PART I Item 1. Business Overview We are a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company committed to using our genetically modified cellular and immune-therapy technologies to prevent or potentially cure HIV, Hepatitis B (HBV), and to provide potentially life-long cancer remission of some of the deadliest cancers. In the event our technologies are approved for use, we plan to do this by genetically modifying, or re-engineering, different types of cells, depending on the therapeutic area, and then injecting or reinfusing the re-engineered cells back into the patient to provide treatment. In some of our planned interventions, immunotherapy could be used. Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV, and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, or AIDS HIV attacks the body’s own immune system, specifically killing off CD4+ cells, or T-cells. Left untreated, HIV reduces the number of T-cells in the body, leading to AIDs, a condition where the body cannot fight off common infections and disease. Currently there are over 30 antiretroviral drugs, or ART, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to treat HIV patients but these drugs are expensive, require daily adherence and can have significant side effects over time. In addition, approximately 1 million people, including in high-income countries, continue to die from HIV/AIDS due to resistance to ART or lack of access. Today there are no treatments that can eliminate the reservoir of cells that contain HIV from the body. In other words, treatment is life-long. There have been several efforts to cure HIV by re-engineering a person’s own T-cells so that such cells no longer express C-C chemokine receptor type 5, also known as CCR5, which is an essential co-receptor for HIV to enter T-cells. A mutation that blocks expression of CCR5 on T-cells occurs in a small percentage of people with no known adverse effects. The “Berlin patient”, and more recently the “London patient” are HIV- positive persons who developed cancer and were treated with a bone marrow transplant with cells derived from persons with a naturally occurring deletion of CCR5. The Berlin and London patients seem to be effectively cured from HIV providing a proof of concept that HIV can be cured. However, because the transplanted cells come from another person, such transplants are highly toxic and can result in death in a significant proportion of patients. Given the success with these two patients, several researchers and companies have attempted to replicate the experience of such patients by genetically modifying the T-cells of the HIV-positive patients themselves and reinfusing them with T-cells that do not express CCR5. Because the transplanted cells are from the same person, the risks to the patient are much lower. The uptake, or engraftment of the modified, reinfused cells, however, has not been optimal, leading to a failure to achieve a cure. In addition, the transplant conditioning that has been used is myeloablative chemotherapy, wiping out the patient’s immune system, which has inherent risks and can have long-term side effects including the risk of developing cancer. ENOB-HV-01 is a novel, proprietary approach with the potential to overcome the failures of recent efforts. The intervention: 1) provides gene-modified, reinfused cells with a competitive advantage over non-modified cells in the HIV-positive person, with the potential to significantly increase engraftment; and 2) avoids the need for myeloablative chemotherapy and, in fact, could potentially be given on an outpatient basis. The Company met with the FDA’s INTERACT team on June 2, 2020. INTERACT is the first available FDA interaction and is a key step in the process towards a potential Investigational New Drug (IND) to study First-in-Human products potentially leading to marketing authorization via Biologics License Application (BLA). The FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) has numerous INTERACT requests and only grants meetings that are deemed appropriate for this early FDA engagement. The Enochian management team considered the meeting to have been successful with strong alignment between Enochian’s approach to developing ENOB-HV-01 and the comments of the FDA reviewers. Initial scientific findings from a mouse study on the ENOB-HV-01 approach were presented at the annual conference of the American Society of Cell and Gene Therapy (ASCGT) in May 2020. We are also developing ENOB-HV-11 and ENOB-HV-12 that will utilize a novel cellular- and immunotherapy approach that could potentially provide for a preventative vaccine and a therapeutic vaccine, respectively. A non-human primate study is in process. We are in the early discovery phase of two additional product candidates related to our HIV pipeline. ENOB-HV-31, which is an in vivo gene therapy, and ENOB-HV-32, which is a peptide drug for packaging and distribution. 1 Hepatitis B (HBV) Despite the availability of an effective vaccine, Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is the world’s most common serious liver infection. It is the leading cause of liver cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the world. Two billion people have been infected with HBV, approximately 250 million have chronic HBV infection, and nearly one million people die every year. Current efforts to develop novel treatment or cure largely focus on approaches to deplete the pool of a certain type of HBV DNA. Enochian has partnered with Seraph Research Institute to develop an innovative approach to co-opt HBV polymerase to induce the death of liver cells infected with the virus. The initial in vitro and in vivo work was presented at the biannual HEP DART meeting in December of 2019, where it was selected as one of the best new therapies/novel strategies. Additional data was presented at the annual conference of the ASCGT in May 2020. On July 27, 2020, Enochian announced the creation of an HBV Scientific Advisory Board comprised of distinguished leaders in HBV disease, treatment and cure. Cancer Based on learning from peer-reviewed publications of Phase I/IIa trials, we have designed an innovative therapeutic vaccination platform that could potentially be used to induce life-long remissions from some of the deadliest solid tumors. Initial preclinical in vitro studies have been encouraging. We plan to initially target pancreatic cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, glioblastoma, and renal cell carcinoma. The platform might also allow for non-specific immune enhancement that could have impact against a broad array of solid tumors. As with HIV, our approach would potentially allow for outpatient therapy without ablating or significantly impairing the patient’s immune system, as many current approaches require. Our Product Candidates We are focused on the development of human therapeutics for infectious diseases and cancers. We are advancing a focused pipeline of innovative gene therapies that have been developed internally. We have proprietary preclinical and discovery stage programs in HIV/AIDS, HBV and cancer immunotherapy. A summary table of our key development programs as of September 2020 is provided below: ENOB-HV-01 Autologous Cell Therapy Our lead candidate, ENOB-HV-01 is being developed to improve on the hypothesis that an allogeneic bone marrow transplant procedure could represent a potential curative treatment for HIV. ENOB-HV-01 seeks instead to develop a method of bone marrow transplant using autologous (the patient’s own cells) CD34+ cells, which could have significant advantages over allogeneic bone marrow transplants. The prevailing hypothesis is that an autologous treatment could become available to most patients suffering from HIV/AIDS, and there is no need for matched donors and no risk of “Graft versus Host Disease” (when the immune system of the treated patient rejects and destroys the transplanted cells). ENOB-HV-01 as it is being developed seeks to silence the CCR5 gene in cells of a patient’s immune system to make these cells permanently resistant to HIV infection, by mimicking the naturally occurring CCR5 delta- 32 mutation that renders a population of individuals largely resistant to infection by the most common strains of HIV. The aim of this approach is to provide the patient with a population of HIV-resistant CD4 cells that can fight HIV and opportunistic infections. 2 In May 2020, the Company presented at the ASCGT annual conference that provided the first description of a novel approach to potentially cure HIV. Genetic modification of cells to overexpress an important enzyme (ALDH1) protected them from dying when they were treated with low doses of a chemotherapeutic drug, cyclophosphamide. This innovative strategy resulted in a one hundred and sixty-four percent (164%) increase in engraftment of transplanted cells in a mouse model. Currently, we are conducting in vitro and in vivo studies of ENOB-HV-01 through partnerships with The Scripps Institute, and other leading scientists and academic centers that we expect to lead to completion of the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Control (“CMC”) requirements for an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) filing. ENOB- HV-11 (preventive) and ENOB-HV-12 (therapeutic) Vaccine ENOB-HV-11 and ENOB-HV-12 are being developed as a preventative vaccine and therapeutic vaccine, respectively. We are advancing the preventative vaccine and a therapeutic vaccine program through partnerships with The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and other leading scientists and academic centers that we expect to lead to completion of the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Control (“CMC”) requirements for an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) filing. ENOB-HB-01 Coopting HBV Polymerase ENOB-HB-01 as it is being developed seeks to trick or “hijack” a key HBV protein to induce the death of cells infected with HBV, but not uninfected cells. At the HEP DART meeting in December 2019, we showed that a novel approach killed up to 97 percent of cells infected with HBVin vitro. In May 2020, the Company presented at the ASCGT annual conference data from several in vivo studies demonstrate that HBV Hijack RNA induces cell death of HBV-infected hepatocytes resulting in inflammation and increased liver enzymes. ENOB-DB-01 MCV Vaccine Technology and ENOB-DC-01 Off-the-shelf DC Vaccine pulsed with MCV ENOB-DB-01 was developed as a therapeutic cancer vaccine for long-term maintenance and prevention of relapse for stage III and IV colon cancer patients. ENOB-DC-01 is being developed as an improvement on ENOB-DB-01 (formerly “MCV”), as a dendritic cell cancer vaccine designed to prevent relapse in colon cancer patients with no evidence of disease after resection and chemotherapy. We are currently in the discovery/research stage, and we believe a succession of strong clinical success in the field of checkpoint inhibitors has spawned a renewed interest in the development of cancer vaccines. We plan to use new clinical data to and existing data on ENOB-DB-01 to develop ENOB-DC-01. ENOB-DC-11 Innovative DC Vaccine for Multiple Solid Tumors ENOB-DC-11 is being developed as an off the shelf, universal, dendritic cell as a delivery system for more specifically tailored cancer treatments. In this approach, immature dendritic cells are differentiated from monocytes derived from bone marrow stem cells. During the production process, monocytes are genetically modified to elicit cellular, humoral and systemic immune response by activating the cytotoxic response pathway, reactive B cell response, which induces a pan-activated immune response against the “target” we are loading the dendritic cells with. The genetic modifications of these monocytes include a single chain proprietary/unique sequence that we have developed. The genetically modified monocytes then differentiate into immature dendritic cells that are pulsed with tumor lysate or neopeptides and matured with a proprietary cocktail that could be used as a therapeutic vaccine. Initial in vitro studies show substantial increases in tumor-cell killing. We are currently in the pre-clinical phase of this product line. ENOB-DC-21 Non-specific vaccine for intratumoral injection ENOB-DC-21 builds on insights gained from multiple avenues including the other cancer pipeline products discussed above. We are in the discovery/research phase of this product line. Collaborations We have established strategic partnerships with leading scientists and centers, such as The Scripps Institute, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and The Hepatitis B Foundation and Baruch S. Blumberg Institute, for several of our programs. We will continue to pursue partnerships when appropriate with selected philanthropic, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to fund internal research and development activities, and to assist in product development and commercialization. We are applying our technology platform to several commercial applications in which our products provide us and our strategic partners and collaborators with potential technical, competitive and economic advantages. 3 Our Intellectual Property Patents and licenses are important to our business. Our strategy is to file or license patent applications to protect technology, inventions and improvements to inventions that we consider important for the development of our business. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws, as well as continuing technological innovations, proprietary knowledge, and various third party agreements, including, without limitation, confidentiality agreements, materials transfer agreements, research agreements and licensing agreements, to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We aim to take advantage of all of the intellectual property rights that are available to us and seek protection of those rights so that we can fully exploit our innovations. We also protect our proprietary information by requiring our employees, consultants, contractors and other advisors to execute nondisclosure and assignment of invention agreements upon commencement of their respective employment or engagement. Our patent filings are discussed briefly below.

