operating Leases

The Company leased office space in London, UK through an operating lease agreement, which was terminated pursuant to the terms of the lease in August 2020. Total operating lease expenses were $0 and $17,397 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and is recorded in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Consulting Agreement

On February 22, 2021, the Company entered into a consultancy agreement (as amended, the “Consulting Agreement”) with a related party (the “Consultant”). The Consulting Agreement is effective December 1, 2020.

Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Consultant 15,000 British Pounds (GBP) per month (approximately $20,800) during the term of the agreement, increasing to 23,000 GBP per month (approximately $32,000) on the date (a) of publication of the data from the phase 2b clinical trial for Dupuytren’s disease (RIDD) and (b) the date that the Company has successfully raised over $15 million in capital. The Company also agreed to pay the Consultant the following bonus amounts:

●

The sum of £100,000 (approximately $138,000) upon submission of the Dupuytren’s disease clinical trial data for publication in a peer-reviewed journal (“Bonus 1”);

●

The sum of £434,673 GBP (approximately $605,000) (“Bonus 2”), which is earned and payable upon the Company raising a minimum of $15 million in additional funding, through the sale of debt or equity, after December 1, 2020 (the “Vesting Date”). Bonus 2 is payable within 30 days of the Vesting Date and shall be and shall not be accrued, due or payable prior to the Vesting Date. Bonus 2 is payable, at the election of the Consultant, at least 50% (fifty percent) in shares of the Company’s common stock, at the lower of (i) $3.00 per share, or (ii) the trading price on the date of the grant, with the remainder paid in GBP.

●

The sum of £5,000 (approximately $7,000) on enrollment of the first patient to the phase 2 frozen shoulder trial (“Bonus 3”); and

●

The sum of £5,000 (approximately $7,000) for enrollment of the first patient to the phase 2 delirium/POCD trial (“Bonus 4”).

The Consulting Agreement has an initial term of three years, and renews thereafter for additional three-year terms, until terminated as provided in the agreement.

The agreement also expires automatically at the end of the initial term or any renewal term if either party provides notice of non-renewal as discussed above.

NOTE 10 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

Sale of Common Stock in Private Offering

On February 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 2,564,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,564,000 shares of common stock (the “PIPE Warrants”), at a combined purchase price of $4.55 per share and PIPE Warrant (the “Private Offering”). The Private Offering closed on February 23, 2021. Aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Offering were approximately $11.7 million. Net proceeds to the Company from the Private Offering, after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were $10.7 million. The placement agent fees and offering expenses were accounted for as a reduction of additional paid in capital.

The PIPE Warrants have an exercise price equal to $5.00 per share, are immediately exercisable and are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits or dividends or other similar transactions. However, the exercise price of the PIPE Warrants will not be subject to adjustment as a result of subsequent equity issuances at effective prices lower than the then-current exercise price. The PIPE Warrants are exercisable for 5 years following the closing date. The PIPE Warrants are subject to a provision prohibiting the exercise of such Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the holder of such Warrant (together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (which may be increased to 9.99% on a holder by holder basis, with 61 days prior written consent of the applicable holder). The PIPE Warrants were determined to be liability-classified (see Note 6 – Derivative Liabilities – Warrants Issued in Private Offering). Of the $968,930 of placement agent fees and offering expenses, $364,812 was allocated to the common stock and $604,118 was allocated to the warrant liabilities. Because the PIPE Warrants are liability classified, the $604,118 allocated to the warrants was immediately expensed.

In connection with the Private Offering, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2021, with the Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or prior to April 24, 2021 to register the resale of the Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective on or prior to June 23, 2021 (or, in the event of a “full review” by the SEC, August 22, 2021). The Company is currently in default of the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement as the registration statement to register the Shares and Warrant Shares was not filed by April 24, 2021. As a result of this default, the Company is required to pay damages to the Purchasers in the aggregate amount of $174,993 each month, up to a maximum of $583,310, beginning on April 24, 2021 and until such date that the registration statement is filed with the SEC.

The options had a grant date fair value of $5,280,632, which will be recognized over the vesting term.

