ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein and in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022. Readers should carefully review the risk factors disclosed in this Form 10-K and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.

As used in this report, the terms “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” and “NNVC” refer to NanoViricides, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

PRELIMINARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which we indicate by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “we believe,” “NNVC believes,” “management believes” and similar language. The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of NNVC and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those set forth in the discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report. Actual results may differ materially from results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We base the forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update them.

Investors are also advised to refer to the information in our previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), especially on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, in which we discuss in more detail various important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. As such, investors should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all risks and uncertainties or potentially inaccurate assumptions.

Management’s Plan of Operation

The Company’s drug development business model was formed in May 2005 with a license to the patents and intellectual property held by TheraCour that enabled creation of drugs engineered specifically to combat viral diseases in humans. This exclusive license from TheraCour serves as a foundation for our intellectual property. The Company was granted a worldwide exclusive license to this technology for several drugs with specific targeting mechanisms for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Rabies, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus. The Company entered into an Additional License Agreement with TheraCour granting the Company the exclusive licenses for technologies developed by TheraCour for the additional virus types: Dengue viruses, Japanese Encephalitis virus, West Nile Virus, Viruses causing viral Conjunctivitis (a disease of the eye) and Ocular Herpes, and Ebola/Marburg viruses. The Company completed a license agreement for the field of VZV indications in November 2019 from TheraCour. The Company completed a license agreement for the field of human Coronavirus indications in September 2021 from TheraCour. TheraCour has not denied any licenses sought by the Company in the past.

The Company discloses the risk that the Company may want to add further virus types to its drug pipeline as the Company progresses further. The Company would then need to negotiate with TheraCour appropriate license agreements to include those of such additional viruses that the Company determines it wants to follow for further development. Historically, the Company initiates negotiations for

Page 91 of 115

Table of Contents

additional licenses when initial exploratory research determines that a viable drug candidate for the targeted field is possible. We are seeking to add to our existing portfolio of products through our internal discovery pre-clinical development programs and through an in-licensing strategy.

The licenses granted by TheraCour are for entire set of pathologies that the licensed virus is a causative agent for. The licenses are not for single drug/indication pairs, which is the customary mode of licensing in the Pharmaceutical industry. Thus these are very broad licenses and enable NanoViricides to pursue a number of indications as well as develop drug candidates with different characteristics as is best suited for the indications, without having to license the resulting drugs for each indication separately, as with normal pharmaceutical industry licensing.

The Company plans to develop several drugs through the preclinical studies and clinical trial phases with the goal of eventually obtaining approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and International regulatory agencies for these drugs. The Company plans, when appropriate, to seek regulatory approvals in several international markets, including developed markets such as Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, and Emerging Regions such as Southeast Asia, India, China, Central and South America, as well as the African subcontinent. The seeking of these regulatory approvals would only come when and if one or more of our drugs have significantly advanced through the US FDA and international regulatory process. If and as these advances occur, the Company may attempt to partner with more established pharmaceutical companies to advance the various drugs through the approval process.

The Company intends to perform the regulatory filings and own all the regulatory licenses for the drugs it is currently developing. The Company will develop these drugs in part via subcontracts to TheraCour, the exclusive source for these nanomaterials. The Company may manufacture these drugs itself, or under subcontract arrangements with external manufacturers that carry the appropriate regulatory licenses and have appropriate capabilities. The Company intends to distribute these drugs via subcontracts with distributor companies or in partnership arrangements. The Company plans to market these drugs either on its own or in conjunction with marketing partners. The Company also plans to actively pursue co-development, as well as other licensing agreements with other pharmaceutical companies. Such agreements may entail up-front payments, milestone payments, royalties, and/or cost sharing, profit sharing and many other instruments that may bring early revenues to the Company. Such licensing and/or co-development agreements may shape the manufacturing and development options that the Company may pursue. The Company has received significant interest from certain pharmaceutical companies for potential licensing or co-development of some of our drug candidates. However, none of these distributor or co-development agreements is in place at the current time.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop effective nanoviricides, or if developed, that we will have sufficient resources to be able to successfully manufacture and market these products to commence revenue-generating operations.

There can be no assurance that other developments in the field would not impact our business plan adversely. For example, successful creation and availability of an effective vaccine may reduce the potential market size for a particular viral disease, or an effective drug may be developed by competitors that becomes difficult to compete against with our limited resources. Our goal, which we can give no assurance that we will achieve, is for NanoViricides, Inc. to become the premier company developing highly safe and effective drugs that employ an integrated multiplicity of actions as enabled by our nanomedicine approach for anti-viral therapy.

To date, we have engaged in organizational activities; developing and sourcing compounds and preparing nano-materials; and experimentation involving preclinical studies using cell cultures and animal models of efficacy and safety. We have generated funding through the issuances of debt and the sales of securities under our shelf registration and the private placement of common stock (See, Item 5). The Company does not currently have any long-term debt. We have not generated any revenues and we do not expect to generate revenues in the near future. We may not be successful in developing our drugs and start selling our products when planned, or we may not become profitable in the future. We have incurred net losses in each fiscal period since inception of our operations.

Current Financial Status

NanoViricides technology is now maturing rapidly toward clinical drug trials, with the new facility, expanded staff, and the financial strength that we have attained since uplisting to NYSE American in September 2013. We are working diligently towards entering our first broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus drug, NV-CoV-2 for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection that causes COVID-19, into human clinical trials.