(See Note 9 in the Financial Statements) Competition The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, including in the field of gene therapy, are characterized by rapidly advancing technologies, intense competition and a strong emphasis on intellectual property. While we believe that our technology platforms, strong intellectual property portfolio and scientific expertise in the gene therapy field provide us with competitive advantages, we face potential competition from many different sources, including larger and better-funded pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, new market entrants and new technologies. We are aware of several companies focused on other methods for editing genes and regulating gene expression and a limited number of commercial and academic groups pursuing the development of gene regulation and genome editing technology. The field of applied gene regulation and genome editing is highly competitive, and we expect competition to persist and intensify in the future from several different sources, including pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies; academic and research institutions; and government agencies. Accordingly, our competitors may succeed in obtaining patent protection, receiving FDA approval, or commercializing competitive products before us. If we commence commercial product sales, we may be competing against companies with greater marketing and manufacturing capabilities, areas in which we have limited or no experience. In addition, any product candidate that we successfully develop may compete with existing products that have long histories of safe and effective use. The competitive landscape that we are facing is as follows: Gene therapy companies developing gene-based products in clinical trials. uniQure N.V.’s product for lipoprotein lipase deficiency and GlaxoSmithKline plc’s, or GSK, product for severe combined immunodeficiency due to adenosine deaminase deficiency are approved in Europe. No other gene therapy products have yet been approved. Our competitors in this category may include, but not be limited to, Sangamo, uniQure N.V., bluebird bio, Inc., Regenxbio Inc., Shire, Pfizer, and GSK. Cell therapy companies developing cell-based products. Our competitors in this category may include Novartis AG, Adaptimmune Therapeutics PLC, Atara Biotherapeutics, Inc., bluebird bio, Inc., Cellectis S.A., Juno Therapeutics, Inc., Kite Pharma, and Iovance Biotechnologies, Inc. For ENOB-HV-01, we are aware of two companies developing a gene therapy for HIV/AIDS: Sangamo and American Gene Technology. For ENOB-HV-11 and ENOB-HV-12, we are aware of a few biotech companies developing an HIV vaccine such as Geovax, Biosantech SA, FIT Biotech, among a few others. For ENO--DC-11, the competitive landscape is more complex. 5 Immunotherapy is an active area of research and a number of immune-related products have been identified in recent years that are alleged to modulate the immune system. Many of these products utilize dendritic cells, a form of immune cell that presents cancer target peptides to T cells and that can in turn result in T cell activation. More recently, bi-specific antibodies and checkpoint inhibitors (for instance PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies) have been identified as having utility in the treatment of cancer. Bi-specific antibodies commonly target both the cancer peptide and the T cell receptors (“TCR”), thus bringing both cancer cells and T cells into close proximity to maximize the chance of TCR binding and hence an immune response to the cancer cells. Checkpoint inhibitors on the other hand work by targeting receptors that inhibit T cell effectiveness and proliferation and essentially activate T cells. Other immunotherapies that are being actively investigated include antibody-drug complexes, TCR-mimic antibodies, oncolytic viruses, and cancer vaccines. A variety of cell-based autologous and allogeneic approaches are also being researched and developed. CAR-T in solid tumors In addition to hematological malignancies, there are a growing number of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and academic institutions researching and developing autologous and allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor T cell (“CAR-T”) therapies in the solid tumor setting. These CAR-T cell therapies are at a variety of stages of preclinical and clinical development, as well as directed towards a broad target spectrum. Two Car-T therapies have been approved for treatment of leukemia. CARs&TCR-mimics targeting peptide-HLA complexes Most CAR-T therapies in development are directed towards antigen targets. However, competitors are also developing a CAR-T that selectively binds to the peptide-HLA (pHLA) complex (the natural binding site for endogenous TCR). Furthermore, competitors are also looking at pHLA antibodies or TCR mimic antibodies that can either be engineered in T cells or developed as standalone antibody therapies in cancer indications (including solid tumors). TCRTcells Competitors are developing TCR T cells (including affinity engineered T cells) that are directed towards a multitude of targets. Juno Therapeutics has developed an engineered TCR therapeutic candidate where the end TCR is purported to have enhanced affinity through stem-cell selection. Other cell-based approaches In addition to all the adoptive cell therapy approaches above, our competitors are also investigating the potential of GammaDelta T cell, CAR-NK cell, NK cell, NKT cell and CTLs either in a preclinical or clinical setting (both hematologic malignancies and solid tumors). Manufacturing Our intent is to rely on contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”), to produce our preclinical and clinical product candidates in accordance with FDA and EMA mandated regulations, also known as current good manufacturing practices, (“cGMPs”). We employ a technical operations staff in the areas of process development, analytical development, quality control, quality assurance, project management, and manufacturing, which will facilitate appropriate oversight of our CMOs, support of our regulatory filings and execution of clinical trials. Government Regulation FDA Review and Approval Government authorities in the United States, at the federal, state and local level, and other countries extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacture, quality control, approval, labeling, packaging, storage, record-keeping, promotion, advertising, distribution, post-approval monitoring and reporting, marketing and export and import of products such as those we are developing. Any products we develop will require regulatory review and allowance to proceed prior to conducting clinical trials and additional regulatory approvals prior to commercialization. In the United States, the FDA regulates drugs under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) and the Public Health Service Act (PHSA) and their implementing regulations govern, among other things, biopharmaceutical testing, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising, and other promotional practices. Obtaining FDA approval is a costly and time-consuming process. Generally, FDA approval requires that preclinical studies be conducted in the laboratory and in animal model systems to gain preliminary information on efficacy and to identify any major safety concerns. The results of these studies are then submitted as a part of an IND, which the FDA must review and allow before human clinical trials can start. The IND includes a detailed description of the proposed clinical investigations. An independent Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) must also review the clinical protocol. A company must submit an IND for each investigational medical product and specific indication(s), and must conduct clinical studies to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the product necessary to obtain FDA approval. The FDA receives reports on the progress of each phase of clinical testing and may require the modification, suspension, or termination of clinical trials if an unwarranted risk is presented to patients. 6 To obtain FDA approval prior to marketing a biopharmaceutical product in the United States typically requires several phases of clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the product candidate. Clinical trials are the means by which experimental treatments are tested in humans and are conducted following preclinical testing. Clinical trials may be conducted within the United States or in foreign countries. If clinical trials are conducted in foreign countries, the products under development as well as the trials are subject to regulations of the FDA and/or its regulatory counterparts in the other countries. Upon successful completion of clinical trials, approval to market the treatment for a particular patient population may be requested from the FDA in the United States and/or its counterparts in other countries. Clinical trials for therapeutic products are normally conducted in three phases. Phase 1 clinical trials are typically conducted with a small number of patients to evaluate safety, determine a safe dosage range, identify side effects, and, if possible, gain early evidence of effectiveness. Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted with a larger group of patients to evaluate effectiveness of an investigational product for a defined patient population, and to determine common short-term side effects and risks associated with the drug. Phase 3 clinical trials involve large scale, multi-center, comparative trials that are conducted to evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of the investigational product and to provide an adequate basis for product labeling. In some special cases where the efficacy testing of a product may present a special challenge to testing in humans, such as in the case of a vaccine to protect healthy humans from a life-threatening disease that is not a naturally occurring threat, effectiveness testing may be required in animals. For certain advanced therapies that meet eligibility criteria for expedited program Designations, clinical development may be expedited. Clinical trials involve the administration of the biologic product candidate to healthy volunteers or patients under the supervision of qualified investigators which generally are physicians not employed by, or under, the control of the trial sponsor. Clinical trials are conducted under written study protocols detailing, among other things, the objectives of the clinical trial, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria and the parameters to be used to monitor subject safety, including stopping rules that assure a clinical trial will be stopped if certain adverse events should occur. Each protocol and any amendments to the protocol must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. Clinical trials must be conducted and monitored in accordance with the FDA’s regulations comprising the Good Clinical Practice (“GCP”) requirements, including the requirement that all research subjects provide informed consent. Further, each clinical trial must be reviewed and approved by an IRB at or servicing each institution at which the clinical trial will be conducted. An IRB is charged with protecting the welfare and rights of trial participants and considers items such as whether the risks to individuals participating in the clinical trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the form and content of the informed consent that must be signed by each clinical trial subject, or their legal representative, reviews and approves the study protocol, and must monitor the clinical trial until completed. Clinical trials involving recombinant DNA also must be reviewed by an institutional biosafety committee, or IBC, a local institutional committee that reviews and oversees basic and clinical research that utilizes recombinant DNA at that institution. The IBC assesses the safety of the research and identifies any potential risk to public health or the environment. After completion of clinical trials of a new product, FDA marketing approval must be obtained. If the product is regulated as a biologic, a Biologics License Application, or BLA, is required. If the product is classified as a new drug, a New Drug Application, or NDA is required. The NDA or BLA must include results of product development activities, preclinical studies, and clinical trials in addition to detailed chemistry, manufacturing and control information. Applications submitted to the FDA are subject to an unpredictable and potentially prolonged approval process. Despite good-faith communication and collaboration between the applicant and the FDA during the development process, the FDA may ultimately decide, upon final review of the data, that the application does not satisfy its criteria for approval or requires additional product development or further preclinical or clinical studies. Even if FDA regulatory approval(s) are obtained, a marketed product is subject to continual review, and later discovery of previously unknown problems or failure to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements may result in restrictions on the marketing of a product or withdrawal of the product from the market as well as possible civil or criminal sanctions. Before marketing approval for a product can be secured, the facility in which the product is manufactured must be inspected by the FDA and must comply with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices, (“cGMP”) regulations. In addition, after marketing approval is secured, the manufacturing facility must be inspected periodically for cGMP compliance by FDA inspectors, and, if the facility is located in California, by inspectors from the Food and Drug Branch of the California Department of Health Services. Sponsors of clinical trials are required to register, and report results for, all controlled, clinical investigations, other than Phase 1 investigations, of a product subject to FDA regulation. Trial registration may require public disclosure of certain confidential commercial development data. Orphan Drug Designation Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may grant orphan designation to a product intended to treat a rare disease or condition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States, or more than 200,000 individuals in the United States and for which there is no reasonable expectation that the cost of developing and making a product available in the United States for this type of disease or condition will be recovered from sales of the product. Orphan designation must be requested before submitting an NDA or BLA. Orphan designation does not convey any advantage in or shorten the duration of the regulatory review and approval process. If a product that has orphan designation subsequently receives the first FDA approval for such product for the disease or condition for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to orphan product exclusivity, which means that the FDA may not approve any other applications to market the same product for the same indication for seven years, except in limited circumstances, such as a showing of clinical superiority to the product with orphan exclusivity. Competitors, however, may receive approval of different products for the indication for which the orphan product has exclusivity or obtain approval for the same product but for a different indication for which the orphan product has exclusivity. If a product designated as an orphan product receives marketing approval for an indication broader than what is designated, it may not be entitled to orphan product exclusivity. 7 Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance Regulations Although we currently do not have any products on the market, we may also be subject to additional healthcare regulation and enforcement by the federal government and by authorities in the states and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct our business. Such laws include, without limitation, state and federal anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, false claims, privacy and security and physician sunshine laws and regulations. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of such laws or any other governmental regulations that apply, they may be subject to penalties, including, without limitation, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, the curtailment or restructuring of operations, exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, additional integrity obligations, and individual imprisonment. These additional healthcare regulations could affect our current and future arrangements with healthcare professionals, principal investigators, consultants, customers and third-party payors. Moreover, the introduction of legislation, implementation of new regulations, or enforcement of existing regulations that have a negative impact on the commercial prospects for the types of products we are developing could negatively impact our share price and our ability to raise capital. Coverage and Reimbursement Significant uncertainty exists as to the coverage and reimbursement status of any product candidate that receives regulatory approval. In the United States and markets in other countries, sales of our product candidates, if approved, will depend, in part, on the extent to which third-party payors provide coverage and establish adequate reimbursement levels. In the United States, third-party payors include federal and state healthcare programs, government authorities, private managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Third-party payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the medical necessity and reviewing the cost-effectiveness of medical drug products and medical services, in addition to questioning their safety and efficacy. Such payors may limit coverage to specific drug products on an approved list, also known as a formulary, which might not include all the FDA-approved drugs for a particular indication. Moreover, the process for determining whether a third-party payor will provide coverage for a drug product may be separate from the process for setting the price of a drug product or for establishing the reimbursement rate that such a payor will pay for the drug product. A payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drug product does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Further, one payor’s determination to provide coverage for a drug product does not assure that other payors will also provide coverage for the drug product. Further, third-party payers are increasingly challenging the price of medical products and services. If purchasers or users of our products are not able to obtain adequate reimbursement for the cost of using our products, they may forego or reduce their use. Significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products, and whether adequate third-party coverage will be available. Healthcare Reform In March 2010, former President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, which substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers in the United States, and significantly affected the pharmaceutical industry. The Affordable Care Act contains a number of provisions, including those governing enrollments in federal healthcare programs, reimbursement adjustments and fraud and abuse changes. Additionally, the Affordable Care Act increases the minimum level of Medicaid rebates payable by manufacturers of brand name drugs; requires collection of rebates for drugs paid by Medicaid managed care organizations; requires manufacturers to participate in a coverage gap discount program, under which they must agree to offer point-of-sale discounts off negotiated prices of applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for the manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be covered under Medicare Part D; and imposes a non-deductible annual fee on pharmaceutical manufacturers or importers who sell “branded prescription drugs” to specified federal government programs. Since its enactment, there have been judicial and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the Affordable Care Act, and we expect there will be additional challenges and amendments to the Affordable Care Act in the future. Other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted, including aggregate reductions of Medicare payments to providers and reduced payments to several types of Medicare providers. Moreover, there has recently been heightened governmental scrutiny over the manner in which manufacturers set prices for their marketed products, which has resulted in several Congressional inquiries and proposed bills designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to product pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for drug products. Individual states in the United States have also become increasingly active in implementing regulations designed to control pharmaceutical product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, proposing to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing. 8 We also are subject to various federal, state and local laws, regulations, and recommendations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices, the experimental use of animals, and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including radioactive compounds and infectious disease agents, used in connection with our research. The extent of government regulation that might result from any future legislation or administrative action cannot be accurately predicted. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Our business activities may be subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and similar anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws, regulations or rules of other countries in which we operate. The FCPA generally prohibits offering, promising, giving, or authorizing others to give anything of value, either directly or indirectly, to a non-U.S. government official in order to influence official action, or otherwise obtain or retain business. The FCPA also requires public companies to make and keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the corporation and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Our business is heavily regulated and therefore involves significant interaction with public officials, including officials of non-U.S. governments. Additionally, in many other countries, the health care providers who prescribe pharmaceuticals are employed by their government, and the purchasers of pharmaceuticals are government entities; therefore, our dealings with these prescribers and purchasers are subject to regulation under the FCPA. There is no certainty that all of our employees, agents, suppliers, manufacturers, contractors, or collaborators, or those of our affiliates, will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, particularly given the high level of complexity of these laws. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers, or our employees, the closing down of facilities, including those of our suppliers and manufacturers, requirements to obtain export licenses, cessation of business activities in sanctioned countries, implementation of compliance programs, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business. Any such violations could include prohibitions on our ability to offer our products in one or more countries as well as difficulties in manufacturing or continuing to develop our products, and could materially damage our reputation, our brand, our international expansion efforts, our ability to attract and retain employees, and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. Employees As of June 30, 2020, we had 10 full-time employees. We believe that we have good relations with our employees. Corporate Information On February 16, 2018, we completed our acquisition of Enochian Biopharma pursuant to an acquisition agreement, dated January 12, 2018, by and among the Registrant, its wholly owned subsidiary DanDrit Acquisition Sub, Inc., Enochian Biopharma and Weird Science (the “Acquisition Agreement”), with Enochian Biopharma surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. As consideration for the acquisition, the stockholders of Enochian Biopharma received (i) 18,081,962 shares of Common Stock and (ii) the right to receive Contingent Shares pro rata upon the exercise or conversion of warrants which were outstanding at closing (See Note 1 to the Financial Statements). We began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on December 10, 2018 under the ticker “ENOB.” Our website is http://www.enochianbio.com. We make available free of charge, on or through our internet site, our annual, quarterly, and current reports and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC. Information contained in our website is not part of, nor incorporated by reference into, this report. 9 Item 1A. Risk Factors RISK FACTORS Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risks. Investors should carefully consider all of the risk factors and uncertainties described below, in addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the section of this report titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before investing in our common stock. The risks described below may not be the only ones relating to our company and additional risks that we currently believe are immaterial may be also affect us. If any of these risks, including those described below, materialize, our business, competitive position, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects could be seriously harmed. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and investors may lose all or a part of their investment. Risks Related to Our Financial Results and Capital Needs We have incurred substantial losses since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur substantial and increasing losses for the foreseeable future. We are a pre-clinical-stage biotechnology company. Investment in biotechnology related to genetically modified cells is highly speculative because it entails substantial upfront capital expenditures and significant risk that a product candidate will fail to prove effective, gain regulatory approval or become commercially viable. We do not have any products approved by regulatory authorities and have not generated any revenues from product sales or otherwise to date, and have incurred significant research, development and other expenses related to our ongoing operations and expect to continue to incur such expenses. As a result, we have not been profitable and have incurred significant operating losses in every reporting period since our inception. For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, we reported a net loss of $11.5 million and $18.0 million. We had an accumulated deficit of $64.2 million and $52.8 million as of June 30, 2020. We do not expect to generate revenues for the foreseeable future. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. We anticipate these losses to increase as we continue to research, develop and seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates and any additional product candidates we may acquire, in-license or develop, and potentially begin to commercialize product candidates that may achieve regulatory approval. We may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. The size of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future growth of our expenses and our ability to generate revenues. If any of our product candidates fails in clinical studies or does not gain regulatory approval, or if approved, fails to achieve market acceptance, we may never become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. We anticipate that our expenses will increase in the future as we continue to invest in research and development of our existing product candidates, investigate and potentially acquire new product candidates and expand our manufacturing and commercialization activities. We are a pre-clinical biotechnology company and may never be able to successfully develop marketable products or generate any revenue. We have a very limited relevant operating history upon which an evaluation of our performance and prospects can be made. There is no assurance that our future operations will result in profits. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues, we may suspend or cease operations. We are an early stage biotechnology company and have not generated any revenues to date. All of our product candidates are in the discovery stage or pre-clinical development stage. Moreover, we cannot be certain that our research and development efforts will be successful or, if successful, that our potential treatments will ever be approved for sales to generate commercial revenues. Our pipeline includes cell, gene and immunotherapy involving genetically modified cells targeted to treat HIV, Hepatitis B, and Cancer, and we rely on third parties under contract in the development of product candidates in our pipeline. There is no guarantee that we will be able to manage and fund the development of a pipeline with multiple target conditions and that third parties will meet their obligations to us in connection with our research and development. We and certain third parties, on which we rely, have no relevant operating history upon which an evaluation of our performance and prospects can be made. We are subject to all of the business risks associated with a new enterprise, including, but not limited to, risks of unforeseen capital requirements, failure of treatments either in non-clinical testing or in clinical trials, failure to establish business relationships, failure of our third parties to meet their obligations to and competitive disadvantages against larger and more established companies. If we fail to become profitable, we may suspend or cease operations. We will require substantial additional financing to achieve our goals, and a failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or commercialization efforts. We expect to expend substantial resources for the foreseeable future to continue the pre-clinical development of our cell, gene and immunotherapy product candidates, and the advancement and potential expansion of our pre-clinical research pipeline. We also expect to continue to expend resources for the development and manufacturing of product candidates and the technology we have licensed or have a right to license from our licensors. These expenditures will include costs associated with research and development, potentially acquiring or licensing new product candidates or technologies, conducting pre-clinical and clinical studies and potentially obtaining regulatory approvals and manufacturing products, as well as marketing and selling products approved for sale, if any. Under the terms of certain of our license agreements, we are obligated to make payments upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones. We will also need to make significant expenditures to develop a commercial organization capable of sales, marketing and distribution for any products, if any, that we intend to sell ourselves in the markets in which we choose to commercialize on our own. In addition, other unanticipated costs may arise. Because the design and outcome of our ongoing, planned and anticipated pre-clinical and clinical studies is highly uncertain, we cannot reasonably estimate the actual amounts necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates. 10 Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● the costs and payments associated with license agreements for our product and technologies; the costs of conducting pre-clinical and clinical studies and the cost of manufacturing our product candidates the timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining regulatory approvals for our product candidates, if clinical studies are successful, including any costs from post-market requirements; the cost of commercialization activities for our product candidates, if any of these product candidates is approved for sale, including marketing, sales and distribution costs; our ability to establish and maintain strategic licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such agreements; the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, expanding, defending and enforcing patent claims, including litigation costs and the outcome of such litigation; the timing, receipt and amount of sales of, or royalties on, our future products, if any; and Additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on a timely basis, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate preclinical studies, clinical studies or other development activities for one or more of our product candidates or delay, limit, reduce or terminate our establishment of sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or other activities that may be necessary to commercialize our product candidates. Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies. Until such time as we can generate substantial product revenues, we may attempt to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings, government and/or other third-party grants or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, our investors’ ownership interest will be diluted. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, we may be required to significantly curtail one or more clinical research or development programs, which would adversely impact potential revenues, results of operations and financial condition. Risks Related to the Development of Our Product Candidates We are highly dependent on the services of third parties to conduct research and development of our pipeline, and our failure to maintain the services of such third parties could harm our business We are highly dependent on third parties working in conjunction with our officers, employees, scientific advisory board and research institutions in the research and development of product candidates in our pipeline. Many of the techniques utilized in the development of our product candidates have been developed by Dr. Serhat Gümrükcü, and we rely on the services of Dr. Gümrükcü, and of G-Tech Bio LLC and Seraph Research Institute, in the continued development of our pipeline. Our future performance will depend on our ability to retain the services of Dr. Gümrükcü, G-Tech Bio LLC and Seraph Research Institute. The loss of the services of any of the foregoing, or of any of our key employees or scientific advisory board members could impede the achievement of our research, development, regulatory approvals and commercialization objectives. The results of pre-clinical studies or earlier clinical studies are not necessarily predictive of future results, and if we fail to demonstrate efficacy in our pre-clinical studies and/or clinical trials in the future our future business prospects, financial condition and operating results will be materially adversely affected. The success of our research and development efforts will depend upon our ability to demonstrate the efficacy of the treatments in our pipeline in pre-clinical studies, as well as in clinical trials following IND approval by the FDA. Pre-clinical studies involve testing potential product candidates in appropriate non-human disease models to demonstrate efficacy and safety. Success in pre-clinical studies does not ensure that later clinical studies will generate adequate data to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of an investigational drug. Currently, several of our product candidates, including ENOB-HV-01, our autologous HIV curative treatment, ENOB-HV-11, our preventative HIV vaccine, ENOB-HV-12, our therapeutic HIV vaccine and ENOB-HB-01, our coopting HBV polymerase are all currently in various stages of pre-clinical development with ongoing and planned pre-clinical studies in conjunction with research institutions and third parties. We presented pre-clinical data on ENOB-HV-01 in May 2020 at the annual conference of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy, and participated in an INTERACT meeting with the FDA related to ENOB-HB-01 in June 2020. Additionally, we presented results on ENOB-HB-01 in May at the annual conference of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy. Despite preliminary data we believe is positive, this does not guarantee that any of these products will proceed to the clinical stage or to approval for commercial use. A number of companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, including those with greater resources and experience than us, have suffered significant setbacks in clinical studies, even after seeing promising results in earlier preclinical studies or clinical studies. Regulatory agencies evaluate these data carefully before they will approve clinical testing in humans. If certain non-clinical data reveals potential safety issues or the results are inconsistent with an expectation of the potential product candidates’ efficacy in humans, the regulatory agencies may require additional more rigorous testing before allowing human clinical trials. This additional testing will increase program expenses and extend timelines. We may decide to suspend further testing on our product if, in the judgment of our management and advisors, the pre-clinical test results do not support further development. 11 Our novel gene, cell and immunotherapy product candidates and new therapeutic approaches could result in heightened regulatory scrutiny, delays in clinical development or delays in or our inability to achieve regulatory approval or commercialization of our product candidates. Our future success is dependent on the successful development of novel gene, cell and immunotherapy product candidates. Because these programs, particularly our pipeline of allogeneic T-cell product candidates that are bioengineered from sick patients, represent a new approach to immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer and other diseases, developing and commercializing our product candidates subject us to a number of challenges. Moreover, actual or perceived safety issues, including adoption of new therapeutics or novel approaches to treatment, may adversely influence the willingness of subjects to participate in clinical studies, or if approved by applicable regulatory authorities, of physicians to subscribe to the novel treatment mechanics. The FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities may ask for specific post-market requirements, and additional information informing benefits or risks of our products may emerge at any time prior to or after regulatory approval. We face significant competition in an environment of rapid technological change and the possibility that our competitors may achieve regulatory approval before us or develop therapies that are more advanced or effective than ours, which may adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to successfully market or commercialize our product candidates. The development of treatments in the fields of HIV, Hepatitis B and Cancer is highly competitive and many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions, governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations may pursue the research and development of technologies, drugs or other therapeutic products for the treatment of some or all of the diseases we are targeting. Nearly all of our competitors have greater capital resources, larger overall research and development staffs and facilities, and a longer history in drug discovery and development, obtaining regulatory approval and pharmaceutical product manufacturing and marketing than we do. Techniques in gene, cell and immunotherapy are subject to rapid technological change and development and the market for products in our pipeline and is significantly affected by existing rival products and medical procedures, new product introductions and the market activities of other participants. With additional resources, our competitors may be able to respond to the rapid and significant technological changes faster than we can. Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to maintain a competitive position with respect to these technologies. We may also face competition from products, which have already been approved and accepted by the medical community for the treatment of these same indications. If we are unable to compete effectively with any existing products, new treatment methods and new technologies, we may be unable to commercialize therapeutic products that we may develop in the future, which could adversely impact potential revenues, results of operations and financial condition or lead to abandonment of product candidates in our pipeline. Our reliance on third parties, such as university laboratories, contract manufacturing organizations and contract or clinical research organizations, may result in delays in completing, or a failure to complete, non- clinical testing or clinical trials if they fail to perform under our agreements with them. In the course of the development of our pipeline, we have and expect to continue engage university laboratories, non-profit organizations, independent contractors, other biotechnology companies or contract or clinical manufacturing organizations to conduct and manage research and development, pre-clinical and clinical studies and to manufacture materials for us to be used in pre-clinical and clinical testing. Due to engagements with these organizations, many important aspects of our research have been and will be out of our direct control. If any of these organizations we may engage in the future, fail to perform their obligations under our agreements with them or fail to perform non-clinical testing and/or clinical trials in a satisfactory manner, we may face delays in completing our clinical trials, as well as commercialization of any of our product candidates. Furthermore, any loss or delay in obtaining contracts with such entities may also delay the completion of our clinical trials, regulatory filings and the potential market approval of our product candidates. Business interruptions resulting from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak or similar public health crises could cause a disruption of the development of our product candidates and adversely impact our business. Public health crises such as pandemics or similar outbreaks could adversely impact our business. In December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus surfaced in Wuhan, China and has reached multiple other regions and countries, including Los Angeles where our primary office and laboratory facilities are located. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, and to date has led to the implementation of various mitigation responses, including government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions and other public health safety measures, as well as leading to reported adverse impacts on healthcare resources, facilities and providers across the United States and in other countries. COVID-19 may cause delays in our research activities, and while COVID-19 has not materially affected our operations to date, the extent to which COVID-19 could impact our operations or those of our third-party partners, including research organizations and suppliers will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, a potential vaccine, additional or modified government actions, new information that will emerge concerning the severity and impact of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or address its impact in the short and long term, among others. 12 Additionally, timely initiation and completion of planned preclinical studies is dependent upon the availability of, for example, preclinical study sites, universities researchers and investigators, regulatory agency personnel, and materials, which may be adversely affected by global health matters, such as pandemics. We plan to conduct preclinical studies in geographies that are currently being affected by COVID-19. Further, in the event that governmental authorities were to further modify current restrictions, our employees conducting research and development activities may not be able to access our laboratory offices, and our core activities may be significantly limited or curtailed, possibly for an extended period of time. Changes in healthcare law and implementing regulations, including government restrictions on pricing and reimbursement, as well as healthcare policy, may negatively impact our ability to generate revenues. In the United States and some foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of proposed legislative and regulatory changes related to the healthcare system that could affect our ability to profitably sell or commercialize our product candidates for which we obtain marketing approval in the future. The potential pricing and reimbursement environment for our product candidates may change in the future and become more challenging due to, among other reasons, policies advanced by the current or any new presidential administration, federal agencies, healthcare legislation passed by Congress, or fiscal challenges faced by all levels of government health administration authorities, or by similar changes in foreign countries. The implementation of any such changes could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial conditions, results of operations, and prospects, including our share price and ability to raise capital. Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property We have licensed a significant portion of our intellectual property from our licensors. If we breach any of our license agreements with these licensors, or otherwise experience disruptions to our business relationships with our licensors, we could lose intellectual property rights that are important to our business. We hold rights under license agreements with our licensors, including Weird Science, LLC and G-Tech Bio, LLC that are important to our business. Our research and development platform is built, in part, around patent rights licensed from such licensors. Under our existing license agreements, we are subject to various obligations, including diligence obligations with respect to development and commercialization activities, provision of support with respect to development of licensed intellectual property, prosecution of intellectual property protection, payment obligations upon achievement of certain milestones and royalties on product sales. In spite of our efforts, our licensors might conclude that we have materially breached our obligations under such license agreements and might therefore terminate the license agreements, thereby removing or limiting our ability to develop and commercialize products and technology covered by these license agreements. If any of these licenses are terminated, or if the underlying patents fail to provide the intended exclusivity, competitors or other third parties would have the freedom to seek regulatory approval of, and to market, products identical to ours and we may be required to cease our development and commercialization of product candidates covered by any such licenses. