This Offering Circular conforms to SEC Form 1-A.
Kurve Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Kurve” or the “Issuer”) is a Delaware corporation, originally formed on November 21, 2019 by filing Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Delaware. The Company registered as a foreign corporation with the Washington Secretary of State on December 3, 2019. (see Exhibit 2 “Articles of Incorporation and Certificate of Registration”). The Company is offering (the “Offering”) by means of this offering circular (the “Offering Circular”) Company equity in the form of common stock denominated in shares (the “Shares”) on a “best efforts” and ongoing basis to investors who meet the suitability standards as set forth herein. (See “Investor Suitability Standards” in the “Summary” below.) The Company will offer Shares through kurvetx.com (“Platform”), and through Rialto Markets, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer entitled to commissions upon the sale of the Shares. (See the “Terms of the Offering” below.) Persons who purchase Shares will be shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders” or “Investors”). The Company has two main products. The first product is Intrulinâ, Kurve intranasal insulin, which is a drug the Company is developing to combat cognitive aging, neurodegenerative diseases and related disorders. The second product is the Company’s patented Controlled Particle Dispersion® (“CPD”) technology, an intranasal delivery system. ViaNaseâ is the brand name for the product/device that utilizes the CPD technology. For purposes of this Offering Circular, the Intrulin and ViaNase will be referred herein as the “Products” – however, these are more accurately referred to as “product candidates” since both are still subject to FDA approval/authorization and have not been cleared for commercial use. See “Risk Factors” and “Description of the Business” below.
The Company intends to use the Proceeds of this Offering to (1) Complete the purchase of select intellectual property from Kurve Technology, Inc. (through Savile Therapeutics, Inc.).; (2) Design, develop, and execute human clinical trials for the Company’s Products; (3) Develop relationships with select producers of CNS drugs for potential licensing relationships; (4) Expand research and development activities for the Company’s Products; (5) Gain FDA Approval/authorization for the Company’s Products; (6) Marketing the Offering and the Company’s Products; (7) Selling Shareholders.
The minimum investment amount per Investor is five hundred eighty dollars ($580.00), representing one hundred (100) Shares at five dollars and eighty cents ($5.80) per Share. Although the Company does not intend to list the Shares for trading on any exchange or other trading market.
The Company is a run by a board of directors, comprised of two (2) directors (the “Board” collectively, “Director” when referring to a director). The day-to-day management and investment decisions of the Company are vested in the Board and in the Officer.
Sales of the Shares pursuant to the Offering will commence immediately upon qualification of the Offering by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Effective Date”) and will terminate at the discretion of the Board or twelve (12) months following the Effective Date, whichever is earlier. The maximum amount of the Offering shall not exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in any twelve (12) month period (“Maximum Offering Amount”) in accordance with Tier II of Regulation A as set forth under the Securities Act of 1933, as , (“Reg A Tier II” or “Tier II”). The Company intends to offer the Shares described herein on a continuous and ongoing basis pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3)(i)(F). Further, the acceptance of Investor subscriptions, may be briefly paused at times to allow the Company to effectively and accurately process and settle subscriptions that have been received. (See “Terms of the Offering” below.) The Company reserves the right to increase the Maximum Offering Amount at any time before the termination of the Offering, subject to qualification by the SEC of a post-qualification amendment.
Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Shares, and none is expected to develop. The Offering price is arbitrary and does not bear any relationship to the value of the assets of the Company. The Company does not currently have plans to list any Shares on any securities market, however it reserves the right to do so in the future. Investing in the Company through the purchase of Shares involves risks, some of which are set forth below. See the section titled “Risk Factors” to read about the factors an Investor should consider prior to purchasing Shares.
Investors who purchase Shares will become shareholders of the Company (“Investors” or “Shareholders” subject to the terms of the amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company (see Exhibit 2A, the “Certificate of Incorporation” and 2B “Bylaws”) once the Company deposits the Investor’s investment into the Company’s main operating account.
The Directors and Officers will receive compensation from the Company as employees. (See “Risk Factors” and “Compensation of Directors and Officers” below.) Investing in the Shares is speculative and involves substantial risks, including risk of complete loss. Prospective Investors should purchase these securities only if they can afford a complete loss of their investment. (See “Risk Factors” below starting on Page 4.)

The SEC requires the Company to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The Company is still subject to all the same risks that all companies in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events and technological developments (such as hacking and the ability to prevent hacking). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently riskier than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS
The Company has limited operating history.
The Company has limited established business operations, and it is unclear at this point which, if any, of the Company’s current and intended plans may come into fruition and, if they do, which ones will be a success. The Company has incurred a net loss and has recorded limited revenues since inception. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be able to establish successful business operations, become profitable or generate sufficient revenues to operate business or pay dividends.
The loss of any member of the Company’s management team or their inability to attract and retain highly skilled scientists, engineers, clinicians, and salespeople could adversely affect company business.
Company success depends on the skills, experience and performance of key members of the Company’s management team, including the Officers and Directors. The individual and collective efforts of the Officers and Directors will be essential as the Company continues to develop the Company and Products.
Company research and development and manufacturing operations depend on the Company’s ability to attract and retain highly-skilled employees including scientists, technicians and engineers. The Company may not be able to attract or retain a sufficient number of qualified highly-skilled employees in the future due to the competition for qualified personnel in the pharmaceutical/medical device industry. The Company also faces competition from universities and public and private research institutions in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel. Recruiting and retention difficulties can limit the ability to support Company. The Company also does not maintain “key person” insurance on any of Company employees.
The Company may not be able to develop commercially viable products on the anticipated timetable, or at all.
The Company’s products, namely the CPD technology and Intrulin (the “Products”), may be difficult to scale to a commercially viable level since it must meet expectations that it is equivalent or superior to the existing products in terms of efficacy, safety, and cost efficiency. The Company still needs to develop and refine the Products and the manufacturing process for its Products to ensure that the Products meets performance goals, cost targets, and regulatory approval. The Company needs to perform additional laboratory and clinical trials and may encounter problems and delays. If the clinical trials reveal technical defects or reveal that the Company’s Products do not meet performance goals and cost targets, the Company’s commercialization schedule could be delayed as the Company would need to attempt to devise solutions to the defects or problems. If the Company were unable to find solutions, the Company’s business may not be viable.
The Company may not be able to successfully execute the business plan.
In addition to the requirement to successfully develop the Products for commercial success, the Company must also raise significant amounts of capital, foster relationships with key suppliers and attract customers. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain any of the foregoing within the anticipated timeframe or at all. The Company may exceed the budget, encounter obstacles in research and development activities, or be hindered or delayed in implementing the Company’s commercialization plans, any of which could imperil the Company’s ability to secure customer contracts and begin generating revenues. In addition, any such delays or problems would require the Company to secure additional funding over and above what the Company currently anticipates they require to sustain business, which the Company may not be able to raise.