As of June 30, 2022, the end of the reporting period, we had $14,066,359 in cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses of $350,021 and $8,694,194 of property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation. Our liabilities at June 30, 2022 are $412,837 including a short term loan payable of $94,788 payable to BankDirect, accounts payable of $57,960 payable to third parties and accounts payable to TheraCour of $214.397. Stockholders’ equity was $23,082,025 at June 30, 2022. In comparison, as of June 30, 2021, we had $20,516,677 in cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses of $307,102 and property and equipment was $9,084,901, net of accumulated depreciation. Our liabilities at June 30, 2021 were $351,146, including accounts payable of $200,016 payable to third parties, and accounts payable to TheraCour of $31,539. Stockholders’ equity was $29,911,167 at June 30, 2021.

During the year ended June 30, 2022, we spent approximately $5.9 million in cash toward operating activities and approximately $324,000 in capital investment. In contrast, we spent approximately $8.2 million in cash toward operating activities and approximately $239,000 in capital investment in the year ended June 30, 2021. We anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $200,000 in the next twelve months.

As of June 30, 2022, we have a cash and cash equivalent balance of $14,066,359 that is expected to be sufficient to fund our currently budgeted operations for more than one year from the filing of the Company’s Form 10K.

The Company has an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2022 of approximately $122.5 million and a net loss of approximately $8.1 million and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $5.9 million for the fiscal year then ended. In addition, the Company has not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated in the foreseeable future. Since May 2005, the Company has been engaged exclusively in research and development activities focused on developing targeted antiviral drugs. The Company has not yet commenced any product commercialization. Such losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and until such time, if ever, as the Company is able to attain sales levels sufficient to support its operations. The Company believes that it has several important milestones that it will be achieving in the ensuing year. Management believes that as it achieves these milestones, the Company’s ability to raise additional funds in the public markets would be enhanced.

Management believes that the Company’s existing resources will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations and expenditures through October 2023. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that its plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of its capital resources more rapidly than it currently anticipates. The accompanying audited financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of such unidentified uncertainties.

Results of Operations

The Company is a biopharmaceutical company and does not have any revenue for the years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

Comparison of the Year End June 30, 2022 to the Year Ended June 30, 2021

Revenues - The Company is a non-revenue producing entity.

Operating Expenses - Research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2022 decreased $329,679 to $5,784,862 from $6,114,541 for the year ended June 30, 2021. This year-to-year decrease is generally attributable to decreases in lab supplies and chemicals, employee compensation expenses and lab fees for pre IND studies offset by a payment of a license fee. General and administrative expenses decreased $300,828 to $2,328,737 for the year ended June 30, 2022 from $2,629,565 for the year ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is generally attributable to decreases in legal and professional expenses.

Interest Income - Interest income was $11,859 and $9,348 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest income increased due to higher interest rates for the majority of the year ended June 30, 2022 offset by lower cash balances.

Interest Expense- The Company has incurred interest expense of $5,123 and $85,405 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 respectively. The decrease results from the payoff of a mortgage loan in December, 2020.

Income Taxes - There is no provision for income taxes due to ongoing operating losses. As of June 30, 2022, we had estimated cumulative tax benefits and development tax credits and other deferred tax credits resulting in a deferred tax asset of $36,506,779. This amount has been offset by a full valuation allowance.

Net Loss - For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $8,106,863, or a basic and fully diluted loss per share of $0.70 compared to a net loss of $8,822,189, or a basic and fully diluted loss per share of $0.81 for the year ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the Company’s net loss for the year ended June 30, 2022 from the year ended June 30, 2021 of $715,326 is generally attributable to an decrease in operating expenses and interest expense in the year ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Reserves

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $14,066,359 and $20,516,677 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. On the same dates, current liabilities outstanding totaled $412,837 and $351,146, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, total current liabilities included short term loan payable of $94,788 and $95,306, respectively

Since inception, the Company has expended substantial resources on research and development. Consequently, we have sustained substantial losses. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $122,492,176 and $114,385,313 at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company anticipates several important milestones that it will be achieving in the ensuing year. Management believes that as it achieves these milestones, the Company’s ability to raise additional funds in the public markets would be enhanced.

Management believes that the Company’s existing resources will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations and expenditures through October 2023. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that its plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of its capital resources more rapidly than it currently anticipates. The accompanying audited financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of such unidentified uncertainties.

Research and Development Costs

The Company does not maintain separate accounting line items for each project in development. The Company maintains aggregate expense records for all research and development conducted. Because at this time all of the Company’s projects share a common core material, the Company allocates expenses across all projects at each period-end for purposes of providing accounting basis for each project. Project costs are allocated based upon labor hours performed for each project.

The Company has signed several cooperative research and development agreements with different agencies and institutions.

The Company expects to enter into additional cooperative agreements with other governmental and non-governmental, academic, or commercial, agencies, institutions, and companies. There can be no assurance that a final agreement may be achieved and that the Company will execute any of these agreements. However, should any of these agreements materialize, the Company will implement a system to track these costs by project and account for these projects as customer-sponsored activities and show these project costs separately.

