UP TO      9,600,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

         CONSISTING OF       8,000,000 SOLD SHARES AND 1,600,000 BONUS SHARES

 

Cytonics Corporation (herein referred to as “Cytonics” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”) is offering up to 8,000,000 shares of our Common Stock (the “Shares”) at $ 5.00 per share, for gross proceeds from the sale of Shares of up to $40,000,000 (“Maximum Offering Amount”). To offset some of the transactional expenses associated with this offering, we will charge each investor a fee equal to 3.5% of the dollar amount of Shares purchased by the investor (“Investor Processing Fee”). The minimum investment established for each investor is $1,000 in Shares plus the Investor Processing Fee ($1,035 total). For more information on the securities offered hereby, please see the item titled “Securities Being Offered” on page 66.

 

Investors who purchase $5,000 or more of Shares in this offering, and anyone who has already purchased Shares in the Company., will receive additional Shares (“Bonus Shares”) as a bonus to their investments. The Company is offering up to 1,600,000 Bonus Shares. The maximum amount of Bonus Shares any investor may receive for any one investment is 20%. Bonus Shares are based on each investment and not aggregate investments. Bonus Shares will be issued as detailed in the “Plan of Distribution.”

 

Shares are being offered on a “best efforts” basis. The sale of Shares will commence within two days from the date that the Offering Statement, of which this this Offering Circular is a part, as amended from time-to-time, is qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This offering will terminate at the earlier to occur of: (i) all Shares offered hereby being sold, (ii) the date three years from the date this Offering Circular, as amended, is initially qualified by the SEC, or (iii) such earlier date as terminated by the Company.

(1) All amounts in this chart and circular are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. There is no minimum offering amount and no provision to escrow or return investor funds if any minimum number of Shares is not sold. All investor funds will be held in a processing account until an investor’s subscription is accepted by the Company, at which time such funds will become available for the Company’s use. We will conduct separate closings, which closings may be conducted on a rolling basis. Closings will be conducted promptly after receiving investor funds. We do not intend to hold a closing any less frequently than every 30 days.
   
(2) We have engaged DealMaker Securities LLC, referred to herein as the “Broker,” for administrative and compliance related services in connection with this Offering. The Broker is not purchasing any securities from the Company with a view to sell those for the Company as part of the distribution of the security. The Broker will earn a commission of 4.5% of the amount of Shares sold in this offering and 4.5% of the Investor Processing Fees. The Broker will not earn a commission on the Bonus Shares issued by the Company. Affiliates of the Broker will earn certain fees related to this offering, which are included in the above table consisting of $30,000 for accountable expenses prior to the Offering commencing.  Once the Offering commences, Affiliates will be compensated $90,000 in account management fees and up to $250,000 in supplemental marketing fees. The maximum compensation that the Broker may receive is $2,233,000, assuming we raise the Maximum Offering Amount. Please see “Plan of Distribution” for additional information.
   
(3) We expect to incur expenses relating to this offering in addition to the fees due to the Broker, including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, marketing, travel, and other miscellaneous expenses, which are not included in the foregoing table. See “Use of Proceeds” for more detail.
   
(4) The Investor Processing Fees will be applied towards the maximum amount the Company can raise under Regulation A and each unaccredited investor’s investment limits, as discussed herein; however, no Shares will be issued in consideration for Investor Processing Fees.
   
(5) The Company may issue up to 1,600,000 Bonus Shares in this offering, if the maximum number of Bonus Shares is issued. The SEC applies a deemed value to Bonus Shares and counts such value against the maximum $75M that an issuer may raise each 12 months. The SEC applies a deemed value to Bonus Shares equal to the purchase price of the Shares being offered, or $5.00 per Bonus Share in our case. Thus, we will be deemed to have offered up to $8,000,000 in Bonus Shares, up to $40,000,000 in offered Shares, and up to $1,400,000 in Investor Processing Fees, for a total deemed potential maximum offering amount of $49,400,000.

 

Generally, no sale may be made to you in this offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.

 

Our Shares are not now listed on any national securities exchange, quotation system or the Nasdaq stock market and there is no market for our securities. There is no guarantee, and it is unlikely, that an active trading market will develop in our securities. Investors should be prepared to hold our Shares indefinitely.

 

This offering is being made pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A, following the Form 1-A Offering Circular disclosure format.

 

This offering is highly speculative and these securities involve a high degree of risk and should be considered only by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. See “Risk Factors” on Page 4. Investors in this offering will grant an irrevocable voting proxy to the company’s President that will limit their ability to vote their Shares purchased in this offering until the occurrence of certain events specified in the proxy, none of which may ever occur.

THESE SECURITIES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE COMMISSION; HOWEVER, THE COMMISSION HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE SECURITIES OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

SUMMARY INFORMATION

 

This summary highlights some of the information in this Offering Circular. It is not complete and may not contain all of the information that you may want to consider. To understand this offering fully, you should carefully read the entire Offering Circular, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the exhibits, before making a decision to invest in our securities. Unless otherwise noted or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Cytonics” and the “Company” refer to Cytonics Corporation together with its subsidiaries. In instances where we refer emphatically to “Cytonics Corporation” or where we refer to a specific subsidiary of ours by name, we are referring only to that specific legal entity. “Offering Statement” refers to the Company’s Form 1-A, including Part I, Part II and Part III, filed with the SEC and amended from time to time. “Offering Circular” refers to this Offering Circular comprising Part II of the Offering Statement.

 

The Company

 

The Company is a research and development company, developing therapies and diagnostics for back and joint pain that it then licenses to unrelated third parties. The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida under the name Gamma Spine, Inc. on July 19, 2006 and was renamed Cytonics Corporation on April 17, 2007.

 

Cytonics is seeking to revolutionize osteoarthritis (OA) care. Initially, we aimed to captivate the regenerative medicine industry with the development of our breakthrough FACT™ diagnostic test for OA, which detects a biomarker that correlates with degree of cartilage damage from samples of patient joint fluid. This test allows for early detection and accurate diagnoses of OA.  Licensed to Synthes (later acquired by Johnson & Johnson) in 2011, we believe this diagnostic paved the way for more personalized medicine and improved treatment plans.

 

The discovery of this biomarker led to the development of our flagship OA treatment: the Autologous Protease Inhibitor Concentrate (APIC™) therapy, which selectively concentrates a therapeutic protein called Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (“A2M”) from patients’ own blood for direct injection into their arthritic joints. APIC™ has treated over 10,000 patients to date, and its clinical and commercial successes are a testament to Cytonics’ core A2M-based technology as a viable therapeutic modality for the treatment of osteoarthritis. APIC™ served as the basis for our current research and development which is centered on creating genetically-engineered “super A2M” variants.

 

Currently, we are focusing our attention on CYT-108, our genetically engineered A2M variant that demonstrated up to 200% more activity compared to the natural A2M protein. We believe that this recombinant protein therapy has the potential to be more effective than APIC™ in treating osteoarthritis patients. If approved by the FDA, CYT-108 may be one of the first “disease modifying” pharmaceuticals for OA, designed to address the disease on the molecular level by inhibiting the destructive enzymes that chew up cartilage tissue. If successful, CYT-108 may be able to halt the progression of OA and restore joint health and overall quality of life.

 

CYT-108 has recently completed a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial involving 19 patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee. The study was conducted in Australia without an active Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the FDA. The primary endpoint is safety, and secondary endpoints include patient reported outcomes of pain and mobility, and a biomarker measurement of cartilage damage. All patients have been dosed and the drug appears to be well-tolerated with no adverse events reported as of September 3, 2025. We expect the Phase 1 clinical study report to be finalized in Q4 2025. Following conclusion of the trial, we expect to submit an Investigational New Drug application to the FDA in late Q1 2026. The next stage of clinical trials will be conducted under an open IND with the FDA. There is no guarantee that we will be able to achieve these dates for conclusion of the Phase 1 clinical study and submission of the Investigational New Drug application.

 

Obtaining FDA approval for CYT-108 is a multi-phase process requiring extensive regulatory compliance, data collection, and clinical validation. By following these established procedures, we aim to ensure the product meets the highest safety and efficacy standards for commercialization.

 

Dividends

 

We have not paid any dividends to date and do not intend to declare dividends in the near future.

 

Capitalization

 

Pursuant to our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, our authorized capital is 70,000,000 shares, of which (1) 50,000,000 shares are Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and (2) 20,000,000 shares are Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which may, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors be issued in one or more series (the "Preferred Stock"), of which the board designated: (a) 150,000 shares as Initial Preferred Stock; (b) 1,500,000 shares as Series A Preferred Stock; (c) 6,000,000 shares as Series B Preferred Stock; and (d) 10,000,000 shares as Series C Preferred Stock of which 510,000 shares are designated as Series C-1 Preferred Stock. As of December 30, 2025, the Company had approximately 13,858,460 Shares of Common Stock, 150,000 shares of Initial Preferred Stock, 576,190 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 2,574,865 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and 8,399,558 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Assuming a fully subscribed offering and the maximum number of Bonus Shares issued, following this offering, the Company would have approximately 23,458,460 Shares of Common Stock, 150,000 shares of Initial Preferred Stock, 576,190 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 2,574,865 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and 8,399,558 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

Use of Proceeds

 

In general, the Company will use net proceeds from the offering for clinical trials, drug production, operations, and offering expenses. See “Use of Proceeds” for more detail.

 

Risks

 

Investing in the Company involves substantial risk and you could lose your entire investment. You should carefully read the section titled “Risk Factors” and the other information included in this Offering Circular for a discussion of facts that you should consider before deciding to invest in our Shares.

The Offering

 

This Offering Circular relates to a best effort offering of up to 8,000,000 Shares of our Common Stock at a price of $ 5.00 per Share, for a potential Maximum Offering Amount of $ 40,000,000. The Company is also offering up to 1,600,000 Bonus Shares. See “Plan of Distribution” for more information on the Bonus Shares being offered. The Company will offer up to 20% of Bonus Shares based on investment amounts. Investors will also pay an Investor Processing Fee of 3.5% of their investment amounts. There is no minimum offering amount and no provision to escrow or return investor funds if any minimum number of Shares is not sold. The minimum investment amount established for each investor is $1,000 plus the Investor Processing Fee ($ 1,035 total). The Company may waive the minimum investment amount on a case-by-case basis for any reason or no reason at all.

 

Once this offering has been qualified by the SEC, we will conduct separate closings on a rolling basis promptly after receiving investor funds. We do not intend to hold closings less frequently than every 30 days. The offering will terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the maximum offering amount have been accepted, (ii) the date which is three years from the date our Offering Statement, as amended, is initially qualified by the Commission, or (iii) any earlier date on which we elect to terminate the offering.

 

We have engaged DealMaker Securities LLC to act as the Broker of record in connection with this Offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services. We have also engaged affiliates of Broker to provide other services relating to this offering. The maximum fees payable to Broker are $1,294,000.

 

In order to subscribe to purchase Shares, a prospective investor must visit our investor portal at www.invest.cytonics.com and complete a subscription agreement and send payment by wire transfer, ACH, credit card, or Stablecoin approved by our Broker, in accordance with the instructions provided within the portal.

 

Under Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of the Securities Act, in Regulation A offerings such as this one, where the securities will not be listed on a registered national securities exchange upon qualification, the aggregate purchase price to be paid by an investor who is a natural person for the securities cannot exceed 10% of the greater of the investor’s annual income or net worth, unless the purchaser is an accredited investor. In the case of an investor who is not a natural person, revenues or net assets for the investors’ most recently completed fiscal year are used instead. We may accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason at all.

 

ABOUT THIS CIRCULAR

 

We have prepared this Offering Circular to be filed with the SEC for our offering of securities. The Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part includes exhibits that provide more detailed descriptions of the matters discussed in this Offering Circular.

 

You should rely only on the information contained in this Offering Circular and exhibits. We have not authorized any person to provide you with any information different from that contained in this Offering Circular. The information contained in this Offering Circular is complete and accurate only as of the date of this Offering Circular, regardless of the time of delivery of this Offering Circular or sale of our Shares. This Offering Circular contains summaries of certain other documents, but reference is hereby made to the full text of the actual documents for complete information concerning the rights and obligations of the parties thereto. Numbers in this Offering Statement may be rounded to the nearest 100th decimal point.

 

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

 

The industry and market data used throughout this Offering Circular have been obtained from our own research, surveys or studies conducted by third parties and industry or general publications. Industry publications and surveys generally state that they have obtained information from sources believed to be reliable, but do not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information. We believe that each of these studies and publications is reliable. We have not engaged any person or entity to provide us with industry or market data.

 

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

No information contained herein, nor in any prior, contemporaneous or subsequent communication should be construed by a prospective investor as legal or tax advice. We are not providing any tax advice as to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the securities offered herein. In making an investment decision, investors are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisor to determine the U.S. Federal, state and any applicable foreign tax consequences relating to their investment in our securities.

RISK FACTORS

 

Any investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this Offering Circular before deciding whether to purchase our Common Stock. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by these risks if any of them actually occur. Some of these factors have affected our financial condition and operating results in the past or are currently affecting us. This Offering Circular also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this Offering Circular. In addition to the other information provided in this Offering Circular, you should carefully consider the following risk factors in evaluating our business and before purchasing any of our Common Stock. Material risks identified by the Company are discussed in this section; however, discussion may not include all risks applicable to an investment in Shares to the extent such risks have not been contemplated by the Company.

 

Risks Related to this Offering and our Common Stock

 

There is no current market for any shares of the Company’s securities.

 

You should be prepared to hold this investment indefinitely. There is no established market for these securities and there may never be one. As a result, if you decide to sell these securities in the future, you may not be able to find a buyer. Investors should assume that they may not be able to liquidate their investment or be able to pledge their shares as collateral.

 

Using a credit card to purchase shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment.

 

Investors in this offering may at some point have the option of paying for their investment with a credit card, which is not usual in the traditional investment markets. Transaction fees charged by your credit card company or cryptocurrency exchange service and interest charged on unpaid card balances (which can reach over 25% in some states) add to the effective purchase price of the shares you buy. The cost of using a credit card may also increase if you do not make the minimum monthly card payments and incur late fees. Using a credit card is a relatively new form of payment for securities and will subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment, including that, if you fail to make credit card payments (e.g. minimum monthly payments), you risk damaging your credit score and payment by credit card may be more susceptible to abuse than other forms of payment. Moreover, where a third-party payment processor is used, your recovery options in the case of disputes may be limited. The increased costs due to transaction fees and interest may reduce the return on your investment.

 

The SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy issued an Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018 entitled Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which explains these and other risks you may want to consider before using a credit card to pay for your investment.

 

We may need additional capital, which may be on terms more or less favorable than those offered in this offering.

 

We may require additional capital and may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or incur debt. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or that the terms provided won’t be more or less favorable than those hereby offered.

 

Because our management will have broad discretion and flexibility in how the net proceeds from this offering are used, we may use the net proceeds in ways in which you disagree.

 

The intended use of proceeds from this offering is more particularly described in the Section titled “Use of Proceeds;” however, such description is not binding and the actual use of proceeds may differ from the description contained therein. Accordingly, our management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

The offering price of our Shares has been determined by management.

 

Our management has determined the Shares offered by the Company. The price of the Shares we are offering was internally determined based upon the illiquidity and volatility of our Common Stock, our current financial condition and the prospects for our future cash flows and earnings, and market and economic conditions at the time of the offering. The offering price for the Common Stock sold in this offering may be more or less than the fair market value for our Common Stock.

 

The best efforts structure of this offering may yield insufficient gross proceeds to fully execute our business plan.

 

Shares are being offered on a best-efforts basis. We are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Common Stock, but will use our best efforts to sell the Shares offered by us. As a “best effort” offering, there can be no assurance that the offering contemplated by this Offering Circular will result in any proceeds being made available to us.

 

We may not register or qualify our securities with any state agency pursuant to blue sky regulations.

 

The holders of our shares of Common Stock and persons who desire to purchase them in the future should be aware that there may be significant state law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our shares. We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in states which require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders.

 

We may experience investment delays.

 

There may be a delay between the time an investor’s subscription is accepted by the Company and the time the proceeds of this offering are deployed. During these periods, the Company may invest these proceeds in short-term certificates of deposit, money-market funds, or other liquid assets with FDIC-insured and/or NCUA-insured banking institutions, which will not yield a return as high as if deployed in our operations.

 

Shares are being offered under an offering exemption, and if it were later determined that such exemption was not available, purchasers would be entitled to rescind their purchase agreements.

 

Shares are being offered to prospective investors pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A under the Securities Act. Unless the sale of Shares should qualify for such exemption the investors might have the right to rescind their purchase of Shares. Since compliance with these exemptions is highly technical, it is possible that if an investor were to seek rescission, such investor would succeed. A similar situation prevails under state law in those states where Shares may be offered without registration. If a number of investors were to be successful in seeking rescission, the Company would face severe financial demands that could adversely affect the Company and, thus, the non-rescinding investors. Inasmuch as the basis for relying on exemptions is factual, depending on the Company’s conduct and the conduct of persons contacting prospective investors and making the Offering, the Company will not receive a legal opinion to the effect that this Offering is exempt from registration under any federal or state law. Instead, the Company will rely on the operative facts as documented as the Company’s basis for such exemptions.

 

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends.

 

We presently do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends on any of our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, would be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors (the “Board”). We presently intend to retain all earnings to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We are relying on the exemption for insignificant participation by benefit plan investors under ERISA.

 

The Plan Assets Regulation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) provides that the assets of an entity will not be deemed to be the assets of a benefits plan if equity participation in the entity by benefit plan investors, including benefit plans, is not significant. The Plan Assets Regulation provides that equity participation in the entity by benefit plan investors is “significant” if, at any time, 25% or more of the value of any class of equity interest is held by benefit plan investors. Because we are relying on this exemption, we will not accept investments from benefit plan investments of 25% or more of the value of any class of equity interest. If repurchases of shares reach 25%, we may repurchase shares of benefit plan investors without their consent until we are under such 25% limit. See the section of this offering circular captioned “ERISA Considerations” for additional information regarding the Plan Assets Regulation.