The Company has only two main product lines.
The Company’s primary products are the Intrulin and the CPD technology. Even though these are two distinct products, with disparate regulatory and design/manufacturing paths – the CPD technology is designed to deliver the Intrulin (and other Company products). The Company may sell of license the CPD technology as a delivery device for third party-developed drugs. The Company’s survival in near term depends on being able to sell these Products to a sufficient number of customers to make a profit. The Company’s current customer base is still small, and the Company will only succeed if it can attract more customers for its primary product and maintain those customers.
The Company has not yet generated significant revenues or profits and it may take a long time for the Company to become profitable.
The Company has not yet generated any significant revenue or profit and no revenue or profit from the sale of the Products. The Company does not yet have customers, since the gaining of customers is conditional upon regulatory approval/authorization of the Intrulin and CPD technology (see “Description of the Business” below). The Company hopes to obtain approval/authorization of the Products by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and other international regulatory agencies. The Company is working towards having sales of the Products, but the Company anticipates that it will take 48 months to reach a breakeven point and at least fifty-four (54) months achieve profitability, if at all.
The Company’s ability to raise capital and to commercialize the Products may be materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company’s ability to raise capital and to commercialize the Products may be materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The full impact on the economy and the capital markets in the U.S. and the rest of the world from the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain, in terms of both scale and duration. The high level of volatility in the capital markets may make it difficult to raise funds, especially for early stage companies that involve higher risk. If the Company raises sufficient funds to begin the work of commercializing Company products, the Company may have difficulty securing supplies needed or manufacturing and distribution partners. The impact of social distancing measures and related workforce reductions may negatively impact the ability of suppliers to deliver the Company to the components the Company needs for manufacture or the ability of any of the Company’s potential partners to operate effectively to meet Company requirements. In addition, many of the third parties that the Company would rely on for production and distribution are likely to be highly engaged in manufacturing products aimed at combatting the pandemic by manufacturing testing supplies and equipment, medical equipment and/or potential treatments. The Company cannot assure an investor that, should they raise sufficient funds, they will be able to contract with suppliers, manufacturing partners or distribution partners at a level that would allow the Company to achieve profitability, or at all.
The Company’s products may not achieve market acceptance thereby reducing the chance for success.
The Company is only in the early stages of selling its Products. It is unclear whether these Products or other unanticipated events may result in lower sales than anticipated, which could force the Company to limit expenditures on research and development, advertising, and general Company requirements for improving and expanding product offerings. The Company cannot guarantee consumer demand or interest in current or future product offerings, which could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations, and overall financial condition.
If the market chooses to buy competing Products, the Company may fail.
Although the Company believes that its Products will be commercially viable, there is no verification by the marketplace that the Products will be accepted by or purchased by customers at the scale desired by the Company. Even though competing drugs for Central Nervous System (“CNS”) diseases are few, the market may choose these competing drugs. If the market chooses to continue to use competing drugs, it may be more difficult for the Company to ever become profitable which would be substantially harm the business and, possibly, cause it to fail whereby the Investors could lose their entire investment. In addition to Company dependency on their continued services, Company future success will also depend on the ability to attract and retain additional future key personnel. The Company may face intense competition for such qualified individuals from well-established and better financed competitors. The Company may not be able to attract qualified new employees or retain existing employees, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
The pharmaceutical and medical device industries are subject to rapidly changing technology which could make the Products and other products the Company develops obsolete.
The Company’s industry is characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and evolving industry standards, all of which could make the Company’s Products obsolete. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to anticipate and keep pace with the evolving needs of the industry on a timely and cost-effective basis and to pursue new market opportunities that develop as a result of technological and scientific advances. The attractiveness of the Company’s Products partly depends on the ability to continue to improve the Products. Failure to deliver such improvements in the timelines suggested may affect the Company’s business plan and ability to obtain greater market penetration, or otherwise cause the Company to lose market share.
| Page 4 |
The Company will require additional funding to develop and commercialize the Products. If the Company is unable to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company may be forced to modify its current business plan or to curtail Company planned operations.
The Company anticipates incurring significant operating losses and using significant funds for the execution of the clinical trials, marketing the Products, and manufacturing capability scaling. The Company’s existing cash resources are insufficient to finance these operations. Accordingly, the Company will need to secure additional sources of capital to develop its business and the Products as planned. In the event that the Proceeds from this Offering are not sufficient to successfully commercialize the Products, the Company may seek to secure future capital. The Company may seek substantial additional financing through public and/or private financing, which may include equity and/or debt financings, and through other arrangements, including collaborative arrangements. As part of such efforts, the Company may seek loans from certain of their executive officers, directors and/or current shareholders.
If the Company is unable to secure additional financing in the near term, the Company may be forced to: (1) Curtail or abandon the Company’s existing business plans; (2) Default on any debt obligations; (3) File for bankruptcy; (4) Seek to sell some or all of Company assets; and/or (4) Cease business operations.
If the Company is forced to take any of these steps, the Company’s Common Stock may lose significant value or become worthless.
Any future financing may result in ownership dilution to the Company’s existing Shareholders and may grant rights to future investors more favorable than the rights currently held by the Company’s existing Shareholders.
If the Company raises additional capital by issuing equity, equity-related, or convertible securities, the economic, voting and other rights of the Company’s existing shareholders (which would include Investors in this Offering) may be diluted, and those newly-issued securities may be issued at prices that are at a significant discount to the Offering price and/or the then fair market value of the Shares. In addition, any such newly issued securities may have rights superior to those of the Company’s Common Stock as offered through this Offering. If the Company obtains additional capital through collaborative arrangements, the Company may be required to relinquish rights to technologies or product candidates than the Company might otherwise have or become subject to restrictive covenants that may affect business.
Risks Related to Development and Regulatory Approval of The Company’s Product
Defects or errors in the clinical trial stage could set back the success of candidates, requiring further investment without a guaranteed outcome.
| Page 5 |
Even though the Company has been engaged in Phase II and Phase IIB human clinical trials, the Company’s Products may contain undetected defects or errors when placed into further human clinical trials, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s reputation, result in significant costs to the Company and impair their ability to sell their products in the future. The costs incurred in correcting any defects or errors may be substantial and could adversely affect operating results. Furthermore, the Products may contain undetected defects or errors when first introduced to the market or as new versions are released, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s reputation, result in significant costs to the Company and impair their ability to sell Company products in the future. The costs incurred in correcting any defects or errors may be substantial and could adversely affect operating results.