The following Table 4 summarizes the primary components of our research and development expenses as allocated, during the periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Anticipated Budgets and Expenditures in the Near Future

The Company has ended the year on a reasonable financial footing by controlling costs and expenditures. We project that our current available financing is sufficient for accomplishing the goal of filing one IND or equivalent regulatory applications and executing initial

Page 94 of 115

Table of Contents

human trials of our lead drug candidate, NV-CoV-2. We will need additional financing to execute on our business plan and to complete human clinical trials of our drug candidates into drug approval. Our Coronavirus drug candidate NV-CoV-2 has completed IND-enabling studies, we are currently working on compiling the IND application and finding and engaging an appropriate Clinical Research Organization for planning and executing the clinical studies. NV-CoV-2 is expected to rapidly move into human clinical studies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Shingles Skin Cream, has completed IND-enabling studies, and we intend to file an IND for this drug once the COVID-19 situation abates. We have completed scale-up and manufacture of NV-387, the drug substance (API) in NV-CoV-2, and the drug products NV-CoV-2 Orals Syrup and NV-CoV-2 Oral Gummies. We have scheduled cGMP-compliant clinical batch production of the same. After NV-CoV-2 drug candidate enters clinical trials, we plan on undertaking further development of the NV-HHV-1 Skin Cream for the treatment of Shingles, including scale-up of manufacture, cGMP compliant batches, and additional studies that may be required. We anticipate that these drug candidates will move forward into IND or equivalent regulatory filings, and ensuing human clinical trials. As these drug candidates are advancing into the clinic, we believe that our additional drug candidates, including two or more drug candidates in the HerpeCide program will also move forward into IND-enabling studies. We intend to further re-engage our FluCide and HIVCide drug development programs once we have established our platform technology with the Coronavirus and HerpeCide program drug candidates. We are thus poised for strong growth with a number of drug candidates in a number of disease indications.

Financings

On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. and Kingswood Capital Markets, a division of Benchmark Investments, Inc. (each a “Sales Agent” and collectively, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to the Sales Agents, shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Shares”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million (the “ATM Offering”). Sales pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made only upon instructions by the Company to the Sales Agents, and the Company cannot provide any assurances that it will issue any Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, capital needs and determinations by the Company of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement and the Company cannot provide any assurances that it will issue any shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. On March 2, 2021 the Company sold 814,242 shares of common stock at an average price of $7.83 under the Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering was approximately $6.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

As of June 30, 2022, we had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $14,066,359 that is expected to be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations and expenditures through October 2023. The Company also believes that additional non-dilutive financing will be available under the COVID-19 program upon advancing it further toward or into human clinical trials. The Company also believes that due to the pandemic, it will be possible to rapidly take our anti-coronavirus drug into human clinical trials under the COVID-19 regulatory pathways of the US FDA or other regulatory authorities.

Requirement for Additional Capital

The Company believes that our cash and cash equivalent balance will provide sufficient funds for us to be able to advance at least one of its drug candidates into human clinical trial stage, and to continue our operations through October, 2023 with the available cash. The Company estimates that it will need additional funding to continue further development of its drug candidates through later stages of human clinical trials if it does not form a collaborative licensing or partnership agreement with a party that would provide such funding such as Big Pharma.

Based on our current rate of expenditures and anticipated changes, we have estimated a total cash expenditure budget of approximately $10 million from July 1, 2022 through October 2023, of which approximately $7 million is expected to go towards IND filing and initial human clinical trials of NV-CoV-2, our antiviral treatment for COVID, and approximately $3 million is budgeted for general and administrative expenses.

These anticipated expenses for the subsequent period commencing on July 1, 2022 can be summarized as follows:

​

We estimate that beyond the current budgetary one-year period ending October 15, 2023, to the period ending October 15, 2024, further human clinical development of NV-CoV-2 towards Emergency Use Authorization, followed by expansion of studies towards full approval, for further clinical studies towards full-fledged approval of our Coronavirus drug candidate as may be necessary, development for IND and initial human clinical studies of the NV-HHV-1 Skin Cream for Topical Treatment of Shingles, and for developing additional drug indications based on the Shingles skin cream candidate, NV-HHV-1, in the HerpeCide program, we may need approximately an additional $14 million, or approximately $10 million more than our anticipated remaining cash as of October 2023. The additional funds will be needed to pay additional, subcontract costs related to the expansion and further development of our drug pipeline, for human clinical trials, and for additional capital and operational expenditures

These anticipated additional expenses for the two-year period commencing October 16, 2022 can be summarized as follows:

​

We believe that as we become a clinical stage company, and as our programs mature towards FDA approval, the Company’s market capitalization should improve substantially, based on market capitalizations of comparable public companies in clinical stages. If so, we believe that we will be able to raise the additional necessary funds through public financings as needed. We believe that our coronavirus program is maturing rapidly towards human clinical trials, and if we are successful in achieving an emergency use approval for a coronavirus drug candidate, we may be able to generate substantial revenues during the current pandemic using our existing cGMP-capable manufacturing capacity itself.

We believe we have sufficient funding to take our Coronavirus drug candidate into initial human clinical trials. We will need to raise additional funds to take NV-HHV-1 and additional topical HerpeCide drug candidate indications into an IND application stage. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to the Company to fund these programs. Management believes that as a result of the management plan, the Company’s existing resources and access to the capital markets will permit the Company to fund planned operations and expenditures for at least one year from the filing of the 10-K. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that its plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of its capital resources more rapidly than it currently anticipates.

The Company has limited experience with pharmaceutical drug development. Thus, our budget estimates are not based on experience, but rather based on advice given by our associates and consultants. As such these budget estimates may not be accurate. In addition, the actual work to be performed is not known at this time, other than a broad outline, as is normal with any scientific work. As further work is performed, additional work may become necessary or change in plans or workload may occur. Such changes may have an adverse impact on our estimated budget. Such changes may also have an adverse impact on our projected timeline of drug development.

We believe that the coming year’s work plan will lead us to obtain certain information about the safety and efficacy of our coronavirus drug candidate NV-CoV-2 in human clinical trials. If our studies are not successful, we will have to develop additional drug candidates and perform further studies. If our studies are successful, then we expect to be able to undertake further studies in animal models to obtain necessary data regarding the pharmaco-kinetic and pharmaco-dynamic profiles and further human clinical studies, expanding into Phase 2b, and Phase 3 human clinical trials of our drug candidates.