Investors in this offering will be required to arbitrate their claims relating to the purchase of Shares and will not be entitled to a jury trial or to bring class action with respect to claims arising under the Subscription Agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under these Agreements.

 

Investors in this offering will be bound by the Subscription Agreement, which includes a provision under which investors waive the right to a jury trial or class action for any eligible claim, which will be settled by binding arbitration as opposed to formal court process, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in such an action. By signing the Subscription Agreement, the investor warrants that the investor has reviewed this waiver with his or her legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives the investor’s jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel.

 

The subscription agreement has a forum selection provision that requires disputes be resolved in state or federal courts in the state of Florida, regardless of convenience or cost to you, the investor.

 

As part of this investment, each investor will be required to agree to the terms of the subscription agreement included as Exhibit 4.1 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is part. In the agreement, investors agree to resolve disputes arising under the subscription agreement in state or federal courts located in the state of Florida, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the agreement. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. The Company believes that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision may not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. You will not be deemed to have waived the Company’s compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. This forum selection provision may limit your ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us. Although we believe the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Florida law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies and in limiting our litigation costs, to the extent it is enforceable, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes, may increase investors’ costs of bringing suit and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in an action, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

We will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than rules for more mature public companies, and our investors receive less information.

 

We are required to report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for public companies reporting under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semiannual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of our fiscal year, and semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of our fiscal year.

 

We also may elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act. If we elect or are required to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act, under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to:

 

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

 

being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

In either case, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, and investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

If we are required to register any Shares under the Exchange Act, it would result in significant expense and reporting requirements that would place a burden on the Company.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act requires an issuer with more than $10 million in total assets to register a class of its equity securities with the Commission under the Exchange Act if the securities of such class are held of record at the end of its fiscal year by more than 2,000 persons or 500 persons who are not “accredited investors.” To the extent the Section 12(g) assets and holders limits are exceeded, we intend to rely upon a conditional exemption from registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act contained in Rule 12g5-1(a)(7) under the Exchange Act (the “Reg. A+ Exemption”), which exemption generally requires that the issuer (i) be current in its Form 1-K, 1-SA and 1-U filings as of its most recently completed fiscal year end; (ii) engage a transfer agent that is registered under Section 17A(c) of the Exchange Act to perform transfer agent functions; and (iii) have a public float of less than $75 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed semi-annual period or, in the event the result of such public float calculation is zero, have annual revenues of less than $50 million as of its most recently completed fiscal year. If the number of record holders of any Series of Interests exceeds either of the limits set forth in Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and we fail to qualify for the Reg. A+ Exemption, we would be required to register such Series with the Commission under the Exchange Act. If we are required to register any Series of Interests under the Exchange Act, it would result in significant expense and reporting requirements that would place a financial burden on the Company and a time burden on our management.

 

The Investor Processing Fee may not count toward your cost basis for tax purposes.

 

The IRS and/or another relevant tax authority may consider the price of the Share before including the Investor Processing Fee as the cost basis for determining any gain or loss at a realization event. You should discuss with your tax advisor the appropriate way to determine the relevant tax obligation.

 

Investors will hold minority interests in the Company.

 

Following this offering, investors in their individual capacities will represent a minority of the Company’s authorized stock. Further, investors will be required to sign a proxy granting the Company’s President the authority to vote the investor’s Shares as part of the subscription agreement. Accordingly, individual investors should anticipate little or no ability to direct the Company’s operations.

 

Investors in our securities could experience immediate and substantial dilution after this offering.

 

The public offering price of our Shares is higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of the outstanding common shares immediately after this offering. As a result of this dilution, investors purchasing Shares in this offering could receive significantly less than the full purchase price that they paid for the Shares purchased in this offering in the event of a liquidation. Further, we have convertible securities with conversion prices less than the price per Share in this offering. Consequently, if these securities are exercised, there could be further dilution to the purchasers of our Shares.

 

Further, we are offering Bonus Shares to certain investors, thereby diluting any investor who is not issued Bonus Shares or any investor who is issued Bonus Shares at a lower percentage tier than other investors.

 

Investors in the company’s Common Stock have assigned their voting rights via an irrevocable proxy.

 

In order to subscribe to this offering, each investor is required to grant an irrevocable proxy, giving the right to vote its shares of Common Stock to the Company’s President, Joey Bose. This irrevocable proxy is indefinite, and will only terminate upon the occurrence of events specified in the proxy, which include the Company’s IPO or acquisition by another entity, which may never occur. There are many risks associated with an indefinite proxy duration. This means that the proxy could remain in force indefinitely. This presents several risks to investors, including but not limited to:

 

  · Loss of Voting Rights: Investors may have limited or no control over the voting of their shares, potentially restricting their ability to influence key corporate decisions such as mergers, acquisitions, governance changes, or strategic transactions.
  · Potential Misalignment with Investor Interests: The President holding the proxy may act in a manner that does not align with the individual investor’s interests, with no recourse for investors to override such actions.
  · Reduced Liquidity and Marketability: Shares subject to an indefinite proxy may be less attractive to potential buyers, as the voting rights are effectively transferred, potentially affecting the resale value and liquidity of the shares.
  · Corporate Governance Implications: The concentration of voting power in a designated proxy holder may result in decision-making that benefits the controlling party over minority investors, heightening the risk of conflicts of interest.

 

Investors in this offering should carefully evaluate the implications of the irrevocable proxy and consider the potential risks associated with the inability to exercise voting rights. Before investing, shareholders should review the terms of the proxy agreement and consult with their legal or financial advisors to understand the full scope of these limitations.

If we do become publicly traded, the Company’s stock price may be volatile. If the Company were to become publicly traded, the price of the Company’s Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various potential factors, many of which will be beyond the Company’s control, including the following:

 

  · goods or services by the Company or its competitors;
  · additions or departures of key personnel;
  · the Company’s ability to execute its business plan;
  · operating results that fall below expectations;
  · loss of any strategic relationship;
  · industry developments;
  · economic and other external factors; and
  · period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s financial results.

 

This is a fixed price offering and the fixed offering price may not accurately represent the current value of us or our assets at any particular time. Therefore, the purchase price you pay for the Common Stock may not be supported by the value of our assets at the time of your purchase.

 

This is a fixed price offering, which means that the offering price for our Common Stock is fixed and will not vary based on the underlying value of our assets at any time during the offering. Our Board of Directors has determined the offering price in its sole discretion. The fixed offering price for our Common Stock has been based on an assessment of the future potential economic value of Cytonics’ drug development program, predicated on the commercialization of our lead drug asset, CYT-108. This estimation is based on assumptions that may not be accurate. Therefore, the fixed offering price established for our Common Stock may not be indicative of the true market value of the Company, which can only be determined by selling the shares in the public market or priced by an acquirer.

 

The preparation of our financial statements involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions, and our financial statements may be materially affected if such estimates, judgments or assumptions prove to be inaccurate.

 

Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. Significant areas of accounting requiring the application of management's judgment include, but are not limited to, determining the fair value of assets and the timing and amount of cash flows from assets. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities.

 

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our Common Stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of Preferred Stock, which would rank senior to our Common Stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our Common Stock.

 

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our Common Stock. Moreover, if we issue additional Preferred Stock, the holders of such Preferred Stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of Common Stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred securities in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our Common Stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return they may be able to achieve from an investment in our Common Stock.

 

Fiduciaries investing the assets of a trust or pension or profit sharing plan must carefully assess an investment in our Company to ensure compliance with ERISA.

 

In considering an investment in the Company of a portion of the assets of a trust or a pension or profit-sharing plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from tax under Section 501(a), a fiduciary should consider (i) whether the investment satisfies the diversification requirements of Section 404 of ERISA; (ii) whether the investment is prudent, since the Common Stock are not freely transferable and there may not be a market created in which the Shares may be sold or otherwise disposed; and (iii) whether interests in the Company or the underlying assets owned by the Company constitute “Plan Assets” under ERISA.

 

We may invest or spend the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree or in ways which may not yield a return.

 

The principal purposes of this offering are to raise additional capital to use in accordance with our planned use of proceeds. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. Investors in this offering will need to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of proceeds. If we do not use the net proceeds that we receive in this offering effectively, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be harmed. See “Use of Proceeds.”

Risks Related to our Business

 

We have not yet generated profits.

 

We have not yet generated profits. The likelihood of our creation of a viable business must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a business, operation in a competitive industry, and the continued development of our technology and products. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase for the near future, and there is no assurance that we will be profitable in the near future or ever. You should consider our business, operations and prospects in light of the risks, expenses and challenges faced as an emerging growth company.

 

We depend heavily on our officers and key employees, and turnover of such personnel could harm our business.

 

Our business and results of operations depend in significant part upon our executives. If we lose their services or if they fail to perform in their current positions, or if we are not able to attract and retain skilled personnel to replace employees as needed, our business could suffer.

 

We may change our business strategy without stockholder consent, which may result in riskier operations than our current operations.

 

We may change our business strategy and guidelines at any time without the consent of our stockholders, which could result in our making investments that are different from, and possibly riskier than, the investments described in this Offering Circular. A change in our business strategy could expose us to unknown risks.

 

Current global financial conditions have been characterized by increased volatility which could negatively impact our business, prospects, liquidity and financial condition.

 

Current global financial conditions and recent market events have been characterized by increased volatility and the resulting tightening of the credit and capital markets has reduced the amount of available liquidity and overall economic activity. We cannot guarantee that debt or equity financing, the ability to borrow funds or cash generated by loans will be available or sufficient to meet or satisfy our initiatives, objectives or requirements, nor can we guarantee that we will have access to efficient or effective financing structures.

 

We intend to grow the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing any growth we may achieve.

 

As our development and commercialization plans and strategies develop, we expect to need additional managerial, operational, financial, accounting, legal, and other resources. Future growth would impose significant added responsibilities on members of management. Our management may not be able to accommodate those added responsibilities, and our failure to do so could prevent us from effectively managing future growth, if any, and successfully growing our Company.

 

We may not maintain sufficient insurance coverage for the risks associated with our business operations.

 

Risks associated with our business and operations include, but are not limited to, claims for wrongful acts committed by our officers, directors, and other representatives, the loss of key personnel, risks posed by natural disasters, and risks of lawsuits from our employees. Any of these risks may result in significant losses. We cannot provide any assurance that our insurance coverage is sufficient to cover any losses that we may sustain, or that we will be able to successfully claim our losses under our insurance policies on a timely basis or at all. If we incur any loss not covered by our insurance policies, or the compensated amount is significantly less than our actual loss or is not timely paid, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Financial projections may be wrong.

 

Certain financial projections concerning the future performance of the properties are based on assumptions of an arbitrary nature and may prove to be materially incorrect. No assurance is given that actual results will correspond with the results contemplated by these projections. It is possible that returns may be lower than projected, or that there may be no returns at all.

 

These and all other financial projections, and any other statements previously provided to the Purchaser relating to the Company or its prospective business operations that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Sentences or phrases that use such words as “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “may,” “hopes,” “can,” “will,” “expects,” “is designed to,” “with the intent,” “potential” and others indicate forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward- looking.

 

Such statements are based on our management’s current estimates and expectations, along with currently available competitive, financial, and economic data. However, forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. A variety of factors could cause business conditions and results to differ materially from what is contained in any such forward-looking statements.

 

It is possible that actual results from operation of the properties will be different than the returns anticipated by our management and/or that these returns may not be realized in the timeframe projected by our management, if at all.

 

9

 

 

We might obtain lines of credit and other borrowings, which increases our risk of loss due to potential foreclosure.

 

We may obtain lines of credit and long-term financing that may be secured by our assets. As with any liability, there is a risk that we may be unable to repay our obligations from the cash flow of our assets. Therefore, when borrowing and securing such borrowing with our assets, we risk losing such assets in the event we are unable to repay such obligations or meet such demands. Our ability to obtain and maintain access to these or similar kinds of credit facilities is significant for us to operate the business.

 

Maintaining and enhancing our brand and reputation is critical to our growth and negative publicity could damage our brand and thereby harm our ability to compete effectively, which would materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our brand and our reputation are important assets. Maintaining and enhancing our brand and reputation is critical to our ability to compete effectively. Our brand and reputation could be harmed if we fail to act responsibly or are perceived as not acting responsibly, or fail to comply with regulatory requirements as interpreted by certain governments or agencies thereof, in a number of other areas, such as safety and security, data security, privacy practices, sustainability, human rights (including in respect of our own operations and throughout our supply chain), matters associated with our broader supply chain (including owners and other third-party vendors and service providers), diversity, non-discrimination and support for employees and local communities. Media, legislative, or government scrutiny around our Company, including the perceived impact on neighborhood nuisance, privacy practices, provision of information as requested by certain governments or agencies thereof, business practices and strategic plans, our business partners, private companies where we have minority investments and our practices relating to our platform, offerings, employees, competition, litigation and response to regulatory activity, could adversely affect our brand and our reputation with our buyers, owners and communities. Social media compounds the potential scope of the negative publicity that could be generated and the speed with which such negative publicity may spread. Any resulting damage to our brand or reputation could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our results of operations and financial condition are subject to management’s accounting judgments and estimates, as well as changes in accounting policies.

 

The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. If these estimates or assumptions are incorrect, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the SEC and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results and could affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement of a change.

 

Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change-of-control.

 

Our amended and restated articles of incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which approximately 2,350,000 shares remain undesignated. Such undesignated shares of Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more subseries, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any Preferred Stock could diminish the rights of holders of our Common Stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such Common Stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of Preferred Stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue Preferred Stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent our stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended.

 

Limitations on director and officer liability and indemnification of our Company’s officers and directors by us may discourage stockholders from bringing suit against an officer or director.

 

Our Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide, with certain exceptions as permitted by governing state law, that a director or officer shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or unlawful payments of dividends. These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by stockholders on our behalf against a director.

 

10

 

 

We are responsible for the indemnification of our officers and directors.

 

Should our officers and/or directors require us to contribute to their defense, we may be required to spend significant amounts of our capital. Our articles of incorporation, as amended and bylaws, as amended also provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of our Company. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures, which we may be unable to recoup. If these expenditures are significant, or involve issues which result in significant liability for our key personnel, we may be unable to continue operating as a going concern.

 

Cytonics is obligated to pay certain fees and expenses.

 

Cytonics will pay various fees and expenses related to its ongoing operations regardless of whether or not Cytonics’ activities are profitable. These fees and expenses will require dependence on third-party relationships. Cytonics is generally dependent on relationships with its strategic partners and vendors, and Cytonics may enter into similar agreements with future potential strategic partners and alliances. Cytonics must be successful in securing and maintaining its third-party relationships to be successful. There can be no assurance that such third parties may regard their relationship with Cytonics as important to their own business and operations, that they will not reassess their commitment to the business at any time in the future, or that they will not develop their own competitive services or products, either during their relationship with Cytonics or after their relations with Cytonics expire. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Cytonics’ existing relationships or future relationships will result in sustained business partnerships, successful service offerings, or significant revenues for Cytonics.

 

We have a history of operating losses and our auditors have indicated that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

To date, we have not been profitable and have incurred significant losses and cash flow deficits. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we reported net losses of $4,526,921 and $1,946,860, respectively. For the fiscal periods ending June 30, 2025 and 2024, we reported net losses of $4,430,334 and $2,567,620, respectively. The Company also had an accumulated deficit of $33,646,205 as of June 30, 2025. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the audited financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

We expect to experience losses in the future and may not become profitable.

 

Pursuant to our business strategy, we expect to continue to make expenditures on research, clinical trials, and regulatory approvals, which will adversely affect operating results until revenues from sales of our products reach a level at which these costs are supported. Our recent operations have been financed and are expected to continue to be financed primarily through sales by us of our equity and through debt. We anticipate, based on our current proposed plans and assumptions relating to operations, that the net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock offered hereby, assuming a fully subscribed offering, will be sufficient to satisfy our contemplated cash requirements for approximately 24 months from the date of this Offering.

 

Since the formation of our Company, we have generated limited revenues, with the exception of the federal grant income, income from the sale of an exclusive license to our therapeutic products, and quarterly royalties. We may experience quarterly and annual losses, and expect to do so at least through the end of the 2025 calendar year. We are a research and development company that creates shareholder value by de-risking potential therapeutic drug assets through the FDA’s regulatory framework. As such, our primary directive is not to achieve profitability. Instead, we strategically allocate investor capital to maximize shareholder value within the constraints of our drug development mission. If we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability.

 

Our current and historical revenue is highly concentrated.

 

The Company’s revenue is highly concentrated among a limited number of customers, which poses a significant customer concentration risk. The loss of any one of these key customers, or a significant reduction in their purchases or licensing fees, could materially impact the Company's revenue and financial stability. Cytonics' reliance on a concentrated customer base makes it vulnerable to changes in these customers' business needs, financial health, or strategic direction. This dependency may continue as the Company develops its portfolio and attempts to diversify its revenue sources, though there is no guarantee that future revenues will be less concentrated.

 

If the Company cannot raise sufficient funds, it may not succeed.

 

Cytonics is offering Common Stock in the amount of 8,000,000 shares and up to $40,000,000 in this Offering on a best-efforts basis and may not raise the complete amount. If we raise the full maximum amount in this Offering, even if the maximum amount is raised, the Company is likely to need additional funds in the future in order to grow, and if it cannot raise those funds for whatever reason, including reasons relating to the Company itself or to the broader economy, it may not survive. If the Company manages to raise a substantially lesser amount than the maximum amount, it will have to find other sources of funding for some of the plans outlined in “Use of Proceeds.”

 

11

 

 

Some of our products are ready for commercial sales, but there is no certainty that these products will be successfully marketed.

 

Our ability to develop and commercialize products based on our proprietary technology will depend on our ability to develop products internally and may depend upon key outside partnerships that may not materialize on a timely basis or at all. There is no certainty that products employing our technology will be successfully marketed or licensed. Our products and technologies may prove to be unworkable or economically unfeasible. Many medical and pharmaceutical products require long development and testing periods and large capital investments with no certainty that the product will be successfully marketed.

 

Some of our products are in the developmental stage and may require more testing.

