The Company has relied primarily on its two co-founders, Jonah Meer, Chief Executive Officer, and Ido Merfeld, President, who are its sole directors to manage its day-to-day business and has outsourced professional services to third parties in an effort to maintain lower operational costs.

Messrs. Meer and Merfeld, as the holders of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Class A Preferred Stock, collectively have 66 2/3% of the voting rights of the Company. Acting together, they will be able to influence the outcome of all corporate actions requiring approval of our stockholders.





Plan of Operations



We are an innovative biotechnology company dedicated to developing biotech products, treatments and technologies that create a platform to combat neuronal diseases. We seek to engage in strategic arrangements with companies and institutions that are developing breakthrough technologies in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning, molecular biology, stem cells and tissue engineering, for deployment in the fight against neuronal diseases. Our search is focused on researchers based in Israel, a country which is world-renowned for biotech innovations.

To date, the Company has collaborated with universities and scientists in the fields of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and 3D printable hydrogels to develop a treatment that integrates proprietary, engineer mesenchymal stem cells ("MSCs"), 3D printable implant, smart materials and a novel delivery system and has two product candidates for treating penetrating and non-penetrating (concussion-like) traumatic brain injuries, both integrating proprietary, anti-brain inflammation synthetic hydrogel and modified MSCs.

As a result of the Company's multidiscipline research effort in the field of supramolecular and polymeric materials chemistry and neuronal tissue engineering, on April 3, 2022, the Company filed a US provisional patent application for inventions of therapeutic polypseudorotaxane hydrogels, thereby providing the Company with the option to, in the future, seek protection for these inventions globally. The patent application relates generally to the treatment of pathological central nervous system conditions such as traumatic injury or neurodegenerative disease and the applications of uses of hydrogels in the treatment of such conditions.

We have not generated any revenue from the sale of products.

Operating Expenses


Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $31,064 compared to total operating expenses of $42,798 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2022 is due to an decrease in general and administrative fees from $23,148 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $13,611 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as well as a decrease in research and development expenses from $11,350 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $8,414 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, offset by a small increase in professional fees from $8,300 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $9,039 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred $11,350 of research and development expenses which included service fees related to certain research and development agreements of $3,100 and technology licensing fees of $8,250 as compared to $8,414 in research and development fees for the three months ended June 30, 2022 which included licensing fees of $6,250 and software license and equipment costs of $2,164. The decrease in general and administrative fees for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is due to a decrease in branding and marketing expenses in the three month period ended June 30, 2022.

Operating Expenses


Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $94,620 compared to total operating expenses of $81,161 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is due to a substantial increase in professional fees from $23,940 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $53,905 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to an increase in legal and accounting fees in connection with the Company's filing of a registration statement and prospectus in the six months ended June 30, 2022, offset by a decrease in research and development activities and general and administrative expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 the Company incurred $17,346 of research and development expenses which included service fees related to certain research and development agreements of $4,327, technology licensing fees of $12,500 and purchases of lab supplies and equipment of $519 as compared to $23,186 of research and development expenses which included service fees related to certain research and development agreements of $6,200, technology licensing fees of $16,500, and purchases of lab supplies and equipment of $486 in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Investing Activities



There were no investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.





Financing Activities



Net cash provided by financing activities was $100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $50,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company received net proceeds of $100,000 from a convertible note. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 the Company received $50,000 in proceeds from a related party in the form of unsecured advances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $8,354. We are in the early stage of development and have experienced net losses to date and have not generated revenue from operations which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There are a number of conditions that we must satisfy before we will be able to commercialize potential products and generate revenue, including successful development of product candidates, which includes clinical trials, FDA approval, demonstration of effectiveness sufficient to generate commercial orders by customers, establishing production capabilities as well as effective marketing and sales capabilities for our product. We do not currently have sufficient resources to accomplish any of these conditions necessary for us to generate revenue and expect to incur increasing operating expenses. We will require substantial additional funds for operations, the service of debt and to fund our business objectives. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to us in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms favorable to us. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of equity securities, such as through the issuance and exercise of warrants, then existing stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership interest. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt or other equity instruments, we may be subject to certain limitations in our operations, and issuance of such securities may have rights senior to those of the then existing stockholders. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person or entity to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.

As we continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, we continue exploring sources of debt and equity financings as well as available grants. We are currently exploring and are in discussions for potential strategic alternatives in the biotechnology field which could advance our MSCs and neurodegenerative research. There can be no assurance the necessary financing will be available or that a suitable strategic partner will be identified. In such event, we may explore relationships with third parties to develop or commercialize products or technologies that we have not previously sought to develop or commercialize, decide to exit our existing business, cease operations altogether or pursue an acquisition of our company. However, without additional financing, we do not believe our resources will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs beyond the third quarter of 2022.





Offering


The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on January 11, 2022, to offer and sell up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock in a self-underwritten primary offering at a fixed price of $0.70 per share which was declared effective on January 11, 2022. To date, no shares have been sold and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in selling any of the shares being offered.





Going Concern


Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. Our report from our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 includes an explanatory paragraph stating the Company has recurring losses and limited operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments which are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of their evaluation form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and circumstances. Our significant accounting policies are more fully discussed in Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements contained herein.

Research and Development Costs: The Company charges research and development costs to expense when incurred in accordance with FASB ASC 730, Research and Development. Research and development costs were $17,346 and $23,186 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation and Other Share-Based Payments: The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, using the fair value method on grant date. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The expense attributable to the Company's directors is recognized over the period the amounts are earned and vested, and the expense attributable to the Company's non-employees is recognized when vested, as described in Note 9, Stock Plan.

Advertising and Marketing Costs: Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred no advertising and marketing costs during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Warrants: The Company accounts for common stock warrants in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. For warrants classified as equity instruments the Company applies the Black Scholes model and expenses the fair value as financing costs. For warrants classified as derivative financial instruments the Company applies the Monte Carlo model to value the warrants.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to have a material effect on the Company's operations, financial position or cash flows.