Our strategy is to minimize capital expenditure. We therefore rely on third party collaborations for the testing of our drug candidates. We continue to engage with our previous collaborators.

Our animal efficacy studies as well as safety/toxicology studies are performed by third parties. We opt into drug developments against specific disease indications for which we have appropriate partners that can perform the necessary cell culture and animal efficacy studies.

We report summaries of its studies as the data becomes available to us, after analyzing and verifying the same, in our press releases. The studies of biological testing of materials provide information that is relatively easy to understand and therefore readily reported. In addition, we continue to engage in substantial work that is needed for the optimization of synthesis routes and for the chemical characterization of the nanoviricide drug candidates. We also continue to work on improving the drug candidates and the virus binding ligands where necessary. We continue to work on creating the information needed for the development of controlled chemical synthesis procedures that is vital for developing c-GMP manufacturing processes. We have also begun to publish what we believe are our extraordinary achievements in the COVID-19 space in peer reviewed journals.

We cannot accurately project the timeline of when we would be able to take a drug candidate into clinical studies, nor can we predict when we may be able to achieve our first drug approval, if any. As such we do not provide any guidance on expected timelines. We have no experience in having taken a single drug through the US FDA or any international drug approval process as of now. As such, we may not be able to estimate the time or cost of these studies accurately. However, we try to do our best by using expert consultants and preparing reasonable estimates based on quotations from various contract research organizations.

Our timelines depend upon several assumptions, many of which are outside the control of the Company, and thus are subject to delays.

Page 97 of 115

Table of Contents

We plan on seeking non-dilutive financing, grants and contracts, as well as pharmaceutical partnerships, as our NV-CoV-2 drug matures into human clinical trials. Management further intends to use capital and debt financing, as required, to fund the Company’s operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional capital resources, non-dilutive financings, grants and contracts, or pharmaceutical partnerships.

The Company is considered to be a development stage company and will continue in the development stage until it generates revenues from the sales of its products or services.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements during the year ended June 30, 2022.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Accounting for Stock Based Compensation – The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement of compensation expense for all shared-based payment awards made to employees, non-employee directors, and non-employees including employee stock options. Shared-based compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and is generally recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Due to the inherent limitation of controls systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some

Page 98 of 115

Table of Contents

persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.

As of June 30, 2022, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of June 30, 2022 due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2022, of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2022 due to the material weakness described below:

Management did not maintain effective procedures pertaining to the review of the 10-K. The material weakness resulted from the lack of timely and effective review of the Company’s period-end closing process and adequate personnel and resources. Specifically, the Company has not established procedures for thorough review by management, on a timely basis, of Form 10-K and other filings. Management’s responsibility is to oversee that the Company is capable of developing accurate and timely financial information. The Company must continue to reinforce additional procedures ensuring that Form 10-K as well as other required filings are done on a timely and accurate basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than what was described below, there were no material changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the year ended June 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, as noted below, we have begun to implement changes in our internal control over financial reporting to address the material weakness described above.

Remediation Plan

The Company has established a financial reporting controls committee comprised of members of senior management and a member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The committee will provide oversight to the Company’s efforts for ensuring appropriate internal control over financial reporting including, but not limited to, remediation of the aforesaid material weakness and identifying and testing for potential internal control weakness in the financial reporting process to assure reliability and accuracy. Management believes the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weakness identified above. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may execute additional measures to address potential control deficiencies or modify the remediation plan described above and will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal controls.

COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES

We believe that the compensation programs for the Company’s executive officers should reflect the Company’s performance and the value created for the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the compensation programs should support the short-term and long-term strategic goals and values of the Company, and should reward individual contributions to the Company’s success. Our compensation plans are consequently designed to link individual rewards with Company’s performance by applying objective, quantitative factors including the Company’s own business performance and general economic factors. We also rely upon subjective, qualitative factors such as technical expertise, leadership and management skills, when structuring executive compensation in a manner consistent with our compensation philosophy.

ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION

BASE SALARY. All full time executives are paid a base salary. Base salaries for our executives are established based on the scope of their responsibilities, professional qualifications, academic background, and the other elements of the executive’s compensation, including stock-based compensation. However, at this time current total annual compensation is not in line with comparable companies, because our philosophy was to pay modest salaries with minimum bonuses to conserve capital resources for future company growth. Our intent is to set executives’ base salaries near the median of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities at comparable companies, in line with our compensation philosophy. Base salaries are reviewed annually, and may be increased to align salaries with market levels after taking into account the subjective evaluation described previously.

EQUITY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture participated in by our executive officers through the use of stock-based awards. Currently, we do not maintain any incentive compensation plans based on pre-defined performance criteria. The Board of Directors has the general authority, however, to award equity incentive compensation, i.e. stock options, to our executive officers in such amounts and on such terms as the committee determines in its sole discretion. The Board of Directors does not have a determined formula for determining the number of options available to be granted. The Board of Directors will review each executive’s individual performance and his or her contribution to our strategic goals periodically. With the exception of stock options automatically granted in accordance with the terms of the employment

Page 103 of 115

Table of Contents

agreement with our executive officers, our Board of Directors grants equity incentive compensation at times when we do not have material non-public information to avoid timing issues and the appearance that such awards are made based on any such information.

DETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION

The Company’s executive compensation program for the named executive officers (NEOs) is administered by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors makes independent decisions about all aspects of NEO compensation, and takes into account compensation data and benchmarks for comparable positions and companies in different applicable geographical areas. The Compensation Committee of the Board assists the Board in achieving these objectives.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF COMPANY COMMON STOCK BY DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

On May 13, 2013, Meeta Vyas was appointed as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. During the term of Ms. Vyas’ service, she will be compensated on the basis of $9,000 per month and 129 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, also on a monthly basis.