 

Our technologies are based on extensive testing, but there are still important questions and additional testing and development that will need to occur prior to making our products available for broad sale to the medical community. The Company may need to initiate expensive clinical studies to further support the use and market acceptance of our products. We have had limited technical input or evaluations with respect to our products from other physicians or medical professionals, and therefore have received limited validation of the potential efficacy of our products or their viability in the market from persons outside of our Company. Our limited resources in supporting our products could have a material adverse effect upon our business.

 

We may have a limited number of products.

 

We may not be able to afford to develop additional products. If the production or sales of any of our limited number of products do not meet our expectations, our dependence upon small numbers of products and our inability to quickly develop new products could have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The failure of our products to gain market acceptance would have an adverse effect upon our ability to generate revenues and attain profitability.

 

A significant challenge for us will be gaining market acceptance of our products. The participation and interest of practicing surgeons and other physicians will be critical. It may require significant time, effort and expense to attract sufficient numbers of physicians for our products to gain widespread acceptance. We cannot assure you that a sufficient number of physicians will invest the time required to gain familiarity with and be trained in the use of our products, or that, once trained, they will be committed to continued usage.

 

Similarly, other medical procedures and products can also treat certain of the medical indications that we believe can be treated by our products. The medical community widely accepts many alternative treatments, and certain of these other treatments have a long history of prior use. We cannot be certain that our products will gain acceptance over established treatments or that either physicians or the medical community in general will accept and use our products.

 

Market acceptance of our products depends on many factors, including our ability to convince prospective customers that our technology is an attractive alternative to other technologies, to manufacture products in sufficient quantities and at an acceptable cost, and to supply and service sufficient quantities of our products directly or through our strategic alliances. The industry is subject to rapid and continuous change arising from, among other things, consolidation and technological improvements.

 

One or more of these factors may vary unpredictably, which could have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We will be dependent upon third party suppliers and manufacturers.

 

Because of our limited resources, we will be dependent upon other companies to conduct research, supply key components and to manufacture our products. Our ability to develop and maintain relationships with these suppliers, as well as our ability to develop additional sources for key components and manufacturing capabilities, may be important for our long-term success. We cannot assure you that we will be able to establish or maintain relationships with third party suppliers and manufacturers that may be necessary for the execution of our business plan.

 

12

 

 

Our potential inability to contract with qualified distributors to represent us and promote our products could have a negative effect on our business and financial performance.

 

We will rely heavily on distributors to sell our products and to market our products to physicians. Our potential inability to establish distributor relationships could have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to establish relationships with qualified distributors, we will be unable to effectively compete for sales of our products in the medical industry.

 

Reimbursement levels allowed by private and government insurance entities will affect the market acceptance of our products and our potential revenue.

 

If we are unable to convince patients to pay cash or the health insurance entities to reimburse us for our products, it will very likely have a negative effect on our ability to generate significant revenues.

 

Physicians and hospitals are each responsible for the costs associated with surgical procedures. In order for both parties to receive payment for performing these surgical services they each must seek reimbursement from the patient and the patient’s health care provider. The level of compensation is determined by reimbursement codes that are used to define each step of a surgical operation. Each code is defined by a detailed procedural description and associated level of monetary value. These industry standard codes are accepted throughout the healthcare industry and ultimately contribute to the success or failure of a new product introduction.

 

Physicians use codes, referred to as Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, which are recognized by health care providers. Physicians define or code each step of an operative procedure by using a different code. These codes vary by procedure and often are subjective to the physician’s specific definition of his procedure. These codes can be referenced from various sources such as the “Common Coding Scenarios for Comprehensive Spine Care,” which is published annually by the American Medical Association. This code notation is submitted to the insurer and notifies the health care provider of what service or procedure was provided. A pre-established fee for that code number is then reimbursed to the operating physician. The code reimbursement value will vary based on the patient’s insurance carrier as each carrier maintains different levels for reimbursement.

 

Not only does the surgeon submit for reimbursement for his surgery, but the hospital also provides a service requiring a separate code submission for reimbursement. Diagnosis-Related Group (“DRG”) codes are codes responsible for hospital reimbursement under the Medicare Prospective Payment System. New DRG codes are continuously being created to more clearly address different procedures necessary in the medical industry.

 

Reimbursement for spine and orthopedic procedures will continue to change as the national healthcare system places pressure on the industry to lower costs. More specifically, manufacturers will continue to be under pressure to offer competitive pricing as health care providers look for alternatives to decrease costs.

 

Our products are not currently covered by any specific Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) code, and we do not expect that there will be any CPT code approved for reimbursement of our products any time in the near future.

 

The CPT code set is maintained by the American Medical Association through the CPT Editorial Panel.  CPT codes are used to describe medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and are designed to communicate uniform information about medical services and procedures among physicians, coders, patients, accreditation organizations, and payers (including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and insurers) for administrative, financial (including reimbursement), and analytical purposes.

 

Our products are not currently covered by any specific CPT code, and we do not expect that there will be any CPT code approved for reimbursement of our products any time in the near future.  Until such time that a CPT code is approved that covers one or more of our products, patients would be required to pay for our products out of pocket. The process of obtaining a new CPT code to cover a product can take years and is expensive and full of uncertainties.  Our inability to obtain a CPT code for our products on a timely or acceptable basis could have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.  Further, approval of a CPT code for our products may place substantial restrictions on the indications for which our products may be used or the persons with whom they may be used.  To gain reimbursement for the use of a product for clinical indications other than those for which the product was initially approved or cleared or for significant changes to the product, further studies, including clinical trials and approvals, may be required.

 

Our operations will be subject to extensive government regulation.

 

Medical products, devices and therapies are subject to extensive government regulation and review. These regulations are constantly changing. While we believe that our proposed operations will be conducted in material compliance with applicable laws, we have not received or applied for a legal opinion from counsel or from any federal or state judicial or regulatory authority to this effect, and many aspects of our business operations have not been the subject of state or federal regulatory interpretation. Interpretation and enforcement of existing federal and state laws regulating health care, and future laws regulating health care, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Our founder and Chairman of our Board of Directors, Gaetano Scuderi, M.D., is a physician. He owns a significant percentage of our issued and outstanding shares. A number of our other investors are physicians. All of our investor physicians may have a conflict of interest in working in the best interests of patients while recommending our products to those patients, because they may receive a financial benefit from sales of our products as a result of their ownership interest in our Company.

 

Physician Self-Referral Laws. The federal self-referral law (known as the “Stark Law”) imposes restrictions on physicians’ referrals for certain designated health services reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid to entities with which any such physician (or an immediate family member) has a financial relationship, whether through an ownership, debt or compensation arrangement, and it prohibits an entity from billing Medicare or Medicaid, or any other federally funded health benefit program, for services rendered pursuant to a prohibited referral. Violations can result in denial and recoupment of payments for services, imposition of substantial civil or monetary penalties and exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, several states have adopted self-referral laws, some of which are not limited to Medicare or Medicaid reimbursed services or to certain designated health services. Violation of any such laws may result in the imposition of penalties on the physicians pursuant to applicable regulations, including fines and suspension or revocation of the physician’s license. Investors should make their own determination as to the risk of violation of the Stark Law. Any sanctions imposed upon us could have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Fraud and Abuse. The anti-kickback provisions of the Social Security Act prohibit the solicitation, payment, receipt or offering of any direct or indirect remuneration in return for, or as an inducement for, referrals of patients for items or services reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other federally funded health care benefit programs. Violation of these provisions, which are commonly known as the “Fraud and Abuse Law,” can lead to the imposition of civil and criminal penalties upon all parties involved, including substantial civil monetary penalties and exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federally funded health care benefit programs. The scope of prohibited conduct under the Fraud and Abuse Law is broad and it extends to economic arrangements involving hospitals, physicians and their business partners, including arrangements such as those contemplated by us. Applicable state regulations may also prohibit the payment of remuneration in return for referrals. Violation of these state regulations may result in the imposition of monetary penalties on physicians, and suspension or revocation of a physician’s license. It is not certain that our operations will meet the requirements of a safe harbor under the Fraud and Abuse Law. We cannot assure you that our operations do not, or in the future will not, violate such law, and any sanctions imposed upon us could have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Licensure and Corporate Practice of Medicine. State laws and regulations combine to regulate the provision of health care services by prohibiting business entities, such as us, from practicing medicine or otherwise providing health care services without a license and from exercising control over the medical judgments or decisions of physicians and licensed entities. Violation of these requirements could result in civil and criminal sanctions against us. While we believe that our business as structured materially complies with these laws, we cannot assure you that the regulatory authorities or other parties will not assert that we are engaged in the corporate practice of medicine or the unlicensed provision of health care services, and if such an action were taken or such a determination were made, it could have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may not be able to obtain the regulatory approvals necessary to market our products. Further, if we fail to comply with the extensive governmental regulations that affect our business, we could be subject to penalties and could be precluded from marketing our products.

 

Our research and development activities and the manufacturing, labeling, distribution and marketing of our products will be subject to regulation by numerous governmental agencies, including but not limited to the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the State of Florida, HHS, CMS, and the Therapeutics and Goods Administration (“TGA”) in Australia The FDA and TGA impose mandatory procedures and standards for the conduct of clinical trials and the production and marketing of products for diagnostic and human therapeutic use.

 

Our products are subject to approvals or clearances prior to marketing for commercial use. The process of obtaining necessary approvals or clearances can take years and is expensive and full of uncertainties. Our inability to obtain required regulatory approvals on a timely or acceptable basis could have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Further, approvals or clearances may place substantial restrictions on the indications for which our products may be marketed or the persons to whom they may be marketed. To gain approval for the use of a product for clinical indications other than those for which the product was initially approved or cleared or for significant changes to the product, further studies, including clinical trials and approvals, may be required.

 

14

 

 

We believe that the most significant risk relates to the regulatory classification of certain of our products. In the filing of each application, we make a legal judgment about the appropriate form and content of the application. If the regulator disagrees with our judgment in any particular case and, for example, requires us to file a pre-market approval application rather than allowing us to market for approved uses while we seek broader approvals, or requires extensive additional clinical data, the time and expense required to obtain the required approval might be significantly increased or the approval might not be granted.

 

Approved products will be subject to continuing regulatory requirements relating to quality control and quality assurance, maintenance of records, reporting of adverse events, documentation, and labeling and promotion of medical devices.

 

The regulatory authorities require that our products be manufactured according to rigorous standards. These regulatory requirements may significantly increase our production or purchasing costs above currently expected levels and may even prevent us from making our products in quantities sufficient to meet market demand. If we change our approved manufacturing process, regulators may require a new approval before that process may be used. Failure to develop our manufacturing capability may mean that even if we develop promising new products, we may not be able to produce them profitably, as a result of delays and additional capital investment costs. Manufacturing facilities are also subject to inspections by or under the authority of the relevant regulator. In addition, failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could subject us to enforcement action, including product seizures, recalls, withdrawal of clearances or approvals, restrictions on or injunctions against marketing our product or products based on our technology, and civil and criminal penalties.

 

The Affordable Care Act and other payment and policy changes may have a material adverse effect on us.

 

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enacted on March 23, 2010, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 enacted on March 30, 2010, or, together, the Affordable Care Act, imposes a 2.3% excise tax on the sale of any taxable human medical device after December 31, 2012, subject to certain exclusions, by the manufacturer, producer or importer of such devices. The total cost to the industry was expected to be approximately $20 billion over ten years. This significant tax burden on our industry could have a material negative impact on the results of our operations and our cash flows. A significant portion of our sales will be considered medical device sales under this new legislation. Therefore, our products will be subject to this excise tax.

 

Further, the Affordable Care Act encourages hospitals and physicians to work collaboratively through shared savings programs, such as accountable care organizations, as well as other bundled payment initiatives, which may ultimately result in the reduction of medical device acquisitions and the consolidation of medical device suppliers used by hospitals. While passage of the Affordable Care Act may ultimately expand the pool of potential end-users of our products, the above-discussed changes could adversely affect the prices we are able to charge for our products or the amounts of reimbursement available for our products and could limit the acceptance and availability of our products. Each of these could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and the results of our operations.

 

Further, with the increase in demand for healthcare services, we expect both a strain on the capacity of the healthcare system and more proposals by legislators, regulators and third-party payers to keep healthcare costs down. Certain proposals, if passed, could impose limitations on the prices we will be able to charge for our products, or the amounts of reimbursement available from governmental agencies or third-party payers. These limitations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

 

Federal healthcare reform continues to be a political issue, and it is unclear how federal elections may ultimately impact the effects of the Affordable Care Act. Various healthcare reform proposals have also emerged at the state level. We cannot predict what healthcare initiatives, if any, will be implemented at the federal or state level, or the effect any future legislation or regulation will have on us. However, an expansion in government’s role in the United States healthcare industry may lower reimbursements for our products, reduce medical procedure volumes and adversely affect our business, possibly materially.

 

Changes in the health care industry may require us to reduce the selling prices for our products or result in a reduction in the size of the market for our products, which could have a negative effect on our financial performance.

 

Trends toward managed care, health care cost containment and other changes in government and private sector initiatives are placing increased emphasis on the delivery of more cost-effective medical therapies that could adversely affect the sale or the prices of our products. For example:

 

  · Major third-party payers of hospital services, including Medicare and Medicaid and private health care insurers, have substantially revised their payment methodologies, which has resulted in stricter standards for reimbursement of hospital charges for certain medical procedures;
  · Third-party payer cutbacks could create downward price pressure;

 

15

 

 

  · Numerous legislative changes have been passed and others are being considered that would result in major reforms in the U.S. health care system that could have an adverse effect on our business;
  · There has been a consolidation among health care facilities and purchasers of medical products in the United States and these entities, which prefer to limit the number of suppliers from which they purchase medical products, may decide not to purchase or to stop purchasing our products or demand discounts on our prices;
  · There are proposed and existing laws and regulations in many markets regulating pricing and profitability of companies in the health care industry; and
  · There have been initiatives by third-party payers to challenge the prices charged for medical products, which initiatives could affect our ability to sell products on a competitive basis.

 

Both the pressure to reduce prices for our products in response to these trends and the decrease in the size of the market as a result of these trends could adversely affect our future levels of revenues and profitability of sales.

 

In addition, there are laws and regulations that regulate the means by which companies in the health care industry may compete by discounting the prices of their products. Although we intend to exercise care in structuring our customer discount arrangements to comply with those laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that:

 

  · Government officials charged with responsibility for enforcing those laws will not assert that our customer discount arrangements are in violation of those laws or regulations; or
  · Government regulators or courts will interpret those laws or regulations in a manner consistent with our interpretation.

 

We may be subject to material liability or litigation expenses for claims associated with our products or related instruments.

 

Because of the nature of our business, we may become a defendant in medical malpractice, products liability or similar lawsuits, and may become subject to the attendant risk of substantial damage awards. Direct claims, suits or complaints could be asserted against us. While we expect to address these risks through comprehensive general liability insurance, we cannot assure you that such insurance will be available to us, affordable for us, or that any claim asserted against us will be covered by insurance, or will not exceed the coverage limits of applicable insurance. Further, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any such insurance in the future, or that the insurance, if available, will not be too costly to obtain or maintain. A claim against us that is not defended by an insurance carrier, or a successful claim against or settlement by us in excess of our insurance coverage, or our inability to obtain or maintain insurance, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our current and planned business is inherently expensive, risky and may not be understood by or accepted in the marketplace, which could adversely affect our future value.

 

The business currently conducted by the Company is financially speculative. To date, very few companies have been successful in their efforts to commercialize such a business. Furthermore, the number of people who may use our services is difficult to forecast with accuracy. Our future success is dependent on the establishment of the market for our services and our ability to capture a share of this market with the services and offerings we plan to develop. Due to the groundwork laid by the founders, our costs have been kept at a minimum. This allows us to become profitable quickly with a very minute amount of the potential market using our tools and resources.

 

We may not effectively execute our strategy.

 

Our business strategy requires that we successfully and simultaneously complete many tasks. To be successful, we will need to:

 

  · Raise sufficient capital to fund our financial requirements;
     
  · Develop products that gain market acceptance and can be sold at competitive prices;
     
  · Negotiate effective business relationships and licensing agreements with others in the pharmaceutical and medical device industry;
     
  · Attract and retain qualified, professional employees; and
     
  · Evolve our business to gain advantages in an increasingly competitive environment.

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully execute any or all of the elements of our strategy. Our failure to successfully execute any one of the elements of our strategy may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

16

 

 

We may fail to implement our business plan.

 

Investors may lose their entire investment if we fail to implement our business plan. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. These risks include, without limitation, competition, the absence of ongoing revenue streams, inexperienced management and lack of brand recognition. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in executing our business. If we fail to implement and create a base of operations for our proposed business, we may be forced to cease operations, in which case investors may lose their entire investment.

 

Information technology system failures or breaches of our network security could interrupt our operations and adversely affect our business.

 

We rely on our computer systems and network infrastructure across our operations. Our operations depend upon our ability to protect our computer equipment and systems against damage from physical theft, fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or other catastrophic events, as well as from internal and external security breaches, viruses and other disruptive problems. Any damage or failure of our computer systems or network infrastructure that causes an interruption in our operations could have a material adverse effect on our business and subject us to litigation or to actions by regulatory authorities.

 

We are continuing to develop our information technology capabilities, if we are unable to successfully upgrade or expand our technological capabilities, we may not have the ability to take advantage of market opportunities, manage our costs and transactional data effectively, satisfy customer requirements, execute our business plan or respond to competitive pressures.

 

We are exposed to the risk of natural disasters, unusual weather conditions, pandemic outbreaks, political events, war and terrorism that could disrupt business and result in lower sales, increased operating costs and capital expenditures.

 

Our headquarters and Company-operated locations, as well as certain of our vendors and customers, are located in areas which have been and could be subject to natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires or earthquakes. Adverse weather conditions or other extreme changes in the weather, including resulting electrical and technological failures, may disrupt our business and may adversely affect our ability to continue our operations. These events also could have indirect consequences such as increases in the costs of insurance if they result in significant loss of property or other insurable damage. Any of these factors, or any combination thereof, could adversely affect our operations.