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial conditions, results of operations, and prospects. Moreover, disputes may arise regarding intellectual property subject to a licensing agreement, including: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● the scope of rights granted under license agreements and other interpretation-related issues; payment obligations due to licensors under license agreements and other disputes related to the obligations for payment related to intellectual property protection the extent to which our product candidates, technology and processes infringe on intellectual property of a licensor that is not subject to a licensing agreement; the sublicensing of patent and other rights under our collaborative development relationships; our diligence obligations under license agreements and what activities satisfy those diligence obligations; the inventorship and ownership of inventions and know-how resulting from the joint creation or use of intellectual property by our licensors and us and our licensors; and the priority of invention of patented technology. In addition, the agreements under which we currently license intellectual property or technology from third parties are complex, and certain provisions in such agreements may be susceptible to multiple interpretations. The resolution of any contract interpretation disagreement that may arise could narrow what we believe to be the scope of our rights to the relevant intellectual property or technology, or increase what we believe to be our financial or other obligations under the relevant agreement, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Moreover, if disputes over intellectual property that we have licensed prevent or impair our ability to maintain our licensing arrangements on commercially acceptable terms, we may be unable to successfully develop and commercialize the affected product candidates, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operations, and prospects. If we do not obtain required intellectual property licenses or rights, we could encounter delays in our product development efforts while we attempt to design around other patents or even be prohibited from developing, manufacturing or selling products requiring these rights or licenses. There is also a risk that legal disputes may arise as to the rights to technology developed in collaboration with other parties, all with attendant risk, distraction, expense, and lack of predictability. If we are unable to obtain and maintain sufficient intellectual property protection for our product candidates, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection is not sufficiently broad, our ability to commercialize our product candidates successfully and to compete effectively may be adversely affected. We rely upon a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secrets and confidentiality agreements – either that we own or possess or that are owned or possessed by our licensors that are licensed to us – to protect the intellectual property related to our technology and product candidates. When we refer to “our” technologies, inventions, patents, provisional patents, patent applications or other intellectual property rights, we are referring to both the rights that we own or possess as well as those that we license, many of which are critical to our intellectual property protection and our business. For example, the product candidates and platform technology we have licensed from our licensors are protected primarily by patent or patent applications of our licensors that we have licensed and as confidential know-how and trade secrets. If the intellectual property that we rely on is not adequately protected, competitors may be able to use our technologies and erode or negate any competitive advantage we may have. 13 The patentability of inventions and the validity, enforceability and scope of patents in the biotechnology field is uncertain because it involves complex legal, scientific and factual considerations, and it has in recent years been the subject of significant litigation. Moreover, the standards applied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, and non-U.S. patent offices in granting patents are not always applied uniformly or predictably. For example, there is no uniform worldwide policy regarding patentable subject matter or the scope of claims allowable in biotechnology patents. There is no assurance that all potentially relevant prior art relating to our patents and patent applications is known to us or has been found in the instances where searching was done. We may be unaware of prior art that could be used to invalidate an issued patent or prevent a pending patent application from issuing as a patent. There also may be prior art of which we are aware, but which we do not believe affects the validity or enforceability of a claim of one of our patents or patent applications, which may, nonetheless, ultimately be found to affect the validity or enforceability of such claim. We also may not be able to obtain full patent protection from provisional patents for which we have sought or will seek further patent protection. As a consequence of these and other factors, our patent applications may fail to result in issued patents with claims that cover our product candidates in the U.S. or in other countries. Even if patents have issued or do successfully issue from patent applications, and even if these patents cover our product candidates, third parties may challenge the validity, enforceability or scope thereof, which may result in these patents being narrowed, invalidated or held to be unenforceable. No assurance can be given that if challenged, our patents would be declared by a court to be valid or enforceable. Even if unchallenged, our patents and patent applications or other intellectual property rights may not adequately protect our intellectual property, provide exclusivity for our product candidates or prevent others from designing around our claims. The possibility exists that others will develop products on an independent basis which have the same effect as our product candidates and which do not infringe our patents or other intellectual property rights, or that others will design around the claims of patents that we have had issued that cover our product candidates. If the breadth or strength of protection provided by our patents and patent applications with respect to our product candidates is threatened, it could jeopardize our ability to commercialize our product candidates and dissuade companies from collaborating with us. We may also desire to seek a license from a third party who owns intellectual property that may be useful for providing exclusivity for our product candidates, or for providing the ability to develop and commercialize a product candidate in an unrestricted manner. There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain a license from such a third party on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, the USPTO and various foreign governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application process. While an inadvertent lapse can in many cases be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. We and our licensors have filed a number of patent applications covering our product candidates or methods of using or making those product candidates. We cannot offer any assurances about which, if any, patents will be issued with respect to these pending patent applications, the breadth of any such patents that are ultimately issued or whether any issued patents will be found invalid and unenforceable or will be threatened by third parties. Because patent applications in the U.S. and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, and some remain so until issued, we cannot be certain that we or our licensors were the first to file any patent application related to a product candidate. We or our licensors may also become involved in proceedings regarding our patents, including patent infringement lawsuits, interference or derivation proceedings, oppositions, and inter partes and post-grant review proceedings before the USPTO the European Patent Office and other non-U.S. patent offices. If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, the value of our technology could be negatively impacted and our business would be harmed. In addition to the protection afforded by patents we hold rights to, we also rely on trade secret protection for certain aspects of our intellectual property. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We seek to protect these trade secrets, in part, by entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who have access to them, such as our employees, consultants, independent contractors, advisors, contract manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties. We also enter into confidentiality and invention or patent assignment agreements with employees and certain consultants. Any party with whom we have executed such an agreement may breach that agreement and disclose our proprietary information, including our trade secrets, and we might not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. Additionally, if the steps taken to maintain our trade secrets are deemed inadequate, we may have insufficient recourse against third parties for misappropriating the trade secret. Further, if any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we would have no right to prevent such third party, or those to whom they communicate such technology or information, from using that technology or information to compete with us. If any of our trade secrets were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 14 Third-party claims of intellectual property infringement may prevent or delay our development and commercialization efforts. Our success will depend in part on our ability to commercialize our product candidates without infringing the proprietary rights of others. Much of the intellectual property utilized in our product candidates is licensed from our licensors, who hold patents and provisional patents in their names. We have not conducted extensive freedom of use patent searches and no assurance can be given that patents do not exist or could be issued which would have an adverse effect on our ability to market our technology or maintain our competitive position with respect to our technology. We also cannot be sure that patents or provisional patents filed by others are valid or will be upheld if challenged. It is possible that there are additional patents that may cover certain other aspects of technology used in our product candidates that is not covered by our licensed intellectual property. If our licensed technology or other subject matter are claimed under other United States patents or other international patents or are otherwise protected by third party proprietary rights, we or our licensors may be subject to infringement actions. In such event, we may challenge the validity of such patents or other proprietary rights or we may be required to obtain licenses from such companies in order to develop, manufacture or market our technology. There can be no assurances that we would be successful in a challenge or be able to obtain such licenses or that such licenses, if available, could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. Furthermore, the failure to succeed in a challenge, develop a commercially viable alternative or obtain needed licenses could be have significant adverse consequences to the development of our pipeline. Adverse consequences include delays in marketing some or all of our product candidates based on our technology or the inability to proceed with the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses. If we defend ourselves against charges of patent infringement or to protect our proprietary rights against third parties, substantial costs will be incurred regardless of whether we are successful. Such proceedings are typically protracted with no certainty of success. An adverse outcome could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties and force us to curtail or cease the research and development of our technology. Parties making claims against us may obtain injunctive or other equitable relief, which could effectively block our ability to further develop and commercialize our product candidates. Defense of these claims, regardless of their merit, would involve substantial litigation expense and would be a substantial diversion resources from our business. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us, we may have to pay substantial damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees for willful infringement, pay royalties, redesign our infringing products or obtain one or more licenses from third parties, which may be impossible or require substantial time and monetary expenditure. Additionally, parties making claims against us may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation or administrative proceedings, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have material adverse effect on our ability to raise additional funds or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world. Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on our product candidates in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and our intellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States can be less extensive than those in the United States. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the United States, or from selling or importing products made using our inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and may also export infringing products to territories where we have patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These products may compete with our products and our patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing. 15 Risks Related to our Common Stock Our stock price has been and will likely continue to be volatile and may decline regardless of our operating performance. Our stock price has fluctuated in the past and can be expected to be volatile in the future. From July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, the reported sale price of our Common Stock has fluctuated between $6.75 and $2.08 per share. The stock market in general and the market for biotechnology companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Common Stock. The market price of our Common Stock may be influenced by many factors, including the following: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● the success of competitive products or technologies; regulatory actions with respect to our product candidates or products or our competitors’ product candidates or products; actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors; announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations or capital commitments; results of clinical studies of our product candidates or those of our competitors; regulatory or legal developments in the U.S. and other countries; developments or disputes concerning patent applications, issued patents or other proprietary rights; the recruitment or departure of key personnel; the level of expenses related to any of our product candidates or clinical development programs; the results of our efforts to in-license or acquire additional product candidates or products; actual or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts; variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us; fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us; inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares; announcement or expectation of additional financing efforts; sales of our Common Stock by us, our insiders or our other stockholders; ● market conditions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors; ● ● general economic, industry and market conditions; and the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section. In addition, the stock markets in general, and the markets for biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks in particular, have experienced significant volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. For example, the CoVID 19 pandemic and government policies surrounding the CoVID 19 pandemic have negatively impacted the financial markets generally, including the markets for small capitalization biotechnology stocks. Likewise, as a result of significant changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade and health care spending and delivery, any significant developments in the CoVID 19 pandemic or changes in tariffs and other restrictions on free trade stemming from U.S. and foreign government policies, or for other reasons, the financial markets could experience significant volatility that could also negatively impact the markets for biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock. 16 Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and could exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval. Our executive officers, directors, affiliates, and entities they control and own approximately 70% of our outstanding Common Stock and voting power. These stockholders, should they act in concert, could determine the outcome of all matters requiring stockholder approval. For example, these stockholders may be able to control elections of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, or approval of any merger, sale of assets, or other major corporate transaction. This may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our Common Stock. The interests of our significant stockholders who are also affiliates may not always coincide with the interests of other stockholders and they may act in a manner that advances their best interests and not necessarily those of other stockholders, including seeking a premium value for their Common Stock, and might affect the market price for our Common Stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market could cause our stock price to fall. A significant portion of our Common Stock is held in restricted form, and consequentially a minority of our outstanding Common Stock actively trades in the public markets. Sales of a substantial number of such shares of our Common Stock in the public market could occur at any time. While a large majority of such shares are unregistered and subject to volume restrictions on sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, these restrictions could be lifted if any of our stockholders ceased to be bound by such restrictions. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Common Stock. Trading of our Common Stock may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our Common Stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares. There is currently a limited market for our Common Stock and the volume of our Common Stock traded on any day may vary significantly from one period to another. Trading in our stock is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. The availability of buyers and sellers represented by this volatility could lead to a market price for our Common Stock that is unrelated to operating performance. There is no assurance that a sufficient market will develop in the stock, in which case it could be difficult for our stockholders to resell their stock. We have incurred and will continue to incur increased costs as a result of being a public company and our management expects to devote substantial time to public company compliance programs. As a public company, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, which require, among other things, that we file with the SEC annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market to implement provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, impose significant requirements on public companies, including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. As a Smaller Reporting Company, we are able to take advantage of certain accommodations afforded to Smaller Reporting Companies, including being exempt from the requirement to conduct an audit of our internal controls. In the event we no longer qualify as a Smaller Reporting Company, we will lose such accommodations, which could involve significant costs that could affect our operations. Changes in reporting requirements, the current political environment and the potential for future regulatory reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which may lead to additional compliance costs and impact the manner in which we operate our business in ways we cannot currently anticipate. The rules and regulations applicable to public companies have substantially increased our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. To the extent these requirements divert the attention of our management and personnel from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, will be the sole source of potential gain for our stockholders. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be the sole source of gain for our stockholders for the foreseeable future. Future sales and issuances of our Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock, including pursuant to our equity incentive plans, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall. We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To raise capital, we may sell substantial amounts of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. These future issuances of Common Stock or Common Stock-related securities, together with the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, and any additional shares that may be issued in connection with acquisitions or licenses, if any, may result in material dilution to our investors. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our Common Stock. Pursuant to our equity incentive plans, our compensation committee is authorized to grant equity-based incentive awards to our employees, non-employee directors and consultants. In addition, our stockholders have recently approved an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock available under our Equity Incentive Plan and a large number of options or other equity awards may be issued in the future. Future grants of RSUs, options and other equity awards and issuances of Common Stock under our equity incentive plans will result in dilution and may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock. 17 Some terms of our charter documents and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage an acquisition of us by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management. Our certificate of incorporation, or Certificate of Incorporation, and amended and restated bylaws, or Bylaws, as well as Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us or increase the cost of acquiring us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders, or remove our current management. These include terms that: ● ● ● ● permit our board of directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with any rights, preferences and privileges as they may designate; provide that all vacancies on our board of directors, including as a result of newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum; provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide advance notice in writing, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice; and not provide for cumulative voting rights, thereby allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election. Any of the factors listed above may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, who are responsible for appointing the members of our management. In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which may discourage, delay or prevent someone from acquiring us or merging with us whether or not it is desired by or beneficial to our stockholders. Under Delaware law, a corporation may not, in general, engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or, among other things, the board of directors has approved the transaction. Any term of our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock. Risks Related To Our Business Operations and Managing Growth If our operations require a full time Chief Executive Officer or Chief Medical Officer, and we are not able to hire a full time Chief Executive Officer to manage our operations or if our current Executive Vice-Chair, Chief Financial Officer or key scientific personnel cease to serve, our business will be harmed. Currently, our management team is led by Dr. Mark Dybul, the Executive Vice-Chair of the Board and Luisa Puche, our Chief Financial Officer. In the future, we may require the services of a full time Chief Executive Officer and/or a Chief Medical Officer. The Board and our stockholders have approved a proposed employment agreement with Dr. Dybul that we expect to become effective prior to July 1, 2021, but if he or Ms. Puche should cease to serve, our business operations may suffer. Additionally, we may in the future require a Chief Medical Officer, and if we are unable to hire a Chief Medical Officer, our business operations and the continued development of our product candidates may suffer. In addition, we are dependent on our continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified additional management and scientific personnel. If we are not able to retain our management and to attract, on acceptable terms, additional qualified personnel necessary for the continued development of our business, we might not be able to sustain our operations or grow. We have limited corporate infrastructure and may experience difficulties in managing growth. As of June 30, 2020, we had only 10 full time employees and we rely on third-party contractors for the provision of professional, scientific, regulatory and other services. As our development and commercialization plans and strategies develop, we may need additional managerial, scientific, operational, financial, and other resources. Our management may need to divert a disproportionate amount of its attention away from our day-to-day operations and devote a substantial amount of time to managing these growth activities. We might not be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations, which may result in weaknesses in our infrastructure, operational inefficiencies, loss of business opportunities, loss of employees and reduced productivity among remaining employees. Our expected growth could require significant capital expenditures and may divert financial resources from other projects, such as the development of our current and potential future product candidates. If our management is unable to effectively manage our growth, our expenses may increase more than expected, our ability to generate and grow revenue could be reduced and we might not be able to implement our business strategy. Our future financial performance, our ability to commercialize product candidates, develop a scalable infrastructure and compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future growth. If we, our service providers, or third parties fail to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, we could become subject to fines or penalties or incur costs that could harm our business. If we, our service providers, or any third parties engaged in development of our product candidates fail to comply with laws regulating the protection of the environment and health and human safety, we could be subject to enforcement actions and our business prospects could be adversely affected. 18 Our research and development activities, and the research and development activities of our service providers and any third parties engaged in development of our product candidates, may involve the use of hazardous materials and chemicals or other regulated activities. In conjunction with our service providers and other third parties, we are also engaged in pre-clinical studies using live animals and samples of infectious diseases. Failure to adequately handle and dispose of hazardous materials or to meet various standards imposed by federal, state, local or foreign regulators could lead to liabilities for resulting damages, which could be substantial. We also may be subject to numerous environmental, health and workplace safety laws and regulations, including those governing laboratory procedures, exposure to blood-home pathogens and the handling of bio-hazardous materials. If we, our service providers, or any third parties engaged in development of our product candidates fail to comply with applicable federal, state, local or foreign laws or regulations, we could be subject to enforcement actions, which could adversely affect our ability to develop, market and sell our product candidates successfully and could harm our reputation and lead to reduced acceptance of our product candidates. These enforcement actions may include: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● restrictions on, or prohibitions against, marketing our product candidates; restrictions on importation of our product candidates; suspension of review or refusal to approve new or pending applications; suspension or withdrawal of product approvals; product seizures; injunctions; and civil and criminal penalties and fines. Our employees, third-party clinical investigators, consultants, licensors and other third parties may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including non-compliance with regulatory standards and requirements and insider trading. We are exposed to the risk of fraud or other misconduct by our employees, third-party clinical investigators, consultants, licensors, and third parties under contract. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional failures to comply with FDA regulations or the regulations applicable in other jurisdictions, provide accurate information to the FDA and other regulatory authorities, comply with healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations in the United States and abroad, report financial information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities to us. In particular, sales, marketing and business arrangements in the healthcare industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. Such misconduct also could involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials or interactions with the FDA or other regulatory authorities, which could result in regulatory sanctions and cause serious harm to our reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity might not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from government investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, including the imposition of significant fines or other sanctions. We rely upon information technology and any failure, inadequacy, interruption or security lapse of that technology, including any cyber security incidents, could harm our ability to operate our business effectively. Our business operations could suffer in the event of system failure. Despite the implementation of security measures, our internal computer systems and those of our contract research organizations, and other contractors and consultants are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, unauthorized access, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication and electrical failures. If such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our product development programs. For example, the loss of formulas or data from completed or ongoing or planned pre-clinical studies could result in delays in our regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase our costs to recover or reproduce the data. To the extent that any disruption or security breach were to result in a loss of or damage to our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur liability and further development of our product candidates could be delayed. 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments There are no unresolved SEC staff comments. 19 Item 2. Properties The Company currently leases the following properties: Location 5901 W. Olympic Blvd, Suite 419 Los Angeles, CA 90036 Use Physical office space Terms On November 13, 2017, the Company entered into a Lease Agreement for a term of five years and two months from November 1, 2017. The Leased Premises consist of approximately 2,325 rentable square feet. The base rent for such leased premises increases by 3% each year over the term, and ranges from approximately $8,719 per month for the first year to $10,107 per month for the two months of the sixth year. The Company was entitled to $70,800 in tenant improvement allowance in the form of free rent applied over 10 months in equal installments from January 2018. 2080 Century Park East, Suite 906 Los Angeles, CA 90067 Item 3. Legal Proceedings The Company entered into a Lease Agreement for our corporate headquarters located at Century City Medical Plaza, 2080 Century Park East, Suite 906, Los Angeles CA, 90067. We have a ten-year lease for approximately 2,453 square feet at this location. In February 2019, we extended our corporate headquarters to encompass the adjoining suite for approximately 1,101 square feet, bringing the total workspace to 3,554 square feet. The new base rent for this leased premises increases by 3% each year over the term, and ranges from $17,770 per month as of the date of the amendment until the end of the first year to $ 23,186 per month for the tenth year. All other terms remain the same. The additional suite was in the form of an amendment the original lease as an amendment and will expire on the same date as the existing lease. The Company was entitled to a total of $148,168 in contributions toward tenant improvements for both spaces. From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to in any legal proceeding that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures. Not applicable. 20 Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Our Common Stock trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ENOB”. Holders of Common Stock PART II As of June 30, 2020, the Company had 46,497,409 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and approximately 182 stockholders of record. The actual number of stockholders is greater than this number of record holders and includes stockholders who are beneficial owners but whose shares are held in street name by brokers and other nominees. Dividends The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividend in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, is within the discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company’s earnings, if any, its capital requirements and financial condition and such other factors as the Board may consider. Item 6. Selected Financial Data The Registrant is a Smaller Reporting Company and is not required to provide this information. 21 Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, and the related notes to those statements included elsewhere in this report. In addition to the historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Our Business We are a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company committed to using our genetically modified cellular and immune-therapy technologies to prevent or potentially cure HIV, HBV and to potentially provide life-long cancer remission of some of the deadliest cancers. We do this by genetically modifying, or re-engineering, different types of cells, depending on the therapeutic area and then injecting or reinfusing the re-engineered cells back into the patient to provide treatment. In some of our interventions, immunotherapy is used. To date, our operations have been funded by sales of our securities and debt financing. Sales revenue will not support our current operations, and we expect this to be the case until our therapies or products are approved for marketing in the United States and Europe. Even if we are successful in having our therapies or products approved for sale in the United States and Europe, we cannot guarantee that a market for the product will develop. We may never be profitable. Recent Developments On January 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Statement of Work & License Agreement (the “HBV License Agreement”) by and among the Company, G Tech, and G Health Research Foundation, a not for profit entity organized under the laws of California doing business as Seraph Research Institute (“SRI”), whereby the Company acquired a perpetual, sublicensable, exclusive license (the “HBV License”) for a treatment under development (aimed to treat Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infections in accordance with its agreement in principle with G-Tech and SRI announced by the Company on November 25, 2019. The HBV License Agreement states that in consideration for the HBV License, the Company shall provide cash funding for research costs and equipment and certain other in-kind funding related to the Treatment over a 24-month period. The Company paid an upfront payment of $1.2 million on February 6, 2020. The HBV License Agreement increased our research and development costs by $2,222,500 (See Note 8 in the Financial Statements.) On July 8, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “LPC Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, (“LPC”), pursuant to which LPC is committed to buy, and we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LPC up to an aggregate of $20,000,000 of our Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the LPC Purchase Agreement, including a limitation on the number of shares of common stock we can put to LPC and the pricing parameters for the sales (See Note 5 in the Financial Statements.) COVID-19 Outlook During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The pandemic has significantly affected the economic conditions in the U.S., accelerating during the first half of March. A number of states, counties and municipalities issued orders requiring persons who were not engaged in essential activities and businesses to remain at home. On March 27, 2020, the US enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Aid (“CARES Act”) to help stimulate an economic recovery and additional legislation related to COVID-19 has been proposed; however, there are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last or how many people are likely to be affected by it. No one knows what over-all effects the COVID-19 pandemic will have on economic conditions during the remainder of 2020. Our senior management team is monitoring COVID-19’s impact daily and will continue to adjust our operations as necessary. However, the impact of this event on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. 22 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Year ended June 30, 2020 compared to the year ended June 30, 2019.

We have never generated revenues and have incurred losses since inception. We do not anticipate earning any revenues until our therapies or products are approved for marketing and sale. Expenses Our operating expenses for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $11,923,768 and $10,990,032, respectively, representing an increase of $933,736, or 8.5%. The largest contributor to the increase in operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2020, was the increase in research and development expenses of $2,196,242 in connection with the continued growth in our research and development efforts, partially offset by the decrease in general and administrative expenses of $1,299,381. General and administrative expenses for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $7,120,835 and $8,420,216, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,299,381, or 15.4%. General and administrative expenses include audit fees, non-cash compensation expenses, consulting expenses, board compensation, filing fees, corporate taxes, security expenses, legal fees, office leases, insurance, patent fees, salaries, and travel expenses. The net fluctuations within general and administrative expense remained relatively constant except for the decrease in non-cash compensation expense of $1,136,246. Research and development expenses for the years ended June 30, 2020, and June 30, 2019, were $4,694,349 and $2,498,107, respectively, representing an increase of $2,196,242 or approximately 87.9%. The overall research and development expenses remained constant except for the additional costs related to the HBV License Agreement that included upfront fees, materials used in the related R&D studies, and staffing costs of $2,222,500. Other Expense Net expense for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $507,410 and $(7,026,448), respectively, representing an increase of 7,533,858 or 107.2%. The increase was due primarily to the change in the fair value of the Contingent Consideration of $7,348,145, which is impacted by contingent shares issued during the period and the mark to market adjustments on the remaining contingent consieration liability Net Loss Net loss for the years ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $11,416,358 and $18,016,480, respectively, representing a decrease in the loss of $6,600,122, or 36.6%. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to a decrease in change in the fair value of Contingent Consideration of $7,348,145, the decrease in general administrative expense of $1,299,381, partially offset by an increase in research and development expense of $2,196,242. 24 Liquidity and Capital Resources We have historically satisfied our capital and liquidity requirements through funding from shareholders, the sale of our Common Stock and warrants, and debt financing. We currently have no sales revenue to support our current operations and we expect this to be the case until our therapies or products are approved for marketing in the United States and Europe. Even if we are successful in having our therapies or products approved for sale in the United States and Europe, we cannot guarantee that a market for the product will develop. We may never be profitable. At this time, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and access to committed funds to fund our operations for the next twelve months. We may need additional funds for (a) purchase of equipment and, (b) research and development, specifically to open an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) (The first step in the drug review process by the FDA) for ENOB-HV01, to continue our research and development of ENOB-HV11/12, to fund the HBV License Agreement in furtherance of the Treatment for Hepatitis B, and possible future strategic acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies complementary to our business. If additional funds are required, we may raise such funds from time to time through public or private sales of our equity or debt securities. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could materially adversely affect our growth plans and our financial condition and results of operations. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $8,696,361 in cash and working capital of $7,606,411 as compared to $12,282,224 in cash and working capital of $11,384,571 as of June 30, 2019. The decrease in cash of $3,585,863 is primarily due to the following expenditures, $4,694,349 in research and development costs, purchasing of furniture and lab equipment of $184,463, and general and administrative expenses of $6,069,029, net of non- cash expenditures, partially offset by the proceeds from the exercise of Grant Warrants of $1,000,000 (see Note 7 to the Financial Statements), the Convertible Notes of $1,200,000 and the Unsecured Note of $5,000,000 (see Note 5 to the Financial Statements). On July 8, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “LPC Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, (“LPC”), pursuant to which LPC is committed to buy, and we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LPC up to an aggregate of $20,000,000 of our Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the LPC Purchase Agreement, including a limitation on the number of shares of common stock we can put to LPC and the pricing parameters for the sales. Warrant Exercises On December 27, 2018, certain of our warrant holders exercised warrants to purchase 1,307,693 shares of Common Stock for total proceeds to the Company of $1,700,000. On June 27, 2019, certain of our warrant holders exercised warrants to purchase 3,242,307 shares of Common Stock for total proceeds to the Company of $ 4,319,999. On July 3, 2020, certain of our warrant holders exercised warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock for total proceeds to the Company of $ 1,000,000. Debt On February 6, 2020, the Company issued two Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) to an existing stockholder of the Company each with a face value amount of $600,000, convertible into shares of Common Stock. The outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes is due and payable on February 6, 2023. Interest on the Convertible Notes commenced accruing on the date of issuance at six percent (6%) per annum, computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months, and is compounded monthly on the final day of each calendar month based upon the Principal and all accrued and unpaid Interest outstanding as of such compound date. The interest is payable in cash on a semi-annual basis. (See Note 5 to the Financial Statements) On March 30, 2020 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company issued a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Unsecured Note”) to Paseco APS, a Danish limited company and an existing stockholder of the Company. The principal amount of the Unsecured Note will be payable on November 30, 2021, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 6% per annum, which was prepaid by the Company in full on the date of issuance through the issuance of 188,485 shares of the Common Stock based on the closing market price on that date, valued at $501,370, with a relative fair value of $493,192. (See Note 5 to the Financial Statements). 25 Cash Flows Year ended June 30, 2020 compared to the year ended June 30, 2019 Following is a summary of the Company’s cash flows provided by (used by) operating, investing, and financing activities: Net Cash Used by Operating Activities Net Cash Used by Investing Activities Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities Effects of exchange rates on cash Net decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents For the Year Ended June 30, 2020 2019 $ $ $ $ $ (10,459,422) $ (184,463) $ $ 7,200,000 (141,978) $ (3,585,863) $ (8,507,341) (716,669) 6,020,000 (114,631) (3,318,641) At June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8,696,361, a decrease of $3,585,863, when compared to the June 30, 2019 balance of $12,282,224. This decrease was primarily due to cash used by operating activities as we expand our operations and continue growing our research and development activities, expenditures during the normal course of business, offset by an increase in net cash provided by financing activities, resulting from exercised warrants by certain of our shareholders and new loan agreements entered into during the fiscal year. We plan to use our cash and cash equivalents to fund research and development, specifically to open an IND for ENOB-HV01, to continue our research and development of ENOB-HV11/12, and to fund the HBV License Agreement in the furtherance of the Treatment for Hepatitis B, and possible future strategic acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies complementary to our business. Net cash used by operating activities for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $10,459,422 and $8,507,341, respectively, representing an increase of $1,952,081. The increase is primarily related to the increase in research and development expenses of $2,196,242, a decrease of $1,299,242 in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the decrease in non-cash compensation of $1,136,243. Net cash used by investing activities for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $184,463 and $716,669, respectively, representing a decrease of $532,206. The decrease is due to the cost incurred in prior year for the purchase of equipment to set up the Company’s laboratory and offices at the Los Angeles Corporate Headquarters compared to incremental laboratory and office equipment purchased in the current year. Net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $7,200,000 and $6,020,000, respectively, representing an increase of $1,180,000. The net cash provided by financing activities in the current year consists of $1,000,000 related to warrants exercised, $1,200,000 related to a convertible note payable, and $5,000,000 related to a long-term note payable. All financing activities in the prior year related to warrants exercised by our warrant holders. 26 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of June 30, 2020, and 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements. We are not aware of any material transactions, which are not disclosed in our consolidated financial statements. Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Our most critical accounting estimates are detailed below, and our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Intangible Assets—The Company has both Definite and Indefinite life intangible assets. Definite life intangible assets include patents. The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Patent costs consist of costs incurred to acquire the underlying patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining capitalized patent costs are charged to expense. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of patents is twenty years from the date of application. Indefinite life intangible assets include license agreements and goodwill. The Company accounts for indefinite life intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” License agreements cost represent the Fair Value of the license agreement on the date acquired and are tested annually for impairment. The fair value analysis performed on the license agreements and the fair value analysis performed on goodwill supported that both indefinite life intangible assets are not impaired as of June 30, 2020. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: ● ● ● Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations, and notes payable approximate their recorded values due to their short-term maturities. Stock Options and Warrants - The Company has granted stock options to certain employees, officers, and directors that were subsequently converted to Grant Warrants. All Grant Warrants have been exercised as of July 2019. During the years presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has granted stock options and warrants. The Company accounts for options and warrants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Non-cash compensation costs for employee compensation and consulting fees for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $1,028,721 and $2,164,967, respectively (see Note 7 to the Financial Statements). Stock-Based Compensation —The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation Non-Employees. 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 consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to non-employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and are recognized over the non-employee’s required service period, which is generally the vesting period. (See Note 7 to the Financial Statements) Recently Enacted Accounting Standards For a description of accounting changes and recent accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects, if any, on our consolidated financial statements, see “Note 1: Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in the financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

(“the Company”) as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, other comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2020 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2020, 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. We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

