RENOVARO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Business On February 13, 2024, the Company changed its corporate name from Renovaro Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Inc. (“Renovaro”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “us”). In August 2023, the Company changed its corporate name from Enochian Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Biosciences Inc. The Company engages in the research and development of pharmaceutical and biological products for the treatment of cancer, HIV, and HBV with the intent to manufacture said products.

 

Going ConcernThese financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenue, has incurred substantial recurring losses from continuing operations and has an accumulated deficit of $257,733,402, and a working deficit of $11,355,216 as of December 31, 2023. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon (i) its ability to successfully obtain FDA approval of its product candidates, (ii) its ability to obtain any necessary debt and/or equity financing, and (iii) its ability to generate profits from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Basis of PresentationThe Company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and follows the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at December 31, 2023, and 2022 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s June 30, 2023, audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Consolidation For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Registrant and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates include the fair value and potential impairment of intangible assets, and the fair value of equity instruments issued.

 

Functional Currency & Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of Renovaro Denmark is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods ended December 31, 2023, and 2022. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had balances held in financial institutions in Denmark and in the United States in excess of federally insured amounts at December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023, of $91,387 and $1,526,990, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from four to ten years (see Note 4.)

 

Intangible AssetsThe Company has both definite and indefinite life intangible assets.

 

Definite life intangible assets include patents. The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Definite life intangible assets are recorded at cost. Patent costs consist of costs incurred to acquire the underlying patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining capitalized patent costs are charged to expense. Definite life intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of patents is twenty years from the date of application.

 

Indefinite life intangible assets include license agreements and goodwill. The Company accounts for indefinite life intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. License agreement costs represent the fair value of the license agreement on the date acquired and are tested annually for impairment, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

Goodwill – Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually as of June 30th of each fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets – We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. Our detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit and is based on discounted cash flows or relative market-based approaches. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we record an impairment loss for such excess. The annual fair value analysis performed on goodwill supported that goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2023, and no additional impairment is deemed necessary as of December 31, 2023 (see Note 5.)

 

For indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as licenses acquired as an IPR&D asset, on an annual basis we determine the fair value of the asset and record an impairment loss, if any, for the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the carrying value of the licenses acquired as an IPR&D asset exceeded its fair value. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $18,960,000 during the year ended June 30, 2023. No impairment was deemed necessary as of December 31, 2023 (see Note 5.)

 

The carrying value of IPR&D and goodwill at December 31, 2023, were $42,611,000 and $11,640,000, respectively.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsLong-lived assets, such as property and equipment, definite and indefinite life intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectations that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

 

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and would no longer be depreciated. The depreciable basis of assets that are impaired and continue in use are their respective fair values.

 

Leases – In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company determined the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter. The lease terms include any renewal options and termination options that the Company is reasonably assured to exercise, if applicable. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the implicit interest rate in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company develops an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the future payments.

 

Rent expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis, unless the operating lease right of use assets have been impaired, over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For operating leases that reflect impairment, the Company will recognize the amortization of the operating lease right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term with rent expense still included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company’s non-lease components are primarily related to property maintenance, insurance, and taxes, which vary based on future outcomes, and thus are recognized in general and administrative expenses when incurred (see Note 6.)

 

Research and Development Expenses – The Company expenses research and development costs incurred in formulating, improving, validating, and creating alternative or modified processes related to and expanding the use of the Oncology, HIV and HBV therapies and technologies for use in the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy for Oncology, HIV and HBV. Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, amounted to $620,521, and $1,187,165, respectively. Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, amounted to $325,959, and $2,931,334, respectively.

 

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Loss Per Share – The Company calculates earnings/ (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) are based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock. Potential shares of Common Stock included in the diluted earnings per share calculation include in-the-money stock options that have been granted but have not been exercised and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. Because of the net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the dilutive shares for both periods were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as the effect of these potential shares of Common Stock is anti-dilutive. The Company had 18,217,727 and 4,833,436 potential shares of Common Stock excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. There were no Level 1, 2, or 3 assets, nor any Level 1, 2, or 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, there was zero and $419,182 loss on extinguishment of the contingent consideration liability.

 

Stock Options and Restricted Share Units – The Company has granted stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and warrants. The Company accounts for stock-based awards in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to consultants and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and are recognized over the required service period, which is generally the vesting period. Stock based compensation costs for the vesting of options and RSUs granted for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 were $999,228 and $1,983,057, respectively. Stock based compensation costs for the vesting of options and RSUs granted for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 were $819,955 and $1,845,963, respectively (See Note 8.)

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB do not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred substantial recurring losses from continuing operations, has used cash in the Company’s continuing operations, and is dependent on additional financing to fund operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $4,529,121 and $13,704,149 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $243,980 and an accumulated deficit of $257,733,402 and a working capital deficit of $11,355,216. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

Management has reduced overhead and administrative costs by streamlining the organization to focus around two of its therapies (oncology and a HIV therapeutic vaccine). The Company has tailored its workforce to focus on these therapies. In addition, the Company intends to attempt to secure additional required funding through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any sources of funding. Such additional funding may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms, and, in the case of equity financing transactions, could result in significant additional dilution to our stockholders. If we do not obtain required additional equity or debt funding, our cash resources will be depleted and we could be required to materially reduce or suspend operations, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations, we could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that could result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us.

 

Funding that we may receive during the fiscal year 2024 is expected to be used to satisfy existing and future obligations and liabilities and working capital needs, to support commercialization of our products and conduct the clinical and regulatory work to develop our product candidates, and to begin building working capital reserves.

 

NOTE 3 — NOTES RECEIVABLE

 

On August 11, 2023, and August 18, 2023, the Company entered into two Promissory Notes (“Notes Receivable”) in the amounts of $550,000 and $500,000, respectively, to lend a total of $1.05 million to GEDi Cube Intl Ltd. (“Issuer”) to further develop the Issuer’s IP and technology. Pursuant to the Notes, the Issuer promised to pay the Company the outstanding principal and related accrued interest at a rate of 6% per annum on the maturity dates of February 11 and February 18, 2024. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, the Company accrued interest of $15,750 and $23,625, respectively. The balance of the Notes Receivable at December 31, 2023, was $1,073,625.

During February 2018, the Company acquired a License Agreement (as licensee) to an HIV therapy which consists of a perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and sole and exclusive worldwide license to research, develop, use, sell, have sold, make, have made, offer for sale, import and otherwise commercialize certain intellectual property in cellular therapies for the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy exclusively for HIV in humans, and research and development exclusively relating to HIV in humans. Because the HIV License Agreement is considered an IPR&D intangible asset it is classified as an indefinite life asset that is tested annually for impairment.

 

Impairment – Following the fourth quarter of each year, management performs its annual test of impairment of intangible assets by performing a quantitative assessment and determines if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is greater than or equal to the carrying value of the asset. The results of the quantitative assessment indicated that the carrying value of the license acquired as an IPR&D asset exceeded its fair value, due to the sublicensing of RENB-HV01, which required a different valuation approach and changes in other factors impacting the fair value of the asset as of June 30, 2023, which resulted in an impairment adjustment of $18,960,000. No impairment was deemed necessary as of December 31, 2023.

 

NOTE 6 — LEASES

 

Operating Leases On November 13, 2017, Renovaro entered into a Lease Agreement for a term of five years and two months from November 1, 2017, with Plaza Medical Office Building, LLC, a California limited liability company, as landlord, (the “Landlord”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease from the Landlord approximately 2,325 rentable square feet. The base rent increased by 3% each year and ranged from approximately $8,719 per month for the first year to $10,107 per month for the two months of the sixth year. The lease was terminated early without penalties or additional costs as of September 30, 2022, that released an accrual of $70,800 related to leasehold improvements that was not utilized.

 

On June 19, 2018, Renovaro entered into a Lease Agreement for a term of ten years from September 1, 2018, with Century City Medical Plaza Land Co., Inc., pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease approximately 2,453 rentable square feet. On February 20, 2019, Renovaro entered into an Addendum to the original Lease Agreement with an effective date of December 1, 2019, where it expanded the lease area to include another 1,101 square feet for a total rentable 3,554 square feet. The base rent increases by 3% each year, and ranges from $17,770 per month for the first year to $23,186 per month for the tenth year. The equalized monthly lease payment for the term of the lease is $20,050. Renovaro subleased the space as of June 25, 2022 through April 30, 2023. (See subsection below “Sublease Agreement” for details.)

 

The Company identified and assessed the following significant assumptions in recognizing the right-of-use asset and corresponding liabilities:

 

14

 

 

RENOVARO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Expected lease term — The expected lease term includes both contractual lease periods and, when applicable, cancelable option periods when it is reasonably certain that the Company would exercise such options. The Company’s lease has a remaining lease term of 44 months. As of December 31, 2023, the weighted-average remaining term is 3.67 years.

 

Incremental borrowing rate — The Company’s lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate. As the Company does not have any external borrowings for comparable terms of its leases, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate based on the U.S. Treasury Yield Curve rate that corresponds to the length of each lease. This rate is an estimate of what the Company would have to pay if borrowing on a collateralized basis over a similar term in an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. As of December 31, 2023, the weighted-average discount rate is 4.03%.

 

Lease and non-lease components — In certain cases the Company is required to pay for certain additional charges for operating costs, including insurance, maintenance, taxes, and other costs incurred, which are billed based on both usage and as a percentage of the Company’s share of total square footage. The Company determined that these costs are non-lease components, and they are not included in the calculation of the lease liabilities because they are variable. Payments for these variable, non-lease components are considered variable lease costs and are recognized in the period in which the costs are incurred.