The FDA, other regulatory bodies and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities each have substantial discretion in the approval process and may either refuse to consider the company application for review or may form the opinion after review of the data that the Company’s application is insufficient to grant approval for commercial use.
Commercialization of the Products will require FDA and other regulatory approval in the future. The FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities each have substantial discretion in the approval process and may either refuse to consider the business’s application for human clinical trials or may form the opinion after review of the Company’s clinical trial data that the application for the Intrulin (and perhaps the CPD technology) is insufficient to allow approval of for human health applications. Approval procedures vary among jurisdictions and can involve requirements and administrative review periods different from, and greater than, those in United States. Moreover, any approvals that the Company obtains may not cover all of the clinical indications for which the Company will seek approval, or could contain significant limitations in the form of narrow indications, warnings, precautions or contraindications with respect to conditions of use. In such an event, the Company’s ability to generate revenues from the Products would be greatly reduced and its business would be harmed.
The regulatory approval process of the FDA for the Products and other comparable domestic and foreign regulatory authorities are lengthy, time-consuming and inherently unpredictable, and if the Company is unable to obtain timely regulatory approval for the Products, the business will be substantially harmed.
The Company is not permitted to market the Products in the US until approval from the FDA, or in any foreign countries until the Company receives the requisite approval from such countries. Prior to submitting for FDA for approval of the Products for human health applications, the Company will need to initiate and complete at least one Phase III clinical trial for the Intrulin – and, potentially, clinical trials for the CPD technology. Successfully completing the Company’s clinical program and obtaining approval is a complex, lengthy, expensive and uncertain process, and the FDA may delay, limit or deny approval of the Company’s Products for many reasons, including, among others, because:
(1) The Company may not be able to demonstrate that their product candidates are safe and effective in treating patients to the satisfaction of the FDA or other applicable foreign regulatory agencies;
(2) The results of the Company’s clinical trials may not meet the level of statistical or clinical significance required by the FDA or other applicable foreign regulatory agencies for marketing approval;
(3) The FDA or other applicable foreign regulatory agencies may disagree with the number, design, size, conduct or implementation of the Company’s clinical trials;
(4) The FDA or other applicable foreign regulatory agencies may require that the Company conduct additional clinical trials;
(5) The FDA or other applicable foreign regulatory authorities may not approve the labeling or specifications of the Company’s product candidates;
(6) The contract research organizations (CROs) and other contractors that the Company may retain to conduct clinical trials may take actions outside of Company control that materially adversely impact the clinical trials;
(7) The FDA or other applicable foreign regulatory agencies may find the data from preclinical studies and clinical trials insufficient to demonstrate that the Products are safe and effective for its proposed indications;
(8) The FDA or other applicable foreign regulatory agencies may disagree with the Company’s interpretation of data from their preclinical studies and clinical trials;
(10) If and when the applications for regulatory approval are submitted to the FDA or other foreign regulatory agencies, as applicable, the regulatory authorities may have difficulties scheduling the necessary review meetings in a timely manner, may recommend against approval of the Company’s application or may recommend or require, as a condition of approval, additional preclinical studies or clinical trials, limitations on approved labeling or distribution and use restrictions;
(11) The FDA or other applicable foreign regulatory agencies may change their approval policies or adopt new regulations.
Any of these factors, many of which are beyond Company control, could increase development costs, jeopardize the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval for and successfully market the Products and generate revenue. Moreover, because their business is entirely dependent on the approval of the Products by the FDA and other foreign agencies, any such setback in the Company’s pursuit of regulatory approval would have a material adverse effect on business and prospects.

There may be a high rate of failure for the Products proceeding through clinical trials.
There may be a high rate of failure for Products as candidates proceeding through clinical trials. The Company may suffer significant setbacks in their clinical trials, similar to the experience of a number of other companies in medical device industry, even after receiving promising results in earlier trials. Further, even if the Company views the results of a clinical trial to be positive, the FDA or other regulatory authorities may disagree with their interpretation of the data.
Clinical trials are expensive, time consuming, uncertain and susceptible to change, delay or termination.
Clinical trials are expensive, time consuming and difficult to design and implement. The result of a clinical trial may be undesirable and can result in a clinical trial cancellation or the need for re-evaluation and supplementation. Even if the results of the clinical trials are favorable, the clinical trials are expected to continue for several years and may even take significantly longer to complete. In addition, the Company, the FDA the various IRBs, or other regulatory authorities, may suspend, delay or terminate the Company’s clinical trials at any time, for various reasons.
Risks Related to the Securities and the Offering
There is no current market for the Shares.
There is no market for the resale of Company Shares and none is expected to arise for the foreseeable future. Investors should assume that they may not be able to liquidate their investment.
The Offering Price was not established on an independent basis; the actual value of an investment may be substantially less than what Investors pays for the securities.
The Company’s Board of Directors established the Offering price of the Company’s Shares on an arbitrary basis. The Offering price of the Shares bears no relationship to the book or asset values or to any other established criteria for valuing Shares. Because the Offering price is not based upon any independent valuation, the Offering price may not be indicative of the proceeds that an Investor would receive upon liquidation. Further, the Offering price may be significantly more than the price at which the Shares would trade if they were to be listed on an exchange or actively traded by broker-dealers.
Kurve has existing Patents that the Company might not be able to protect.
The Company's most valuable asset is its intellectual property. Kurve holds 17 United States utility patents with two currently pending. It is possible that competitors may attempt to misappropriate or violate intellectual property rights owned by the Company. The Company intends to protect its intellectual property portfolio from such violations, within the constraints of available resources. It is important to note that unforeseeable costs associated with such practices may consume a significant portion of capital, which could negatively affect the Company’s research and development efforts and business, in general. However, the Company has anticipated the possible need to protect its Patents from infringement and therefore has allocated Proceeds from this Offering, in the form of Working Capital, to account for this potential event.
The Company is controlled by Marc Giroux, Chairman/Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer
The Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is the beneficial owner of a majority of the Company’s Shares of Common stock as of the date of this Offering Circular. Upon a successful Offering (where the Maximum Offering Amount is raised) Marc Giroux will still own a majority of the Company’s voting stock. Investors in this Offering will not have a majority of voting Shares and therefore will not have the have the ability to control a vote of the Shareholders without consensus from Marc Giroux. Marc Giroux, therefore, has complete control as to the direction of the Company. There is a disproportionate reliance on Marc Giroux for the operation of the Company, and therefore a risk that the direction of the Company may change if Marc Giroux is unable to perform his duties as Director and Officer.
Bonus Shares have a potentially dilutive effect.