F-9 ENOCHIAN BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business– Enochian BioSciences Inc., formerly DanDrit Biotech USA, Inc. (“Enochian”, or “Registrant”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) engages in the research and development, and clinical trials of pharmaceutical and biological products for the human treatment of HIV and cancer with the intent to manufacturer said products. Basis of Presentation- The Company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and follows the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Consolidation - For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Registrant, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation. Reclassification–Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For the year ended June 30, 2019, we reclassified the consulting expense of $148,676, respectively to general and administrative expenses. Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates include the fair value and potential impairment of intangible assets, and fair value of equity instruments issued. Subsidiaries- Enochian Biopharma Inc. (“Enochian Biopharma”) was incorporated on May 19, 2017 in Delaware and is a 100% owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Enochian Biopharma owns a perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sublicensable, and sole and exclusive worldwide license to research, develop, use, sell, have sold, make, have made, offer for sale, import and otherwise commercialize certain intellectual property in cellular therapies for the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy exclusively for HIV in humans, and research and development exclusively relating to HIV in humans. As of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, 1,438,122 and 1,938,122 shares of Common Stock, respectively, remain contingently issuable in connection with the acquisition of Enochian BioPharma in February 2018 (the “Contingent Shares”). Enochian Biosciences Denmark ApS, a Danish corporation was incorporated on April 1, 2001 (“Enochian Denmark”). On February 12, 2014, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired Enochian Denmark and it became a 100% owned subsidiary of the Registrant subject to 185,053 shares of common stock of the Registrant held in escrow according to Danish law (the “Escrow Shares”) (See Note 7). As of June 30, 2020, there are 82, 237, Escrow Shares remaining. COVID-19- During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The pandemic has significantly affected the economic conditions in the U.S., accelerating during the first half of March. A number of states, counties and municipalities issued orders requiring persons who were not engaged in essential activities and businesses to remain at home. On March 27, 2020, the US enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Aid (“CARES Act”) to help stimulate an economic recovery; however, there are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last or how many people are likely to be affected by it. No one knows what over-all effects the COVID-19 pandemic will have on economic conditions during the remainder of 2020. Our senior management team is monitoring COVID-19’s impact on a daily basis and will continue to adjust our operations as necessary. However, the impact of this event on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Functional Currency & Foreign currency translation - The functional currency of Enochian Denmark is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company's cash balances at June 30, 2020, and 2019, are $8,696,361 and $12,282,224, respectively. The Company had balances held in financial institutions in Denmark and in the United States in excess of federally insured amounts at June 30, 2020 and 2019 of $8,160,270, and $11,932,100, respectively.. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized, upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from four to ten years (See Note 2). Intangible Assets - The Company has both Definite and Indefinite life intangible assets. Definite life intangible assets include patents. The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Patent costs consist of costs incurred to acquire the underlying patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining capitalized patent costs are charged to expense. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of patents is twenty years from the date of application. Indefinite life intangible assets include license agreements and goodwill. The Company accounts for indefinite life intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. License agreement cost represent the Fair Value of the license agreement on the date acquired and are tested annually for impairment. The fair value analysis performed on the license agreements, and the fair value analysis performed on goodwill supported that both indefinite life intangible assets are not impaired as of June 30, 2020. (See Note 3) F-10 NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) ENOCHIAN BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Goodwill —Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually as of June 30th or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. Our detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit and is based on discounted cash flows or relative market-based approaches. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, then it is concluded that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is required to measure possible goodwill impairment loss. The second step includes hypothetically valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared to the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value. The carrying value of goodwill at June 30, 2020, was $11,640,000. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to test for impairment losses on goodwill. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to an impairment charge that could be material. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment and patents are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and would no longer be depreciated. The depreciable basis of assets that are impaired and continue in use is their respective fair values. Leases - In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company determined the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter. The lease terms include any renewal options and termination options that the Company is reasonably assured to exercise, if applicable. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the implicit interest rate in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company develops an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the future payments. Rent expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis, unless the operating lease right of use assets have been impaired, over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in operating expense in the consolidated statement of operations. For operating leases that reflect impairment, the Company will recognize the amortization of the operating lease right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term with rent expense still included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company’s non-lease components are primarily related to property maintenance, insurance and taxes, which vary based on future outcomes, and thus are recognized in general and administrative expenses when incurred. (See Note 4). Research and Development Expenses - The Company expenses research and development costs incurred in formulating, improving, validating and creating alternative or modified processes related to and expanding the use of the HIV, HBV, and Cancer therapies and technologies for use in the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy for HIV, HBV, and Cancer. Research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $4,694,349 and $2,498,107, respectively. Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes. (See Note 6) F-11 NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) ENOCHIAN BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Loss Per Share - The Company calculates earnings/ (losses) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) are based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive common shares. Potential shares of Common Stock included in the diluted earnings per share calculation include in-the-money stock options that have been granted but have not been exercised. The shares of Common Stock outstanding at June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 46,497,409 and 45,273,924, respectively. Because of the net loss for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the dilutive shares for both periods were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as the effect of these potential shares of Common Stock is anti-dilutive. The Company had 4,091,686 and 4,393,005 potential shares of Common Stock excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: ● ● ● Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations and notes payable approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities. The following table sets forth the liabilities at June 30, 2020 and 2019, which is recorded on the balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement: Contingent Consideration Liability The roll forward of the contingent consideration liability is as follows: Balance June 30, 2019 Contingent Shares issued pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement Fair value adjustment Balance June 30, 2020 F-12 Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Inputs (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Other Unobservable (Level 3) — — 3,182,434 $ $ $ $ 5,667,000 (2,210,000) (274,566) 3,182,434 ENOCHIAN BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Stock Options and Warrants - The Company has granted stock options to certain employees, officers and directors that were subsequently converted to Grant Warrants. During the years presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has granted stock options and warrants. The Company accounts for options and warrants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Non-cash compensation costs for employee compensation and consulting fees for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $1,028,724 and $2,124,967, respectively (see Note 7). Stock-Based Compensation —The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation. 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 consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued for goods or services are recognized at the cost of the services received as consideration and are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. For the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 30,000 shares at a value of $144,000. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 10,000 shares at a value of $40,000. (See Note 7). Recent Accounting Pronouncements - The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as of July 1, 2019 using the prospective transition method allowed per ASU 2018-11, and applied the standard only to leases that existed on that date. Under the prospective transition method, the Company does not need to restate the comparative period in transition and will continue to present financial information and disclosures for periods before July 1, 2019 in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 840. The Company has elected the package of practical expedients allowed under ASC Topic 842, which permits the Company to account for its existing operating leases as operating leases under the new guidance, without reassessing the Company’s prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct cost. As a result, of the adoption of the new lease accounting guidance the Company recognized, on July 1, 2019, operating lease right–of–use assets and operating lease liabilities of $1,961,544, and $2,054,295, respectively. On June 30, 2020, the right-of-use assets and the operating lease liabilities included in the audited consolidated balance sheet are $1,703,859 and $1,803,064, respectively. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. This ASU includes additional disclosures requirements for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements including disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income, disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and narrative description of measurement uncertainty related to Level 3 measurements. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU was effective for us on July 1, 2020. While we are continuing to evaluate the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows, we do not expect its impact will be material at this time Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB do not or are not believed to by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS At June 30, 2020 and 2019, definite-life intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, consisted of patents on the Company’s products and processes of $77,323 and $93,299, respectively. The patents are recorded at cost and amortized over twenty years from the date of application. Amortization expense for the year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $14,722 and $15,154, respectively. At June 30, 2020 and 2019, indefinite life intangibles assets consisted of a licenses agreements classified as In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”) intangible assets, which are not amortizable until the intangible asset provides economic benefit, and goodwill. At June 30, 2020 and 2019, definite-life and indefinite-life intangible assets consisted of the following: Useful Life June 30, 2019 Period Change Effect of Currency Translation June 30, 2020 Definite Life Intangible Assets Patents Less Accumulated Amortization Net Definite-Life Intangible Assets Indefinite Life Intangible Assets License Agreement Goodwill Total Indefinite Life Intangible Assets Expected future amortization expense for the years ended are as follows: 20 Years $ $ $ $ $ $ Year ending June 30, 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter 302,371 $ (209,072) $ $ 93,299 (14,722) (14,722) (3,196) $ 1,942 $ (1,254) $ 299,175 (221,852) 77,323 154,824,000 11,640,000 166,464,000 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 154,824,000 11,640,000 166,464,000 15,154 15,154 15,154 15,154 15,154 1,553 77,323 During February 2018, the Company acquired a License Agreement (as licensee) to the HIV therapy being developed as ENOB-HV-01 which consists of a perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and sole and exclusive worldwide license to research, develop, use, sell, have sold, make, have made, offer for sale, import and otherwise commercialize certain intellectual property in cellular therapies for the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy exclusively for HIV in humans, and research and development exclusively relating to HIV in humans. Because the HIV License Agreement is considered, an IPR&D intangible asset it is classified as an indefinite life asset that is tested annually for impairment. Impairment – Following the fourth quarter of each year, management performs its annual test of impairment of intangible assets by performing a quantitative assessment and determines if it is more than likely than not that, the fair value of the asset is greater than or equal to the carrying value of the asset. The results of the quantitative assessment supported Management’s conclusion that an impairment adjustment was not required as of June 30, 2020. F-15 NOTE 4 — LEASES ENOCHIAN BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Operating Leases — On November 13, 2017, the Registrant entered into a Lease Agreement for a term of five years and two months from November 1, 2017 with Plaza Medical Office Building, LLC, pursuant to which the Registrant agreed to lease approximately 2,325 rentable square feet (the “Plaza Lease”). The base rent for the Plaza Lease increases by 3% each year, and ranges from approximately $8,719 per month, for the first year to $10,107 per month for the two months of the sixth year. The equalized monthly lease payment for the term of the lease is $7,862. The Registrant was entitled to $70,800 in tenant improvement allowance in the form of free rent applied over 10 months in equal installments beginning in January 2018. On June 19, 2018, the Registrant entered into a Lease Agreement for a term of ten years from September 1, 2018 with Century City Medical Plaza Land Co., Inc., pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease approximately 2,453 rentable square feet. On February 20, 2019, the Registrant entered into an Addendum to the original Lease Agreement with an effective date of December 1, 2019, where it expanded the lease area to include another 1,101 square feet for a total rentable 3,554 square feet. The base rent increases by 3% each year, and ranges from $17,770 per month for the remainder of the first year to $23,186 per month for the tenth year. The equalized monthly lease payment for the term of the lease is $20,050. The Company is entitled to $148,168 in contributions toward tenant improvements. The Company identified and assessed the following significant assumptions in recognizing the right-of-use asset and corresponding liabilities: Expected lease term — The expected lease term includes both contractual lease periods and, when applicable, cancelable option periods when it is reasonably certain that the Company would exercise such options. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms between 30 months and 86 months. As of June 30, 2020, the weighted-average remaining term is 6.45 years. Incremental borrowing rate — The Company’s lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate. As the Company does not have any external borrowings for comparable terms of its leases, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate based on the U.S. Treasury Yield Curve rate that corresponds to the length of each lease. This rate is an estimate of what the Company would have to pay if borrowing on a collateralized basis over a similar term in an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. As of June 30, 2020, the weighted-average discount rate is 3.99%. Lease and non-lease components — In certain cases the Company is required to pay for certain additional charges for operating costs, including insurance, maintenance, taxes, and other costs incurred, which are billed based on both usage and as a percentage of the Company’s share of total square footage. The Company determined that these costs are non-lease components and they are not included in the calculation of the lease liabilities because they are variable. Payments for these variable, non-lease components are considered variable lease costs and are recognized in the period in which the costs are incurred. For the year ended June 30, 2020, the lease expenses charged to general and administrative expenses amounted to $359,675. Below are the lease commitments for the next 5 years: Year Ending June 30th 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Less imputed interest Total Lease Expense 338,345 348,495 298,305 246,004 253,384 574,821 (256,290) 1,803,064 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ F-16 Prior to the adoption of ASC 842-Leases, the Company recognized rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period and recorded deferred rent expense for rent expense incurred but not yet paid. The Company also recorded deferred rent attributable to cash incentives received under its lease agreements, which were amortized to rent expense over the lease term. During the year ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized total rent expense of $395,528. Disclosures related to periods prior to the adoption of the new lease standard: Under ASC 840, approximate future minimum rental payments due under these leases as of June 30, 2020 would have been as follows: Year Ending June 30 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Total $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 338,345 348,495 298,305 246,004 253,384 853,051 2,337,583 F-17 NOTE 5 — NOTES PAYABLE ENOCHIAN BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Convertible Notes Payable- On February 6, 2020, the Company issued two Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) to an existing stockholder of the Company each with a face value amount of $600,000, convertible into shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes is due and payable on February 6, 2023. Interest on the Convertible Notes commenced accruing on the date of issuance at six percent (6%) per annum, computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months, and is compounded monthly on the final day of each calendar month based upon the Principal and all accrued and unpaid Interest outstanding as of such compound date. The interest is payable in cash on a semi-annual basis. The holder of the Convertible Notes has the right at any time prior to the date that is twelve months from issuance to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid Principal and all unpaid Interest into shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price is equal to $12.00 per share of Common Stock. The Company evaluated the Convertible Notes in accordance with ASC 470-20 and identified that they each contain an embedded conversion feature that shall not be bifurcated from the host document (i.e., the Convertible Notes) as they are not deemed to be readily convertible into cash. All proceeds received from the issuance have been recognized as a liability on the balance sheet. Note Payable- On March 30, 2020 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company issued a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Unsecured Note”) to Paseco APS, a Danish limited company andan existing stockholder of the Company. The principal amount of the Note will be payable on November 30, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”) and bears interest at a fixed rate of 6% per annum, computed based on the number of days between the Issuance Date and the Maturity Date, which was prepaid by the Company in full on the Issuance Date through the issuance of 188,485 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the closing market price on that date for a total value of $501,370. The Company evaluated the Unsecured Note and PIK interest in accordance with ASC 470-Debt and ASC 835-Interest, respectively. Pursuant to ASC 470-20, proceeds received from the issuance are to be recognized at their relative fair value, thus the liability is shown net of the corresponding discount of $493,192, which is the relative fair value of the shares issued for the PIK interest on the closing date using the effective interest method. The discount of $493,192 will be accreted over the life of the Unsecured Note. For the year ended June 30, 2020, the discount amortization of $73,979 was charged to interest expense. The Note Payable balance, net of discount at June 30, 2020 is $4,580,787. For the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded accrued interest and interest expense in the amount of $30,302, and $104,280, respectively. These amounts are reflected in accrued expenses and general and administrative expenses. Paycheck Protection Program Promissory Note-On April 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Paycheck Protection Program Promissory Note (the “PPP Note”) in the principal amount of $272,700 (the “PPP Loan”) from City National Bank (the “PPP Loan Lender”). The PPP Loan was obtained pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP Loan was disbursed by the PPP Loan Lender to the Company on April 20, 2020 (the “Disbursement Date”), and will mature two years from the Disbursement Date. The PPP Loan bears an interest at 1.00% per annum and is payable monthly commencing seven months from the Disbursement Date. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the PPP Loan may only be used by the Company for payroll costs, costs for continuing group healthcare benefits, mortgage interest payments, rent, utility and interest on any other debt obligations that were incurred before February 15, 2020. Because the U.S. government subsequently changed its position and guidelines related to the PPP Loans, the Company repaid the loan on May 4, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has no remaining balances related to the PPP Loans. F-18 NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES ENOCHIAN BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes; which requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal to the expected future tax benefit or expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the deferred tax assets for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the Company’s future earnings, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $29,247,919 and $20,905,755, respectively, giving rise to deferred tax assets of $6,944,248 and $4,454,946, respectively for United States tax purposes which expire in 2036. The Company files Danish and U.S. income tax returns and they are generally no longer subject to tax examinations for years prior to 2008 for their Danish tax returns and 2012 for their U.S. tax returns. The temporary differences, tax credits and carry forwards gave rise to the following deferred tax asset (liabilities) at June 30, 2020 and 2019: Excess of Tax over book depreciation Fixed assets Excess of Tax over book depreciation Patents Stock/options Compensation Depreciation and amortization Net Operating Loss Carryforward Change in Tax Rate Valuation Allowance Total Deferred Tax Asset (Liabilities) June 30 2020 2019 $ (17,628) $ 2,654 761,613 44,278 6,944,248 4,218 $ (7,739,383) — $ (13,985) 3,017 454,643 11,876 4,454,946 — (4,910,497) — In accordance with prevailing accounting guidance, the Company is required to recognize and disclose any income tax uncertainties. The guidance provides a two-step approach to recognize and disclose any income tax uncertainties. The guidance provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits and liabilities when realization of the tax position is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not condition for recognition, and the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized based on the cumulative probability that exceeds 50%. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the deferred tax assets for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the Company’s future earnings, and other future events, the effects of which can be difficult to determine and can only be estimated. Management estimates that it is more likely than not that the Company will not generate adequate net profits to use the deferred tax assets; and consequently, a valuation allowance was recorded for all deferred tax assets. A reconciliation of income tax expense at the federal statutory rate to income tax expense at the Company’s effective rate is as follows for the year ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended June 30, 2019: Computed tax at expected statutory rate Non-US income taxed at different rates Non-deductible expenses / other items Valuation allowance Income Tax Expense June 30 2020 2019 $ (2,828,885) $ (3,783,461) $ 2,828,885 — $ 3,783,461 (111,716) The components of income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended June 30, 2019 consisted of the following: Current Tax Expense Danish Income Tax (Benefit) Total Current Tax Expense (Benefit) Deferred Income Tax Expense (Benefit) Excess of Tax over Book Depreciation Fixed Assets Excess of Tax over Book Depreciation Patents Stock/options Compensation Depreciation and amortization Net Operating Loss Carryforwards Change in Tax Rate Change in the Valuation allowance Total Deferred Tax Expense Deferred income tax expense/(benefit) results primarily from the reversal of temporary timing differences between tax and financial statement income.