 

Below are the lease commitments for the next 5 years:

 

       
Year Ending June 30th  Lease Expense
 2024    123,602 
 2025    253,384 
 2026    260,985 
 2027    268,815

 Sub-total     951,807 
 Less imputed interest    (69,504)
 Total   $882,303 

 

Sublease Agreement

 

On June 20, 2022, the Company entered into a sublease Agreement with One Health Labs (the “Subtenant”), whereby the Subtenant agreed to lease 3,554 square feet of space currently rented by the Company in Century City Medical Plaza as of June 25, 2022, for a period of 3.5 years with an option to renew for the remaining term of the lease that ends as of June 19, 2028. The base rent was $17,770 per month plus $750 towards utility fees that are part of the original lease agreement and would increase by 3% each year over the term of the sublease. The Company received a total of $57,022 on July 1, 2022 after execution of the sublease to cover the first month rent, utility fee and deposit. The first sublease payment began on August 1, 2022.

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company treated the sublease as a separate lease, as the Company was not relieved of the primary obligation under the original lease. The Company continues to account for the Century City Medical Plaza lease as a lessee and in the same manner as prior to the commencement date of the sublease. The Company accounted for the sublease as a lessor of the lease. The sublease was classified as an operating lease, as it did not meet the criteria of a sales-type or direct financing lease.

On April 18, 2023, the Company entered into a sublease termination agreement with the Subtenant, whereby the Subtenant and the Company agreed to terminate the sublease effective as of April 30, 2023. The Subtenant agreed to pay the Company $139,460 along with the security deposit of $35,540 for a total termination fee of $175,000, to permit early termination of the sublease.

 

The Company recognized operating income from the sublease on a straight-line basis in its statements of operations over the sublease term.

 

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the net operating lease expenses were as follows:

 

                    
   For the Three Months Ended  For the Six Months Ended
   December 31,  December 31,
   2023  2022  2023  2022

Lease expense charged to general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, amounted to $60,922 and $129,664, respectively. Lease expense charged to general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, amounted to $43,420 and $34,040, respectively. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, the Company paid $62,573 and $123,796 under operating leases, respectively. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company paid $96,581 and $241,042 under operating leases, respectively. The difference between the operating lease expense for the six months ended December 31, 2022 in the amount of $140,660 and the cash paid of $241,042, is primarily made up of the release of an accrual of $77,242 related to the termination of the Plaza Medical Office Building, LLC lease.

December 2023 Notes — Between December 1, 2023, and December 29, 2023, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements with two investors to purchase Convertible Promissory Notes for an aggregate principal amount of $560,000 (the “December Notes”). The Company received a total of $540,000 in gross proceeds from the private placement prior to the end of the quarter, and it subsequently received the pending $20,000 in January 2024. The December Notes bear an interest rate of 12% per annum and shall mature one year after their respective dates of issuance (the “Maturity Date”). The Company is required to pay interest quarterly, in arrears, in cash, on the first day of each quarter of each year following the Issue Date prior to the maturity of the December Notes. Notwithstanding the immediate foregoing, at the option of the Holder, interest may accrue on the December Notes on a quarterly basis. The December Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, after the Original Issue Date and prior to the Maturity Date, at a conversion price of $3.38 per share. The Company may prepay the December Notes at any time. The December Notes will be accounted for under ASC 470-20, and all proceeds received from the issuance will be recognized as a liability on the balance sheet. The December Notes principal balance at December 31, 2023, is $540,000.

The 2023 Notes — Between September 5, 2023, and October 5, 2023, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements with five investors to purchase 5% Original Issue Discount Convertible Promissory Notes (the “2023 Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of $2,105,263. The Company received a total of $2,000,000 in gross proceeds from the private placement, after taking into account the 5% original issue discount. The discount of $105,263 will be accreted over the life of the 2023 Notes. The 2023 Notes bear an interest rate of 12% per annum and shall mature on September 5, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company is required to pay interest quarterly, in arrears, in cash, on the first day of each quarter of each year following the Issue Date prior to the maturity of the 2023 Notes. Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing, at the option of the Holder, interest may accrue on the Notes on a quarterly basis. The 2023 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the occurrence of a Qualified Offering (as defined below) or upon the Maturity Date. The Company may prepay the 2023 Notes at any time.

 

The 2023 Notes are subject to mandatory conversion (“Mandatory Conversion”) in the event the Company closes an offering of its Common Stock and receives gross proceeds of not less than $10,000,000 (“Qualified Offering”). The conversion price per share of Common Stock in the case of a Mandatory Conversion shall be 95% of the offering price per share in the Qualified Offering, subject to a floor of $4.50 per share. In addition, if no Qualified Offering occurs prior to the Maturity Date, the 2023 Notes shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock on the Maturity Date at a conversion price per share equal to the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Maturity Date, subject to a floor of $4.50 per share.

On June 26, 2023, the Holder notified the Company that it wished to elect to exercise its conversion right triggered by a private placement. Therefore, all outstanding $1,200,000 Amended and Restated Secured Notes were converted into 2,264,150 shares of Common Stock and 1,132,075 warrants. There were no Amended and Restated Secured Notes outstanding after the foregoing conversion.

The Complaint alleges that the Defendants engaged in a “concerted, deliberate scheme to alter, falsify, and misrepresent to the Company the results of multiple studies supporting its Hepatitis B and SARS-CoV-2/influenza pipelines.” Specifically, “Defendants manipulated negative results to reflect positive outcomes from various studies, and even fabricated studies out of whole cloth.” As a result of the Defendants’ conduct, the Company claims that it “paid approximately $25 million to Defendants and third-parties that it would not otherwise have paid.” On April 21, 2023, defendants Wittekind, G Tech, SG & AW Holdings, LLC, and SRI filed a demurrer with respect to some, but not all, of the Company’s claims, as well as a motion to strike.

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as of the Closing Date, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding equity interests of GEDi Cube owned by the Sellers as of the Closing Date (each, a “GEDi Cube Share” and, collectively, the “GEDi Cube Shares”) in exchange for which each Seller was entitled to receive (i) as of the Closing Date, such Seller’s pro rata percentage of an aggregate of 70,834,183 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), which represents the 67,224,089 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date (minus (a) 1 million shares of Common Stock previously issued to a consultant assisting with the Transaction and (b) 1 million shares of Common Stock previously issued to Avram Miller, a director of the Company, pursuant to his Advisory Agreement, dated October 11, 2023, by and between Mr. Miller and the Company) (the “Closing Consideration”) plus 5,610,100 shares of Common Stock representing the Seller’s Earnout Shares (defined below) resulting from the automatic conversion of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred and, (ii) following the Closing Date, such Seller’s pro rata percentage of the shares of Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares” and, together with the Closing Consideration, the “Exchange Consideration”) to be issued to the Sellers upon the exercise or conversion of any of the Company’s derivative securities (subject to certain exceptions) that are outstanding at the Closing Date (the “Closing Derivative Securities”). Each Seller’s pro rata percentage of the Exchange Consideration is equal to the ratio of the aggregate number of GEDi Cube Shares owned by such Seller divided by the aggregate number of GEDi Cube Shares issued and outstanding, in each case, as of the Closing Date. No fractional shares of Common Stock were or will be issued in the Exchange Consideration, and no cash was or will be issued in exchange therefore. Any fractional share of Common Stock that a Seller would otherwise be entitled to receive is rounded down to the nearest whole share.

 

As discussed above, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, upon the closing of the Transaction, the Company issued 70,834,183 unregistered, restricted shares of Common Stock as the Closing Consideration to the Sellers, which shares were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the private offering exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and Regulation S under the Securities Act, as applicable. The Company made this determination based on its receipt from the Sellers of representations and warranties supporting the Company’s reliance on such exemptions.

 

As a result of the issuance of the Closing Consideration on the Closing Date and based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date, the Sellers hold approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the closing of the Transaction and the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

In connection with the closing of the Transaction, on February 13, 2024, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to change its corporate name from “Renovaro Biosciences Inc.” to “Renovaro Inc.”, effective immediately.

Our Business 

 

We are a biotechnology company committed to developing advanced allogeneic cell and gene therapies to promote stronger immune system responses potentially for long-term or life-long cancer remission in some of the deadliest cancers, and potentially to treat or cure serious infectious diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection.

 

Our Product Development strategy is anchored in the use of “non-self” or allogeneic cells that enhance the immune response that we seek to elicit.

 

Over the past several years, Renovaro has evolved from a company with a single product candidate as a potential cure for HIV (RENB-HV01), adding two additional pipeline candidates for HIV (RENB-HV12 and RENB-HV21), a pipeline for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) (RENB-HB01), and with a significant expansion into cancer immune therapies to address high unmet needs from difficult-to-treat solid tumors (RENB-DC11.)

 

The oncology platform is now at the forefront of our development activities, beginning with pancreatic cancer and other solid tumors with poor life expectancy, for example triple negative breast, second-line liver, head, neck, and oral among other possible targets.

 

Many operational aspects of our platforms can be quickly adapted to multiple disease states from a single therapeutic approach, potentially streamlining and accelerating development, and regulatory process, as well as manufacturing operations. Moreover, because our product candidates do not require specialized delivery devices and surgical procedures, our potentially groundbreaking interventions could have worldwide applicability.

 

The Company responds quickly to new data and perceived development opportunities and risk assessments. Based on the maturation of our pipelines, the Company makes business decisions to prioritize the programs that could move more rapidly through development and commercial processes.

Therapeutic Platforms

 

The Company’s general approach with gene- and/or cell-therapy is to train the immune system to allow a person to better fight diseases. Our vision is for a world free from toxic chemotherapy and healthy longevity for those with cancer and other diseases. The Company is leveraging general principles and advances in the knowledge of the immune response to engineer cells with enhanced attributes to promote the recognition and elimination of diseased cells.

 

Advanced Allogeneic Cell Therapy

 

The strategic benefit of cell therapy platforms is to potentially allow for manufacture of large, “off-the-shelf” banks of therapeutic cells that could be accessed on demand by health care professionals to potentially decrease the time between diagnosis and treatment.