The Note was paid off on December 31, 2020. The Note bore interest at the rate of 12% per annum and was secured by a mortgage granted against the Company’s headquarters. Dr. Anil Diwan received 10,000 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock as a loan origination fee which was amortized over the one year term of the loan using the effective interest method. The fair value of the 10,000 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock when issued on December 16, 2019 was $39,301. The Series A preferred stock fair value is based on the greater of the i) the converted value to common at a ratio of 1:3.5; or ii) the value of the voting rights since the Holder would lose the voting rights upon conversion. For the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the preferred shares, the conversion of the shares is triggered by a change of control. Amortization expense on the loan origination fee for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0 and $18,013 respectively, The Company had drawn down $1.1 million of this loan. Interest was payable only on the amount drawn down. The lender had escrowed $132,000 of interest payable pursuant to the Loan. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred interest expense of $0 and $62,773, respectively, which reduced the interest escrow balance included in prepaid expenses to zero.

On May 9, 2019, we entered into an agreement with TheraCour that extended the April 2, 2019 date to June 30, 2019 and on September 24, 2019 we entered into an agreement with TheraCour that extended such date to the later of December 31, 2019 or the filing on an IND with the FDA. Deferred development fees as of June 30, 2021 was $200,000.

On November 1, 2019, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with TheraCour for an exclusive, worldwide license to use, promote, offer for sale, import, export, sell and distribute products for the treatment of Varicella Zoster Virus derived indications. The Company was not required to make any upfront payments to TheraCour and agreed to the following milestone payments to TheraCour; the issuance of 75,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon the grant of an IND Application; $1,500,000 in cash upon completion of Phase I Clinical Trials; $2,500,000 in cash upon completion of Phase II clinical trials; and $5,000,000 in cash upon completion of Phase III clinical trials. In addition, the Company is required to pay to TheraCour fifteen percent (15%) of net sales of licensed products, and any income from sublicensed products. Under the Agreement, TheraCour retains the exclusive right to develop and manufacture the Licensed Products. As in previous licensing agreements with TheraCour, the Company agreed to pay the following amounts to TheraCour to the extent not previously paid under existing licensing agreements: (1) costs (direct and indirect) plus 30%, subject to certain specified exclusions, as a Development Fee and such development fees shall be due and payable in periodic installments as billed and (2) a deposit equal to estimated development costs for two months (refundable), such estimates to be reconciled quarterly. Payments not made within 90 days after due date will be charged an interest at the rate of 1% per month. TheraCour and the Company have agreed to enter into a manufacture and supply agreement, under which TheraCour would manufacture the licensed products exclusively for the Company, and the Company would also have customary backup manufacture rights, as specified in the Agreement. TheraCour may terminate the license upon a material breach by the Company as specified in the agreement. However, the Company may avoid such termination if the breach is cured within 90 days of receipt of such termination.

On December 17, 2019, the Company entered into a Deferred Expense Exchange Agreement with TheraCour whereby TheraCour agreed to exchange $250,000 of deferred development fees owed to TheraCour into 100,000 Series A preferred stock with a fair value of $392,669 for $250,000 previously deferred development fees owed to TheraCour, and recognized a loss on the exchange of $142,669. The Company paid the deferred payments on May 2, 2022.

On September 9, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement for the field comprising anti-viral treatments for coronavirus derived human infections with TheraCour (the “CoV Agreement”). Previously, on June 9, 2020, we had announced signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“CoV MoU”) with respect to anti-viral treatments for coronavirus derived human infections (the “Field”) with TheraCour Pharma, Inc., which is now perfected into this licensing Agreement. The licensed field includes antiviral drugs to treat SARS-CoV-2 and its variants that cause the COVID-19 disease resulting in a global pandemic that continues to rage through the world, wave after wave, as new variants develop and take hold. There was no upfront cash payment for the license and the compensation terms were generally consistent with prior licenses, and are summarized below.

Under the CoV Agreement, the Company obtained a world-wide, exclusive, sub-licensable, license to use, promote, offer for sale, import, export, sell and distribute antiviral drugs that treat human Coronavirus infections using TheraCour’s proprietary as well as patented technology and intellectual property, including the new patent application cited above. The discovery of ligands and polymer materials as well as formulations, the chemistry and chemical characterization, as well as process development and related work will be

performed by TheraCour under the same compensation terms as prior agreements between the parties, with no duplication of costs allowed. We will not make any upfront cash payments to TheraCour and we have agreed to the following milestone payments to TheraCour: 100,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) upon the execution of the Agreement; 50,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock after the grant of the approval of Licensee’s Investigational New Drug (IND) Application, or its equivalent; cash payments of $1,500,000 after the initiation of Phase I clinical trials or its equivalent; $2,000,000 after the completion of Phase 1 Clinical Trials or its equivalent for at least one product within twelve (12) months from the date of the acceptance of the IND; $2,500,000 no later than six (6) months after the completion of Phase 2A Clinical Trials or its equivalent for at least one product within twenty (24) months from the date of the completion of Phase 1 or its equivalent; 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock after the initiation of Phase 3 clinical trials or its equivalent; and, at TheraCour’s option, $5,000,000 in cash or 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, no later than six (6) months after the completion of Phase 3 Clinical Trials or its equivalent for at least one product within thirty-six (36) months from the completion of Phase 2 Clinical Trials or its equivalent. In addition, we agreed to pay to TheraCour fifteen percent (15%) of net sales of licensed products and any income from sublicensed products, consistent with previous agreements. Under the CoV Agreement, TheraCour retains the exclusive right to develop and manufacture the Licensed Products. The Agreement contemplates that the parties will enter into a separate Manufacturing and Supply Agreement for the commercial manufacture and supply of the drug products if and when we intend to engage into commercialization of the drugs. The CoV Agreement provides that the Manufacturing and Supply agreement would be on customary and reasonable terms, on a cost-plus basis, using a market rate based on then-current industry standards, and include customary backup manufacturing rights, as with prior agreements. The Series A Convertible Preferred Shares are only convertible upon a “change of control” of the Company as defined in its full specification, are non-transferrable and have no trading market. Each Series A share carries 9 votes, and is convertible only upon a change of control into 3.5 shares of the Company’s common stock.