 

Public health epidemics or outbreaks could adversely impact our business.

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in China, setting in motion a global pandemic and unprecedented global disruptions. To the extent future unforeseen pandemics arise, they could adversely impact our operations, including, among others, our sales and marketing and ability to continue with clinical trials, and could generally have an adverse impact on our business and our financial results.

 

Our business is located in Florida and may be subject to interruptions caused by hurricanes and other natural disasters.

 

Our physical facilities and employees are all located in southeastern Florida and thus our business operations are more susceptible than businesses located in other parts of the country to interruptions caused by hurricanes and flooding. These natural disasters pose a risk of damage to our facilities and interruptions to our business, which could be prolonged, as a result of extended power outages, the unavailability of our employees during periods when they must attend to personal circumstances, and the inability of third parties to provide necessary services to us due to similar factors. Damage to our facilities and extended interruption of our business could result in lost revenues and other material adverse consequences for our business, which may not be adequately covered by insurance or for which insurance may not be available.

  

Our Contract Drug Manufacturing Organization, Goodwin Biotechnology, is located in Florida and may be subject to interruptions caused by hurricanes and other natural disasters.

 

Goodwin Biotechnology’s (“GBI”) physical facilities and employees are all located in southeastern Florida and thus their business operations are more susceptible than businesses located in other parts of the country to interruptions caused by hurricanes and flooding. These natural disasters pose a risk of damage to their facilities and interruptions to our business, which could be prolonged, as a result of extended power outages, the unavailability of our employees during periods when they must attend to personal circumstances, and the inability of third parties to provide necessary services to us due to similar factors. Damage to GBI’s facilities and extended interruption of their business could result in delays in Cytonics’ clinical trials and research, and other material adverse consequences for our business, which may not be adequately covered by insurance or for which insurance may not be available.

Rapid growth may strain our resources.

 

We expect to experience significant and rapid growth in the scope and complexity of our business, which may place a significant strain on our senior management team and our financial and other resources. Such growth, if experienced, may expose us to greater costs and other risks associated with growth and expansion. We may be required to hire a broad range of additional employees, including other support personnel, among others, in order to successfully advance our operations. We may be unsuccessful in these efforts or we may be unable to project accurately the rate or timing of these increases.

 

Our ability to manage our growth effectively will require us to continue to improve our operations, to improve our financial and management information systems, and to train, motivate, and manage our future employees. This growth may place a strain on our management and operational resources. The failure to develop and implement effective systems, or to hire and retain sufficient personnel for the performance of all of the functions necessary to effectively service and manage our business, or the failure to manage growth effectively, could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, difficulties in effectively managing the budgeting, forecasting, and other process control issues presented by such a rapid expansion could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Our risk management efforts may not be effective which could result in unforeseen losses.

 

We could incur substantial losses and our business operations could be disrupted if we are unable to effectively identify, manage, monitor, and mitigate financial risks, such as credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, liquidity risk, and other market-related risks, as well as operational risks related to our business, assets and liabilities. Our risk management policies, procedures, and techniques, including our scoring methodology, may not be sufficient to identify all of the risks we are exposed to, mitigate the risks we have identified or identify additional risks to which we may become subject in the future.

 

We plan to mitigate this risk by executing our business plan and creating cash flow in order to stem the need for debt acquisition to survive.

 

Compliance with Regulation A and reporting to the SEC could be costly, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to the compliance requirements of Regulation A.

 

Compliance with Regulation A could be costly and requires legal and accounting expertise. After qualifying this Form 1-A, we will be obligated to file an annual report on Form 1-K, a semiannual report on Form 1-SA, and current reports on Form 1-U.

 

Our legal and financial staff may need to be increased in order to comply with Regulation A. Compliance with Regulation A will also require greater expenditures on outside counsel, outside auditors, and financial printers in order to remain in compliance. Failure to remain in compliance with Regulation A may subject us to sanctions, penalties, and reputational damage and would adversely affect our results of operations.

 

If we become a public reporting Company in the future, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth Company” and will be subject to less rigorous public reporting requirements and cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

 

If we become a public reporting Company in the future, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth Company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an “emerging growth Company”, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, including but not limited to:

 

Members of our Board and our executive officers will have other business interests and obligations to other entities, and certain officers and directors may have conflicts of interest.

 

None of our directors or our executive officers will be required to manage the Company as their sole and exclusive function and they may have other business interests and may engage in other activities in addition to those relating to the Company, provided that such activities do not compete with the business of the Company or otherwise breach their agreements with the Company. We are dependent on our directors and executive officers to successfully operate our Company. Their other business interests and activities could divert time and attention from operating our business.

 

18

 

 

Individuals serving on our Board of Directors or as our officers actively participate in other business ventures and investment opportunities, including those that may compete with us. A conflict of interest is likely to arise if a director or officer becomes affiliated with a business entity that is a competitor, customer, provider or supplier of, or otherwise does business with, our Company. Individuals with such conflicts are required to disclose any such conflicts to us pursuant to their fiduciary duty of loyalty to our Company as required by our corporate governance policies and Florida state law. However, we cannot be certain that our directors and officers will always make disclosures, and therefore we may not be able to determine if a conflict of interest exists.

 

Intellectual Property Risks

 

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property. It is difficult and costly to protect our proprietary rights and technology, and we may not be able to ensure their protection.

 

Our commercial success will depend in large part on obtaining and maintaining patent, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property protection of our proprietary technologies and product candidate, which includes CYT-108, as well as successfully defending our patents and other intellectual property rights against third-party challenges. Our ability to stop unauthorized third parties from making, using, selling, offering to sell, importing or otherwise commercializing our product candidate is dependent upon the extent to which we have rights under valid and enforceable patents or trade secrets that cover these activities. If we are unable to secure and maintain patent protection for any product or technology we develop, or if the scope of the patent protection secured is not sufficiently broad, our competitors could develop and commercialize products and technology similar or identical to ours, and our ability to commercialize any product candidates we may develop may be adversely affected.

 

The patenting process is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. In addition, we may not pursue or obtain patent protection in all relevant markets. It is also possible that we will fail to identify patentable aspects of our research and development output before it is too late to obtain patent protection. Moreover, in some circumstances, we may not have the right to control the preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications, or to maintain the patents, covering technology that we license from or license to third parties and are reliant on our licensors or licensees to do so. Our pending and future patent applications may not result in issued patents. Even if patent applications we license or own currently or in the future issue as patents, they may not issue in a form that will provide us with any meaningful protection, prevent competitors or other third parties from competing with us, or otherwise provide us with any competitive advantage. Any patents that we hold may be challenged, narrowed, circumvented, or invalidated by third parties. Consequently, we do not know whether any of our platform advances and product candidates will be protectable or remain protected by valid and enforceable patents. In addition, our existing patents and any future patents we obtain may not be sufficiently broad to prevent others from using our technology or from developing competing products and technologies.

 

Our proprietary technology includes unpatented trade secrets, which we may not be able to protect.

 

Our proprietary technology includes unpatented trade secrets, the competitive advantage of which is substantially dependent upon our ability to maintain their continued secrecy. Trade secrets are difficult to protect. We cannot assure you that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, that those trade secrets will not be disclosed, or that we can effectively protect our unpatented trade secrets.

 

In an effort to protect our trade secrets, we have a policy of requiring our employees, consultants and advisors to execute proprietary information agreements upon commencement of employment or consulting relationships with us. We expect that these agreements will provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of his or her relationship with us must be kept confidential, except in specified circumstances. We cannot assure you, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary information in the event of the unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information.

 

Third-party claims of intellectual property infringement may prevent, delay or otherwise interfere with our product discovery and development efforts.

 

Our commercial success depends in part on our ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell our product candidate and use our proprietary technologies without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property or proprietary rights of third parties. There is a substantial amount of litigation involving patents and other intellectual property rights in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, as well as administrative proceedings for challenging patents, including interference, derivation, inter partes review, post grant review, and reexamination proceedings before the USPTO or oppositions and other comparable proceedings in foreign jurisdictions. We may be exposed to, or threatened with, future litigation by third parties having patent or other intellectual property rights alleging that our product candidates and/or proprietary technologies infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate their intellectual property rights. Numerous U.S. and foreign issued patents and pending patent applications that are owned by third parties exist in the fields in which we are developing our product candidate. As the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries expand and more patents are issued, the risk increases that our product candidate may give rise to claims of infringement of the patent rights of others. Moreover, it is not always clear to industry participants, including us, which patents cover various types of drugs, products or their methods of use or manufacture. Thus, because of the large number of patents issued and patent applications filed in our field, third parties may allege they have patent rights encompassing our product candidate, technologies or methods.

 

19

 

 

Our intellectual property rights may not provide meaningful commercial protection for our products, which could enable third parties to use our technology or very similar technology and could reduce our ability to compete successfully.

 

Our ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies, which includes our ability to obtain, protect and enforce patents on our technology and to protect our trade secrets. While our technology is subject to patent applications that cover significant aspects of our product line, our patent applications may not provide us with any significant competitive advantage. Others may challenge our patent applications and, as a result, our proprietary rights could be narrowed, invalidated or rendered unenforceable. Competitors may develop products similar to ours that our patent applications do not cover. Our current and future patent applications may not result in the issuance of patents. Further, there is a substantial backlog of patent applications in many patent offices and the approval or rejection of patent applications may take several years.

 

We may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents or the patents of our licensors, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful and could result in a finding that such patents are unenforceable or invalid.

 

Competitors may infringe our patents. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, we may be required to file infringement claims, which can be expensive and time-consuming. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that one or more of our patents is not valid or is unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our patents do not cover the technology in question.

 

In patent litigation in the United States, defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity and/or unenforceability are commonplace, and there are numerous grounds upon which a third party can assert invalidity or unenforceability of a patent. Third parties may also raise similar claims before administrative bodies in the United States or abroad, even outside the context of litigation. These types of mechanisms include re-examination, post-grant review, inter partes review, interference proceedings, derivation proceedings, and equivalent proceedings in foreign jurisdictions (e.g., opposition proceedings). These types of proceedings could result in revocation or amendment to our patents such that they no longer cover our product candidates. The outcome for any particular patent following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability is unpredictable. With respect to the validity question, for example, we cannot be certain that there is no invalidating prior art, of which we, our patent counsel and the patent examiner were unaware during prosecution. If a defendant were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity and/or unenforceability, or if we are otherwise unable to adequately protect our rights, we would lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the patent protection on our product candidates. Defense of these types of claims, regardless of their merit, would involve substantial litigation expense and would be a substantial diversion of employee resources from our business.

 

Conversely, we may choose to challenge the patentability of claims in a third party’s U.S. patent by requesting that the USPTO review the patent claims in re-examination, post-grant review, inter partes review, interference proceedings, derivation proceedings, and equivalent proceedings in foreign jurisdictions (e.g., opposition proceedings), or we may choose to challenge a third party’s patent in patent opposition proceedings in the European Patent Office, or EPO, or another foreign patent office. Even if successful, the costs of these opposition proceedings could be substantial, and may consume our time or other resources. If we fail to obtain a favorable result at the USPTO, EPO or other patent office then we may be exposed to litigation by a third party alleging that the patent may be infringed by our product candidates or proprietary technologies.

 

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, that perception could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

We have limited foreign intellectual property rights and may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

 

We have limited intellectual property rights outside the United States. Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on product candidates in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and our intellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States can be less extensive than those in the United States. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the United States, or from selling or importing products made using our inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and, further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where we have patent protection but where enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These products may compete with our product candidates in jurisdictions where we do not have any issued patents and our patent claims or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.

 

20

 

 

Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property protection, particularly those relating to biopharmaceutical products, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents or marketing of competing products against third parties in violation of our proprietary rights generally. The initiation of proceedings by third parties to challenge the scope or validity of our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial cost and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and our patent applications at risk of not issuing and could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop or license.

 

We are dependent upon a limited number of PhD’s and MDs for the continued development of our proprietary technology, and if one or more of them were to become unavailable to us, our ability to continue the development of our technology could be adversely affected.

 

Dr. Gaetano Scuderi, Dr. Lewis Hanna, Dr. Robert Bowser, Dr. Shawn Browning, and Dr. John David Laughlin are the named inventors of all or part of our patented technology, and we depend to a substantial degree upon some of them for continued development of our technology and applications of our technology to the spine and joint markets. We have the right of ownership in any future technologies or products that they may develop while working for the Company or as consultants. They have assigned their rights in our proprietary technology to the Company, and as employees and/or shareholders in our Company, continue to have an economic incentive to work with us on the development and commercialization of our technology. Nevertheless, we do not have any agreements with them that obligate them to continue providing services or other assistance to us, including in the continued development and commercialization of our products and our technology. If they were to cease providing assistance to us in these areas, our business could be adversely affected.

 

Third parties may assert that our employees or consultants have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information or misappropriated trade secrets.

 

As is common in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, we employ individuals who were previously employed at universities or other biopharmaceutical or pharmaceutical companies, including our competitors or potential competitors. Although no misappropriation or improper disclosure claims against us are currently pending, and although we try to ensure that our employees and consultants do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that we or our employees, consultants or independent contractors have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed intellectual property, including trade secrets or other proprietary information, of a former employer or other third parties. We may then have to pursue litigation to defend against these claims. If we fail in defending any claims of this nature in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if we are successful in defending against these types of claims, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses, and could distract our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments, and, if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, that perception could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock. This type of litigation or proceeding could substantially increase our operating losses and reduce our resources available for development activities, and we may not have sufficient financial or other resources to adequately conduct this type of litigation or proceedings. For example, some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of this type of litigation or proceedings more effectively than we can because of their substantially greater financial resources. In any case, uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of intellectual property litigation or other intellectual property related proceedings could adversely affect our ability to compete in the marketplace.

 

We have disclosed detailed information regarding our intellectual property to certain of our competitors.

 

We have disclosed some of our product designs and other proprietary information to certain potential partners who may also compete with us in the future. Although these parties have executed non-disclosure agreements with respect to the proprietary information, there can be no assurances that they will maintain the confidentiality of our intellectual property rights or refrain from infringing on our intellectual property rights.

 

21

 

 

Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements.

 

Periodic maintenance fees on any issued patent are due to be paid to the USPTO and foreign patent agencies in several stages over the lifetime of the patent. The USPTO and various foreign patent agencies also require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other provisions during the patent application process and following the issuance of a patent. While an inadvertent lapse can in many cases be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. Noncompliance events that could result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application include, but are not limited to, failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time limits, non-payment of fees and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents. Were a noncompliance event to occur, our competitors might be able to enter the market, which would have a material adverse effect on our business financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

Changes in patent law in the United States and in non-U.S. jurisdictions could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our product candidates.

 

As is the case with other biopharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly patents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the biopharmaceutical industry involve both technological and legal complexity, and is therefore costly, time-consuming and inherently uncertain.

 

Past or future patent reform legislation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents. For example, in March 2013, under the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, or America Invents Act, the United States moved from a “first to invent” to a “first-to-file” patent system. Under a “first-to-file” system, assuming the other requirements for patentability are met, the first inventor to file a patent application generally will be entitled to a patent on the invention regardless of whether another inventor had made the invention earlier. The America Invents Act includes a number of other significant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications are prosecuted, redefine prior art and establish a new post-grant review system. The effects of these changes are currently unclear as the USPTO continues to promulgate new regulations and procedures in connection with the America Invents Act and many of the substantive changes to patent law, including the “first-to-file” provisions, only became effective in March 2013. In addition, the courts have yet to address many of these provisions and the applicability of the act and new regulations on the specific patents discussed in this filing have not been determined and would need to be reviewed. However, the America Invents Act and its implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents.

 

Additionally, recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings have narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances and weakened the rights of patent owners in certain situations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Depending on decisions by the U.S. Congress, the federal courts and the USPTO, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken our ability to obtain new patents or to enforce our existing patents and patents that we might obtain in the future. For example, in the case, Assoc. for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc., the U.S. Supreme Court held that certain claims to DNA molecules are not patentable. While we do not believe that any of our owned patents will be found invalid based on this decision, we cannot predict how future decisions by the courts, the U.S. Congress or the USPTO may impact the value of our patents. Any similar adverse changes in the patent laws of other jurisdictions could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

Patent terms may be inadequate to protect our competitive position on our product candidates for an adequate amount of time.

 

Patents have a limited lifespan. In the United States, if all maintenance fees are timely paid, the natural expiration of a patent is generally 20 years from its earliest U.S. non-provisional filing date. Various extensions may be available, but the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. Even if patents covering our product candidates are obtained, once the patent life has expired, we may be open to competition from competitive products, including generics. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of new product candidates, patents protecting our product candidates might expire before or shortly after we or our partners commercialize those candidates. As a result, our owned and licensed patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours.

 

22

 

 

If we do not obtain patent term extension and data exclusivity for any product candidates we may develop, our business may be materially harmed.

 

Depending upon the timing, duration and specifics of any FDA marketing approval of our product candidate, one or more of our U.S. patents may be eligible for limited patent term extension under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, or the Hatch-Waxman Amendments. The Hatch-Waxman Amendments permit a patent extension term of up to five years as compensation for patent term lost during the FDA regulatory review process. A patent term extension cannot extend the remaining term of a patent beyond a total of 14 years from the date of product approval, only one patent per product may be extended and only those claims covering the approved drug, a method for using it, or a method for manufacturing it may be extended. However, even if we were to seek a patent term extension, it may not be granted because of, for example, the failure to exercise due diligence during the testing phase or regulatory review process, the failure to apply within applicable deadlines, the failure to apply prior to expiration of relevant patents, or any other failure to satisfy applicable requirements. Moreover, the applicable time period or the scope of patent protection afforded could be less than we request. If we are unable to obtain patent term extension or term of any such extension is less than we request, our competitors may obtain approval of competing products following our patent expiration, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be materially harmed.