 

In addition, because we focus on cells from donors, the strategy could potentially enhance the ability of the therapeutic candidates to induce a more robust response once injected into patients. The human immune system is designed to recognize and distinguish “self” from “non-self” and destroy “otherness” such as bacteria, viruses, and damaged or diseased cells such as cancer cells. Alloreactivity (reacting against another person’s cells) is the most powerful response the immune system generates. Several of our technologies take advantage of the alloreactivity to hyper stimulate a person’s immune response to better attack a chronic infection (e.g., HIV) or solid tumor.

 

In certain treatments (e.g., HIV and cancer), cells taken from healthy donors are sometimes genetically modified to introduce signaling molecules that are designed to enhance the ability of specific immune cells to recognize diseased cells, and to help recruit other cells that will destroy cancer or virus infected cells.

 

The Company believes that the combination of off-the-shelf allogeneic cells, combined with genetic modifications designed to enhance immune signaling, could potentially generate therapeutic candidates that have unique attributes that will increase the likelihood of success.

 

Cell Therapy enabling technology

 

In addition to the platform described above, Renovaro has an innovative gene therapy approach to enhance the selection and engraftment (uptake) of cells carrying therapeutic attributes. Enhanced uptake or engraftment could play a critical role in some cases to increase the likelihood of therapeutic benefit. This technology was initially developed for autologous cell therapy from a person living with HIV, and genetically modifying those cells so they cannot be infected with most variants of HIV, plus a gene modification to enhance uptake. We have sublicensed under a profit-sharing agreement our technology to potentially increase engraftment for use in CAR-T therapy as a potential cure for HIV.

 

HBV Gene Therapy

 

Renovaro Inc. is exploring various approaches for gene therapy design elements to potentially eliminate virus-infected cells with an innovative molecular mechanism that co-opts the virus’ machinery to induce the death of infected cells rather than reproducing and causing more infection to exacerbate disease.

RENB-DC11: Genetically modified Allogeneic Dendritic Cell Therapeutic Vaccine as Potential Product for Long-term Remission of Solid Tumors – Starting with Pancreatic Cancer

 

34

 

 

Allogeneic Cell Therapy Platform – Advanced Pre-Clinical

 

Based on learning from peer-reviewed publications of Phase I/IIa trials, we have designed an innovative therapeutic vaccination platform that could potentially be used to induce life-long remission from some of the deadliest solid tumors. The survival rate in pancreatic cancer is currently only 5 to 10 percent at 5 years.

 

Initial preclinical in vitro and proof of concept in vivo studies have been compelling. The platform might also allow for non-specific immune enhancement that could have impact against a broad array of solid tumors. We initially plan to target pancreatic cancer. Other potential targets for later development could include triple-negative breast cancer, liver or mesothelioma. As with HIV, our approach would potentially allow for outpatient therapy without wiping out or significantly impairing the patient’s immune system, as many current approaches require.

 

Renovaro Inc. has initiated a collaboration with Dr. Anahid Jewett from UCLA to study further the in vitro and in vivo effectiveness of the approach in pancreatic cancer. Dr. Jewett created an innovative pancreatic cancer mouse model that comprises the human immune system repertoire in combination with implanted human cancer cells. Multiple experiments in different humanized mouse models are consistently showing with only one cycle of therapy – in humans five to ten are likely - what Dr. Jewett calls “the Holy Grail of cancer research”:

 

  1. 80-90% substantial tumor size reduction (volume and weight)

 

  2. Remnant of tumor sack significantly infiltrated with effector immune cells indicating ongoing killing of cancer.

 

  3. Significant correlation with expected immune response important to fight cancer detected in blood, and

 

  4. No metastases

 

The confirming reproducibility and robustness of the therapeutic response in an aggressive form of human pancreatic cancer in several models is promising. We received FDA input from pre-IND interactions which helped solidify our IND-enabling plan as well as our investigational plan. We are now fully committed to process development/improvements and IND-enabling activities. We believe that we can complete IND-enabling activities in the second half of 2024 which if successful, would enable the start of clinical trials in humans during the second half of 2024. The investigational plan discussed with the FDA includes phase 1 safety testing broadly in all solid tumor types, followed by a phase 2a focusing on a few solid tumor types that are difficult to treat and have poor life expectancy, for example triple negative breast, second-line liver, head and neck cancers. Phase 2b would expand cohorts in cancers with the strongest response in phase 2a.

 

RENB-DC-12--XX: Genetically modified Allogeneic Dendritic Cell Therapeutic Vaccine as Potential Product for Long-term Remission of Additional Indications

 

The technology is a platform that could potentially be adapted to other solid tumors first line and/or salvage therapy, by itself or, potentially, in combination with other cancer treatments. Additional cancer vaccine designs are being evaluated strategically to balance risk and opportunity to advance therapeutic development quickly in cancer indications with few treatment options.

Allogeneic Cell Therapy Platform - Advanced Pre-Clinical Stage; Non-Human Primate Studies Ongoing.

 

In persons living with HIV who are controlling the spread of virus with anti-retroviral (ARV) treatment, boosting the immune system in a different way than the virus already has through infection, could allow for control of HIV after stopping ARVs.

 

Renovaro Inc. is developing RENB-HV12 that utilizes a novel cellular and immunotherapy approach that could potentially provide therapeutic vaccines for HIV. A non-human study of the therapeutic vaccine in primates at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is ongoing. Animals began receiving the first injections of the potential therapeutic vaccine in August, 2022. Preliminary results assessment may potentially be available in the second half of 2023. A Pre-IND request could be submitted in the second half of 2024, with IND submission and the beginning of Phase I clinical trials by mid- to end-2025.

 

RENB-HV01: Autologous Transplant with Genetically Modified Cells:

 

FDA INTERACT Meeting Held February 2020 - Advanced Pre-Clinical Stage

 

We have pioneered a novel enabling technology (ALDH gene modification) that we believe will allow sufficient engraftment of the CCR5 gene-modified Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC) to eliminate the need for Antiretroviral Treatment (ART.)

 

Management conducted a successful FDA INTERACT Meeting in alignment with the Company’s experimental plan. Although in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated promising results, further development of RENB-HV01 at this time was deemed costly and a long-term undertaking. While the Company plans to return to full development of the approach when resources are available, it has become less attractive and been deprioritized for business reasons, while pipelines that could move more quickly have been prioritized (e.g., RENB-DC11). Therefore, a business decision was made to sub-license the ALDH gene modification.

 

RENB-HV01 was sub-licensed to Caring Cross with a profit share arrangement. Caring Cross is developing a CAR-T approach that they believe, when combined with Renovaro ALDH gene modification, could enhance engraftment of their CAR-T cell therapy and enhance their likelihood of success.

 

RENB-HV21: Immunotherapy with Allogeneic NK/GDT Cells

 

Allogeneic Cell Therapy Platform - Pre-IND conducted - Advanced Pre-Clinical with Human Data through a Collaboration

 

We are also exploring RENB-HV21, an innovative treatment for HIV with allogeneic Natural Killer (NK) and Gamma Delta T-Cells (GDT). It is believed that the GDT cells, a small subset of immune cells that can be infected with HIV, could both be infected by, and be a key factor in controlling the virus. The initial scientific findings were presented during the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASCGT) Annual Meeting in 2021. Renovaro Inc. has an exclusive license to use the underlying patent to develop RENB-HV21 for potential treatment or cure of HIV. A successful investigator-initiated Pre-IND was completed in October 2021. However, due to a shift in priorities to the Oncology pipeline, Renovaro does not plan to pursue the IND and potential clinical trial in the medium- to long-term.

HBV:

 

RENB-HB01: Potential Cure for HBV

 

HBV Gene Therapy - Pre-Clinical

 

RENB-HB01 is in an early pre-clinical phase as we explore various approaches for gene therapy design elements. If those explorations are successful, it is possible we could begin the regulatory process at the earliest in the second half of 2024. However, our highest priority is currently the oncology platform, beginning with pancreatic cancer and other solid tumors with poor life expectancy.

 

Corporate History

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 18, 2011, under the name Putnam Hills Corp. and in 2014 we merged with and changed our name to DanDrit Biotech USA, Inc. In 2018, we acquired Enochian Biopharma and changed our name to Enochian BioSciences Inc. In August 2023, the Company changed its corporate name from Enochian Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Biosciences Inc. On February 13, 2024, the Company changed its corporate name from Renovaro Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Inc.

 

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

The financial statements included elsewhere herein for the period ended December 31, 2023, were prepared under the assumption that we would continue our operations as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities during the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $243,980, an accumulated deficit of $257,733,402 and a working capital deficit of $11,355,216 and total liabilities of $14,422,584. We have incurred losses from continuing operations, have used cash in our continuing operations, and are dependent on additional financing to fund operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The financial statements included elsewhere herein do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Management has reduced overhead and administrative costs by streamlining the organization to focus around two of its therapies (oncology and a HIV therapeutic vaccine). The Company has tailored its workforce to focus on these therapies. In addition, the Company intends to attempt to secure additional required funding through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any sources of funding. Such additional funding may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms, and, in the case of equity financing transactions, could result in significant additional dilution to our stockholders. If we do not obtain required additional equity or debt funding, our cash resources will be depleted and we could be required to materially reduce or suspend operations, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations, we could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that could result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us.

 

Funding that we may receive during the fiscal year 2024 is expected to be used to satisfy existing and future obligations and liabilities and working capital needs, to support commercialization of our products and conduct the clinical and regulatory work to develop our product candidates, and to begin building working capital reserves.

On September 28, 2023, the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with GEDi Cube Intl Ltd., a private company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“GEDi Cube”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% of the equity interests of GEDi Cube from its equity holders (the “Sellers”) and GEDi Cube will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Transaction”). On September 28, 2023, the board of directors of the Company, and the board of managers of GEDi Cube unanimously approved the Purchase Agreement (see Note 9.) On January 25, 2024, the Company held a Special Shareholders’ Meeting, during which the shareholders approved the issuance of the Company’s common stock to the Sekkers and the requisite increase in the amount of the Company’s authorized common stock. The Company is working with the GEDi Cube to close the transaction.