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation method were as follows:

		For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Risk free interest rate		0.75%

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the “MD&A”) is provided in addition to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. MD&A is organized as follows:

●

Business Overview and Recent Events. A summary of the Company’s business and certain recent events;

●

Significant Financial Statement Components. A summary of the Company’s significant financial statement components;

●

Consolidated Results of Operations. An analysis of our financial results comparing the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020;

Business Overview and Recent Events

On November 6, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the previously announced Business Combination was consummated following a special meeting of stockholders, where the stockholders of KBL considered and approved, among other matters, a proposal to adopt the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, KBL Merger Sub, Inc. merged with 180 Life Corp (f/k/a 180 Life Sciences Corp.), with 180 continuing as the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of KBL. As part of the Business Combination, KBL issued 17,500,000 shares of common stock and equivalents to the stockholders of 180, in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of 180. The Business Combination became effective November 6, 2020 and 180 filed a Certificate of Amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation in Delaware to change its name to 180 Life Corp., and KBL changed its name to 180 Life Sciences Corp.

This MD&A and the related financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included herein includes the combined operations of KBL and 180 because the results are combined after the Closing Date.

This MD&A and the related financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 includes the combined operations of 180 and its three operating entities, but does not include KBL because this period precedes the Business Combination.

Following the Closing of the Business Combination, we transitioned our operations to those of 180, which is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company headquartered in Menlo Park, California, focused on the development of therapeutics for unmet medical needs in chronic pain, inflammation, fibrosis and other inflammatory diseases, where anti-TNF therapy will provide a clear benefit to patients, by employing innovative research, and, where appropriate, combination therapy. We have three product development platforms:

●

fibrosis and anti-tumor necrosis factor (“TNF”);

●

drugs which are derivatives of cannabidiol (“CBD”); and

●

alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (“α7nAChR”).

We have several future product candidates in development, including one product candidate in a Phase 2b/3 clinical trial in the United Kingdom for Dupuytren’s disease, a condition that affects the development of fibrous connective tissue in the palm of the hand. 180 was founded by several world-leading scientists in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors.

We intend to invest resources to successfully complete the clinical programs that are underway, discover new drug candidates, and develop new molecules to build our existing pipeline with the goal of addressing unmet clinical needs. The product candidates are designed via a platform comprised of defined unit operations and technologies. This work is performed in a research and development environment that evaluates and assesses variability in each step of the process in order to define the most reliable production conditions.

We may rely on third-party contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) and other third parties for the manufacturing and processing of our product candidates in the future, to the extent we determine to move forward with the manufacturing of such candidates, and subject to applicable approvals. We believe the use of contract manufacturing and testing for the first clinical product candidates is cost-effective and has allowed us to rapidly prepare for clinical trials in accordance with our development plans. We expect that third-party manufacturers will be capable of providing and processing sufficient quantities of these product candidates to meet anticipated clinical trial demands.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the infectious disease known as COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” on January 30, 2020 and a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic and the public health responses to contain it have resulted in global recessionary conditions, which did not exist at December 31, 2019. Among other effects, government-mandated closures, stay-at-home orders and other related measures have significantly impacted global economic activity and business investment in general. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, and on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have been closely monitoring the developments and have taken active measures to protect the health of our employees, their families, and our communities. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on the 2021 fiscal year and beyond will depend heavily on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and public health responses, including government-mandated closures, stay-at-home orders, vaccine availability and efficacy and social distancing mandates, as well as the substance and pace of macroeconomic recovery, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape of the pandemic and the public health responses to contain it. As of March 31, 2021, only the follow-up time for patient data for the Phase 2b Dupuytren’s disease clinical trial has been delayed as a result of COVID-19, but such follow-up is now completed. However, COVID-19 may delay the initiation of certain clinical trials.

Close of Business Combination

As described above, on November 6, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced business combination The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization of 180. All of 180’s capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger was exchanged for (i) 15,736,348 shares of 180LS common stock, (ii) 2 shares of Class C and Class K Special Voting Shares exchangeable into 1,763,652 shares of 180LS common stock which are presented as outstanding in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity due to the reverse recapitalization. KBL’s 6,928,645 outstanding shares of common stock are presented as being issued on the date of the Business Combination.

Financing

On February 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a number of institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of 2,564,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,564,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “SPA Warrants”), at a combined purchase price of $4.55 per Share and accompanying SPA Warrant (the “Offering”). Aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering were approximately $11.7 million, prior to deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. Net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting the placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $10.8 million. The Offering closed on February 23, 2021.

Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering pursuant to an Engagement Letter between the Company and the Placement Agent dated January 26, 2021 (as amended on February 18, 2021). Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Placement Agent received a commission equal to seven percent (7%) of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering, or $816,634.

Conversion of Bridge Notes

Significant Financial Statement Components

Research and Development

To date, 180’s research and development expenses have related primarily to discovery efforts and preclinical and clinical development of its three product platforms: fibrosis and anti-TNF; drugs which are derivatives of CBD, and α7nAChR. Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with those three product platforms, which include:

expenses incurred under agreements with 180’s collaboration partners and third-party contract organizations, investigative clinical trial sites that conduct research and development activities on its behalf, and consultants;

●

costs related to production of clinical materials, including fees paid to contract manufacturers;

●

laboratory and vendor expenses related to the execution of preclinical and clinical trials;

●

employee-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation; and

●

facilities and other expenses, which include expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, depreciation and amortization expense and other supplies.

We expense all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. We accrue for costs incurred as services are provided by monitoring the status of each project and the invoices received from our external service providers. We adjust our accrual as actual costs become known. When contingent milestone payments are owed to third parties under research and development arrangements or license agreements, the milestone payment obligations are expensed when the milestone results are achieved.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect that research and development expenses will increase over the next several years as clinical programs progress and as we seek to initiate clinical trials of additional product candidates. It is also expected that increased research and development expenses will be incurred as additional product candidates are selectively identified and developed. However, it is difficult to determine with certainty the duration and completion costs of current or future preclinical programs and clinical trials of product candidates.

The duration, costs and timing of clinical trials and development of product candidates will depend on a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, the following:

●

per patient trial costs;

●

the number of patients that participate in the trials;

●

the number of sites included in the trials;

●

the countries in which the trials are conducted;

●

the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;

●

the number of doses that patients receive;

●

the drop-out or discontinuation rates of patients;

●

potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;

●

the duration of patient follow-up;

●

and the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidates.

In addition, the probability of success for each product candidate will depend on numerous factors, including competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. We will determine which programs to pursue and fund in response to the scientific and clinical success of each product candidate, as well as an assessment of each product candidate’s commercial potential.

Because the product candidates are still in clinical and preclinical development and the outcome of these efforts is uncertain, we cannot estimate the actual amounts necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization of product candidates or whether, or when, we may achieve profitability. Due to the early-stage nature of these programs, we do not track costs on a project-by-project basis. As these programs become more advanced, we intend to track the external and internal cost of each program.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other staff-related costs, including stock-based compensation for shares of common stock issued to founders and personnel in executive, commercial, finance, accounting, legal, investor relations, facilities, business development and human resources functions and include vesting conditions.

Other significant general and administrative costs include costs relating to facilities and overhead costs, legal fees relating to corporate and patent matters, insurance, investor relations costs, fees for accounting and consulting services, and other general and administrative costs. General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred, and we accrue amounts for services provided by third parties related to the above expenses by monitoring the status of services provided and receiving estimates from our service providers and adjusting our accruals as actual costs become known.

It is expected that the general and administrative expenses will increase over the next several years to support our continued research and development activities, manufacturing activities, potential commercialization of our product candidates and the increased costs of operating as a public company. These increases are anticipated to include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel, developing commercial infrastructure, fees to outside consultants, lawyers and accountants, and increased costs associated with being a public company, as well as expenses related to services associated with maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing rules and SEC requirements, insurance and investor relations costs.

Other Income

Other income primarily represents fees earned for research and development work performed for other companies, some of which are related parties.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to debt instruments.

Gain (Loss) on Extinguishment of Convertible Notes

Gain (loss) on extinguishment of convertible notes represents the shortfall (excess) of the reacquisition cost of convertible notes as compared to their carrying value.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities represents the non-cash change in fair value of derivative liabilities during the reporting period.

Offering Costs Allocated to Warrant Liabilities

Change in offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities represents placement agent fees and offering expenses which were allocated to the PIPE Warrants and expensed immediately as they are liability classified.

Change in Fair Value of Accrued Issuable Equity

Change in fair value of accrued issuable equity represents the non-cash change in fair value of accrued equity prior to its formal issuance.