 

SPECIAL INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements in this Offering Circular are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the factors set forth above under “Risk Factors.” The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

We undertake no obligation to update and revise any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this document to reflect any future or developments. However, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 is not available to us as a non-reporting issuer. Further, Section 27A(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Act and Section 21E(b)(2)(D) of the Exchange Act expressly state that the safe harbor for forward looking statements does not apply to statements made in connection with an initial public offering.

 

DILUTION

 

In the past 12 months, our CEO, Joey Bose, and the Company’s Chairman, Gaetano J. Scuderi, purchased $5,000 and $100,000 of Shares, respectively, in our previous Regulation A offering, on the same terms as other investors at $3.00 per Share. Therefore, investors are not expected to experience immediate dilution due to these Shares being purchased by management. However, the public offering price of our Shares is higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of the outstanding Common Shares immediately after this offering. As a result of this dilution, investors purchasing Shares in this offering could receive significantly less than the full purchase price that they paid for the Shares purchased in this offering in the event of a liquidation. Further, we have outstanding convertible securities with strike prices less than the price per Share in this offering. Consequently, if these securities are exercised, there could be further dilution to the purchasers of our Shares. Further, we are offering Bonus Shares to certain investors investing $5,000 or more and existing investors, thereby diluting any investor who is not issued Bonus Shares or any investor who is issued Bonus Shares at a lower percentage than other investors.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are offering up to 8,000,000 Shares of our Common Stock in the Company at a price per Share of $5.00, for a potential maximum Offering Amount of $40,000,000. The Company is also charging investors a 3.5% Investor Processing Fee, for additional proceeds to the Company of up to $1,400,000. No Shares will be issued in exchange for the Investor Processing Fee but the Broker will earn its commission on such fee. There is no minimum offering amount and no provision to return investor funds if a minimum number of Shares is not sold. All accepted subscription funds will be immediately available for the Company’s use. No fractional Shares will be issued. The minimum investment established for each investor is $1,000, plus the Investor Processing Fee ($1,035 total), which minimum may be waived by the Company on a case by case basis for any reason or no reason at all.

 

To offset some of the transactional expenses associated with this offering, we will charge investors a fee equal to 3.5% of the dollar amount of Shares purchased. The Investor Processing Fee will be rounded to the nearest whole cent. No Shares will be issued in consideration for Investor Processing Fees

 

Investors will receive Bonus Shares as follows:

 

Loyalty Bonus | 5% Bonus Shares

The maximum number of Bonus Shares that the Company will issue cannot be determined at this time; however, if the Company were to issue the maximum number of Bonus Shares possible, the Company would issue 1,600,000 Bonus Shares in this offering, for a total 9,600,000 offered Shares.

 

We intend to conduct multiple separate closings, which closings may be conducted on a rolling basis. Closings will occur promptly after receiving investor funds. We do not intend to conduct closings less frequently than every 30 days. This offering will terminate at the earlier to occur of: (i) all Shares offered hereby being sold, (ii) the date three years from the date this offering circular is initially qualified by the SEC, although the offering may be extended by an additional 180 days if the Company files a new offering statement covering these securities pursuant to SEC Rule 251 (d)(3)(i)(F) (notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reasonably expects to sell all Bonds within two years from qualification), or (iii) such earlier date as terminated by the Company.

Investor Qualification Standards

 

Our Shares are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act). “Qualified purchasers” include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in any of the interests of our Company does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). We reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Regulation A.

 

For an individual potential investor to be an “accredited investor” for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the “qualified purchaser” definition, the investor must be a natural person who has:

 

1. an individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person and the mortgage on that primary residence (to the extent not negative equity), but including the amount of debt that exceeds the value of that residence and including any increase in debt on that residence within the prior 60 days, other than as a result of the acquisition of that primary residence; or

 

2. earned income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year.

 

26

 

 

If the investor is not a natural person, different standards apply. See Rule 501 of Regulation D for more details. For purposes of determining whether a potential investor is a “qualified purchaser,” annual income and net worth should be calculated as provided in the “accredited investor” definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

We were originally organized on July 26, 2006 in Florida as Gamma Spine, Inc. On April 20, 2007, we changed our name from Gamma Spine, Inc. to Cytonics Corporation. We have one subsidiary, Cytonics Australia Pty Ltd. organized on August 25, 2023.

 

We were founded as a private research and development Company focusing on molecular diagnostic and therapeutic products for osteoarthritis (“OA”). Our first product was a biomarker assay ("Fibronectin Aggrecan Test," “FACT”) to quantify the extent of cartilage damage that is the hallmark of osteoarthritis via quantification of the Fibronectin-Aggrecan Complex (“FAC”). The formation of this large protein complex is a direct result of protease-mediated catabolism of the cartilage tissue, the core mechanism that leads to cartilage degradation and painful bone-on-bone interaction in arthritic joints. We leveraged this nuanced understanding of cartilage damage to develop our first treatment for OA, the Autologous Protease Inhibitor Concentrate (“APIC”) therapy, a device which enriches the therapeutic A2M protein from a patients’ own blood to treat damaged joints. Having treated over 10,000 patients to-date, the clinical and commercial success of APIC™ is a testament to the power of A2M as a potent treatment for osteoarthritis, establishing the basis for our ongoing A2M-based biopharmaceutical research and development program.

 

Our core focus is on the development of CYT-108, a recombinant variant of the natural A2M protein that has up to 200% more protease-inhibition activity compared to the endogenous form. This genetically-engineered A2M variant has demonstrated structural improvements to joint anatomy and physiology in pre-clinical experiments. CYT-108 recently completed a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial and we expect the data to be published in 2025. . If approved by the FDA, CYT-108 is positioned to be a potential disease-modifying candidate for osteoarthritis, a fundamental leap forward in regenerative medicine.

 

Our intellectual property consists of 25 issued US and international patents covering all three of our technologies (FACT, APIC, and CYT-108), and 3 patents pending.

 

A few of our most notable milestones are listed below:

 

  · During 2010 and 2011 the Company was awarded $1,800,000 in NIH grants to pursue our innovative research into discovering treatments for osteoarthritis.

 

29

 

 

  · Raised approximately $25,000,000 in funding from private equity, Equity Crowdfunding (Reg A+ and Reg CF), and licensing deals (Synthes Corp, CareStream America).

 

  · Johnson & Johnson Development Corporation became a large shareholder acquiring 12% ownership on a fully diluted basis via their acquisition of Synthes Corp on May 29, 2011 and June 9, 2011.

 

Industry Overview and Market

 

OA is a degenerative disease that erodes the articular cartilage that protects your joints. Over 27,000,000 Americans currently suffer from OA. The aging population incidence of OA is projected to reach 25% of the adult population in the United States by 2030. While frequently thought of as a chronic disease of aging, OA is prevalent even amongst the young and healthy. As of 2024, post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) accounts for approximately 12% of all symptomatic osteoarthritis cases, This OA subtype occurs frequently in athletes that experience injury (e.g., ACL tear) on the field. Currently, limited treatment options for OA exist, and the current therapies are all palliative. They address the symptoms, but fail to address the root cause of the pain and inflammation, which is cartilage damage due to activity of proteases within the arthritic joint. Currently non-surgical OA recommended treatments include the following:

 

  · Weight loss

 

  · Exercise

 

  · Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections.

 

  · Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP)

 

  · Stem Cell Treatments

 

  · Placental-Derived products

 

Notably, back pain is the second-most common reason patients visit their physicians and the most common reason for missed work. However, according to Orthopedics Today, spine surgery is rare with approximately 3.5% of the most severely affected patients receiving surgery. Back pain is the number one cause of healthcare expenditures, resulting in more than $100 billion in medical expenses annually. According to the National Ambulatory Care Survey, the two most common musculoskeletal reasons for patients visiting a physician were back pain, with 20 million visits, and knee pain, with 15 million visits annually. Of those visits, the second and third most common diagnoses were low back pain and osteoarthritis. One in five adults in the U.S. report being diagnosed by a physician with arthritis. By 2030, it is estimated by the NIH that approximately 70 million Americans will have doctor diagnosed arthritis compared to 42.7 million in 2002, a 58% increase for that period. The economic toll of arthritis in its various forms is estimated to result in excess of $86 billion in lost productivity and healthcare costs. This growth makes the spine and joint markets the fastest growing markets in orthopedics. These growing markets create a unique opportunity to commercialize innovative diagnostic and treatment technologies.

 

For patients with back or knee pain, making an accurate diagnosis is a substantial challenge for physicians. Both spine sciatic pain and knee or joint pain can have multiple etiologies. Various technologies exist to assist physicians to accurately diagnose these patients, but many are expensive and time consuming. MRI, CT scan, and Arthroscopy still require subjective judgment calls by the physician and radiologist. The costs of these diagnostic tests are staggering. The cost of an incorrect diagnosis is significant. Multiple trips to providers, duplicate tests, unnecessary physical therapy or treatments and days or weeks of lost work time are just a few of the compelling reasons providers and insurance carriers seek a less costly and more accurate diagnostic tool.

 

There are more than 4,500 domestic orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons in the U.S. that perform spine procedures for back pain. Many of these surgeons currently perform epidural injections as a first level of treatment for back pain. Additional levels of treatment include spine surgery fusion, discectomies, stenosis and laminectomies. It is estimated that the average U.S. spine surgeon performs 200 procedures a year with fusions accounting for 45% of all procedures, discectomies 44%, and stenosis and laminectomies 11%.

 

30

 

 

Additionally, according to the American Academy of Pain Management, there are over 6,000 pain management specialists throughout the U.S. that diagnose and treat back and joint pain. Many of these physicians perform 10 to 20 pain reduction procedures, including epidural injections, each day.

 

The Company is focused on serving the existing demand for spine and joint pain diagnosis and treatment and is developing new and innovative diagnostic and treatment technologies. We believe an effective treatment for OA would have a tremendous impact on both human well-being and the economic burden of the disease.

 

Regulatory Regimes

 

As a biotechnology company, we are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements. For example, we will need approval from regulatory agencies for our research, development, testing, manufacture, quality control, approval, packaging, storage, recordkeeping, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution, marketing, post-approval monitoring and reporting and import and export of our product candidates. Relevant regulatory authorities include, but are not limited to, the FDA, the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, an agency of the European Union in charge of the evaluation and supervision of medicinal products, the European Commission, which is the executive arm of the European Union, or EU, and other national regulatory authorities where we conduct clinical trials or seek marketing approval. The United States and certain jurisdictions outside the United States also regulate the pricing and reimbursement of such products. The processes for obtaining marketing approvals in the United States and in other countries and jurisdictions, along with subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations and other regulatory authorities, require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources.

 

Licensure and Regulation of Biologics in the United States

 

In the United States, our product candidates are regulated as biological products, or biologics, under the Public Health Service Act, or the PHSA, and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or the FDCA, and their implementing regulations promulgated by the FDA. The failure to comply with the applicable requirements at any time during the product development process, including nonclinical testing, clinical testing, the approval process, or post-approval process, may subject us to delays in the conduct of a clinical trial, regulatory review and approval, and/or subject us to administrative or judicial sanctions. Such sanctions may include, but are not limited to, the FDA’s refusal to allow us to proceed with clinical testing of our product candidates, refusal to approve pending applications, license suspension or revocation, withdrawal of an approval, receipt of untitled or warning letters, adverse publicity, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, fines, and civil or criminal investigations and penalties brought by the FDA or the U.S. Department of Justice or other governmental entities.

 

As we seek approval to market and distribute a new biologic in the United States, we generally must satisfactorily complete each of the following steps:

 

  preclinical laboratory tests, animal studies, and formulation studies all performed in accordance with the FDA’s current Good Laboratory Practice, or cGLP, regulations;

 

  manufacture of clinical investigational product according to current Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP;

 

  submission to the FDA of an IND for human clinical testing, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;

 

  approval by an independent institutional review board, or IRB, representing each clinical trial site before each clinical trial may be initiated, or by a central IRB if appropriate;

 

  performance of adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication, in accordance with the FDA’s current Good Clinical Practice, or cGCP, regulations;

 

  preparation and submission to the FDA of a BLA for marketing approval of our product candidates for one or more proposed indications, including submission of detailed information on the manufacture and composition of our product candidates and proposed labeling;

 

  review of the BLA by FDA potentially with independent expert advice by an FDA advisory committee, where applicable;

 

  satisfactory completion of inspections of the manufacturing facility or facilities by FDA, including those of any third-party manufacturers, at which the product, or components thereof, are produced in order to assess compliance with cGMP requirements and to ensure that the facilities, methods, and controls are adequate to preserve the product’s identity, strength, quality, and purity, and, if applicable, the FDA’s current Good Tissue Practice, or cGTP, for the use of human cell and tissue products;

 

31

 

 

  satisfactory completion of any FDA audits of clinical trial sites to ensure compliance with cGCPs and the integrity of clinical data in support of the BLA;

 

  payment of user fees and securing FDA approval of the BLA; and

 

  compliance with any post-approval requirements, including the potential requirement to implement a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, or REMS, adverse event reporting, and compliance with any post-approval studies required or requested by the FDA.

 

Preclinical Studies and Investigational New Drug Application

 

Before testing any investigational biologic product candidate in humans, our product candidates must undergo preclinical testing. Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation, and stability, as well as studies to evaluate the potential for safety, efficacy, and toxicity in animals. The conduct of the preclinical tests and the formulation of the compounds for use in the preclinical testing must comply with federal regulations and/or requirements. The results of the preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND application. An IND is an exemption from the restrictions of the FDCA which permits an unapproved biologic product candidate to be shipped in interstate commerce for use in an investigational clinical trial. The FDA will notify us within 30 days after receipt of our IND application whether we are cleared to begin human clinical trials, unless before that time the FDA has concerns or questions about our product or conduct of the proposed clinical trial, including concerns that human research subjects would be exposed to unreasonable and significant health risks. In such a case, we and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before the clinical trials can begin.

 

If the FDA raises concerns or questions during this 30-day period, including safety concerns or concerns due to regulatory non-compliance, the FDA may impose a partial or complete clinical hold with respect to our product. Such a clinical hold would delay either a proposed clinical trial, or cause suspension of an ongoing clinical trial, until all outstanding concerns have been adequately addressed, and the FDA has notified us that our clinical trials may proceed or recommence as authorized by the FDA.

 

Human Clinical Trials in Support of a BLA

 

Our clinical trials involve the administration of our product candidate to patients with the disease to be treated and are conducted under the supervision of a qualified principal investigator in accordance with cGCP requirements. Clinical trials are conducted under study protocols detailing, among other things, the objectives of the clinical trial, inclusion, and exclusion criteria, the parameters to be used in monitoring safety and the effectiveness criteria to be evaluated. A protocol for each clinical trial and subsequent protocol amendments must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND.

 

If we wish to conduct a clinical trial outside of the United States, we may, but need not, obtain FDA authorization to conduct the clinical trial under an IND. When a foreign clinical trial is conducted under an IND, all of the FDA’s IND requirements must be met unless waived. If a non-United States clinical trial is not conducted under an IND, we may submit data from a well-designed and well-conducted clinical trial to the FDA in support of our BLA, so long as the clinical trial is conducted in compliance with cGCP and the FDA is able to validate the data from the clinical trial and/or through an onsite inspection if the FDA deems it necessary.

 

For clinical trials conducted in the United States, each clinical trial must be reviewed and approved by an institutional review board, or IRB, either centrally or individually at each institution at which our clinical trials will be conducted. The IRB will consider, among other things, our clinical trial design, subject informed consent, ethical factors, and the safety of human subjects. The IRB must operate in compliance with FDA regulations governing IRBs. The FDA, the applicable IRB, or we may suspend or terminate a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, including a finding that the clinical trial is not being conducted in accordance with FDA requirements or that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Some clinical trials receive additional oversight by an independent group of qualified experts organized by us, known as a data safety monitoring board or committee. This group receives and reviews data arising from the clinical trial on an ongoing basis and may recommend continuation of the clinical trial as planned, changes in clinical trial conduct, or cessation of the clinical trial at designated check points based on such data.

 

Clinical trials typically are conducted in three sequential phases; however, the phases may overlap or may be combined.

 

  Phase 1 clinical trials are initially conducted in a limited population of healthy humans or, for our products, in patients, in order to test the product candidate for safety, including adverse effects, dose tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion, and pharmacodynamics, and to identify a recommended Phase 2 dose.

 

32

 

 

  Phase 2 clinical trials are generally conducted in a limited patient population to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks, evaluate the efficacy of the product candidate for specific targeted indications, and to determine dose tolerance and optimal dosage. We may conduct multiple Phase 2 clinical trials to obtain information before beginning larger and costlier Phase 3 clinical trials. The Phase 2 clinical trial for our product candidates may serve as the pivotal trial, in which case a Phase 3 clinical trial will not be necessary.

 

  Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken within an expanded patient population to further evaluate the proposed effective dose and gather additional information about effectiveness and safety that is needed to evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of the drug and to provide an adequate basis for labeling.

 

During all phases of clinical development, regulatory agencies require extensive monitoring and auditing of all clinical activities, clinical data and clinical trial investigators. Annual progress reports detailing the status of clinical trials must be submitted to the FDA. Written IND safety reports must be submitted to the FDA and the investigators within 15 calendar days of receipt by us after determining that the information qualifies for such expedited reporting. IND safety reports are required for serious and unexpected suspected adverse events, findings from other studies or animal or in vitro testing that suggest a significant risk to humans in our clinical trials, and any clinically important increase in the rate of a serious suspected adverse reaction over that listed in the protocol or investigator brochure. Additionally, we must notify FDA within seven calendar days after receiving information concerning any unexpected fatal or life-threatening suspected adverse reaction. Other external events may occur that can affect the conduct of our clinical trials, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or government shutdowns.

 

In some cases, the FDA may approve a BLA for our product candidate but require us to conduct additional clinical trials to further assess the product candidate’s safety and effectiveness after approval. Such post-approval trials are typically referred to as Phase 4 clinical trials. These studies are used to gain additional experience from the treatment of patients in the intended therapeutic indication and to document a clinical benefit in the case of biologics approved under accelerated approval regulations. Failure to exhibit due diligence with regard to conducting Phase 4 clinical trials could result in withdrawal of approval for our products. Additionally, a Phase 4 clinical trial could be implemented in an effort to evaluate other medical indications for a therapy.