The increase in net loss was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses of $3,336,699, partially offset by a decrease in research and development expenses of $1,744,169.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have historically satisfied our capital and liquidity requirements through funding from stockholders, the sale of our Common Stock and warrants, and debt financing. We have never generated any sales revenue to support our operations and we expect this to continue until our therapies or products are approved for marketing in the United States and/or Europe. Even if we are successful in having our therapies or products approved for sale in the United States and/or Europe, we cannot guarantee that a market for the therapies or products will develop. We may never be profitable.

 

As noted above under the heading “Going Concern and Management’s Plans,” through December 31, 2023, we have incurred substantial losses. We will need additional funds for (a) research and development, (b) increases in personnel, and (c) the purchase of equipment, specifically to advance towards an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) following Pre-IND readouts from the FDA for RENB-DC11, RENB-HV12, RENB-HV01, RENB-HV21 and RENB-HB01. The availability of any required additional funding cannot be assured. In addition, an adverse outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings in which we are currently involved or in the future may be involved could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position. We may raise such funds from time to time through public or private sales of our equity or debt securities. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could materially adversely affect our growth plans and our financial condition and results of operations.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $243,980 in cash and working capital of $(11,355,216) as compared to $1,874,480 in cash and working capital of $(8,457,693) as of June 30, 2023, a decrease of 87% and 34%, respectively.

 

Assets

 

Total assets at December 31, 2023, were $58,018,120 compared to $58,300,796 as of June 30, 2023. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to the decrease in cash of $1,630,500, partially offset by increases in notes receivable of $1,073,625 and prepaids and other assets of $394,620.

 

Liabilities

 

Total liabilities at December 31, 2023, were $14,422,584 compared to $11,798,685 as of June 30, 2023. The increase in total liabilities was primarily related to increases of $2,569,379 in convertible notes payable, net of discount, $484,651 in other current liabilities and $281,095 in accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease of $684,947 in notes payable, net of discount.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

For a summary of our accounting policies, see Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The Certifying Officers have designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this Report was prepared.

 

The Certifying Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company and used the “Internal Control over Financial Reporting Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) to conduct an extensive review of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of each of the periods covered by this Report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that the information we were required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The deficiency is attributed to the Company not having adequate resources to address complex accounting matters. This control deficiency will be monitored, and attention will be given to this matter as we grow.

 

The Certifying Officers based their conclusion on the fact that the Company has identified a material weakness in controls over financial reporting, detailed above. We expect to be deficient in our disclosure controls and procedures until sufficient capital is available to hire the appropriate internal accounting staff.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2023, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings. 

 

Securities Class Action Litigation. On July 26, 2022 and July 28, 2022, securities class action complaints (the former, the “Chow Action” and the latter, the “Manici Action”) were filed by purported stockholders of the Company in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The complaints allege, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, by making false and misleading statements and omissions of material fact in connection with the Company’s relationship with Serhat Gümrükcü and its commercial prospects. The complaints seek unspecified damages, interest, fees, and costs. On November 22, 2022, the Manici Action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice, but the Chow action remains pending. On October 22, 2023, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff in the Chow Action. The lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on December 15, 2023. The Company intends to file a motion to dismiss the amended complaint but expresses no opinion as to the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

 

Federal Derivative Litigation. On September 22, 2022, Samuel E. Koenig filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On January 19, 2023, John Solak filed a substantially similar shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Both derivative actions recite similar underlying facts as those alleged in the Securities Class Action Litigation. The actions, filed on behalf of the Company, name Serhat Gümrükcü and certain of the Company’s current and former directors as defendants. The actions also name the Company as a nominal defendant. The actions allege violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and also set out claims for breach of fiduciary duty, contribution and indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement. Plaintiffs do not quantify any alleged injury, but seek damages, disgorgement, restitution, and other costs and expenses. On January 24, 2023, the United States District Court for the Central District of California stayed the Koenig matter pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On April 6, 2023, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware stayed the Solak matter pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. The defendants have not yet responded to either complaint. The Company intends to contest these matters but expresses no opinion as to the likelihood of favorable outcomes.

 

State Derivative Litigation. On October 20, 2022, Susan Midler filed a shareholder derivative action in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, reciting similar underlying facts as those alleged in the Securities Class Action Litigation. The action, filed on behalf of the Company, names Serhat Gümrükcü and certain of the Company’s current and former directors as defendants. The action also names the Company as a nominal defendant. The action sets out claims for breaches of fiduciary duty, contribution and indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement. Plaintiff does not quantify any alleged injury, but seeks damages, disgorgement, restitution, and other costs and expenses. On January 20, 2023, the Court stayed the Midler matter pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. The defendants have not yet responded to the complaint. The Company intends to contest this matter but expresses no opinion as to the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

On October 21, 2022, the Company filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against Serhat Gümrükcü, William Anderson Wittekind (“Wittekind”), G Tech Bio LLC (“G Tech”), SG & AW Holdings, LLC, and Seraph Research Institute (“SRI”) (collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges that the defendants engaged in a “concerted, deliberate scheme to alter, falsify, and misrepresent to the Company the results of multiple studies supporting its Hepatitis B and SARS-CoV-2/influenza pipelines.” Specifically, “Defendants manipulated negative results to reflect positive outcomes from various studies, and even fabricated studies out of whole cloth.” As a result of the Defendants’ conduct, the Company claims that it “paid approximately $25 million to Defendants and third-parties that it would not otherwise have paid.” On April 21, 2023, defendants Wittekind, G Tech, SG & AW Holdings, LLC, and SRI filed a demurrer with respect to some, but not all, of the Company’s claims, as well as a motion to strike. On September 6, 2023, the Court denied in part and granted in part the pending motions. On September 7, 2023, the Court entered a case management order setting the final status conference, trial, and other intervening deadlines.

 

On December 4, 2023, the Defendants answered the Company’s First Amended Complaint and G Tech and SRI filed a Cross-Complaint. In the Cross-Complaint, G Tech and SRI seek declaratory and injunctive relief related to certain agreements between G Tech, SRI, and the Company, including, inter alia, a declaration that the Framework Agreement, effective as of November 15, 2019, the Statement of Work & License Agreement, effective as of January 31, 2020, and the Statement of Work and License Agreement for Influenza and Coronavirus Indications, effective as of April 18, 2021, have been terminated and the Company has no rights to any license under such agreements. The Company denies these allegations and intends to vigorously defend against the cross claims while pursuing its claims against the Defendants.

 

On March 1, 2021, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Robert Wolfe and his company, Crossfield, Inc., filed a Complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont against the Company, Renovaro Biosciences Denmark ApS, and certain directors and officers. In the Complaint, Mr. Wolfe and Crossfield, Inc. asserted claims for abuse of process and malicious prosecution, alleging, inter alia, that the Company lacked probable cause to file and prosecute an earlier action, and sought millions of dollars of compensatory damages, as well as punitive damages. The allegations in the Complaint relate to an earlier action filed by the Company and Renovaro Biosciences Denmark ApS in the Vermont Superior Court, Orange Civil Division. On March 3, 2022, the Court partially granted the Company’s motion to dismiss, dismissing the abuse of process claim against all defendants and all claims against Mark Dybul and Henrik Grønfeldt-Sørensen. On November 29, 2022, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment with respect to the sole remaining claim of malicious prosecution. On August 24, 2023, the Court denied the motion for summary judgment. On September 7, 2023, the Company moved for reconsideration of the Court’s order, which the Court denied on December 4, 2023. The Company denies the allegations set forth in the Complaint and will continue to vigorously defend against the remaining claim.

 

On June 7, 2023, Weird Science LLC (“Weird Science”), Wittekind, the William Anderson Wittekind 2020 Annuity Trust, the William Anderson Wittekind 2021 Annuity Trust, the Dybul 2020 Angel Annuity Trust, and the Ty Mabry 2021 Annuity Trust (collectively, the “Trusts”) (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) filed a Verified Complaint against the Company in the Court of Chancery of Delaware. Plaintiffs allege that the Company breached the February 16, 2018 Investor Rights Agreement between the Company, Weird Science, and RS Group ApS (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). According to the Verified Complaint, the Investor Rights Agreement required the Company to (i) notify all “Holders” of “Registrable Securities” at least 30 days prior to filing a registration statement and (ii) afford such Holders an opportunity to have their Registrable Securities included in such registration statement. Plaintiffs allege that the Company breached these registration rights by failing to provide the required notice in connection with S-3 registration statements filed by the Company on July 13, 2020 and February 11, 2022. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The Company moved to dismiss the Verified Complaint on September 15, 2023.

 

44

 

 

On December 4, 2023, in lieu of opposing the motion to dismiss, Plaintiffs filed a Verified First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). In the FAC, Plaintiffs assert claims against the Company and others for purported breaches of the Investor Rights Agreement, fraud, tortious interference with a contract, and breaches of fiduciary duty. Plaintiffs seek compensatory, exemplary, and punitive damages, as well as certain declaratory relief, specific performance, and pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the FAC on December 18, 2023. The Company denies Plaintiffs’ allegations and intends to vigorously defend against the claim.

 

On August 24, 2023, counsel on behalf of Weird Science, Wittekind, individually, and Wittekind, as trustee of the Trusts served a demand to inspect the Company’s books and records (the “Demand”) pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law, § 220 (“Section 220”). The Demand seeks the Company’s books and records in connection with various issues identified in the Demand. The Company takes its obligations under Section 220 seriously and, to the extent that the requests are proper under Section 220, intends to comply with those obligations.