Research and Development

We incurred research and development expenses of $99,899 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $472,862 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, representing a decrease of $372,963 or 79%. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $217,000 decrease in research and development expenses related to the temporary halting of drug discovery services in 2020 provided by Evotec International GmbH in connection with a research and development agreement until the Company raises additional capital, as well as approximately $158,000 of research tax credits earned during the first quarter of 2021.

Research and Development – Related Parties

We incurred research and development expenses – related parties of $267,053 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $30,605 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, representing an increase of $236,448 or 773%. The increase is primarily attributable to approximately $430,000 of fees and bonuses accrued in connection with a consulting agreement with a founder of 180 Therapeutics, LP that became effective on December 1, 2020 for research in connection with the Company’s product candidate for the treatment of Dupuytren’s disease, offset by approximately $190,000 of research tax credits earned during the first quarter of 2021.

General and Administrative

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $2,542,231 and $995,328 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing an increase of $1,546,903 or 155%. Increases of (i) approximately $283,000 in compensation expenses and approximately $248,000 insurance expense primarily resulting from expenses incurred by the acquired entity (180LS) and (ii) approximately $1,221,000 of stock-based compensation expense were partially offset by decreases of approximately $209,000 in professional fees and consulting expenses.

General and Administrative – Related Parties

We incurred general and administrative expenses – related parties of $39,120 and $68,067 respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing a decrease of $28,947 or 43%, resulting from an increase in related party consulting fees during the period.

Other Expenses, Net

We incurred other expenses, net of $13,255,686 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $819,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, representing an increase in other expenses of $12,436,186 or 1,518%. The increase was primarily attributable to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $13,229,308 and offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities of $604,118, partially offset by $723,764 of gains recognized related to the settlement of certain accounts payable and accrued expenses, and a decrease in the loss on extinguishment of convertible notes payable of $876,999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 we had cash balances of $6,052,862 and $2,108,544, respectively, and working capital deficits of $25,324,166 and $17,406,356, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, cash used in operating activities was $6,330,045 and $409,006, respectively. Our cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $16,198,585, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $15,169,872 as well as $5,301,332 of net cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Our cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $2,381,260, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $908,593, as well as $1,063,661 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, cash provided by financing activities was $10,362,538 and $333,364, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was due to $10,731,070 of net proceeds from our offering of common stock and warrants, partially offset by the repayment of loans in the amount of $368,532. The net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was comprised of $260,864 of proceeds from the issuance of debt instruments and $72,500 of proceeds from the issuance of equity instruments.

Our product candidates may never achieve commercialization and we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We expect that our research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures will continue to increase. As a result, until such time, if ever, as we are able to generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potentially collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, compensation and related expenses, third-party clinical research and development services, license payments or milestone obligations that may arise, laboratory and related supplies, clinical costs, potential manufacturing costs, legal and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs.

Further, our operating plans may change, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements for clinical trials and other research and development activities. We currently have no credit facility or committed sources of capital. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our product candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our current and anticipated product development programs.

We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. It is expected that our research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we expect to need to raise additional capital to fund our operations. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms. Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The conditions outlined above indicate that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statement issuance date.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Recent Funding Transactions

February 2021 Private Purchase

On February 19, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers identified on the signature pages thereto (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of 2,564,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,564,000 shares of common stock (the “SPA Warrants”), at a combined purchase price of $4.55 per Share and accompanying SPA Warrant (the “Offering”). Aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering were approximately $11.7 million, prior to deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. Net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $10.8 million. The Offering closed on February 23, 2021.

The SPA Warrants have an exercise price equal to $5.00, were immediately exercisable and are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits or dividends or other similar transactions. However, the exercise price of the SPA Warrants will not be subject to adjustment as a result of subsequent equity issuances at effective prices lower than the then-current exercise price. The SPA Warrants are exercisable until February 23, 2026. The SPA Warrants are subject to a provision prohibiting the exercise of such SPA Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the holder of such Warrant (together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding common stock (which may be increased to 9.99% on a holder by holder basis, with 61 days prior written consent of the applicable holder).

In connection with the Offering, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2021, with the Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or prior to April 24, 2021 to register the resale of the Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the SPA Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective on or prior to June 23, 2021 (or, in the event of a “full review” by the SEC, August 22, 2021). We are currently in default of the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement as we were unable to file the registration statement to register the Shares and Warrant Shares by April 24, 2021. As a result of this default, the Company is required to pay damages to the Purchasers in the aggregate amount of $174,993 each month, up to a maximum of $583,310, beginning on April 24, 2021 and until such date that the registration statement is filed with the SEC.

