Business Overview
Regnum Corp. was incorporated on March 31, 2016, under the laws of the State of
Nevada. The Company was formed for a primary business purpose of servicing the
increasing demand for premium entertainment content and becoming a depository of
unpublished intellectual properties for resale with focus on achieving
profitability and sustaining business growth. Following the acquisition by
Phoenixus AG ("Phoenixus") on April 7, 2021, the Company's prior business model
was abandoned.

Business Outlook
Since April 2021, the Company's business model is focused on developing and
commercializing therapeutics that treat rare and infectious diseases,
specifically in populations that are neglected or face adherence challenges due
to inconvenient dosing or delivery system, tolerability, or cost and
accessibility of available therapeutic options. Under certain license and
commercial agreements with CytoDyn which were assigned to the Company in January
2022, the Company's primary asset is the commercial rights to leronlimab (also
known as "PRO 140") in all human immunodeficiency virus ("HIV") indications
within the United States. Leronlimab is the subject of a current Biologics
License Application ("BLA") that has been submitted in part to the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration ("FDA") with an indication to treat Multi-Drug Resistant HIV
infection, with the potential for multiple additional therapeutic indications in
HIV. As of the date of this report, the FDA's review of the BLA is ongoing.
Since the FDA approval process is ongoing and its outcome is uncertain, we are
also seeking to acquire or in-license other pharmaceutical products or product
candidates, although no products have been identified to date.
The Company is party to the following service agreements with Vyera, which is a
subsidiary of Phoenixus (together, the "Shared Services Agreements"): (i) a
Management and Business Consulting Agreement, wherein Vyera is the service
provider; (ii) a Shared Services Agreement; and (iii) a Research and Development
Services Agreement. Through these agreements, Regnum can receive and provide
general and administrative support, and Regnum is able to receive management
level business strategy consulting and research and development services.
Services are invoiced to each party at an arm's length markup. Disruption or
interruption of any of these Shared Services Agreements, while not anticipated,
could interfere in continuity of our operations.
Trends Affecting Our Business
Our industry is highly dynamic and competitive, with technological and
scientific innovation paving the way for new products that may transform our
industry. We anticipate the recent capital markets downturn in the biotechnology
sector to affect our ability to secure additional funding. We do not currently
generate revenue from product sales and anticipate we will need additional
funding in order to continue our operations at their current levels, to conduct
our commercialization activities for leronlimab if it is approved by the FDA,
and to pay the costs associated with being a public company, for the next 12
months. To the extent we in-license or acquire additional products or
technologies, we will also require additional funding in the future to support
our operations. Additional financing may not be available to us on terms that
are acceptable or at all.
Plan of Operations
We had negative working capital of $657,425 as of March 31, 2022. We anticipate
the need for additional funding in order to continue our operations at their
current levels, and to pay the costs associated with being a public company. We
may also require additional funding in the future to expand or complete
acquisitions. In the event we require additional funding, we plan to raise the
necessary funding through the sale of debt or equity, which may not be available
on favorable terms, if at all, and may, if sold, cause significant dilution to
existing stockholders. If we are unable to access additional capital moving
forward, it may hurt our ability to grow and to generate future revenues.
We reiterate that the Company's business plan changed significantly and
materially in April 2021, during the period for which the comparative financial
statements presented hereby cover. As a result, financial results for 2021 do
not represent the Company's potential results in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2022 to the three months ended
March 31, 2021
Revenue
We had no revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, or March 31, 2021,
which was the result of a change in business model as Wookey sold the
controlling shares to Phoenixus in April of 2021.
Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $277,602,
which consisted of $95,097 for legal and professional fees, general and
administrative expenses of $171,409, and interest expense of $11,096. For the
three months ended March 31, 2021, operating expenses were $3,340, which
consisted of legal and professional fees of $2,860, and general and
administrative expenses of $480. The majority of legal and professional fees in
the first Quarter of 2022 were related to assignment of Commercial and License
Agreement and Supply Agreement, due diligence related to business development
efforts, and auditing. The increase in general and administrative expenses is
related to services provided under shared services agreements entered in
September of 2021.
The Company had a net loss of $277,602 for the three months ended March 31,
2022, as compared to net loss of $3,340 for the three months ended March 31,
2021. The increase in net loss is due to increased expenses for legal and
professional fees and general and administrative expenses as the Company works
to execute its new business model and identify business development
opportunities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's cash position was $1,400,107 on March 31, 2022, and $0 on March
31, 2021. The increase in cash is the result of funds received in October of
2021 under a promissory note from the Company's principal shareholder,
Phoenixus, to support clinical development and general expenses. As of March 31,
2022, the Company had current assets of $1,400,607 and current liabilities of
$2,058,032 as compared to $1,488,919 and $1,868,742, respectively, as of
December 31, 2021. This resulted in negative working capital of $657,425 on
March 31, 2022, and $379,823 on December 31, 2021.
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities
amounted to $88,312, as compared to using $0 net cash for the three months ended
March 31, 2021. The increase in net cash used is as a result of payments made to
third parties for Legal and Professional and General and Administrative
expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the three months ended March
31, 2022 and 2021.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities
We do not currently have any additional commitments or identified sources of
additional capital from third parties or from our officers, directors, or
majority stockholders. Additional financing may not be available on favorable
terms, if at all.
In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling
additional debt or equity securities, or otherwise be required to bring cash
flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of
additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to
our then stockholders. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms
acceptable to us, or at all. In the event we are unable to raise additional
funding and/or obtain revenues sufficient to support our expenses, we may be
forced to curtail or abandon our business operations, and any investment in the
Company could become worthless.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to
make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. We monitor our estimates on an ongoing basis for changes
in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur
in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they
become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and other
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do
not turn out to be substantially accurate.
Certain of our accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal
and understanding of our financial position and results of operations and
require us to apply significant judgment in their application. As a result,
these policies are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Our critical
accounting policies are outlined in "Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies" to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report.
Emerging Growth Company
Section 107 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the
"JOBS Act") provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the
extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act
for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an
"emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards
until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have
elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies
that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the financial statements included
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