To assist in the analysis of the terms of the CoV Agreement, we commissioned research reports on Coronavirus drug market sizes for the Coronavirus antivirals field from an independent consulting agency, Nanotech Plus, LLC. Additionally, we obtained business analysis and valuation reports for potential licensing terms for a coronavirus drug from an independent consultant. NanoViricides was represented by McCarter & English, LLP while TheraCour was represented by DuaneMorris LLP.

COVID-19 Related Drugs: Patent Coverage and Lifetime

Two new International PCT patent applications have been filed relating to the application of the TheraCour polymeric micelle technology to drug development for Coronavirus antiviral drugs including ones for the treatment of COVID-19; PCT/US21/39050 was filed on June 25, 2021. Additionally, PCT/US22/35210 was filed on June 28, 2022, with a request for the same priority date as that of the prior PCT/US21/39050 application. These new broad patents cover new compositions of matter, methods of making them (processes), drug formulations, and uses of the articles of manufacture. The patents resulting from these are expected to have expiry dates extending at least into the year 2043, with additional specific extensions possible in various countries based on regulatory extensions for pharmaceutical products. All ensuing patents will be automatically exclusively licensed to NanoViricides for anti-coronavirus drugs pursuant to the “CoV License Agreement”. The nominal expiry date for these PCT applications would be 20 years, after filing and if issued, i.e. June 24, 2041, and could be extended in certain countries under regulatory extensions to as late as into the year 2043, providing a significant commercial runway.

TheraCour acquired property and equipment on behalf of the Company from third party vendors and sold such property and equipment, to the Company, at cost, in the amounts of $183,428 and $171,668 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 respectively.

Accounts payable to TheraCour were $214,397 and $31,539 at June 30, 2022and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Development costs charged by and paid to TheraCour were $2,369,022 and $2,803,827for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. No royalties are due or have been paid from inception through June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022 TheraCour owned 470,959 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock and 300,000 shares of series A preferred stock, which votes at the rate of nine shares of common stock per each share of series A preferred stock and is convertible into three and one half shares of common stock upon a change in control of the Company. Dr. Diwan, also serves as the CEO and Director of TheraCour and owns approximately 90% of the outstanding capital stock of TheraCour.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

NanoViricides, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NanoViricides, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2022. and 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 its 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 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

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

Related Party Transactions

​

As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company enters into certain agreements which grant exclusive licenses for technologies developed by a related party for various virus types. As part of these agreements, the Company is required to pay certain costs charged by the related party. These costs include research and development costs resulting from their research and development activities which include the performance of preclinical studies and/or clinical trials, compensation and other expenses for research and development personnel, supplies and development material. The Company recorded accounts payable – related party for research and development activities of $214,397 as of June 30, 2022 and research and development costs paid to related party of $2,369,022, included in research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2022.

​

F-2

Table of Contents

We identified the accounting for related party transactions as a critical audit matter due to the materiality of the related party transactions occurring throughout the year and the significant judgment by management to ensure costs being charged are accurate, complete and properly disclosed. This is turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and significant audit effort in applying procedures related to those transactions.

​

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design of the controls related to the Company’s process for identifying related parties and the approval and disclosure of related party transactions. We performed procedures to test the sufficiency of related party assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and expenses for the year then ended. Our procedures included, among others, (i) reading agreements and subsequent amendments; (ii) testing invoices on a sample basis to ensure purchases and expenses are properly recorded in accordance with the agreements and that appropriate approval from management and audit committee was received; and (iii) confirming the accounts payable – related party balance, equipment purchases made on behalf of the Company and the research and development costs paid to the related party. We also made direct inquiries of management and viewed public filings, minutes and agreements for evidence of related parties and that related party transactions were accounted for and disclosed properly.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

NanoViricides, Inc. (the “Company”) is a nano-biopharmaceutical research and development company specializing in the discovery, development, and commercialization of drugs to combat viral infections using its unique and novel nanomedicines technology. NanoViricides is also unique in the bio-pharma field in that it possesses its own state of the art facilities for the design, synthesis, analysis and characterization of the nanomedicines that we develop, as well as for production scale-up, and c-GMP-like production in quantities needed for human clinical trials, where our design, development, and production work is performed. The biological studies such as the effectiveness, safety, bio-distribution and Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics on our drug candidates are performed by external collaborators and contract organizations.