 

There also are requirements governing the reporting of ongoing clinical trials and completed clinical trial results to public registries, such as www.ClinicalTrials.gov. We are required to register and disclose certain clinical trial information, including the product information, patient population, phase of investigation, clinical trial sites and investigators, and other aspects of the clinical trial on www.ClinicalTrials.gov. We are also obligated to disclose the results of our clinical trials after completion. Disclosure of the results of these clinical trials can be delayed until the new product or new indication being studied has been approved, up to a maximum of two years.

 

As a biotechnology company, we are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements. For example, we may need approval from regulatory agencies for our research, development, testing, manufacture, quality control, approval, packaging, storage, recordkeeping, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution, marketing, post-approval monitoring and reporting and import and export of our product candidates. Relevant regulatory authorities include, but are not limited to, the FDA, the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, an agency of the European Union in charge of the evaluation and supervision of medicinal products, the European Commission, which is the executive arm of the European Union, or EU, and other national regulatory authorities. The United States and certain jurisdictions outside the United States also regulate the pricing and reimbursement of such products. The processes for obtaining marketing approvals in the United States and in other countries and jurisdictions, along with subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations and other regulatory authorities, require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources.

FACT™ (Fibronectin-Aggrecan Complex Test)

 

In 2010, our Company launched our flagship product, a first-in-kind biomarker assay that detects byproducts of cartilage degradation in joint fluid, called “FACT™” (Fibronectin-Aggrecan Complex Test). The FACT™ diagnostic product is currently sold to physicians nationwide, and is used to assess the extent of cartilage damage in patients and determine the appropriate course of treatment. Samples of patient’s joint (synovial) fluid are delivered to Cytonics’ laboratory for testing, and the results are uploaded to a secure database accessible only to physicians. Over 900 kits were distributed to physicians in 2019, with roughly 934 kits distributed in 2020, 785 kits distributed in 2021, 127 kits distributed in 2022, and 126 kits distributed in 2023. The decline in sales is related to the shutdown of many medical offices during years affected by COVID-19, and the hurdle of re-establishing relationships with this customer base upon re-opening.

APIC™

 

We have developed a range of therapeutic products for the treatment of painful osteoarthritis, back, and joint pain based upon our understanding of Fibronectin-Aggrecan Complex formation and the role that A2M plays in regulating cartilage degradation. The Company’s first therapeutic product, APIC™ was cleared for sale via the 510(k) regulatory process in January 2014. This technology is predicated on Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), a concentration of the plasma cells found in blood that is injected into joints that are painful and inflamed. The APIC™ system differs from PRP in that it selectively concentrates A2M while removing other blood proteins. The final preparation is a highly concentrated, A2M-rich solution that can be injected into damaged, painful, and inflamed joints.

 

The Company has entered into 2 third party licensing agreements with certain distributors of medical devices whereby the Company has granted sales, marketing manufacturing, and distribution licenses in the human and veterinary markets with exclusive rights to sell both domestically and internationally in the human and veterinary markets the APIC™ products and FACT™ products of the Company. Our APIC™ system has been used to successfully treat over 10,000 patients nationwide. It is also being used to treat racehorses with success.

 

Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (“A2M”) and Variant CYT - 108

 

Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (“A2M”) is a blood serum protein that plays a role in the clotting cascade. A2M is a well characterized, broad spectrum protease inhibitor that has demonstrated potent inhibitory activity against the proteases that are upregulation in OA. Unfortunately, naturally occurring levels of A2M are too low to lend any therapeutic benefit to damaged joints.

 

Our A2M technology has been proven to slow cartilage degradation, alleviate pain, eventually halt the progression of OA and allow the body’s regenerative mechanisms to heal the damaged tissue. We believe our innovation is in combining our technologies. Specifically, we developed the Autologous Protease Inhibitor Concentrate (“APIC”) system to concentrate the A2M found naturally in the bloodstream. This is achieved by drawing and centrifuging patient’s blood, then filtering out all the proteins that could cause damage to the joint (such as proteases and inflammatory cytokines). This selectively concentrates the A2M protein found within the bloodstream 4-6x above naturally occurring levels.

 

The next generation of A2M variants is underway. We have leveraged our expertise in proteomics to create a library of over 100 genetically modified A2M variants. The A2M variants were genetically engineered with unique bait regions responsible for trapping and eliminating proteases. Our A2M variants have a stronger potency and greater specificity for the proteases that are responsible for OA, making these variants powerful protease inhibitors. We tested the ability of each variant to block cartilage degradation in animal models of OA and identified 2 exceptional variants for further testing, named "CYT-98" and "CYT-108.

 

Preclinical Development of CYT-108

 

Drug Discovery & Lead Selection

 

  · Over 100 recombinant variants (rA2M) of the wild-type A2M (wt-A2M) protein were designed and tested for their inhibitory effects on 12 proteases involved in cartilage breakdown.

 

  · Lead Selection:

 

  o Four top-performing rA2M variants were identified and compared with wt-A2M in an ex vivo Bovine Cartilage Explant (BCE) model, where cartilage breakdown was induced using TNF-alpha and IL1-beta.

 

  o Recombinant A2M (rA2M) variants demonstrated stronger inhibition of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAGs) release than wt-A2M.

 

  o The two most effective variants advanced to in vivo studies (Zhang et al., 2017).

 

35

 

 

In Vivo Rat Model of Osteoarthritis

 

  · A rat anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACL-T) model was used to assess cartilage protection.
  · The rA2M variants demonstrated superior protease inhibition and downregulation of protease gene expression.
  · Fluorescence molecular tomography, immunohistochemical analysis, and RT-PCR confirmed cartilage protection.
  · CYT-108 emerged as the most effective rA2M variant and was selected for further investigation.

 

Manufacturing & Purification

 

  · Produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and purified through a multi-step process involving metal affinity, reverse-phase, and anion exchange chromatography.
  · Virus inactivation and filtration steps ensure purity and safety.
  · The final formulation is ultra-filtered for drug concentration and stability.

 

Preclinical Pharmacokinetics & Safety Studies

 

Small Animal Studies

 

  · PK/PD studies in nude mice showed that fluorescently labeled A2M had a half-life of 4.0 – 4.7 days when administered intra-articularly or subcutaneously.
  · Biodistribution: A2M was not detected in any organ or circulation, confirming localized drug activity.

 

Large Animal Studies (Canine OA Model)

 

  · A non-GLP study in a canine post-traumatic OA model tested intra-articular and subcutaneous injections.
  · Key Safety Findings:

 

  o No adverse events or side effects observed with three 0.5 mg/kg intra-articular injections at one-week intervals.
  o No systemic effects with three subcutaneous injections (5 mg/kg, 10× human dose equivalent).
  o No changes in vital signs, blood analysis, or major organs (heart, kidney, liver, lung, brain, spleen).

  o Synovial fluid analysis for biomarkers (ARGS fragment) of inflammation and cartilage degradation.

 

Patient Withdrawal Criteria

 

  · Participants may withdraw voluntarily at any time.

 

  · Clinical investigators can remove participants for safety concerns or other medical reasons.

 

Next Steps and Milestones

 

Outlined below is a detailed timeline of key milestones achieved during the Phase 1 trial, as well as the next steps planned for CYT-108’s development:

 

  · On April 2, 2024, we were granted regulatory approval to begin patient recruitment.
  · As of June 2024 we have successfully recruited 22 patients.
  · As of December 2024 all 22 patients have been dosed with either CYT-108 or placebo (saline).
  · As of January 13, 2025, no drug-related adverse events have been reported.
  · We anticipate that the final patient will receive their last dose in late Q4 2024.

 

  o During Q1 and Q2 2025, we plan to conduct a 3-month follow-up period to assess safety and efficacy at the six-month mark.
  o We will assess cartilage breakdown and patient reported outcomes (perceived pain and changes in mobility and daily function) in the CYT-108 treated and placebo groups.
  o We will look for signs of “disease modification” by quantifying a cartilage degradation product found in blood and whether there are positive changes in patient reported outcomes of pain and mobility.
  o A reduction in cartilage breakdown of the CYT-108 treated group relative to that of the placebo group would indicate that CYT-108 is targeting the molecular pathogenesis of osteoarthritis, and isn’t merely an anti-inflammatory or pain reliever.

 

  · The Phase 1 clinical study report is expected to be finalized in Q4 2025.
  ·

The results of this study will serve as the foundation for our Investigational New Drug (IND) application, which we plan to submit in 2026.

 

It is important to note that clinical trial outcomes may not ultimately support the continued development of CYT-108. At the conclusion of the study, CYT-108 appears well-tolerated and no drug-related adverse events were reported.

 

38

 

 

 

 

Provided, CYT-108 demonstrates strong efficacy and safety results through Phase 1 and subsequent trials, our next steps toward commercialization include:

 

  Advancing to Phase 1/b/2a, Phase 2b, and Phase 3 Trials

 

  o These will focus on confirming efficacy, dosing optimization, and further safety evaluation across larger, multi-national patient populations.

 

  FDA Approval and Licensing

 

  o Following successful Phase 3 results, we will seek FDA approval, alongside approvals in additional global markets such as the European Union, Japan, and Australia.

 

  Target Market

 

  o Our commercialization strategy prioritizes partnerships with healthcare providers, orthopedic clinics, and hospitals specializing in osteoarthritis treatment. Additionally, we will engage with payers to ensure broad insurance coverage and accessibility for patients.

 

  Distribution Channels

 

  o We plan to leverage direct-to-physician sales teams, collaborate with major pharmaceutical distributors, and explore digital telehealth partnerships to maximize market reach.

 

  Market Education and Awareness

 

  o We will conduct comprehensive educational campaigns targeting physicians, patients, and caregivers to highlight the “disease-modifying” benefits of CYT-108.

 

By focusing on these commercialization strategies, we aim to position CYT-108 as a groundbreaking treatment capable of reversing the root cause of osteoarthritis and significantly improving patients' quality of life.

Research

 

We currently have a staff of 1 full time employee and 7 technical consultants, including 2 PhD’s, 5 MD’s, and 2 MBA’s. These advisors serve as scientific, financial and regulatory consultants.

 

In 2013, our research team developed a series of recombinant variants of A2M which has the potential to be a treatment for osteoarthritis, back and joint pain. In vitro and in vivo testing on small animal models of trauma-induced arthritis have demonstrated a high degree of safety and efficacy of our recombinant A2M product. Since 2015,we have outsourced drug development to Goodwin Biotechnology, a contract services provider with expertise in cell line development, scale up, and GMP manufacturing. See Exhibit 6.8 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.

 

We contracted with Goodwin Laboratory (Plantation, Florida) for GLP/GMP production of our A2M variants and pre-clinical trials. We believe we currently have produced enough GMP-grade drug product to complete our Phase 1 clinical trial.

 

In 2023, we contracted with Southern Star Research, and Australian CRO, to coordinate our first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial. See Exhibit 6.9 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part. We have contracted three independent clinical study sites along the eastern coast of Australia. We have begun our Phase 1 clinical trial and dosed all patients in the 22 participant study. As of September 3, 2025, no adverse events have been reported and CYT-108 appears to be well-tolerated. We expect the Phase 1 Clinical Study Report to be finalized in Q4 2025, at which point we will analyze the efficacy data to determine if CYT-108 has a positive effect on patient perceived pain, changes in mobility, and cartilage degradation.

 

Competition

 

The spine and orthopedic markets are known for their intense competition; however, in the field of orthopedic diagnostics and biologic therapeutics there are very few competitors. Our primary competition will be companies that provide the existing standard of care including steroids, NSAIDs, visco supplementation, and closed irrigation treatments. We believe that by proving a clinical and economic advantage over existing treatments, we will be able to compete effectively. We will, however, be competing for market share against other drug and device companies that may possess greater resources and experience than us.

 

Given the large market potential for therapies, it is likely that other pharmaceutical companies and orthopedic companies have internal development programs for therapeutic products that will compete with our products.

 

56

 

 

Pricing Strategy

 

Our pricing strategy is to position our products as premium priced products, however, to be less expensive than the current treatment algorithms for spine and joint pain. We will work closely with patients, insurance carriers and workman’s compensation providers to determine a fair price for our assay and therapeutic products.

 

Organizational Structure

 

The Company has one subsidiary, Cytonics Australia Pty Ltd. Cytonics Australia Pty Ltd. is a fully owned subsidiary established specifically to manage the expenses associated with clinical trials. This strategic structuring facilitates the Company's eligibility to claim up to a 43.5% Research and Development Tax Incentive (“RDTI”) offered by the Australian government. The constitution of Cytonics Australia Pty Ltd. outlines the governance framework that directs Company management, ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Corporations Act.

 

The Australian Taxation Office may reject or materially alter the RDTI annual claim amount. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize the benefit of the claim amount until cash receipt since collectability is not certain until such time. The tax concession is a refundable credit. If the Company has net income, then the Company can receive the credit which reduces its income tax liability. If the Company has net losses, then the Company may still receive a cash payment for the credit, however, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are reduced by the gross equivalent loss that would produce the credit amount when the income tax rate is applied to that gross amount. The concession is recognized as a tax benefit, in operations, upon receipt. Under the RDTI Program, up to 43.5% of R&D expenditures may be reimbursed in the form of cash. In order to qualify for the maximum reimbursement, the Company plans to remain in compliance with applicable Australian tax laws and has contracted with an Australian tax and accounting specialist, Prime Financial, who manages the accounting and tax filings for our Australian subsidiary.

 

Employees

 

We currently have a staff of 1 full time employee, no part time employees and 7 technical consultants, including 2 PhD’s, 3 MDs, and 2 MBA’s. These advisors serve as scientific, financial and regulatory consultants.

 

Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business.

 

On January 8, 2018, we received a letter from the trustee for IRC Clinics, Inc. (“IRC”) in their ongoing bankruptcy case advising us that their filing had been converted from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7 on January 9, 2017 and that the trustee’s duty is to liquidate IRC and collect all monies contractually due to it, which it said also includes funds owed by the Company to IRC pursuant to a Master Services Agreement dated February 15, 2015. The Company had a discussion with the attorney for the trustee for IRC, and he advised that they were not aware of this dispute and the Company has not had any communications with the attorney for the trustee for IRC since June 21, 2018. There was no specific dollar amount demanded.

 

The Company is not currently involved in any litigation, and its management is not aware of any pending or threatened legal actions relating to its intellectual property, conduct of its business activities, or otherwise.

 

Reports to Security Holders

 

We are required to keep appropriate books of the business at our principal offices. The books will be maintained for both tax and financial reporting purposes on a basis that permits the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For financial reporting purposes and tax purposes, the fiscal year and the tax year align with the calendar year end, unless otherwise determined by our Board of Directors in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. We will file with the SEC periodic reports as required by applicable securities laws.

 

Under the Securities Act, we must update this Offering Circular upon the occurrence of certain material events. We will file updated Offering Circulars and Offering Circular supplements with the SEC. We are also subject to the informational reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to Tier 2 companies whose securities are offered pursuant to Regulation A, and accordingly, we will file annual reports, semiannual reports and other information with the SEC. We will provide such documents and periodic updates electronically through the SEC’s EDGAR system at www.sec.gov. We will provide holders with copies via email or paper copies at any time upon request.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the “Components of Results of Operations”, “Results of Operations”, consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this Offering Circular. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.

 

Results of Operations

 

Year ended December 31, 2024 compared to year ended December 31, 2023

 

Circumstances which led to the performance of financial statements:

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sustained a net loss of $4,526,921 and had net cash used in operating activities of $3,042,437. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $29,225,962. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

 

The majority of our operating expenses are related to the research and development of the Company's experimental drug candidate, CYT-108, as a treatment for osteoarthritis. R&D expense 2024: $2,659,416 R&D expense 2023: $1,497,236 R&D expenses increased due to the Phase 1 clinical study. The Company recognizes revenues from licensing and royalty fees received from the granting of exclusive sales, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution rights associated with the Company's functional intellectual property. The Company typically requires a non-refundable license fee, paid over several years, and quarterly royalty payments based on a percentage of sales, subject to minimum guaranteed quarterly royalty amounts. Revenue 2024: $306,669 Revenue 2023: $417,500 Revenues did not change significantly from the prior year. To date, the Company has funded its research and development and operating activities through sales of debt and equity securities, grant funding, and revenues generated from the licensing of its products. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received proceeds of $3,377,794, net of direct offering costs, from the sale of Series C Preferred Shares, $1,500,000 from the issuance of common shares and options, and $100,000 from the issuance of contingently convertible notes payable.

 

Semi-annual period ended June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024.

 

For the semi-annual periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we generated revenues of $130,000 and $170,002, respectively, and reported net losses of $4,420,243 and $2,564,000, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $1,651,711 and $1,101,405, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had stockholders’ equity of approximately $1,851,442.

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues totaled $130,000 and $170,002 for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease is due to a contractual amendment reducing by $6,667 per month the monthly royalty from our largest customer.

 

58

 

 

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses totaled $2,234,201 and $1,265,107 for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The reason for the increase in these expenses was primarily due to a $857,852 increase in stock-based compensation, a $68,251 increase in marketing and trade shows, a $62,324 increase in dues and subscriptions and a $21,275 increase in regulatory fees, partially offset by a $78,049 decrease in bad debt expense.

 

Professional Fees

 

Professional fees totaled $421,705 and $343,732 for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These expenses included legal, accounting and auditing expenses.  The increase was primarily attributable to a $96,795 increase in consulting fees.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses totaled $1,755,584 and $819,724 for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in the research and development expenses was attributable to the Phase 2 clinical trial.

 

59

 

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense totaled $0 and $205,840 for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in interest expense resulted from the elimination of all notes payable in 2024 (through a combination of cash payments and conversions to common shares).

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss totaled $4,420,243 and $2,564,000 for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The primary reasons for the increase in loss were the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have primarily financed our operations through the sale of unregistered equity, promissory notes and warrants.  As of June 30, 2025, our Company had cash totaling $2,562,193.