As part of this Offering, the Company is offering Bonus Shares to certain investors (See “Plan of Distribution” below). There is the potential that the Company sells the Shares solely through investments subject to the award of Bonus Shares. In the event the Company sells the Shares solely through investments subject to the award of Bonus Shares, the Company could only raise Proceeds equaling $20,000,000 or 50% of the Maximum Offering Amount. In the event the Company sells the Shares in amounts less than the total number of Shares offered, the Bonus Shares may still have a dilutive effect to where the Maximum Offering Amount is not reached.
The Company has outstanding convertible notes held by Tom McDowell and Marc Giroux.
The Company has two convertible notes outstanding to Marc Giroux and Tom McDowell, both Officers and Directors of the Company. The total debt owed on these convertible notes is $300,000. The conversion price is set at $2.08. This means that Marc Giroux and Tom McDowell will, if the notes are converted, receive Shares at a price below the price offered in this Offering. Alternatively, Marc Giroux and Tom McDowell could cause the Company to repay these convertible notes using the Company’s cash.

On July 22, 2022, the Company executed the Merger in which Kurve Technology, Inc. assigned its assets to Savile Therapeutics, Inc. which was in-turn acquired by the Company. Prior to the Merger, the persons owning Founders’ Shares (Marc Giroux, Tom McDowell, Glenn Cornett included) agreed to keep their proportionate ownership in the Company as they had owned in Kurve Technology, Inc. prior to the Merger. After the Company increased the number of authorized Shares, the above-named persons received their proportionate number of Shares to maintain their respective equity ownership percentages in the Company. The following table describes the number of Shares assigned to each Officer:
| Name | Number of Shares | |||
| Marc Giroux | 43,416,595 | |||
| Tom McDowell | 3,011,382 | |||
| Glenn Cornett | 2,506,975 | |||
The above-named persons received these Shares pursuant to their roles as founders in Kurve Technology, Inc. prior to May 2021 (one year before the date of this Offering Circular).

Summary of the Company and Its Products
The Company has two main products. The first product is Intrulin (Kurve intranasal insulin), which is a drug the Company is developing to combat cognitive aging, neurodegenerative diseases and related disorders. The second product is the Company’s patented Controlled Particle Dispersion® (“CPD”) technology. The retail name of the device utilizing the CPD technology is ViaNase®.
The Company intends to use the Proceeds of this Offering to (1) Complete the purchase of select intellectual property from Kurve Technology, Inc.; (2) design, develop, and execute human clinical trials for the Company’s Products; (3) Develop relationships with select producers of CNS drugs for potential licensing relationships; (4) Expand research and development activities for the Company’s Products.
The Company and Its Products
Kurve Therapeutics is developing disease-modifying drugs with demonstrated clinical efficacy in cognitive aging, neurodegenerative diseases and related disorders. Much of this efficacy can be traced to inhibition of two key enzymes that have for over a decade been an elusive target for Alzheimer’s drugs: Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (“GSK-3 beta”) and elongation factor 2 kinase (“EF2K”).
The CPD technology and the Intrulin (collectively the “Technology” or “Products”) are intended to be used together - meaning the Intrulin’s delivery by ViaNase increases the efficacy of GSK-3 beta and EF2K and avoids systemic side-effects by delivering drugs directly to the brain. This is done with precisely-controlled, turbulent flow from an intranasal device.
The largest body of clinical evidence for the Technology is for Alzheimer’s disease (a severe form of cognitive aging), where the Company has significant, placebo-controlled results in five Phase II trials.
The Company has found that Intrulin increases blood flow to cerebral gray matter in human patients. Kurve’s patented CPD technology enhances significantly the efficacy and safety of existing and new formulations. This is done by accessing the most-penetrable part of the blood-brain barrier (“BBB”), the olfactory mucosa at the top of the nasal cavity, where nerves penetrate to convey smell signals to the brain. This approach, known as the nose-to-brain route, is particularly important for large, complex molecules (e.g., proteins, stem cells, and antibodies) that have shown promise in neurodegenerative disease but are virtually impossible to deliver to the brain via other non-surgical routes (oral, intravenous, etc.)
Kurve CPD’s precisely-controlled turbulent flow generation, unlike other technologies, gets medicines past the curved surfaces inside the nose and up to the olfactory mucosa. This capability was demonstrated in an 18-month Phase II Alzheimer’s disease study using two different nasal delivery technologies. Patients using the Kurve device showed improvement vs. baseline and placebo; the patients using the other device showed no improvement from placebo.
Kurve products have favorable clinical evidence of disease-modifying activity in at least four neurodegenerative diseases. In a smaller, four-month Phase II study using positron emission tomography ”PET” scanning, Alzheimer’s patients using the Technology demonstrated enhanced activity vs. placebo in compromised brain regions. Marketed drug products are of limited efficacy, sometimes having benefits only briefly (3-6 months), after which patient decline accelerates and the use of the drug is discontinued. With Kurve, efficacy has continued for years in individual patient cases and in a number of cases actually reversed the course of the disease. The longest clinical trial yet showed continuing efficacy vs. the placebo group for 18 months. Kurve offers significant potential to advance the standard of care.
Market for the Company’s Products
The Company’s Products, Intrulin and ViaNase, are being developed to combat cognitive aging, neurodegenerative diseases and related disorders. These disorders include (1) Alzheimer’s Disease; (2) Parkinson’s Disease; (3) Lewy Body Dementia; and, (4) Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS”).
1. Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s Disease, with United States prevalence estimated at 6 million, is the only top-10 cause of death in the United States with no known cure. It is the sixth-leading cause of death and is the fifth-leading cause of death among those age 65 and older in the US. It is also estimated to be the most-expensive disease in the nation. The 2018 cost of caring for Americans with Alzheimer’s and other dementias is about $277 billion, not including unpaid caregiving by 16 million Americans annually providing an estimated 18.5 billion hours, valued in aggregate at $234 billion. Approved treatments address only symptoms; they do not modify the disease in a fashion seen in some Kurve Therapeutics patient’s cases and clinical trials. Global revenues for Alzheimer’s drugs were $18 billion in 2018. There is opportunity to grow the market significantly with an effectively-delivered, disease-modifying drug.
2. Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s Disease afflicts about 930,000 United States patients, with 2030 prevalence forecast to grow to 1.2 million. While for some patients the symptoms can be treated effectively for years, there are no approved drugs that treat the underlying neurodegenerative process. Global revenues for Parkinson’s drugs were $4.5 billion in 2018. There is substantial opportunity to enlarge this market with a therapy yielding the disease-modifying experiences seen in some Kurve patients.
3. Lewy Body Dementia
Lewy Body Dementia (“LBD”) affects about 1.4 million individuals and their families in the United States. It is the third-most-common dementia in the United States, after Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. There are no approved treatments demonstrated to slow or stop the brain cell damage caused by Lewy body dementia. Global LBD drug revenues were $3.5 billion in 2018. Several LBD patients have benefitted significantly from Kurve treatments (patient case reports pending).
4. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS”) is a rare disease, with about 16,000 patients in the US. There are only two drugs approved for the treatment of ALS: Sanofi’s Rilutek (riluzole) and Mitsubishi Tanabe’s Radicava (edaravone). The drugs were special cases in terms of FDA approval; they did not meet the standard regulatory requirements for approval, but due to the increase in survival of patients, they were granted approval. Drug sales for ALS in 2017 were collectively about $200 million in the US, Japan and major European markets (Germany, France, UK, Italy and Spain).
Company Intellectual Property
Patents
The Company currently owns 17 issued utility patents with the following Agencies (1) United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) (2) Patent Cooperation Treaty; (3) European Patent Office; (4) German Patent and Trademark Office; (5) French Patent and Trademark Office; (6) United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office; and (7) Japan Patent Office. The Company currently has several patents pending as well. These patents represent the core technology behind Intrulin and ViaNase. The earlier patents are in effect until 2027 with further patents in place until 2032; further patents are pending.
Trademarks
The Company currently owns registered trademarks for Kurve Therapeutics, Kurve Technology, ViaNase, and Intrulin.
Plan of Distribution of the Products
After approval by the relevant authorities, the Company intends to initially distribute the Products in the United States and Europe. Within the United States, the Company will engage in direct sales to customers. The customers in the United States primarily consist of hospitals, doctors, and hospital systems. Generally speaking, the prescribing doctors have the discretion on whether to prescribe drugs. Once the decision has been made to prescribe the drug, the doctor will direct the patient to purchase the drug via their pharmacy.
The Company intends to utilize distributors to affect international sales of the drug. International sales methods of the Products will vary from country to country depending on the respective laws and healthcare systems. International distributors and partners will be responsible for maintaining sales and regulatory compliance within each international market. Additionally, the Company intends on using some of the Proceeds for international marketing efforts.
Total Number of Employees
As of the Date of this offering Circular, the Company has one (1) full time employees and no part time employees. However, the Company does utilize the services of independent contractors for much of its operations. The Company intends on hiring one or more of these independent contractors if a sufficient amount of the Proceeds are raised pursuant to this Offering.
Legal Proceedings and Merger
Kurve Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a successor entity to two former entities, Savile Therapeutics, Inc. and Kurve Technology, Inc.
Kurve Technology was the original operational company which developed the Company’s Products. In January 2017, an investor in Kurve Technology, Inc. (who owned a significant portion) of Kurve Technology died. The beneficiaries of this person’s estate intended to divest their portion of Kurve Technology, Inc. along with several other investments (with other unrelated companies) held within the deceased investor’s estate. Management decided that a State of Washington receivership proceeding was the best strategy for handling the redemption of the equity portion in question.
Management executed the receivership process for Kurve Technology, Inc. to resolve the issue with the estate beneficiaries. The various processes as described within this sub-section will hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Receivership”. Marc Giroux, as majority shareholder in Kurve Technology, Inc. and Kurve Theraputics, Inc. was named as a party in the Receivership as a procedural matter.
On February 22, 2022 the Receivership court accepted the plan put in place between Kurve Technology, Inc. and the receiver Resource Transition Consultants, LLC (the “Receiver”). The Court issued an “ORDER APPROVING GENERAL RECEIVER’S MOTION TO SELL ASSETS FREE AND CLEAR” (the “Order”) whereby the court found that the assignment of the Assets described transaction to Savile Therapeutics, Inc. (as described below) was “in the best interests of the estate”. The Order is attached hereto as Exhibit 16A.

Special Characteristics of the Company’s Operations and Competing Products/Procedures
The Company is subject to regulation of its Products before, during, and after approval by the FDA Products for commercial distribution of the Products
The Company’s products have two separate approval/authorization paths, one for the Intrulin, the other for the ViaNase/CPD technology. The Intrulin is regulated as a “Drug” with the FDA, while the ViaNase is a Class I Medical Device, until such is paired with the Intrulin. When paired with the Intrulin, the ViaNase becomes a Class II medical device as a drug/device combination. Below is a discussion of the dual regulatory paths for the Company’s Products.
FDA Approval for the Intranasal Insulin (Intrulin)
The Company has developed and is currently testing its new drug, Intrulin. The Company has already undergone Phase I and Phase II human clinical trials for the Intrulin product. The Company is going to seek authorization from the FDA to conduct Phase III human clinical trials to be funded using the Proceeds of this Offering. After the Phase III human clinical trials are completed the Company intends to submit a New Drug Application (“NDA”).
The clinical phase of drug development focuses on testing new drugs on human volunteers. Phase I tests may involve dozens of volunteer subjects and are performed to ascertain if the new drug has side effects and how the human body metabolizes and excretes the drug. Phase II tests may involve hundreds of volunteer subjects and are used to gather preliminary data on the efficacy of the new drug on a specific condition or disease. These studies may compare the efficacy of the new drug against established drugs used to treat a condition or against placebos. After Phase II trials are completed, a sponsor will typically coordinated with the FDA to plan its Phase III trials. Phase III trials may involve thousands of volunteer participants, as the new drug is tested to evaluate its effectiveness and safety in many different population subsets.
During the clinical phase of drug development, the FDA may halt testing of a new drug, temporarily or permanently, if there are concerns for the safety of trial testing volunteers. Institutional Review Boards (“IRBs”) are also involved in reviewing the safety protocols for these trials, and may halt testing of a new drug.
Once Phase III tests are concluded, a sponsor prepares and submits a New Drug Application with the FDA. The FDA must approve the NDA before marketing of the new drug is permitted in the United States. The NDA contains the results of all new drug testing, including preclinical and clinical testing, along with other information about the new drug, including its chemical composition and manufacturing processes. The costs associated with preparation and submission of an NDA are significant, and the approval process can take years.
After an NDA is submitted, the FDA has 60 days to assess if the NDA will be accepted for filing based whether the NDA is sufficiently complete. Upon acceptance of the filing by the FDA, a 180-day period review begins during which time the FDA conducts an in-depth review of the NDA’s contents to evaluate a sponsor’s research on the new drug’s safety and effectiveness. After the 180-day period ends, the FDA must either issue an approval letter for the NDA or a response letter to a sponsor addressing particular concerns. This 180-day period may be modified; the FDA and a sponsor may come to an agreement to alter the review period timeline.