 

On January 23, 2024, Weird Science and Wittekind filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against certain officers, directors, and investors of the Company, as well as other defendants. The Verified Stockholder Derivative Complaint (“Derivative Complaint”) alleges, among other claims, violations of Section 13(d) and 14(a) and Rules 10b-5(a), 10b-5(c) and 14a-9 of the Exchange Act of 1934. The Derivative Complaint also includes claims of breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, and contribution/indemnification. Weird Science and Wittekind seek unspecified compensatory, exemplary and punitive damages and certain injunctive relief. Simultaneously with the Derivative Complaint, Weird Science and Wittekind filed an emergency Ex Parte Application for Temporary Restraining Order (“Application”) asking the Court enjoin a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders notice for January 25, 2024. As the basis for the Application, Weird Science and Wittekind recited many of the same allegations as in the Derivative Complaint. The Court denied the Application on January 24, 2024. The Company denies the allegations in the Derivative Complaint and intends to vigorously defend against the claims asserted therein.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Business On February 13, 2024, the Company changed its corporate name from Renovaro Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Inc. (“Renovaro”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “us”). In August 2023, the Company changed its corporate name from Enochian Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Biosciences Inc. The Company engages in the research and development of pharmaceutical and biological products for the treatment of cancer, HIV, and HBV with the intent to manufacture said products.

 

Going ConcernThese financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenue, has incurred substantial recurring losses from continuing operations and has an accumulated deficit of $257,733,402, and a working deficit of $11,355,216 as of December 31, 2023. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon (i) its ability to successfully obtain FDA approval of its product candidates, (ii) its ability to obtain any necessary debt and/or equity financing, and (iii) its ability to generate profits from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Basis of PresentationThe Company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and follows the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at December 31, 2023, and 2022 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s June 30, 2023, audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Consolidation For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Registrant and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates include the fair value and potential impairment of intangible assets, and the fair value of equity instruments issued.

 

Functional Currency & Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of Renovaro Denmark is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods ended December 31, 2023, and 2022. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had balances held in financial institutions in Denmark and in the United States in excess of federally insured amounts at December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023, of $91,387 and $1,526,990, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from four to ten years (see Note 4.)

 

Intangible AssetsThe Company has both definite and indefinite life intangible assets.

 

Definite life intangible assets include patents. The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Definite life intangible assets are recorded at cost. Patent costs consist of costs incurred to acquire the underlying patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining capitalized patent costs are charged to expense. Definite life intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of patents is twenty years from the date of application.

 

Indefinite life intangible assets include license agreements and goodwill. The Company accounts for indefinite life intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. License agreement costs represent the fair value of the license agreement on the date acquired and are tested annually for impairment, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

Goodwill – Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually as of June 30th of each fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets – We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. Our detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit and is based on discounted cash flows or relative market-based approaches. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we record an impairment loss for such excess. The annual fair value analysis performed on goodwill supported that goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2023, and no additional impairment is deemed necessary as of December 31, 2023 (see Note 5.)

 

For indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as licenses acquired as an IPR&D asset, on an annual basis we determine the fair value of the asset and record an impairment loss, if any, for the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the carrying value of the licenses acquired as an IPR&D asset exceeded its fair value. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $18,960,000 during the year ended June 30, 2023. No impairment was deemed necessary as of December 31, 2023 (see Note 5.)

 

The carrying value of IPR&D and goodwill at December 31, 2023, were $42,611,000 and $11,640,000, respectively.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsLong-lived assets, such as property and equipment, definite and indefinite life intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectations that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

 

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and would no longer be depreciated. The depreciable basis of assets that are impaired and continue in use are their respective fair values.

 

Leases – In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company determined the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter. The lease terms include any renewal options and termination options that the Company is reasonably assured to exercise, if applicable. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the implicit interest rate in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company develops an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the future payments.

 

Rent expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis, unless the operating lease right of use assets have been impaired, over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For operating leases that reflect impairment, the Company will recognize the amortization of the operating lease right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term with rent expense still included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company’s non-lease components are primarily related to property maintenance, insurance, and taxes, which vary based on future outcomes, and thus are recognized in general and administrative expenses when incurred (see Note 6.)

 

Research and Development Expenses – The Company expenses research and development costs incurred in formulating, improving, validating, and creating alternative or modified processes related to and expanding the use of the Oncology, HIV and HBV therapies and technologies for use in the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy for Oncology, HIV and HBV. Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, amounted to $620,521, and $1,187,165, respectively. Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, amounted to $325,959, and $2,931,334, respectively.

 

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes.

 

Loss Per Share – The Company calculates earnings/ (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) are based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock. Potential shares of Common Stock included in the diluted earnings per share calculation include in-the-money stock options that have been granted but have not been exercised and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. Because of the net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the dilutive shares for both periods were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as the effect of these potential shares of Common Stock is anti-dilutive. The Company had 18,217,727 and 4,833,436 potential shares of Common Stock excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. There were no Level 1, 2, or 3 assets, nor any Level 1, 2, or 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, there was zero and $419,182 loss on extinguishment of the contingent consideration liability.

 

Stock Options and Restricted Share Units – The Company has granted stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and warrants. The Company accounts for stock-based awards in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to consultants and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and are recognized over the required service period, which is generally the vesting period. Stock based compensation costs for the vesting of options and RSUs granted for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 were $999,228 and $1,983,057, respectively. Stock based compensation costs for the vesting of options and RSUs granted for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 were $819,955 and $1,845,963, respectively (See Note 8.)

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB do not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

GOING CONCERN

NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred substantial recurring losses from continuing operations, has used cash in the Company’s continuing operations, and is dependent on additional financing to fund operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $4,529,121 and $13,704,149 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $243,980 and an accumulated deficit of $257,733,402 and a working capital deficit of $11,355,216. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

Management has reduced overhead and administrative costs by streamlining the organization to focus around two of its therapies (oncology and a HIV therapeutic vaccine). The Company has tailored its workforce to focus on these therapies. In addition, the Company intends to attempt to secure additional required funding through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any sources of funding. Such additional funding may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms, and, in the case of equity financing transactions, could result in significant additional dilution to our stockholders. If we do not obtain required additional equity or debt funding, our cash resources will be depleted and we could be required to materially reduce or suspend operations, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations, we could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that could result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us.

 

Funding that we may receive during the fiscal year 2024 is expected to be used to satisfy existing and future obligations and liabilities and working capital needs, to support commercialization of our products and conduct the clinical and regulatory work to develop our product candidates, and to begin building working capital reserves.

During February 2018, the Company acquired a License Agreement (as licensee) to an HIV therapy which consists of a perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and sole and exclusive worldwide license to research, develop, use, sell, have sold, make, have made, offer for sale, import and otherwise commercialize certain intellectual property in cellular therapies for the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy exclusively for HIV in humans, and research and development exclusively relating to HIV in humans. Because the HIV License Agreement is considered an IPR&D intangible asset it is classified as an indefinite life asset that is tested annually for impairment.

 

Impairment – Following the fourth quarter of each year, management performs its annual test of impairment of intangible assets by performing a quantitative assessment and determines if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is greater than or equal to the carrying value of the asset. The results of the quantitative assessment indicated that the carrying value of the license acquired as an IPR&D asset exceeded its fair value, due to the sublicensing of RENB-HV01, which required a different valuation approach and changes in other factors impacting the fair value of the asset as of June 30, 2023, which resulted in an impairment adjustment of $18,960,000. No impairment was deemed necessary as of December 31, 2023.

NOTE 6 — LEASES

 

Operating Leases On November 13, 2017, Renovaro entered into a Lease Agreement for a term of five years and two months from November 1, 2017, with Plaza Medical Office Building, LLC, a California limited liability company, as landlord, (the “Landlord”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease from the Landlord approximately 2,325 rentable square feet. The base rent increased by 3% each year and ranged from approximately $8,719 per month for the first year to $10,107 per month for the two months of the sixth year. The lease was terminated early without penalties or additional costs as of September 30, 2022, that released an accrual of $70,800 related to leasehold improvements that was not utilized.

 

On June 19, 2018, Renovaro entered into a Lease Agreement for a term of ten years from September 1, 2018, with Century City Medical Plaza Land Co., Inc., pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease approximately 2,453 rentable square feet. On February 20, 2019, Renovaro entered into an Addendum to the original Lease Agreement with an effective date of December 1, 2019, where it expanded the lease area to include another 1,101 square feet for a total rentable 3,554 square feet. The base rent increases by 3% each year, and ranges from $17,770 per month for the first year to $23,186 per month for the tenth year. The equalized monthly lease payment for the term of the lease is $20,050. Renovaro subleased the space as of June 25, 2022 through April 30, 2023. (See subsection below “Sublease Agreement” for details.)

 

The Company identified and assessed the following significant assumptions in recognizing the right-of-use asset and corresponding liabilities:

 

Expected lease term — The expected lease term includes both contractual lease periods and, when applicable, cancelable option periods when it is reasonably certain that the Company would exercise such options. The Company’s lease has a remaining lease term of 44 months. As of December 31, 2023, the weighted-average remaining term is 3.67 years.

 

Incremental borrowing rate — The Company’s lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate. As the Company does not have any external borrowings for comparable terms of its leases, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate based on the U.S. Treasury Yield Curve rate that corresponds to the length of each lease. This rate is an estimate of what the Company would have to pay if borrowing on a collateralized basis over a similar term in an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. As of December 31, 2023, the weighted-average discount rate is 4.03%.

 

Lease and non-lease components — In certain cases the Company is required to pay for certain additional charges for operating costs, including insurance, maintenance, taxes, and other costs incurred, which are billed based on both usage and as a percentage of the Company’s share of total square footage. The Company determined that these costs are non-lease components, and they are not included in the calculation of the lease liabilities because they are variable. Payments for these variable, non-lease components are considered variable lease costs and are recognized in the period in which the costs are incurred.