 

Our capital requirements going forward will consist of financing our operations until we are able to reach a level of revenues and gross margins adequate to equal or exceed our ongoing operating expenses. Although we believe that we have access to capital resources, there are no commitments in place for new financing and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. We expect to have ongoing needs for working capital in order to: (a) fund operations; and (b) to continue research and development. To that end, we may be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing additional capital. If we are unsuccessful, we may need to: (a) initiate cost reductions; (b) forego business development opportunities; (c) seek extensions of time to pay liabilities; or (d) seek protection from creditors.

 

In addition, if we are unable to generate adequate cash from operations, and if we are unable to find sources of funding, it may be necessary for us to sell all or a portion of our assets, enter into a business combination, or reduce or eliminate operations. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our shareholders or that result in our shareholders losing all of their investment in our Company.

 

Cash provided by financing activities for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2025 totaled $1,791,040. Such amount was from our Regulation A+ equity crowdfunding.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholders’ equity or that are not reflected in our financial statements.  Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

 

Trends

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024, the Company’s most significant developments were financial and clinical in nature. The Company successfully completed its Phase 1 clinical trial of CYT-108 in April 2025, providing important safety and tolerability data that has de-risked the development program and supports progression into a planned Phase 1b/2a study. In parallel, the Company conducted a larger Regulation A+ financing in 2025, which resulted in greater investment proceeds and a stronger cash position to fund operations.

 

Because the Company remains in clinical development, it does not generate revenues from product sales, and traditional production, sales, and inventory metrics are not applicable. Instead, management evaluates progress through research and development milestones, regulatory interactions, and access to capital.

 

60

 

 

Research and development expenses increased in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting continued clinical operations, regulatory consulting, and manufacturing activities related to CYT-108. General and administrative expenses remained relatively stable, although investor relations and marketing costs increased in connection with the larger Regulation A+ offering.

 

Looking forward, management expects research and development costs to rise further as the Company advances CYT-108 into the next stage of clinical testing. The Company anticipates additional financing will be required to support the Phase 1b/2a study and subsequent development activities. Key uncertainties that may materially affect future operating results include the timing and outcome of FDA regulatory review, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital on favorable terms, and broader conditions in the biotechnology and capital markets.

Stock Options

 

In April 2007, the Company’s shareholders adopted the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), providing for the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards to employees, non-employee service providers and Board members. Stock options granted under the 2007 Plan may include non-statutory stock options as well as incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Awards under the 2007 Plan may be granted only during the ten years immediately following the effective date of the plan.

 

During 2018, the Company’s Board adopted the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), as amended on May 25, 2021, effectively replacing the 2007 Plan, to provide for the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of stock through the grant of stock options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units.

 

In January 2023, the Company granted options to three board directors to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, having a grant date fair value of $0.501 per stock option, which vested 12,500 per quarter (fully vested as of December 31, 2023) and are exercisable over five years.

In October 2024, the Company granted options to five medical advisory board members to purchase an aggregate of 1,207,510 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.21 per share, having a grant date fair value of $0.686 per stock option, or $828,010, which vest 75,469 per quarter and are exercisable over five years.

Provisions of Note in Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Provisions of our amended and restated articles and our amended and restated bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, open market purchases, removal of incumbent directors and otherwise. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

Vacancies. Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors on the Board.

 

Bylaws. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws authorizes the board of directors to adopt, repeal, rescind, alter or amend our bylaws without shareholder approval.

 

74

 

 

Removal. Except as otherwise provided, a director may be removed from office only by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote.

 

Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time only by the Board.

 

Effects of authorized but unissued Common Stock and blank check Preferred Stock. One of the effects of the existence of authorized but unissued Common Stock and undesignated Preferred Stock may be to enable our board of directors to make more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of management. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover transaction by diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise.

 

In addition, our amended and restated articles of incorporation grants our board of directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock. The issuance of shares of Preferred Stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of Common Stock. The issuance also may adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of those holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our Company.

 

Disclosure of commission position on indemnification for securities liabilities

 

The Company’s Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the provisions of Florida Law, contain provisions which allow the corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against liabilities and other expenses incurred as the result of defending or administering any pending or anticipated legal issue in connection with service to the Company if it is determined that person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed was in the best interest of the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, may be unenforceable.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of:

Cytonics Corporation:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cytonics Corporation and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $4,526,921 and net cash used in operations of $3,042,437 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company also had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2024 of $29,245,962. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s Plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Valuation of Stock Options

 

As described in Footnote 3 “Stock-based Compensation Expense”, Footnote 5 “2024 Note” and Footnote 7 “Stockholders” Equity, to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded $1,202,051 stock-based compensation expense for compensatory stock option grants in year 2024 and grants in previous years and $28,876 of a debt discount for stock options issued with debt, to certain employees and debt holders, respectively and recorded , $19,464 for common shares granted to a consultant for services. The Company had to obtain a valuation of the business which was then allocated to the various classes of capital stock outstanding in order to determine the value of the common stock on the grant dates. This common stock value was then used to value the common shares issued for services and used in a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the value of the options on the grant or issuance dates.

 

We identified the valuation of the stock options as a critical audit matter. Auditing management’s valuation of stock options involved a high degree of subjectivity.

 

The primary procedures we performed to address these critical audit matters included (a) reviewed management’s process for valuing the business and the stock options, (b) determined whether the valuation method management selected was reasonable by comparing it to generally accepted methodologies for valuing a business and stock options, (c) tested management’s valuation of the business and stock options by testing assumptions and data used in the valuation models, and (d) recomputed the stock options valuations. We agreed with management’s final conclusions with regard to the stock options valuation.

CYTONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

NOTE 1        NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Cytonics Corporation (the “Company”) is a research and development company that develops therapies and diagnostics for back and joint pain, which it then licenses to unrelated third parties. The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida under the name Gamma Spine, Inc. on July 19, 2006 and was renamed Cytonics Corporation on April 17, 2007.

 

NOTE 2        GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sustained a net loss of $4,526,921 and had net cash used in operating activities of $3,042,437. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $29,225,962. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

 

To date, the Company has funded its research and development and operating activities through sales of debt and equity securities, grant funding, and revenues generated from the licensing of its products. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received proceeds of $3,377,794, net of direct offering costs, from the sale of Series-C Preferred Shares, $1,500,000 from the issuance of common shares and options, and $100,000 from the issuance of contingently convertible notes payable.

 

Management’s plans regarding these matters include the raising of additional funding through investments by strategic partners and from private and public sales of securities to fund its operations and its research and development activities. The Company expects to incur net losses until such time it develops biopharmaceuticals and medical devices with the intent of licensing or selling the related intellectual property, or alternatively, until it successfully merges with another operating entity. The Company’s ability to continue its operations is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or other sources; however, financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy, and the Company may be forced to curtail or cease operations.

 

The outcome of management’s plans cannot be determined with any degree of certainty. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 — ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

 

Foreign Currency

 

The functional and reporting currency of our wholly-owned subsidiary is the Australian Dollar (AUD), which is the primary currency in which it operates. Since the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, the Company recognizes a cumulative translation adjustment created by the different exchange rates applied to current period income or loss and the balance sheet. For the Australian subsidiary, we utilize the average (of the beginning and end of the year) functional exchange rate to translate its statements of operations, the year end functional exchange rate to translate its balance sheet and the specific historical functional exchange rate to translate equity transactions.

 

F-8

 

 

CYTONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are a result of the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the AUD, the functional currency of our subsidiary. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in Other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a net foreign currency transaction gain(loss) of $(9) and $119, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates include the allowance for credit losses, fair value of stock-based compensation, and the fair value of stock options issued with convertible notes and notes payable.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cytonics Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary Cytonics Australia Pty Ltd. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 825-10, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company classifies assets and liabilities recorded at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

 

  Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The Company adopted ASC 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” on January 1, 2023. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable and other receivables in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries under the current expected credit loss method. Accounts receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company estimates the collectability of its receivables and establishes allowances for the amount of accounts receivable that the Company estimates to be uncollectible. The Company bases these allowances on its historical collection experience, the length of time accounts receivables are outstanding, the financial condition of individual customers, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. An individual balance is charged to the allowance when all collection efforts have been exhausted and it is deemed likely to be uncollectible, taking into consideration the financial condition of the customer and other factors. At December 31, 2024 and 2023 no allowance for credit losses relating to the Company’s accounts receivable was deemed necessary. Accounts receivables that are expected to be received within the period of one year are classified as current. Non-current account receivables are receivables outstanding and expected to be received after the period of one year and are reflected at their present value using a discount rate of 5%.

 

Australian Goods and Services Tax (“GST”)

 

Revenues, expenses and balance sheet items are recognized net of the amount of GST, except payable and receivable balances which are shown inclusive of GST. The GST incurred is payable on revenues to, and recoverable on purchases from, the Australian Taxation Office.

 

Cash flows are presented in the statements of cash flow on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company was owed $53,127 and $17,514, respectively, from the Australian Taxation Office, which is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets include seven U.S. patents (US 10,265,388, US 11,040,092, US 10,940,189, US 9,352,021, US 9,498,514, US 10,400,028, US 10,889,631), three U.K. patents (GB2501611, GB2503131, and GB2522561), two European patents (EP 2827882 and EP 3221341; each of which is validated in FR, DE, and GB), one Canadian patent (CA 2865170), two Australian patents (AU 2013222414, AU 2015349782), and one Japanese patent (JP 6861152). The Company also has five additional related pending patent applications. The cost of issued patents is capitalized and amortized over the life of the patents, which is 20 years from the earliest filing date of the non-provisional or PCT application to which priority is claimed. The costs of patent in development are expensed as they are incurred. The unamortized costs associated with previously capitalized patents that have expired or been abandoned are written off.

 

The Company assesses potential impairments of its intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating results. The Company had no impairment of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASC also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer purchase orders, including significant judgments.

The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. This occurs with the transfer of control or access to the Company’s licenses or the performance of services. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in the contract. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Contracts with customers consist of licensing arrangements and, optionally, research and development-related services. Revenues from licensing and royalty fees are received from the granting of exclusive sales, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution rights associated with the Company’s functional intellectual property (IP). The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time (upon delivery to the customer) where the Company has no remaining obligation to support or maintain the intellectual property licensed to the customer. The Company typically requires a non-refundable license fee, paid over several years, and quarterly royalty payments based on a percentage of sales, subject to minimum guaranteed quarterly royalty amounts. For contracts whereby customer payments shall be received over time, at the time of contract execution, the Company applies an implied discount to the license fees in order to calculate the net present value of the contractual payments.

 

Revenue from license fees is recognized at a point in time when the Company transfers the functional IP to the customer, as long as management believes the total consideration owed by the customer for the license fee is probable to be received. Due to the financing component embedded in the license fee, the Company records the revenue and accounts receivable at their net present value using an estimated discount rate at the point in time when the performance obligation associated with the license fee has been completed. Management applies a discount rate that reflects the customers’ creditworthiness and the amount that would have been received from the customer if the license fee was paid upon execution of the contract. The effect of the financing component is subsequently recognized as interest income over the payment term.

 

Minimum guaranteed royalty (MGR) payments are not binding and are considered to be contingent on the customers’ ability to generate sales. The Company’s contracts include termination clauses for nonpayment by customers or mutual agreement. The termination clauses are likely to be triggered if the customer is unable to make the MGRs. The Company has historically made price concessions when needed by customers. Given the contractual nature of the MGRs and customary business practices, the Company recognizes revenue from MGRs pursuant to ASC 606-10-55-65 guidance for a sales-based or usage-based royalty, which requires recognition for a sales-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property only when (or as) the later of the following events occurs:

 

  a. The subsequent sale or usage occurs.
  b. The performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

 

The Company recognizes revenue from MGRs when they become due under the terms of the contract and the consideration has been received or is expected to be received.

 

Licenses and royalties due under the contract not yet received have been reflected as accounts receivable on the balance sheets, net of any implied discounts to net present value.

 

Except for the estimate of the discount rate applied to license fees to be received over a period of years, the Company’s contracts do not include multiple performance obligations or variable consideration. Since the Company’s revenue is generated from a small number of customer contracts, it does not have material contract assets or liabilities.

During 2020, the Company received consideration from a customer in connection with the granting of exclusive sales, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution rights associated with the Company’s functional intellectual property. The executed contract required a $450,000 nonrefundable license fee from the customer, payable to the Company as follows: (i) $50,000 upon execution of the contract in May 2020; and (ii) $80,000 on January 1 of each of the next five years through 2025. In the event the contract is terminated prior to its ten-year term, the customer is required to pay a portion of the license fee based on a sliding scale and the year of termination. On January 1, 2024, the customer failed to make the $80,000 installment payment due. Subsequently, on July 19, 2024, the contract was amended whereby the customer agreed to immediately make the past due $80,000 installment payment, which it did pay to the Company, and the Company waived the final $80,000 installment due January 1, 2025, which was recorded as a provision for credit losses and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In addition, the monthly royalty was decreased from $21,667 per month to $15,000 per month for the remainder of the contract through 2029.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the remaining nonrefundable fee due from the customer was $0. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining nonrefundable fee due from the customer was $156,161, of which $80,000 was included in accounts receivable and $76,161, net of a $3,809 discount, was included in accounts receivable, non-current.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized revenue from license fees and MGRs of $306,669 and $417,500, respectively, which is presented on the statement of operations as license and royalty revenues.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. For stock-based awards to employees, non-employees and directors, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes variables such as the expected volatility of the Company’s share price, the exercise behavior of its grantees, interest rates, and dividend yields. These variables are projected based on the Company’s historical data, experience, and other factors. In the case of awards with multiple vesting periods, the Company has elected to use the graded vesting attribution method, which recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company enters into consulting, research, and other agreements with commercial entities, researchers, universities, and others for the provision of goods and services. The Company’s research and development expenses involves costs associated with (i) entering R&D collaboration agreements with third party contractors to manufacture and develop Cyt-108 through upcoming clinical trials; and (ii) other costs incurred in the development of intellectual property. The third party contractors include, but are not limited to, contract research organizations, contract drug manufacturing organizations, investigational sites and consultants. Costs incurred in connection with research and development activities are expensed as incurred.

 

In accordance with ASC 730-10, “Research and Development-Overall,” research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Total research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $2,365,928 (net of a tax credit of $293,488 – see below) and $1,497,236, of which $1,231,357 and $157,859, respectively, was incurred by the Australian subsidiary.

The Company may apply for research and development tax concessions with the Australian Taxation Office, under the Research and Development Tax Incentive (“RDTI”) Program, on an annual basis. Although the amount is possible to estimate at year end, the Australian Taxation Office may reject or materially alter the claim amount. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize the benefit of the claim amount until cash receipt since collectability is not certain until such time. The tax concession is a refundable credit. If the Company has net income, then the Company can receive the credit which reduces its income tax liability. If the Company has net losses, then the Company may still receive a cash payment for the credit, however, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are reduced by the gross equivalent loss that would produce the credit amount when the income tax rate is applied to that gross amount. The concession is recognized as a tax benefit, in operations, upon receipt. Under the RDTI Program, up to 43.5% of R&D expenditures may be reimbursed in the form of cash.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company applied for, and received from the Australian Taxation Office, a research and development tax credit in the amount of $293,488, which is reflected as a reduction in research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares issued during the year are weighted for the portion of the year that they were outstanding. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic earnings per share while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

 

The computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.

 

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

 

   For the Years Ended

Options   7,762,401    4,407,076

Total potentially dilutive shares   22,824,069    16,508,562 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires, among other things, recognition of future tax benefits and liabilities measured at enacted rates attributable to temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and to net tax operating loss carryforwards to the extent that realization of these benefits is more likely than not. The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of its net deferred tax assets. The Company’s policy is to account for interest and penalties relating to income taxes, if any, in “income tax expense” in its consolidated statements of operations and include accrued interest and penalties within “accrued liabilities” in its consolidated balance sheets, if applicable. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no income tax related interest or penalties were assessed or recorded.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments that have been excluded from the determination of net income (loss).

Segment reporting

 

The Company operates as a single operating segment as a research and development company that is developing therapies and diagnostics for back and joint pain. In accordance with ASC 280 – “Segment Reporting”, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report annually selected segment information and entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similarities in economic characteristics such as nature of services; and procurement processes. All revenues and expenses as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and all assets and liabilities as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are allocated to the one segment.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for: (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature; and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, the Company will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, we will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. We expect the elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for the Company’s convertible instruments falling under the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. ASU 2020-06 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2024. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts receivable. ASU No. 2016-13 will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. On November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date of Topic 326 for certain small public companies and other private companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC’s definition, as well as private companies and not-for-profit entities. ASU 2016-13 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires entities to provide more detailed disaggregation of expenses in the income statement, focusing on the nature of the expenses rather than their function. The new disclosures will require entities to separately present expenses for significant line items, including but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and employee compensation. Entities will also be required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 4 — DEPOSIT

 

In December 2023, the Company contracted with Southern Star Research (“Southern Star”), an Australian Contract Research Organization (“CRO”), for research and development services related to the Phase 1 clinical trial. Southern Star required a deposit equal to 20% of the statement of work (totaling approximately 1,5000,000 AUD). The research and development services are expected to be completed in 2025, at which time the deposit shall be utilized to pay any remaining amounts due under the statement of work, with and any remaining deposit returned to the Company. Accordingly, the Company provided Southern Star with a deposit of $204,754 and $204,531, which is reflected as a non-current asset on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and 2024, respectively.

2022 Notes

 

During 2022, the Company issued promissory notes in the principal amount of $360,000 (collectively referred to as the “2022 Notes”) with applicable interest per annum ranging from 15% to 20%.

 

The 2022 Notes are due at the earlier of the close of a qualified equity financing or one year from the date of the note (“Maturity Date”). Qualified equity financing is defined as when the Company issues and sells shares of its equity securities to investors prior to the Maturity Date in an equity financing of not less than $1.5 or $2.0 million. Upon Qualified equity financing, the outstanding principal amount plus interest, as if the loan were being repaid on the Maturity Date. (e.g., if the principal amount of the Note is $100,000, then upon a qualified financing the holder shall be repaid $115,000, which is inclusive of all accrued interest of 15%), would be due and payable.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the remaining principal amount of $60,000 and accrued interest of $9,000 was repaid in cash and the remaining unamortized debt discount of $3,571 was expensed to interest expense.