The FDA subsequently reviews the labeling of the new drug to ensure relevant health information is present and inspects a sponsor’s manufacturing facility where a new drug is produced to confirm that the manufacturing of the new drug is compliant to standards. (See “Facilities Regulation” below)
After a sponsor’s new drug passes through these steps, the new drug approval process is complete. A sponsor is required to provide the FDA with periodic updates regarding the safety of the new drug.
FDA Approval for the ViaNase Medical Device
The Company believes that the ViaNase and the CPD technology will be regulated in the United States similarly as Class II medical devices by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes based upon controls the FDA considers necessary to reasonably ensure their safety and effectiveness. Class I devices are subject to general controls such as labeling, adherence to good manufacturing practices and maintenance of product complaint records, but are usually exempt from premarket notification requirements. Class II devices are subject to the same general controls and also are subject to special controls such as performance standards and may also require clinical testing prior to approval. Class III devices are subject to the highest level of controls because they are life-sustaining or life-supporting devices.
The CPD Technology-based products, including ViaNase are anticipated to be regulated as Class II medical devices. There are two regulatory paths to authorizing a medical device to be sold commercially. First is the 510(k) Premarket Notification process, the second is the De Novo Process. The Company may elect to undergo the FDA’s Pre-Submission Process prior to the authorization processes.
Pre-Submission Process
The Company intends to go through the Pre-Submission Process with the FDA prior to making the determination on whether to file as a Pre-Market Notification 510(k) Class II or De Novo device.
The Pre-Submission process is appropriate for situations such as the following:
-The device involves new technology, a new intended use, or a new analyte and it will be helpful to familiarize the FDA with the novel features in advance of the submission;
-Assistance is needed in defining possible regulatory pathways;
-The studies involve complex data and/or statistical approaches;
-The predicate or reference method is unclear or uncertain; or
-The new device is a multiplex device capable of simultaneously testing a large number of analytes.
A sponsor should submit a Pre-Submission if they would like the FDA's thoughts on their studies or proposals prior to starting the studies. The potential benefits of submitting a Pre-Submission are:
-To begin a dialogue with the FDA and promote greater understanding;
-To reduce the cost of research studies by focusing in on the important information needed for the FDA's approval (or clearance) and eliminating unnecessary or burdensome studies, and
-To facilitate the review process for the future marketing application since the FDA will already be familiar with the device.
Pre-Submissions and associated meetings are strictly voluntary, and any comments or recommendations made in the review of protocols or during these meetings are not binding on the manufacturer or the FDA.
510(k) Premarket Notification
If, after the Pre-Submission process, the FDA and Company deem that the device requires the submission of a Premarket Notification 510(k), the Company will be prohibited from commercially distributing the device until the Company receives a letter of substantial equivalence from FDA authorizing the Company to sell commercially. A 510(k) must demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to one legally in commercial distribution in the United States: (1) before May 28, 1976; or (2) to a device that has been determined by FDA to be substantially equivalent (a “predicate device”). Even though the CPD technology is a proprietary and more effective delivery system than any other intra-nasal delivery system on the market, the Company believes that the ViaNase can be authorized as substantially-equivalent to one or more predicate devices.
The De Novo Classification
If the Company determines, after the Pre-Submission process, that the ViaNase and CPD technology is not substantially equivalent to a predicate device, the Company will pursue a De Novo Classification.
The De Novo process provides a pathway to classify novel medical devices for which general controls alone, or general and special controls, provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for the intended use, but for which there is no legally marketed predicate device. De Novo classification is a risk-based classification process.
Devices that are classified into Class II through a De Novo Classification Request (De Novo request) may be marketed and used as predicates for future 510(k) premarket notification submissions, if necessary. This means that it may be prudent to initially pursue a De Novo Classification for the CPD technology at this early stage, so the Company can file 510(k) premarket notifications for its future products based on that technology.
The De Novo Classification Request includes the following information:
(1) Administrative Information, such as the device's intended use, prescription use or over-the-counter use designated, etc.
(2) Device Description, which includes but is not limited to technology, proposed conditions of use, accessories, and components.
(3) Classification Information and Supporting Data:
-Clinical data (if applicable) that are relevant to support reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device.
-Non-clinical data including bench performance testing.
-Information on the reprocessing and sterilization, shelf life, biocompatibility, software, electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility, animal study, literature (if applicable); and
-A description of the probable benefits of the device when compared to the probable or anticipated risks when the device is used as intended.
The Company will be required to collect and submit this data prior to submission.
Facilities Regulation
Regulation of the Company as a Drug Manufacturer
The Company intends to outsource manufacturing of the Intrulin to third party drug manufacturers that are themselves FDA-regulated drug manufacturers.
Quality System Regulation and Good Manufacturing Practices for Medical Devices
After approval of the CPD technology-based products by the FDA, the Company will be subject to FDA Quality Systems Regulation (“QS Regulation”) and Good Manufacturing Practices” (“GMPs”) Manufacturers must establish and follow quality systems to help ensure that their medical device products consistently meet applicable requirements and specifications known as current good manufacturing practices. Continued Compliance with these QS Regulations and GMPs is an ongoing duty of the Company. On February 23, 2022, the FDA proposed a regulation which would incorporate the international standard specific for medical device quality management systems set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 13485:2016 Medical devices – Quality management systems – Requirements for regulatory purposes. The Company intends to use contract manufacturers. All of these contract manufacturers will be required by the Company to be ISO 13485:2016, and thus compliant with FDA GMP.
The Company does not anticipate that this proposed regulation will affect the operations of the Company, since the Company intends on complying with ISO 13485:2016 prior to the proposed rule change in development of its facilities.
Plan of Operations
The Company anticipates this Plan of Operations will take approximately $15,000,000-$25,000,000 to execute. The Company is not reasonably able determine the costs of each step at this time due to the conditionality of the human clinical trial process(es).
Competition
The Company believes that the only truly competing products (ones that are cleared by the FDA and that are commercially available) are infusion products such as: (1) Privigen from CSL Behring LLC; (2) Aduhelm (Aducanumab) from Biogen Inc.; (3) Gammagard from Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. All of these products are infusions approved to treat various forms of dementia.

Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kurve Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise of the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Basis of Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note C to the financial statements, the Company had a negative working capital of approximately $34,000. Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $65,000 and $81,000 respectively. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note C. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
U.S. GAAP, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with U.S. GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with U.S. GAAS, we:
-Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
-Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
-Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
-Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial -statements.
-Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

Note A – Nature of Business
Kurve Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a private company incorporated in the state of Delaware. The Company is developing disease-modifying drugs with demonstrated clinical efficacy in cognitive aging, neurodegenerative diseases and related disorders, and develops nasal drug delivery devices.
Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The Company reports the results of its operations using the accrual method of accounting for financial statement purposes. Under this method, income is recognized when earned and expenses are deducted when incurred. The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Accounting standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) are subject to change. Changes in such standards may have an impact on the Company’s future financial statements.