 

Below are the lease commitments for the next 5 years:

 

       
Year Ending June 30th  Lease Expense
 2024    123,602 
 2025    253,384 
 2026    260,985 
 2027    268,815 
 2028    45,021 
 Sub-total     951,807 
 Less imputed interest    (69,504)
 Total   $882,303 

 

Sublease Agreement

 

On June 20, 2022, the Company entered into a sublease Agreement with One Health Labs (the “Subtenant”), whereby the Subtenant agreed to lease 3,554 square feet of space currently rented by the Company in Century City Medical Plaza as of June 25, 2022, for a period of 3.5 years with an option to renew for the remaining term of the lease that ends as of June 19, 2028. The base rent was $17,770 per month plus $750 towards utility fees that are part of the original lease agreement and would increase by 3% each year over the term of the sublease. The Company received a total of $57,022 on July 1, 2022 after execution of the sublease to cover the first month rent, utility fee and deposit. The first sublease payment began on August 1, 2022.

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company treated the sublease as a separate lease, as the Company was not relieved of the primary obligation under the original lease. The Company continues to account for the Century City Medical Plaza lease as a lessee and in the same manner as prior to the commencement date of the sublease. The Company accounted for the sublease as a lessor of the lease. The sublease was classified as an operating lease, as it did not meet the criteria of a sales-type or direct financing lease.

 

On April 18, 2023, the Company entered into a sublease termination agreement with the Subtenant, whereby the Subtenant and the Company agreed to terminate the sublease effective as of April 30, 2023. The Subtenant agreed to pay the Company $139,460 along with the security deposit of $35,540 for a total termination fee of $175,000, to permit early termination of the sublease.

 

The Company recognized operating income from the sublease on a straight-line basis in its statements of operations over the sublease term.

 

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the net operating lease expenses were as follows:

 

                    
   For the Three Months Ended  For the Six Months Ended
   December 31,  December 31,
   2023  2022  2023  2022
             
Operating Lease Expense  $60,922   $96,730   $129,664   $140,660 
Sub lease Income       (53,310)       (106,620)
                     
Total Net Lease Expense  $60,922   $43,420   $129,664   $34,040 

 

Lease expense charged to general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, amounted to $60,922 and $129,664, respectively. Lease expense charged to general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, amounted to $43,420 and $34,040, respectively. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, the Company paid $62,573 and $123,796 under operating leases, respectively. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company paid $96,581 and $241,042 under operating leases, respectively. The difference between the operating lease expense for the six months ended December 31, 2022 in the amount of $140,660 and the cash paid of $241,042, is primarily made up of the release of an accrual of $77,242 related to the termination of the Plaza Medical Office Building, LLC lease.

December 2023 Notes — Between December 1, 2023, and December 29, 2023, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements with two investors to purchase Convertible Promissory Notes for an aggregate principal amount of $560,000 (the “December Notes”). The Company received a total of $540,000 in gross proceeds from the private placement prior to the end of the quarter, and it subsequently received the pending $20,000 in January 2024. The December Notes bear an interest rate of 12% per annum and shall mature one year after their respective dates of issuance (the “Maturity Date”). The Company is required to pay interest quarterly, in arrears, in cash, on the first day of each quarter of each year following the Issue Date prior to the maturity of the December Notes. Notwithstanding the immediate foregoing, at the option of the Holder, interest may accrue on the December Notes on a quarterly basis. The December Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, after the Original Issue Date and prior to the Maturity Date, at a conversion price of $3.38 per share. The Company may prepay the December Notes at any time. The December Notes will be accounted for under ASC 470-20, and all proceeds received from the issuance will be recognized as a liability on the balance sheet. The December Notes principal balance at December 31, 2023, is $540,000.

 

The 2023 Notes — Between September 5, 2023, and October 5, 2023, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements with five investors to purchase 5% Original Issue Discount Convertible Promissory Notes (the “2023 Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of $2,105,263. The Company received a total of $2,000,000 in gross proceeds from the private placement, after taking into account the 5% original issue discount. The discount of $105,263 will be accreted over the life of the 2023 Notes. The 2023 Notes bear an interest rate of 12% per annum and shall mature on September 5, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company is required to pay interest quarterly, in arrears, in cash, on the first day of each quarter of each year following the Issue Date prior to the maturity of the 2023 Notes. Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing, at the option of the Holder, interest may accrue on the Notes on a quarterly basis. The 2023 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the occurrence of a Qualified Offering (as defined below) or upon the Maturity Date. The Company may prepay the 2023 Notes at any time.

 

The 2023 Notes are subject to mandatory conversion (“Mandatory Conversion”) in the event the Company closes an offering of its Common Stock and receives gross proceeds of not less than $10,000,000 (“Qualified Offering”). The conversion price per share of Common Stock in the case of a Mandatory Conversion shall be 95% of the offering price per share in the Qualified Offering, subject to a floor of $4.50 per share. In addition, if no Qualified Offering occurs prior to the Maturity Date, the 2023 Notes shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock on the Maturity Date at a conversion price per share equal to the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Maturity Date, subject to a floor of $4.50 per share.

 

The 2023 Notes will be accounted for under ASC 470-20, and all proceeds received from the issuance will be recognized as a liability on the balance sheet net of discount.

 

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, discount amortization of $26,637 and $29,379 was charged to interest expense, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company accrued interest expense of $64,583. The 2023 Notes balance, net of discount at December 31, 2023 is $2,029,379.

 

The Convertible Notes — On February 6, 2020, the Company issued two Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) to Paseco ApS (the “Holder”), a Danish limited company and an existing stockholder of the Company, each with a face value amount of $600,000, convertible into shares of Common Stock. The outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes was due and payable on February 6, 2023. Interest on the Convertible Notes commenced accruing on the date of issuance at six percent (6%) per annum, computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months, and was compounded monthly on the final day of each calendar month based upon the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest outstanding as of such compound date. The interest was payable in cash on a semi-annual basis.

 

The conversion price was equal to $12.00 per share of Common Stock. The Holder did not exercise its conversion feature that expired on February 6, 2021. The Company evaluated the Convertible Notes in accordance with ASC 470-20 and identified that they each contain an embedded conversion feature that shall not be bifurcated from the host document (i.e., the Convertible Notes) as they are not deemed to be readily convertible into cash. All proceeds received from the issuance were recognized as a liability on the balance sheet.

 

Effective December 30, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company amended and restated the Convertible Notes (the “Amended and Restated Secured Notes”). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Secured Notes, the due date was extended to February 28, 2024. The Amended and Restated Secured Notes are convertible by the Holder if the Company consummates a public offering or private placement of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock. The conversion price shall be the price being paid by the investors in such offering. The interest was increased to twelve percent (12%) per annum, which was prepaid by the Company in full on the date of amendment through the issuance of 198,439 shares of the Company’s Common Stock: 29,419 shares for accrued interest up to the Effective Date and 169,020 shares related to the prepayment of interest through the extension date of the Amended and Restated Secured Notes using the closing market price on the Effective Date, of $1.03. The obligations of the Company under the Amended and Restated Secured Notes were secured by a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”). The Company evaluated the Amended and Restated Secured Notes and conversion feature to determine the appropriate accounting treatment based on the terms of the agreement. In accordance with ASC 480- Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company determined that the Amended and Restated Secured Notes embody an obligation that may require the Company to settle with the issuance of a variable number of shares, where the monetary value of the obligation is based predominantly on a fixed monetary amount of $1,200,000 known at inception. Accordingly, the Company recorded the Amended and Restated Secured Notes as share settled debt. The total value of the shares issued was $204,392 which included $174,090 of prepaid interest and $30,302 for accrued interest as of December 30, 2022. On June 26, 2023, the Holder notified the Company that it wished to elect to exercise its conversion right triggered by a private placement. Therefore, all outstanding $1,200,000 Amended and Restated Secured Notes were converted into 2,264,150 shares of Common Stock and 1,132,075 warrants. There were no Amended and Restated Secured Notes outstanding after the foregoing conversion.

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded accrued interest in the amount of zero. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the interest expense related to the Amended and Restated Secured Notes amounted to zero  and $18,272, respectively. The Amended and Restated Secured Notes balance as of December 31, 2023 was zero .

 

Notes Payable

 

Bridge Loan — On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 5% Original Issue Discount Promissory Note for the principal amount of $1,000,000. The Company received a total of $950,000 in gross proceeds after taking into account the 5% original issue discount. The discount of $50,000 will be accreted over the life of the Note. The Note bears an interest rate of 12% per annum and was due to mature on January 1, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). On January 1, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment with RS Bio ApS, a Danish entity, for the November 3, 2023, $1,000,000 Note Payable bridge loan to extend the maturity date until March 1, 2024 (see Note 11). The Company is required to pay interest on the maturity date. The Notes Payable will be accounted for under ASC 470-20, and all proceeds received from the issuance will be recognized as a liability on the balance sheet net of discount. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, discount amortization of $50,000 was charged to interest expense, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company accrued $20,000 of interest expense that is included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet. The Note balance, net of discount at December 31, 2023 is $1,000,000.

 

Promissory Note — On March 30, 2020 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company issued a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Promissory Note”) to the Holder. The principal amount of the Promissory Note was originally payable on November 30, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”). The Promissory Note bore interest at a fixed rate of 6% per annum, computed based on the number of days between the Issuance Date and the Maturity Date, and the interest was prepaid by the Company in full on the Issuance Date through the issuance of 188,485 shares of the Company’s Common Stock based on the closing market price on that date for a total value of $501,370. The Company evaluated the Promissory Note and PIK interest in accordance with ASC 470-Debt and ASC 835-Interest, respectively. Pursuant to ASC 470-20, proceeds received from the issuance are to be recognized at their relative fair value, thus the liability is shown net of the corresponding discount of $493,192, which is the relative fair value of the shares issued for the PIK interest on the closing date using the effective interest method. The discount of $493,192 will be accreted over the life of the Promissory Note.

 

On February 11, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Promissory Note that extended the Maturity Date to November 30, 2022. All other terms of the Promissory Note remained the same. The change in Maturity Date required an additional year of interest at the fixed rate of 6% per annum, which was prepaid by the Company in full on the date of the amendment through the issuance of 74,054 shares of the Company’s Common Stock based on the closing market price on that date for a total value of $298,178.