 

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the outstanding principal on the 2022 Notes was $0. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, outstanding interest on the 2022 Notes was $0.

 

2023 Notes

 

During October 31, 2023 through December 21, 2023, the Company issued convertible promissory notes having an aggregate face value of $245,000 along with 5-year stock options to purchase an aggregate of 245,000 common shares at $2.30 per share in exchange for proceeds of $245,000. As a result of the issuance of the common stock options, an aggregate amount of $72,217 of debt discount was recorded with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital based on the relative fair value method.

 

2024 Note

 

On January 11, 2024, the Company issued a convertible promissory note having a face value of $100,000 (the “2024 Note”) along with 5-year stock options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 common shares at $2.30 per share in exchange for proceeds of $100,000. As a result of the issuance of the common stock options, $28,876 of debt discount was recorded with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital based on the relative fair value method.

 

The 2023 and 2024 convertible notes bear interest at 15% per annum. All unpaid outstanding principal and interest are due in two years from the respective date of each note.

 

If the Company issues and sells Equity Securities in which the Company receives gross proceeds of $2,000,000 or more (a “Qualified Financing”), then the 2023 Notes and Full Interest (i.e., 24 months of interest as if the loan was repaid on the maturity date) will automatically convert into Equity Securities upon consummation of the Qualified Financing at a 20% discount to the Equity Securities share price.

 

If the Company issues and sells Equity Securities in which the Company receives gross proceeds of $2,000,000 or more (a “Qualified Financing”), then 50% of the 2024 Note and 50% of the Full Interest (i.e., 24 months of interest as if the loan was repaid on the maturity date) will automatically convert into Equity Securities upon consummation of the Qualified Financing at a 20% discount to the Equity Securities share price.

 

At any time after 12 months from the issue date, the Company has the right to prepay the note whereby the Holder will be entitled to receive their principal plus Full Interest. Prior to repayment, the investors shall be given a 10-day notice and the option to convert the outstanding principal amount of the 2023 Notes plus the Full Interest at a 20% discount to the current share price of $2.30 per share of Preferred Series C Stock.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $17.9 million and $16.1 million, respectively, of which $9.4 million does not expire, but is instead limited to 80% of taxable income in the year utilized. The remaining loss carryforwards expire at various dates through 2037. These net operating loss carryforwards may be used to offset future taxable income and thereby reduce the Company’s U.S. federal income taxes. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) imposes an annual limit on the ability of a corporation that undergoes a greater than 50% ownership change to use its net operating loss carry forwards to reduce its tax liability. If in the future the Company issues common stock or additional equity instruments convertible in common shares which result in an ownership change exceeding the 50% limitation threshold imposed by Section 382 of the Code, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be significantly limited as to the amount of use in a particular year. In addition, all or a portion of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may expire unutilized.

 

For U.S. purposes, the Company has not completed its evaluation of NOL utilization limitations under Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”) Section 382/383, change of ownership rules. If the Company has had a change in ownership, the NOL’s would be limited as to the amount that could be utilized each year, based on the Code or might be eliminated.

 

The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, since in the opinion of management based upon the earnings history of the Company; it is more likely than not that the benefits of these assets will not be realized.

 

The Company complies with the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 in accounting for its uncertain tax positions. ASC 740-10 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely that not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Management has determined that the Company has no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition under ASC 740-10.

 

The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S., and certain state jurisdictions. The Company has not been audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or any states in connection with income taxes. The Company’s tax years generally remain open to examination for all federal and state tax matters until its net operating loss carryforwards are utilized and the applicable statutes of limitation have expired. The federal and state tax authorities can generally reduce a net operating loss (but not create taxable income) for a period outside the statute of limitations in order to determine the correct amount of net operating loss which may be allowed as a deduction against income for a period within the statute of limitations.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if incurred, as a component of income tax expense.

NOTE 1        NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Cytonics Corporation (the “Company”) is a research and development company that develops therapies and diagnostics for back and joint pain, which it then licenses to unrelated third parties. The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida under the name Gamma Spine, Inc. on July 19, 2006 and was renamed Cytonics Corporation on April 17, 2007.

 

NOTE 2        GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sustained a net loss of $4,420,243 and had net cash used in operating activities of $1,651,711. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $33,646,205. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

 

To date, the Company has funded its research and development and operating activities through sales of debt and equity securities, grant funding, and revenues generated from royalties for the licensing of its products. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received proceeds of $1,762,038, net of direct offering costs, from the sale of common shares and warrants.

 

Management’s plans regarding these matters include the raising of additional funding through investments by strategic partners and from private and public sales of securities to fund its operations and its research and development activities. The Company expects to incur net losses until such time it develops biopharmaceuticals and medical devices with the intent of licensing or selling the related intellectual property, or alternatively, until it successfully merges with another operating entity. The Company’s ability to continue its operations is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or other sources; however, financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy, and the Company may be forced to curtail or cease operations.

 

The outcome of management’s plans cannot be determined with any degree of certainty. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 — ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2025 have been made. The Company’s results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The December 31, 2024 balance sheet is derived from those statements.

 

F-6

 

 

Foreign Currency

 

The functional and reporting currency of our wholly-owned subsidiary is the Australian Dollar (AUD), which is the primary currency in which it operates. Since the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, the Company recognizes a cumulative translation adjustment created by the different exchange rates applied to current period income or loss and the balance sheet. For the Australian subsidiary, we utilize the average (of the beginning and end of the year) functional exchange rate to translate its statements of operations, the year end functional exchange rate to translate its balance sheet and the specific historical functional exchange rate to translate equity transactions.

 

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are a result of the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the AUD, the functional currency of our subsidiary. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in Other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a net foreign currency transaction gain(loss) of $(1,141) and $12, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates include the allowance for credit losses, fair value of stock-based compensation, the fair value of stock options issued with convertible notes and notes payable, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cytonics Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary Cytonics Australia Pty Ltd. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 825-10, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk.

 

Reclassifications  

 

Certain amounts in the accompanying 2024 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2025 presentation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company classifies assets and liabilities recorded at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

F-7

 

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The Company adopted ASC 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” on January 1, 2023. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable and other receivables in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries under the current expected credit loss method. Accounts receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company estimates the collectability of its receivables and establishes allowances for the amount of accounts receivable that the Company estimates to be uncollectible. The Company bases these allowances on its historical collection experience, the length of time accounts receivables are outstanding, the financial condition of individual customers, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. An individual balance is charged to the allowance when all collection efforts have been exhausted and it is deemed likely to be uncollectible, taking into consideration the financial condition of the customer and other factors. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no allowance for credit losses relating to the Company’s accounts receivable was deemed necessary. Accounts receivables that are expected to be received within the period of one year are classified as current. Non-current account receivables are receivables outstanding and expected to be received after the period of one year and are reflected at their present value using a discount rate of 5%.

 

Australian Goods and Services Tax (“GST”)

 

Revenues, expenses and balance sheet items are recognized net of the amount of GST, except payable and receivable balances which are shown inclusive of GST. The GST incurred is payable on revenues to, and recoverable on purchases from, the Australian Taxation Office.

 

Cash flows are presented in the statements of cash flow on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

 

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was owed $9,425 and 53,127, respectively, from the Australian Taxation Office, which is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets include seven U.S. patents (US 10,265,388, US 11,040,092, US 10,940,189, US 9,352,021, US 9,498,514, US 10,400,028, US 10,889,631), three U.K. patents (GB2501611, GB2503131, and GB2522561), two European patents (EP 2827882 and EP 3221341; each of which is validated in FR, DE, and GB), one Canadian patent (CA 2865170), two Australian patents (AU 2013222414, AU 2015349782), and one Japanese patent (JP 6861152). The Company also has five additional related pending patent applications. The cost of issued patents is capitalized and amortized over the life of the patents, which is 20 years from the earliest filing date of the non-provisional or PCT application to which priority is claimed. The costs of patent in development are expensed as they are incurred. The unamortized costs associated with previously capitalized patents that have expired or been abandoned are written off.

 

The Company assesses potential impairments of its intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating results. The Company had no impairment of intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

F-8

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASC also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer purchase orders, including significant judgments.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. This occurs with the transfer of control or access to the Company’s licenses or the performance of services. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in the contract. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Contracts with customers consist of licensing arrangements and, optionally, research and development-related services. Revenues from licensing and royalty fees are received from the granting of exclusive sales, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution rights associated with the Company’s functional intellectual property (IP). The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time (upon delivery to the customer) where the Company has no remaining obligation to support or maintain the intellectual property licensed to the customer. The Company typically requires a non-refundable license fee, paid over several years, and quarterly royalty payments based on a percentage of sales, subject to minimum guaranteed quarterly royalty amounts. For contracts whereby customer payments shall be received over time, at the time of contract execution, the Company applies an implied discount to the license fees in order to calculate the net present value of the contractual payments.

 

Revenue from license fees is recognized at a point in time when the Company transfers the functional IP to the customer, as long as management believes the total consideration owed by the customer for the license fee is probable to be received. Due to the financing component embedded in the license fee, the Company records the revenue and accounts receivable at their net present value using an estimated discount rate at the point in time when the performance obligation associated with the license fee has been completed. Management applies a discount rate that reflects the customers’ creditworthiness and the amount that would have been received from the customer if the license fee was paid upon execution of the contract. The effect of the financing component is subsequently recognized as interest income over the payment term.

 

Minimum guaranteed royalty (MGR) payments are not binding and are considered to be contingent on the customers’ ability to generate sales. The Company’s contracts include termination clauses for nonpayment by customers or mutual agreement. The termination clauses are likely to be triggered if the customer is unable to make the MGRs. The Company has historically made price concessions when needed by customers. Given the contractual nature of the MGRs and customary business practices, the Company recognizes revenue from MGRs pursuant to ASC 606-10-55-65 guidance for a sales-based or usage-based royalty, which requires recognition for a sales-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property only when (or as) the later of the following events occurs:

 

  a. The subsequent sale or usage occurs.
  b. The performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

 

The Company recognizes revenue from MGRs when they become due under the terms of the contract and the consideration has been received or is expected to be received.

 

Licenses and royalties due under the contract not yet received have been reflected as accounts receivable on the balance sheets, net of any implied discounts to net present value.

 

Except for the estimate of the discount rate applied to license fees to be received over a period of years, the Company’s contracts do not include multiple performance obligations or variable consideration. Since the Company’s revenue is generated from a small number of customer contracts, it does not have material contract assets or liabilities.

 

F-9

 

 

During 2020, the Company received consideration from a customer in connection with the granting of exclusive sales, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution rights associated with the Company’s functional intellectual property. The executed contract required a $450,000 nonrefundable license fee from the customer, payable to the Company as follows: (i) $50,000 upon execution of the contract in May 2020; and (ii) $80,000 on January 1 of each of the next five years through 2025. In the event the contract is terminated prior to its ten-year term, the customer is required to pay a portion of the license fee based on a sliding scale and the year of termination. On January 1, 2024, the customer failed to make the $80,000 installment payment due. Subsequently, on July 19, 2024, the contract was amended whereby the customer agreed to immediately make the past due $80,000 installment payment, which it did pay to the Company, and the Company waived the final $80,000 installment due January 1, 2025, which was recorded as a provision for credit losses and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In addition, the monthly royalty was decreased from $21,667 per month to $15,000 per month for the remainder of the contract through 2029.

 

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the remaining nonrefundable fee due from the customer was $0.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized revenue from MGRs of $130,000 and $170,002, respectively, which is presented on the statement of operations as royalty revenues.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. For stock-based awards to employees, non-employees and directors, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes variables such as the expected volatility of the Company’s share price, the exercise behavior of its grantees, interest rates, and dividend yields. These variables are projected based on the Company’s historical data, experience, and other factors. In the case of awards with multiple vesting periods, the Company has elected to use the graded vesting attribution method, which recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company enters into consulting, research, and other agreements with commercial entities, researchers, universities, and others for the provision of goods and services. The Company’s research and development expenses involves costs associated with (i) entering R&D collaboration agreements with third party contractors to manufacture and develop Cyt-108 through upcoming clinical trials; and (ii) other costs incurred in the development of intellectual property. The third party contractors include, but are not limited to, contract research organizations, contract drug manufacturing organizations, investigational sites and consultants. Costs incurred in connection with research and development activities are expensed as incurred.

 

In accordance with ASC 730-10, “Research and Development-Overall,” research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Total research and development costs for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $1,755,584 and $819,724, of which $380,656 and $819,724, respectively, was incurred by the Australian subsidiary.

 

F-10

 

 

The Company may apply for research and development tax concessions with the Australian Taxation Office, under the Research and Development Tax Incentive (“RDTI”) Program, on an annual basis. Although the amount is possible to estimate at year end, the Australian Taxation Office may reject or materially alter the claim amount. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize the benefit of the claim amount until cash receipt since collectability is not certain until such time. The tax concession is a refundable credit. If the Company has net income, then the Company can receive the credit which reduces its income tax liability. If the Company has net losses, then the Company may still receive a cash payment for the credit, however, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are reduced by the gross equivalent loss that would produce the credit amount when the income tax rate is applied to that gross amount. The concession is recognized as a tax benefit, in operations, upon receipt. Under the RDTI Program, up to 43.5% of R&D expenditures may be reimbursed in the form of cash.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 (the fiscal year end for the subsidiary), the Australian subsidiary incurred an aggregate of $380,656 of research and development expenditures.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares issued during the year are weighted for the portion of the year that they were outstanding. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic earnings per share while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

 

The computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.

 

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

 

   For the Six Months Ended 
   June 30, 
   2025   2024 
Options   10,510,494    6,854,891 
Convertible preferred shares   15,061,668    14,530,366 
Total potentially dilutive shares   25,572,162    21,385,257 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires, among other things, recognition of future tax benefits and liabilities measured at enacted rates attributable to temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and to net tax operating loss carryforwards to the extent that realization of these benefits is more likely than not. The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of its net deferred tax assets. The Company’s policy is to account for interest and penalties relating to income taxes, if any, in “income tax expense” in its consolidated statements of operations and include accrued interest and penalties within “accrued liabilities” in its consolidated balance sheets, if applicable. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no income tax related interest or penalties were assessed or recorded.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments that have been excluded from the determination of net income (loss).

Segment reporting

 

The Company operates as a single operating segment as a research and development company that is developing therapies and diagnostics for back and joint pain. In accordance with ASC 280 – “Segment Reporting”, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report annually selected segment information and entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similarities in economic characteristics such as nature of services; and procurement processes. All revenues and expenses as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and all assets and liabilities as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are allocated to the one segment.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for: (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature; and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, the Company will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, we will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. We expect the elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for the Company’s convertible instruments falling under the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. ASU 2020-06 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2024. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts receivable. ASU No. 2016-13 will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. On November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date of Topic 326 for certain small public companies and other private companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC’s definition, as well as private companies and not-for-profit entities. ASU 2016-13 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires entities to provide more detailed disaggregation of expenses in the income statement, focusing on the nature of the expenses rather than their function. The new disclosures will require entities to separately present expenses for significant line items, including but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and employee compensation. Entities will also be required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 4 — DEPOSIT

 

In December 2023, the Company contracted with Southern Star Research (“Southern Star”), an Australian Contract Research Organization (“CRO”), for research and development services related to the Phase 1 clinical trial. Southern Star required a deposit equal to 20% of the statement of work (totaling approximately 1,5000,000 AUD). The research and development services are expected to be completed in 2025, at which time the deposit shall be utilized to pay any remaining amounts due under the statement of work, with and any remaining deposit returned to the Company. Accordingly, the Company provided Southern Star with a deposit of $197,520 and $204,754, which is reflected as a non-current asset on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

As a result of the issuance of the common stock options, an aggregate amount of $72,217 of debt discount was recorded with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital based on the relative fair value method.

 

2024 Note

 

On January 11, 2024, the Company issued a convertible promissory note having a face value of $100,000 (the “2024 Note") along with 5-year stock options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 common shares at $2.30 per share in exchange for proceeds of $100,000. As a result of the issuance of the common stock options, $28,876 of debt discount was recorded with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital based on the relative fair value method.

 

The 2023 and 2024 convertible notes bear interest at 15% per annum. All unpaid outstanding principal and interest are due in two years from the respective date of each note.

 

If the Company issues and sells Equity Securities in which the Company receives gross proceeds of $2,000,000 or more (a "Qualified Financing”), then the 2023 Notes and Full Interest (i.e., 24 months of interest as if the loan was repaid on the maturity date) will automatically convert into Equity Securities upon consummation of the Qualified Financing at a 20% discount to the Equity Securities share price.

 

If the Company issues and sells Equity Securities in which the Company receives gross proceeds of $2,000,000 or more (a "Qualified Financing”), then 50% of the 2024 Note and 50% of the Full Interest (i.e., 24 months of interest as if the loan was repaid on the maturity date) will automatically convert into Equity Securities upon consummation of the Qualified Financing at a 20% discount to the Equity Securities share price.

 

At any time after 12 months from the issue date, the Company has the right to prepay the note whereby the Holder will be entitled to receive their principal plus Full Interest. Prior to repayment, the investors shall be given a 10-day notice and the option to convert the outstanding principal amount of the 2023 Notes plus the Full Interest at a 20% discount to the current share price of $2.30 per share of Preferred Series C Stock.

 

A Qualified Financing occurred on May 28, 2024. As a result, in June 2024, the Company repaid $50,000 of principal and $15,000 of interest (Full Interest on the $50,000 of principal) in cash. In addition, $295,000 of principal and $88,500 of accrued interest (Full Interest on the $295,000 of principal) was converted into an aggregate of 208,422 shares of Preferred Series C Stock.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company amortized $0 and $106,575 of debt discount to interest expense, and recognized $0 and $99,265 of interest expense, respectively, in the statements of operations. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the convertible notes was $0.

 

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