The Company periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Although some of these accounting standards may be applicable to the Company, the Company has identified the following new accounting standard that it believes merits further discussion.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from U.S. GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Management is evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial reporting.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
Cash
The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions which management believes is of high credit quality. The Company does not believe it is exposed to significant risk. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no cash equivalents.
Convertible Notes Payable
The Company evaluates all conversion and redemption features contained in a debt instrument to determine if there are any embedded features that require bifurcation as a derivative or separation as a beneficial conversion feature. Based on management’s review of the convertible notes, no bifurcation of the embedded features was considered necessary as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Revenue Recognition
All revenues from exchange transactions are recorded in accordance with ASC 606 which is recognized when: (i) a contract with a customer has been identified, (ii) the performance obligation(s) in the contract have been identified, (iii) the transaction price has been determined, (iv) the transaction price has been allocated to each performance obligation in the contract, and (v) the Company has satisfied the applicable performance obligation at a point in time or over time.
The Company acts as an agent to secure customer contracts for the purchase of medical devices developed and manufactured by Kurve Technology, Inc. (“Kurve Technology”), a related party through common ownership. The Company earns a commission when the devices are delivered to the customer. All payments for medical devices are due prior to shipment of the product.
Costs of goods sold include all direct materials related to contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
The contract liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were composed of deferred revenue related to customer deposits on orders that have not shipped.
Research & Development
The Company expenses product testing and research & development costs as incurred. Research and development costs are primarily composed of clinical trial costs, manufacturing costs for both clinical and pre-clinical materials as well as other contracted services, and other external costs. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity is performed or when the goods have been received, rather than when payment is made, in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company’s income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal and state authorities in accordance with prescribed statutes. When accrued, interest and penalties related to unpaid taxes are included in income tax expense.
The Company adopted the income tax standard for uncertain tax positions. As a result of this implementation, the Company evaluated its tax positions and determined that it has no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2021. The Company’s 2020 and 2021 tax years are open for examination for federal and state taxing authorities.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short terms to maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the note receivable – related party and notes payable would not differ significantly if recalculated based on current interest rates. No financial instruments are held for trading purposes.
Note C – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2021, the Company had a negative working capital of approximately $34,000. Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $65,000 and $81,000 respectively. These matters raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing.
Management plans to sell shares of common stock through private and public offerings. While the Company believes in the viability of its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note D – Note Receivable – Related Party
In November 2021, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with Savile Therapeutics, Inc. (“Savile”), a related party through common ownership. The promissory note allows for borrowings of up to $405,000, bears interest at an annual rate of 10% and is due and payable on November 1, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, $15,000 had been loaned to Savile. In January 2022, the Company disbursed an additional $390,000 to Savile.
Savile has made an offer to purchase Kurve Technology, which is under the direction of a General Receiver per revised Code of Washington (State), Chapter 7.60. Savile has made an offer to purchase Kurve Technology’s assets for $5,000,000, and has made a deposit of $405,000 with the Receiver. The balance of the purchase price will be a note payable accruing interest at 5% per annum and due in full on or before two years from the date of the closing. Savile also agrees to pay a royalty of 5% of gross revenue to the Receiver for distribution to the stockholders of Kurve Technology for the first five years following the sale of its first product. The Receiver has approved the transaction to be presented to the Snohomish County Court. The court’s decision is expected in early March 2022.
Note E – Convertible Notes Payable
During September through December 2021, the Company entered into various convertible promissory note agreements with various holders. The note agreements range from $5,000 - $140,000, bear interest at 10% are due and payable between September 2022 and December 2022. The notes payable provide a conversion option at the sole discretion of the holder to convert the unpaid principal balance, plus accrued interest for common stock at a purchase price of $2.08 per share.
Note F – Related Party Transactions
Kurve Technology has completed two studies through Phase 2 including; Mild Cognitive Impairment (“MCI”) in Alzheimer’s (Wake Forest) and MCI in Diabetes (Harvard Medical School). Results of these studies have been presented at the meeting of the Alzheimer’s Association and America Diabetes Association. In addition, Kurve Technology has developed technology to successfully deliver drugs from the nose to the brain for central nervous system disorders at any level.
The Company acts as an agent for the sale of medical devices developed and manufactured by Kurve Technology. The Company earns a 35% commission on all medical devices for contracts that it secures. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has completed agreements and commenced clinical testing with nine organizations. As of December 31, 2021, there was a net due to Kurve Technology of $18,395. As of December 31, 2020, there was a net due from Kurve Technology of $36,905.
Note G – Income Taxes
No provision or benefit for federal or state income taxes has been reflected for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 since the Company reported losses and has established a valuation allowance against the total net deferred tax asset.
Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets (liabilities) as of December 31:
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Net operating loss carryforward | $ | 26,104 | $ | 14,409 | ||||
| Valuation allowance | (26,104) | (14,409) | ||||||
| Net deferred tax asset | $ | — | $ | — | ||||
The entire balance of the deferred tax asset has been offset by a valuation allowance since the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards cannot be sufficiently assured at December 31, 2021 and 2020.
At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $116,000 and $64,000, respectively. The federal net operating loss may be carried forward indefinitely but are limited to 80% of the taxable income in any one tax period. The utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in the case of certain events including significant changes in ownership interests. The Company’s federal and state blended tax rate was 21% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Note H – Stock Warrants
The Company issued warrants for the purchase of 80,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The warrants are fully vested and expire between December 8, 2029 and January 3, 2030. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, no warrants were exercised.
Note I – Concentrations and Commitments
COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, the Company was not closed at any point. Additionally, there were no staff furloughed or terminated due to COVID-19. Overall, the Company was not significantly affected by COVID-19.
Due to the level of risk this virus may have on the global economy, it is at least reasonably possible that it could have an impact on the operations of the Company in the near term that could materially impact the Company’s financial statements, however, management does not believe there will be any future impact. In addition, with vaccines and therapeutics coming to market, these will also help to mitigate any potential future losses.
Note J – Subsequent Events
In preparing the accompanying financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through February 11, 2022, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Management has determined that all subsequent events have been properly disclosed.

As discussed in Note B to the financial statements, the Company is in receivership. Additionally as discussed in Note C, the Company had a negative working capital of approximately $5,002,000 and $4,641,000 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Kurve Technology, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2021 and 2020
Note A – Nature of Business
Kurve Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in 2002 in the State of Delaware, and is headquartered in Lynnwood, Washington. The Company has developed disease-modifying technology to deliver selected drugs directly from the nose to the brain.