  

On May 17, 2022, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Promissory Note that extended the Maturity Date to November 30, 2023 and increased the interest rate from 6% to 12% per annum. All other terms of the Promissory Note remained the same. The change in Maturity Date required an additional year of interest at the fixed rate of 12% per annum. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company prepaid interest for the period November 30, 2022 until May 30, 2023 on the date of the amendment through the issuance of 47,115 shares of the Company’s Common Stock based on the closing market price on that date for a total value of $299,178. All other accrued interest payable from May 30, 2023 to the Maturity Date was required to be paid by the Company on May 30, 2023, at the option of the Holder in either (i) cash or (ii) shares of the Company’s Common Stock, valued at the closing sale price of the Common Stock of the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 30, 2023. The Holder elected the interest be paid in cash (the “Interest Payment”).

 

Effective December 30, 2022, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Promissory Note. Pursuant to the third amendment, the Company’s obligations under the Promissory Note were secured by the Security Agreement. To secure the Company’s obligations under each of the Amended and Restated Secured Notes and the Promissory Note, the Company entered into a Security Agreement with the Holder, pursuant to which the Company granted a lien on all assets of the Company (the “Collateral”) for the benefit of the Holder. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Amended and Restated Secured Notes and Promissory Note, respectively) the Holder may, among other things, collect or take possession of the Collateral, proceed with the foreclosure of the security interest in the Collateral or sell, lease, or dispose of the Collateral.

 

On June 12, 2023, the Holder notified the Company that it wanted to apply the Interest Payment due to it towards the Company’s next private placement. Therefore, on June 26, 2023, in conjunction with the Company’s private placement, the Company issued (i) 567,588 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase 283,794 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.53 per share and applied the Interest Payment of $300,822 it owed to the Holder.

 

On July 31, 2023, the Company and the Holder agreed to amend the Promissory Note (the “Fourth Amendment”) to provide the Holder with limited conversion rights in connection with the Company’s next private placement. Per the terms of the Fourth Amendment, the Holder could elect to convert $2 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note into the Units being offered in the private placement at a price per Unit being paid by the investors in the private placement (the “Conversion Right”). On August 1, 2023, the Holder notified the Company of its election to exercise the Conversion Right. As a result, $2 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note was converted into 280,505 Units at $7.13 per unit, comprised of an aggregate of (i) 280,505 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company and (ii) Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,402,525 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.65 per share. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock acquired by the Holder is initially convertible into 2,805,050 shares of Common Stock. A $3 million principal balance remains outstanding under the Promissory Note after the foregoing conversion. The Company concluded that in accordance with ASC 470-20-40-4, the difference between the fair value of the Preferred Shares and warrants and the carrying value of the portion of the Note being converted should be recognized as an extinguishment. The extinguishment loss of $120,018 is recorded in Other Income/Loss in the Statement of Operations. On November 30, 2023, the Company and the Holder agreed to amend the Promissory Note (the “Fifth Amendment”) to where the Company and the Holder extended the maturity of the Original Note until February 29, 2024. In addition, all interest payable from November 30, 2023 to the Maturity Date was payable and is currently payable by the Company as of November 30, 2023. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, discount amortization of $120,013 and $285,036 was charged to interest expense.

 

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, discount amortization of $74,621 and $149,242 was charged to interest expense. The Promissory Note balance, net of discount at December 31, 2023 is $2,940,000.

At the effective time of the Transaction (the “Effective Time”), each ordinary share of GEDi Cube (each, a “GEDi Cube Share”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be exchanged for (i) shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Renovaro Shares”) such that the total number of Renovaro Shares issued to the holders of GEDi Cube Shares shall equal approximately 49.9% of the total number of Renovaro Shares outstanding as of the Effective Time, (the “Closing Consideration”) and (ii) additional Renovaro Shares to be issued pro rata to the Sellers upon the exercise or conversion of any of the Company’s derivative securities (subject to certain exceptions) which are outstanding at the Effective Time (the “Pro-rata Shares”).

 

Each of the Company and GEDi Cube agreed, subject to certain exceptions with respect to unsolicited proposals, not to directly or indirectly solicit competing acquisition proposals or to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any unsolicited alternative acquisition proposals.

 

The completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including: (i) adoption of the Purchase Agreement by holders of all of the outstanding GEDi Cube Shares, (ii) approval of the issuance of Renovaro Shares in connection with the Transaction by a majority of the votes cast at the shareholder meeting of the Company, (iii) absence of any court order or regulatory injunction prohibiting completion of the Transaction, (iv) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (v) the authorization for listing of Renovaro Shares to be issued in the Transaction on the Nasdaq, (vi) compliance by the other party in all material respects with its covenants, and (vii) the entry by the parties into a registration rights agreement, to become effective as of the Effective Time, pursuant to which the Company will provide registration rights to the Sellers with respect to (a) the Renovaro Shares issued to the Sellers as Closing Consideration at the Effective Time and (b) any Pro-rata Shares that they receive after the Closing. On January 25, 2024, the Shareholders of Renovaro approved the issuance of Renovaro Shares in connection with the Transaction and the increase in the Company’s authorized shares eligible for issuance from 110,000,000 equity shares to 360,000,000 equity shares, that includes an increase in Common Stock eligible for issuance from 100,000,000 to 350,000,000 shares, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock eligible for issuance.

 

The Company and GEDi Cube each made customary representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including covenants and agreements relating to (i) the conduct of each of the Company’s and GEDi Cube’s business between the date of the signing of the Purchase Agreement and the closing date of the Transaction and (ii) the efforts of the parties to cause the Transaction to be completed. The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and GEDi Cube.

 

On February 13, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced acquisition of GEDi Cube and the other transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”). As a result of the Transaction, GEDi Cube became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. 

 

Contingencies

 

Securities Class Action Litigation. On July 26, 2022 and July 28, 2022, securities class action complaints (the former, the “Chow Action” and the latter, the “Manici Action”) were filed by purported stockholders of the Company in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The complaints allege, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, by making false and misleading statements and omissions of material fact in connection with the Company’s relationship with Serhat Gümrükcü and its commercial prospects. The complaints seek unspecified damages, interest, fees, and costs. On November 22, 2022, the Manici Action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice, but the Chow action remains pending. On October 22, 2023, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff in the Chow Action.

Both derivative actions recite similar underlying facts as those alleged in the Securities Class Action Litigation. The actions, filed on behalf of the Company, name Serhat Gümrükcü and certain of the Company’s current and former directors as defendants. The actions also name the Company as a nominal defendant. The actions allege violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and also set out claims for breach of fiduciary duty, contribution and indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement. Plaintiffs do not quantify any alleged injury, but seek damages, disgorgement, restitution, and other costs and expenses. On January 24, 2023, the United States District Court for the Central District of California stayed the Koenig matter pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On April 6, 2023, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware stayed the Solak matter pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. The defendants have not yet responded to either complaint. The Company intends to contest these matters but expresses no opinion as to the likelihood of favorable outcomes.

  

State Derivative Litigation. On October 20, 2022, Susan Midler filed a shareholder derivative action in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, reciting similar underlying facts as those alleged in the Securities Class Action Litigation. The action, filed on behalf of the Company, names Serhat Gümrükcü and certain of the Company’s current and former directors as defendants. The action also names the Company as a nominal defendant. The action sets out claims for breaches of fiduciary duty, contribution and indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement. Plaintiff does not quantify any alleged injury, but seeks damages, disgorgement, restitution, and other costs and expenses. On January 20, 2023, the Court stayed the Midler matter pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. The defendants have not yet responded to the complaint. The Company intends to contest this matter but expresses no opinion as to the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

The Complaint alleges that the Defendants engaged in a “concerted, deliberate scheme to alter, falsify, and misrepresent to the Company the results of multiple studies supporting its Hepatitis B and SARS-CoV-2/influenza pipelines.” Specifically, “Defendants manipulated negative results to reflect positive outcomes from various studies, and even fabricated studies out of whole cloth.” As a result of the Defendants’ conduct, the Company claims that it “paid approximately $25 million to Defendants and third-parties that it would not otherwise have paid.” On April 21, 2023, defendants Wittekind, G Tech, SG & AW Holdings, LLC, and SRI filed a demurrer with respect to some, but not all, of the Company’s claims, as well as a motion to strike. On September 6, 2023, the court denied in part and granted in part the pending motions. On September 7, 2023, the court entered a case management order setting the final status conference, trial, and other intervening deadlines.

 

On December 4, 2023, the Defendants answered the Company’s First Amended Complaint and G Tech and SRI filed a Cross-Complaint. In the Cross-Complaint, G Tech and SRI seek declaratory and injunctive relief related to certain agreements between G Tech, SRI, and the Company, including, inter alia, a declaration that the Framework Agreement, effective as of November 15, 2019, the Statement of Work & License Agreement, effective as of January 31, 2020, and the Statement of Work and License Agreement for Influenza and Coronavirus Indications, effective as of April 18, 2021, have been terminated and the Company has no rights to any license under such agreements. The Company denies these allegations and intends to vigorously defend against the cross claims while pursuing its claims against the Defendants.

 

On March 1, 2021, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Robert Wolfe and his company, Crossfield, Inc., filed a Complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont against the Company, Renovaro Biosciences Denmark ApS, and certain directors and officers. In the Complaint, Mr. Wolfe and Crossfield, Inc. asserted claims for abuse of process and malicious prosecution, alleging, inter alia, that the Company lacked probable cause to file and prosecute an earlier action, and sought millions of dollars of compensatory damages, as well as punitive damages. The allegations in the Complaint relate to an earlier action filed by the Company and Renovaro Biosciences Denmark ApS in the Vermont Superior Court, Orange Civil Division. On March 3, 2022, the Court partially granted the Company’s motion to dismiss, dismissing the abuse of process claim against all defendants and all claims against Mark Dybul and Henrik Grønfeldt-Sørensen. On November 29, 2022, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment with respect to the sole remaining claim of malicious prosecution. On August 24, 2023, the Court denied the motion for summary judgment. On September 7, 2023, the Company moved for reconsideration of the Court’s order, which the Court denied on December 4, 2023. The Company denies the allegations set forth in the Complaint and will continue to vigorously defend against the remaining claim.