The Company has several drugs in various stages of early development. COVID-19 has become our lead drug program due to the necessity of responding to the pandemic. The Company has a clinical lead candidate NV-CoV-2 for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19 disease) that has shown excellent effectiveness and safety in pre-clinical studies. IND-enabling studies of NV-CoV-2 have been completed. The Company is working on IND writing and engaging a Clinical Trials Clinical Research Organization in pursuit of Phase I/II human clinical trials of this drug. The Company is also working on performing clinical trials of this drug outside the USA. The Company began development of a drug to treat COVID-19 patients just as the cases of the novel disease were being reported from China. The Company cannot provide a timeline at this point because of external dependencies in the filing of regulatory applications, their approval(s) and beginning of clinical trials. As of June 30, 2022, there is only one antiviral drug (remdesivir) approved, and two non-antibody antiviral drugs (Paxlovid, Pfizer and Molnupiravir, Merck) given Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the FDA. Several of previously approved antibody therapies have lost efficacy and their EUAs have been revoked, as the virus mutated and new variants came in the field, as previously predicted by the Company. The antibodies that remain under EUA are expected to lose effectiveness as the virus continues to mutate and new escape variants take over. All of these drug approvals are restricted to specific population subsets, and there is no drug that is generally approved for treatment of COVID-19, particularly for patients with no co-morbidities and not at risk of hospitalization (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/emergency-preparedness-drugs/coronavirus-covid-19-drugs). In addition, there are at least three vaccines licensed in the USA and several more are in use internationally. Internationally, virus variants have continued to emerge with resistance to drugs and vaccines. Scientists believe it is only a matter of time before escape variants against existing antibodies and vaccines, including the newly introduced Omicron/Original Strain bi-valent vaccines, and therapeutics become commonplace. Thus there is an unmet need that the Company’s broad-spectrum, pan-coronavirus drug NV-CoV-2 is expected to fulfill for therapeutics that the virus would not escape by mutations. Additionally, specific populations such as immune-compromised persons, HIV-positive persons, and others would require therapeutics even if they are fully vaccinated, as the weak immune system in these populations limits the ability of vaccines to protect from COVID-19 infection and disease.

In response to the recent Monkeypox virus (MPXV) epidemic, the Company has begun a limited drug development program to treat MPXV patients. At present, while it appears that this epidemic is quieting down, experts expect that this virus will become endemic in the Western world, as it is in the African subcontinent (https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/cases-data/technical-report/report-3.html#dynamics). A vaccine against smallpox appears to have substantial effectiveness in protecting vaccinated persons from MPXV infection. The only currently available drug, tecovirimat, approved for smallpox, has a low escape barrier for virus mutations, and has other limitations on its use. Thus there remains an urgent need for broad-spectrum drugs that can treat MPXV, smallpox, and other poxviruses.

Additionally, in response to the ongoing pediatric “acute flaccid myelitis” (AFM, a disease that can lead to paralysis) cases that appear to be on an uptick, the Company has initiated a limited broad-spectrum drug development program for the treatment of Enterovirus D68 (EV68), the cause of AFM, and potentially other enteroviruses including the poliovirus. Cases of polio have begun to emerge in the United States. Apparently due to loss of “herd immunity” as the poliovirus immunizations in childhood have dropped, the cases are caused by what is believed to a be a revertant of the attenuated strain of poliovirus that is used for vaccination in certain underdeveloped countries.

The Company intends to run both MPXV and EVD68 programs by initially evaluating the Company’s existing drug candidate library for effectiveness. If effective existing drug candidates are found, the Company intends to undertake additional work as well as seek additional financing, preferably via non-dilutive funding sources.

The Company plans on re-engaging our other lead antiviral program against herpes viruses, i.e. the HerpeCideTM program, as soon as it becomes feasible to conduct the corresponding antiviral human clinical studies. In the HerpeCide program alone, the Company has drug candidates against at least five indications at different stages of development. Of these, the Company is advancing the shingles drug candidate towards human clinical trials. The IND-enabling Safety/Toxicology studies required for doing so have been completed and the Company was in the process of preparing an IND application for this drug candidate when the SRAS-CoV-2 virus struck, whereupon we pivoted our efforts to respond to the threat of what has now become the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the Company’s drug candidates against HSV-1 “cold sores” and HSV-2 “genital herpes” are in advanced studies and are expected to follow the shingles drug candidate into human clinical trials. Shingles in adults and chicken pox in children is caused by the same virus, namely VZV (Varicella-zoster virus, aka HHV-3 or human herpesvirus-3). There are estimated to be approximately 120,000-150,000 annual chickenpox cases in the USA in the post-vaccination-era, i.e. since childhood vaccination with the live attenuated varicella virus Oka strain has become standard. In addition, the Company has drugs in development against all influenzas in our FluCideTM program, as well as drug candidates against HIV/AIDS, Dengue, Ebola/Marburg, and other viruses.

The Company’s drugs are based on several patents, patent applications, provisional patent applications, and other proprietary intellectual property held by TheraCour Pharma, Inc. (“TheraCour”), to which the Company has broad, exclusive licenses. The first license agreement the Company executed with TheraCour on September 1, 2005 (“Exclusive License Agreement”), gave the Company an exclusive, worldwide license for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus. On February 15, 2010, the Company executed an Additional Agreement (“Additional License Agreement”) with TheraCour. Pursuant to the Additional License Agreement, the Company was granted exclusive licenses for technologies, developed by TheraCour, for the development of drug candidates for the treatment of Dengue viruses, Ebola/Marburg viruses, Japanese Encephalitis, viruses causing viral Conjunctivitis (a disease of the eye) and Ocular Herpes. In addition, on November 1, 2019, the Company entered into a world-wide, exclusive, sub-licensable, license (“VZV License Agreement”) to use, promote, offer for sale, import, export, sell and distribute drugs that treat VZV infections, using TheraCour’s proprietary as well as patented technology and intellectual property.

Note 2 – Liquidity

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2022 of approximately $122.5 million and a net loss of approximately $8.1 million and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $5.9 million for the fiscal year then ended. In addition, the Company has not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated in the foreseeable future. Since May 2005, the Company has been engaged exclusively in research and development activities focused on developing targeted antiviral drugs. The Company has not yet commenced any product commercialization. Such losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and until such time, if ever, as the Company is able to attain sales levels sufficient to support its operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or maintain profitability in the future. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $14.1 million.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has focused its efforts primarily on a single lead program to minimize cost outlays, namely, taking the COVID-19 drug candidate against SARS-CoV-2 into human clinical trials. The prior lead program for a shingles drug will follow the COVID-19 drug program.