The Company agreed in the Purchase Agreement that, until the earlier of (1) thirty (30) days after the date on which the registration statement that is filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement to register the resale by the Purchasers of the Shares and the Warrant Shares is declared effective by the SEC (such date, the “Effective Date”) and (2) thirty (30) days after such date that the Shares may be sold without limitation pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, neither the Company nor any subsidiary thereof would (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock (or common stock equivalents) or (ii) file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, in each case other than (A) as contemplated pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and (B) as contemplated by that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated June 12, 2020, by and between the Company and the parties signatory thereto.

Each of the directors and executive officers of the Company has entered into a lock-up agreement with the Company in connection with the Offering (each, a “Lock-Up Agreement”). Under the Lock-Up Agreements, from the date of the lock-up agreements until the earlier of (x) sixty (60) days after the Effective Date and (y) November 6, 2021, the directors and executive officers will not offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the director or executive officer), directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to, any shares of common stock or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into, shares of common stock, subject to limited exceptions.

Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering pursuant to an Engagement Letter between the Company and the Placement Agent dated January 26, 2021 (together with the amendment letter dated February 18, 2021 (such amendment letter, the “Amendment Letter”), the “Engagement Letter”). The Engagement Letter provides, among other things, that the Placement Agent would receive a commission equal to seven percent (7%) of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering, which commission totaled $791,634.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

See Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our condensed consolidated financial statements included within this Quarterly Report for our critical accounting policies.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our consolidated financial statements included within our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a summary of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established and maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO)(principal executive officer) and Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) (principal accounting/financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures as of March 31, 2021.

Management’s conclusion was based on the following material weaknesses which existed as of December 31, 2020, and continued to exist at March 31, 2021, as discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K:

●

Financial Reporting Systems: The Company did not maintain a fully integrated financial consolidation and reporting system throughout the period and as a result, extensive manual analysis, reconciliation and adjustments were required in order to produce financial statements for external reporting purposes.

●

Segregation of Duties: The Company does not currently have a sufficient complement of technical accounting and external reporting personnel commensurate to support standalone external financial reporting under public company or SEC requirements. Specifically, the Company did not effectively segregate certain accounting duties due to the small size of its accounting staff and maintain a sufficient number of adequately trained personnel necessary to anticipate and identify risks critical to financial reporting and the closing process. In addition, there were inadequate reviews and approvals by the Company’s personnel of certain reconciliations and other processes in day-to-day operations due to the lack of a full complement of accounting staff.

●

Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

●

Ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes, which includes the proper valuation of fair value instruments.

A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a company with limited accounting resources, a significant amount of management’s time and attention has been and will be diverted from our business to ensure compliance with these regulatory requirements.

Remediation Plan

The Company has recently established an Audit Committee to provide oversight of remediation efforts. Management intends to take steps to develop and enhance its internal controls over financial reporting, including:

●

hiring additional accounting personnel;

●

engaging an advisory firm to lead the remediation and assessment of internal controls;

●

developing formal policies and procedures over accounting and reporting; and

●

identifying additional information technology to improve financial reporting.

Our management plans to establish procedures to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing necessary enhancements or improvements. Management expects to complete its assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting during 2021. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may be a party to litigation that arises in the ordinary course of its business. The impact and outcome of litigation, if any, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We believe the ultimate resolution of any such current proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on our continued financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Such current litigation or other legal proceedings are described in, and incorporated by reference in, this “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” of this Form 10-Q from, “Part I – Item 1. Financial Statements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Note 9 – Commitments and Contingences”, under the heading Potential Legal Matters. The Company believes that the resolution of currently pending matters will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, assessment of the current litigation or other legal claims could change in light of the discovery of facts not presently known to the Company or by judges, juries or other finders of fact, which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

Additionally, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the Company’s financial condition and operating results for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Commission on July 9, 2021, under the heading “Risk Factors”, which risk factors are incorporated by reference herein, and investors should review the risks provided in the Form 10-K, prior to making an investment in the Company. The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, under “Risk Factors”, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