Plaintiffs allege that the Company breached the February 16, 2018 Investor Rights Agreement between the Company, Weird Science, and RS Group ApS (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). According to the Verified Complaint, the Investor Rights Agreement required the Company to (i) notify all “Holders” of “Registrable Securities” at least 30 days prior to filing a registration statement and (ii) afford such Holders an opportunity to have their Registrable Securities included in such registration statement. Plaintiffs allege that the Company breached these registration rights by failing to provide the required notice in connection with S-3 registration statements filed by the Company on July 13, 2020 and February 11, 2022. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The Company moved to dismiss the Verified Complaint on September 15, 2023.

 

On December 4, 2023, in lieu of opposing the motion to dismiss, Plaintiffs filed a Verified First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). In the FAC, Plaintiffs assert claims against the Company and others for purported breaches of the Investor Rights Agreement, fraud, tortious interference with a contract, and breaches of fiduciary duty. Plaintiffs seek compensatory, exemplary, and punitive damages, as well as certain declaratory relief, specific performance, and pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the FAC on December 18, 2023. The Company denies Plaintiffs’ allegations and intends to vigorously defend against the claim.

 

On August 24, 2023, counsel on behalf of Weird Science, Wittekind, individually, and Wittekind, as trustee of the Trusts served a demand to inspect the Company’s books and records (the “Demand”) pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law, § 220 (“Section 220”). The Demand seeks the Company’s books and records in connection with various issues identified in the Demand. The Company takes its obligations under Section 220 seriously and, to the extent that the requests are proper under Section 220, intends to comply with those obligations.

 

On January 23, 2024, Weird Science and Wittekind filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against certain officers, directors, and investors of the Company, as well as other defendants. The Verified Stockholder Derivative Complaint (“Derivative Complaint”) alleges, among other claims, violations of Section 13(d) and 14(a) and Rules 10b-5(a), 10b-5(c) and 14a-9 of the Exchange Act of 1934. The Derivative Complaint also includes claims of breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, and contribution/indemnification. Weird Science and Wittekind seek unspecified compensatory, exemplary and punitive damages and certain injunctive relief. Simultaneously with the Derivative Complaint, Weird Science and Wittekind filed an emergency Ex Parte Application for Temporary Restraining Order (“Application”) asking the Court to enjoin a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders noticed for January 25, 2024. As the basis for the Application, Weird Science and Wittekind recited many of the same allegations as in the Derivative Complaint. The Court denied the Application on January 24, 2024. The Company denies the allegations in the Derivative Complaint and intends to vigorously defend against the claims asserted therein.

As a result of the Transaction, GEDi Cube became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as of the Closing Date, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding equity interests of GEDi Cube owned by the Sellers as of the Closing Date (each, a “GEDi Cube Share” and, collectively, the “GEDi Cube Shares”) in exchange for which each Seller was entitled to receive (i) as of the Closing Date, such Seller’s pro rata percentage of an aggregate of 70,834,183 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), which represents the 67,224,089 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date (minus (a) 1 million shares of Common Stock previously issued to a consultant assisting with the Transaction and (b) 1 million shares of Common Stock previously issued to Avram Miller, a director of the Company, pursuant to his Advisory Agreement, dated October 11, 2023, by and between Mr. Miller and the Company) (the “Closing Consideration”) plus 5,610,100 shares of Common Stock representing the Seller’s Earnout Shares (defined below) resulting from the automatic conversion of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred and, (ii) following the Closing Date, such Seller’s pro rata percentage of the shares of Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares” and, together with the Closing Consideration, the “Exchange Consideration”) to be issued to the Sellers upon the exercise or conversion of any of the Company’s derivative securities (subject to certain exceptions) that are outstanding at the Closing Date (the “Closing Derivative Securities”). Each Seller’s pro rata percentage of the Exchange Consideration is equal to the ratio of the aggregate number of GEDi Cube Shares owned by such Seller divided by the aggregate number of GEDi Cube Shares issued and outstanding, in each case, as of the Closing Date. No fractional shares of Common Stock were or will be issued in the Exchange Consideration, and no cash was or will be issued in exchange therefore. Any fractional share of Common Stock that a Seller would otherwise be entitled to receive is rounded down to the nearest whole share.

 

As discussed above, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, upon the closing of the Transaction, the Company issued 70,834,183 unregistered, restricted shares of Common Stock as the Closing Consideration to the Sellers, which shares were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the private offering exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and Regulation S under the Securities Act, as applicable. The Company made this determination based on its receipt from the Sellers of representations and warranties supporting the Company’s reliance on such exemptions.

 

As a result of the issuance of the Closing Consideration on the Closing Date and based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date, the Sellers hold approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the closing of the Transaction and the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

In connection with the closing of the Transaction, on February 13, 2024, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to change its corporate name from “Renovaro Biosciences Inc.” to “Renovaro Inc.”, effective immediately.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Business

Business On February 13, 2024, the Company changed its corporate name from Renovaro Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Inc. (“Renovaro”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “us”). In August 2023, the Company changed its corporate name from Enochian Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Biosciences Inc. The Company engages in the research and development of pharmaceutical and biological products for the treatment of cancer, HIV, and HBV with the intent to manufacture said products.

 

Going Concern

Going ConcernThese financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenue, has incurred substantial recurring losses from continuing operations and has an accumulated deficit of $257,733,402, and a working deficit of $11,355,216 as of December 31, 2023. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon (i) its ability to successfully obtain FDA approval of its product candidates, (ii) its ability to obtain any necessary debt and/or equity financing, and (iii) its ability to generate profits from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Basis of Presentation

Basis of PresentationThe Company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and follows the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at December 31, 2023, and 2022 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s June 30, 2023, audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Consolidation

Consolidation For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Registrant and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Accounting Estimates

Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates include the fair value and potential impairment of intangible assets, and the fair value of equity instruments issued.

 

Functional Currency & Foreign Currency Translation

Functional Currency & Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of Renovaro Denmark is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods ended December 31, 2023, and 2022. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had balances held in financial institutions in Denmark and in the United States in excess of federally insured amounts at December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023, of $91,387 and $1,526,990, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from four to ten years (see Note 4.)

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible AssetsThe Company has both definite and indefinite life intangible assets.

 

Definite life intangible assets include patents. The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Definite life intangible assets are recorded at cost. Patent costs consist of costs incurred to acquire the underlying patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining capitalized patent costs are charged to expense. Definite life intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of patents is twenty years from the date of application.

 

Indefinite life intangible assets include license agreements and goodwill. The Company accounts for indefinite life intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. License agreement costs represent the fair value of the license agreement on the date acquired and are tested annually for impairment, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill – Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually as of June 30th of each fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets – We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. Our detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit and is based on discounted cash flows or relative market-based approaches. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we record an impairment loss for such excess. The annual fair value analysis performed on goodwill supported that goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2023, and no additional impairment is deemed necessary as of December 31, 2023 (see Note 5.)

 

For indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as licenses acquired as an IPR&D asset, on an annual basis we determine the fair value of the asset and record an impairment loss, if any, for the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the carrying value of the licenses acquired as an IPR&D asset exceeded its fair value. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $18,960,000 during the year ended June 30, 2023. No impairment was deemed necessary as of December 31, 2023 (see Note 5.)

 

The carrying value of IPR&D and goodwill at December 31, 2023, were $42,611,000 and $11,640,000, respectively.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsLong-lived assets, such as property and equipment, definite and indefinite life intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectations that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

 

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and would no longer be depreciated. The depreciable basis of assets that are impaired and continue in use are their respective fair values.

 

Leases

Leases – In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company determined the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter. The lease terms include any renewal options and termination options that the Company is reasonably assured to exercise, if applicable. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the implicit interest rate in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company develops an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the future payments.

 

Rent expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis, unless the operating lease right of use assets have been impaired, over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For operating leases that reflect impairment, the Company will recognize the amortization of the operating lease right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term with rent expense still included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company’s non-lease components are primarily related to property maintenance, insurance, and taxes, which vary based on future outcomes, and thus are recognized in general and administrative expenses when incurred (see Note 6.)

 

Research and Development Expenses

Research and Development Expenses – The Company expenses research and development costs incurred in formulating, improving, validating, and creating alternative or modified processes related to and expanding the use of the Oncology, HIV and HBV therapies and technologies for use in the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy for Oncology, HIV and HBV. Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, amounted to $620,521, and $1,187,165, respectively. Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, amounted to $325,959, and $2,931,334, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes.

 

Loss Per Share

Loss Per Share – The Company calculates earnings/ (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) are based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock. Potential shares of Common Stock included in the diluted earnings per share calculation include in-the-money stock options that have been granted but have not been exercised and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. Because of the net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the dilutive shares for both periods were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as the effect of these potential shares of Common Stock is anti-dilutive. The Company had 18,217,727 and 4,833,436 potential shares of Common Stock excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. There were no Level 1, 2, or 3 assets, nor any Level 1, 2, or 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, there was zero and $419,182 loss on extinguishment of the contingent consideration liability.

 

Stock Options and Restricted Share Units

Stock Options and Restricted Share Units – The Company has granted stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and warrants. The Company accounts for stock-based awards in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to consultants and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and are recognized over the required service period, which is generally the vesting period. Stock based compensation costs for the vesting of options and RSUs granted for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 were $999,228 and $1,983,057, respectively. Stock based compensation costs for the vesting of options and RSUs granted for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 were $819,955 and $1,845,963, respectively (See Note 8.)