The Certifying Officers have designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information is made known to the Certifying Officers, particularly during the period in which this Report was prepared. The Certifying Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company used the “Internal Control over Financial Reporting Integrated Framework” issued by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) to conduct an extensive review of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of each of the periods covered by this Annual Report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that the information we were required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the SEC Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Management Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Management used the “Internal Control over Financial Reporting Integrated Framework” issued by COSO to conduct an extensive review of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting to make that evaluation. As of June 30, 2020, the Management concluded that internal controls over financial reporting were not effective, based on COSO’s framework. The deficiencies are attributed to the fact that the Company does not have adequate resources to address complex accounting issues, as well as an inadequate number of persons to whom it can segregate accounting tasks within the Company so as to ensure the segregation of duties between those persons who approve and issue payment from those persons who are responsible to record and reconcile such transactions within the Company’s accounting system. These control deficiencies will be monitored, and attention will be given to the matter as we continue to accelerate through our current growth stage. This Annual Report does not include attestation reports of the Company’s registered public accounting firms regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report. 28 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Charter Documents The following is a summary of certain provisions of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our bylaws. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the corporate law of Delaware and our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws. Effect of Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination (as defined below) with any interested stockholder (as defined below) for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: ● ● ● prior to that date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares of voting stock outstanding (but not the voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by persons who are directors and officers and by excluding employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or on or subsequent to that date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. Section 203 defines “business combination” to include the following: ● ● ● ● any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder; subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; subject to limited exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or ● the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, or who beneficially owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within a three-year period immediately prior to the date of determining whether such person is an interested stockholder, and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by any of these entities or persons. Our Charter Documents. Our charter documents include provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal that a stockholder might consider favorable, including a proposal that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders. Certain of these provisions are summarized in the following paragraphs. Effects of authorized but unissued common and preferred stock. One of the effects of the existence of authorized but unissued common and preferred stock may be to enable our board of directors to make more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of management. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover transaction by diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. Cumulative Voting. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would allow holders of less than a majority of the stock to elect some directors. Vacancies. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that all vacancies may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. Exhibit 14.1 ENOCHIAN BIOSCIENCES, INC. CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS POLICY (Replacing 7/12/2012 Policy) (Adopted and Effective as 9/22/2020) INTRODUCTION Enochian Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of business conduct and ethics. This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (this “Code”) reflects the business practices and principles of behavior that support this commitment. We expect every director, officer, and employee to read and understand this Code and its application to the performance of his or her business responsibilities. References in this Code to “employees” are intended to cover officers and, as applicable, directors. Our officers, managers, and other supervisors are expected to develop in employees a sense of commitment to the spirit, as well as the letter of this Code. Supervisors are also expected to ensure that all agents and contractors conform to Code standards when working for or on behalf of the Company. The compliance environment within each supervisor’s assigned area of responsibility is a factor in evaluating the quality of that individual’s performance. Also, any employee who makes an exemplary effort to implement and uphold our legal and ethical standards guided by this Code may be recognized for that effort in his or her performance review. Nothing in this Code alters the at-will employment policy or agreements of the Company. This Code is a general guide as it is impracticable to describe every practice or principle related to honest, legal, and ethical conduct. This Code addresses conduct that is particularly important to proper dealings with the people and entities with whom we interact but reflects only a part of our commitment as a Company. From time to time, we may adopt additional policies, practices, and procedures applicable to some or all of our employees. In any event, it is the responsibility of each employee to apply common sense, together with his or her own highest personal ethical standards, in making business decisions where there is no stated guideline in this Code. Action by members of your family, significant others, or other persons who live in your household (referred to in this Code as “family members”) also may potentially result in ethical issues to the extent that they involve the Company’s business. For example, acceptance of inappropriate gifts by a family member from one of our suppliers could create a conflict of interest and result in a Code violation attributable to you. Consequently, in complying with this Code, you should consider not only your conduct but also that of your family members, significant others, and other persons who live in your household. Do not hesitate to ask questions about whether any conduct may violate this Code and voice concerns or clarify gray areas when a circumstance arises. Section 17 below details the compliance resources available to you. Also, you should be alert to possible violations of this Code by others and report suspected violations without fear of any form of retaliation, as further described in Section 17. Violations of this Code will not be tolerated. Any employee who violates the standards in this Code may be subject to immediate disciplinary action, which, depending on the nature of the violation and the history of the employee, may range from a warning or reprimand up to and including termination of employment and, in appropriate cases, civil legal action or referral for regulatory or criminal prosecution. 1.1 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Page 1 of 12 1. HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT It is the policy of the Company to promote the highest standards of integrity by conducting our affairs honestly and ethically. The integrity and reputation of the Company depend on the honesty, fairness, and integrity brought to the job by each person associated with us, and unyielding personal integrity is the foundation of corporate integrity. 2. LEGAL COMPLIANCE Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation of this Code. Our success depends upon each employee’s operating within legal guidelines and cooperating with local, national, and international authorities. We expect employees to understand the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to their business functions and areas of responsibility. We will hold or provide access to periodic training sessions or relevant education to ensure that all employees comply with the relevant laws, rules, and regulations associated with their roles and relationship with the Company, including laws prohibiting insider trading (which are discussed in further detail in Section 3 below). While we do not expect you to memorize every detail of these laws, rules, and regulations, we want you to be able to determine when to seek advice from others and to actively seek that advice where appropriate. If you do have a question in the area of legal compliance, it is important that you not hesitate to seek answers from your supervisor or the Compliance Officer (as described in Section 17). Disregard of the law will not be tolerated. Violation of local, domestic or foreign laws, rules, and regulations may subject an individual, as well as the Company, to civil and/or criminal penalties. You should be aware that conduct and records, including emails, are subject to internal and external audits, and to discovery by third parties in the event of a government investigation or civil litigation. It is in everyone’s best interests to know and comply with our legal and ethical obligations in the first instance. 3. INSIDER TRADING Employees who have access to confidential (or “inside”) information are not permitted to use or share that information for stock trading purposes or for any other purpose except to conduct our business. All non-public information about the Company or about companies with which we do business is considered confidential information. To use material non-public information in connection with buying or selling securities, including “tipping” others who might make an investment decision based on this information, is not only unethical, it is illegal. Employees must exercise the utmost care when handling material inside information. We have adopted a separate Insider Trading Policy that provides additional details and guidance, which you will be expected to comply with as a condition of your employment with the Company. Also, we have a trading period window that applies specifically to our officers, directors, and certain other employees. You should consult our Insider Trading Policy for more specific information on the definition of “inside” information and on buying and selling our securities or securities of companies with which we do business. 4. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT; REGULATORY COMPLIANCE The research and development of pharmaceutical products are subject to a number of legal and regulatory requirements, including standards related to ethical research procedures and proper scientific conduct. We expect employees to comply with all such requirements. If you do have a question in the area of proper scientific conduct, it is important that you not hesitate to seek answers from your supervisor 1.1 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Page 2 of 12 5. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS LAWS Our employees are expected to comply with the applicable laws in all countries to which they travel and conduct Company business, in which they operate, and where we otherwise do business, including laws prohibiting bribery, corruption, or the conduct of business with specified individuals, companies or countries. The fact that in some countries, certain laws are not enforced or that violation of those laws is not subject to public criticism will not be accepted as an excuse for noncompliance. Also, we expect employees to comply with U.S. laws, rules, and regulations governing the conduct of business by its citizens and corporations outside the U.S. These U.S. laws, rules, and regulations, which extend to all our activities outside the U.S., include: ● The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits directly or indirectly giving anything of value to a government official to obtain or retain business or favorable treatment, and requires the maintenance of accurate books of account, with all company transactions being properly recorded; ● U.S. Embargoes, which generally prohibit U.S. companies, their subsidiaries, and their employees from doing business with, or traveling to, certain countries subject to sanctions imposed by the U.S. government, as well as specific companies and individuals identified on lists published by the U.S. Treasury Department; ● U.S. Export Controls, which restrict exports from the U.S. and re-exports from other countries of goods, software, and technology to many countries, and prohibit transfers of U.S.-origin items to denied persons and entities; and ● Anti-boycott Regulations, which prohibit U.S. companies from taking any action that has the effect of furthering or supporting a restrictive trade practice or boycott imposed by a foreign country against a country friendly to the U.S. or any U.S. person. If you have a question as to whether an activity is restricted or prohibited, seek assistance before taking any action, including giving any verbal assurances that might be regulated by international laws. 6. ANTITRUST Antitrust laws are designed to protect the competitive process. These laws are based on the premise that the public interest is best served by vigorous competition and will suffer from illegal agreements or collusion among competitors. Antitrust laws generally prohibit: ● agreements, formal or informal, with competitors that harm competition or customers, including price-fixing and allocations of customers, territories, or contracts; ● agreements, formal or informal that establish or fix the price at which a customer may resell a product; and ● the acquisition or maintenance of a monopoly or attempted monopoly through anti-competitive conduct. 1.1 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Page 3 of 12 Certain kinds of information, such as pricing, production, and inventory, should not be exchanged with competitors, regardless of how innocent or casual the exchange may be and regardless of the setting, whether business or social. Antitrust laws impose severe penalties for certain types of violations, including criminal penalties and potential fines and damages of millions of dollars, which may be tripled under certain circumstances. Understanding the requirements of antitrust and unfair competition laws of the various jurisdictions where we do business can be difficult, and you are urged to seek assistance from your supervisor or the Compliance Officer whenever you have a question relating to these laws. 7. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE Federal law imposes criminal liability on any person or Company that contaminates the environment with any hazardous substance that could cause injury to the community or environment. Violation of environmental laws can involve monetary fines and imprisonment. We expect employees to comply with all applicable environmental laws. It is our policy to conduct our business in an environmentally responsible way that minimizes environmental impacts. We are committed to minimizing and, if practicable, eliminating the use of any substance or material that may cause environmental damage, reducing waste generation and disposing of all waste through safe and responsible methods, minimizing environmental risks by employing safe technologies and operating procedures, and being prepared to respond appropriately to accidents and emergencies. 8. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST We respect the rights of our employees to manage their personal affairs and investments and do not wish to impinge on their personal lives. At the same time, employees should avoid conflicts of interest that occur when their personal interests may interfere in any way with the performance of their duties or the best interests of the Company. A conflicting personal interest could result from an expectation of personal gain now or in the future or from a need to satisfy a prior or concurrent personal obligation. We expect our employees to be free from influences that conflict with the best interests of the Company or might deprive the Company of their undivided loyalty in business dealings. Even the appearance of a conflict of interest where none exists can be damaging and should be avoided. Whether or not a conflict of interest exists or will exist can be unclear. Conflicts of interest are prohibited unless specifically authorized, as described below. If you have any questions about a potential conflict or if you become aware of an actual or potential conflict, and you are not an officer or director of the Company, you must discuss the matter with your supervisor or the Compliance Officer. Supervisors may not authorize conflict of interest matters or make determinations as to whether a problematic conflict of interest exists without first seeking the approval of the Compliance Officer and providing the Compliance Officer with a written description of the activity. If the supervisor is involved in the potential or actual conflict, you should discuss the matter directly with the Compliance Officer. Officers and directors must seek any authorizations and determinations from the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), depending on the nature of the conflict of interest. We have a Related-Party Transactions Policy to provide further guidance to our officers and directors on this matter. Factors that may be considered in evaluating a potential conflict of interest are, among others: ● whether it may interfere with the employee’s job performance, responsibilities or morale; ● whether the employee has access to confidential information; 1.1 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Page 4 of 12 ● whether it may interfere with the job performance, responsibilities, or morale of others within the organization; ● any potential adverse or beneficial impact on our business; ● any potential adverse or beneficial impact on our relationships with our customers or suppliers or other service providers; ● whether it would enhance or support a competitor’s position; ● the extent to which it would result in financial or other benefit (direct or indirect) to the employee; ● the extent to which it would result in financial or other benefit (direct or indirect) to one of our customers, suppliers, or other service providers; and ● the extent to which it would appear improper to an outside observer. Although no list can include every possible situation in which a conflict of interest could arise, the following are examples of situations that may, depending on the facts and circumstances, involve problematic conflicts of interests: ● Employment by (including consulting for) or service on the board of a competitor, customer or supplier, or other service provider. Activity that enhances or supports the position of a competitor to the detriment of the Company is prohibited, including employment by or service on the board of a competitor. Employment by or service on the board of a customer or supplier or other service provider is generally discouraged, and you must seek authorization in advance if you plan to take such a position. ● Owning, directly or indirectly, a significant financial interest in any entity that does business, seeks to do business, or competes with us. In addition to the factors described above, persons evaluating ownership in other entities for conflicts of interest will consider the size and nature of the investment; the nature of the relationship between the other entity and the Company; the employee’s access to confidential information; and the employee’s ability to influence the Company’s decisions. If you would like to acquire a financial interest of that kind, you must seek approval in advance. ● ● ● Soliciting or accepting gifts, favors, or any other benefit or benefits (including reputational), loans, or preferential treatment from any person or entity that does business or seeks to do business with us. See Section 12 for further discussion of the issues involved in this type of conflict. Soliciting contributions for any charity or for any political candidate from any person or entity that does business or seeks to do business with us. Taking personal advantage of corporate opportunities. See Section 9 for further discussion of the issues involved in this type of conflict. ● Moonlighting without permission. ● Conducting our business transactions with your family member or a business in which you have a significant financial interest. Related-person transactions covered by our Related-Person Transactions Policy must be reviewed in accordance with such Policy and will be publicly disclosed to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations. 