On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into an At The Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. and Kingswood Capital Markets, a division of Benchmark Investments, Inc. (each a “Sales Agent” and collectively, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to the Sales Agents, shares of common stock (the “Placement Shares”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million (the “ATM Offering”). Sales pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made only upon instructions by the Company to the Sales Agents, and the Company cannot provide any assurances that it will issue any shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, capital needs and determinations by the Company of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement and the Company cannot provide any assurances that it will issue any shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Company will pay a commission rate of up to 3.5% of the gross sales price per share sold and agreed to reimburse the Sales Agents for certain specified expenses, including the fees and disbursements of its legal counsel in an amount not to exceed $50,000 and have agreed to reimburse the Sales Agents an amount not to exceed $2,500 per quarter during the term of the Sales Agreement for legal fees to be incurred by the Sales Agents. The Company has also agreed pursuant to the Sales Agreement to provide each Sales Agent with customary indemnification and contribution rights.

On March 2, 2021 the Company sold 814,242 shares of common stock at an average price of $7.83 under the Sales Agreement. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering was approximately $6.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

The Company believes that it has several important milestones that it will be achieving in the ensuing year. Management believes that as it achieves these milestones, the Company’s ability to raise additional funds in the public markets would be enhanced.

The Company has not experienced a direct financial adverse impact of the effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. However, the pandemic required the Company to reorganize its priorities, because of the impact on the ability to conduct antiviral drug trials for the Company’s then lead program for Shingles drug treatment. While clinical trials were in general adversely affected, the ability to enroll patients into the shingles antiviral drug clinical trial with the desired inclusion criteria became limited due to the widespread coronavirus infection. The shingles clinical trial design and conduct would also become more complex The Company pivoted successfully into rapidly developing a drug to treat SARS-CoV-2 infections, since early days of the pandemic. Two of the Company’s novel drug candidates, NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R have reached human clinical readiness status. Of these, the IND-enabling GLP and non-GLP safety/toxicology studies in animal models as well as pre-clinical efficacy studies have been completed for the novel drug candidate NV-CoV-2. The Company is working on IND writing and engaging a Clinical Trials Clinical Research Organization in pursuit of Phase I/II human clinical trials of this drug. The Company is also working on performing clinical trials of this drug outside the USA.

Management believes that the Company’s existing resources will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations and expenditures through October 13, 2023. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that its plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of its capital resources more rapidly than it currently anticipates. The Company will need to raise additional capital to fund its long-term operations and research and development plans including human clinical trials for its various drug candidates until it generates revenue which reaches a level sufficient to provide self-sustaining cash flows. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of such unidentified uncertainties.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock.

The following table shows the number of potentially outstanding dilutive common shares excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculation, as their effect were anti-dilutive:

​

​ ​ ​ ​ ​

​ ​ Potentially Outstanding

​ ​ Dilutive Common Shares

​ ​ For the Years Ended

​

The Company has 484,582 and 371,490 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Only in the event of a “change of control” of the Company, each Series A preferred share is convertible to 3.5 shares of its new common stock. A “change of control” is defined as an event in which the Company’s shareholders become 60% or less owners of a new entity as a result of a change of ownership, merger or acquisition of the Company or the Company’s intellectual property. In the absence of a change of control event, the Series A preferred stock is not convertible into common stock, and does not carry any dividend rights or any other financial effects. At June 30, 2022 and 2021 the number of potentially dilutive shares of the Company’s common stock into which these Series A preferred shares can be converted into is 1,696,037 and 1,300,215, respectively, and is not included in diluted earnings per share since the shares are contingently convertible only upon a change of control.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the Company’s balance sheet and the amounts of expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for but not limited to, accounting for share-based compensation and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value for applicable assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and we consider assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

● Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets and would be charged to earnings. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. The Company has not recorded an impairment charge for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using the straight-line method. The Company generally assigns useful lives of thirty years for assets classified as GMP facility, fifteen years for assets classified as furniture and fixtures, ten years for assets classified as lab equipment, and five years for assets classified as office equipment. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

Trademarks and Patents

The Company amortizes the costs of trademarks and patents on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, the terms of the exclusive licenses and/or agreements, or the terms of legal lives of the patents, whichever is shorter. Upon becoming fully amortized, the related cost and accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the preclinical and/ or clinical trials of drug candidates, compensation and other expenses for research and development, personnel, supplies and development materials, costs for consultants and related contract research and facility costs. Expenditures relating to research and development are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718 – “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement of compensation expense for all shared-based payment awards made to employees, non-employee directors, and non-employees, including employee stock options. Stock-based compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and is generally recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures.

The fair value of common stock issued as employee and non-employee compensation is the average of the open and close share price on the date the common shares are issued.

The Series A preferred shares are not traded in any market. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Series A preferred shares issued as employee and non-employee compensation are presented in Note 10 to the financial statements.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions and a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Income Tax Provision

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying enacted statutory rates to net operating loss carryforwards and to the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes uncertainty in income taxes in the financial statements using a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company applies the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold to all tax positions, which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company has opted to classify interest and penalties that would accrue, if any, according to the provisions of relevant tax law as general and administrative expenses, in the statements of operations. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 the Company paid interest to the state of Connecticut of $1,258 and $0, respectively.

Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in FDIC or SIPC insured institutions in excess of federally insured limits under the FDIC. The Company does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU’s”). There were no recent ASU’s that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheets or statements of operations.