The Company has completed two studies through Phase 2 including; Mild Cognitive Impairment (“MCI”) in Alzheimer’s (Wake Forest) and MCI in Diabetes (Harvard Medical School). Results of these studies have been presented at the meeting of the Alzheimer’s Association and America Diabetes Association. In addition, the Company has developed technology to successfully deliver drugs from the nose to the brain for central nervous system disorders at any level. Furthermore, the Company has commenced clinical testing nine organizations.
Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The Company reports the results of its operations using the accrual method of accounting for financial statement purposes. Under this method, income is recognized when earned and expenses are deducted when incurred. The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Receivership
Under the Revised Code of Washington (“RCW”), Chapter 7.60, the Company is under the direction of a General Receiver. Pursuant to RCW 7.60.260, a general receiver is able to sell assets of the company over which it has been appointed free and clear of liens. This is similar to section 362 of the bankruptcy code.
The Company desires to exist receivership either through a sale of assets or additional investors. As such, the Company is under a non-binding letter of intent with a related entity due to common ownership to sell select assets to raise sufficient capital to retire all of the Company’s debt. The related entity has made an officer to purchase Kurve Techology’s assets for $5,000,000, and has made a deposit of $405,000 with the Receiver. The balance of the purchase price will be a note payable accruing interest at 5% per annum and due in full on or before two years from the date of the closing. The related entity also agrees to pay a royalty of 5% of gross revenue to the Receiver for distribution to the stockholders of Kurve Technology for the first five years following the sale of its first product. The Receiver has approved the transaction to be presented to the Snohomish County Court. The court’s decision is expected in early March 2022.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the General Receiver was due approximately $600,000 and $540,000 for unpaid services.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Accounting standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) are subject to change. Changes in such standards may have an impact on the Company’s future financial statements.
The Company periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Although some of these accounting standards may be applicable to the Company, the Company has identified the following new accounting standard that it believes merits further discussion.
| Page 21 |
Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts with customers. The adoption did not result is an impact on opening retained earnings. No significant judgements were made in the application of the guidance in ASC 606.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This guidance amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet. It also makes targeted changes to lessor accounting, including a change to the treatment of initial direct leasing costs, which no longer consider fixed internal leasing salaries as capitalized costs. Under ASU 2020-05, ASU 2016-02 is effective for years beginning on or after December 15, 2021. Management is evaluating the impact on this ASU on the Company’s financial reporting.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to the separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead accounting for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2021. Management is evaluating the impact on this ASU on the Company’s financial reporting.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
Cash
The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions which management believes is of high credit quality. The Company does not believe it is exposed to significant risk. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no cash equivalents.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of patents and patents pending. Patents and patents pending are being amortized on the straight-line method over fifteen years, but not exceeding the initial expiration date of the patent.
Revenue Recognition
All revenues from exchange transactions are recorded in accordance with ASC 606 which is recognized when: (i) a contract with a customer has been identified, (ii) the performance obligation(s) in the contract have been identified, (iii) the transaction price has been determined, (iv) the transaction price has been allocated to each performance obligation in the contract, and (v) the Company has satisfied the applicable performance obligation at a point in time or over time.
The Company’s revenues are primarily generated from the sale of medical devices to customers. Sales contain a single delivery element and revenue for such sales is recognized when the customer obtains control, which is typically when the product is delivered. All payments for medical devices are due prior to shipment of the product.
Costs of goods sold include all direct materials related to contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
The contract liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were composed of deferred revenue related to customer deposits on orders that have not shipped.
| Page 22 |
Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Research & Development
The Company expenses product testing and research & development costs as incurred. Research and development costs are primarily composed of clinical trial costs, manufacturing costs for both clinical and pre-clinical materials as well as other contracted services, and other external
costs. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity is performed or when the goods have been received, rather than when payment is made, in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company’s income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal and state authorities in accordance with prescribed statutes. When accrued, interests and penalties related to unpaid taxes are included in income tax expense.
The Company adopted the income tax standard for uncertain tax positions. As a result of this implementation, the Company evaluated its tax positions and determined that it has no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2021. The Company’s 2020 and 2021 tax years are open for examination for federal and state taxing authorities.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short terms to maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the note receivable – related party and notes payable would not differ significantly if recalculated based on current interest rates. No financial instruments are held for trading purposes.
Note C – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, albeit under receivership. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $11,298,000 and $10,913,000, and a negative working capital of approximately $5,002,000 and $4,641,000. Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $385,000 and $417,000, respectively. Further, the Company has had negative cash flows from operations in amounts of approximately $16,000 and $14,000, respectively. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing.
The Company has entered an agreement to sell its assets to the related entity as described in Note B, which is designed to retire all of the Company’s debt. While the Company believes in the viability of this transaction, there can be no assurances to that effect. The financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Kurve Technology, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2021 and 2020
Note G – Related Party Transactions (continued)
The Company has entered into an agreement to sell its assets to a related entity through common ownership, which is designed to retire all Company debt. While the Company believes in the viability of this transaction, there can be no assurances to that effect.
Note H – Income Taxes
No provision or benefit for federal or state income taxes has been reflected for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 since the Company reported losses and has established a valuation allowance against the total net deferred tax asset.
Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets (liabilities) as of December 31:
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Net operating loss carryforward | $ | 1,448,022 | $ | 1,378,954 | ||||
| Valuation allowance | (1,448,022) | (1,378,954) | ||||||
| Net deferred tax asset | $ | — | $ | — | ||||
The entire balance of the deferred tax assets has been offset by a valuation allowance since the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards cannot be sufficiently assured at December 31, 2021 and 2020.
At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6,460,000 and $6,150,000, respectively. Approximately $5,749,000 of the federal net operating loss will expire between 2023 and 2037. Net operating loss beginning in 2018 may be carried forward indefinitely but are limited to 80% of the taxable income in any one tax period. The utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in the case of certain events including significant changes in ownership interests. The Company’s federal and state blended tax rate was 22.4% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Note I – Common Stock Warrants

Note K – Commitments & Contingencies
Operating Lease
The Company leases its facilities on a month-to-month basis. Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $25,000 and $27,000, respectively.
COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, the Company was not closed at any point. Additionally, there were no staff furloughed or terminated due to COVID-19. Overall, the Company was not significantly affected by COVID-19.
Due to the level of risk this virus may have on the global economy, it is at least reasonably possible that it could have an impact on the operations of the Company in the near term that could materially impact the Company’s financial statements, however, management does not believe there will be any future impact. In addition, with vaccines and Technology coming to market, these will also help to mitigate any potential future losses.
Note L – Subsequent Events
In preparing the accompanying financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through February 11, 2022, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Management has determined that all subsequent events have been properly disclosed.