1.1 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Page 5 of 12 ● Exercising supervisory or other authority on behalf of the Company over a co-worker who is also a family member. The employee’s supervisor and/or the Compliance Officer will consult with our Human Resources department to assess the advisability of reassignment. Loans to, or guarantees of obligations of, employees or their family members by the Company could constitute an improper personal benefit to the recipients of these loans or guarantees, depending on the facts and circumstances. Some loans are expressly prohibited by law, and applicable law requires that our Board of Directors approve all loans and guarantees to employees. As a result, all loans and guarantees by the Company must be approved in advance by the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee. 9. CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES You may not take personal advantage of opportunities for the Company that are presented to you or discovered by you as a result of your position with us or through your use of corporate property or information unless authorized by your supervisor, the Compliance Officer, or the Audit Committee, as described in Section 17. Even opportunities that are acquired privately by you may be questionable if they are related to our existing or proposed lines of business. Participation in an investment or outside business opportunity that is directly related to our lines of business must be pre-approved. You may not use your position with the Company or our corporate property or information for improper personal gain, nor should you compete with us in any way. 10. MAINTENANCE OF CORPORATE BOOKS, RECORDS, DOCUMENTS, AND ACCOUNTS; FINANCIAL INTEGRITY; PUBLIC REPORTING The integrity of our records and public disclosure depends upon the validity, accuracy, and completeness of the information supporting the entries to our books of account. Therefore, our corporate and business records should be completed accurately and honestly. The making of false or misleading entries, whether they relate to financial results or test results, is strictly prohibited. Our records serve as a basis for managing our business and are important in meeting our obligations to customers, suppliers, creditors, employees, and others with whom we do business. As a result, it is important that our books, records, and accounts accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, our assets, liabilities, revenues, costs, and expenses, as well as all transactions and changes in assets and liabilities. We require that: ● no entry be made in our books and records that intentionally hides or disguises the nature of any transaction or any of our liabilities, or misclassifies any transactions as to accounts or accounting periods; ● transactions are supported by appropriate documentation; ● the terms of sales and other commercial transactions be reflected accurately in the documentation for those transactions, and all such documentation be reflected accurately in our books and records; ● employees comply with our system of internal controls; and ● no cash or other assets be maintained for any purpose in any unrecorded or “off-the-books” fund. 1.1 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Page 6 of 12 Our accounting records are also relied upon to produce reports for our management, stockholders, and creditors, as well as governmental agencies. In particular, we rely upon our accounting and other business and corporate records in preparing periodic and current reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Securities laws require that these reports provide full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure and fairly present our financial condition and results of operations. Employees who collect, provide or analyze information for or otherwise contribute in any way in preparing or verifying these reports should strive to ensure that our financial disclosure is accurate and transparent and that our reports contain all of the information about the Company that would be important to enable stockholders and potential investors to assess the soundness and risks of our business and finances and the quality and integrity of our accounting and disclosures. Also: ● ● ● no employee may take or authorize any action that would intentionally cause our financial records or financial disclosure to fail to comply with generally accepted accounting principles, the rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable laws, rules, and regulations including of The Nasdaq Stock Market; all employees must cooperate fully with our Accounting Department, as well as our independent public accountants and counsel, respond to their questions with candor, and provide them with complete and accurate information to help ensure that our books and records, as well as our reports filed with the SEC, are accurate and complete; and no employee should knowingly make (or cause or encourage any other person to make) any false or misleading statement in any of our reports filed with the SEC or knowingly omit (or cause or encourage any other person to omit) any information necessary to make the disclosure in any of our reports accurate in all material respects. Any employee who becomes aware of any departure from these standards has a responsibility to report his or her knowledge promptly to a supervisor, the Compliance Officer, the Audit Committee, or one of the other compliance resources described in Section 17. 11. FAIR DEALING We strive to outperform our competition fairly and honestly through superior performance and not through unethical or illegal business practices. Acquiring proprietary information from others through improper means, possessing trade secret information that was improperly obtained, or inducing improper disclosure of confidential information from past or present employees of other companies is prohibited, even if motivated by an intention to advance our interests. If information is obtained by mistake, that may constitute a trade secret or other confidential information of another business, or if you have any questions about the legality of the proposed information gathering, you must consult your supervisor or the Compliance Officer, as further described in Section 17. You are expected to deal fairly with our suppliers, employees, and anyone else with whom you have contact in the course of performing your job. Be aware that the Federal Trade Commission Act provides that “unfair methods of competition in commerce, and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce, are declared unlawful.” It is a violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act to engage in deceptive, unfair, or unethical practices, and to make misrepresentations in connection with sales activities. Employees involved in procurement have a special responsibility to adhere to principles of fair competition in the purchase of products and services by selecting suppliers based exclusively on normal commercial considerations, such as quality, cost, availability, service, and reputation, and not on the receipt of special favors. 1.1 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Page 7 of 12 12. GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT Business gifts and entertainment are meant to create goodwill and sound working relationships and not to gain improper advantage with current or potential suppliers, vendors, or partners or facilitate approvals from government officials. The exchange, as a normal business courtesy, of meals or entertainment (such as tickets to a game or the theatre or a round of golf) is a common and acceptable practice as long as it is not extravagant. Unless express permission is received from a supervisor, the Compliance Officer or the Audit Committee, gifts and entertainment cannot be offered, provided, or accepted by any employee unless consistent with customary business practices and not excessive in value. This principle applies to our transactions everywhere in the world, even where the practice is widely considered “a way of doing business.” Employees should not accept gifts or entertainment that may reasonably be deemed to affect their judgment or actions in the performance of their duties. Under some statutes, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (as described in Section 5 above), giving anything of value to a government official to obtain or retain business or favorable treatment is a criminal act subject to prosecution and conviction. Likewise, payments to physicians involved in clinical trials for the Company require disclosure and create potential regulatory risks under applicable federal and state laws. Discuss with your supervisor or the Compliance Officer any proposed entertainment or gifts if you are uncertain about their appropriateness. 13. PROTECTION AND PROPER USE OF COMPANY ASSETS All employees are expected to protect our assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness, and waste have a direct impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Our property, such as office supplies, computer equipment, products, laboratory supplies, and office or laboratory space, are expected to be used only for legitimate business purposes. However, incidental personal use may be permitted. You may not, however, use our corporate name, any brand name or trademark owned or associated with the Company or any letterhead stationery for any personal purpose. You may not while acting on behalf of the Company or while using our computing or communications equipment or facilities, either: ● ● access the internal computer system (also known as “hacking”) or other resource of another entity without express written authorization from the entity responsible for operating that resource; or commit any unlawful or illegal act, including harassment, libel, fraud, sending of unsolicited commercial email (also known as “spam”) in violation of applicable law, trafficking in contraband of any kind, or espionage. If you receive authorization to access another entity’s internal computer system or other resource, you must make a permanent record of that authorization so that it may be retrieved for future reference, and you may not exceed the scope of that authorization. Unsolicited commercial email is regulated by law in a number of jurisdictions. If you intend to send unsolicited commercial email to persons outside of the Company, either while acting on our behalf or using our computing or communications equipment or facilities, you should contact your supervisor or the Compliance Officer for approval. 1.1 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Page 8 of 12 All data residing on or transmitted through our computing and communications facilities, including email and word processing documents, is the property of the Company and subject to inspection, retention, and review by the Company, with or without an employee’s or third party’s knowledge, consent or approval, in accordance with applicable law. Any misuse or suspected misuse of our assets must be immediately reported to your supervisor or the Compliance Officer. 14. CONFIDENTIALITY One of our most important assets is our confidential information. As an employee of the Company, you may learn information about the Company that is confidential and proprietary. You also may learn of information before that information is released to the general public. Employees who have received or have access to confidential information should take care to keep this information confidential. Confidential information includes non- public information that might be of use to competitors or harmful to the Company or its suppliers, vendors, or partners if disclosed, such as business, marketing, and service plans, financial information, product development, scientific data, manufacturing, laboratory results, designs, databases, customer lists, pricing strategies, personnel data, personally identifiable information pertaining to our employees, patients or other individuals (including, for example, names, addresses, telephone numbers, and social security numbers), and similar types of information provided to us by our customers, suppliers, and partners. This information may be protected by patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws. Also, because we interact with other companies and organizations, there may be times when you learn confidential information about other companies before that information has been made available to the public. You must treat this information in the same manner as you are required to treat our confidential and proprietary information. There may even be times when you must treat as confidential the fact that we have an interest in, or are involved with, another company. You are expected to keep confidential information and proprietary information confidential unless and until that information is released to the public through approved channels (usually through a press release, an SEC filing, or formal communication from a member of senior management, as further described in Section 15). Every employee has a duty to refrain from disclosing to any person confidential or proprietary information about us or any other company learned in the course of employment here until that information is disclosed to the public through approved channels. This Policy requires you to refrain from discussing confidential or proprietary information with outsiders and even with other Company employees unless those fellow employees have a legitimate need to know the information in order to perform their job duties. Unauthorized use or distribution of this information could also be illegal and result in civil liability and/or criminal penalties. Take care to not inadvertently disclose confidential information. Materials that contain confidential information, such as memos, notebooks, computer disks, and laptop computers, should be stored securely. Unauthorized posting or discussion of any information concerning our business, information, or prospects on the Internet is prohibited. You may not discuss our business, information, or prospects in any “chat room,” regardless of whether you use your own name or a pseudonym. Be cautious when discussing sensitive information in public places like elevators, airports, restaurants, and “quasi-public” areas within the Company, or in and around the Company’s facilities. All Company emails, voicemails, and other communications are presumed confidential and should not be forwarded or otherwise disseminated outside of the Company, except where required for legitimate business purposes. In addition to the above responsibilities, if you are handling information protected by any privacy policy published by us, then you must handle that information in accordance with the applicable Policy. 1.1 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Page 9 of 12 15. MEDIA/PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS It is our policy to disclose material information concerning the Company to the public only through specific limited channels to avoid inappropriate publicity and to ensure that all those with an interest in the Company will have equal access to information. All inquiries or calls from the press and financial analysts should be referred to our Executive Vice-Chair or Chief Financial Officer. Unless a specific exception has been made by our Executive Vice-Chair or Chief Financial Officer, they are the only persons who may communicate with the press or investors on behalf of the Company. You also may not provide any information to the media or investors about us off the record, for background, confidentially or secretly, including, without limitation, by way of social media, including postings on internet websites, chat rooms, or “blogs.” 16. WAIVERS Any waiver of this Code for executive officers (including, where required by applicable laws, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, or principal accounting officer (or persons performing similar functions)) or directors may be authorized only by our Board or, to the extent permitted by the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, a committee of the Board, and will be disclosed as required by applicable laws, rules and regulations. 17. COMPLIANCE STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES Compliance Resources To facilitate compliance with this Code, we have established the position of Compliance Officer to oversee this program. The Compliance Officer is a person to whom you can address any questions or concerns related to this Code or any other matters relating to legal or regulatory compliance. The Compliance Officer is our Chief Financial Officer. In addition to fielding questions or concerns with respect to potential violations of this Code or any other matters relating to legal or regulatory compliance, the Compliance Officer is responsible for: ● investigating possible violations of this Code; ● training new employees in Code policies; ● conducting annual training sessions to refresh employees’ familiarity with this Code; ● ● ● distributing copies of this Code annually via email to each employee with a reminder that each employee is responsible for reading, understanding, and complying with this Code; updating this Code as needed and alerting employees to any updates, with appropriate approval of the Audit Committee, to reflect changes in the law, the Company’s operations, and in recognized best practices, and to reflect the Company’s experience; overseeing the Company’s compliance program and reporting to the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee material matters that may arise relating to the Company’s legal and regulatory compliance efforts; and ● otherwise promoting an atmosphere of responsible and ethical conduct. 1.1 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Page 10 of 12 Your most immediate resource for any matter related to this Code is your supervisor. He or she may have the information you need or may be able to refer the question to another appropriate source. There may, however, be times when you prefer not to go to your supervisor. In these instances, you should feel free to discuss your concern with the Compliance Officer. If you are uncomfortable speaking with the Compliance Officer because he or she works in your department or is one of your supervisors, please contact the Executive Vice-Chair. A compliance email hotline (compliance@enochianbio.com) is also available to those who wish to ask questions about the Company’s Policy, seek guidance on specific situations, submit concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters, or report violations of this Code. The email goes directly to the nominating & governance committee. The committee will work with the Compliance Officer to address the issue raised. Your contact with the compliance email hotline will be kept strictly confidential to the extent reasonably possible within the objectives of this Code. Clarifying Questions and Concerns; Reporting Possible Violations If you encounter a situation or are considering a course of action and its appropriateness is unclear, discuss the matter promptly with your supervisor or the Compliance Officer; even the appearance of impropriety can be very damaging and should be avoided. If you are aware of a suspected or actual violation of Code standards by others, you have a responsibility to report it. You are expected to promptly provide a compliance resource with a specific description of the violation that you believe has occurred, including any information you have about the persons involved and the time of the violation. Whether you choose to speak with your supervisor or the Compliance Officer, you should do so without fear of any form of retaliation. We will take prompt disciplinary action against any employee who retaliates against you, up to and including termination of employment. Supervisors must promptly report any complaints or observations of Code violations to the Compliance Officer. If you believe your supervisor has not taken appropriate action, you should contact the Compliance Officer directly. The Compliance Officer will investigate all reported possible Code violations promptly and with the highest degree of confidentiality that is possible under the specific circumstances. Neither you nor your supervisor may conduct any preliminary investigation unless authorized to do so by the Compliance Officer. Your cooperation in the investigation will be expected. As needed, the Compliance Officer will consult with our outside legal counsel, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and/or the Audit Committee. It is our policy to employ a fair process by which to determine violations of this Code. With respect to any complaints or observations of Code violations, including, but not limited to, matters that may involve accounting, internal accounting controls, and auditing concerns, the Compliance Officer shall promptly inform the chair of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee members, or such other persons as the Audit Committee determines to be appropriate under the circumstances. The Nominating and Governance Committee shall be responsible for supervising and overseeing the inquiry and any investigation that is undertaken. Also, any matters involving accounting, internal accounting controls, and auditing concerns that are reported via the compliance email hotline shall be routed to both the Compliance Officer and the Audit Committee. If any investigation indicates that a violation of this Code has probably occurred, we will take such action as we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. If we determine that an employee is responsible for a Code violation, he or she will be subject to disciplinary action up to, and including, termination of employment and, in appropriate cases, civil legal action or referral for regulatory or criminal prosecution. Appropriate action may also be taken to deter any future Code violations. 1.1 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Page 11 of 12 CERTIFICATE OF AGREEMENT AND COMPLIANCE TO THE CODE OF CONDUCT AND BUSINESS ETHICS POLICY I have thoroughly read and understood the requirements of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Policy.
